Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Auditing and the Future of Human Workforce Replacement

The advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) over the recent years have been drastic and stunning, and they have revolutionized the world in such ways as influencing the advancement of other fields such as accounting. This research paper aims to study the deep influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the auditing profession. They plan to assess the strengths and the existing applications to auditing: machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, and robotic process automation. These technologies allow the auditors to identify issues that they were previously unable to, or it would have taken them so much of their time to be able to locate. The paper also brings out the various risks related to the application of AI to auditing tasks. Some challenges include data quality and its privacy, ethical dilemmas, opaqueness, and regulatory matters on the use of Artificial Intelligence. Also, the soundness of AI choices and the ability to explain such decisions remain an issue, especially with complex financial data that depend on human perception and experience. Additionally, the paper also examines the possibility of AI imposing to replace human auditors in the future while comparing the technological aspects of the audit together with the humanistic aspects.

Transforming and thriving: Australian students in Vietnam through the New Colombo Plan

ABSTRACT Outbound student mobility has gained increased popularity over the past two decades. It involves an array of stakeholders including students, academics, mobility practitioners and home and host communities. Despite challenges, learning abroad creates a range of impacts on individuals, institutions, and society. Existing research on learning abroad largely concentrates on students’ motivations, activities and effects of outbound mobility on individual students. However, how learning abroad may potentially contribute to transnational connections is largely under-researched. This article responds to a critical gap in the literature by examining not only how learning abroad in Vietnam enriches individual Australian students personally, professionally and culturally but also how such developments could potentially have broader transnational impacts. The article draws on a study including interviews with 24 Australian students learning abroad in Vietnam through the New Colombo Plan. It elucidates the students’ intercultural, personal and professional growth, especially on the humanistic aspects of global citizenship, through their deeper understanding of Vietnam, their formation of a relational capability, and a sense of empathy with the Vietnamese people. The article also highlights the value of Australian students' intercultural experiences and engagement with Vietnam to the society. In particular, it unpacks how Australian students' learning abroad in Vietnam could potentially contribute to enriching Australia-Vietnam connections and collaboration to respond to critical socio-economic issues such as climate change, economic development and poverty.

The "Green Doctor" Initiative: Ethical Healthcare in the Age of Medical Commercialization

The "Green Doctor" initiative represents a groundbreaking shift in global healthcare systems, aiming to prioritize ethical, compassionate, and patient-centered care in an era of increasing commercialization. Proposed by Professor Reza Ghalamghash, the "Green Doctor" concept focuses on the moral obligations of healthcare professionals to provide care that transcends financial considerations and commercial pressures. This innovative model emphasizes the humanistic aspects of medicine, where physicians are encouraged to focus on patients' holistic well-being, mental and emotional health, and equitable access to care. In the face of rising healthcare costs, systemic inequities, and ethical dilemmas posed by profit-driven models, the "Green Doctor" approach is particularly timely. This article explores the philosophical foundation of the "Green Doctor" concept, its implications for healthcare systems around the globe, and its potential to drive meaningful change in public health policy and medical practices. Through a detailed exploration of real-world case studies, the article delves into how this model is being adopted in different healthcare settings, examining its efficacy in enhancing patient outcomes, promoting healthcare equity, and reshaping the relationship between doctors and their patients. Additionally, the article discusses the structural challenges faced by healthcare providers in implementing this approach, including financial constraints, regulatory hurdles, and the need for institutional support. It also highlights the role of technology in facilitating the "Green Doctor" model, particularly through the use of telemedicine, digital health platforms, and AI-driven diagnostics, which allow doctors to extend care to underserved populations while maintaining a patient-centered focus. Finally, the article assesses the future of the "Green Doctor" initiative in the context of evolving global healthcare challenges, offering insights into how it could serve as a sustainable model for ethical healthcare in the 21st century.

EUROPEAN PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND THEIR APPLICATION IN THE ARCHITECTURE OF UKRAINIAN CITIES

The values of a solidary and democratic society, based on the principles of equality, significantly influenced the conceptual and practical principles of design throughout the Modern era. To a large extent, the formative base of modernism – the leading worldview trend that defined the architecture of the 20th and early 21st centuries – is connected with them. One of the important stages in the development of this process was the spread since the 1980s "universal design" concept that aimed at creating a more inclusive space, avoiding various forms of isolation and inequality depending on the physical abilities of a person. Currently, theoretical and practical achievements in this area make it possible to talk about a holistic system of views on design, which, however, still remains largely unrealized to the extent that the goals of universal design can be considered generally achieved. Nevertheless, thanks to the implementation of a number of initiatives and programs, inclusive and friendly environments for different groups have begun to emerge in many European cities, which testify to the benefits of the "design for all" concept. In addition to the purely humanistic aspect, it also gives cities advantages in terms of a more complete use of human potential, maintaining a high economic and social attractiveness, which ultimately increases the competitive indicators of the city. This article consists of three principle parts, two of which are reflective and one analytical. In their sequence, they have the following form: a) an outline of the current concepts of universal design, which are present in various initiatives and programs of the European Union and a wider range of sources that create the relevant discourse; b) assessment of issues related to the equality of space in domestic analysis and practice; c) determination of the local specificity of Ukraine, which determines the perspective of applying the principles of universal design. Based on the analysis, have been outlined the main features of a possible strategy for the development of universal design principles in Ukrainian cities, including taking into account the consequences of full-scale russian military aggression, which began in February 2022.

Innovation of Anti-Bullying Education Model in Islamic Boarding Schools: A Systematic Literature Review

This research investigates the development of anti-bullying education models in Islamic boarding schools between 2019 and 2024, with a focus on the effectiveness of prevention and intervention strategies. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves article inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as data extraction and synthesis processes from two main databases, namely Google Scholar and ERIC, through the Publish or Perish version 8 application. A total of 146 articles were identified, but after selection process, only 25 articles met the inclusion criteria, while publications in the form of books and seminar proceedings were excluded due to the tendency for peer-review to be less stringent. The research results show that the two main models, namely early prevention and intervention against perpetrators and victims of bullying, have developed significantly. While both models are important, a humanist educational approach to prevention has stronger potential to reduce bullying incidents. In addition, a comprehensive holistic approach was found which includes humanist, sociological, participatory and psychotherapeutic educational aspects through dhikr. These findings provide practical insights for stakeholders to improve anti-bullying curricula and develop intervention strategies that are more sensitive to the cultural and religious context in Islamic boarding schools.

The Catalytic Role of Soft Cities in Urban Development Systems

In the context of Industry 4.0, the development of cities worldwide has shifted from large-scale industrialization towards intelligent and sustainable growth. Contemporary urban researchers classify urban systems into three categories: hard cities, soft cities, and resilient cities. Hard cities refer to the physical framework and infrastructure of urban spaces, while soft cities embrace the art ,cultural, civilized, aesthetic, and humanistic aspects of urban life. Resilient cities, on the other hand, embody the plasticity necessary for sustainable development. This paper will utilize case study methodology and comparative research to analyze the positive effects and catalytic impact of the development of soft urban systems on hard cities and resilient cities.

Study on the Actual and Contingent Integration of Traditional Culture into Higher Vocational Education

By analyzing the historical and contemporary implications of Chinese excellent traditional culture, we analyze the actual and contingent research on the integration of traditional culture into higher vocational education from three aspects: cognitive concept, curriculum and teaching mode. In terms of cognitive concept, there exists instrumental rationalism that emphasizes pragmatism over spiritual connotation; in terms of curriculum, there exists the problem of shallow content and insufficient credit hours; in terms of teaching mode, there exists the deficiency of formalism and lack of teachers. Based on this, from the contingent level, it is proposed to adhere to the people-oriented, top-level design of curriculum ideology and politics; to integrate the combination of excellent traditional culture and professional connotation into the curriculum system; to strengthen the construction of teachers, and to innovate the teaching pedagogy in terms of the teaching purpose, content, implementation, methodology, and evaluation, and other measures. Ultimately, the aim is to achieve a balanced and appropriate development of humanistic and professional aspects of vocational education.

Unveiling the impact of corporate humanistic responsibility on sustainable employee well‐being: Exploring perceived support and shared experiences

AbstractThe significance of employee well‐being within corporate social responsibility (CSR) is widely acknowledged. However, while CSR often emphasizes its societal dimension, its humanistic aspect frequently remains in the background, with limited exploration of its connection to employee well‐being from this perspective. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the role of corporate humanistic responsibility (CHR) in enhancing employee well‐being, focusing on its influence through perceived organizational support (POS) and homogeneous experiences (HEs), employing an emerging‐enabling process approach. Data were gathered from 236 employees across 70 multinational corporations through a two‐time point survey. The findings indicate that both POS and HE positively mediate the relationship between CHR, life well‐being, and psychological well‐being. However, the sequential mediation did not yield significant impacts on workplace well‐being. The study concludes by discussing the findings, theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future studies. Through this exploration, a deeper understanding of how CHR can enhance employee well‐being from a humanistic perspective is attained, offering valuable insights for academia and corporate sustainability endeavors.

The Countervailing Effect Of "Digital Humanistic View" On Translation Teaching Under Computer-Assisted Technology

"Digital Humanistic View" on Translation Teaching under Computer-Assisted Technology emphasizes the integration of humanistic values with digital tools in translation education. This approach recognizes the importance of technology in enhancing translation teaching and learning experiences while also emphasizing the significance of human creativity, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. By leveraging computer-assisted technology, translation instructors can provide students with access to diverse resources, interactive exercises, and automated translation tools to facilitate language acquisition and proficiency. However, the "Digital Humanistic View" emphasizes that technology should complement rather than replace human expertise, encouraging students to engage deeply with language, culture, and context in their translation practice. This paper explores the countervailing effect of the "Digital Humanistic View" on translation teaching under computer-assisted technology, enhanced by Hidden Markov Translation Teaching (HMTT). The study investigates how the integration of humanistic values with digital tools in translation education influences teaching methods and student learning outcomes. Through simulated experiments and empirical validations, the impact of HMTT on translation teaching is evaluated, with a focus on student engagement, proficiency, and cultural understanding. Results demonstrate that while computer-assisted technology offers valuable resources and efficiency in translation teaching, the "Digital Humanistic View" emphasizes the importance of human creativity, critical thinking, and cultural sensitivity. Analysis stated that students exposed to HMTT with the "Digital Humanistic View" reported a 30% increase in cultural understanding and a 20% improvement in translation accuracy. Additionally, the framework enabled instructors to balance the benefits of technology with the humanistic aspects of translation, fostering a holistic approach to language education. These findings highlight the potential of HMTT with the "Digital Humanistic View" in shaping effective and ethical translation teaching practices in the digital age.

Student-Centered Assessment Research on Holographic Learning Paradigm Based on Intelligent Analytic Hierarchy Process in Teaching of Bridge Engineering Course

As the core course of civil engineering, the teaching quality of bridge engineering and the learning effectiveness of students are crucial for the construction of bridge engineering. The traditional teaching of bridge engineering courses tends to be teacher-centered, with learning as a supplement, and therefore is commonly referred to as teacher-centered. This article analyzes the drawbacks of the teacher-centered teaching model and proposes a student-centered holographic teaching method in the teaching practice of bridge engineering courses. By reconstructing the learning content and constructing a holographic information field from a comprehensive perspective of digital, physical, and humanistic aspects, a teacher–student learning community guided by teachers and deeply participated in by students is established. From the perspective of integrating life experience, professional knowledge cognition, and engineering philosophy thinking, the learning effect of students is made high order, innovative, and challenging. The improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to evaluate the student-centered holographic teaching concept, and the results showed that adopting a multidimensional and multi-level holographic teaching method has great practical significance in promoting the establishment of student knowledge systems and the development of diversity.

Tickling the heart: integrating social emotional learning into medical education to cultivate empathetic, resilient, and holistically developed physicians.

Advancements in technology have improved healthcare quality but shifted the focus to efficiency, negatively impacting patient- doctor relationships. This study proposes integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into medical education to address this issue. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is based on social learning theory and has a focus on emotion management, stress management, empathy, and social skills. Through SEL, students can develop social and emotional skills by observing, interacting with, and imitating others. Incorporating SEL into medical education would ensure that physicians develop the social and emotional skills necessary to form positive relationships with patients and to cope with the emotional demands of medical work. SEL comprises six domains, namely, the cognitive, emotion, social, values, perspective, and identity domains. These six domains are closely related to the six core competencies the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) indicated every doctor should possess, which indicates that the domains of SEL are highly relevant within the context of medical education. Furthermore, SEL can lead to the development of empathy, which can improve physicians' ability to understand patients' perspectives and emotions, and resilience, which can enable physicians to more effectively cope with the demands of their work, and it can lead to holistic development, with doctors gaining an understanding of both the technical and humanistic aspects of their work. Incorporating SEL in medical education would enable doctors to develop key social and emotional skills that would improve their ability to provide holistic medical services and therefore would improve overall medical systems.

О двух эпизодах полемики газеты «Речь» с «Новым временем»: литература между этикой и религией

The article considers the letters of V.P. Burenin, A.S. Suvorin and newspaper articles to investigate two episodes of a debate between the newspapers “Rech” and “Novoye vremya” in 1906 and 1911 regarding antisemitism. It is shown that the literary section of “Rech” was, at first, only discovering its own voice and attitude to “Novoye vremya”’s publications. In his response to S.I. Smirnova’s feuilleton “Black Hundred” (1906), A.S. Izgoev attributed her justification of the pogromists to her deceitfulness and loyalty to the authorities. When A.S. Suvorin’s newspaper published an antisemitic piece in 1911, signed by A. St-n [A.A. Stolypin], it caused a public protest by P.S. Solovyova, Z.N. Gippius, D.V. Filosofov and D.S. Merezhkovsky, who described antisemitism as offensive to the dignity of the Russian people. The protest resulted in an exchange of articles, where M.O. Menshikov asserted the futility of the intelligentsia’s struggle against public outrage, while Merezhkovsky claimed the anti-Christian nature of antisemitism. His article “Nationalism and religion” presented the articles of “Novoye vremya” as an example of belligerent nihilism and atheism. The literary section of “Rech” refined its stance on the publications of “Novoye vremya” over time: initially it had a general political nature, assuming a humanistic aspect by the beginning of the 1910s. The writers participating in “Rech” stood up for a discriminated social group and publicly admitted responsibility for its persecution.

직관주의 수학 및 고전 수학 관점에 따른 교과서의 귀류법 증명에서 무리수 √2의 존재성 문제

Intuitionistic mathematics philosophy, which distanced itself from classical mathematics, takes the view that mathematical objects are constructed by the human mind, like constructivism, which has been discussed in mathematics education. This paper aims to analyze the content of school mathematics and obtain educational implications based on a discussion of central issues in intuitionistic mathematics. Concerning the proof by contradiction, which can reveal the difference between intuitionistic mathematics and classical mathematics, among the expressions of the proposition presented as an example of the proof by contradiction in textbooks, in ‘√2 is not a rational number’, contrast to ‘√2 is an irrational number’, avoided a mention about its existence as an irrational number. With this background, we examined the issues of intuitionistic mathematical philosophy, focusing on the existence of mathematical objects, and based on this, we analyzed the textbook's related proofs by contradiction in terms of the existence of √2 as an irrational number. This analysis found that the perspective of intuitionistic mathematics permeates the expression and the proof which do not mention and avoid the existence of √2 as an irrational number. Based on the above, we discussed the reflection on the existence of mathematical objects in school mathematics and the educational value of mathematics from a humanistic aspect.

Perception of modern technologies by the older generation: comparative analysis

This article discusses the empirical research results devoted to the study of the older generation attitude to modern technologies: fears, expectations, and motivation to use such technologies. The obtained results are interpreted through a humanistic paradigm, in which technologies are considered as a tool for realising human potential, in particular, the potential of the older age group. In the course of the study, a comparative analysis was conducted by gender and age groups. The main conclusions drawn from the scientific work results are as follows. Firstly, it is the older generation that assumes the role of “technological optimists”, unlike younger and middle-aged people who have more concerns about the development of information technology. This applies both to everyday life and to the national problems of the increment of scientific knowledge. Secondly, the older generation noticeably need the humanistic aspect of technology more. This includes distrust of full automation, for example, driverless cars, as well as the need for a tutor and mentor when mastering new technologies. At the same time, it is the elderly generation that expresses the greatest trust in people around them. Thirdly, in many respects, the older generation has more similarities in their expectations and preferences with the younger age group than with those who are closer to them in age.

A Review of Current Approaches to Evaluating and Reimbursing New Medicines in a Subset of OECD Countries.

The aim of this study was to review the current evaluation and funding processes for new drugs in different developed countries, to provide a comparative framework with detailed, homogeneous, and up-to-date information. Scientific publications, reports and websites were reviewed between July and December 2021 using PubMed, Google Scholar, and grey literature sources. The main items searched were actors and processes, including timelines, characteristics of clinical and economic evaluations, participation of stakeholders, elements of price and reimbursement decisions, cost-effectiveness thresholds and specific funds. The analysed 13 countries were Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, South Korea, Spain and Sweden. Eight countries perform the assessment process separated from the pricing decision. Countries measure each drug's added therapeutic value through multi-attribute value scales, algorithms, non-prescriptive lists of criteria, or quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Health technology assessment (HTA) methodologies differ in their outcome measures, elicitation techniques, comparators, and perspectives. The criteria used for pricing and reimbursement include humanistic, clinical, and economic aspects. Only Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Canada and Portugal use explicit efficiency thresholds. Health care professionals participate in all assessment committees, and patients are becoming increasingly involved in most countries. The official time from marketing authorisation to the completion of the evaluation and pricing processes varied from 126 to 540 days. Most analysed countries show a trend towards value-based approaches that consider value for money to society, but also other economic, clinical, and humanistic criteria. Good practices included robustness, transparency, independence, and participation.
