Preparation of the Digital Elevation Model using open source Geographic Information Systems tools for 3D prints

Abstract The presentation of landforms in two-dimensional graphics may not always be clear and understandable to every viewer. The presentation of landforms, as well as other types of characteristics and issues in three-dimensional space can bring many advantages in the process of better understanding of the surrounding reality. The primary purpose of this research is to put forward a simple scheme, accessible to any Geographic Information Systems user, for generating 3D physical terrain models for any area of the Earth. The presented scheme can be used anywhere in the world, however, for the purpose of illustrating its capabilities, a case study of a selected area – the Tatra Mountain range – was conducted in this paper. As part of the study, a 3D model was developed based on a Digital Elevation Model obtained from an open source, i.e. MapTiler. An indisputable advantage of the study is that the designed process flow in its structure takes into account only generally available tools and software (the model was prepared in the QGIS program). However, a certain limitation is the process of printing itself, which depends on the availability of specialized printing equipment. In this case study, FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology was used for printing, and the model itself was prepared on a Creality Ender 7 printer. The proposed flowchart, on the one hand, unifies and simplifies the process of creating physical 3D models, while on the other hand, it provides opportunities for GIS users and developers to develop the proposed solution.

The Influence of User Involvement and Personal Technical Skills on the Performance of Accounting Information Systems with Work from Home as a Moderator Variable

This research aims to analyze and demonstrate the influence of user involvement and personal technical skills on the performance of the Accounting Information System (AIS), with Work From Home (WFH) as a moderator variable. The study was conducted at the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) South Sulawesi Representative Office. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, and data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The research findings revealed that user involvement and personal technical skills have a positive and significant impact on AIS performance. However, WFH does not have a significant effect or the ability to strengthen user involvement and personal technical skills in relation to AIS performance. The implications of this research underscore the necessity of user involvement during the development phase of accounting information systems. The study emphasizes the need for training to enhance the understanding and technical skills of accounting information system users.

Machine Learning Methods to Increase the Energy Efficiency of Buildings

Predicting a building’s energy consumption plays an important role as it can help assess its energy efficiency, identify and diagnose energy system faults, and reduce costs and improve climate impact. An analysis of current research in the field of ensuring the energy efficiency of buildings, in particular, their energy assessment, considering the types of models under consideration, was carried out. The principles, advantages, limitations, and practical application of the main data-based models are considered in detail, and priority future directions for forecasting the energy efficiency of buildings are highlighted. It is shown that the effectiveness of the methods is different for the main types of models and depends on the following factors: input data and parameters, the type and quality of available data for training, the suitability of the method for a specific type of model, etc. The need to consider the element of uncertainty when forecasting energy consumption due to the impossibility of accurate modeling of meteorological factors and the behavior of residents is emphasized. Therefore, machine learning methods, particularly deep learning-based models, are chosen to represent complex nonlinear input-output relationships, as they show higher performance than statistical time series forecasting methods. The analysis of published works revealed a lack of works describing a comprehensive energy forecasting information system for use in commercial projects. We proposed a new approach to combining semantic modeling and machine learning technologies for the energy management system of smart buildings, using the knowledge system of the semantic model we developed.

Exploring Research and Service Information System Usability by Heuristic Evaluation as a Compelement of System Usability Scale

The Research and Community Service Information System of LPPM University Lancang Kuning is a web-based application designed to facilitate research and community service activities at the university. This study incorporated two methodologies: a descriptive approach with qualitative analysis for heuristic data collection, and the System Usability Scale (SUS) method, employing quantitative analysis. The research process included stages of problem analysis, literature review, data collection, data analysis, and formulating recommendations based on the findings and discussions. The heuristic evaluation, the first method applied, revealed that aspects H1, H3, and H4 scored 1 when rounded, indicating these were merely cosmetic issues not requiring immediate attention unless spare time was available. Conversely, aspects H2, H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, and H10 scored 2 when rounded, categorizing them as minor usability issues needing resolution, albeit with low priority, to prevent potential user difficulties. Recommendations for these seven heuristic aspects scoring 2 encompassed improvements in system information clarity, feedback processes, image utilization, color selection, grammar quality, and writing consistency. The second method, the SUS, indicated that most users demonstrated adequate skills in terms of learnability, efficiency, memorability, error management, and overall satisfaction with their system usage experience.

Assessment of the Effects of Access Control on Reducing Cybercrimes in the Selected Telecommunication Companies in Tanzania

This study specifically aimed to determine the effects of access control on reducing cybercrimes. Since much research has yet to be done to evaluate how privacy, data integrity, and access control affect the overall decline in cybercrimes, this study is conducted to help telecommunication companies employ and strengthen access control measures to safeguard company and customer information. This study employed a quantitative research approach, and the data collected were analysed using regression analysis techniques. Data was collected through questionnaires in a Likert-scaled form and in-depth interviews. The sample size of this study was 199 employees from the selected companies. The data collected was analysed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The findings show that the general correlation between independent and dependent variables is 0.01, whereby specific consideration shows that Access Control (AC) had a correlation of .117, which was significant at .004. The correlation analysis confirms a positive and significant relationship between access control and the reduction of cybercrimes since the p-value was <.005. This study concludes that despite the roles played by the access control mechanisms provided by telecommunication companies, there is a need to enhance both internal and external control measures, such as strengthening the security policies to impose severe sanctions on individuals who try to tamper with the information systems of the telecommunication companies. Hence, this study recommends the provision of more awareness to the user of information systems both within and outside the telecommunication companies because data breaches happen either through internal or external sources; hence, it is essential that training, education, and other means to enhance knowledge about cybercrimes should be implemented.

Trusting information systems in everyday work events – effects on cognitive resources, performance, and well-being

In today’s data-intensive work environments, information systems are crucial for supporting workers. However, workers often do not rely on these systems but resort to workarounds. We argue that trust is essential for workers’ reliance on information systems, positively affecting workers’ cognitive resources, performance, and well-being. Moreover, we argue that the organisational context (accountability, distractions) and user-related factors qualify trust-outcome associations by affecting workers’ trust calibration. In a preregistered study, we asked N = 291 employed users of information systems to re-experience prior everyday usage events (event reconstruction method) and assess event-specific trust in the system, work outcomes, and context conditions. Results confirmed the assumed association between trust in the information system and workers’ ratings of both performance and well-being. Moreover, workers’ technology competence and need for cognition – but not contextual conditions – qualified trust-outcome associations. Our results offer specific suggestions for achieving successful use of information systems at work.

Methodological proposal for the standardization of the Electronic Navigational Chart scheme in the Caribbean Sea

Since the approval of the use of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) as equivalent to paper nautical charts, hydrographic services worldwide began their production following existing cartographic schemes. This paper proposes to standardize ENC production schemes at the regional scale through a regular grid system, which unifies the scale of compilation and cell size by navigational purpose. The implementation of this system requires defining the origin of the grid and facilitates the nomenclature of the ENCs. Additionally, this standardization would help for the harmonized production of ENCs by improving their coverage. The proposed methodology is used to formulate an ENCs scheme in the Caribbean Sea, which is part of the Meso American and Caribbean Sea Regional Hydrographic Commission, in order to show its application and advantages. For this region it is proposed to generate a regular grid scheme with cell sizes and compilation scales (1:K) for Overview, General and Coastal navigational purposes of 24° × 24°, 6° × 6° and 1.5° × 1.5° and 1:3,000, 1:700 and 1:180 respectively, which allows to eliminate irregularities between the ENCs. This proposal contributes to the safety of maritime activities, seeking to enhance the quality of the ENC products in this region and increase trust to Electronic Chart Display and Information System users through enhanced visualization and seamless transition between ENCs of the same compilation scale. Additional serves as input for the modernization of the ENC schemes in the different Regional Hydrographic Commissions of the International Hydrographic Organization.

Age-Dependent User Perception Analysis of Web Application Using Technology Acceptance Model Approach: A Case Study

In the pursuit of technologically advanced governance, the Ministry ABC has integrated technology into daily operations, particularly through web applications like an employee administration information system. However, challenges persist in the implementation of online administration, especially in terms of technology adoption among the older generation. This study employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate the usage of the administrative information system, focusing on System Quality (SQ), Perceived Ease of Use (EU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), and Behavioral Intention (BI). Surveying 147 respondents via questionnaires, the findings reveal that system quality positively influences perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, while unexpectedly establishing a negative relationship between system quality, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intention. These insights hold significance for both theory and practice, reaffirming the crucial roles of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness in shaping behavioral intentions and augmenting the TAM model.

Nurses' Informatics Competency Assessment of Health Information System Usage: A Cross-sectional Survey.

Nurses' informatics competencies are nurses' professional requirements to guarantee the quality of patient care and affect nurses' use of health information systems. The purpose of this survey was to describe nurses' perceptions of their informatics competencies regarding health information system usage. A previously tested web-based questionnaire with multiple-choice questions was sent to nurses whose e-mail address was available through three Finnish Nursing Associations (N = 58 276). A total of 3610 nurses working in Finland responded. Both descriptive and explanatory statistics were used to analyze the data. The three dependent variables "nursing documentation," "digital environment," and "ethics and data protection" were formulated from the data. Nurses' overall informatics competency was good. The "ethics and data protection" competency score was higher than that of "nursing documentation" or "digital environment." Recently graduated nurses and nurses working in outpatient care, virtual hospital, examination, or operation had highest "digital environment" competency score. Health information system experience was associated with "nursing documentation." Nurses are highly qualified health information systems users. However, the competency requirements generated by rapidly expanding digitalization have challenged nurses. It is important to increase educational programs for nurses of how to use digital devices, and how to support patients to use digital services.

INFLUENCE OF USER EXPERIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEM, AND CONSUMER PRODUCT ON CONSUMER LOYALTY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MOBILE APPLICATION

There are various obstacles in the development of fruit and vegetable mobile applications such as bad user experience, unresponsive service, inaccurate information, and products or prices that do not meet consumer expectations. This study analyzes the effect of user experience, information systems, and consumer products consumer loyalty through of fruit and vegetable online shopping mobile applications. This study uses a survey method by collecting data from 100 respondents selected by accidental sampling. The data in this study is analyzed using descriptive analysis and SEM-PLS. The results show that each variable, including user experience, information systems, and consumer products, positively and significantly affects the satisfaction variable. Furthermore, the direct effect of information systems, consumer products, and satisfaction variables on consumer loyalty is also positive and significant. However, the user experience variable has an insignificant effect on loyalty. The most influential variable was satisfaction. Therefore, customer satisfaction must be maintained and improved to achieve higher loyalty. Furthermore, the indirect effect of each variable which includes user experience, information systems, and consumer products, has a positive and significant effect on the loyalty variable through satisfaction as mediating variable. The most significant variable is consumer product. However, the average value of this variable is the lowest compared to the other variables. Therefore, companies need to focus more on maintaining and improving it. This research provides valuable insights for companies in developing mobile applications that can improve user experience, provide relevant information through information systems, and produce quality of consumer products to increase consumer satisfaction and loyalty in purchasing fruit and vegetables.

The Influence of Management Information System Transition on Individual Impact Mediated by Perceived Ease of Use and Usefulness

Objectives: The aim of the research is to reveal how perceived usefulness and ease of use can bridge the gap among the impacts on individuals of information quality, system quality, and service quality.Methodology: This study uses a quantitative method to assess the theoretical model by asking several questions linked to Google Forms. This study utilized a quantitative analysis instrument by SmartPLS software. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling utilizes data analysis. The population of this study were employees at PT KIMI which moved to manufacture tire products in West Java with a total sample of 75 respondents. The data analysis used is the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) by SmartPLS 3.0 software. The initial phase in data analysis is to summarize figures on the respondents' descriptions. The subsequent phase is to gauge the validity and reliability through discriminant validity and reliability tests.Finding: The study results showed that employees' perceived usefulness and ease of use mediate the relationship between information quality, system quality, and individual impact. Conversely, the service quality could not directly influence individual impact through perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use and usefulness serially mediate the relationship between system quality, service quality, and individual impact. Conclusion: The perceived ease of use and usefulness variables can serially mediate the relationship between system quality and service quality on individual impact. Users of information systems will feel a more significant personal impact if perceived usefulness and ease of use are implemented to achieve comfortable working.

Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System use predicting the outcome of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

To evaluate the predictive capability of the pre- and post-pembrolizumab Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) to identify ypT0N0 or ypT≤1N0 response in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) within the PURE-01 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02736266). Patients were staged with bladder multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) before and after treatment (three cycles of pembrolizumab) prior to radical cystectomy (RC). Logistic regression models were used to analyse the pre- and post- pembrolizumab VI-RADS against ypT≤1N0 and ypT0N0 response. The VI-RADS scores were dichotomised between 0 and 3 (0 = no evidence of disease) and 4-5. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) analyses were performed. Comprehensive genomic profiling and transcriptome-wide expression profiling data were matched with the VI-RADS scores. In total, 110 patients underwent centrally reviewed scans (N = 220 mpMRI), treated between February 2017 and July 2020. Both pre- and post-pembrolizumab VI-RADS 0-3 scores were the only significant covariates that predicted the ypT≤1N0 endpoint in multivariable analyses, and the strongest effect was seen with post-pembrolizumab VI-RADS 0-3 predicting the ypT≤1N0 response (P < 0.001). The area under the curve for this model was 0.90. Post-pembrolizumab VI-RADS 0-3 also predicted a longer EFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P = 0.044). The scores of several gene signatures from baseline tumours differed between the pre-pembrolizumab VI-RADS 0-3 and 4-5 categories. Post-pembrolizumab VI-RADS scores are strongly associated with pathological downstaging and survival. VI-RADS scores were also characterised by distinct biomarker features. These results indicate that the VI-RADS is emerging as an important tool for designing next-generation trials for MIBC.
