Analisis Faktor-faktor Penyebab Teknostres pada Karyawan Fresh Graduate Strata 1

The industrial revolution 4.0 has driven digital transformation in various sectors, changing the way companies operate and employees work. However, behind the advancements and efficiencies offered by technology comes a new phenomenon that deserves serious attention: technostress. Technostress, a term first introduced by Craig Brod in 1984, refers to the inability of individuals to adapt to or cope with new technologies in a healthy manner. This phenomenon is increasingly relevant in the context of the modern workplace, where employees are required to continuously adopt and adapt to new technologies. In this ever-changing work landscape, fresh graduate employees are an interesting group to study. They enter the workforce with assumed digital skills, but in reality, they are also vulnerable to technostress. Although this generation is often referred to as “digital natives”, they face unique challenges in dealing with the technological demands of the professional workplace. The participants in this study had the following criteria: male and female, 20-40 years old, recent graduates from a university, and have been working for at least one year or more. There were 72 participants collected in this study. Data collection for this study was carried out from September 2024 to mid-October 2024. The sampling technique used by researchers is purposive sampling. This type of research is qualitative which is analyzed using MAXQDA Analytics Pro 24 v24.4.1. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the occurrence of technostress in employees of new undergraduate graduates. From the results of the research analysis, it can be said that the causes of technostress are quite complex, resulting in varied answers. However, the dominant answer said that technostress occurs due to unwise or excessive use of electronic devices that have a negative physical and emotional effect on users.

Intelligent transformation, fintech, and green Growth：A general equilibrium analysis based on credit allocation perspective

This paper conducted an in-depth study to elucidate the impact of corporate intelligence transformation and regional financial technology on green economic growth, particularly the role of credit resource allocation. We developed a multi-sector general equilibrium model, integrating the heterogeneity of intelligent transformation in production sectors and accounting for the influence of Fintech on financial institutions. Within this model framework, panel data from 2011 to 2021 at the provincial, municipal, and micro-enterprise levels in China were used to validate the theoretical model through a mixed regression approach. The findings indicate that as intelligent transformation firms receive more credit resources, their potential for green economic growth increases, contributing to reduced regional carbon emissions. Additionally, the excess productivity of intelligent transformation firms has a significant positive impact on regional carbon reduction efforts. Moreover, the advancement of Fintech reduces financial institutional costs, further optimizing credit allocation and lowering overall market interest rates, thereby promoting green development within the region. However, advancements in Fintech may also redirect more credit resources toward low-risk general enterprises, resulting in a credit crowding-out effect for intelligent transformation firms. These findings indicate that, while promoting intelligent transformation, policy measures should also balance the resource allocation effects of Fintech across different types of enterprises.

Learning performance and physiological feedback-based evaluation for human–robot collaboration

The development of Industry 4.0 has resulted in tremendous transformations in the manufacturing sector to supplement the human workforce through collaboration with robots. This emphasis on a human-centered approach is a vital aspect in promoting resilience within manufacturing operations. In response, humans need to adjust to new working conditions, including sharing areas with no apparent separations and with simultaneous actions that might affect performance. At the same time, wearable technologies and applications with the potential to gather detailed and accurate human physiological data are growing rapidly. These data lead to a better understanding of evaluating human performance while considering multiple factors in human–robot collaboration. This study uses an approach for assessing human performance in human–robot collaboration. The assessment scenario necessitates understanding of how humans perceive collaborative work based on several indicators, such as perceptions of workload, performance, and physiological feedback. The participants were evaluated for around 120 min. The results showed that human performance improved as the number of repetitions increased, and the learning performance value was 92%. Other physiological indicators also exhibited decreasing values as the human performance tended to increase. The findings can help the industry to evaluate human performance based on workload, performance, and physiological feedback information. The implication of this assessment can serve as a foundation for enhancing resilience by refining work systems that are adaptable to humans without compromising performance.

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.

Water use in the industrial sector based on the IPAC model under the carbon-neutral transformation path in China

To examine the impact of promoting transformative hydrogen-based technologies on water demand in traditional high-energy and high-water-consuming sectors under the carbon-neutral transition, this study investigates the industrial sector transformation path. It compares the water consumption of current production processes with future hydrogen-based and advanced water-saving technologies. By developing a model, the study analyses the water-saving potential of 54 water-saving and hydrogen-based technologies across three water consumption scenarios and evaluates their impact on industrial water use. This study highlights the pivotal role of water-saving technologies in transforming industrial sectors, particularly in the paper and textile industries, where zero-emission technologies have considerably reduced water demand. Water savings in the paper industry are projected to increase from 24.29 Mt in 2025 to 101.44 Mt in 2050, representing an 8.5% increase. In the chemical fibre sector, additional water savings are expected to reach 106.93 Mt by 2050, with an 11.6% increase in water-saving efficiency. Similarly, the textile dyeing and finishing sector is anticipated to achieve an additional water saving of 26.45 Mt by 2050, corresponding to a 17.5% improvement. The findings indicate that the adoption of hydrogen-based technologies will considerably reduce water consumption in traditionally high-water-consuming industries such as steel, synthetic ammonia, ethylene, and methanol. This reduction becomes particularly evident by 2050 under the baseline pathway and low water consumption scenarios, in which the impact of water-saving technologies becomes less prominent. By 2050, water consumption in the steel, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, and methanol industries is projected to decrease to 985.93, 59.11, 242.4, and 268.29 Mt, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of hydrogen-based technologies in advancing water conservation. By 2050, the chemical industry is projected to reduce water stress by transitioning from traditional water-saving technologies to the integration of automation and hydrogen-based solutions.

Sustainable transformation of energy sector: Cluster analysis for the sustainable development strategies of selected European countries

Implementing measures by the European countries within the framework of the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement should ensure an enlarged share in energy production from alternative energy sources and the introduction of new alternative energy capacities, which would provide an annual decrease in carbon dioxide emissions growth rate, reduce anthropogenic pressure on the natural environment and the use of non-renewable natural resources while preserving biodiversity. This paper aims at forming a system of indicators of sustainable transformation of the energy sector and studying their influence on the policy of environmental-oriented development. The paper applies Ward's method for determining the optimal cluster number and discriminant analysis for checking which variables significantly influence the formation of countries' clusters. The six clusters of countries obtained describe the different features of decarbonisation and climate change mitigation policies. Using discriminant analysis helped to single out the most relevant indicators of the energy sector's transformation in the direction of its decarbonisation and climate change mitigation. The most significant indicators (energy efficiency, electricity production capacities for renewables and wastes, and share of energy from renewable sources) largely determine the pace and features of forming sustainable development strategies for the energy sector. By highlighting the relevant cluster groups in the study, their characteristic features, and ways of transformational processes in the energy sector were discovered. This enabled the authors to form specific directions for strengthening and activating the processes of decarbonisation of the energy sector and climate change mitigation. There outcomes can become the basis for further research and the formation of appropriate strategies for sustainable development and transformation of the energy sector. The results stemming from this study could help scholars and other affiliated persons determine future strategies for research for implementing Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
