Artificial intelligence and higher education - enemies or allies

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most discussed topics in 2023. According to sociological surveys, the awareness of Russians in the field of AI and their willingness to use new technologies have grown. The leap in the development of neural networks, chatbots and AI technologies in general has already affected many areas of life, and the education system is no exception. Teachers face many challenges related to the regulation of the AI application in the educational process. On the one hand, issues of regulating the use of AI technologies in universities require a scrupulous study which is complicated by the speed of technological development. On the other hand, in addition to official regulations, it is necessary to solve more global and labor-intensive tasks: to unlock the potential of AI in the educational process; analyze the ethical side of the issue and develop the culture of using new technologies; adapt educational materials and assignments based on the possible application of AI by students; change curricula and revise the competency system, etc. The article considers ways to use AI technologies in the educational process as perceived by teachers and students. The author emphasizes both constructive and destructive capabilities of new technologies, the challenges that universities will face in the near future, and the positions of university representatives on these issues. The author believes that the use of AI technologies in education can benefit both teachers and students in sociology and other areas. It is impossible to stop the development of technologies; any attempts to hinder them are counterproductive; therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the established educational approaches according to the requirements of our time.

Interrogating Pharmacogenetics Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

Pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of the role of inherited or acquired sequence change in drug response. With the rapid evolution of molecular techniques, bioinformatic tools, and increased throughput of functional genomic studies, the discovery of PGx associations and clinical implementation of PGx test results have now moved beyond a handful variants in single pharmacogenes and multi-gene panels that interrogate a few pharmacogenes to whole-exome and whole-genome scales. Although some laboratories have adopted next-generation sequencing (NGS) as a testing platform for PGx and other molecular tests, most clinical laboratories that offer PGx tests still use targeted genotyping approaches. This article discusses primarily the technical considerations for clinical laboratories to develop NGS-based PGx tests including whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing analyses and highlights the challenges and opportunities in test design, content selection, bioinformatic pipeline for PGx allele and diplotype assignment, rare variant classification, reporting, and briefly touches a few additional areas that are important for successful clinical implementation of PGx results. The accelerated speed of technology development associated with continuous cost reduction and enhanced ability to interrogate complex genome regions makes it inevitable for most, if not all, clinical laboratories to transition PGx testing to an NGS-based platform in the near future. It is important for laboratories and relevant professional societies to recognize both the potential and limitations of NGS-based PGx profiling, and to work together to develop a standard and consistent practice to maximize the variant or allele detection rate and utility of PGx testing.

Patent Citation Network Simplification and Similarity Evaluation Based on Technological Inheritance

In recent years, the speed of technology development and the number of issued patents are increasing rapidly. The relationships among patents, especially citation relationship, are getting more and more complicated. Hence, how to utilize patents and their citations effectively for studying technology development and assisting innovation is a significant research topic. In this article, we propose a framework to simplify complex patent citation networks and evaluate the similarity among patents based on technological origins and claim texts. First, we adopt the term frequency-inverse document frequency technique to convert patent claims into vectors. Second, based on these vectors, we compute the claim similarity between two patents with a citation relationship as a measure of technological inheritance. Third, the citation networks are simplified from the perspective of whole and maximum technological inheritance, respectively. Fourth, we take indirect citations and claim vectors into consideration for evaluating the similarity of any two patents on the aspect of technological elements. Finally, our framework is applied to surgical robot domain to reveal the development trend of technological inheritance and evaluate the technological similarity among patents. The main scientific contributions of this article include the following: First, we simplify patent citation networks from the perspective of technology based on patents’ claims and their citations, which can be adopted in important patent detection and patent clustering, etc; Second, the similarity of two patents is evaluated in a more detailed way by considering their claims and the second order citing patents.

RETRACTED: Joint impact of technological innovation and energy consumption on natural resource management: Evidence from the Asian developing region

The region's natural resources have been significantly depleted due to the accelerating speed of technological development and rising energy demand. Investigating the connection between these variables and how they affect natural resource management is vital. The combined effects of energy consumption and technological innovation on the management of natural resources in the growing Asian area are examined in this research. The research uses the panel and ARDL models to analyse the data gathered from emerging Asian nations between 2000 and 2020 to achieve this goal. The panel model enables the analysis of the individual and collective impacts of energy use and technological advancement on managing natural resources. The long‐term link between these factors is investigated using the ARDL model. The findings show that the management of natural resources is significantly impacted by both technical innovation and energy use. The panel model's findings indicate that although energy consumption has a detrimental influence on natural resource management, technological innovation has a favourable impact. Additionally, the outcomes of the ARDL model demonstrate that these factors have a long‐term association. The research also reveals that technological innovation's impact on managing natural resources becomes increasingly apparent with time. The study's main finding is that effective natural resource management requires politicians in the growing Asian area to implement sustainable development methods that encourage technological innovation and cut energy use.

Muhammadiyah Information Jurisprudence : A Guide Freedom of Expression in Maqoshid Sharia-Based Social Media

This study aims to find out the guidelines for freedom of expression on social media according to Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh and to know the limitations of freedom of expression on social media based on sharia maqosid in Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh. This research is a qualitative research in the form of library research. This research includes qualitative research which is research aimed at analyzing the research object holistically, descriptively without statistical analysis methods. The main object of this research is various basic principles or values ​​in Muhammadiyah Information Jurisprudence. The research approach used is a philosophical approach (philosophy of Islamic law). Because as we all know, Indonesia adheres to a civil law system where on the principle of legality it states that the applicable law is only written law, while producing a written law takes quite a long time to be heard and promulgated. Therefore this study aims to explore legal formulations regarding freedom of expression in Indonesian legal regulations; to know the effectiveness of Muhammadiyah Information Fiqh accommodation in the concept of freedom of expression in Indonesia. The presence of Maqoshid Syariah is expected to be able to regulate freedom of expression behavior in accordance with the principles of Islamic law. This specificity is what makes freedom of expression must be regulated separately outside the realm of positive law.
 To achieve this goal, research was carried out using normative methods with an Islamic legal philosophy approach, namely by exploring problems in social media, then identifying Muhammadiyah information fiqh and Islamic law canons based on maqasidu syari'ah. Finally, elaborating on Muhammadiyah information fiqh and Islamic law principles based on maqasidu syari'ah to answer as well as give direction in social media
 The targeted output is the publication of articles in national journals, namely the Al Istinbath Journal indexed by Sinta 2 or 3. At the end of this research it is hoped to be able to create a model of applicable rules that can bridge the gap or gap between the speed of technological development and the speed at which the government issues regulations

Analysis of Legal Basis for Computer Cyber Security Review

The development of computer and information technology enables the in-depth application for human beings in the network and information application, and accordingly, more and more fields in human society are deeply associated with computer networks. The emergence of computer network enables human beings to obtain higher efficiency in information processing and transaction. However, computer network is endowed with virtuality, complexity and openness, which pose itself in internal and external security threats. At the same time, the speed of technological development is always faster than the updating and optimization of administrative regulations, which makes it difficult to guarantee cyber security in terms of legal basis. This paper discusses the legal basis of computer cyber security review with the hope to provide support for the relevant work and theoretical research of computer cyber security review.

General Education in University of Korea and Korean History

With the so-called 4<sup>th</sup> Industrial Revolution, the speed of technology development is getting faster, while at rhe same time the polarization of labor market is getting worse. Therefore mid-skilled management layer is disappearing and the middle class is collapsing. There is no place to which humanities graduates to go and on the whole the humanities finds itself in crisis at university. After the modern university was established in Europe, general education had been understood as a essential device to secure criticism and universalities of university education. But with the crisis of humanities, the status of general education now stands on shaky ground. After the Korean liberation from Japan, value neutrality and marginality was strengthened and deepened in general education at university of Korea as the Japanese and American general education model was mixing together. The study of Korean history expanded tremendously in general education, when it was designated as a legal general education subject in 1974. For that reason, nationalistic nature of Korean history was strengthened and to some degree maintained after it was released from the legal ties in 1989. However the foundation of modern historiography is now fundamentally shaky. Thus we are in desperate need to seek a Korean history general education that can cultivate criticism, universality and imagination.

АНАЛІЗ ВПЛИВУ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ БЛОКЧЕЙН НА ФІНАНСОВУ СИСТЕМУ

The development of modern science does not stop, and new approaches and technologies are constantly appearing. A vivid example of new technologies is blockchain technology and its application in the financial sector. The article presents an analysis of the future development of blockchain technology. A review of modern studies in the field of application of blockchain technology in financial systems is given. The need for a long-term impact analysis of this technology on the financial system is justified because the technology's potential is not yet fully disclosed. Of course, because existing financial sectors, in particular, cryptocurrency generation, have incomprehensible prospects from economic and legal points of view. In the study, an analysis of this technology was conducted compared to the development of other fundamental technology that has changed the way of life and worldview over the past 30 years, namely the Internet. It was noted that a significant variation in the modern development of blockchain technology is that the early Internet was completely non-commercial. Internet was developed for military goals and used by scientists for communication between research institutes and universities. This difference was critical and allowed to form of the modern network architecture of the Internet. To make it in commercial conditions was problematic. The natural commercialism of the blockchain has led to the situation that today there are no general principles for regulating and use of modern financial technologies based on blockchain, both globally and nationally. The technological bases of cryptocurrency generation and the economic consequences of their circulation on the financial system are also considered in the work. So, need to develop basic principles for the generation, accounting, and circulation of cryptocurrencies at the national level, considering aspects of information and financial security. The need for further research is determined by the high speed of technology development. Areas of promising research in this context may be the use of technology in the commercial activities of enterprises and in the field of public administration and regulation in the financial sector.

Exploring the Factors Affecting Technology Transfer in Government-Funded Research Institutes: The Korean Case

Based on the resource dependence theory and the resource-based view, this study examined the impact of the resources and capabilities of government-funded research institutes (GRIs) on technology transfer. Panel analysis was performed on 21 GRIs in South Korea representing three mission types—basic future leading, public infrastructure, and industrialization—for the 2015–2019 period. The analysis confirmed that the factors affecting technology transfer performance differed among GRIs depending on their mission type. For basic future leading GRIs, the number of technology transfer cases was strongly associated with the number of research personnel, while there was a negative relationship between technology transfer and the total budget, the number of research publications, and the number of patent registrations. None of the variables affected the revenue from technology fees. Researchers at these GRIs appear to have a strong motivation for technology transfer, but the priority for resource allocation at the institutional level is the production of papers and patents rather than technology transfer. For public infrastructure GRIs, the number of patents held and the number of technology licensing office (TLO) personnel had a positive impact on the number of technology transfer cases, while none of the variables affected the revenue from technology fees. Thus, the number of patents is more favorable for technology transfer at this type of GRI compared to those that pursue a mission of basic future leading, possibly because their research focus is more related to engineering than to basic science. For industrialization GRIs, the number of TLO personnel affected the number of cases of technology transfer, and the number of patent registrations and TLO personnel affected the revenue from technology fees. The speed of technology development and industrial application is thus much faster in industrialization GRIs than in the other GRI types. The results of this analysis show that mission attributes are important drivers of technology transfer performance. This study thus offers policy implications by illustrating those different resources should be provided to different types of GRI to optimize their technology transfer performance.

Technology is developing rapidly. Every year, new products and services are produced that may affect the way employees work in organizations. Following and adapting to technological developments may be an individual challenge. People may experience anxiety in this process. Also, automation technologies may lead to a perception that individuals may lose their jobs soon. This may affect employees' choices in the possible human-robot collaboration process. In this study, we reached out to employees from various sectors via internet survey. The statistical analyses showed that concerns about the speed of technology affects employees' job insecurity caused by robots and the perception of job insecurity related to their work affects the level of automation they prefer in robots. New studies on this subject may contribute to the efficiency of human-robot cooperation which is expected to happen soon. Also, it may contribute to highlighting the anxiety experienced by employees during the development of technology.

The Decline of Architects: Can a Computer Design Fine Architecture without Human Input?

Architects are required to have knowledge of current legislation, ergonomics, and the latest technical solutions. In addition, the design process necessitates an appreciation of the quality of the space and a high degree of creativity. However, it is a profession that has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the pressure exerted by the development of information technology. The designs generated by computer algorithms are becoming such a serious part of designers’ work that some are beginning to question whether they are more the work of computers than humans. There are also increasing suggestions that software development will eventually lead to a situation where humans in the profession will become redundant. This review article aims to present the currently used, implemented, and planned computer technologies employed in the design and consider how they affect and will affect the work of architects in the future. It includes opinions of a wide range of experts on the possibility of computer algorithms replacing architects. The ultimate goal of the article is an attempt to answer the question: will computers eliminate the human factor in the design of the future? It also considers the artificial intelligence or communication skills that computer algorithms would require to achieve this goal. The answers to these questions will contribute not only to determining the future of architecture but will also indicate the current condition of the profession. They will also help us to understand the technologies that are making computers capable of increasingly replacing human professions. Despite differing opinions on the possibility of computer algorithms replacing architects, the conclusions indicate that, currently, computers do not have capabilities and skills to achieve this goal. The speed of technological development, especially such technologies as artificial superintelligence, artificial brains, or quantum computers allows us to predict that the replacement of the architect by machines will be unrealistic in coming decades.

PERUBAHAN SOSIAL (SOSIAL CHANGE) DALAM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM

Education and social change, both are interrelated with each other. Both influence each other, so that it has a wide impact in society. The link between education and social change is the occurrence of changes in the structure and function of the social system, which includes education, because education exists in society, be it formal, informal or non-formal education. The speed of technological development is one of the causes of social change experienced by society. The changes that are so visible are the problems of morals, morals, and human behavior that are increasingly varied in social interaction. This makes the position of Islamic religious education very important. Islamic education aims to achieve balanced growth in the child in his personality as a total human being through spiritual practice, rational intelligence, feelings and the five senses. Therefore, education should be a service for human growth (students) in all aspects of spiritual, intellectual, imagination, physical, scientific, linguistic, both individually and collectively and motivate all these aspects towards goodness and the achievement of perfection. Education must be able to answer all the problems experienced by society by updating all the roles and functions of education, such as the function of education as social change, the function of transferring cultural values ​​(cultural transformation), the function of developing and strengthening social relations.
