The Use of EMOJIS in Online Human Sex Trafficking Ads

Technology has dramatically changed the way criminals conduct their illicit activities. Specifically, the Internet has become a major facilitator of online human sex trafficking. Traffickers are using these technologies to market their victims which presents new challenges for efforts to combat sex trafficking. This study used knowledge management principles and natural language processing methods to develop an improved ontology of online sex trafficking ads. The language of these ads is constantly evolving; therefore, this study explored the role of a new type of indicator, emojis, to the ontology of human trafficking indicators.

Do open government data (OGD) portals show signs of knowledge management (KM) practices?: an empirical investigation

ABSTRACT Open Government Data (OGD) is a build-up of the data accumulated in the government organisations pertaining to the structural and functional dimensions and it is imperative for OGD to be high-value for facilitating value creation and innovation. The present study purports to provide a launchpad to the aforementioned truism by advancing the concept of Open Government Data Capital (OGDC) resting on the principles of Knowledge Management (KM) given that the high-value OGD can result only with the engagement of the concerned administrative agencies in knowledge sharing for being made accessible for wider use via dedicated web portals. To drive home the arguments, an empirical investigation is conducted with four top-notch countries, viz., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, in terms of the quantitative evaluation of their OGD portals’ quality and inferences are drawn as to how OGDC may be furthered with the provision and maintenance of high-value datasets. Thus, it is shown that the Australian OGD portal is qualitatively robust and leads in terms of OGDC which may be beefed up with more integration of the KM practices in terms of the inter-governmental agencies’ coordination and the other countries are lagging behind in terms of the quality parameters.

A study on the effects of college students' knowledge-sharing behavior on group performance and individual social status.

Universities, as typical knowledge-based organizations, engage in various knowledge management activities, including knowledge acquisition, storage, application, and innovation. This research focuses on applying organizational knowledge management principles to college student groups in universities, aiming to explore the current state of knowledge-sharing behaviors within these groups and investigate the relationship between group performance, individual social status, and knowledge-sharing behaviors. A sample of 497 college students from six universities in China was randomly selected, and an econometric analysis using structural equation modeling was conducted with SPSS21.0 and AMOS21.0 to examine their knowledge-sharing behaviors, individual social status, and group performance. The findings reveal that individual knowledge-sharing behavior significantly influences the knowledge sharing behavior of others and the recognition received by the sharer. Moreover, the knowledge-sharing behavior of others positively contributes to group performance, while recognition from others enhances the social status of the sharer. Furthermore, the knowledge-sharing behaviors of others mediate the relationship between individual knowledge-sharing behaviors and group performance, while others' recognition of the sharer mediates the relationship between individual knowledge-sharing behaviors and the sharer's social status. This study provides valuable theoretical guidance for organizational knowledge management and the development of college students' learning abilities, establishing a crucial foundation for comprehensive, scientific, and standardized student management. Overall, this research contributes to understanding the dynamics of knowledge sharing among college students and highlights the importance of incorporating knowledge management principles in educational settings. The findings underscore the positive impact of knowledge sharing on group performance and individual social status, emphasizing the need for effective knowledge sharing practices to enhance student management in higher education institutions.

Supporting the implementation of AI in business communication: the role of knowledge management

PurposeAlthough the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been estimated to be up to 56% in the last decade, the adoption rate of AI for communication activities is still low. The lack of in-depth literature on the subject, and the limited sharing of the experience gained by companies, limits the creation, dissemination and consolidation of understanding in this area. The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of the absence of knowledge, identification, skills development and introduction of an innovation (such as the AI in the business communication) in the company, with the principles of knowledge management (KM).Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts the perspective of KM to provide guidelines for the definition of standards and facilitate the introduction of AI in business communication.FindingsTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to relate the perspectives of business communication, AI and KM, activating a virtuous circle between KM and AI. At the centre of the proposed model are people, processes and technologies, based on which KM represents the ideal perspective to define the implementation of AI. This is primarily from the perspective of augmented intelligence, owing to the inability of AI to completely replace humans in the business communication processes, as it lacks, among others, emotional intelligence.Research limitations/implicationsThis study finds in KM a possible strategy to solve the problems faced so far in applying AI in business communication processes, providing a model capable of transforming and adapting itself to the context, thanks to the open approach.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by linking the introduction of emerging technology (AI) in a specific process, such as business communication, from the KM perspective.

Knowledge Management Tools and Practices for Successful Implementation in Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria

Knowledge Management (KM) practices have existed for long in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); although little attention has been given to successful implementation of KM practices as a means of gaining competitive edge and sustainable development. In view of this, this paper discusses knowledge management tools and practices for successful implementation in HEIs in Nigeria. The methodology adopted for this study was a literature search spanning across several studies on KM and their extent of application in HEIs. This paper further discusses elements of KM as applicable to HEIs, KM tools that are required for successful implementation of KM; and the challenges faced by HEIs in applying and sustaining KM principles in their day to day operations and work processes. Policy recommendations were equally made to improving the implementation of KM in HEIs. It was concluded that leadership of HEIs along with Government should show more commitment in the area of funding, procurement of infrastructures and organizing sensitization programmes that would entrench KM culture and sustain its practices.

Supporting the teachers’ communities with innovative initiations – The Future of Learning Concept

The concept of the Future of Learning Initiative (FLI) is about supporting everyday pedagogical practice with digital tools and collaborative learning for teachers. In this space, teachers collaborate with other teachers, learn from one another and reflect on their own practices together, and for this process, our organisation provides a thoroughly planned collaborative environment, methodology and know-how. We, at the Tempus Public Foundation (TPF) believe that pedagogy will become even more effective not by digital tools but by educators' thinking, the key to change is always the educators themselves and this is confirmed by all major international research as well as policy recommendations (EU, OECD, etc.). Approaching the FLI that has online services, we can say that the open online courses and online services have brought both the democratisation of adult education and the expansion of knowledge sharing opportunities. In addition to the many criticism of the open online content, it can certainly be said that online courses such as The Future of Learning MOOC have made a significant and remarkable contribution to the democratisation of adult education by sharing achievable learning outcomes with the wider public, with the key element of accessibility. With the Future of Learning Initiative, we have been able to raise knowledge management principles as well as practices that have been accumulated for more than a decade to a European level, and also set the goal of further internationalising the Future of Learning Initiative. In this summarising article we are going to introduce the FLI initiative and the FLI MOOC to the audience with details of the MOOC, the concept and methodology. The results of the different questionnaires, the theoretical background, and the measurements of the efficiency of the different tasks and assignments will be published in several different articles in the upcoming months and years.

Improvement of technology of knowledge management system development and introduction at the enterprise

Introduction. Today, in the era of the intellectualization of the economy, knowledge management plays an important role in building an effective strategy for the enterprise. The effective application of the knowledge management system at the enterprise reduces business risks, improves the speed and quality of decision-making processes, promotes innovative activity, and leads to an increase in the competitiveness of the enterprise. By applying an effective knowledge management system, an enterprise can achieve significant savings of resources, which is difficult to achieve using traditional management models and methods. The purpose of the paper is to research and analyze the knowledge management system of the enterprise, as well as to formulate recommendations for the development of effective technology for implementing the knowledge management system at the enterprise. Results. The knowledge management system of the enterprise today occupies a central place in the research of many domestic and foreign scientists. Its main elements are objects, subjects of knowledge, knowledge management goals and tasks, knowledge management processes, knowledge management functions and principles, approaches to knowledge management, as well as knowledge management culture. To improve the process of development and implementation of the knowledge management system at the enterprise, the authors proposed a recommended technology that consists of 9 consecutive stages, the priority of which are: identification of the business bottlenecks, analysis of the knowledge available at the enterprise, development of the enterprise’s knowledge management strategy, creation of a department at the enterprise that will be responsible for knowledge management, as well as the development of knowledge management tools. Conclusion. Implementation and application of the recommended technology for the development and implementation of the knowledge management system will allow the enterprise to clearly organize the knowledge management system and thus improve the efficiency of operations and achieve resource savings that cannot be achieved using traditional management mechanisms.

Relating Organizational Knowledge with ISO 9001: 2015: An Empirical Approach

In a business market environment highly marked by competition, standardisation has proven distinctive in answering continuous challenges. Thus, organisations have been investing in obtaining ISO certifications, being "ISO 9001 – Quality Management System" among the most popular. The present empirical study aims to discover what is, in the opinion of managers expressed by their answers to the questionnaire, the relationship between the implementation of Knowledge Management practices, the Quality System and Organizational Performance while verifying if the introduction of Knowledge Management principles in the Standard ISO 9001 has affected the company's overall organisational performance. The proposed analysis methodology is supported by applying a questionnaire to 36 Portuguese Small and Medium Enterprises sample. The investigation results allowed us to infer that, in the managers' opinion expressed by the answer to the questionnaire, Knowledge Management acts as a mediator between the Quality System and performance while not directly influencing organisational performance. Within the companies studied, holders of the certification ISO 9001, through the application of Knowledge Management practices, show improvements in the management of the Quality System, with a consequent increase in organisational performance.

I-CLIMATE: a "clinical climate informatics" action framework to reduce environmental pollution from healthcare.

Addressing environmental pollution and climate change is one of the biggest sociotechnical challenges of our time. While information technology has led to improvements in healthcare, it has also contributed to increased energy usage, destructive natural resource extraction, piles of e-waste, and increased greenhouse gases. We introduce a framework "Information technology-enabled Clinical cLimate InforMAtics acTions for the Environment" (i-CLIMATE) to illustrate how clinical informatics can help reduce healthcare's environmental pollution and climate-related impacts using 5 actionable components: (1) create a circular economy for health IT, (2) reduce energy consumption through smarter use of health IT, (3) support more environmentally friendly decision-making by clinicians and health administrators, (4) mobilize healthcare workforce environmental stewardship through informatics, and (5) Inform policies and regulations for change. We define Clinical Climate Informatics as a field that applies data, information, and knowledge management principles to operationalize components of the i-CLIMATE Framework.

Effect of Training on Organic Waste Management in Neighborhoods of Pejanggik, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara

Garbage is solid waste consisting of organic and inorganic substances that outlived their usefulness and must be adequately managed to prevent environmental harm. The amount and types of waste are strongly influenced by the lifestyle and the type of materials we consume, and increasing household income cause an increase in the variety of waste generated. Handling and managing organic waste requires community involvement and successful household organic waste management, contributing significantly to the zero waste program. This study aims to measure the effect of waste management training on knowledge and principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling in waste management. The study was conducted from April to June 2021 in the neighborhoods around Pejanggik, Mataram village, West Nusa Tenggara province. It is a pre-experimental study involving 50 households to analyze the effects of the waste management training provided using a one-group pretest-posttest method. Before the training, knowledge and waste management principles were 22 of 50 respondents and 32 of 50 respondents, respectively. After the provision of training, the increase in knowledge and waste management principles reached 50 of 50 respondents. In conclusion, the training activity shows increased knowledge and waste management principles in households involved. Waste processing with reduce, reuse, and recycle principles can help overcome household waste problems and convert waste into products with increased economic value. Therefore, we recommend that periodic community-based waste management training involving households be held to overcome increased organic waste in households.

Knowledge Management as A Catalyst for Business Process Digitalisation

Abstract: Digital transformations challenge enterprises' adaptability, development, technology integration, and resilience to evolve their business models. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are increasingly characterised by a pervasive role of business digitalisation redefining organisations' management of customer experience efficiencies. It redefines value creation strategies. This paper argues that enterprises should rethink the creation and delivery of value to their customers, not based on technologies but on knowledge management strategies instead. As technologies transform business processes, KM is a catalyst in the evolving nature, knowledge assets, and transformation preparedness of enterprises' value drivers. Integrating Osterwalder and Pigneur's Business Model Canvas, Parmar et al.'s five patterns for value creation, and Goncalves' cloud enterprise transcoding proxy, a few cases are briefly discussed. Digital transformation drivers and the role of KM for strategic relevance are underlined through digitalised knowledge processes and customer-centric global marketing strategies to access and manage resources, core competencies, and dynamic capabilities. This research raises awareness of adopting KM as a catalyst for digital business transformation's role as a strategy to respond to the acceleration of digitalization during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, along with knowledge management principles. Keywords: Knowledge management, Digital transformation, Digital technologies, Deep learning, Digital wallets, COVID-19

Production Management: Analyzing the alignment of knowledge management with production management

The development of new information in the field of project management has had a significant effect on the manufacturing industry. As a result, it is critical that service development procedures be optimized in every project. The rise in cement manufacturing production was supposed to be accomplished through the utilization of knowledge management principles and knowledge management as a mediator, which was the purpose of this research. The research was carried out across a number of different cement-producing sites in the Kurdistan area of Iraq. The researchers looked at four different aspects of knowledge management in order to determine how much production could be increased by using knowledge management. These aspects were knowledge creation, knowledge storage management, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application, with knowledge management acting as a mediator. The researchers utilized a quantitative research methodology in the form of a survey in order to carry out the current analysis that is being presented. The questionnaire was handed out in a randomized fashion to around one hundred and forty administrative staff members working for a variety of cement production enterprises in the Kurdistan area. However, the researchers did manage to gather a total of 128 completed surveys. The study employed hierarchical multiple regression analysis as well as the Sobel test in order to evaluate the research hypotheses that had been created. According to the findings, each component of knowledge management—knowledge creation, knowledge storage development, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application—had a distinct and significant positive relationship with increased production at carpet manufacturers in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. This was the case regardless of which component of knowledge management was examined. In addition, the findings indicated that all knowledge management concepts with a mediator (a project management development program) had an indirect positive and significant relationship with increased production at cement manufacturing facilities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The mediator in this case was the project management development program.
