Embracing AI in Change Management

Abstract: This article discusses how organizations can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to support rather than hinder change management efforts amid technological transformation. It first establishes a research foundation on common sources of resistance to change, such as job insecurity, lack of understanding, and lack of involvement. The article then presents examples of how AI can augment traditional change management approaches to systematically address each resistance factor. Specifically, AI enhances two-way communication through personalized outreach and question answering. It also enables immersive, dynamic training solutions for ubiquitous, experiential skill development. AI fosters wider participation and feedback while monitoring employee well-being and performance. By addressing causes of resistance at each stage, AI strengthens critical aspects of communication, education, participation, and support to build understanding of changes rather than apathy. The article argues leaders who view AI as an ally in change management will empower their workforce through disruption.

Analyzing e-government agencies’ Twitter/X engagement: A case study of Nevada

This research aims to investigate the dynamics of interactivity between Nevada’s e-government and its citizens through the utilization of social media, with a specific focus on Twitter. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzed how Nevada state agencies engage with the public on Twitter, while concurrently assessing citizens’ responses through qualitative empirical research. These responses were categorized into content features, encompassing subjective opinions and sentiments (positive/negative), and structural features, comprising objective elements like special characteristics and multimedia components. Content analysis was employed to explore these features, leading to the identification of seven themes within a hypothesized two-dimensional framework, encompassing both the reflection of interactivity and the transmission of interactivity.<br /> Quantitative methods, specifically ANOVA and multiple regression analysis, were utilized to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that Nevada e-government agencies predominantly used Twitter for one-way information dissemination, with limited two-way communication with citizens. To enhance interactivity, it is suggested that e-government posts incorporate multimedia elements and external links to facilitate information dissemination. Public administrators in the State of Nevada should focus on providing valuable and beneficial government posts, encouraging citizens to respond and express their opinions. Continuous training for public administrators is recommended, given the rapid advancements in technology and social media platforms.<br /> Furthermore, adopting best practices from domestic and international social media companies is advised to stay innovative. Public administration should transition from merely governing individuals and information to becoming facilitators and moderators of discourse on social media platforms. State e-government can strengthen citizen interaction by consistently delivering valuable information on social media, thereby obtaining immediate feedback, and influencing public opinion.

Коммуникация студенческой молодежи с органами местного самоуправления в социальных медиа

Digital technologies, including in the field of communication between government bodies and the population, are actively used in the context of achieving the goal of digital transformation. Young people use social networks in their everyday lives as forms, mechanisms, technologies of self-realization, self-expression, selfsearching and simply life. Students are one of the most active groups of young people who not only master professional competencies in the learning process, but also get involved in the socio-political agenda of their city, region, country. How familiar, understandable and natural is it for them to interact with local government bodies in social networks? The scientific problem of the study is the lack of empirically substantiated information on the attitude of students to the potential of digital communication with local public authorities in social networks. The authors use the Mix research strategy. The accounts of municipal administrations of the Sverdlovsk region (N=73), as well as the accounts of heads of municipalities (N=71) in the social network VK were analyzed using parsing tools. The data are supplemented by the results of qualitative in-depth interviews with student youth (N=26). The analysis showed that young people do not consider social networks as a channel for dialogue and two-way communication with local governments due to low awareness of the existence of municipal administration accounts in social networks, lack of understanding of how to build a dialogue through this channel and low trust in this communication channel as effective, lack of examples of constructive solutions to issues through social networks. At the same time, the involvement of young people in communication in social networks is higher in the personal accounts of heads of municipalities, but, at the same time, there are fewer young people subscribed to such accounts. To build a dialogue with municipal authorities through social networks, it is necessary to demonstrate to youth the possibilities of communication with municipal administrations in social networks in the context of not only openness and transparency of power, but also involvement in the development and adoption of management decisions.

ҚАЗАҚСТАНДЫҚ МЕМЛЕКЕТТІК ОРГАНДАРДЫҢ ӘЛЕУМЕТТІК ЖЕЛІЛЕРДІ КОММУНИКАЦИЯ ҚҰРАЛЫ РЕТІНДЕ ПАЙДАЛАНУ ДЕҢГЕЙІ

Social Media is a very powerful tool for establishing communication between the population and the government, as well as improving the efficiency of Public Administration. The use of social media in public administration is a new phenomena with numerous advantages and disadvantages. Despite the fact that it became widely used in Kazakhstan in recent years, there has been little research on the subject. Therefore, this research work aimed at identifying the extent to which state bodies exploit the potential of social media to generate two-way communication in addition to delivering information, and to find out about citizen engagement with the government. The study employed two quantitative research approaches. The social media pages of regional governments (akimat of Turkestan region, akimat of West Kazakhstan region) on Instagram and Facebook were analyzed, and as the second method, a survey was conducted among users of social media in Kazakh and Russian (105 people participated). According to the study's findings, the government mostly uses the potential of social media to distribute information, rather than as a means of two-way communication. On the social media pages that were the object of the study, engagement of the population is very low, with only 3-4 comments written in each publication on average. Although these institutions create content on a regular basis, research has revealed that the great majority of content does not pique the public's attention or spark debate.

Systematic Survey Analysis of the Application of Artificial Intelligence Base Network on Grid Computing Techniques

A smart grid is a contemporary electrical system that supports two-way communication and utilizes the concept of demand response. In order to increase the smart grid's dependability and enhance the consistency, efficiency, and efficiency of the electrical supply, stability prediction is required. The true test for smart grid system designers and specialists will therefore be the increase of renewable energy. With the goal of integrating the electric utility infrastructure into the advanced communication era of today, both in terms of function and architecture, this program has achieved great strides toward modernizing and expanding it. In this study, researchers used the Systematic literature review method which identifies, evaluates and interprets all relevant research results related to certain research questions, certain topics, or phenomena of concern. The study review on how a smart grid applied different deep learning techniques and how renewable energy can be integrated into a system where grid control is essential for energy management. The article discusses the idea of a smart grid and how reliable it is when renewable energy sources are present. Globally, a change in electric energy is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prevent global warming, reduce pollution, and boost energy security.

Breast Cancer Prevention Education Through Community Empowerment and TPS (Transactional, Precise, and Skilled) Communication Model in Bontang City

The prevalence of breast cancer in Indonesia is still increasing. Datafrom the Global Cancer Observatory shows that the most common cancer case inIndonesia is breast cancer. Meanwhile, the incidence of breast and cervical cancerin Bontang City reaches 30% of the overall cancer data in Bontang (Akurasi.id,2024). Therefore, there is a need for a health promotion campaign and breast cancerprevention using simple communication methods. This program aimed to provideeducation to health cadres (PKK) in three sub-districts of Bontang, targeting 100participants. Five sub-districts were selected from each of the three sub-districts, withseven participants sampled from 10 sub-districts and six participants sampled fromfive sub-districts. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. The programemployed a participatory research approach based on community empowerment,using the TPS (Transactional, Precise, and Skilled) communication model. The programwas conducted in three stages. In the first stage, theoretical information relatedto breast cancer and its prevention was provided, along with 100 questions andanswers shared online beforehand. The second stage involved practicing breast selfexamination(SADARI). The third stage combined theory and practice, incorporatingeducational strategies through games and evaluations. The program results showedthat 83% of participants agreed that knowledge about breast cancer and its preventionwas necessary. The program successfully improved the knowledge and attitudes ofPKK/health cadres through an interactive, participatory approach. Although therewere barriers related to participant agility, support from trained organizers provedeffective in overcoming them. These findings confirm the importance of healtheducation that emphasizes two-way communication and breast cancer prevention.

More Than Altruism: Migrant and Refugee Civic Participation in South Western Sydney During the COVID-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT COVID-19 disproportionately affected migrant and refugee communities in Australia, highlighting outdated communication practices. Despite social media's potential for two-way communication, current health messaging remains top-down. Community leaders are often utilised as message amplifiers, neglecting their ability to create engaging content. This paper explores the multifaceted nature of civic engagement within CALD communities, moving beyond traditional notions of volunteerism. Drawing on three case studies, the paper highlights the varied forms of civic practices undertaken by CALD communities, including advocacy, community leadership, and cultural preservation. It examines the challenges and opportunities these communities encounter in navigating complex power dynamics and institutional structures. Through a critical reflection on positionality and the researcher's role, the paper advocates for a more nuanced understanding of civic engagement that recognizes the diverse contributions of CALD communities to Australian society. This paper concludes by calling for more research and participatory approaches to document migrant and refugee agency, discussing implications for policy and practice.

Social media’s role in public administration

This paper examines social media’s role in public administration. The purpose of this study is to find the extent of the role played by social media in public administration and then recommend and propose strategies to the public administrators. Social media enhances public administrators’ role and ensures that the public administration is working for the people and meeting all the needs of the people. The most important findings of the article are that public administrators are using e-governance and other modern digital technologies for communication, which have helped in decreasing corruption and bringing people closer to the government because they can use the government tools directly and there are possibilities of two-way communication. Corruption is one of the major problems, and most of the studies have shown that corruption can be reduced with the help of social media tools used by the public administrators. We propose a theory that governance framework is impacted by social media tools, e-governance methods, and open communication methods.

Signal-Interpreted Coloured Petri Nets: A modelling tool for rapid prototyping in feedback-based control of discrete event systems

Petri nets (PNs) are typically used for design and verification rather than direct control implementation. In this paper, aligning with the Industry 4.0 paradigm’s focus on flexible and reconfigurable control systems, we propose a modelling tool for rapidly prototyping feedback-based discrete-event control algorithms on programmable controllers such as PLCs or microcontroller boards. This modelling tool, named Signal Interpreted Coloured Petri Nets (SICPNs), aims to combine the formal modelling expressiveness of Coloured PNs with the capabilities of Signal Interpreted PNs, which are specialised in processing plant measurements and determining actuator commands. This contribution involves: (a) the formal definition of SICPN; (b) the presentation in the IEC61131-3 compliant SCL language of the so-called Token Player, a software entity designed to support feedback-based decision-making within the SICPN; (c) the validation of the effectiveness of the proposed formalism in controlling an extended configuration of the FESTO Modular Processing Station (MPS) using an Arduino microcontroller via two-way UART serial communications; (d) the modelling of a Digital Twin of the FESTO MPS testbed. The tests demonstrate that, during transitions, the colour and signal interpretation conditions enable the microcontroller to accurately schedule and dynamically reconfigure control actions while keeping the size of the PN-based controller small relative to the control problem’s complexity.

Оптимизация потребления сети MicroGrid с учетом потребностей на электроэнергию

Electricity grid is a product of urbanization expansion and rapid development of various infrastructures worldwide and over the past centuries. Although power companies are located in diverse regions, they typically use the same technologies to generate and distribute electricity. Proper implementation of the demand response (DR) program should be provided with some equipment to make subscribers aware of electricity price at any time and accordingly provide a proper response to the grid to reduce costs. This, in turn, reduces demand during peak hours. The intelligent grid, using the two-way communication network and the transmission of information to subscribers, and an advanced metering network provide a good structure for fully implementing DR programs. The present study applies a demand response economic model to implement DRs. The model uses price elasticity of demand, which provides subscribers a more precise consumption behavior regarding the factors influencing demand (e.g., electricity prices, bonuses, and fines). Applying the model to the microgrid, the operating cost significantly decreases in both operating modes.

Facebook in Local Governance: A Missed Opportunity for Two-Way Communication, Service Customization, and Democratic Enhancement

ABSTRACT This study assesses how local authorities utilize their Facebook-pages to promote civic involvement, enhance democracy, and tailor services to residents’ needs. Methodology includes questionnaires for Facebook-page admins and 431 residents in Israel, analysis of 1,600 posts from 32 municipal Facebook pages, and a “hidden-customer” experiment assessing responsiveness. Results indicate that while 81% of residents follow their municipal pages, only 26% engage actively, and merely 31.8% of inquiries are answered. A significant negative correlation between posting frequency and engagement was also observed. These findings collectively suggest an underutilization of Facebook’s potential for enhancing two-way communication and democracy.

A Deep Learning-Based Hybrid CNN-LSTM Model for Location-Aware Web Service Recommendation

Advertising is the most crucial part of all social networking sites. The phenomenal rise of social media has resulted in a general increase in the availability of customer tastes and preferences, which is a positive development. This information may be used to improve the service that is offered to users as well as target advertisements for customers who already utilize the service. It is essential while delivering relevant advertisements to consumers, to take into account the geographic location of the consumers. Customers will be ecstatic if the offerings displayed to them are merely available in their immediate vicinity. As the user’s requirements will vary from place to place, location-based services are necessary for gathering this essential data. To get users to stop thinking about where they are and instead focus on an ad, location-based advertising (LBA) uses their mobile device’s GPS to pinpoint nearby businesses and provide useful information. Due to the increased two-way communication between the marketer and the user, mobile consumers’ privacy concerns and personalization issues are becoming more of a barrier. In this research, we developed a collaborative filtering-based hybrid CNN-LSTM model for recommending geographically relevant online services using deep neural networks. The proposed hybrid model is made using two neural networks, i.e., CNN and LSTM. Geographical information systems (GIS) are used to acquire initial location data to collect precise locational details. The proposed LBA for GIS is built in a Python simulation environment for evaluation. Hybrid CNN-LSTM recommendation performance beats existing location-aware service recommender systems in large simulations based on the WS dream dataset.

The Medical and Physical Journal and the construction of medical journalism in Britain, 1733-1803.

Medical practitioners, inevitably scattered across the country, need frequent periodicals to communicate the latest medical information. Journals are an essential component of the infrastructure of modern medicine, yet they were slow to achieve firm roots in Britain during the eighteenth century, with few sustained quarterly periodicals and the only attempt at a monthly lasting a year. Then in 1799, Richard Phillips, owner of the Monthly Magazine, published the Medical and Physical Journal, the first sustained monthly medical journal, which lasted for thirty-four years. Ever since, Britain has never been without a monthly or weekly general medical journal. Responding to the need for a strong commercial focus, the Journal used a magazine format which blended reviews and abstracts of already published material with original contributions and medical news, and it quickly achieved a national circulation by close engagement with all types of practitioners across the country.Contrary to the historiography, the Journal was distinctly different from the contemporaneous monthly science journals. The key to success was two-way communication with all practitioners, especially the numerous surgeons and surgeon-apothecaries who were increasingly better trained and confident of their status. Much of the content of the Journal was written by these readers, and with rapid, reliable distribution and quick publication of correspondence, controversial topics could be bounced back and forth between all practitioners, including the distinguished. Initially, the editors tried to maximise circulation by avoiding any controversy, but this started to change in the first few years of the next century.

A rapid review of the benefits and challenges of dynamic consent

Dynamic consent is increasingly recommended for longitudinal and biobanking research; however, the value of investing in such systems is unclear. We undertook a rapid review of the benefits and challenges of implementing dynamic consent by searching five databases (Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature – CINAHL) for articles published up to May 2023 that report on participants’ or researchers’ experience of dynamic consent. From 1611 papers screened, 12 met inclusion criteria. Guided by thematic analysis with an inductive approach, we synthesised 31 benefits and 8 challenges. Benefits included: enhanced participant experience through improved consent management and tailoring; greater participant engagement and retention through increased autonomy, trust and communication; reduced costs and burden and increased accessibility and inclusivity. Participants and researchers also valued additional features that dynamic consent platforms facilitate such as two-way communication and return of research updates. The main challenges included the digital divide and consent fatigue. The papers gave recommendations to mitigate these challenges, for example by supplementing with other communication tools and allowing a broad consent approach, respectively. Overall, dynamic consent was described as a valuable consent approach with many benefits and some surmountable challenges. Most included literature was qualitative, so further research is needed to quantify the impact of dynamic consent on recruitment, retention, and participant experience. Further long-term investigations are necessary to explore whether participants want to and do change their consent over time, as well as the impact of dynamic consent on participant privacy.
