The impact of account managers’ dual embeddedness on solution co-creation performance

Purpose This study aims to investigate account managers’ dual embeddedness (customer and internal embeddedness) in solution co-creation. The authors examine the mediating role of two-way matching between suppliers and customers and the moderating role of customer requirement complexity. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a questionnaire to collect data from 566 account managers of supplier companies in China and conduct hypothesis testing through multiple linear regression analysis and bootstrapping. Findings The findings demonstrate that customer and internal embeddedness are distinct with different dimensions and are positively related to solution co-creation performance. Customer and internal embeddedness affect solution co-creation performance through two-way matching in the customer requirement definition and solution integration phases, respectively. The interaction term of customer and internal embeddedness indirectly affect solution co-creation performance through two-way matching, and customer requirement complexity strengthens this main effect. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine dual embeddedness at the individual level and distinguish between the customer and internal embeddedness of account managers by different dimensional classifications. The authors clarify the difference and relationship between customer and internal embeddedness in solution co-creation and investigate the mediating and moderating roles of two-way matching and customer requirement complexity, respectively. This study expands the theoretical research on social embeddedness theory and business-to-business solutions and provides useful insights into the solution co-creation practice for account managers and suppliers.

AI‐Augmented Software Engineering: Revolutionizing or Challenging Software Quality and Testing?

ABSTRACTWith organizations seeking faster, cheaper, and smarter ways of delivering higher quality software, many are looking towards generative artificial intelligence (AI) to drive efficiencies and innovation throughout the software development lifecycle. However, generative AI can suffer from several fundamental issues, including a lack of traceability in concept generation and decision‐making, the potential for making incorrect inferences (hallucinations), shortcomings in response quality, and bias. Quality engineering (QE) has long been utilized to enable more efficient and effective delivery of higher quality software. A core aspect of QE is adopting quality models to support various lifecycle practices, including requirements definition, quality risk assessments, and testing. In this position paper, we introduce the application of QE to AI systems, consider shortcomings in existing AI quality models from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and propose extensions to ISO models based on the results of a survey. We also reflect on skills that IT graduates may need in the future, to support delivery of better‐quality AI.

Field Performance Testing and Test Codes for Gas Compressors

Abstract Field testing of gas compressor packages requires the accurate determination of efficiency, capacity, head, and power in sometimes less than ideal working environments. The results of field tests have significant implications for the compressor manufacturers and their customers, as economic considerations demand that the performance and efficiency of an installation are verified to assure a project's return on investment. Thus, for the compressor manufacturers, as well as for the end-user, an accurate determination of the compressor performance in the field is of vital interest. While field performance tests have to be executed under conditions dictated by the situation at site, factory test codes like ASME PTC10 and ISO 5389 provide guidance. The former code was recently revised, so a discussion of this revised code in the context of site performance testing is appropriate. A key change in PTC10 is the method to calculate polytropic work, which affects data reduction. It also affirms a method to calculate error propagation and test uncertainties. The discussion includes the appropriate use of Equations of State, and the definition of steady state requirements. Different methods to define valid operating conditions for the test, based on similarity considerations are compared. However, field tests, unlike factory tests, are ultimately conducted based on the conditions at site which may or may not conform with test codes, Therefore, calculation of test uncertainties, and the use of observations not covered by the codes are emphasized. The paper attempts to provide guidance for the conduct of field performance tests.

ANALYSIS OF THE REGULATORY AND LEGAL BASE FOR THE FORMATION OF GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TEST SLOTS FOR THE CHECKING OF DEMINING MACHINES (HUMANITARIAN) BY FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE

The relevance of the chosen topic is determined primarily by the need to organize testing and certification activities, the introduction of international demining standards and NATO standards in humanitarian demining. To assess the suitability of demining machines under the same controlled conditions. This makes it possible to evaluate products under the same conditions and determine the most productive samples. This actualizes the need to define general requirements for test sites for testing mechanized means of humanitarian demining by functional purpose. It is worth improving approaches to the organization and functioning of test sites based on the existing international experience and new domestic developments. In the course of the conducted research, it was established that there is an urgent need to organize demining of territories in Ukraine, both for military tasks and for humanitarian demining tasks. It has been established that the lack of general requirements for test sites for conducting tests and assessing the conformity of demining means approved as a normative legal act is an urgent problem that needs immediate resolution. During the research, a classification of demining tools was carried out, which are divided into machines for detonation, destruction, removal of mines; machines for soil preparation; machines for detecting sources of danger, have different types of working equipment (excavator or bulldozer type) and different types of attached equipment: roller trawls, milling-rotor trawls, knife trawls, chain trawls, fighting trawls, mulchers for soil treatment. In accordance with the set goal, the article developed recommendations for determining general requirements for test areas of demining machines equipment, substantiated the quantitative and qualitative indicators of objects and elements of test areas for conducting certification tests of mechanical (humanitarian) demining equipment according to their functional purpose, which are based on the practices of conducting such works in Ukraine and other countries. The necessity of forming requirements for test areas for assessing the survivability and productivity of demining means is substantiated. In particular, with the definition of requirements for test sites and related infrastructure. Recommendations are given for the placement of the main and additional elements on the test plots. Recommendations were provided and an approximate scheme for the placement of the main objects and elements of test areas for the organization of certification tests was provided, which will allow to ensure the performance of testing and certification tasks at the level established by state and international standards. In general, the substantiation of the requirements for test sites and the adoption of general requirements for test sites at the level of a normative document will allow normalizing the processes of testing samples of mechanized demining equipment and will allow the implementation of mine action tasks in Ukraine at a new, organizationally and practically improved level.

University Support for Coping with Studying During the Fourth Wave of the Pandemic: A Thematic Analysis of Student Perspectives

This qualitative study, conducted in Poland in January 2022, drew upon the experiences of final semester master’s degree psychology students. Amidst record-high case numbers, these students were asked to provide written statements discussing the stress they experienced in relation to studying during the pandemic and what the university as an organization should offer to support students in coping. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify and interpret patterns regarding the reported stress and proposed solutions for coping. This study spotlighted health concerns, technostress, communication challenges, and the diminished human contact as key sources of stress in remote learning environments. Findings further indicated that stress management could be significantly improved through the proper organization and prompt communication of changes in teaching and examination modes. Furthermore, a clear definition of course requirements and conditions for credit, combined with avenues for student input, emerged as an essential aspect of the university's approach. The study recommends the development of stress management and well-being courses, organization of additional instructor-student meetings, and promotion of social activities to combat isolation. It also underscored the necessity of accessible psychological support, highlighting the potential benefits of interventions such as mindfulness programs. The implementation of these suggestions aims to foster the development of resilient, adaptive, and successful individuals prepared to face the challenges of an increasingly interconnected and technologically-driven world.

Early Design Stage Evaluation of All Electric Aircraft Power Systems Focusing on Long-Term Behavior

In the aircraft industry, there is a shift towards more and all-electric power systems resulting in great research efforts on single components like batteries. At the same time there is an increasing need to investigate and evaluate the long-term behavior of the whole electric power system to ensure safe and sustainable aircraft operation. Focusing on this challenge, the objective of this article is to propose a framework for electric power system assessment in the early design stages. In particular, the focus is on identifying and handling uncertainties regarding failure behavior and degradation, both on the component and system level. The evaluation of different power system topologies is based on the integration of Model-Based Systems Engineering and robust design methods. In this context, another central aspect is the definition of system and component requirements derived from the flight mission profile. SysML diagrams are used to define use cases and possible system topologies. Sensitivity of degradation effects are evaluated using robust design methods. The application of the framework and these methods is illustrated using a short-range aircraft with an all-electric power system. The results highlight the applicability of the framework to cope with the uncertainties that occur in the early design stages and point out fields of further research.

RED-SEA Project: Towards a new-generation European interconnect

RED-SEA is a H2020 EuroHPC project, whose main objective is to prepare a new-generation European Interconnect, capable of powering the EU Exascale systems to come, through an economically viable and technologically efficient interconnect, leveraging European interconnect technology (BXI) associated with standard and mature technology (Ethernet), previous EU-funded initiatives, as well as open standards and compatible APIs.To achieve this objective, the RED-SEA project is being carried out around four key pillars: (i) network architecture and workload requirements-interconnects co-design – aiming at optimizing the fit with the other EuroHPC projects and with the EPI processors; (ii) development of a high-performance, low-latency, seamless bridge with Ethernet; (iii) efficient network resource management, including congestion and Quality-of-Service; and (iv) end-to-end functions implemented at the network edges.This paper presents key achievements and results at the midterm of the project for each key pillar in the way to reach the final project objective. In this regard we can highlight: (i) The definition of the network requirements and architecture as well as a list of benchmarks and applications; (ii) In addition to initially planned IPs progress, BXI3 architecture has evolved to support natively Ethernet at low level, resulting in reduced complexity, with advantages in terms of cost optimization, and power consumption; (iii) The congestion characterization of target applications and proposals to reduce this congestion by the optimization of collective communication primitives, injection throttling and adaptive routing; and (iv) the low-latency high-message rate endpoint functions and their connection with new open technologies.

The ERMES chatbot: A conversational communication tool for improved emergency management and disaster risk reduction

The increased occurrence and severity of worldwide disasters, exacerbated by the impact of climate change, pose significant challenges to emergency management, calling for novel and more effective Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) approaches. Despite the phenomenological differences of diverse hazards and the heterogeneity of local policies and governance structures, effective communication systems are needed to better manage the available resources in all phases of the emergency management cycle, especially in the case of cross-border events. In this work, we present the design, implementation, and validation of a novel tool for emergency management, i.e., the ERMES Chatbot: a mobile-based conversational communication system developed to facilitate real-time bidirectional communication between control centres, in-field forces, and citizens. The methodology used to create the ERMES Chatbot is grounded on the user-centred design approach, which entails end-user involvement in all key phases of the development, including the definition of the end-user requirements, the technical design, and the final validation of the proposed solution. The co-design approach involved several organisations belonging to the DRR domain, which includes a gamified experience for citizens and is iteratively validated through four in-field demonstration events based on realistic emergency scenarios with the involvement of emergency practitioners, volunteering organisations, and citizens.

Machine learning with requirements: A manifesto

In the recent years, machine learning has made great advancements that have been at the root of many breakthroughs in different application domains. However, it is still an open issue how to make them applicable to high-stakes or safety-critical application domains, as they can often be brittle and unreliable. In this paper, we argue that requirements definition and satisfaction can go a long way to make machine learning models even more fitting to the real world, especially in critical domains. To this end, we present two problems in which (i) requirements arise naturally, (ii) machine learning models are or can be fruitfully deployed, and (iii) neglecting the requirements can have dramatic consequences. Our proposed pyramid development process integrates requirements specification into every stage of the machine learning pipeline, ensuring mutual influence between requirements and subsequent phases. Additionally, we explore the pivotal role of Neuro-symbolic AI in facilitating this integration, paving the way for more reliable and robust machine learning applications in critical domains. Through this approach, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementations, ensuring machine learning’s safe and effective deployment in sensitive areas.

Information System for Payment of Dues and Savings at SMA Negeri 1 Cibungbulang School Based on WEB

SMA Negeri 1 Cibungbulang, in recording Student Dues and Savings, still uses a spreadsheet application, where transaction recording use spreadsheet application has identified four cases that were complained of by the school administration: first, when recording payment transaction data, there was still an error in data input; secondly, when created the recapitulation report is still less effective and efficient; third when entering the school year the school Administration needs to re-create spreadsheet pages to separate old and new data; fourth transaction data is still prone to be scattered due to manual storage. Because of this, we need a better alternative to managing student finances so that it can be more effective and efficient. This study aims to analyze, design, and build a WEB-based Information System for Student Dues and Savings at SMA Negeri 1 Cibungbulang.

Design of an Inventory Information System at ITSK Soepraoen Using the Waterfall Method

In the current digital era, the use of information technology has become an urgent need for various institutions, including educational institutions. ITSK Soepraoen has integrated information systems in several units to increase operational efficiency. However, inventory data collection is still done manually using Microsoft Excel, which has proven to be less efficient and often causes delays in data processing. This research aims to design a website-based inventory information system at ITSK Soepraoen using the Waterfall method. This system is expected to facilitate data collection and management of inventory items as well as increase accuracy, transparency and efficiency in data processing. The research method used is the Waterfall approach which consists of four stages: requirements definition, system and software design, implementation, and testing. The result of this research is a lo-fi mockup of an inventory system that is well received by users with an acceptance rate of 92.75%. This percentage is relatively high so it can be concluded that the user accepts the design that has been created and for the next stage this inventory system can be fully implemented.

Mitigation of supply chain challenges in cell therapy manufacturing: perspectives from the cord blood alliance.

Cellular therapies rely on highly specialized supply chains that often depend on single source providers. Public cord blood banks (CBB) manufacturing the first cell therapy to be highly regulated by the FDA and related international agencies are a prime example of being subject to this phenomenon. In addition to banking unrelated donor cord blood units for transplantation, CBBs also source and characterize starting materials for supply to allogeneic cell therapy developers that often employ customized technologies offered by just a small number of manufacturers. As such, these supply chains are especially sensitive to even minor changes which often result in potential major impacts. Regulations can shape supply chain efficiencies, both directly via the definition of restricted technology and process requirements and indirectly by steering strategic business decisions of critical supply or service providers. We present 3 current supply chain issues with different root causes that are swaying efficiencies in cord blood banking and beyond. Specifically, the shortage of Hespan, a common supplement used in cord blood processing, the decision by the provider to stop supporting medical device marking of the Sepax system broadly used in cord blood banking, and a new European ruling on phasing out plasticizers that are critical for providing flexibility to cord blood collection bags, are all threatening downstream supply chain issues for the biologics field. We discuss overcoming these hurdles through the prism of unified mitigation strategies, defined, and implemented by multi-factorial teams and stakeholders, to negotiate resolutions with providers and regulators alike.

Establishing Metrics to Encourage Broader Use of Atomic Requirements - A Call for Exchange and Experimentation

There are seemingly many advantages to being able to identify, document, test, and trace single or "atomic" requirements during system development and maintenance. Ongoing work with Agile development has focused on "user stories" that can capture individual features for implementation. However, it is still difficult to evaluate the quality of such requirements and teaching their creation is difficult. Based on a working definition of atomic requirement, this paper proposes a set of metrics for their evaluation. Ten metrics designed to measure atomic requirements are presented here: five used on individual requirements statements and five applied to a requirements document or set of requirement statements. Example metrics for individual requirements include Requirement Atomic Completeness and Requirement Atomic Verifiability. Requirement Traceability is a proposed metric for a set of atomic requirements (such as a traditional requirements specification document.) Further work is needed to make the suggested metrics more consistent and precise, including exploring the use of tools that may automate some of the measures. However, a first step is to refine the metrics themselves and ensure they adequately measure atomic requirement quality. Hence this note shares the proposed metrics to encourage discussion and to recommend experimentation. The author is applying the metrics in software engineering courses doing team software development. The goal is the eventual acceptance of a set of requirements metrics specifically designed to evaluate atomic requirements. Better metric definitions may lead to wider utilization of atomic requirements and improved requirements engineering in general.

THE EXPERIMENTAL COMBAT UNIT COMBAT DETERMINATION WHEN PERFORMING THE MISSION IN THE WEAPONS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT TESTING AND CERTIFICATION CONTEXT

The article analyses the fact of the first combat robots’ application in a real battle in Iraq. In addition, it was found that modern combat robotic platforms from Ukrainian manufacturers can carry out reconnaissance, surveillance, and target detection missions already today, as well as providing fire support and security of the military on the front lines. It has been studied that deterring aggression and finding ways to confront the enemy was at the head of all transformations. Obviously, it became clear that the use of robotic complexes and systems is properly reflected in the approach of our victory. The need for high-quality training of an experimental combat unit (combat units, groups of scientific and technical support, representatives of manufacturers of robotic complexes (systems)) was substantiated. Such training is carried out both in peacetime and wartime. This is a planned, systematic training of the formation’s personnel, units, and subunits, carried out by commanders, staffs and units of educational work. It provides activities, the most important of which are: tasks and requirements definition; the educational process development; program development; comprehensive provision planning and control methods organization. The composition and duties of the experimental combat unit have been determined. We emphasize the need to create a modular mobile training and testing complex to unify such training. We conducted an analysis of the combat unit training by the sample’s manufacturer according to its own training programs, that are approved by the head of the enterprise and agreed by the military administration body, in whose interests it is planned to supply armament and military equipment. The stages of preparation and the procedure of combat coordination of an experimental combat unit are proposed. It is proposed to carry out the preparation and the tests themselves in 2 stages. The first stage is carried out at the training ground of a designated military unit. The second stage is carried out in combat conditions (in the areas of hostilities). Also, the main key points of each stage are defined. The usefulness of this article’s material lies in the fact that, based on the analysis of the programs and methods of the manufacturers, we make our proposal regarding the order of organization and the procedure of the preparation itself.

A survey of current specialty palliative care education in the United States.

Palliative care (PC) is a health care specialty that is focused on the holistic care of individuals with serious illness. It requires interprofessional collaboration and expertise to meet the physical, psychosocial, social, cultural, and spiritual needs of patients experiencing serious illness and their families. The interprofessional team (IPT) is most often composed of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) [including Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs), and Physician Associates/Assistants (PAs)], Chaplains, Registered Nurses (RNs), Doctors of Medicine and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (MDs/DOs), Registered Pharmacists (RPhs), Social Workers (SWs) and other professions depending on site of care, the age of the patient, and the illness. The United States has specialty palliative care (SPC) IPT members who have completed advanced education and training and obtained specialty certification. However, there is currently no interprofessional consensus education and training resulting in interprofessional variability of definitions of education and requirements for academic preparation into the specialty. This article offers the results of an online review and survey of the current availability of SPC education in the United States which includes certificate programs, residencies, fellowships, and immersion programs available to each profession. The purpose of this review is to unify the available information regarding SPC programs, providing a succinct, yet thorough, overview of the SPC educational landscape. It emphasizes the length of time, cost, and delivery method for IPT members in choosing programs.

Quantifying Patient Capabilities and Setting the Stage for Future Development: Insights from a Sensor-Augmented Simulated Use Study with Pen Injectors.

While formative and summative usability testing is essential to confirm safe and effective product use, it may not be sufficient to comprehensively understand user capabilities and limitations in device interactions. Therefore, this research aims to quantify user handling forces for different device handling steps of pen injectors through sensor-augmented simulated use studies. The study involved 46 participants who were divided into two groups: a healthy control group and a group of users with dexterity impairments. All participants were instructed to perform simulated handling steps using non-functional dummy devices equipped with force and torque sensors. Each handling step was performed twice: first at what participants considered a comfortable force level and then at their maximum force. The study then analyzed force data to investigate the impact of user characteristics and device geometry on force exertion during the different handling steps. The study demonstrates differences in the perceived comfortable and maximum force levels between the control and patient groups. These force levels decrease slightly with the user's age and level of dexterity impairment. Furthermore, the forces applied by the users are dependent on the geometry of the device and the holding pattern. The results highlight the significance of sensor-augmented simulated use studies as a tool for providing quantitative insights into users' ability to exert force while handling self-injection devices. These data offer comprehensive insights that inform the definition of performance requirements and specifications for injection device design, thereby supporting the advancement of future self-injection devices.

From the Concept of Storing Documents in Electronic Form to the Regulatory and Legal Basis of Creating National Archival and Library Information Resources

The aim of the article is to study conceptual principles of storing documents in electronic form, in particular, electronic documents, digital documents and creating metadata for them, taking into account integration processes of grounding national information resources in archival and library spheres of activity. Additionally, to trace tendencies in the implementation of existing concepts, to identify the best Ukrainian practices, to highlight defects, and offer possible ways to solve problems. Research methods. This study uses the following methods: theoretical, as moving from the abstract to the concrete, reality reflection in thinking; empirical, as observation and comparison; complex, as system analysis, synthesis and modulation; special, as graphic and component analysis; prognostication. Scientific novelty consists in implementating a systematic interdisciplinary comparative analysis of the problem of storing documents in electronic form in archives and libraries, in order to determine the directions for solving this problem, using the definition of common requirements for similar information objects and processes, particularly, in the context of the initiative to create the National Electronic Library of Ukraine, in which it is offered to integrate information on objects of national heritage stored in archives, libraries, museums, as well as thereafter data from publishers. Main conclusions. Based on the results of this research, it should be stated that Ukrainian archivists achieved the greatest success in developing the overall system from creation the documents in electronic form to their transmission for permanent storage. An important issue is the development of the “long-term storage” system, the formation of which, in our opinion, should begin with the requirements for the information objects with which this system will be filled. This will significantly affect the structure and content of the metadata needed to manage this system. The successful experience of Ukrainian archivists and librarians should be used here. The most urgent task is to put the finishing touches to the Concept of creating the National Electronic Library of Ukraine according to the best domestic and foreign practices.
