The integration algorithm of digital resources in business administration based on cluster analysis

The field of business management involves a large amount of data and information sources, including market data, customer data, supply chain data, etc. In order to quantify and analyze different resources, help enterprises better plan and allocate resources, and improve resource utilization efficiency, a clustering analysis based digital resource integration algorithm for business management is studied. Build a business management digital resource integration framework, including data layer, integration layer, and storage layer, to integrate and store data from different sources of business management databases, thereby facilitating unified management and utilization of digital resources by enterprises. The data layer collects data from different business management databases and stores it in the database according to different sources; The integration layer preprocesses the collected data, simply fixes errors and missing information in the data, and improves data quality. Adopting a feature extraction method based on the projection direction uncorrelation strategy of the labeled power set conversion method, the useful feature information of digital resources in enterprise management can be effectively extracted; Based on the two-step clustering analysis method, business management digital resources are clustered according to similar characteristics to complete the classification and integration of business management digital resources, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization; The storage layer adopts the Security Information Diffusion Algorithm (IDA) storage model to store integrated and classified digital resources managed by enterprises, ensuring data security and effectively preventing data leakage and illegal access. The experimental results show that the digital resource structure of business management integrated by this algorithm is clear, with a data redundancy of less than 8% and a difference of less than 11%. The time consumption for data integration is less than 2.11 minutes, indicating good resource integration ability.

Awareness and utilisation of digital resources among postgraduate students in selected universities in North-Central, Nigeria

This study investigated awareness and utilization of digital resources among postgraduate students of selected universities in North-Central Nigeria. A total of 92 participants who were registered library users took part in the study. Their mean age was 31.69years (SD=6.54years). Fifty-three (57.6%) were male while 39 (42.4%) were female. A 35-item structured questionnaire tagged “Awareness and Utilization of Digital Resources Questionnaire” (AUDRRQ) was used to collect data from participants who were sampled from the universities using the random sampling technique. Findings showed that participants were very much aware of availability of web-based resources (Google, yahoo, and Alta Vista search engines) but less so of other digital resources including full- text articles, bibliographies, data base and Open Access Resources. Further findings revealed that the most utilized digital resources include data bases, books, catalogues and journals. Also, it was found that the internet was the most frequently used digital resource on a daily basis. The problems encountered in the use of the digital resources by the participants were slow internet speed, lack of access to full-text articles, physical inconveniences, lack of online resources in related topics, unorganized environment and difficulty to read through screen. The results of the three hypotheses revealed that; there is a significant positive relationship between awareness and utilization of digital resources; there are significant problems associated with accessing digital resources and there is a significant negative relationship between utilization and problems of accessing these resources by the participants. It was concluded that postgraduate students investigated are aware and utilize some but not all digital resources to a significant level and that they encounter significant problems in accessing the digital resources. It recommended that university libraries be better funded to enable them provide better resources and services that will enhance awareness and usage of digital resources in their libraries.

Platform business model innovation in the digitalization era: A “driver-process-result” perspective

In the digitalization era, business model innovation (BMI) has become the critical keystone for platforms to gain a sustainable competitive advantage in turbulent environments. However, platform BMI is currently not clearly understood. Through a longitudinal case study of a Chinese financial service platform, this paper integratively addresses issues related to platform BMI in terms of drivers, change process, and value co-creation dynamics based on the “driver-process-result” perspective. The findings indicate that platform BMI type experiences a change process from Focus BMI to Complex BMI at different development stages. At different stages, platform BMI is highly interconnected because of the continuous accumulation and utilization of digital resources. The two drivers, external pressure and management cognition, act as trigger and filter, respectively, in the process of platform BMI. These results also suggest that platforms have successively formed three different value co-creation models in the BMI process.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Molecular diagnostics utilizes structural and functional fundamentals of molecular biology and finds its scope in clinical education for disease diagnosis and monitoring, and evaluation of non-disease status. Time and financial constraints make molecular biology education challenging for both teachers and students. Advances in information technologies have helped teachers to provide a rich resource to students which if properly utilized is expected to generate better teaching-learning outcomes. However, the pattern of utilization of digital resources by students and its impact on their performance is still unknown. The aim of this study was to assess students’ behavior to Blackboard resource utilization and its impact on their performance in molecular biology course. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study including all the 46 students (9 graduate and 37 undergraduate students; 14 distant and 32 regular students) enrolled for molecular biology course in the year 2017 and assessed the associations between blackboard resource visits and students’ final weighted total grades. Blackboard resource visit variables included “Tegrity” viewing duration, viewing times, and contents viewed (“My Grades”, “Announcement”, “Discussion”, “Contacts”, “Content Item”). Results Among all students, the most and least visited contents were “Content Item” (261 average hits) and “Contacts” (1.28 average hits), respectively with similar patterns of the visit among all student sub-categories. The longest average Tegrity viewing duration (25 hours) and the highest average Tegrity viewing times (56 hits) were noted among undergraduate distance students. The average grade was higher among graduate students than undergraduate students. The overall blackboard resource visit and the individual category visit among graduate and undergraduate students had no association with students’ final weighted scores. Conclusion Our findings have important implications for the utility of blackboard resources among graduate and undergraduate clinical laboratory science students. Similar assessments including students from many different years are recommended to generate more accurate evidence.

Currently, digital resources are not available in about 70% of school libraries. However, nearly 50% of school library administrators indicated they would like to utilize digital resources. Additionally, it was found that around 70% of school library administrators consider reading of digital content to fall within the category of "reading".

A Perspective on Childhood and Adolescence:On the Roles of Focus, Learning, and Social Imperative

Over time, as technology became elevated to the point of being the new deity for marketers , gadget lovers, and younger generations, I watched as student behavior among teens and pre-teens morphed dramatically, not in evolutionary ways but revolutionary, condensed into just a few years. We have the notion now about generational categories, the “boomers”, Gen X, Millennials, and so on, and now the “Millennials” are all on the side of the former ‘digital divide’ where, as one student said to me, “We don’t know anything else! What do you expect? You had television and walkman, we have Internet ...”And devices. [1] And sharing and collaboration styles both helped and hindering ‘processing’, focus, goal setting, and utilization of digital resources and distant people. Technology does great things, and that’s without even getting into the huge benefits being seen in hospitals VR for burn treatment pain relief, and PTSD among other applications and seen in everyday life. It seems I go from “early adapter” to Luddite every few years, as I react to some of the excessive reliance on tethered devices and always-on screens, or grapple with computer-based, now device-based behavioral addictions.
