Early Effects of Information Revolution Interventions on Health Information System Performance in Ethiopia.

Health information systems (HISs) are essential to a country's health system as they provide critical support to health policymaking, management, financing, and service delivery. A well-functioning HIS should produce timely and reliable data that are available and easily accessible to decision-makers throughout the health system. Ethiopia has transitioned from a fragmented, paper-based health management information system (HMIS) to a harmonized, digital system used at points of collection and service delivery.In 2016, the Federal Ministry of Health (MOH) launched the Information Revolution (IR), a transformative agenda aimed at enhancing the culture of data use, scaling priority HIS tools and systems, and strengthening HIS governance. Between 2016 and 2022, the MOH, Data Use Partnership, and other partners implemented a series of IR interventions that supported this agenda. These interventions included deploying and harmonizing digital HIS systems; strengthening HIS leadership, coordination, and governance; implementing the IR pathway strategy; enhancing capacity through supportive supervision, mentorship, and training; and improving performance monitoring teams. This article aims to synthesize the key HIS interventions implemented in Ethiopia as part of the IR and document the effects of these interventions on HIS performance.Early studies indicate promising improvements in HIS performance across health facilities in Ethiopia. However, challenges remain. To ensure sustainable progress, it is essential to continue addressing key challenges, such as system interoperability, HIS workforce, and capacity for data use at all levels. By building on the successes of the first Health Sector Transformation Plan and addressing these gaps, Ethiopia can advance its vision of a robust, data-driven health system capable of improving health outcomes and driving evidence-based decision-making.

Smart Factory Operation Management System and Innovation in the Era of Smart Manufacturing

This study is dedicated to the innovative research of smart factory operation management systems in the era of smart manufacturing. Against the backdrop of the rapid evolution of the information revolution, smart manufacturing, represented by a new generation of information technologies such as mobile Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence, is rapidly emerging. As an information-physical fusion system, smart factories interpenetrate physical and virtual resources by interweaving multi-scale production systems, forming an open, complex giant system with multiple levels and dimensions. It is found that smart factories face a complex and variable structure, and their production and operations involve a large number of cross-domain, cross-industry, and cross-region manufacturing resources, requiring the establishment of a new operation management system framework and breakthroughs in key theories and methods. This study provides comprehensive and in-depth theoretical and technical support for constructing a smart factory operation management system. It lays the foundation for the smart upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

The changing roles of scientific journals.

After centuries of relative stability, the scientific publishing world has undergone tremendous disruption and change during the first decades of the 21st century. The causes for disruption can be traced to the information revolution, which brought such benefits as rapid publication, greater connectivity, and ready access to large databases, along with less desirable practices including image manipulation, plagiarism, and other ethical transgressions. The information revolution has driven the proliferation of journals, expansion of for-profit academic publishing, and empowerment of the open-access movement, each of which has exerted new financial pressures on traditional publishing models. As journals became the focal point for ethical concerns in science, they have adapted by increasing the scope of their duties, which now include archiving of data, enforcement of good practices, establishment of standards for rigor, and training the next generation of reviewers and editors. Here, we consider the seismic changes occurring in scientific publishing and place them into the context of a rapidly changing landscape of scientific and publishing norms.

Evolution and palaeoenvironmental migration of a Cambrian undermat miner

Microbial mats sealed the sea bottom, becoming the food supply of many early metazoans, which exploited this resource in multiple ways during the late Ediacaran and earliest Cambrian. The onset of highly penetrative bioturbation in shallow-marine environments later in the early Cambrian removed this seal, resulting in the protracted restriction of microbial mats to marginal- and deep-marine environments. In this study, we demonstrate that the undermat-miner trace fossil Oldhamia followed the pattern of matground restriction to deep-marine environments. This is shown by a dataset compilation of Cambrian Oldhamia based on a comprehensive review of the literature with addition of recently discovered Oldhamia in the Cambrian strata of North and South China. Oldhamia is one of the most distinctive and widely distributed ichnogenera in early to middle Cambrian siliciclastic successions. It consists of semi-permanent, very shallow-tier, undermat-miner structures produced by stationary vermiform organisms. Despite its importance, details of Oldhamia ichnodiversity trajectories at ichnospecies level, environmental trends, and potential palaeogeographic patterns have not been explored. Our results demonstrate that Oldhamia displays high diversification in Fortunian shallow- and deep-marine settings, representing a signal of the Cambrian Information Revolution. Oldhamia alata and O. geniculata only occurred in shallow-marine settings, O. curvata and O. flabellata were restricted to the deep sea, and O. antiqua and O. radiata ranged from shallow- to deep-marine settings. The producers of Oldhamia retreated into deep sea since the end of the Fortunian mirroring the restriction of matgrounds as a response of intense bioturbation in shallow-marine deposits during the Agronomic Revolution. The producers of Oldhamia originated from the Iapetus Ocean and then migrated into other oceans, most likely through dispersal assisted by ocean currents.

The Changing Definition Of Human Nature From Traditional to Contemporary Approaches: A View Of Human Nature In The Philosophy Of Informatıon

The issue of what human nature is an important issue for understanding the present and building the future. The place of human beings in the universe as well as their duty, their relationship with society, and their environment has been shaped by the meaning attributed to human nature. This article examines the transformation that the understanding of human nature in traditional philosophy has undergone after the information revolution from the perspective of information philosophy. Information technologies, which have integrated into every area of our lives after the information revolution, has deeply affected our scientific, economic, intellectual, and cultural activities. With the information revolution, human nature has been redefined with its characteristics that participate in design and creation activities, thanks to its interaction abilities, which are information-processing capacities, beyond biological and spiritual characteristics. The understanding of human nature has been addressed in different historical periods since the mythological period. The subject here is to evaluate the understanding of human nature from the traditional to the present. The anthropocentric understanding of humans, traditionally defined in the context of biological, physiological, and spiritual characteristics, is defined in the philosophy of information in a holistic context as an agent with information processing capacity, an informational object. As an entity that carries and processes information, humans are evaluated in the same category as information technologies such as cybernetic systems and artificial intelligence, although they have different characteristics, as informational objects. In addition, this study aims to provide a new perspective to the literature by examining the change process in the understanding of human nature.

Reassembling Post-Soviet Eurasia: Russia’s Leadership Potential in Conditions of External Pressure

The article examines the change in the world order and its geopolitical, geoeconomic, cultural and humanitarian consequences for Eurasian integration. The stages of transformation of the post-Soviet space after the collapse of the USSR are identified. The main risks for the countries of the region are characterized. It is concluded that medium-term challenges for integration processes include three areas: energy transition, information and communication revolution, including the expansion of digital platforms and the development of large language models, as well as the policy of the United States and other Western countries to contain and slow down the technological progress of Russia, China and other non-Western countries. These challenges pose a threat of consolidating post-Soviet Eurasia on the periphery of world development, but at the same time form the prerequisites for accelerating integration. Recommendations are given on the need to strengthen the scientific and technological direction of integration interaction with the leading role of Russia up to its approval as the main one within the EAEU. This process should be built on the basis of mutual benefit and strengthening trust, strengthening humanitarian cooperation between Russia and its partners in Eurasian integration.

Prospects of Artificial Intelligence in the Annihilation of Caste

The masquerading effect of caste has engulfed the social structure in such a way that the myth associated with it has perked up in the ideas of existence, making it a reality regulating day-to-day affairs of interaction. Most of the time, it is considered a functional prerequisite. The stratification associated with it has conformity emanating from the acceptance of the identity, which is not evading even after migrating to foreign countries to participate and be part of the capitalist mode of production. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a creation of the human mind. Caste is also a creation of the human mind. Technology has always paved the way for the betterment of society if used properly. Caste practices have always divided society and contaminated the public sphere with divisive manifestations of their stronghold in influencing social processes and policies. Annihilation of caste was the published work of Dr B. R. Ambedkar in the year 1936, and still the content and the context are seen in society. In the backdrop of this, the article engages with the role (if any) of AI in mitigating the divisions in society. The readers are already aware of the repercussions of the caste system since time immemorial. The diffusion of technology has always been trying to be inclusive, depending on the socio-economic aspect of any society. Industrialization along with the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution has rendered several avenues and opportunities for the so-called lower caste people to come forward and amalgamate themselves with the so-called upper caste people in the socio- economic process. The article discusses the prospect of the annihilation of caste by the influence of AI. It also engages in discussing caste as a main component of individual and community identity, which has become immune to any form of change in society. The article is based on available secondary sources.

At the present stage of Russia’s development in the prevailing historical conditions, a period of deep conceptual transformations has begun, measures are being taken to free it from its continued dependence on crisis global processes, from the globalism policy of developed imperialist countries. Today, after three periods of permanent systemic crisis, through which Russia went from the early 80s to the early 2000s, the country is emerging from this dependence, returning to its mental ideological and cultural foundations, to state-political, economic, scientific, technical and technological sovereignty, to the status of a world power, renewed civilization, towards the consolidation of society. This period is characterized as a period of transformation and new modernization of society. The article, based on new approaches and methods of a comprehensive historical, sociological and formational-civilizational analysis of the problems of society’s development, examines the issues of the new modernization of society that has begun, analyzes and evaluates the persistent manifestations of the systemic crisis, issues of implementing an innovative anti-crisis management strategy, strategic planning and strategic management. Possible forecasts and alternatives for social development are considered. These processes require a clear, meaningful choice and implementation of a long-term strategy for the dynamic, innovative development of knowledge-intensive sectors of the economy, labor productivity growth, production recovery based on new reindustrialization and the industrial revolution, the development and implementation of achievements of the fifth technological order, scientific, technical, technological, information revolution, the formation of new scientific, human resources, including in the areas of governance of society and the state, ensuring comprehensive security and sovereignty of society and the state, regulatory support for these processes. This implies the choice of a new socio-economic, formational and civilizational model for further progressive development, taking into account positive domestic and foreign experience, and the corresponding ideological basis for these transformations. All this is becoming an urgent issue for the entire spectrum of social and social sciences, for educational practices.

The Development of Human Resources in Information Technology in Vietnam from 2006 to 2020

This article aims to shed light on the development of Vietnam's information technology human resources between 2006 and 2020 by analyzing the guidelines and policies set by the Communist Party and the Government of Vietnam, as well as their training activities, talent attraction, compensation and international cooperation policies. Information technology (IT) and IT human resources play a crucial role in Vietnam's socio-economic development, particularly in the rapidly evolving context of the information and digital revolutions. Since 2006, as Vietnam entered a phase of industrialization and modernization tied to the growth of a knowledge-based economy, the Party and the government have increasingly recognized the importance of applying and developing IT across all fields. In this regard, IT human resources are key to promoting the role of information technology in the country’s development strategy. Recently, Vietnam has emerged as a significant player in the global IT industry but workforce shortages have challenged the country’s long-term objective of becoming a tech hub in Southeast Asia.

Digital Revolution and Artificial Intelligence as Challenges for Today/Rewolucja cyfrowa i sztuczna inteligencja jako wyzwania współczesności

This article addresses the social impact of the ongoing digital revolution through a critical analysis of the literature on the subject. The aim is to understand the dynamics of change, which is key to dealing with the complexities of the digital age and realising its potential for sustainable development. The information revolution and artificial intelligence pose significant challenges to modern society by marking a profound transformation through self-organising social changes that disrupt existing norms. The digital age has revolutionized information systems, much like Gutenberg's invention of movable-type printing press. While it enables scientific and economic progress, the information revolution raises ethical, moral and legal concerns. Social media have become ”weapons” in a hybrid conflict, where the intangible battleground is human cognitive systems.

Open access publishing and quantum game theory under modified EWL scheme

Game theory deals with the strategies of rational players to obtain the best possible outcomes for a player in a game. Quantum game theory is an extension of classical game theory, where players can adopt quantum strategies to maximize their payoff advantage. In quantum game theory, we have two prominent quantization schemes, namely the Eisert Wilkens-Lewenstein (EWL) scheme and the Marinatto Weber (MW) scheme. Recently, modified EWL scheme is being used to study the game dynamics. In the era of digital information revolution, scientists have unrestricted access to most of the scientific information. Different scientific disciplines prefer different paths of publication either open access or traditional. Taking this as a framework, we model an open-access game played by scientists with open access and traditional publishing as their strategies. In this work, we study these publication patterns using the quantum game theory approach under the modified EWL quantization scheme. Specifically, we investigate the role of entangling operators and players’ strategies in maximizing the payoff (reputation) for the scientists playing in the open-access game.

Path Forward: Materials Data Modernization for ASME Codes and Standards in the Artificial Intelligence Era

Abstract Development of the ASME Materials Properties Database was initiated in the early 2010s to support the ASME Codes and Standards. As information technologies advance at an accelerated pace with the artificial intelligence era on the horizon, the ASME Materials Properties Database must be further modernized from a database to a knowledgebase to ride the wave of digital information revolution and effectively support the ASME Codes and Standards in the new era. This paper is intended to provide an overview of the ASME Materials Properties Database and discuss a roadmap for its future development to facilitate understanding of and participation from different sectors of the Codes and Standards community. It first reviews the basic concepts of data, information, knowledge, database, and database system as well as the pros and cons in different types of data management and then discusses the path forward for a desired evolution of the database into a self-explanatory and machine-readable knowledgebase that is consistent with human cognitive processes for the Codes and Standards development and, furthermore, provides resources for data processing and analysis to reach an eventual goal of streamlining the Codes and Standards development from the initial inquiry, throughout data submission, analysis, …, to Codes and Standards rule establishment for final publication.

DEMOGRAPHIC AND PSYCHOGRAPHIC STUDY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS OF RURAL CONSUMERS IN POST LIBERALISATION ERA

The economic situation of rural residents has changed since economic liberalization, and they are no longer considered impoverished individuals. Rural residents income has increased significantly during the past few years. The information revolution and rural residents rising educational levels have made them aware of many of the newest product offerings. Cultural disparities with their urban counterparts began to fade in a market that was semi-homogeneous for many durable and non-durable businesses. Reduce and attitude had significantly shifted. Teenagers from rural areas try to act like their metropolitan counterparts. A significant shift in lifestyle has occurred, with a growing number of people becoming self-conscious. Social class lines become less distinct. Rural consumers could now easily get commodities thanks to the extensive distribution network of various businesses, which contributed to the rise of rural consumerism. In summary, the paper covers various psychographic and demographic studies as well as an analysis of rural customers demand throughout the post-liberalization era. KEY WORDS: Demand Analysis, Economic Liberalization, psychographic and demographic studies, Rural Consumer

Model for motivating learners with personalized learning objects in a hypermedia adaptive learning system

<span lang="EN-US">A number of weaknesses were demonstrated in the E-learning platforms during the Covid-19 pandemic despite the efforts invested. This has negatively influenced learners' motivation and consequently their performance. With the proliferation of technology and the revolution of information and communication technologies (ICT), learning objects have become new epitomes widely used, accessible, and implemented with educational resources and technological support. The integration of learning objects into E-learning has enhanced educational progress, but during critical periods, it is crucial to ensure pedagogical continuity and learner motivation. Based on this observation, we will propose architecture of a personalized learning object model in the context of an adaptive hypermedia learning system (AHS). The objective of our model is to increase the motivation factor which is a determining element in the success of E-learning, our model aims to improve the performance of the learners in order to avoid the abounding of learning and to promote the attendance of the learners. This will be useful later for any design or development of learning objects in hypermedia learning systems that are adaptive to the needs of the learners and in line with their preferences and profiles throughout the learning process offered by the system. </span>

The Role of E-Learning in teaching the Arabic language to non- native speakers

After the information revolution that occurred in the Western world, and the developments in all fields, especially in the field of education and e-learning, from an integrated system based on the effective employment of information and communication technology in the teaching and learning processes through an environment rich in computer and Internet applications, the community and the learner were able to access information sources and learning at any time and place, in a way that achieves mutual interaction between the elements of the system and the surrounding environment. After the occurrence of the phenomenon of Covid 19, it led to a major interruption in all educational systems that had never happened before, and the disruption or complete cessation of all joints of life in light of this mysterious virus that paralyzed the important joints in life, health and education, as this phenomenon stimulated the element of innovation, which is a human habit, so education did not stop under these circumstances, but was directed towards distance education, and the work of workshops and seminars using information and communication technology, employing this technology to transfer skills Teaching Arabic, especially to non-native speakers. The most important thing that works on the success of the process of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers is the contribution of language teachers in employing all visual and audio means and electronic platforms that allow full knowledge to reach all learners.
