Human-in-the-loop error detection in an object organization task with a social robot.

In human-robot collaboration, failures are bound to occur. A thorough understanding of potential errors is necessary so that robotic system designers can develop systems that remedy failure cases. In this work, we study failures that occur when participants interact with a working system and focus especially on errors in a robotic system's knowledge base of which the system is not aware. A human interaction partner can be part of the error detection process if they are given insight into the robot's knowledge and decision-making process. We investigate different communication modalities and the design of shared task representations in a joint human-robot object organization task. We conducted a user study (N = 31) in which the participants showed a Pepper robot how to organize objects, and the robot communicated the learned object configuration to the participants by means of speech, visualization, or a combination of speech and visualization. The multimodal, combined condition was preferred by 23 participants, followed by seven participants preferring the visualization. Based on the interviews, the errors that occurred, and the object configurations generated by the participants, we conclude that participants tend to test the system's limitations by making the task more complex, which provokes errors. This trial-and-error behavior has a productive purpose and demonstrates that failures occur that arise from the combination of robot capabilities, the user's understanding and actions, and interaction in the environment. Moreover, it demonstrates that failure can have a productive purpose in establishing better user mental models of the technology.

Improvement of the enterprise’s financial state management

The reformation of the established economic systems requires from government agencies serious preparation of legislative, regulatory, personnel, credit and monetary policies, logistical flows of resources, etc. One of the most important requirements for the business organization management is the quality management of the financial state of the enterprise, ensuring self-sufficiency and self-financing. If these requirements are met, the business will be sustainable and developing. For this to be achievable, it is necessary to improve the decision-making quality. For this purpose, it is necessary to improve the level of training of financial block managers, who are able to analytically assess both the internal and external environment of the organization. The state of the internal environment and its development depends entirely on the owner (lessee). For this purpose, they have exhaustive internal information. The main source of information on the financial state is the balance sheet and its appendix. The task of organization’s financial management is to use it for complex analysis, first of all: analysis of balance sheet liquidity, financial stability, creditworthiness. The results of this analysis should be objective and real, which will allow making adjustments in the current activities, as well as in the near future. The purpose of this study is to use the technique of analyzing the balance sheet liquidity to identify the factors that have influenced the financial state of the enterprise and to develop recommendations for its improvement.

A lab-centric, workflow-based data management system for environmental DNA research

The adoption of environmental DNA approaches as a standard tool for biodiversity monitoring leads to the increase in the number of eDNA-based species occurrence records; however, considerable disparity remains in the nature and quality of associated information, much of it unpublished and/or poorly parametrised. A robust system for tracking biological materials from their point of origin through laboratory analyses is required to connect inferred taxon occurrences with analytical history and provenance data. The bulk of eDNA research is currently driven by small-scale operations where the tasks of digitisation, organisation and cross-referencing field records with laboratory analytical data and biomaterial sample location, are often performed manually and disconnected. We present an integrative, full-stack data management solution that provides a structured ontological concept, a minimalist data schema for eDNA research and a software application prototype designed to facilitate real-time digitisation, parsing, annotation and archival of eDNA data. The system tracks the provenance and analytical history of biological samples through a structured hierarchy of events, linked with associated digital file attachment archives, such as images and raw sequence files, and with inferred taxonomic occurrence records. The data entry process is compartmentalised and incorporated into the corresponding stages of standard operations used in fieldwork, biological collection management and laboratory analysis. Resulting data records can be integrated into various output formats required for large-scale analytics, publication and/or submission to global data aggregators. The prototype is implemented on the Microsoft 365 platform as a relational database (Access) linked to cloud-based data tables (SharePoint) and a set of associated data conversion spreadsheets (Excel). The system is designed primarily around the data management needs of small research labs; however, it is scalable to larger institutions and inter-institutional academic networks.

Influence of mentoring on the proactive behavior of new employees: moderated mediation effect of agreeableness.

In recent years, faced with a complex economic development environment and the evolving dynamics of the Chinese workplace, talent has become a precious resource that is invaluable yet scarce for every enterprise. As Generation Z employees have gradually entered the labor market, they contribute new perspectives and energies to various enterprises and pose unique challenges. The traditional step-by-step approach no longer meets the needs of today's businesses. Companies require more proactive talents to drive superior performance. Individuals with proactive behavior can effectively plan their career paths and are better equipped to fulfill core organizational tasks. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to effectively mitigate the perceived negative impacts of proactive behavior, encouraging individuals to exhibit more positive proactive actions. Based on the proactive motivation model, this study investigates the effects of mentoring, balanced psychological contract, proactive behavior, and agreeableness on the proactive behaviors of new employees. The research surveyed 417 new employees from Guangdong Province, China, who had graduated within the last three years, with a gender distribution of 49.4% male and 50.6% female. Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis, and the following results were obtained: First, mentoring positively affected the balanced psychological contract and new employees' proactive behavior. Second, mentoring positively affected the new employees' proactive behavior through the balanced psychological contract. Third, agreeableness played a moderating role in the relationship between mentoring and new employees' proactive behavior, and in the relationship between mentoring and the balanced psychological contracts. Finally, the positive indirect effect of mentoring through the balanced psychological contract on new employees' proactive behavior is positively moderated by agreeableness. The results of this study offer new insights into mentoring research for new employees and provide practical guidance for fostering the balanced psychological contract and proactive behavior among new employees. This research enriches the existing literature on mentoring for new employees by demonstrating the integral roles of agreeableness and a balanced psychological contract in fostering proactive behavior, offering valuable insights for organizational practices aimed at enhancing employee proactivity.

Implementation of Innovative Technologies During the Modernization of Existing Level Crossings for High-Speed Train Traffic

Implementation of Innovative Technologies During The Modernization of Existing Level Crossings for High-Speed Train Traffic Purpose. The main purpose of the study is to review innovative technologies for improving safety at the intersection of railways and roads. The object of research is the processes of functioning – railway crossings with different intensity and parameters of traffic, which require solving a fairly wide range of theoretical, practical and organizational tasks. Methodology. The study is based on the theory of mathematical modeling and numerical methods of computer calculations. The subject of the study is indicators that allow to assess the state of safety after modernization or new design solutions. Findings. A model of an improved method of the final coefficient is proposed, which allows predicting changes in the initial data and obtaining different values of the final coefficient, and thus planning measures to introduce innovative technologies that improve traffic safety at level crossings. Closing railroad crossings or switching to a two-level intersection of railroad and road (overpasses) is the only way to completely eliminate the risk. However, it is virtually impossible to close all railroad crossings immediately. In addition to financial and practical constraints, user convenience should still be a key factor. Using hierarchy, brainstorming, and other methods, a reliable set of indicators can be identified to assess and ensure the overall safety of passengers and vehicles related to all aspects of the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the rail network. The introduction of innovative technologies during the modernization of existing level crossings is an important step towards organizing high-speed train traffic. These technologies will increase the level of traffic safety at railroad crossings and protect people's lives. Originality. The scientific and applied problem of introducing innovative technologies during the modernization of existing level crossings for the organization of high-speed train traffic has been solved. Practical value. The implementation of a sound technology for the modernization of existing level crossings will provide a significant increase in traffic safety and throughput.

Hybrid multi-criteria decision making approach proposal for evaluating workloads of aircraft maintenance technicians.

Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) have the most difficulty in terms of total workload criteria working in line maintenance. This is a very important problem for the Aircraft Maintenance Organization. A systematic and scientific approach is required for its solution. This study proposes a new Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) based approach to evaluating the total workloads of AMTs to identify the most challenging AMT tasks in the aircraft maintenance organization. A new hybrid MCDM approach is proposed by integrating the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity (TOPSIS) methods to compare AMTs on the basis of workloads according to license categories. The hybrid method proposed in this study evaluates the total workload under three main titles: mental, physical, and environmental workload. Focusing on AMTs working in line maintenance of an aircraft maintenance organization, this study revealed that the most important workload criteria determined by the DEMATEL method are lower back strain, upper back strain, time pressure, and air temperature criteria. The results of the TOPSIS method showed that the license categories of AMTs are sorted according to the workloads as follows: A, B2, B1, and B1 + B2. The AMTs holding a "Category A" license have fewer workloads than the other categories. The findings of the study reveal some measures that might allow authorities to minimize the workload of AMTs. In addition, the study contributes to the literature because there are few studies that systematically analyze total workloads by using MCDM methods.

Digital Catalogue of Encolpion Crosses from the Collection of V. V. Tarnovskyi

Today, preserving Ukraine’s cultural heritage is an integral task for museum organisations and research institutions. Digitising museum collections has become an important and timely task for museum’s employees. The creation of 3D-models of one of the collections of crosses-encolpions of the 10th—13th centuries which is stored in the repository of the Chernihiv Historical Museum named after V. V. Tarnovskyi was no exception. It took place in 2023 with the support of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI). The aim of the project was to create a publicly available digital catalogue of the collection, which is posted on the website of the mentioned Museum named after V. V. Tanrnovskyi and on the sketchfaom/horm (fig.1). 53 encolpion crosses were in the archaeological part of the collection of V. V. Tarnovskyi at the end of the 19th century. Today only 21 encolpions from this collection are preserved in the Museum. Almost all reliquary crosses from the collection are dated to the period of Kyivan Rus, and only one item was an import from the Byzantine provinces. Various types of encolpions are represented: crosses with relief images (the most numerous), with blackened images and relief-blackened encolpion crosses. A rare type of reliquary crosses includes an encolpion back leaf with a relief image of John the Baptist with an accompanying inscription. Three-dimensional modeling and corresponding photogrammetric recording is quite widely used to digitise the smallest moving artefacts. Models are used for advanced recording and digital preservation of data, visualisation of research results, additional metrological studies, computer reconstructions, etc. Method of photogrammetric surveying was used during the creation of a digital catalogue of 3D-models of encolpion crosses. The result of the project is the creation of a multimedia visualised digital catalogue of the collection of encolpion crosses in free access on the global network, which presents a moving 3D-model of each arteifact and the main descriptive information. This will ensure the preservation of arteifacts in the digital dimension, their use in the Museum’s inteactive exhibitions, the creation of an accurate material copy of the arteifact, and allow remote analysis of materials by scientists for consultations, familiariszation wit artefacts, scintific analysis and writing of scientific articles.

Smart Urban Cadastral Map Enrichment—A Machine Learning Method

Enriching and updating maps are among the most important tasks of any urban management organization for informed decision making. Urban cadastral map enrichment is a time-consuming and costly process, which needs an expert’s opinion for quality control. This research proposes a smart framework to enrich a cadastral base map using a more up-to-date map automatically by machine learning algorithms. The proposed framework has three main steps, including parcel matching, parcel change detection and base map enrichment. The matching step is performed by checking the center point of each parcel in the other map parcels. Support vector machine and random forest classification algorithms are used to detect the changed parcels in the base map. The proposed models employ the genetic algorithm for feature selection and grey wolf optimization and Harris hawks optimization for hyperparameter optimization to improve accuracy and performance. By assessing the accuracies of the models, the random forest model with feature selection and grey wolf optimization, with an F1-score of 0.9018, was selected for the parcel change detection method. Finally, the detected changed parcels in the base map are deleted and relocated automatically with corresponding parcels in the more up-to-date map by the affine transformation.

Борьба советских военнопленных с нацистскими оккупантами в Севастополе в 1943–1944 годах

The paper deals with one of the little-studied issues in the history of the resistance movement during the Great Patriotic War, namely, the participation of Soviet prisoners of war in the anti-fascist struggle in the ranks of the Communist underground organization in occupied Sevastopol in 1943–1944. The purpose of this article was to study the formation and structure of the aforementioned organization, as well as the involvement in the antifascist struggle of Soviet prisoners of war, and to identify the effect of their activities on the general course of the anti-Hitler struggle in occupied Crimea. The objects of the research are the underground group headed by Nikolai Ignatyevich Tereshchenko (pseudonym Mikhailov), which was part of the Communist underground organization, and the places where it carried out its anti-fascist operations: camps for Soviet prisoners of war around Sevastopol and in the city itself, especially after Tereshchenko’s escape from German captivity. The study was performed within the framework of the large-scale All-Russian educational project “Without Statute of Limitations” aimed at preserving historical memory. Along with providing insights into the tragedy of the civilian population of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, the paper highlights the heroic deeds of the anti-fascist resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territory of the Soviet Union and demonstrates the contribution of individuals and groups to the defeat of Nazi Germany and its satellites. The author used documents that were declassified in the course of this project by the Federal Security Service Office for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and transferred to the Sevastopol Archives. The analysis revealed a significant feature of the Sevastopol underground: prisoners of war were one of the most important components of the Communist underground organization, performing risky and dangerous tasks deep behind enemy lines. According to the plan, in the event of a Black Sea Fleet landing, it was the prisoners of war who were supposed to be the striking force and spark an armed uprising in the occupied city. Consequently, it is concluded that Soviet prisoners of war were one of the combat weapons teams of the Sevastopol underground movement, which carried out various operations: reconnaissance, agitation and propaganda, as well as sabotage and subversion deep behind enemy lines.

FACTORS OF INFLUENCE ON THE COMFORT OF THE SPACE OF ADJACENT TERRITORIES OF MULTI-APARTMENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

The users of the space of the adjacent territories of multi-apartment buildings are residents of residential buildings located on certain land plots. In addition to the tasks of calculating quantitative indicators that determine the size of land plots and their boundaries, it is necessary to establish the factors influencing the living comfort of the space of adjacent territories of multi-apartment residential development. Thus, designers are faced with the tasks of spatial organization, taking into account regulatory requirements (quantitative indicators) and creating comfortable conditions (qualitative indicators). To create a comfortable space for the adjacent territories of multi-apartment residential buildings, various factors are important, from the level of amenities and microclimatic conditions to social factors that have an integrative effect on the spatial organization. The process of spatial organization of the adjacent territory of an apartment building should be carried out under conditions of participatory approach and taking into account the opinion of residents. The residential areas of mass housing development of the 60-90s of the twentieth century remain a difficult task of spatial organization of the adjacent territories of Ukrainian cities, and the regional center, the city of Poltava, is no exception.

Work Stress and Psychoactive Substance Use among Correctional Officers in the USA

Background: Correctional officers’ life expectancy in the U.S. is 59 years, compared to the population average of 75 years. Correctional officers have higher suicide rates than others and carry a higher risk for substance use. This study examined relationships between work stress, psychoactive substance use, and preferred venues for treatment. Methods: Secondary analysis was conducted on 2017–2018 data from interviews with correctional officers, randomly sampled from prisons within Massachusetts and Texas. Independent sample t-test, multinomial logistic regression, and mediation effect model were used for analysis. Results: Of the 1083 participants (mean age = 38.6), 71.4% were males, 62.9% were White, 17.0% were veterans, and 46.7% worked in maximum-security prisons, among which 70.8% used alcohol and 17.2% sedatives in the last month. While 52.3% did not prefer receiving stress management services from the department, 32.9% did not prefer receiving from outside. Alcohol and sedative use were associated positively with work stress and counterproductive workplace behaviors, and negatively with organizational citizenship and task performance. Preferred treatment varied based on work stress and substance use. Conclusions: Work stress and psychoactive substance use among correctional officers are multifactorial. Interventions should be tailored to officers’ needs and preferred treatment venues. Prison reform should address the needs of not only inmates, but also officers.

Analisis Gaya Kepemimpinan Kepala Sekolah dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Guru Sekolah Dasar

The aim of this literature study aims to determine, explain and analyze the leadership style of school principals in improving teacher performance. The method for writing literature studies uses a conceptual research approach relating to ideas and theories. The stages in writing a literature study include selecting a topic, searching for literature, developing an opinion, and a literature survey. Data analysis used used content analysis. The results of the literature study found that the principal's leadership style in improving teacher discipline is a storytelling style. Apart from the storytelling style, the principal also applies a situational style. The principal's leadership style in improving teacher performance is a selling (consultative) style by directing teachers to complete duties, the principal's leadership style in improving teacher abilities, namely the participative style applied during internal teacher council meetings and other meetings and the principal's leadership style in increasing teacher responsibility, is a delegative style, namely dividing authority among members to carry out organizational tasks. It is hoped that supervisors and school principals can provide encouragement and direction in the work of discipline, commitment, ability and responsibility of teachers effectively and efficiently to improve performance in schools.

A method for optimizing text preprocessing and text classification using multiple cycles of learning with an application on shipbrokers emails

Optimizing text preprocessing and text classification algorithms is an important, everyday task in large organizations and companies and it usually involves a labor-intensive and time-consuming effort. For example, the filtering and sorting of a large number of electronic mails (emails) are crucial to keeping track of the received information and converting it automatically into useful and profitable knowledge. Business emails are often unstructured, noisy, and with many abbreviations and acronyms, which makes their handling a challenging procedure. To overcome those challenges, a two-step classification approach is proposed, along with a two-cycle labeling procedure in order to speed up the labeling process. Every step incorporates a heuristic classification approach to assign emails to predefined classes by comparing several classification and text vectorization algorithms. These algorithms are compared and evaluated using the F1 score and balanced accuracy. The implementation of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in a shipbroker agent operating in Greece with excellent performance, improving organization and administration while reducing expenses.

Analyzing and Categorizing Knowledge Resources and Ranking of Knowledge Documentation Mechanisms in Iranian Medical Libraries

Background: Knowledge resources and documentation mechanisms are essential for managers' productivity. Thus, identifying and categorizing knowledge resources and developing documentation mechanisms are crucial organizational tasks. Objectives: This research aimed to analyze, categorize, and rank knowledge resources in Iranian medical science libraries. Methods: This exploratory and correlational study was conducted on 209 managers, heads, and deputies of central and hospital libraries in Iranian medical universities. Sampling was performed using a proportional stratified random sampling method, and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect the data. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was utilized for data analysis. Results: Knowledge resources in medical science libraries were categorized into implicit, explicit, and web-based knowledge. Regarding the stages of knowledge documentation, the results indicated that the distribution stage and its related mechanisms received the highest scores. In contrast, the storage stage and its mechanisms received the lowest scores. The path coefficient test showed that the highest path coefficient was related to implicit knowledge (0.68), while the lowest was related to web-based knowledge (0.13). Regression coefficients and Cronbach's alpha were higher than 0.7, and the average extracted variance (AVE) was higher than 0.5, indicating the adequacy of the measurement and structural model evaluation. Conclusions: Based on the results, Iranian medical science libraries lack specific mechanisms for documentation and identifying and categorizing knowledge resources. Therefore, this research provided a suitable foundation for these libraries to employ knowledge documentation mechanisms and discover knowledge resources. These libraries' sources of implicit and explicit knowledge and necessary mechanisms for recording, capturing, and documenting knowledge are not clearly defined. Consequently, organizational knowledge documentation is not conducted formally based on a knowledge management model. Therefore, the present research enables the identification of important knowledge acquisition resources and the methods and mechanisms for extracting and documenting knowledge.
