Precision Beekeeping Systems: State of the Art, Pros and Cons, and Their Application as Tools for Advancing the Beekeeping Sector.

The present review aims to summarize the more recent scientific literature and updated state of the art on the research effort spent in adapting hardware-software tools to understand the true needs of honeybee colonies as a prerequisite for any sustainable management practice. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis was also performed with the aim of identifying the key factors that could support or impair the diffusion of precision beekeeping (PB) systems. Honeybee husbandry, or beekeeping, is starting to approach precision livestock farming (PLF), as has already happened in other animal husbandry sectors. A transition from the current paradigm of rational beekeeping to that of precision beekeeping (PB) is thus expected. However, due to the peculiarities of this species and the related farming practices, the PB technological systems (PB systems) are still undergoing a development process that, to some extent, limits their large-scale practical application. Several physical-chemical (weight, temperature, humidity, sound, gases) and behavioral traits (flight activity, swarming) of the hive are reviewed in light of the evolution of sensors, communication systems, and data management approaches. These advanced sensors are equipped with a microprocessor that records data and sends it to a remote server for processing. In this way, through a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system, the beekeeper, using specific applications on a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone, can have all the above-mentioned parameters under remote control. In general, weight, temperature, and humidity are the main hive traits monitored by commercial sensors. Surprisingly, flight activity sensors are rarely available as an option in modular PB systems marketed via the web. The SWOT analysis highlights that PB systems have promising strength points and represent great opportunities for the development of beekeeping; however, they have some weaknesses, represented especially by the high purchasing costs and the low preparedness of the addressed operators, and imply some possible threats for beekeeping in terms of unrealistic perception of the apiary status if they applied to some hives only and a possible adverse impact on the honeybees' colony itself. Even if more research is expected to take place in the next few years, indubitably, the success of commercial PB systems will be measured in terms of return on investment, conditioned especially by the benefits (higher yields, better colonies' health) that the beekeeper will appraise as a consequence of their use.

Assessing the Potential and Risks of AI-Based Tools in Higher Education: Results from an eSurvey and SWOT Analysis

Recent developments related to tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) have raised interests in many areas, including higher education. While machine translation tools have been available and in use for many years in teaching and learning, generative AI models have sparked concerns within the academic community. The objective of this paper is to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of using AI-based tools (ABTs) in higher education contexts. We employed a mixed methods approach to achieve our objectives; we conducted a survey and used the results to perform a SWOT analysis. For the survey, we asked lecturers and students to answer 27 questions (Likert scale, free text, etc.) on their experiences and viewpoints related to AI-based tools in higher education. A total of 305 people from different countries and with different backgrounds answered the questionnaire. The results show that a moderate to high future impact of ABTs on teaching, learning and exams is expected by the participants. ABT strengths are seen as the personalization of the learning experience or increased efficiency via automation of repetitive tasks. Several use cases are envisioned but are still not yet used in daily practice. Challenges include skills teaching, data protection and bias. We conclude that research is needed to study the unintended consequences of ABT usage in higher education in particular for developing countermeasures and to demonstrate the benefits of ABT usage in higher education. Furthermore, we suggest defining a competence model specifying the required skills that ensure the responsible and efficient use of ABTs by students and lecturers.

An integrated approach for evaluating and improving the performance of hospital ICUs based on ergonomic and work-motivational factors

The intensive care unit (ICU) holds significant importance in hospitals. Primarily concerned with monitoring and providing care to critically ill patients, the ICU has proven effective in reducing mortality rates and minimizing complications of diseases, thanks to the highly complex and specific measures taken within this department. Considering the unique contributions made by the staff in this unit, its performance assessment can help improve patient care and satisfaction. This study presents a framework that utilizes ergonomic and work-motivational factors (WMFs) to assess the performance of various ICUs. Upon the identification of these indicators, a standard questionnaire is developed to collect the required data. The mean efficiency score of the units is then determined using the data envelopment analysis (DEA). The model is validated using the principal component analysis (PCA). Ultimately, the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) matrix is employed to formulate an appropriate strategy and offer improvement measures to the managerial team to enhance their ICU performance. The proposed framework can be applied to evaluate the performance of other healthcare departments. Among the studied ICU centers, including general ICU, isolation ICU catering to individuals with infectious diseases, cardiac care unit (CCU), and neonatal ICU (NICU). NICU and general ICU have the best and worst performance in terms of macro- and micro-ergonomic and motivational indicators, which are on average 0.826% more elevated and 0.659% lower, respectively. According to the performed sensitivity analysis, the ICUs in question demonstrate the most appropriate and inappropriate performance about the indicators of “knowledge, situation assessment, and situation analysis” and “work stress”, respectively.

CASH WAQF LINKED DINFRA (CWL-FRA) AS WAQF INNOVATION MODEL INTEGRATED WITH INFRASTRUCTURE INSTRUMENT FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Cash waqf is a form of contemporary waqf that has great potential in the modern world. In Indonesia, despite its potential of 180 trillion per year, cash waqf collection, management, and distribution are not optimal. Nonetheless, the infrastructure sector in Indonesia faces obstacles, particularly in terms of funding. The innovation of the CWLFRA (Cash Waqf Linked DINFRA) model is, therefore, a solution to these two issues, as the proposed model is the result of an integration between efforts to optimize cash waqf and infrastructure financing via the Infrastructure Investment Fund (DINFRA). In this CWL-FRA innovation, waqf funds will be allocated to the mauquf 'alaih from the profits of infrastructure investment funds, which will become a source of long-term usable assets. As a result, the purpose of this academic paper is to develop a model capable of bolstering the ecosystem of Islamic social financial institutions and maximizing the potential achievement of cash waqf in Indonesia as a means of implementing sustainable finance and an effective instrument in reviving national economy through infrastructure development. In addition, this study seeks to determine the viability of the potential for developing the productivity of cash waqf in an effort to increase the effectiveness of achieving cash waqf to support economic sustainability with infrastructure potential. Nine respondents representing academicians and expert practitioners from both the waqf and infrastructure sectors filled out questionnaires to collect data. According to the results of the Delphi test, all respondents believed that there was a relationship between the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) indicators, indicating that this model is implementable. Moreover, based on the level of agreement of respondents, this model has the potential to contribute positively to national economic recovery, become a sustainable source of social funds, optimize the potential of waqf in Indonesia, strengthen the ecosystem of waqf social finance institutions, and improve the quality of management and maintenance of Indonesia's infrastructure. These findings demonstrate that integrating financial waqf with existing public infrastructure could positively affect the sustainability of national economic development. The novel aspect of this paper is the proposed cash waqf management system, which can serve as a useful reference for policymakers and waqf institutions seeking to develop a more effective waqf concept in terms of collection, administration, and distribution. Consequently, this study aims to demonstrate the potential for cash waqf, which can be integrated with DINFRA's product through the innovation of the CWL-FRA model, to become an investment instrument and offer a diversity of options to the waqf community.
