Improving the efficiency of solar cells based on CsSn0.5Ge0.5I3 perovskite by using ZnO nanorods

Subject of study. Environmentally friendly tin and germanium-based halide perovskite materials are promising candidates attracting more attention as lead-free halide perovskite solar cells. However, the limited power conversion efficiency of these perovskites is an important issue in the solar cells field. Therefore, in the present study, a different lead-free perovskite was used to reach higher power conversion efficiency. Devices with an indium tin oxide/electron transport layer/perovskite/hole transport layer/Ag structure but different absorber layers were simulated. Simulation was done using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) to investigate the photovoltaic performance of solar cells with CsGeI3 and CsSnI3 perovskites as the absorber layer. Method. Simulation was done by using the SCAPS software, which is a one-dimensional solar cell simulation platform developed at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems of the University of Gent, Belgium. Main results. The effect of the absorber layer thickness was investigated, and a maximum power conversion efficiency of 10.51% was obtained for 1000 nm thick CsGeI3, while the maximum value of 12.83% was obtained for 400 nm thick CsGeI3. Then, to further increase the efficiency, devices with an alternative lead-free CsSn0.5Ge0.5I3 perovskite including a planar ZnO layer and ZnO nanorod arrays as electron transport layers was used in the simulation, and the thickness of the absorber layer was optimized for both devices. For the maximum power conversion efficiency of the devices, the values of 17.56% and 22.61% were achieved for devices with a ZnO layer and ZnO nanorods, respectively. It is noted that the simulation results of this study could provide a perspective towards fabricating an environmentally friendly perovskite-based solar cell. Practical significance. The main significance of the present work is obtaining a significant power conversion efficiency of 22.61% for a device based on environmentally friendly perovskite. Similar work was done in 2021 by M. Azadinia et al. [Mater. Today Energy20, 100647 (2021)10.1016/j.mtener.2021.100647], in which a comparable power conversion efficiency of 26.9% was reported for a device with CsSn1−xGexI3 perovskite.

The Improvement of User Satisfaction for Two Urban Parks in Dubai, UAE: Bay Avenue Park and Al Ittihad Park

The population of Dubai has increased dramatically in the last 40 years. Along with social changes, neighborhood parks are becoming increasingly important for enhancing the residents’ quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the physical environment of parks and investigate park users’ satisfaction in neighborhood parks of Dubai. After defining the park and surrounding environment for access, a field survey was performed at Bay Avenue Park and Al Ittihad Park. The data for analysis were collected from the Department of Geographical Information System (GIS) Center at Dubai Municipality. The results show that the standard duration was 60–90 min, and the walking/driving time was 10–20 min. “Children Facility” and “Various Attractions” were low in both parks. The statistical results of multiple regression analysis of the derived factors and satisfaction show that Bay Avenue Park influenced satisfaction in the surrounding environment for access, pedestrian space, park facility, convenience and comfort of the park, and various attractions and activities. Furthermore, Al Ittihad Park influenced satisfaction in pedestrian space, green landscape, surrounding environment for access, park facilities, and safe access. Therefore, factors such as park facilities, surrounding environment for access, and pedestrian space were analyzed to affect satisfaction in both parks. The analysis of the surrounding environment for access factors using GIS would methodologically help determine priorities for future improvements around parks. However, this study is limited by the scope and investigation period of the target parks, and detailed factors related to the surrounding environment for access are also not evaluated.

Digitalization of Land Resources as the Main Factor in the Implementation of Legal Regulation of Entrepreneurial Activity

This article analyzes the main problems of the implementation and legal regulation of «digital agriculture». The large-scale application of digital technologies in management, social and business processes determines the relevance of the inclusion of digital transformation factors in the assessment of the socio-economic possibilities of territorial planning. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to include digitalization factors in the assessment of the aggregate potential of territorial socio-economic systems, to develop and test a methodology for integrative assessment of the impact of digital transformation factors on the state and growth of the socioeconomic possibilities of the territorial system. Methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and grouping, generalization and expert assessments, index and correlation methods of economic and statistical analysis are used. The working hypothesis of the undertaken research suggests the possibility of developing and applying a methodological approach to the analysis of the state and dynamics of digitalization processes, reflecting the interdependence of the characteristics of the possibilities of rural territories and the parameters of the digital transformation of the rural sphere of life. The concepts of digitalization and digital potential are defined, an annotated list of the main methodological approaches to assessing the potential of the territorial system is given, an author's version of the methodology for analyzing and evaluating the potential of digitalization of rural territories is proposed and tested, a model of a unified digital platform for the purposes of state tactical planning of sustainable development of rural territories is substantiated, a set of directions of digital transformation of subjects of the sphere of life of the region is structured, a multilevel set of indicators has been formed for a comparable assessment of the state and dynamics of the development of digital transformation, useful for developing options for prioritization when justifying tactical decisions in the field of digitalization. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt has been made to develop a methodological approach to assessing the potential of the territorial system, taking into account the factors of digital transformation of processes in the field of production, exchange, distribution and consumption of public products. The role of modern land management in the implementation of the tasks of effective land management is shown. The possibilities of modern departmental information systems in solving the issues of geoinformation support of the agro-industrial compound are considered.

The necessity of preparing new personnel for the industry in the conditions of digitalization was noted.

Aligning digital literacy and student academic success: Lessons learned from COVID-19 pandemic

In this paper the alignment of computer and digital literacy as well as student academic success were examined. Lack of adequate functional digital literacy training and the unreadiness of higher education institutions for the impact of random shocks such as COVID-19 pandemic has gravely affected teaching and learning. The purpose of this paper is to make the case for preparedness of students to meet the needs of technology jobs by mandating and aligning digital literacy and student success. As COVID-19 Pandemic was spreading through the communities of the United States, institutions of higher education transitioned to fully online teaching and learning. Prior to the pandemic, fully online education was secondary to face-to-face format. Only about 20% of classes were fully online while 80% were face-to-face. Digital literacy was given a token treatment as a percentage of the entire curriculum and relegated to only the departments of computer information systems and computer sciences. Faculty, students, staff, families, and communities were not trained for the intensity of fully online education as the only format. Many of them never heard of most of the digital literacy tools. Both faculty and students were forced to learn the use of computers and digital literacy tools to survive the spring 2020 semester. Low-income families were left to the operational schedules of local libraries, many of whom did not have internet presence. The institutions provided limited training for faculty and students to meet the urgency of the time. Faculty and students were forced to purchase expensive tools and hardware to withstand the intensive demand of teaching and learning. Many students were overwhelmed by the pressure of the new way of learning; some dropped out of school while many performed very poorly in their examinations which negatively impacted their overall grade point averages. One year later in spring 2021, the student success outcomes have barely changed. At the same time, technology is advancing despite the raging COVID pandemic. Millions of technology-enabled jobs remain unfilled while millions of university graduates are unemployed. There continues to be a mismatch between current job requirements in the industries and graduating students’ skills. This paper discusses the indispensable value of building computer and digital literacy training into all undergraduate curriculums. We argue for mandated computer and digital literacy exit skills assessment test for all graduating students irrespective of their discipline. We also make the case for increased institutional investment in faculty training in computer and digital literacy readiness. There are a number of remedies suggested to address the speed of advancement in technology, faculty and student functional mastery of basic computer and digital literacy skills. We conclude that all institutions must be proactive rather than reactive to systemic shocks by preparing students for academic success and technological readiness for today’s job markets

The SHOnet learning health system: Infrastructure for continuous learning in pediatric rehabilitation.

To describe the development and implementation of learning health system (LHS) infrastructure for a pediatric specialty care health system to support LHS research in pediatric rehabilitation settings. An existing pediatric common data model (eg, PEDSnet) of standardized medical terminologies for research was expanded and leveraged for this stud, and applied to SHOnet, a clinical research data resource consisting of deidentified data extracted from the electronic health record (EHR) from the Shriners Hospitals for Children speacialty pediatric health care system. We mapped EHR data for laboratory, procedures, drugs, and conditions to standardized vocabularies including ICD-10, CPT, RxNorm, and LOINC to the common data model using an established extraction-transformation-loading process. Rigorous quality checks were conducted to ensure a high degree of data conformance, completeness, and plausibility. SHOnet data elements from all sources are de-identified and the server is managed by the SHC Information Systems Department. SHOnet data are refreshed monthly and data elements are continually expanded based on new research endeavors. Not applicable. The Shriners Health Outcomes Network (SHOnet) includes data for over 10 000 distinct observational data elements based on over two million patient encounters between 2011 and present. The systematic process to develop SHOnet is replicable and flexible for other pediatric rehabilitation research settings interested in building out their LHS capabilities. Challenges and facilitators may arise for building such LHS infrastructure for rehabilitation in areas of (a) data capture, curation, query, and governance, (b) generating knowledge from data, and (c) dissemination and implementation of new institutional knowledge. Further research studies are needed to evaluate these data resources for scalable system-learning endeavors.SHOnet is an exemplar of an LHS for rehabilitation and specialty care settings. The success of an LHS is dependent on engagement of multiple stakeholders, shared governance, effective knowledge translation, and deep commitment to long-term strategies for engaging clinicians, administration, and families in leveraging knowledge to improve clinical outcomes.

Actions Lead to Results: How the Behaviors of Information Systems Professionals Influence the Success of Information Systems Departments

The growing complexity of systems, the increasing intensity of their use, and the greater prominence of technology in supporting organizational activities has meant that information systems (IS) professionals in organizations have to go beyond offering routine task-related support when working with their non-IS colleagues. For organizations to see IS professionals as effective, they have to carry out empathic behaviors such as sharing their IT knowledge with their non-IS colleagues and taking the initiative to minimize inconveniences during IS projects. Drawing from the organizational citizenship behavior concept, we develop a multilevel research model to examine how behaviors that IS professionals perform influence IS departments’ effectiveness. Using data from more than 1,000 respondents working in the global finance industry, we conducted both cross-level and unit-level analyses and found results that support our arguments. Our results deepen the extent to which we understand the role that IS professionals play in supporting post-adoption IS use and digitally empowering business units while also performing their traditional roles.

Practice of Cross-Departmental Competition Using AI Autonomous Driving Technology Education Teaching Material

It is important to further improve autonomous driving technology from the viewpoint of not only reducing vehicle accidents, but also reducing the burden on drivers, improving public transportation, and solving the labor shortage at logistics sites. Therefore, there is an urgent need to train engineers who understand autonomous driving technology and learn how to use it. Engineers involved in autonomous driving are required to have not only vehicle dynamics and control, but also expertise in information systems, as well as knowledge and experience in autonomous driving using AI. The authors have developed educational materials for AI autonomous driving technology, and practiced using the teaching materials according to classroom lectures on vehicle motion and AI. We aimed to develop human resources that contribute to the new development of the industry by holding competitions that compete for comprehensive performance of vehicle motion, control, AI, etc. using these AI-equipped vehicle learning materials. Information system department and mechanical system department participated in this trial of new utilization. This paper describes the practice of an AI automated driving competition with the participation of students from multiple departments as a cross-disciplinary competition and its effects.

Conformance Analysis of Student Activities to Evaluate Implementation of Outcome-Based Education in Early of Pandemic using Process Mining

The learning management system has a core component of a system event log that contains data on activities carried out by students and lecturers in the system. Educational process mining is a field in educational data mining that is concerned with finding, analyzing, and improving the overall educational process based on information hidden in educational data sets and event logs. The learning process in student lectures through the learning management system will produce a process flow according to the event data. In one semester in the information technology-based study program, the subjects taken are data from programming and non-programming courses in the 5th semester of the information systems department, namely Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence (DWBI) and Enterprise Architecture (EA). The Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence course is chosen because the main role in the graduate profile is as a data engineer. While the Enterprise Architecture course is chosen because being an IT Consultant requires knowledge of EA. Each course has different measured learning outcomes and each course has a different pattern in obtaining learning outcomes. To get a pattern for each learning achievement, an analysis of learning patterns, Bloom’s taxonomy level, and CLO pass scores was carried out using process mining. Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) is a competency standard or minimum qualification criteria for graduates’ abilities which include attitudes, knowledge, and skills assigned to courses. The existence of a bloom level indicates the level of expected learning achievement, where the higher the bloom level, the higher the expected ability. The mining process is carried out using Disco and PROM 5.2. The modeling process uses a heuristic miner algorithm because of its ability to express the main behavior recorded in the event log well. Heuristic miner algorithm can also take into account the frequency of the relationship between activities in the log to determine causal dependencies. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference between those that pass the course learning outcomes and those that do not pass. The passed CLO is indicated by the realization value of passing the course exceeding the threshold of 85.50%, while the failed CLO is indicated by the realization value of course graduation that is less than the threshold. In addition, control-flow, the frequency of activities that are often carried out indicate the appropriate learning path and are carried out by students to achieve a minimal assessment of course learning outcomes. In the Enterprise Architecture course, the activity that has the highest frequency in CLO1 is Attempt Quiz, while in CLO6 is View Course. In the Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence course, the activity that has the highest frequency in CLO3 is View Course, while in CLO4 is Attempt Quiz. The initial activity of the learning pattern produced in the two courses begins always with the view course activity. The highest bloom level in the Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence course is C6 Creation, while in the Enterprise Architecture course is C5 Evaluation. Thus, it can be said that Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence courses have a higher level of difficulty than Enterprise Architecture. Previously, in the DWBI course there was one CLO that failed in its implementation. With this research, it is hoped that this research can have a positive impact on adding new insights regarding the use of event logs in the field of education, so implementation of outcome-based education can be used as a benchmark for student learning to succeed in the course which include attitudes, knowledge, and skills.

A study of knowledge use effectiveness in IS department–A human agency perspective

PurposeInformation technology changes rapidly, and the market trend flow changes even faster. The information systems (IS) department in a technological oriented environment has to ensure that the plans or solutions made by the IS department can align with organizational strategy to avoid resources waste, and adaptability is a crucial issue for an IS department too. This study believes that adaptability and alignment of the IS department are ambidexterity. The concept of knowledge use effectiveness (KUE), based on the human agency theory, proposed a research model mainly founded on intellectual capital, human agency theory, and contextual ambidexterity, and used intellectual capital (including human, structure and relational capital) as a framework to find the antecedents of knowledge usage.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducts an empirical research method and collects 150 valid cases from the IS department employees in Taiwan.FindingsThe results of this study are: (1) KUE in an IS department significantly improves the ambidexterity; (2) intellectual capital has a positive influence on KUE; (3) despite human capital having no influence on iteration, iterational KUE has no influence on adaptability.Originality/valueFor academics, this study has developed KUE through a novel perspective and uses the concept of the human agency to articulate the characteristic of KUE, and thus has combined the intellectual capital, human agency and contextual ambidexterity into a research model. For managers, they should learn that KUE has a positive effect on the IS department ambidexterity, composed of alignment and adaptability. By knowing that, they can understand the concrete elaboration of KUE much better. Therefore, enhancing the process of knowledge usage can be a practical and useful way of improving an IS department performance.

A Descriptive Study of Under-five Mortality

Introduction: The under-five mortality is a global problem, which is an important indicator to, demonstrate the quality of health services in a region or a country. The under-5 mortality rate is the probability of dying before five years of age (per 1,000 live births). In the 1990s under-five mortality rate was 12,7 million, but it decreased to 6,2 million in 2015. In Afghanistan due, to more than forty years of war and internal conflict, low socio-economic status, and high level of illiteracy, the under-five mortality rate is very high. 
 Objective: This study aimed to determine the mortality rate and it’s causes in children under the age of five in Nangarhar Province.
 Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted from 2018-2019 in Nangarhar University Teaching Hospital (NUTH). According to Health Management Information System (HMIS) data reports in the mentioned period, 9164 under five patients were admitted in the different wards of Nangarhar University Teaching Hospital.
 Results: The mortality of 824 patients were recorded (824/9164) due to different causes, which contribute 9% of total mortality. Of the 824 deaths, 371 consisted of neonatal deaths, which make 45% of total mortality, the 55% (453/824) deaths have occurred between the age of 28 days and five years. The principal causes of neonatal deaths were 35 percent prematurity, 27 percent birth asphyxia, 24 percent sepsis, 8 percent malformation, and 6 percent was consisting of other diseases such as neonatal jaundice, neonatal tetanus, neonatal diarrhea, birth trauma, etc. In this, study the causes of death occurred in the age of 28 days to five years were 30 percent due to malnutrition, 22 percent pneumonia, 20 percent Diarrhea, 10 percent Measles, 6 percent Malaria, 8 percent Meningo-encephalitis and 4 percent due to other diseases like pertussis, poisoning, trauma, burns, pediatric cardiac disease, neoplastic disease, and others.
 Conclusion: The data of our study has taken from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) department of the 2018-2019 years which was collected from different wards of Nangarhar University Teaching Hospital. The rate of under-five mortality was about 8.99 ~ 9%. The result of our study was different from other countries and the mortality rate may be changed from time to time. These changes belong to several factors such as variable definition, promotion of socio-economic status, risk factors, geographical situation, peoples’ education level, availability of health services, and preventive measures.
