Development Of Bilingual Getrans Teaching Aids To Understand Geometry Transformation Material

This research aims to develop bilingual getrans teaching aids that can be used to visualise the concept of geometry transformation. The urgency of this research lies in the effort to facilitate students' understanding of abstract concepts in geometric transformations where the development of getrans teaching aids allows students to learn actively, involving physical and visual, which is believed to improve understanding and retention of concepts. Utilizing the 4D model, the Research and Development (R&D) approach is applied. The four phases of the 4D development model are defined, designed, developed, and disseminated. The findings showed that students had trouble grasping the idea of geometric transformation at the define stage. At the design stage, preparation for the development of bilingual getrans teaching aids was carried out. At the development stage, getrans props were made as well as validation of video results by experts and limited trials to students. Then at the dissemination stage, the revised video results were disseminated based on expert advice. The conclusion of this research is that bilingual getrans teaching aids can be used for learning mathematics which students can better understand changes in position, rotation, reflection, or dilation of objects in geometry with better.

Advancements in Umbilical Cord Biobanking: A Comprehensive Review of Current Trends and Future Prospects.

Biobanking has emerged as a transformative concept in advancing the medical field, particularly with the exponential growth of umbilical cord (UC) biobanking in recent decades. UC blood and tissue provide a rich source of primitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for clinical transplantation, offering distinct advantages over alternative adult stem cell sources. However, to fully realize the therapeutic potential of UC-derived stem cells and establish a comprehensive global UC-biobanking network, it is imperative to optimize and standardize UC processing, cryopreservation methods, quality control protocols, and regulatory frameworks, alongside developing effective consent provisions. This review aims to comprehensively explore recent advancements in UC biobanking, focusing on the establishment of rigorous safety and quality control procedures, the standardization of biobanking operations, and the optimization and automation of UC processing and cryopreservation techniques. Additionally, the review examines the expanded clinical applications of UC stem cells, addresses the challenges associated with umbilical cord biobanking and UC-derived stem cell therapies, and discusses the promising role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing various operational aspects of biobanking, streamlining data processing, and improving data analysis accuracy while ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. By addressing these critical areas, this review seeks to provide insights into the future direction of UC biobanking and its potential to significantly impact regenerative medicine.

Trends in the Literature About the Adoption of Digital Banking in Emerging Economies: A Bibliometric Analysis

This study examines the trends in the literature about adopting digital banking in emerging economies. It is based on the concepts of digital transformation and technological adoption, which significantly impact the development of the banking industry. A quantitative approach was used through a bibliometric analysis using data from Scopus to achieve the objective. The search equation allowed 118 publications to be extracted and analyzed. The results show that digital banking in emerging countries is a growing field of research that has driven the introduction of new information technologies. The perceived usefulness of digital banking is a key factor in promoting its adoption in the market. Attributes such as security and trust were identified as affecting the level of user satisfaction. Most studies are based on technological adoption, where perceived risk, usefulness, and ease of use are key to understanding the intention to use these technologies. Some countries’ concerns about financial inclusion, cyber security, and trust in financial technology are evident. While digital banking has the potential to increase the coverage of financial services, there are concerns about cybersecurity risks and user data protection.

Merging the interests of governments and Western monopolies in the field of ICT: modern geopolitical models

The events in Ukraine have become evidence of a radical transformation of ideas about what armed conflicts are and who participates in them. The issue of the legal and political status of technology companies as participants in armed conflicts and actors in international politics has become especially acute. Unfortunately, in the modern scientific literature, this issue is not only not resolved, but also not properly posed. The exponential growth of the foreign policy influence of large IT enterprises leaves no doubt that they are closely merging with the public sector and at the same time developing their own geopolitical agenda. In the context of the active development of the digital economy and the formation of a global information field of non-governmental actors, there is a demand for an analysis of the synergy of states and corporations with an outlet for forecasts of the development of various strategies for merging governments with technology giants. In the dialectic of relations between Western public authorities and IT giants, both sides have effective resources to contain each other. However, much more valuable and important for political analysis is the search for their “common interests” and an assessment of the prospects for cooperation within the framework of the “win/win” strategy. Such an analysis allows not only to assess the “boundaries of friendship” between Western business and government, but also to use the contradictions in their geopolitical rhetoric to promote the Russian international digital agenda. The author analyzes various concepts of public authority transformation in the context of the digital economy, offers an original vision of strategies for merging the interests of Western IT giants and governments both in areas of activity and in geopolitical tasks, and predicts possible scenarios for such cooperation.

Transforming Management Education: Insights from Social‐Ecological Systems and Social Innovation Research

AbstractIt is clear that contemporary management education (ME) needs to be transformed to tackle complex social‐ecological crises effectively. However, the concept of transformation is often ill‐defined in the context of ME; while there is also a lack of understanding about what concrete transformation trajectories (also called scaling pathways) are available to management educators. This conceptual paper adopts a social‐ecological systems lens to shed light on the basics of transformation (the why, what, where, when and who); combined with a social innovation lens to provide more clarity on transformation's practical specificity (the how). Rooted in a vision of ME aimed at cultivating social‐ecological flourishing (i.e. a civic ME), this paper integrates different theoretical lenses to assert the possibility of–and outline trajectories for–transformation in the business school. This work contributes to developing a social‐ecological systems approach to ME; while proposing multiple concrete scaling pathways to support a civic transformation of ME. It highlights that ME stands at a crossroads: management educators could passively wait until transformation is forced by the unintended crossing of tipping points; or deliberately and collectively navigate it. Ultimately, transformation emerges from the delicate interplay of structure (i.e. inescapable structural barriers) and agency (i.e. intentional transformative actions).

Human in Loop Machine Learning: A Paradigm Shift

This paper explores the transformative concept of Human-in-Loop (HIL) Machine Learning, which integrates human expertise into the machine learning process to enhance data quality, model accuracy, and ethical decision-making. Human interaction is added to traditional machine learning steps such data collection, preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and deployment through continuous feedback loops, data annotation, and model change. This integration makes use of human intuition and experience to enhance algorithm performance and model interpretability, hence mitigating the drawbacks of entirely automated approaches. HIL Machine Learning allows AI systems to adjust to changing obstacles and makes more accurate forecasts by promoting human-machine interaction. This study emphasizes HIL Machine Learning as a reliable method for successfully handling dynamic, complicated problems across a range of areas.

Digital transformation: The geopolitical-organizational nexus

This special issue aimed to attract articles situating digital transformation in the geopolitical-organizational nexus. Unlike innovation and change panaceas (or fads) like business process reengineering (BPR) which became popular in the 1990s, digital transformation is a multi-level concept. Extending beyond the redesign of organizational and business processes, the analytical boundaries of digital transformation include ecosystems, organizational networks, business and operational processes, organizational identities, governance structures, and quality/cost dynamics. However, the extant literature on digital transformation continues to use the organization as the primary unit of analysis. Definitions of digital transformation vary widely, with some not dissimilar to the BPR era. The papers included in this special issue provide analytical and empirical examples on the pervasive effects from contemporary digital technology for society, organizations, and citizens. Future work which isolates the digital technology artefact would benefit from further refinement of the digital transformation concept. A starting point is to revisit the digital technology evolution over past decades which reveal the inflection points of technological change, specifically for mainframes, PCs, and the Internet. Such analysis will increase our understanding and contextualization of past panaceas like BPR for generating new insights on how digital technologies are front and center in debates on digital transformation.

HTD-TS3: Weakly Supervised Hyperspectral Target Detection Based on Transformer via Spectral-Spatial Similarity.

As an advanced technique in remote sensing, hyperspectral target detection (HTD) is widely concerned in civilian and military applications. However, the limitation of prior and heterogeneous backgrounds makes HTD models sensitive to data corruption under various interference from the environment. In this article, a novel united HTD framework based on the concept of transformer is proposed to extract [HTD based on transformer via spectral-spatial similarity (HTD-TS3)] under weak supervision, which opens up more flexible ways to study HTD. For the first time, the transformer mechanism is introduced into the HTD task to extract spectral and spatial features in a unified optimization procedure. By modeling long-range dependence among spectra, it realizes spectral-spatial joint inference based on long-range context, which addresses the issues of insufficient utilization of spatial information. To provide samples for weakly supervised learning (WSL), the coarse sample selection and spectral sequence construction in an efficient way are proposed, which makes full use of limited prior information. Finally, an exponential constrained nonlinear function is adopted to acquire pixel-level prediction via combining discriminative spectral-spatial features and coarse spatial information. Experiments on real hyperspectral images (HSIs) captured by different sensors at various scenes verify the effectiveness and efficiency of HTD-TS3.

Transforming the Future of Digital Health Education: Redesign of a Graduate Program Using Competency Mapping.

Digital transformation has disrupted many industries but is yet to revolutionize health care. Educational programs must be aligned with the reality that goes beyond developing individuals in their own professions, professionals wishing to make an impact in digital health will need a multidisciplinary understanding of how business models, organizational processes, stakeholder relationships, and workforce dynamics across the health care ecosystem may be disrupted by digital health technology. This paper describes the redesign of an existing postgraduate program, ensuring that core digital health content is relevant, pedagogically sound, and evidence-based, and that the program provides learning and practical application of concepts of the digital transformation of health. Existing subjects were mapped to the American Medical Informatics Association Clinical Informatics Core Competencies, followed by consultation with leadership to further identify gaps or opportunities to revise the course structure. New additions of core and elective subjects were proposed to align with the competencies. Suitable electives were chosen based on stakeholder feedback and a review of subjects in fields relevant to digital transformation of health. The program was revised with a new title, course overview, course intended learning outcomes, reorganizing of core subjects, and approval of new electives, adding to a suite of professional development offerings and forming a structured pathway to further qualification. Programs in digital health must move beyond purely informatics-based competencies toward enabling transformational change. Postgraduate program development in this field is possible within a short time frame with the use of established competency frameworks and expert and student consultation.

포스트 시네마 환경에서의 관객 현전에 관한 연구

This study defines the diversified media environment of contemporary visual art as a post-cinema environment and analyzes how the spatial expansion of the screen and the conceptual transformation of the camera have occurred within it. By examining the altered methods of image production, mediation, and reception, the research reveals the presence of the spectator as a noncorporeal subject in the visual field of image experience. The changes in the screen and the audience have been driven by the transition to multi-screen and multimedia environments, leading to a transformation in visual perception through physical environments that interact with images in expanded spaces. Additionally, the post-cinema camera, as a non-human agency, has broadened the scope of image production and mediation through computer imaging processes and digital technologies. It not only intervenes between the unexperienced realities beyond human cognition and the audience as the experiencing subject, but also produces and mediates images for machines as machine vision, facilitating the process of converting representation into information. Furthermore, this study argues that the issue of spectator presence in the visual field can be understood through the paradox of absence and presence in the technological context of 21st-century media. It asserts that the spectator emerges as an “electronic body” that transcends the physical body in the image reception environment. The concept of the audience's electronic body introduces perspectives on the coding and informatization of the body due to technological interventions by computers and media, as well as the hybrid sensations resulting from the interaction between bodies and devices, proposing a new notion of corporeality for non-corporeal subjects in the new media environment.

UMA LEITURA DA EVOLUÇÃO DO CONCEITO DE CARTOGRAFIA OCORRIDA ENTRE 1960 E 2000

From the 1940s to 2000, reflecting on the conceptual transformations in the field and their relationship with technological advancements. Initially, the UN provided the definition of Cartography, but from 1965 onwards, the ICA assumed this responsibility. Over the span of 40 years, these definitions evolved considerably. In 1992, Fraser Taylor, as the president of the ICA, introduced a significant update by incorporating the term "geoinformation" into the definition. This modification broadened the scope of Cartography to include other forms of spatial representation. However, in the late 1990s, there was a regression when the ICA simplified the definition of Cartography, restricting it to the study of maps. This dynamic illustrates that the evolution of scientific debates does not always follow a linear trajectory, often oscillating between advancements and regressions. Consequently, it is concluded that ongoing conceptual debates around the definition of Cartography are essential to keep pace with emerging technological and theoretical innovations in the field. Keywords: Epistemology. International Cartographic Association. History of Cartography.

تأثير التحول الرقمي على كفاءة الموارد البشرية في المملكة العربية السعودية

Digital transformation is one of the most significant modern mechanism concerned with restructuring the traditional labor market into digital work as a result of keeping pace with technical and technological progress. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Vision 2030 emphasized the activation and development of digital transformation in all government and private sectors, therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the impact of digital transformation on the efficiency of human resources, and determine the potential benefits of adopting digital transformation on the development of human resources.

Degradation of Concrete Cement Stone Under the Influence of Aspergillus niger Fungi

The concepts of physical and chemical transformations occurring in cement concrete under conditions of microbiological deterioration can be used to control the processes of the destruction of cement concretes in order to ensure the required durability and to predict the service life of products. The study of changes in the structural and phase composition of cement stone made of Portland cement grade CEM I 42.5N in the process of fungal deterioration for 6 months when moistened, as well as a sample of a concrete wall exposed to fungal microorganisms for 20 years, was carried out. Diffractograms of the studied cement stone samples contain a large number of pronounced narrow peaks and indicate a highly crystalline structure of phases with the presence of an X-ray amorphous phase of calcium hydrosilicates and tobermorite gel in the cement stone. Changes in the structure of cement stone under the influence of fungi are confirmed by the data of a derivatographic analysis. A decrease in the content of calcium hydrosilicates and ettringite, as well as other crystalline phases in cement stone, leads to a decrease in compressive strength by about 15% over 6 months of fungal degradation. Similar changes after 20 years of exposure to microorganisms suggest deterioration in the strength characteristics of concrete.

How the Rejection of Incompatible Speech Acts Transforms Human Cognition

AbstractEngaging with the literature on transformative conceptions of rationality, I argue for the following position on the way reason transforms human cognition: when the capacity for knowing that one ought to do something is directed at one's own speech acts, an initially domain‐specific and practical grasp of genus/species relations – manifest in the ability to select among the various permitted ways to do as one judges one ought – becomes a mechanism through which the reflective study of genus/species relations hones the domain‐general classificatory abilities that accompany adult human language use. In this fashion, our instinctive behaviors may be transformed: we might cease to respond to events simply as (e.g.) fearful or enraging, recognize these motivations as cases of cowardice and recklessness, and begin to treat them as opportunities for courage and restraint.

Breaking the cycle: Presenting insights and strategies to overcome violent conflicts hindering social cohesion and progress in South African communities

ABSTRACT This study addresses the pervasive issue of violent conflicts that undermine social cohesion and hinder progress within South African communities. Thus, the study explores the root causes and contributing factors of these conflicts to provide a foundation for developing effective, evidence-based intervention strategies. The investigation revealed five critical themes: (1) community awareness and perceptions of safety, (2) communication and information to ensure safety, (3) causes of violent conflicts in South Africa, (4) community engagement and membership influence and (5) Five Year/third-quarter 2019/2023 Crime Statistics. These themes underscore the complexity of violent conflicts in post-apartheid South Africa, where the persistence of a violent culture, pervasive corruption, and connections between criminal syndicates and government officials exacerbate the situation. The methodology used is desktop research that combined critical review of literature, reports and discussions of identified themes. The study is centred around the concept of Conflict Transformation, which plays a crucial role in fostering relationships and facilitating reconciliation processes in society. This includes grassroots initiatives and the participation of leaders at different levels. The study concludes that that violent conflicts can be mitigated through informed actions and strategic interventions. With these insights, this study offers recommendations as a framework for policymakers and practitioners to develop targeted measures aimed at fostering a safer, more cohesive society. The goal is to break the cycle of violent conflicts to pave the way for sustainable social progress in South African communities.

Intertextual analysis as a tool for examining processes of memory transformation in literature: Types, figures, and functions

This article connects the theory of intertextuality and the concept of memory transformation. The transformations of mnemonic contents and the various forms of presentation that they have gone through before they crystallized in the texts are mostly invisible. In order to uncover these processes, Astrid Erll calls attention to the “travel” of memories. Based on intertextual theory, my analysis aims to distill categories for examining the transformative character of literary memory. For this purpose, I analyze the following three types of transformative memories— transgenerational postmemory, affiliative postmemory, and co-memoration—based on appropriate case studies. The categories of intertextual analysis that will be worked out in the article are as follows: The elements of intertextuality, the communicative acts between the previous and the manifest text that can be described as figures of intertextuality shaped by the specificity of each type of transformative memory; and the meta-content of intertextual transformation, that is, the characteristic purpose or quaestio that each memory transformation involves and that can be seen the function-aspect of intertextual communication.
