Understanding the landscape: assistive technology and work challenges for people with disabilities in Saudi Arabia

Barriers, such as inadequate accessibility and accommodation, may impede employment access and progression for people with disabilities (PwDs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This study examined how assistive technology (AT) utilization influences the employment experiences of PwDs in KSA. We explored AT types in use and whether gender, age, and disability type shape AT effectiveness. We sought to identify challenges hindering AT adoption, and effectiveness in workplaces. We explored potential remedies through government and corporate actions. A qualitative case-report study was conducted with 13 PwDs (10 males, 3 females; age range, 26‒47 years) of varying occupations. Diverse disabilities were represented: cognitive impairment, speech impairment, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), visual impairment, mobility impairment, hearing impairment, learning disability, dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), physical impairment, and anxiety disorder. Individual interviews were conducted in Arabic with open-ended questions addressing employment opportunities, work challenges, the importance of employment, and employment-related factors. Mixed descriptive and inductive methods were used to identify themes. The participants also completed a 21-item Likert-type standardized exploratory questionnaire. The findings indicated that workplace inclusivity of PwDs and widespread AT adoption in KSA are hindered by a lack of awareness, stigma, accommodation costs, limitations of technical compatibility or lack of standardization, and inadequate AT training and technical support. Greater disability inclusion support in workplace environments, with tailored assistance and comprehensive accessibility measures, is needed in KSA. Companies should pursue accommodation individualization and actions aimed at improving awareness and reducing stigma. Governments should pursue legislation that supports AT adoption and awareness campaigns.

High energy conversion efficiency and cycle durability of solar-powered self-sustaining light-assisted rechargeable zinc–air batteries system

The issue of energy supply in outdoor and remote areas has become a significant challenge. Solar-powered self-sustaining rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZABs) offer a viable energy solution for off-grid regions. However, there has been no specific study on the technical compatibility and adaptability of the solar power generation system and RZABs system, as well as the efficiency of energy conversion and storage in such solar-powered RZABs systems. To address these challenges, this study developed a solar-powered self-sustaining photo-assisted RZABs system based on a photo-responsive polyterthiophene (pTTh) cathode. This system employs pTTh with photo-responsive properties as the cathode catalyst for RZABs, which not only significantly reduces the overpotential of the cathode but also enhances the performance of the RZABs and the overall energy conversion efficiency (reaching 16.2 %). In practical applications, the system exhibits excellent stability, operating continuously within a wide temperature range of -15 to 40 °C, and demonstrating a stable cycling operation capability of up to 33 days. It provides reliable, low-cost power support for electronic devices such as mobile phones, flashlights, GPS units, and small pollutant detection systems, greatly improving the practicality of these devices in off-grid areas.

Agronomic Evaluation of Common Bean and Tef (Eragrostis tef) Varieties in Double Cropping System

Double-cropping cereals with legumes is a usual practice by smallholder farmers in southern Ethiopia. However, crop compatibility and sequencing are the major problems for their soil fertility and profitability. Thus, it was useful to conduct experiments on double cropping systems that enable the farmers more profitable on small land to reduce crop failure with current climate change. Thus, an experiment was done to evaluate the effects of the common bean as double cropping on the productivity of tef and to evaluate the economic and technical compatibility of common bean-tef in a double cropping combination to improve production at Wondo Genete district during the cropping season of 2021 using RCBD design. The experiment consisting of twelve treatments including three common bean and three tef varieties was sowed as the preceding and succeeding crop respectively and three sole tef variety to see the compatibility of common bean and tef varieties. The preceding crops showed a non-significant difference in days to maturity, seed per pod, and hundred seed weight, but the biomass and grain yield of Remeda were significantly higher than Awash-2 however, it had no significant yield difference with Hawassa Dume. The variance analysis showed that all the growth and yield parameters of tef were significant such as days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, number of tillers per plant, tiller number, and grain yield (p<0.05). However, the yield parameters like dry biomass, straw yield, and toughened seed weight for tef had no significant difference.

Perspectives from teachers and managers on STEM classrooms and STEM teaching equipment

Abstract This study examines the perceptions of teachers and educational managers regarding the significance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms and the effectiveness of STEM educational tools in enhancing practical skills, fostering creativity, and promoting interdisciplinary understanding. A survey was administered to 300 teachers and managers from schools in Nghe An Province, Dak Lak Province, and Hanoi, where STEM education programs have been implemented. The study employed a convenience sampling method, utilizing two questionnaires to assess the perceived importance of STEM classrooms and the effectiveness of STEM teaching equipment. The findings indicate that a substantial majority of respondents (96.67%) believe that STEM classrooms play a crucial role in enhancing students' practical skills, while 96% assert that these classrooms promote creativity through hands-on projects. Additionally, 95.34% of participants emphasized the importance of STEM classrooms in advancing interdisciplinary scientific knowledge. However, the survey also identified limitations in the adequacy of STEM teaching equipment, with technical compatibility (71.67%), connections between general and practical equipment (71.34%), and clear labeling and information (71.00%) rated as particularly significant. This research supports the prevailing view that STEM classrooms are essential for developing practical skills, creativity, and interdisciplinary knowledge. Nonetheless, the study suggests that improvements are needed in the effectiveness of STEM teaching equipment, such as ensuring alignment with curriculum objectives, enhancing interdisciplinary integration, and providing clear labeling and usage guidelines. It is recommended that policymakers prioritize investments in standardized and comprehensive STEM equipment and design classrooms that support practical, creative, and interdisciplinary learning.

Screening Weldable Metal Electrodes for Ag2Se Thermoelectric Devices below 300 °C.

Thermoelectricity has been considered as the most important solution of generating electricity, particularly from low-grade heat below 300 °C. Despite efforts in recent years on exploring alternative materials to only commercialized Bi2Te3, the practical implementation of these new materials has been hindered by inadequate investigation into device design. Given that the utilization of weldable electrodes offers advantages in technical compatibility for a large-scale assembly of thermoelectric elements into modules, a thorough investigation into the potential of weldable metal electrodes at T < 300 °C is imperative. In this work, the diffusion of 11 kinds of thermoelectric materials in common weldable metals (Ni, Fe, Cu, and Ag) was screened. Ag is sorted out as a promising weldable electrode that can directly bond to thermoelectric Ag2Se in this temperature range, leading to a minimization of an interfacial contact resistivity down to 11 μΩ cm2 in a design of the Ag/Ag2Se/Ag structure. The conversion efficiency of ∼3% at ΔT of 95 K with an excellent stability indicates Ag2Se as a top alternative to n-type Bi2Te3 for low-grade heat recovery.

The engineering face-lift of the 32m dish: technical upgrades of Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO)

Ghana's 32-meter radio telescope, inaugurated in August 2017, was once a redundant telecommunications dish that underwent conversion. Prior to this transformation, feasibility studies were conducted to assess the dish's structural integrity, technical compatibility, and economic viability. These studies aimed to determine if the conversion project could be technically achieved given the available technology, expertise, and resources. This paper delves into the engineering considerations surrounding structural, mechanical, software, control and monitoring, radio frequency, and timing frequency reference requirements that distinguish the operation of a radio telescope from its former role as a satellite earth station. Significant components such as the azimuth bearing, sub-reflector support, cable wrap, and electrical motors underwent replacement. Additionally, a new C-band receiver, radio frequency controller, active hydrogen maser timing frequency, and software were developed. Testing protocols to meet science requirements for both single-dish observations and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) are also discussed. The conversion process proved to be lengthy and encountered numerous unforeseen circumstances, yet it provided invaluable learning experiences for a developing country like Ghana.

Techno-economic assessment and optimal design of hybrid power generation-based renewable energy systems

This study presents a techno-economic analysis of five different hybrid energy systems (HES)-based renewable energy sources (RES) in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. It aims to provide valuable insights into the economic feasibility, technical compatibility, and environmental implications of these systems. To carry out this analysis, hybrid optimization of multiple energy resources (HOMER) software is used. Parameters such as total net price cost (TNPC), cost of energy (COE), initial capital cost (ICC), energy generation and consumption, excess and unmet energy, renewable energy (RE) fraction, and emissions were considered to assess the different HES configurations. The findings demonstrate that the grid-connected photovoltaic/wind turbines (PV/WT) system is the best option in terms of economic perspective with TNPC and COE of $213,099 and $0.0480/kWh, respectively followed by grid-connected PV/fuel cell (FC)/WT and stand-alone PV/diesel generator (DG)/WT/battery systems. The PV/battery and PV/FC/WT/battery green hybridization are the highest cost-effective due to their high initial and replacement battery costs. The grid-connected PV/WT and PV/DG/WT/battery systems are the most efficient in meeting load demand, while the PV/battery and PV/FC/WT/battery hybridization have the highest excess and unmet energy. From an environmental perspective, the stand-alone HES consisting solely of RESs, i.e., PV and batteries, has the lowest emissions, making it one of the most environmentally friendly options. Following closely is the PV/FC/WT/battery configuration, which also demonstrates low emissions. On the other hand, the grid-connected PV/WT system exhibits the highest total GHG emissions, rendering it the least environmentally friendly option. This research provides decision-makers, researchers, and stakeholders with valuable information for selecting the optimal hybrid energy systems, taking into account economic, technical, and environmental considerations.

A field assessment of child abuse investigators' engagement with a child-avatar to develop interviewing skills

BackgroundChild investigative interviewing is a complex skill requiring specialised training. A critical training element is practice. Simulations with digital avatars are cost-effective options for delivering training. This study of real-world data provides novel insights evaluating a large number of trainees' engagement with LiveSimulation (LiveSim), an online child-avatar that involves a trainee selecting a question (i.e., an option-tree) and the avatar responding with the level of detail appropriate for the question type. While LiveSim has been shown to facilitate learning of open-ended questions, its utility (from a user engagement perspective) remains to be examined. ObjectiveWe evaluated trainees' engagement with LiveSim, focusing on patterns of interaction (e.g., amount), appropriateness of the prompt structure, and the programme's technical compatibility. Participants and settingProfessionals (N = 606, mainly child protection workers and police) being offered the avatar as part of an intensive course on how to interview a child conducted between 2009 and 2018. MethodsFor descriptive analysis, Visual Basic for Applications coding in Excel was applied to evaluate engagement and internal attributes of LiveSim. A compatibility study of the programme was run testing different hardware focusing on access and function. ResultsThe trainees demonstrated good engagement with the programme across a variety of measures, including number and timing of activity completions. Overall, knowing the utility of avatars, our results provide strong support for the notion that a technically simple avatar like LiveSim awake user engagement. This is important knowledge in further development of learning simulations using next-generation technology.

A Review of Improved Cooker Stove Utilization Levels, Challenges and Benefits in Sub-Saharan Africa

Many attempts to enhance cooking stoves have been implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). These programs aim to limit indoor air pollution, improve the lives of women, reduce the usage of fuel (charcoal), which reduces deforestation, alleviate the financial burden of energy costs on low-income people, and improve user health by lowering environmental toxins. Other objectives include reducing global warming and improving the social well-being of people in developing countries. The efficiency of the Improved Cookstove programs has gotten mixed evaluations. Several of the projects fell short of their planned objectives, however some did. The use, challenges, and benefits of programs to enhance cookstoves across sub-Saharan Africa are examined in this essay. It starts by looking at a few specific Cookstove technologies, which are divided into groups according on the fuels they burn and whether or not they are mobile. It has been found that factors such as the technical compatibility of the stoves with social expectations, the conformity to local needs and cultures, the attitude of the users, who are frequently reluctant to adopt new technology, and the price of the stove all affect how challenging the programs are. Also, "bottom-up" strategies ensure the program's success by involving users and regional artisans in the creation of a self-sustaining sector.

Another pathway to complementarity: How users and intermediaries identify and create new combinations in innovation ecosystems

The value that users might derive from products and services increasingly depends on their complementarity with other products and services. Whereas prior work has emphasized how firms and complementors design for complementarity, we shift attention to how complementarity arises in use. This study is situated in the smart home market where digital products offer an unbridled range of conceivable combinations, and users may combine products in their system of use that are not initially designed for complementarity. Through a multi-method multiple case study, we distinguish a user pathway besides a producer pathway to establishing complementarity. Complementarity presupposes both the identification of complementary combinations as well as creating technical compatibility between products. In the producer pathway, firms focus mostly on creating technical compatibility while in the user pathway, users identify complementary combinations that go beyond those foreseen by firms. Intermediary toolkits can assist users in creating combinations, and we find that, ultimately, the user pathway also facilitates the producer pathway. Our findings offer insights into the important role of users and intermediaries in innovation ecosystems and extend the scope of user innovation.

On the issue of technical compatibility of electrotechnical complexes and systems of aircrafts

BACKGROUND: Among the variety of different types of technical compatibility (TC), design, technological, operational and thermal types have a high priority. The reason is that these TC types are commonly the most problematic and typical for the majority of modern machines.&#x0D; AIMS: Two approaches to development of new prospective projects of autonomous electrotechnical complexes (ETC) of aircrafts, such as particular system design (PSD) and complex system design (CSD) are considered.&#x0D; METHODS: Analysis and synthesis of elements of the ETC of aircraft, as well as a systematic approach to design.&#x0D; RESULTS: Details and advantages of the CSD are revealed. Problems and conditions, making practical implementation of this approach possible, are given. All notions and considered design approaches find their application in development and modernization of aircrafts (AC) as well as ETCs. Various types of compatibility, such as operational compatibility, design compatibility, thermal compatibility, size compatibility, energetic compatibility and informational compatibility are outlined. Generally, TC research by engineers and scientists gains more relevance of solving the problem of modern machines improvement. Scale and relevance of this problem only at focal points of ensuring some TC types are given in the article, as more detailed consideration is problematic even at a monograph level and impossible at an article level because the number of researched TC types goes beyond 40.&#x0D; CONCLUSIONS: For the complete analysis of thermal mode of the whole AC, it is necessary to have the equation system consisting of the equation for the aircraft as a whole and equations for all onboard elements. Such equation system becomes extremely bulky even for small ACs. Therefore, approximate methods of analysis and calculation are commonly used. The most spread approximate method is consideration of only steady-state thermal processes for various AC operational modes. Final target of this approach is to obtain sufficient quantity of thermal modes points, enough to approximate the whole thermal mode of an aircraft.

Factors that Play a Role in Improving the Efficiency of Continuous Audits using Computer Assisted Audit Techniques in enterprises including healthcare units

Internal auditing is a key function of any business enterprise, including healthcare units, being responsible for highlighting and bringing to notice of the upper management a fair evaluation of the organization’s internal control environment. With stakeholder satisfaction, compliance requirements, and value delivery increasingly taking centre stage, it functionally requires many organizations to adopt and implement a continuous auditing solution. Continuous auditing solutions often call for the adoption of various computer-assisted tools and techniques to help get the job done. The usage of these tools and techniques is subject to many different factors. This paper explores some of the factors that play a role in improving the efficiency of continuous audits using such tools and techniques. Auditors widely recognize Computer-assisted auditing techniques (CAATs). However, CAATs are not being used as widely as expected. The technology–organization–environment framework is used to identify and assess the organisational elements that influence CAAT utilisation after adoption. The purpose of this study is to see if using CAATs helps the auditing process. The usage of CAATs by audit firms and audit performance are both moderated by top management commitment. The data for this study was collected from Jordanian audit companies’ auditors. According to the conclusions of the investigation, CAAT adoption is determined by the cost–benefit of technology, company size, preparedness, and competitive pressure. The technical compatibility and complexity of client accounting information systems, on the other hand, appear to have little impact on CAAT utilisation. Top management has a direct impact on audit performance and is a key influencer in how CAATs are used by auditors. However, there is no correlation between audit firm usage of CAATs and audit performance (top management audit firm’s use of CAATs). Furthermore, the adoption of CAATs helps the whole audit process of audit companies.

Proposal of a New Approach for Protected Deposit Area Registration in Public Administration Information Systems—A Case Study from Slovakia

Perception of the meaning and wider context in recording important information about objects that represent strategically valuable data is the basis for increasing their value and binding in order to strengthen their credibility. In recent years, emphasis has been placed on digitization and electronic data collection and their interpretation, which ensures the promotion of real-world objects. The protection of mineral wealth and the creation of protected deposit areas (PDAs) is often limited to an analogue form of documentation ensuring the raw material potential of that country. The often inefficient and insufficient way of managing data in public information systems (ISs) and their subsequent use in the customary procedural stages of other decision-making procedures of state authorities leads to the loss of relevant information in connection with such protected areas. This paper on specific studies emphasizes the need to use and follow procedures in strengthening the Slovak national concept based on data and technical compatibility supporting the exchange of information, which will support the expansion of the IS environment with data in connection with the protection of mineral wealth in the form of PDAs. As a result of the existing legislation and historical background, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the contexts that fundamentally enter into the content of data in the ISs of individual institutions recording fundamental information about objects in connection with the protection of deposit areas. The methods used and the analysis of input data on PDAs from the relevant information systems pointed to insufficient and incomplete records and presentation of data regarding PDAs. In this document, a solution is proposed which, as a result, consolidates the disparate way of registering PDAs and presents an organizationally more profitable way of exchanging data. It was found that only modern ISs and their filling with data, respecting the rules and principles of standardization, prioritizing the content of established, and validly reflecting data, are a high-quality basis for an interoperable environment containing the necessary information, for example, in the establishment of three-dimensional records.

Data-driven urban regeneration: university housing in the ex-Corradini factory in Naples

This paper develops a decision-making methodology for urban regeneration projects based on the use of data-driven procedures and technologies for the conversion of former industrial areas to residential use. The proposed approach is aimed at the elaboration of an information management protocol for the generation of design scenarios, starting from the assessment of the regulatory and technical compatibility of the possible transformations with the existing constraints. This paper describes the application of the methodology to several buildings in the ex-Corradini complex in Naples to be used for different types of residential functions, in a framework of high uncertainty and complexity, also due to the inaccessibility and abandonment of the site.

The factors which influence the continuance intention of teachers in using the interactive digital identification key for trees in elementary school science education

It is hard to imagine biology education without the identification of the species of interest, mostly with the implementation of a dichotomous key. Digital identification keys (DIKs) have been developed and made available to teachers in Montenegro. We investigate the factors, which influence teachers’, who had applied the DIK, in their continuing intention to use them in primary schools. The modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), continuance theory, and expectation-confirmation Theories were used for the identification of the factors which influence the teachers’ decision about whether to continue to use the DIK. 232 teachers from Montenegro participated in this research. The results indicate that the perceived pedagogical impact and user interface quality has the greatest influence on teachers’ continuance intentions (CIs). Performance expectations, effort expectations and technical compatibility have a moderate influence and management support, personal innovativeness and students’ expectations have a low influence on teachers’ CI of using DIK.

The Critical Factors Impacting Artificial Intelligence Applications Adoption in Vietnam: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) is the transformation of inanimate objects into intelligent beings that can reason similarly to humans. Computer systems are capable of imitating a number of human intelligence functions, such as learning, reasoning, problem solving, speech recognition, and planning. In this regard, artificial intelligence applications have been developed to assist corporations and entrepreneurs in making business decisions. Hence, the aim of the study is to investigate the adoption of AI applications at the Vietnamese organizational level. Using the core structures of the technology–organization–environment (TOE), the theoretical model was constructed based on how technical and environmental elements influence companies’ technological innovation adoption decisions. Ten critical factors related to AI adoption are identified. To test the model, data were obtained from 193 senior managers who are directly in charge of information systems in both private and public companies in Vietnam. Subsequently, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that technical compatibility, relative advantage, technical complexity, technical capability, managerial capability, organizational readiness, government involvement, market uncertainty, and vendor partnership are significantly related to AI application adoption. Interestingly, the study results indicated that the relationship between organization size and AI adoption was not statistically significant. Therefore, the suggested adoption of the AI application could contribute to the existing research on the adoption of AI through the TOE. Finally, the significant government law implications and future research directions are further addressed.
