Realigning Education for Developments in the Institutions of Higher Learning

This paper sought to highlight and discuss the immediate need to realign education for developments in the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL). Through research that has been covered worldwide, education is one of the most important pillars of any country’s development. It is therefore imperative that the education sector needs to be realigned in line with the developments taking place with the modernization of general business to industrial and technical development for the better benefits and outcomes. This realignment for development will be underpinned by highlights and a discussion from Education 1.0 to the present Education 5.0 as a standard for developments in the institutions of higher learning. Education 5.0 is highly rated in terms of its association with the current business needs and integration with the industrial and technological developments. Institutions of higher learning ought to adopt the use of modern industrial and technological revolution like artificial intelligence, robotics and data analytics as they provide an immersive and interactive learning environment that focuses on student development in society and nation at large. The representative sample consisted of ten (10) participants who were selected from two higher learning institutions in Eswatini.

FEATURES OF THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENTERPRISE'S TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM

The modern industrial revolution and the concept of supply chain management have created opportunities for joint use of a complex of technologies that help create more efficient production and distribution systems. Such a system allows at any moment to collect and analyze information about changes in the environment, quickly adapt to them and create additional value in the process of managing supply chains. That is why the issue of digital transformation of transport and logistics systems is relevant. To implement the goals of the article, the following methods were used: information on the state of research in the field of digital transformation of transport and logistics systems was analyzed and synthesized. With the help of a system and information-logical approach, the directions of influence of digital transformation on the studied system are determined. In the course of the research, analytical methods, graphic methods and the synthesis method were also widely used to build a model of the digital platform for the transport and logistics system and to form the process of creating and verifying the project of implementing digital technologies during the transformation. The article further developed the components of the digital platform of the transport-logistics system, which, unlike the existing ones, are assembled into a system and supplemented with elements of insurance and routing. The proposed improvements will make it possible to increase the manageability, certainty, effectiveness and control of the transport and logistics system and its components and harmonize the process of digital transformation. The obtained results, consisting in the development of a digital platform of the enterprise's transport and logistics system and the process of creating and verifying a project for the implementation of digital technologies during the transformation, allow further research on the specification of certain aspects of the digital transformation of the enterprise's transport and logistics system.

Measuring the Unpredictability of Disruptive Change: The Comparison of the Inkjet Printer and Digital Photography

Disruptive innovation has become a core topic for technology management and indeed a central aspect of the modern industrial revolution. Although considerable attention has been devoted to its emergent properties and selection outcomes, less focus has been given to understand how disruption emerges through evolving and complex interactions that occur during that process. To address this shortfall, this article draws on chaos theory to examine the nature of disruptive innovation as a nonlinear dynamic system. Disruptive innovation can be considered nonlinear because it is time-dependent and deviation-absorbing, and it revolves around identifiable types of attractors appearing in a deterministic context or trajectory. To illustrate and advance these ideas, we study inkjet printer and digital photography technologies using patent application data collected from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We employ a nonlinear analysis of the correlation dimension to measure the unpredictability of disruptive change and found that both chosen technologies evolved through a nonlinear dynamic process. Furthermore, in light of chaos theory and by way of comparison, we indicated two types of disruption: high-dimensional and low-dimensional chaos. Implications for innovation theory and business practice are explored herein.

A production scheduling case study solved for Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Additive Manufacturing (AM) represents a pillar of the modern industrial revolution. Its peculiar characteristics make AM largely differ from conventional manufacturing; thus, the approach to the production planning and control must change and be adapted to such technology. While for conventional manufacturing nesting and scheduling decisions are taken at different planning stages, they are both made in daily operations when AM technology is considered. This paper proposes a case study applied to the powder bed fusion process with electron beam (PBF-EB) and involving the problem of scheduling parts in a distributed production system composed of many parallel identical facilities. According to the typical PBF-EB production stages, each facility also has a second stage for cleaning and support removal operations, and only a subset of facilities has a third stage for surface finishing and post-heat treatments. In the case study, the scheduling problem is solved by a proposed genetic algorithm to minimize the makespan.

Toxicological aspects of wastewater

‘Alea iacta est', the die is cast, said the Roman general Gaius Julius Caesar the moment he and his troops crossed the Rubicon River. This phrase refers to a state where everything has already been decided and this decision cannot be taken back. It is at this borderline that humanity now finds itself; its survival is at stake. The basic biogenic components of the environment, such as water, air, and soil, are coming under the pressure of the modern industrial revolution. The products of this anthropogenic activity significantly affect the environment. We live in a time of rapid climate change, melting of glaciers, devastation of nature, mass extermination, or loss of animal and plant species in order to increase human living standards. Man has caused all this in one stage of human life, a generation. Humanity mismanages natural resources and clings to a lifestyle that is vain. It destroys the natural environment on which it is dependent simultaneously. An environmental disaster is coming. Will our blue planet still be livable for future generations? The study deals with one of the components of the environmental environment, not an insignificant one, that is, water. For the moment, recycled water is a neglected and underappreciated resource from the point of view of the Czech Republic and its state authorities. The cleaning process may be inadequate or unreliable, and residual biological and chemical contaminants may pose a risk to human health. This work focuses on the use of purified wastewater mainly for firefighting unit activities in relation to a possible health risk. The result of the study is a clear possible recommendation for the use of recycled wastewater from a technical, technological, and logistical point of view, but taking into account the precautionary principle.

In this paper, DEA cross-efficiency model is used to measure the energy TFP, and moment estimation method is used to empirically test the influence and heterogeneity of digital finance on energy TFP, and then the intermediary model is constructed to study and analyze the influence mechanism based on the sample data of 30 provinces in the Chinese Mainland from 2011 to 2018. The following research findings are obtained. First, the development of digital finance has played a significant role in improving energy TFP. Second, spatial heterogeneity exists in the process of digital finance affecting energy TFP improvement, that is, digital finance has a more obvious improvement effect on the energy TFP in central and western China than in eastern China. Third, digital finance can affect energy TFP through technological innovation; that is, the improvement of regional technological innovation is an important transmission mechanism for digital finance to affect energy TFP.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN AND ITS AESTHETIC VISUAL DIMENSIONS IN INTERIOR SPACES (AS A CASE STUDY FOR THE HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTER)

The second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century witnessed a great design development as a result of the modern technological revolution and the many and varied developments and achievements it presented to human thought, which requires new methods of design thinking. Therefore, some new design and intellectual terms and trends emerged as a result of the rapid technological progress based on the employment of digital technology and design software. As a result of this development, new intellectual trends in design emerged in order to keep pace with the development taking place, beginning with deconstruction based on high technology, reaching parametricism and the resulting intellectual and design trends. Therefore, the term parametric design is considered in design, or as it is known as parametric design among architects and designers, as it represents a set of design provisions and meanings that have an aesthetic feature. This design is also considered a unique style that combines knowledge in sculpture, architecture and interior design. Accordingly, the problem of the research study was formulated with the following question: What are the visual dimensions of an aesthetic feature resulting from the application of parametric design in contemporary interior spaces? While the research study contributes to being a new design knowledge addition of a detailed nature so that it sheds light on one of the most important trends (parametric) by knowing its visual dimensions of aesthetic character and its effective role in the designs of contemporary interior spaces. While the current research aims to reveal the visual dimensions of the aesthetic feature resulting from the application of parametric design in contemporary interior spaces, The research study also included the axes of the theoretical framework as well as the research procedures represented in the research methodology based on the descriptive analytical approach (case study). Finally, the research study included extracting the most important results, conclusions, recommendations and future proposals

A Conceptual Model for Developing Digital Maturity in Hospitality Micro and Small Enterprises

Against the backdrop of the fourth industrial revolution and the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation (DT) in the day-to-day operations of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) comes with challenges. Existing maturity models generally focus on advanced levels and are inappropriate for relatively immature companies (e.g., most hospitality MSEs). This study used online documents and in-depth interviews as data sources to develop a customized maturity model framework for hospitality MSEs. Through coding analysis, the research identified four key dimensions that constitute the digital maturity of hotels: strategy and organization, digital technology, digital capabilities, and integrated business. These enterprises have progressed in their digital maturity, moving from an IT-enabled transformation to adopting a brand-oriented approach. The selection of a digital transformation strategy depends on strategic alignment. The proposed model provides a comprehensive understanding of the maturity levels of these companies, thereby facilitating their successful integration into the ongoing modern industrial revolution.

Can lean principles assist to reduce BIM implementation costs? A contemporary application of lean principles to the Sri Lankan construction industry

PurposeBuilding information modelling (BIM) claims to be spearheading the modern technological revolution in the global construction industry. While scholars have emphasised the cruciality of BIM, associated costs have been identified as one of the major barriers to successful BIM implementation, as is the case in Sri Lanka. Besides, lean principles (LPs) are known for increasing efficiency, quality and eliminating waste, thereby reducing overall costs. Hence, this research aims at addressing the BIM implementation barrier associated with costs by applying suitable LP, enhancing overall value by minimising value-insignificant activities.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a qualitative research approach. 10 experts with expertise in both BIM and LP were targeted for the primary data collection through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analysed using manual content analysis.FindingsResearch findings discovered the cost centres that can be applied to the LPs and the effective LPs that can be applied with the cost centres of BIM implementation. The theoretical implication of the study is to provide insights into a potential application of LP for BIM cost centres, whereas practical consequences include the identification of LP's potential to minimise BIM cost centres, ergo, achieving a successful BIM implementation.Originality/valueThis study will be the first of its kind in the Sri Lankan construction industry, intending to apply LP with BIM implementation cost centres to achieve a successful implementation. This research also has paved the way forward for further research on the application of both the BIM and LP concepts for similar construction industries in developing countries across the world and in addressing other BIM implementation barriers.

Узбекистан между политической модернизацией и социальным консерватизмом

The article analyzes the problem of the formation and development of the classical state and classical democracy in Uzbekistan in the modern world, where globalization and technological revolution transform the essence of both the state and democracy. The article argues the need to abandon the post-Soviet lexicon in the discussion and understanding of the political perspective. It highlights the problem of archaic remnants in public relations, which not only contradict the modernization of society and the state, but they are also largely objectified in the geopolitical interpretations of the country’s development directions. It also focuses on the hypothesis of post-democracy and non-democracy.

Трансформации XXI века – человек, общество, ценности, ноономика: материальное VS идеальное, «физики» VS «лирики»

The article raises a conceptual problem that has both philosophical and socio-economic content: the nature of the interaction of material and spiritual principles in the context of the increasing role of knowledge and cultural values as factors of modern socio-economic development. The author shows that the process of searching for new knowledge has rapidly begun to play a predominant role in relation to the material foundations of production, since now it determines the very nature of these material foundations. But such a revolution in the relations of the material and the ideal in the production process itself rests on the transition to knowledge-intensive material production technologies and to the creation of a knowledge-intensive product. This change also leads to qualitative changes in property relations and in the nature of a human. Property relations are gradually eroding, which in the future may lead to their exhaustion, and a person, in order to ensure the development of society in the conditions of the modern technological revolution, must break through the narrow shell of an economic person, and become a truly reasonable person, a noohuman, who relies on the cultural imperatives of human development.

A Review of Research Progress in Selective Laser Melting (SLM).

SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a unique additive manufacturing technology which plays an irreplaceable role in the modern industrial revolution. 3D printers can directly process metal powder quickly to obtain the necessary parts faster. Shortly, it will be possible to manufacture products at unparalleled speeds. Advanced manufacturing technology is used to produce durable and efficient parts with different metals that have good metal structure performance and excellent metal thermal performance, to lead the way for laser powder printing technology. Traditional creative ways are usually limited by time, and cannot respond to customers' needs fast enough; for some parts with high precision and complexity, conventional manufacturing methods are inadequate. Contrary to this, SLM technology offers some advantages, such as requiring no molds this decreases production time and helps to reduce costs. In addition, SLM technology has strong comprehensive functions, which can reduce assembly time and improve material utilization. Parts with complex structures, such as cavities and three-dimensional grids, can be made without restricting the shape of products. Products or parts can be printed quickly without the use of expensive production equipment. The product quality is better, and the mechanical load performance is comparable to traditional production technologies (such as forging). This paper introduces in detail the process parameters that affect SLM technology and how they affect SLM, commonly used metal materials and non-metallic materials, and summarizes the current research. Finally, the problems faced by SLM are prospected.

Power quality improvement by using photovoltaic based shunt active harmonic filter with Z-source inverter converter

Introduction. The major source of energy for a long time has been fossil fuels, however this has its drawbacks because of their scarcity, exhaustibility, and impossibility of reusing them. Presently, a shunt active harmonic filter-equipped two-stage solar photovoltaic system is showing off its performance shunt active harmonic filter. The global power system has been impacted by current harmonics during the most modern industrial revolution. Novelty. The proposed work is innovative, by adopting the hysteresis modulation mode with Z-source inverter to enhance the performance of the system. Furthermore, the shunt active harmonic filter also get assists in this system for better improvement in the quality of power. Purpose. By incorporating an impedance source inverter and a photovoltaic shunt active harmonic filter methods, harmonic issues are mitigated. Methods. Load compensation is one of the services that the shunt active harmonic filter offers, in addition to harmonic compensation, power factor correction, and many other functions. The current pulse width modulation voltage source inverter method is more expensive, requires two converters owing to its two-stage conversion, has significant switching losses, and has a low rate of the reaction. The new model, in which the voltage source inverter is substituted out for a Z-source inverter converter, has been developed in order to address the problems of the existing system. Results. Rather than using a hybrid of DC-DC and DC-AC converters, the suggested system uses a shunt active harmonic filter that is powered by a photovoltaic source using a Z-source inverter. Utilizing Z-source inverter helps to address the present issues with conventional configurations. Practical value. By using software MATLAB/Simulink, this photovoltaic shunt active harmonic filter technique is analyzed. Shunt active harmonic filter, which produces compensatory current from the reference current obtained as from main supply, is powered by the photovoltaic array.

Dynamics of Representations Concerning Mechanisms of Formation of Social Identity of Youth: a Review of Publications of the RSCI

The subject of the research is the phenomenon of dissipation of the social identity of young people in modern Russian society. Purpose: to compare the reflection of this phenomenon in the academic and public consciousness. Hypothesis: the dynamics and structure of the idea of the social identity of young people at the present stage of Russia's development is not the same in the academic and public consciousness. The hypothesis was tested on the example of publications included in the RSCI database. There are two categories of publications: 1) scientific journals, dissertations, 2) conference materials. The first reflects ideas about social phenomena in the minds of the academic community; the second is in the mass consciousness of the general scientific community. Search depth 11 years (2012–2021). It included the annexation of Crimea to Russia, pension reform, the C0VID-19 pandemic, and the merger of two social support funds for the population (PF and FSS). The volume of empirical data amounted to 86341 titles of publications. The views of the authors of publications on the phenomenon under study were recorded according to five search queries: “social identity of young people”, “social security”, “social protection”, “social assistance”, “social support”. The algorithm of the relationship between these topics was studied using paired correlation analysis. It was found that the peak of publications for these requests coincided with the three-year period 2016–2018. The reflection of the problem of the social identity of young people in academic publications preceded its active discussion in conference proceedings by 4–6 years. Fundamental differences are found in the ideas about the social identity of young people in the academic and public consciousness. In scientific articles and dissertations, the social identity of young people is considered as a special case of self-organization of complex social systems, in conference materials – as a separate element of a hierarchically built deterministic financial system. The results obtained are regarded by us as proof of the correctness of the null hypothesis put forward. Possible areas of application of the results of the study: youth, social and demographic policy of the state at a new stage of socio-economic reforms. The limitation for the implementation of the research results in the practice of social management may be the effect of inertial public opinion and mass consciousness, as well as the financial interests of individual lobbies currently involved in the implementation of social projects. Directions for future research – targeted monitoring of the transformation of the mass in accordance with the requirements of the modern technological revolution.
