Full textAbstract:
Modern socio-economic and technological systems are constantly becoming more complex, and as a consequence, the risks of their failures are increasing. Effective management requires tools appropriate to the new challenges. Complexity science offers a number of concepts that individually help to cope with increasing complexity and its effects to a greater or lesser extent. However, a more effective approach is their skillful synthesis, which allows to cover the system holistically, to identify the origin of potential crises and catastrophes that would otherwise remain «hidden», and to outline preventive corrective measures. The article presents a review and comparative characterization of paradigms of perception of complex systems extrapolated to the sphere of management. Using multilayer causal analysis, the case of two high-profile disasters that occurred with Boeing airplanes is considered. The concept of «orphan systems» is proposed, which allows to catch weak signals about the dangerous drift of the system, to react in time and take an appropriate managerial actions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper articulates an emergent complexity approach to the frontline manager-practitioner relationship within the context of a managerialist culture and the tensions between new public management (NPM) and social work ethical codes. Drawing from New Zealand perspectives but with transnational applications, a conceptual ‘coalface’ practice model for social work is proposed. Three constituents comprising professional, organisational and political cultures in which social care managers operate are extrapolated to construct the model: [1] the pervasive reality of managerialism; [2] workplace tensions arising from interrelationships between ethics, the organisation and the individual worker; and [3] an emergent, organic perception of agencies as organisations, integrating ‘whole systems’ thinking and complex adaptive approaches.The paper analyses the argument advanced by NPM theory of the interoperability of public and private management and proposes a team design that meets managerialist output and performance expectations whilst also creating an emergent framework enabling team leadership flexibility. The paper suggests that high performance can be integrated with a management approach predicated on social work values, thus offering potential solutions to job stressors and challenges facing frontline team leaders, managers, supervisors and practitioners who function in a managerialist environment.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Effective Product Assortment Planning is critical for fast-fashion products like clothing and accessories with short lifecycles, a large number of Stock Keeping Units and seasonality of the assortments. Traditional product-based demand forecasting approaches using past data and repeatability of purchase are not very effective for them. Emerging PAP optimization models focus on customizing retail assortment at store levels and developing attribute-based approaches. However, these models are highly complex, thus restricting their utility in the field. This paper presents a model to help plan the supply chain under these conditions. Design/methodology/approach The authors of this paper developed a model with a modified approach to make it computationally less complex and cost-effective for implementation. The authors developed a Mixed Integer Programming model and solved a Linear Programming relaxation of the model to obtain an effective solution. Findings Authors validated the model utilizing field data and inputs that could capture merchandiser experience, consumer preferences, retailer constraints and environmental factors for a national brand of leather accessories sold through multi-brand retail outlets and found that the model showed an improvement potential of over 25 % in the objective. Originality This is an original research conducted by the author, including all fieldwork, pilot implementation and analysis. Since the model was prepared from field data and also implemented to see its effectiveness, it represents a practical and usable model by the Industry straightaway. However, future researchers may implement it in multi-vendor, multi-outlet situations and update the model in accordance with fresh outputs. Research limitations/implications The model requires further testing and refinement to establish its usefulness, as the current testing was on a small set of data of a representative category. However, considering the similarities in the consumer perception and preferences, retailer constraints and environmental factors, the authors believe this approach of combining data mining with a linear integer model has the potential to deliver superior performance on most categories of fast fashion products. Practical implications Through this model, the authors attempted to close a significant gap in research concerning replenishment models for fast-fashion products applicable in emerging countries. Since critical parameters like changing customer preferences, and variation in demand due to seasonality, discounting systems etc., have been factored in a while developing the present model, it can be easily extrapolated to multiple suppliers and multiple numbers of retailers.

Full textAbstract:
Despite potent theory to contrast transactional governance in “markets and hierarchies,” the variety of extant channel systems strains this dichotomy. The authors examine three contractually integrated channel systems in the hardware industry: wholesale voluntary chains, dealer cooperatives, and independents. They extrapolate from a transaction cost perspective to frame hypothesized differences in decision making structures and competitive strategic postures across relational forms. Results from a sample survey of retail informants are generally supportive.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the transferability of a conflict management model developed for business organizations to a temporary and international research project to serve as a support tool for internal communication and in case of conflict. Design/methodology/approach The authors analyze the transferability of a conflict management model that was initially developed for business organizations to an international, inter-organizational and temporary research project that is third-party funded. Using a case study, a participatory approach is applied with both qualitative and quantitative methods used. Findings The transferability is possible but only with the adaption of conflict prevention. The project’s international and inter-organizational structure further results in a need for decentralization of conflict management responsibilities and diversification of conflict management approaches. Time, financial resources and a high autonomy of cooperation partners limit the degree of participation in the design process. Research limitations/implications The research is based on a case study. Research on comparative design processes are needed to verify or extrapolate findings and to help assess the impact of conflict management systems in other large research projects. Originality/value This paper contributes to the body of knowledge on conflict management systems. By implementing a conflict management system in a temporary, international and scientific project environment, this case study identifies contextual factors relevant for the system design and provides initial test results. As conflict management systems in research projects are not yet prominent, this adapted model of conflict prevention and management can benefit similar projects.

Full textAbstract:
Amodal completion (AC) is analyzed, by looking at its historical roots and persisting conceptual difficulties. Looking at the origin of the concept, it becomes clear that it is not equivalent to perception of occluded parts. The role of fragment incompleteness is discussed, to clarify that it cannot be taken as a necessary factor for eliciting AC. The standard view of AC, depicted as a set of processes that extrapolate from veridically represented image fragments, is evaluated and rejected on the basis of evidence that AC modifies also modal parts. The theoretical importance of AC phenomena and their potential to reveal the inner forces of perceptual organization are emphasized, with specific reference to the minimum principle. Instances in which AC might be expected but does not occur are examined, to define the limits of such an integrative process.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to provide new insights into information systems (IS) project management success. Even though many studies found in the literature show results of software development projects, few studies address the success of IS (socio-technical) projects. Responses to an international survey, regarding 472 projects in total, showed that IS project management is achieving high levels of success; yet, only a minority of projects end without changes in scope, schedule or cost. Furthermore, the results show that changes in scope, schedule or cost are frequent in this kind of project and do not significantly affect the perception of success. These results provide researchers and practitioners with a better understanding of IS project management success evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Top management support (TMS) is considered as a critical factor for the success of information systems (ISs) projects. The literature shows that TMS has a positive impact on achieving success in ISs’ projects in different aspects. However, the enabling factors for TMS in complex ISs’ projects have barely been tested, something which this study aims to rectify. Design/methodology/approach This study has designed a research model based on structural equation modelling (SEM) with the intention of analysing the perception of IS end users regarding the effect on TMS of the following factors: technological complexity and training and organizational communication. The application of the study has focused on an enterprise resource planning–open source software (ERP-OSS) environment. Findings The findings show how end users have a perception that organizational communication and training have a positive relation with TMS. Based on these findings, the authors have suggested several practical considerations. Research limitations/implications There are two limitations to this study. First, this study is based on the perception of complex IS/IT users. It would be interesting to add the perception of top managers to provide more solid findings. The second limitation is that this study has not suggested any additional potential factors which could affect TMS. Practical implications First, this article provides a study of the key role of TMS when an organization needs to implement a complex IS/IT. Second, organizations must develop mechanisms for increasing training and communication relating to the new complex IS/IT projects. Finally, the complexity of an IS/IT project does not constitute an enabling factor incentivizing TMS and should therefore not be a determining factor in increasing TMS within an organization selecting an IS/IT. Originality/value This study contributes to advancing theory in the field of TMS in information systems projects.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze, for both parties of a distribution channel, to what extent each party perceives the counterpart’s use of performance measurement systems (PMS) and how this perception affects the perceiver’s own use of these systems, for either decision control or decision management. Design/methodology/approach The paper proposes a conceptual model tested at different levels using structural equations models. A case study uses survey data from 107 distributors and 91 manufacturer managers. Findings PMS allow evaluation by the manufacturer and daily management by distributors; both uses of PMS can be simultaneous and complementary. Results show that each party’s perception of the counterpart’s use contributes to its own use, although real uses do not significantly influence these perceptions. Research limitations/implications The results must be interpreted with caution because the sample is small. This study calls for further data collection in real situations with larger samples, and for eliminating the influence of the distribution channel type. Further work is needed to analyze other constructs driving the relationship between real use and perception. Originality/value This study’s originality comes from the conceptual model, data set, and levels of analysis. Decoupling real use and perception, it challenges the prevailing assumption that managers accurately perceive counterpart managers’ use of PMS. Analyzing at both group and individual levels, it extends the more usual dyadic studies by recognizing that any given manager’s perception may be almost wholly formed by his/her interaction with a group of individuals.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the use of insurance and environmental management systems (EMSs) to prevent and control the risk of pollution. To assess this issue, a series of interviews with insurers was conducted to find out their opinions and attitudes on EMSs about insurance for pollution. The main scope of the research is composite insurance, public liability and EMSs, within the UK market. Insurers' believed that EMSs could theoretically help insureds and insurers, respectively, prevent and control, and assess and settle pollution. However, there is little evidence to support this assertion. Moreover, EMSs assess pollution incompletely from the insurers' point of view. Furthermore, insurers' initial assessment and post loss investigation of pollution are generally not well developed, and there is little knowledge about and poor recognition of EMSs. Economic, practical, legal and political issues hinder insurers' ability to respond positively to EMSs. Therefore, insurance and EMSs are insufficiently developed to play a lead role in lessening the risk of pollution.

Full textAbstract:
Although there has been a number of articles written about the possible use of expert systems by management accountants, there has been limited research to support such predictions. The primary purposes of this paper are to examine management accoun-tants use and perceptions of expert systems. A survey instrument was designed to eli-cit responses (Likert scale and open-ended) about management accountants' perceptions of the current and future use of expert systems and to determine their knowledge, interest and involvement with such systems. The findings of this study indicate that although respondents are moderately interested and involved with expert systems, they have a limited knowledge of those systems. The respondents do agree that expert systems will be utilized more in the future, and that management accountants will be involved in the development and use of expert systems. Expert systems will be utilized to reduce inventories and improve productivity. The respondents, however, do not agree that expert systems are currently used for the management accounting applications used in this study. Also, their expectations regarding the current and future use of expert systems are significantly different. Expectations of the future use of expert system can be found in management accounting literature over the past fifteen years. The findings of this study indicate prior expectations have not materialized.

Over the past decades, numerous researchers and practitioners have focused on the use case modeling for information technology project management. However, few studies have examined ways to improve the discovery phase of an information technology project through modifying use case diagrams. In this work, a mental model approach is suggested to integrate a visualization stage into the discovery phase by creating a conceptual mental model before constructing the use case diagram. It has been established that designing a mental model by visualizing the end user’s needs improves the ability of junior analysts to capture, analyze, and determine the user and functional requirements of information systems. Moreover, junior business analysts can extrapolate from the workflow presented in the conceptual mental model to determine the system’s actions to benefit the associated actor, which must appear in the use case diagram. The paper describes the design of user precedents through a conceptual mental model. Altogether, the proposed approach’s effectiveness in capturing, analyzing, and determining the requirements of information systems is measured in terms of accuracy, completeness, and simplicity.

Full textAbstract:
Building automation is concerned with closed- and open-loop control of building services such as heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning, lighting and shading. The ultimate goal is to reduce energy consumption while providing comfort for the occupants. However, ensuring human comfort is a complex affair. In case of dissatisfaction, users need to inform the building operators about apparently badly adjusted setpoints. Then, service units of the facility management have to manually analyze how to improve the situation. Due to the complex characteristics of human perception and derived feedback, this can become a troublesome and time-consuming task. This paper describes the main results of our investigations to improve occupant comfort in office buildings using environmental information monitored by a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and human perception collected from a feedback tool. A joint information base aligned with static data from building information modeling integrates the information gathered. Reasoning on these data sources allows adjustments of the Building Automation System (BAS) to automatically enhance the tenant’s comfort or suggest necessary adjustments for facility managers. Communication between the different system components is handled via Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT). A real-world field study shows the potential of the developed approach, proves its feasibility, and demonstrates the functionality of the feedback tool.

Water is a valuable natural resource which poor management is making it scarce. It is this lack of care that has created a series of social and technical problems, among them, the difficulties to distribute it to every home, particularly in Mexico. In order to solve such problems, it is necessary to find alternatives for its harvesting, care, distribution and use; allowing reducing social stress and better water stewardship [1]. One option is using Biomimicry and design as tools to find innovative, sustainable solutions. This paper aims to report the initial results of the first stage from a research project currently being carried out in which two different Mexican plants of notable importance, in economic and even gastronomical terms, had been analyzed through the eyes of the Biomimicry in order to extrapolate possible solutions of water harvesting and distribution.

The publish/subscribe communication paradigm has many characteristics that lend themselves well to mobile wireless networks. Our research investigates the extension of current publish/subscribe systems to support subscriber mobility in such networks. We present a novel mobility management scheme based on a pro-active caching approach to overcome the challenges and the performance concerns of disconnected operations in publish/subscribe systems. We discuss the mechanism of our proposed scheme and present a comprehensive experimental evaluation of our approach and alternative state-of-the-art solutions based on reactive approaches and durable subscriptions. The obtained results illustrate significant performance benefits of our proposed scheme across a range of scenarios. We conclude our work by discussing a modeling approach that can be used to extrapolate the performance of our approach in a near-size environment (in terms of broker network and/or subscriber population) to our experimental testbed.

The article discusses and analyzes the economic and social rationality and expediency of organizing economic systems within the framework of various forms of the socio-economic organization of the state. A comparative analysis of the principles of evolutionary development of various spheres of existence of human societies is carried out. The emphasis is on comparing the biological and economic components of the life of social structures. Features of functioning and principles of organization of competitive capitalist and planned socialist economy are compared. These features of economic life in various state societies are compared. Comparative analysis is based on the perception of these economic systems by society. It is proposed to extrapolate the biological laws of the development of society and, above all, natural selection to the capitalist market economic system. Since human society has abandoned natural selection, which is expedient from the point of view of preserving the population, it has been suggested that the market economic system will also be transformed in the direction of moving away from the principles of natural selection (tough competition). Thus, truly human relationships can become dominant not only in the natural-biological, but also in the economic spheres of society. It is said about the expediency of comparing the functioning of economic systems with social systems, where natural selection has given way to the principles of universal humanism. An attempt is made to resolve the issue of the fundamental possibility of building a society of economic equality that does not contradict the biological nature of man. A variant of the organization of such a society can be a socio-economic system with a mixed economy, where the state guarantees the survival of all production structures, as well as employment.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide, machine learning (ML) is increasingly being used for developing flood early warning systems (FEWSs). However, previous studies have not focused on establishing a methodology for determining the most efficient ML technique. We assessed FEWSs with three river states, No-alert, Pre-alert and Alert for flooding, for lead times between 1 to 12 h using the most common ML techniques, such as multi-layer perceptron (MLP), logistic regression (LR), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), naive Bayes (NB), and random forest (RF). The Tomebamba catchment in the tropical Andes of Ecuador was selected as a case study. For all lead times, MLP models achieve the highest performance followed by LR, with f1-macro (log-loss) scores of 0.82 (0.09) and 0.46 (0.20) for the 1 h and 12 h cases, respectively. The ranking was highly variable for the remaining ML techniques. According to the g-mean, LR models correctly forecast and show more stability at all states, while the MLP models perform better in the Pre-alert and Alert states. The proposed methodology for selecting the optimal ML technique for a FEWS can be extrapolated to other case studies. Future efforts are recommended to enhance the input data representation and develop communication applications to boost the awareness of society of floods.

Full textAbstract:
The perception of different size illusions is believed to be determined by size-scaling mechanisms that lead individuals to extrapolate inappropriate 3D information from 2D stimuli. The Muller-Lyer illusion represents one of the most investigated size illusions. Studies on non-human primates showed a human-like perception of this illusory pattern. To date, it is not clear whether non-primate mammals experience a similar illusory effect. Here, we investigated whether horses perceive the Muller-Lyer illusion by using their spontaneous preference for the larger portion of carrot. In control trials, we presented horses with two carrot sticks of different sizes, and in test trials, carrot sticks of identical size were shown to the subjects together with arrowheads made of plastic material and arranged in a way meant to elicit the Müller-Lyer illusion in human observers. In control trials, horses significantly discriminated between the smaller and larger carrot stick. When presented with the illusion, they showed a significant preference for the carrot that humans perceive as longer. Further control trials excluded the possibility that their choices were based on the total size of the carrot stick and the arrowheads together. The susceptibility of horses to this illusion indicates that the perceptual mechanisms underlying size estimation in perissodactyla might be similar to those of primates, notwithstanding the considerable evolutionary divergence in the visual systems of these two mammalian groups.

Full textAbstract:
Project risk management (PRM) involves identifying risks, assessing their impact, and developing a contingency plan. A structured contingency management (CM) approach prevents subjective biases in analyzing risks and developing responses. Previous studies have either focused on improving the accuracy of risk estimates or analyzed, from a qualitative perspective, the relationships between perceived risk and project performance. This study aimed to improve PRM by providing a risk-perception-based contingency management framework (CMF). The CMF guides contingency depletion based on two short- and long-term cost overrun indicators and their respective thresholds. Thresholds and the initial contingency reserve amount are determined by applying the Monte Carlo method to a stochastic, discrete-event, finite-horizon, dynamic project simulation model. The study developed the CMF through a structured approach, validating the simulation model on eight specific project configurations. The results prove that the framework can be applied to any project, shaping the risk response strategy. This study contributes to PRM by explaining the relationships between risk perception and risk responses and providing a prescriptive CM tool.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of employment for the human being has always been central to all periods of time and this has caused great attention in both scientific and religious systems. The work as a phenomena came into psychology in the 19th century due to the American psychologist F. Taylor, later G. Emerson paid attention on it and after that representatives of the American Social- Psychological School. In the above mentioned era, the efficiency of the workers was a primary issue, but along with the development of the field, the raised issues were also increased. Nowadays, one of the primary issues of organizational psychology are the choice of employee, work motivation and job management. While discussing the issue of choosing an employee in professional literature, a great attention is paid both on the employee's professional abilities and personality traits. Nevertheless, different religious systems, even during the creation of their saint books, have clearly described how working relationships should be, who should be accept to the certain work, how to work, and how to pay the worker. So this article is directed to the research how different religious systems refer to work and how experts interpret it.

Full textAbstract:
To test public perception and preference of forest fragmentation trends under current forest management practices, we solicited preferences for harvest patterns from 63 study participants before and after they were provided with educational material on the subject. In addition, we solicited preferences for harvest systems employing different retention patterns. Participants preferred harvest patterns tending away from small, dispersed harvest blocks (i.e., more fragmented) towards larger, more aggregated harvest blocks (i.e., less fragmented). This preference was more pronounced when participants were provided with information that stressed a less fragmented pattern as being ecologically beneficial. This result suggests that the public is willing to accept larger, more aggregated harvest blocks relative to the status quo, especially if provided with information that stresses benefits of that approach. However, participants clearly preferred a harvest system employing dispersed individual tree retention over other systems employing a more concentrated retention pattern. The combination of these results suggests that public acceptability of larger aggregated harvest blocks may depend on the amount of post-harvest retention involved, and that harvest systems employing dispersed individual tree retention will be preferred by the public. Key words: effects of information, environmental perception, forest fragmentation, forest management, human perception, natural disturbance

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of using Twitter on American stakeholders’ crisis appraisal for organizations originated from two foreign countries with distinctively different perceptions. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a 2 (medium: Twitter vs news release)×2 (country-of-origin: China vs France) factorial experiment. The participants (n=393) are recruited through the Amazon Mechanical Turk system (Mturks). Findings – The findings suggest that using Twitter substantially mitigates participants’ negative evaluation of the organization undergoing a crisis. Country-of-origin affects how individuals perceive the organization after it has experienced a crisis. In addition, participants’ product involvement intensifies the reputational threat specifically for the organization with a less favorable country-of-origin perception. Originality/value – This study is one of the few empirically based studies in international public relations research, using an experiment to extrapolate the effects of social media and country-of-origin on consumers’ crisis appraisal. This investigation reinforces the need to consider social media not just at the individual level, but also as a form of communication that can have broader consequences at the organizational level. In addition, it is important for company leaders to understand that the organization’s home country image may exacerbate the negative management outcomes during a crisis. It is expected that this study yields theoretically indicative, empirically informative, and culturally relevant results.

Full textAbstract:
Façades are not watertight systems in which the exterior surface of the cladding plays the role of the water shedding surface; the air space is the drainage plane; the exterior surface of the thermal insulation layer acts as water-resistive barrier, and the interior layer of the inner leaf is supposed to be the air barrier. The degree of watertightness of ventilated façades relies on the characteristics of the materials used, the geometry of the external cladding element, and edge profile of the joints. Hence, in this article, we extrapolate the laboratory testing to develop a holistic approach on the water management of ventilated façades. The laboratory test showed that 50% of the water deposited to the surface of the wall splashes back, 22% creates a runoff film along the exterior surface of the cladding, 27% infiltrates into the cavity behind the cladding, and <1% reaches the inner layer of the wall. Given these results, the moisture load has been determined for a range of wind-driven rain loads and vertical joint configurations. Such information can be used as input to hygrothermal simulations.

Robotics navigation and perception for forest management are challenging due to the existence of many obstacles to detect and avoid and the sharp illumination changes. Advanced perception systems are needed because they can enable the development of robotic and machinery solutions to accomplish a smarter, more precise, and sustainable forestry. This article presents a state-of-the-art review about unimodal and multimodal perception in forests, detailing the current developed work about perception using a single type of sensors (unimodal) and by combining data from different kinds of sensors (multimodal). This work also makes a comparison between existing perception datasets in the literature and presents a new multimodal dataset, composed by images and laser scanning data, as a contribution for this research field. Lastly, a critical analysis of the works collected is conducted by identifying strengths and research trends in this domain.

New definitions are proposed for the concepts ‘innovation’ and ‘organization’ by looking at the concepts in terms of value and competition and using the framework of the selection system. Also, new definitions are proposed for ‘importance of an innovation’ and ‘stylistic innovation’. Some results can be directly derived from the definitions, such as that economic entities can exist that are organizations in the perception of the individual members and groups of competing actors in the perception of others. Together the new definitions provide a foundation for a better understanding of not just the concepts themselves but also of the relationships between the type and importance of innovations and the most likely characteristics of successful innovators.

The objective of the article is to identify the perception of users of the Decision Support System (DSS), used by the Federal University of Brazil (UNIVASF), about the management of the Critical Success Factors (CSF) in the implementation of the Information System. The research, descriptive and quantitative, had data collected through a structured questionnaire, applied to Decision Support System users of the Federal University. The results reveal that organizational factors were perceived as those that received more adequate management, when compared to technological CSFs, while compliance with legislation was the factor that obtained the highest positive perception index. It should also be noted that preventive corrective initiatives adopted by managers were not sufficient, leading to this factor being the one with the least positive perception of adequate management. In addition, the career can affect to a certain extent the level of perception Management of the process of implementation of the information system.

Full textAbstract:
"We are 90s from midnight". On January 24th, 2023, for the first time in history, the "Doomsday Clock" reached its closest threshold to midnight since its creation. The war between Russia and Ukraine and the risk of a nuclear escalation of the conflict, intentional, accidental, or miscalculated, constitute a fundamental point for the establishment. It is also vital to consider disruptive innovations' weight in this determination. While the conflict in Eastern Europe amplified the possibility of using nuclear weapons (tactical nukes – in operational terms on the battlefield, and strategic – considering the strain of the nuclear regime among the nuclear powers), it has also validated the relevance of high-tech weapons. Both sides use armed drones and precision-guided munitions as significant disruptive resources in the conflict's conduct and management. That indicates the continuous development of new military technologies and the need to assess their impact on strategic relations between countries. In this way, in addition to the current conflict serving as a backdrop, this Policy Brief seeks to extrapolate its thresholds, intending to gather initial information about disruptive military technologies, namely, nuclear weapons and Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), alerting to the risk (of catastrophic effects) of their joint use.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the use of decision support systems and their application in the area of project management. Not only can computers be used to provide scheduling data, but they also can provide a consistent, detailed, and systematic analysis of progress; help predict delays; provide possible causes of delays; and provide suggestions on ways to prevent further delays and corrective actions. Decision support systems can provide a well-documented analysis of project delays and help with the data collection process. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of decision support systems, a program called the Project Management Perception is also discussed. This decision support system allows incorporation of the knowledge of experts in the field of project controls into the delay analysis model. Knowledge bases can be used within the program to perform evaluations that are normally performed manually. By computerizing these traditionally manual processes, the computer system can test for multiple influences that affect the project and search for trends, exceptions, comparisons, and patterns that indicate problems.

In examining the imperative role of resilience in military contexts, the focus of this research delves into the integration of robust financial management strategies and advanced communication technologies to bolster the adaptive capacity of military personnel during crisis situations. Drawing insights from the study on financial management strategies in insurance companies (Rasshyvalov, 2024), the research aims to extrapolate the applicability of risk identification, mitigation, and contingency planning in enhancing military resilience. Moreover, the comparison of communication technologies in flood risk assessment (Jasmeet Singh et al., 2024) provides a compelling framework for assessing the performance and cost-effectiveness of IoT-enabled systems in augmenting early warning mechanisms for military units. By synthesizing these perspectives, the research endeavors to construct a comprehensive thesis elucidating the multifaceted approach required to fortify military resilience, ultimately facilitating better decision-making, heightened endurance, and improved operational outcomes in adversarial environments.

In the context of the development of the world educational sphere, taking into account modern trends and challenges, in the context of the transformation of social services into digital forms, the actual research is the search for ideas, concepts, startups, pilot projects and features of the introduction of blockchain technology in education. The first Bitcoin blockchain was designed as an extremely secure and reliable information network for the financial sector, where the storage and transfer of value assets is the main functionality. In the field of education and educational processes, the issue of information security is most acute, since it is a question of reliable storage of activities of teachers and students. This issue is successfully solved by blockchain technology. The target of the work is to research engineering blockchain solutions published in academic cited publications. In order to achieve the target of the work, the most cited scientific publications over the past 5 years were collected and analyzed. The works in which conceptual and practical blockchain solutions aimed at improving efficiency, reliability and security in the operation of learning management systems (LMS) are highlighted. A new type of such blockchain systems in scientific papers is called blockchain learning management systems (BLMS). The research of some of the most well-known blockchain systems is divided into five of the following groups: certification of learning results; accreditation of educational programs; security of learning management systems; learning and educational projects; management of learning results and rewards. The publications reflect a number of resolved issues regarding course certification, digital degree graduation, e-portfolios, and reputational rewards. Many issues remain unresolved, in particular, the cost and complexity of blockchain technology, the irreversibility of actions in the blockchain, the lack of mass perception and a comfortable interface for users.

In spite of being the most fundamental stakeholder, farmers often receive least attention for assessment of irrigation performance. Present study assessed the performance of groundwater irrigation systems being managed by water user associations (WUAs) in Burdwan (East) district of West Bengal from the perspectives of farmers during the year 2019. A random sample of 120 famers under four groundwater irrigation systems perceived that most of the parameters of irrigation performance in term of irrigation service utility at a higher level with mean perception score >4.0 except for the certainty of water delivery (2.67) leading to overall mean perception score 4.12 in kharif season. Farmers perceived similarly in rabi season with overall mean perception score 4.15; however, the overall perception of farmers regarding irrigation in summer season was relatively low (3.78). Overall irrigation performances under the jurisdiction of WUAs was perceived very good by all the farmers for all three seasons with index values more than 93 per cent. The farmers’ participation in irrigation management has helped in better water management that advocates for promoting participatory irrigation management through WUAs in all the minor irrigation systems to overcome low irrigation efficiency and other management constraints being faced in irrigated areas.

Full textAbstract:
Students participation in institutions of higher learning has been associated with positive student’s outcomes such as increased levels of satisfaction, positive civic development, active positive public life and prosocial behaviour.However, the colonial educational management system comes with a type of student participation that only looks at formal representative structures such as student’s unions or guild executives and formal institutional governance structures where one or two students are elected to represent their colleagues in form of sitting on some university governance structures. The majority of students populous strongly feel this kind of colonial student’s governance system does not adequately provide a true reflection of student’s participation in the management of modern education systems hence the continuation of antisocial conduct that tend to disrupt the peaceful learning environment in terms of class boycotts, demonstrations and riots. Eventually, this leads to a compromised quality of education systems. The purpose of the study therefore was to explore what constituted student’s participation using student’s lenses. The significance of the study was that it established the existing gaps in the current participatory structures and proposed a suitable students participatory model that offers solutions to the problem of participation. The study used a qualitative methodological design within an explorative perspective view. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires and focused group discussions, reviews of literature and observations. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data and the results were presented using thematic designs. The study established that there existed a wide gap between the majority students and the union leadership and also between management and the student’s majority groupings. A decentralised model of student’s participatory system was proposed that would offer more informal and formal structures to increased student’s participation in decision making process.

PurposeThis article demonstrates how psycho-sociological concepts have a place in disaster risk sciences. It draws attention to the relationship between risk perception and disaster management from Western and traditional viewpoints.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is conceptual and draws from published works. The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology was adopted to analyse existing literature on the subject matter.FindingsRisk perception evolved over centuries and disciplines until it found applicability in modern times. Despite the proliferation of western science-based approaches to risk perception, Indigenous knowledge systems still hold sway over communities’ understanding of risk. These perspectives are enshrined in religious and cultural convictions that become the lenses through which a society assigns cause, effect and remedy to risk events. A deeper understanding of these convictions enables disaster risk management strategies to be better accepted by those at risk and to align with their lived realities.Originality/valueRisk perception becomes the lens through which we better understand the realities and complexities of populations at risk. Indigenous knowledge systems have a strong influence on society’s perception of risk and if they are not harnessed and studied, they will stand in conflict with Western approaches. Hence, the study of the nexus between risk perception and disaster management presents an opportunity for policymakers and practitioners to design risk management solutions that have a higher chance of acceptance and sustainability.
