In this paper, several “disruptive” technologies are considered and the paths they have taken from the early innovation phase to full implementation are traced. The technologies include: refrigeration; the automobile and highway system; incandescent lighting; the television; and, the personal computer. Each technology is traced through several steps leading from the early innovation to wide adoption. Then the same steps are applied to RFID, placing it in this historical context and speculating on the possible future adoption and impact of this technology.

INTRODUCTION:The proliferation and uneven diffusion of new medical technologies in recent years has been raising concerns on affordability and equity of care, and inspiring the publication of scientific articles on the determinants of their uptake and adoption (1). Indeed, the knowledge of the determinants spurring the adoption and diffusion of innovative medical technologies is relevant for policymakers because it helps them implementing evidence-based health policies aimed at influencing the use of new technologies, thus reducing inequities in uptake rates across areas and populations.The aims of this study were (i) to identify the empirical literature investigating the determinants of adoption and diffusion of innovative non-pharmaceutical health technologies, and (ii) to discuss the existence of consensus on the direction and significance of the factors that influence their adoption in each phase of technologies life cycle (that is, early adoption, adoption, diffusion).METHODS:We performed a systematic literature review of quantitative empirical literature.RESULTS:We identified a total of thirty-three studies, published between 1977 and 2014. We concluded that early adoption of innovative technologies is positively affected by physician characteristics (for example, experience with new technology by the practitioner or by other physicians in the same hospital) and by the fee-for-service reimbursement scheme. The probability of adoption is mainly driven by provider characteristics (for example, size, importance of being perceived as technology leaders, previous adoption of similar or substitute technologies, strong medical staff involvement in decisions of acquisition), by physician experience with the technology and by the new technology expected impact on hospitals and physicians revenues. Socio-economic determinants (for example, health expenditure), hospitals and physicians reimbursement schemes, market structure (for example, number of providers, number of substitute procedures), provider features (for example, size, quality of care, reputation), and physician characteristics (for example, experience with technology, innovator status of the team) significantly increased the extent of diffusion.CONCLUSIONS:Our results can be used as a guide by policymakers who wish to make evidence-based decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Exploring the relationship between child rearing burden and farmers’ adoption of climate adaptation technologies can be used to improve farmers’ adoption of these technologies, thus reducing the impact of climate change on agricultural production and increasing agricultural output. However, with the full implementation of the Chinese three-child policy, the number of children in families will continue to increase and the cost of raising children will rise, which will have a crowding out effect on the adoption of climate adaptive technologies. In this context, we analyzed the impact and mechanism of child rearing burden on farmers’ adoption of climate adaptive technology by Probit model and discussed its heterogeneity based on family life cycle theory. Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 511 farm households in the 3 provinces of China to produce the findings. We found that the child rearing burden had a significant negative impact on farmers’ adoption of climate adaptive technology. The impact mechanism analysis showed that the child rearing burden mainly affected farmers’ adoption of climate adaptive technology through three paths: risk appetite, economic capital and non-agricultural employment, with non-agricultural employment having the largest impact, followed by risk appetite and finally, economic capital. Furthermore, the effect of child rearing burden on the adoption of climate adaptive technology was heterogeneous amid different family life cycles: In the upbringing and burden period, the child support burden had a significant negative impact on the adoption of climate adaptive technology and the impact was greater in the upbringing period, while in the stable period, the child support burden had a significant positive impact on the adoption of climate adaptive technology. The influence mechanism was also heterogeneous in different family life cycles. This paper not only provides research evidence on the relationship between child rearing burden and farmers’ adoption of climate adaptive technology, but also has certain empirical value for the formulation and implementation of supportive measures for improving fertility policies.

Full textAbstract:
The procurement process is part of Purchase to pay (P2P) that consumes huge company costs. There are many procedures that need to be performed related to data. Without digital technology it might cause human error which will lead to issues in higher cost and will create a lot of delay in the procurement process. To improve procurement performance, selecting the right technologies that will create performance impact is quite a challenging task for the company. This study aims to examine the impact of digital technology adoption on procurement performance and to examine the mechanism through which digital technologies impact procurement performance. Target groups are medium and large manufacturing companies in the Eastern economic corridor, Thailand. In research findings, there is data supporting our hypotheses that digital technology adoption in procurement has a positive impact on procurement performance in cost and cycle time reduction. As a result of the moderation effect, reducing human errors, data availability and responsiveness moderated the positive impact between technology adoption and procurement cost reduction. The effect between technology adoption and procurement cycle time reduction has positively been mediated by reducing human errors and data availability. However, responsiveness rejected the hypothesis that mediates the relationship between technology adoption and procurement cycle time reduction.

Smart asset management can provide a framework for validating and improving asset performance, as well as collecting and incorporating reliable asset information into the decision-making process. In this context, this study analyzes the adoption of technology in the management of intelligent assets through multiple case studies, the technologies used, and the factors that possibly affect the level of technology adoption in asset management and a new method for operating. Technology-Organization-Environment framework and Technology Acceptance Model were used to analyze the main factors influencing technology adoption in intelligent asset management. The contribution of the study lies in the integration of asset management concepts and technology adoption. This integration allows structuring a theoretical framework for technology adoption by identifying the adoption factors in each phase of the asset management cycle in construction projects.

<strong>Developing a new product requires understanding of consumers, conducting ethnography research, empathizing with the customers, finding their needs, looking at pain points . But more importantly, it is the adoption of the product by the consumer at the end of the day which matters. Estimating the product usage and his need satisfaction level is what helps the product to penetrate in market. Use innovativeness involves the use of previously adopted products in novel ways. As conceptualized by Price and Ridgway use innovativeness encompasses five factors: creativity/curiosity, risk preferences, voluntary simplicity, creative re-use and multiple use potential. Use innovativeness is measured by above scales and a conceptual model of post adoption process is developed. Understanding, the technology adaption life cycle by grouping consumers into Innovators, Early Adaptors, Early Majority, Late majority and Laggards, helps us strike a fine relation between product developed according to its use innovativeness and the stage of technology adoption cycle your product will mostly fall under. The conceptual model is then clubbed with framework for technology adaption cycle which will be useful for companies mainly product based, to understand its target consumers and the target market in hitting with highest probability of success. Companies looking at pivoting a product when the product doesn’t work in the market, is a painful task. Killing a product and it’s usage involves lot of time, effort and money. Developing a product understanding one’s target consumers and looking at their probable adoption is a difficult relation to strike. The Study and Analysis developed here after research of consumers and their use innovativeness in target segment helps us to put the product in right market, at right time and with right adoption purpose based on user innovativeness and will have a future scope of arriving at a framework that can help companies to launch a new product. </strong>

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge is a very important asset for organizations; it is one of the best sources of competitive advantage. Knowledge Management is used to effectively capture and apply knowledge in organizations. This task is usually carried out with the help of knowledge management systems, which serve for the creation, transfer, application and storage/retrieval of knowledge. Currently in Mexico the level of KM in organizations is not at the level that it could be. It seems that organizations are having a hard time applying the practices and level of KM that organizations in first world countries have achieved. The purpose of this study is to understand what factors drive employees in Mexico to adopt knowledge management systems. With these results organizations will know what factors they should pay close attention to, and it will shed light into what actions or interventions they should take in order to increase the adoption level of KMS. In order to do this, a research framework was designed based on a review of theoretical models used to study the adoption of technology, as well as previous KM adoption studies. And by applying a survey questionnaire, which received a total of 953 valid responses, through which several hypotheses were tested, it was found that subjective norm and efficiency gains have a significant positive influence over perceived usefulness, which in turn has a significant positive influence on the intention to use and attitude towards use of KMS. Subjective norm also influences image, which itself also influences perceived usefulness. It was also found that perceived ease of use has a positive influence on attitude towards use, perceived usefulness and attitude towards use. Finally voluntariness influences attitude towards use which in turn influences intention towards use, which is the primary factor that we wish to influence for usage behavior. The most important factors that organizations in Mexico, particularly in Monterrey, should pay attention to when seeking to increase the level of adoption of KMS are the following, in order of relevance: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norm, efficiency gains, voluntariness and image.

Full textAbstract:
This undergraduate thesis discusses how a new type of workforce management system successfully can be developed from a socio-technical perspective for businesses in the home care service to adopt and benefit from the tool. To answer the question “How can companies that develop high-tech workforce management systems (WFM-systems) towards the home care sector use The technology adoption life cycle for the tool to go from innovation to industry standard?”. A qualitative method is used in the form of a case study. To collect the empirical material, semi-structured interviews were conducted with respondents from three different Swedish home companies services and a company that is developing a high-tech WFM-system for the home care sector. The substrate for the theory is based on how companies that develop high-tech WFM-systems can be inspired by The technology adoption life cycle to increase their competitiveness and avoid collapse due to the gaps that exist between different market segments and their varying needs. Through analyzes of the collected empirical data, the authors of this thesis have concluded that the home care sector is facing a digital transformation where the implementation of high-tech WFM-systems is considered necessary. The reason behind this is that high-tech tools that use advanced algorithms for scheduling can improve resource management, while reducing costs and travel times. In order for the implementation to achieve the desired effect, these tools need to be developed in accordance with a socio-technical perspective where both home care businesses and technically able developers work together to create tools that have a positive impact on the future of the industry.<br>I denna uppsats diskuteras hur en ny typ av workforce management system framgångsrikt kan utvecklas utifrån ett sociotekniskt perspektiv för att verksamheter inom hemtjänsten ska anamma och dra nytta av verktyget. För att svara på frågeställningen “Hur kan verksamheter som utvecklar högteknologiska workforce management systems (WFM-system) mot hemtjänsten använda The Technology Adoption Life Cycle för att verktyget ska gå från innovation till branschstandard?” används en kvalitativ metod i form av en fallstudie. För att samla in det empiriska materialet genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med respondenter från tre olika svenska hemtjänstverksamheter och ett företag som utvecklar ett högteknologiskt WFM-system mot hemtjänsten. Underlaget för teorin bygger på hur verksamheter som utvecklar högteknologiska WFM-system kan inspireras av The Technology Adoption Life Cycle för att öka sin konkurrenskraft och undvika att gå under på grund av de klyftor som finns mellan olika marknadssegment och deras varierande behov. Genom analyser av den insamlade empirin har författarna av denna uppsats dragit slutsatsen att hemtjänsten står inför en digital transformation där implementeringen av nya högteknologiska WFM-system anses nödvändigt. Anledningen är då nya högteknologiska verktyg som använder smarta algoritmer för att schemalägga förbättrar resurshanteringen, samtidigt som kostnader och de sammanlagda restiderna minskar. För att implementationen ska skapa önskad effekt behöver verktyg utvecklas i enlighet med ett sociotekniskt perspektiv där likväl hemtjänstverksamheter och tekniskt kunniga utvecklare samarbetar för att skapa verktyg som har en positiv inverkan på branschens framtid.

I denna uppsats diskuteras hur relationsmarknadsföring kan användas av företag som utvecklar högteknologiska SaaS-lösningar för att bygga lönsamma relationer på en tidig marknad. För att svara på frågeställningen “Hur kan högteknologiska SaaS-leverantörer arbeta med relationsmarknadsföring för att attrahera kundgrupperna Innovators och Early adopters på den tidiga marknaden utifrån The Technology Adoption Life Cycle?” har en kvalitativ metod i form av en fallstudie använts. Semistrukturerade intervjuer med respondenter från en SaaS-leverantör och deras kunder nyttjas för insamling av empirin. Detta för att öka förståelsen för vad både leverantörer av SaaS och deras kunder värdesätter i en relation. Urvalet av teori bygger på hur segmenteringsverktyget The Technology Adoption Life Cycle och teorier kring relationsmarknadsföring kan kombineras för att öka förståelsen för hur olika kundrelationer kräver olika tillvägagångssätt på den tidiga marknaden. Genom analyser av den insamlade empirin har författarna av denna uppsats dragit slutsatsen att relationsmarknadsföring är ett brett område. Utöver produkten behöver SaaS-leverantörer fokusera på andra nyckelfaktorer där personal, teknologi, tid och kunskap ingår. Det är dessutom avgörande att SaaS-leverantörer lägger stor vikt på den interna marknadsföringen eftersom alla interaktioner och beröringspunkter med kunden påverkar relationen. Tillit till det andra företaget och engagemang i relationen är ytterligare aspekter som ligger till grund för att bygga långvariga relationer. Dessa relationer är avgörande för att SaaS-lösningen ska kunna nå den huvudsakliga marknaden där kapitalet finns och en prenumerationsmodell ger önskad avkastning. Genom live-in marketing kan SaaS-leverantören ta del av viktiga insikter från sina kunder på den tidiga marknaden och möjliggöra en kundcentrerad utveckling av SaaS-lösningen. Undersökningen som denna uppsats bygger på har däremot visat att ett fokus på spridning genom word of mouth inte nödvändigtvis leder till ökad exponering och försäljning, samt att utträdesbarriärer inte är ett tillvägagångssätt för att skapa engagemang i relationen.<br>This undergraduate thesis explores the possibilities of high tech SaaS providers to apply relationship marketing in order to establish profitable relationships in the early market. A qualitative method in the form of a case study was used to answer the research question “How can high tech SaaS providers apply relationship marketing theory in order to attract customer groups in the early market based on The Technology Adoption Life Cycle?”. To collect the empirical material, semi-structured interviews were conducted with respondents from one SaaS provider and two of their customers. This was done to increase the knowledge on what SaaS providers and their customers value in a relationship. The segmentation tool The Technology Adoption Life Cycle and relationship marketing theory was applied to increase the understanding of how various customer groups require different approaches in the early market. Through analysis of the collected empirical material, the authors of this thesis have drawn the conclusion that relationship marketing is a broad field. Beside the product itself, SaaS providers need to focus on other key factors such as personnel, technology, time and knowledge. Since all interactions with the customer will affect the relationship, internal marketing should be of paramount importance to the SaaS provider. Trust between partners as well as commitment to the relationship play a vital part in the longevity of relationships in the early market. These relationships are crucial in order for a SaaS to reach the mainstream market where a subscription model can show true value for the SaaS-provider. SaaS providers can use live-in marketing to gain important insights from its customers in the early market and develop their SaaS with a customer centric approach. The research that has been conducted in this thesis has shown that focusing on diffusion through word of mouth does not necessarily result in increased exposure and sales, but also that costs of leaving a relationship does not increase the customers commitment to the relationship.

Technology adoption processes have emerged as an important determinant of competitiveness in several industries (Zaltman, Ducan and Holbek, 1973). To maintain their competitiveness firms often monitor advances in product technology in relation to the adoption decisions of other firms in the industry (Abrahamson and Rosenkopf, 1993; O’Neill, Pouder and Buchholtz, 1998). Benchmarking against the rest of the industry gives the firm useful reference points when it comes to deciding which product technologies to adopt, when, and to what extent the product technology will be used in the product range (Fiegenbaum and Thomas, 1995; Greve, 1998). In this dissertation I explore how firms respond to the introduction of new product technologies by industry rivals. In particular I follow a longitudinal approach to investigate how quickly firms adopt technologies introduced by competitors and which industry benchmarks firms use when adopting new product technologies. The research site is the mobile phone industry.<br>L’adozione di una nuova tecnologia può fortemente influenzare la competitività del prodotto dell’impresa (Zaltman, Ducan and Holbek, 1973).

Confrontare le proprie scelte strategiche con quelle dei rivali è un modo per capire quali tecnologie adottare ed il momento più opportuno per adottarle (Fiegenbaum and Thomas, 1995; Greve, 1998). L’obiettivo di questa tesi è di capire come le imprese rispondono all’introduzione di nuove tecnologie di prodotto da parte dei rivali. Nello specifico si cercherà di capire quanto velocemente le imprese adottano le tecnologie introdotte dai rivali e quali imprese vengono utilizzate come benchmark nei processi di adozione di nuove tecnologie. Questi fenomeni verranno analizzati empiricamente nello specifico contesto dell’industria dei telefoni cellulari.

Full textAbstract:
The financial industry is currently undergoing radical change as a result of the increased implementation of digitalisation strategies. Due to pressure from a number of sources, finance firms, including asset managers, are looking to adopt technology solutions in their business processes. Through the introduction of new technologies and digitalisation strategies, the asset managers are hoping to secure their market segments in the future. Choosing which technology to implement is considered one of the most difficult decisions a manager has to make. Hence, this thesis proposes a framework to be used by asset managers in order to efficiently and swiftly evaluate a number of technologies when looking to digitalize manual processes. The largest bank in the Nordic region is Nordea, who have just recently announced that they will be looking to implement more digital solutions. This thesis was conducted in collaboration with Nordea Asset Management. The thesis explores three core areas: the future of the asset management industry, digitalisation strategies, and new technology adoption in order to produce the analytical framework. The framework is constructed using previously explored methods described in literature along with the key information gathered from experts at Nordea Asset Management. The result is a framework which combines expert knowledge of the asset management industry, successful methods regarding conceptual frameworks, technology life cycle and new technology adoption theory and digitalisation strategy concepts. In order for traditional asset managers to maintain their market position they will need to adapt new technologies. This is not only needed for efficiency and cost reasons but also because customers are starting to demand it. The sales channels, operations, personnel requirements and the business model as a whole are areas identified by this research project that will adapt through the introduction of digitalisation strategies being introduced. The framework constructed in this thesis provides the asset management firms with a method of successfully applying digitalisation strategies through new technology adoption.<br>Finansindustrin genomgår just nu radikala förändringar på grund av att digitaliseringsstrategier implementeras. Efter påtryckning från en rad olika håll, känner sig finansbolag, som inkluderar kapitalförvaltningsbolag, tvungna att implementera nya tekniska lösningar i sin verksamhet. Genom att adoptera nya tekniker och digitaliseringsstrategier hoppas kapitalförvaltare på att kunna försäkra sina marknadsandelar i framtiden. Men att välja vilken teknik som ska implementeras är ett av de svåraste beslut en ansvarig måste ta. Alltså, så föreslår detta arbete ett ramverk som kan användas av ett kapitalförvaltningsbolag för att, på ett effektivt och snabbt sätt, kunna evaluera en mängd tekniker när man vill digitalisera manuella processer. Den största banken i den nordiska regionen är Nordea, som just har informerat allmänheten att de kommer att börja implementera digitala strategier. Detta arbete skrevs i samarbete med Nordea Asset Management (NAM). Detta arbete koncentreras på tre centrala områden. Framtiden av kapitalförvaltningsindustrin, digitaliseringsstrategier, samt implementering av nya tekniker för att producera ett analytiskt ramverk. Ramverket är hopsatt genom att använda metoder från tidigare forskning tillsammans med nyckelinformation samlad av experter på NAM. Resultatet blir då ett ramverk som kombinerar expertkunskap från kapitalförvaltningsindustrin, lyckade metoder i relation till konceptuella ramverk, tekniklivscykel och ny teknikimplementationsteorier samt digitaliseringsstrategikoncepter. För att traditionella kapitalförvaltare ska kunna bibehålla sina nuvarande marknadspositioner, kommer de att behöva implementera nya tekniker. Detta behövs inte endast för effektivitet och kostnadsanledningar utan också för att kunden kommer att begära det. De områden som detta arbete har identifierat som kommer att behöva ändras på i och med implementeringen av digitaliseringsstrategier är: säljkanaler, operations, personalbehov och verksamhetsmodell. Ramverket konstruerat i detta arbete, förser kapitalförvaltningsbolag med en metod för att implementera digitaliseringsstrategier på ett effektivt och framgångsrikt sätt.

Full textAbstract:
Both globally and locally, agriculture faces ever increasing challenges such as high input costs, strict environmental laws, decrease in land for cultivation and an increase in demand due to the growing global population. Profitability and sustainability requires more effective production systems. Precision agriculture is identified as such a system and is built upon a system approach that aims to restructure the total system of agriculture towards low input, high efficiency and sustainable agriculture.
The aim of this study was to analyse the state of precision agriculture in the summer grain producing areas of South Africa, specifically the North West and Free State provinces. In order to achieve this, a literature study was conducted. During the literature study the term ‘precision agriculture’ was defined and discussed. The precision agriculture cycle and its components were explained and benefits of precision agriculture were identified. The literature study was concluded with identifying and discussing the most widely used and most beneficial technologies as well as reasons for slow adoption.
Findings from the literature study were used to investigate the state of precision agriculture locally. In order to achieve this, a quantitative approach was used and information was collected by means of an empirical study using a questionnaire. Questionnaires were distributed to farmers using selling agents of an agricultural company that is well represented in the targeted areas. The data was then statistically analysed.
The survey showed that only 52% of summer grain producing farmers in the North West and Free State provinces of South Africa practises precision agriculture as defined in the
v
literature study. The study also revealed that the majority of precision agriculture farmers are over the age of 40, have more than 16 years of farming experience, are well educated, cultivate more than 1,000 hectares and uses none or little irrigation. The most commonly used precision agriculture technologies were grid soil sampling and yield monitors. The perception among most of the farmers was that precision technologies are not very affordable, not easily available and that it lacks proper testing with regards to efficiency. The group of summer grain–producing farmers that have correctly implemented precision agriculture as per definition stated that the benefits they derived from precision technologies include reduction in input costs, increased outputs and improved management skills. Too high implementation costs and technologies not providing enough benefits were among the main reasons farmers do not implement precision agriculture.
It was concluded that a significant effort and amount of work is needed to increase the use of precision agriculture among summer grain–producing farmers in the targeted areas. A consolidated effort from government, agricultural institutions and agricultural companies will be needed to achieve this goal. Implementing precision agriculture as a system will require education (from primary to tertiary institutions) and improved marketing strategies. Only then will precision technologies be able to help meet the future demands placed on the agriculture sector.<br>Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>資訊管理研究所<br>88<br>The research proposed two analytical phases. Phase one, this study adopted the concept of Diffusion Life Cycle, proposed by Moore in 1991, to classify printer consumers into four modes of innovation by adapter’s mental attitude. In the phase two, the influential factors of consumer’s behaviors, in terms of brand extension and switching, were conducted by differential adapter’s style.
The results revealed that the consumers with repeated purchase were categorized into “Early Majority”. Moreover, the proposed influential factors, including sex, age, job, the degree of education, personal monthly income, economic, printer’s function, firms’ credit and promotions, were not significant discriminated indicators for brand extension and switching.
The results of this research hope to provide valuable information for the printer salespersons when determine the marketing strategies, and for the printer research teams when design the products that meet consumer’s need.

The thesis tries to analyze LED backlight application at this point of time and also tries to link up with Technology Adoption Life Cycle theory to find out intellectual property management issues in LED industry today. The LED backlight application on small LCD display, such as mobile phones, MP3, PDA, digital cameras, and GPS, had already passed through the tornado stage in the description of Technology Adoption Life Cycle theory, and it got into the main street stage for sure. On the other side, LED backlight application on medium/large LCD display is just blowing a storm now, and waiting for next killer application, general lighting, to lead the green energy industry a bright way as well. Nevertheless, the essential patents of LED are held by international firms all along. Our LED industry development is certainly limited and technology diffusion is restricted. Fortunately, LED firms in Taiwan still made a great breakthrough that Taiwan has become one of the top two LED product bases in the world. It made international LED firms have to rely on us in some degree. The next triumph to achieve may so far require licensing from big firms or to form a strategic alliance to foster it. It is our opportunity to keep improving our technology in system integration that we are good at, and cooperate with big firms to win the coming game in the foreseeable forture.

Full textAbstract:
Periodization is a function of a virtual literary historical story, organizing selective evidence to support a particular narrative of change. In the Chinese case, the contested variable is the degree to which literary history has autonomy or is one kind of document in a unified narrative of political and cultural history. For macroperiods, technological change is essential, namely, the gradual spread of paper during the second and third centuries ce and the larger adoption of an already existing technology of printing in the tenth century. Large decline and revival narratives were popular, and interpreting literary history in the context of the dynastic cycle became the norm.

Recent advances in technology such as cloud computing, recent industry standards such as RFID, bibliographic standards like RDA and BIBFRAME, the increased adoption of open source integrated library systems (ILS), and continued shift in users' expectations have increased the complexity of the decision regarding ILS for all types of libraries. Recent advances in technology such as cloud computing, recent industry standards such as RFID, bibliographic standards like RDA and BIBFRAME, the increased adoption of open source integrated library systems (ILS), and continued shift in users' expectations have increased the complexity of the decision regarding ILS for all types of libraries. In a complete re-envisioning of the previous edition, Automating Media Centers and Small Libraries: A Microcomputer-Based Approach, Dania Bilal conceptualizes library automation in the Library Automation Life Cycle (LALC) that is informed by the systems development lifecycle (SDLC). She explains how the next-generation discovery services supported in the library services platforms (LSPs) provide a single point of access to library content in all types and formats, thereby offering a unified solution to managing library operations. The book covers methods of analyzing user requirements, describes how to structure these requirements in RFPs, and details proprietary and open-source integrated library systems (ILSs) and LSPs for school, public, special, and academic libraries. Up-to-date information is provided about ILS software installation and testing, software and hardware architecture such as single- and multi-tenant SaaS and Paas and IaaS, and usability assessment strategies for evaluating the ILS or LSP. The author concludes by describing what is likely coming next in the library automation arena.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCough is the most common symptom prompting individuals to seek medical advice. However, the widespread adoption of autonomous cough monitoring using wearable devices remains limited. This paper introduces a wireless cough monitoring device utilizing piezoelectric energy harvesting technology. The design emphasizes cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency, allowing simple attachment onto human skin using medical-grade tapes. The device's standout feature lies in its departure from continuously recording real-time acoustic data at a high sampling rate, as commonly employed in prior works. Instead, it capitalizes on the energy harvesting capability, utilizing harvested energy from muscle movements induced by coughing as crucial information. The energy harvested within specific intervals translates into a historical record of cough occurrences during that timeframe. This Energy-as-Data protocol substantially reduces the device's duty cycle, resulting in a remarkable extension of battery life by up to 2100%. Notably, this extension is achieved while maintaining reasonable accuracy in cough monitoring. With this capability, the device can autonomously monitor and analyze cough data from both in- and outpatients, serving daily, research, and clinical purposes. Its potential extends to enhancing prediction and management of severe respiratory diseases.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector produces a large sum of the global carbon emissions. Emerging systems and technology, coupled with a rapid modernisation within the construction industry, have been developed as a response to challenges of maintaining sustainable practices and procedures during the whole project life cycle. The technological advancement of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the focus of this research: to determine its potential to facilitate the adoption of Circular Economy (CE) principles to empower the path towards net-zero carbon within the built environment. The employed research methods include a systematic literature review and a questionnaire survey to collect data from construction professionals on the potentials of using BIM to enhance circularity in the built environment projects. Existing BIM practices for sustainability within the built environment could in this chapter be identified to align with the concept of the CE, which will yield further strategies aiming to maintain the path towards net-zero carbon construction projects in the future. Following the analysis of the data collected, a conceptual framework is developed to demonstrate how BIM features facilitate CE principles and empower sustainability and resource efficiency within construction projects. To achieve the full potential benefits emerging from the BIM utilisation in a CE context, industry professionals and stakeholders should comprehend the acquired BIM knowledge and appliance for sustainable practices. The BIM competencies currently employed by industry professionals could show the current existence of an interconnection between BIM and CE.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper provides an overview and examples of the potential, but also the challenges of Metal Additive Manufacturing in the future Circular Economy paradigm. The Circular Economy, aimed at reducing resource consumption, waste generation, and the overall carbon footprint of our industries, presents significant challenges to traditional, linear production systems. In this context, Additive Manufacturing emerges as a highly flexible technology with the potential to overcome many of these hurdles: The ability to reduce material usage through optimized lightweight and functional designs, the use of recycled materials, Additive Manufacturing-based repair and remanufacturing of tools and products or the optimization of production through hybrid manufacturing approaches (e.g. combinations of subtractive and additive manufacturing) are just a few examples. However, the lack of automated and digitalized production processes, complex process chains with potential health and safety concerns, and high demands on material and component qualification still pose significant hurdles to the widespread adoption of Metal Additive Manufacturing in the Circular Economy framework. In addition, the Circular Economy alone does not necessarily mean a lower carbon footprint over the entire product life cycle. On the contrary, depending on the specific process used, the carbon footprint of metal additive part production is often higher than in conventional manufacturing scenarios due to the high energy requirements of the additive process and long production times. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive literature review is performed to outline the potential of Additive Manufacturing for Circular Economy principles, providing several beneficial examples of the so-called “R-strategies” covered with the help of Additive Manufacturing. In addition, an outlook is given on the development of new technologies to increase the potential of Additive Manufacturing to make an important contribution to circular production scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe built environment fundamentally suffers from organisational fragmentation in various aspects, such as data flow, finance, and supply chains. Blockchain technology can be considered a transformative solution to the inherent fragmentation of this industry. This chapter first defines the basics of blockchain technology to show how a peer-to-peer network could enable a decentralised, traceable, and immutable information system across the life cycles of built assets. Then, an overview of blockchain literature within the context of a circular economy, with real-life examples and the current state of blockchain adoption in the circular built environment, is presented, and the role that this technology plays in addressing certain circular strategies is discussed. Afterward, implementation challenges and incentives are identified to set realistic expectations regarding the capabilities of blockchain technologies. Emerging concepts within blockchain technologies are then presented to give insights into prospects beyond current literature and use cases in the circular built environment. Finally, the future of blockchain technology in a circular built environment is discussed to present the applicability of blockchain and its possible integration with other emerging digitalisation tools, such as building information modelling (BIM) and material passports, in wider domains of circular, smart cities and communities.

Full textAbstract:
Justifying the relevance of the topic, the authors emphasise that education aimed at fulfilling the strategic objectives of economic development is determined, on the one hand, by the achievements of the basic sciences, and, on the other hand, by the development of production. The objective need to apply innovations in the management of educational institutions is determined by the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Ukraine until 2030, the transition of the EU countries (and in the future, Ukraine) to Industry 5.0, and the prospect of rebuilding the state in the face of a shortage of personnel. The author's concept is based on the following philosophical and methodological justifications of the regularity of innovative management of educational institutions: the need to change the theory and practice of managing an educational institution in a changing, increasingly integrated world, intensified global problems and crises; the principle of advanced development and the principle of innovation as principles of organisation and development of educational systems; the essence of mastering the technologies of future creation, advanced, innovative management, as well as the The study used a multidisciplinary approach; integrated various scientific areas; the results of theoretical research and practical activities. The authors distinguish between the concepts of innovation management in educational institutions (management of innovations in the educational process) and innovation management (management innovations). Innovation management is based on the theoretical provisions of general (system) management, management of organisations, is subject to the laws of innovation activity, at the same time it has its own specifics in the content, organisational and implementation aspects, due to sectoral characteristics (management of educational institutions). The concept of innovative management of educational institutions reveals the following: concept, subjects, objects, purpose, tasks, principles, process and tools of innovative management of educational institutions. The objects of innovative management of an educational institution are classified according to the following criteria: by type of resources (material, intangible, financial, technical, time-space, labour); by element of the management system (purpose, functions, methods, procedures, technologies, organisational structures); by management function (analysis, forecasting, design, planning, organisation, motivation, stimulation, control); by management tools (management decision, management technology, organisational structure). Along with local, modular and systemic changes, the authors distinguish permanent changes as a conscious management of transformations that become possible due to the search, development, implementation of innovative changes in management of an educational institution and monitoring of their effectiveness. On the basis of generalisation of the main stages of search and development of innovative changes; stages of the process of development and adoption of managerial decision on innovation; institutional cycle of management activity; project technology, an algorithm for permanent implementation of innovative changes in the management of an educational institution is developed. Innovative management as a type of activity is represented by a set of the following management tools: innovative management decisions, innovative management technologies, application of innovative structures and infrastructure, development of individual and group receptivity to the new; formation of an innovative environment of an educational institution.

Full textAbstract:
The cylinder deactivation on the cycle-by-cycle basis represents the advanced engine technology which enables the firing cylinders to operate close to its best thermal efficiency due to reduced pumping losses. In such engine operation, the deactivation of cylinders from cycle to cycle is made by controlling the deactivation of intake and exhaust valves on each cylinder. The change of firing density over the time defines the output engine torque. The application of this engine technology can be performed in the spark ignition and compression ignition engines enabling the reduction of fuel consumption up to 15%. In this paper the naturally aspirated 4-cylinder spark ignition engine fueled by gasoline was numerically analyzed. The 1D/0D simulation model of engine performance was made in the commercial version of cycle simulation software AVL Boost™, while the vehicle performance and driving cycles were performed separately using the external in-house code. Within the first part of study, the commercial spark ignition engine was simulated with the adoption of conventional engine load regulation (throttle position variation) over the entire operating range. In the second part, the engine performance in the same operating points was simulated where the desired part load conditions were achieved with different firing densities over the time considering the imposed stability limit in terms of engine speed variation. The results of pumping losses, specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions achieved within both parts were analyzed and compared. In the last part of study, the analysis of driving over the standardized vehicle driving cycles was made using the engine performance maps previously defined for the conventional and advanced load controlling. The simulation results achieved with the employment of cylinder deactivation technology over the driving conditions were compared with the results achieved by the throttle angle variation. This study will quantify the effect of advanced cylinder deactivation technology on the fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Adoption of cutting-edge digitization tools in the energy sector is often challenged by an underestimation of value-in-use stemming from a lack of publicly available information regarding the breadth of technological capabilities and associated use-case economics. This paper seeks to address such challenges – as they pertain to advanced fiber optic sensing systems for monitoring of pipelines and other energy infrastructure - by providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the full range of operational applications and current economics for the state-of-the-art in the field, with a focus on case studies and value add benefits that have emerged more recently for many operators. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) continues to see strong commercial growth in the Canadian energy sector, largely due to its exceptional suitability for real time detection of pinhole-level leaks along the full length of long-run pipeline assets. Combining the remarkable sensitivity and lightspeed transmission capabilities of DFOS with the analytical horsepower of the latest machine learning (ML) strategies allows pipeline operators to accurately detect and characterize even minute integrity events (like the pinhole leaks noted above) in real-time, regardless of when or where these occur within their vast asset networks. As a result, many operators have gained at least some familiarity with distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems and a basic understanding of their performance capabilities and general economics. The downside of this singular focus on the leak detection capability and use case is, of course, that industry may elect not to adopt – or at a minimum fail to exploit the full potential of - this rapidly evolving technology, particularly as novel applications dramatically increase DFOS’ value in use. Rapid commercial growth has also driven down DFOS costs as deployment methods and system architectures are optimized over millions of pipeline meters, resulting in an often-substantial gap between perceived adoption cost and real project economics. This combination of capability underestimation and life-cycle cost overestimation presents a major challenge for many technology adoption scenarios, with analysis made all the more difficult by a general lack of publicly available project details. This paper reviews case studies from recent DFOS deployments, with a focus on the operational value-in-use realized for a cross-section of commercial applications (i.e., pig tracking, real-time remediation support, temporary pipeline (‘layflat’) management, etc.) as well as the broader business case for life cycle technology costs (i.e., ROI metrics) aimed at providing an accurate understanding of both the costs and capabilities of advanced DFOS systems for integrity management of energy infrastructure. Ultimately the paper will help operators better understand the current state of DFOS technology and make informed decisions regarding its potential and business case to support their existing operations.

<title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Military ground vehicles often have service lives that exceed their original design targets. For this reason, these vehicles typically require technology upgrades during their useful life. When considering design trade-offs, both mature as well as less mature or developing technologies need to be considered against the anticipated service life for the vehicle. Early adoption of technologies that are not sufficiently mature can result in operational reliability and availability issues and increased sustainment costs. However, failure to anticipate technology refresh requirements during the original design phase may result in a platform that cannot be cost effectively upgraded as technology or functional requirements change, limiting the functionality and utility. This paper presents an Innovation Based Design (IBD) process as part of a systems engineering approach that facilitates technology refresh cycles via platform remanufacturing throughout the life of the platform. The IBD process is demonstrated for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for ground vehicles.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Many process plants will continue to operate pressurized equipment well beyond its intended design life. To ensure that the equipment operates safely and reliably requires adoption of an equipment Life-Cycle Management (LCM) process. During equipment design the LCM process requires identification of potential damage mechanisms, and a design that resists or mitigates the damage. For equipment that has been put into operation the LCM process continues with the use of prescriptive or Risk-Based inspection. An evaluation of the in-service inspection results reveals whether any anticipated (i.e., was considered in the initial design) or unanticipated damage has occurred. If the damage is anticipated and within the design limits, the equipment is returned to operation for a period of time that considers the equipment remaining life, with a new inspection at the end of the operational period. If unanticipated damage is discovered the LCM process requires identification of the damage mechanism and a subsequent Fitness-For-Service assessment to facilitate a decision to run as is, or to rerate, repair, or to replace the damaged components. To effectively implement the LCM approach, codes and standards must exist that address each aspect of the process. In addition, ensuring that similar analysis techniques are employed at the time of construction and when conducting in-service assessments requires coordination of the technology integration in these codes and standards. An overview of API, ASME, and other codes and standards is provided together with a discussion of the efforts to integrate technology to support the LCM process.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The new edition of the ISO 15663 standard has been developed during the recent years and will strengthen the industry cost management for business value creation. This paper shows how such standardization can be used to further enhance and promote adoption of a common and consistent approach to life cycle costing in the offshore oil and gas industry. The new ISO 15663 edition maintains key principles from previous editions, but does also introduce an improved and revised management methodology for application of life cycle costing. The purpose is to provide decision support for selecting between alternative options (e.g., projects, operational and technical subject matters) across life cycle phases, also aligned with overall corporate business objectives such as HSE and sustainability. It also provides the means of identifying cost drivers and a framework for value optimization over the entire life of an asset. The international standard is providing an essential set of normative requirements on how to implement and apply the life cycle costing methodology and the decision criteria, supported by an exhaustive part of recommended practices. This includes the identification of common and specific contractual considerations for operators, contractors and vendors (e.g., complementary metrics besides expenditure, such as systems availability guarantee and risk-sharing clauses). It also includes the application in the life cycle phases of an asset, the techniques and data input, examples of application, and assessment and lessons learnt. Capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenditure (OPEX), revenue and lost revenue (LOSTREV) factors are addressed. The standard includes an unambiguous definition of the economic objectives of a project and application of the same business criteria when making major engineering decisions. The life cycle costing methodology is applicable to all asset decisions in any life cycle phase, but should be applied only when expected to add value for decision-support. The required extent of planning and management of the appropriate life cycle costing is depending on the magnitude of the costs involved, the potential value that can be created and the life cycle phase. This paper demonstrates how the new ISO 15663 can be utilized by providing new examples of life cycle costing, to give all participants in the process — oil and gas operators, contractors and vendors — an up-to-date and streamlined set of requirements and guidance, encouraging a fit for purpose application. The paper does also present unique key economic evaluation measures such as life cycle cost (LCC) and net present value (NPV).

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on unconventional thermodynamic cycles and their applications in alternative energy. It looks into these promising advancements, beginning with the exploration of trends in cost, efficiency, and the adoption of various sources of power. By studying historical trends, conventional means of obtaining energy are seen to be currently increasing in efficiency in smaller and smaller increments. The second part of our study is the application of alternative configurations of the Brayton cycle. In particular, this paper analyzes a closed-cycle turbine with supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid. Beginning with a simple cycle calculation, this study adapts the cycle and explores the benefit of recuperated and combined cycle systems. A parametric study was also created, comparing the efficiency versus the specific power of each cycle. Consideration of supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid in turbomachine cycles may demonstrate an economic advantage in the global market. This paper provides a perspective on the feasibility of these developments for realistic applications in industry. Also important to feasibility, it assesses trends in the cost of power generated by each cycle and energy source. With this information, choices may be made on which cycle is more economically promising in today’s market. The results of this study provide a clear indication of relative efficiencies. These efficiencies, in turn, determines the optimal design direction for a particular supercritical carbon dioxide cycle. In addition, the results provide insight into the effect of this technology on the cost and efficiency of concentrated solar power production.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper outlines decarbonization strategies for offshore platforms, focusing primarily on technologies and concepts aimed at curtailing fossil fuel combustion for drive power and electricity generation. Specific topics discussed include high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) power from shore, integration with offshore wind farms, multi-asset microgrids, centralized power hubs (with the potential for carbon capture and storage), and combined cycle power plants. The paper also discusses how digital transformation can be leveraged to incrementally reduce carbon emissions by enabling the adoption of low- or un-manned operation strategies. The authors’ company has been involved in several North Sea electrification and digitalization projects where these concepts have been successfully applied or are in the early stages of implementation (e.g., Hywind Tampen, Troll West, Yggdrasil, Ivar Aasen, Martin Linge, etc.) By drawing on experience and lessons learned, producers and supporting companies in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and other regions can make more informed decisions regarding their decarbonization strategies.

Abstract Due to society’s increasing interest in the impacts of climate change, a new sense of urgency is driving the demand for shorter, successful innovation cycles with increased need for greater technology impact and global scalability. To make this happen, a comprehensive strategy to manage ambiguity, potentially competitive technical environments, and consequential communication hurdles from cross-industry backgrounds are required. For over two decades Chevron Technology Ventures has been hard at work on accelerating our innovation cycle through a specific leadership approach. We have observed five connected challenges frequently encountered when taking an idea from inception to full-scale adoption. We will present this method through looking at one of our projects, adapting genomic sequencing from medical cancer research for drainage heights and well-to-well communication for unconventional reservoirs. This case study will help diverse technical leaders gain direct insight into the 5 keystrategies which we’ve foundshorten the innovation cycle. Proven strategies Include: Forming a dedicated team incorporating an energized champion, along with both technical experts, as well as resources from the business unit targeted for initial deployment.Managing technology ambiguity with key stakeholdersMitigating the potential competitiveness that can stifle innovation and progressBridging communication challenges due to diverse technical backgroundsGrowing healthy relationships and promoting a one team culture This is the firsttime that thiscutting-edge research from the medical industry has been adopted and delivered results in an oil field application. The potential benefits of scaling this technology can aid in optimal unconventional resource development. The strategies presented can help technical leaders and practitioners champion innovation within their organizations.

Jiménez-Crespo, Miguel A. "Professional Translators’ Attitudes Towards Control and Autonomy in the Human-Centered AI Era: Presenting a Survey Study." In New Trends in Translation and Technology Conference 2024. INCOMA Ltd. Shoumen, BULGARIA, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.26615/issn.2815-4711.2024_008.
Full textAbstract:
This paper introduces the theoretical and methodological background for a study on attitudes of US-based professional translators towards self-perceived “control” and “autonomy” in their present and future use of translation technologies. In Human-Centered AI [HCAI] and “intelligence augmentation” approaches, human agents retain full control and autonomy, in parallel to high levels of automation. The rationale for this study is that the normal cycle of translation technology adoption implies “human adaptation”, meaning that translation technologies are developed first, and then it is humans that need to be trained to adapt to an existing technology or workflow. Since we are at the dawn of this new AI technological revolution, it is of utmost importance to identify users’ needs, expectations and attitudes to develop tools that professionals can easily adopt, rather than present tools developed without their feedback that might lead to resistance to adoption. Methodologically, the project involves a self-administered online Qualtrics survey that was available in May-June 2024. This survey includes both quantitative and qualitative questions related to current attitudes towards “perceived control” and autonomy, as well as how professionals expect their autonomy to be respected in the AI era. The present paper presents an overview of the rationale for the study, the theoretical background, research questions, data collection instruments and how the collected data will be analyzed. Keywords: Human-entered AI, translation technologies, control, autonomy, user experience.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the results of an impact evaluation for the CRIAR program, implemented in rural areas in Bolivia. The objective of this program is to increase the agricultural income and food security of smallholder farmers through productivity gains that result from technological adoption. We use data obtained from a sample of 1,287 households-817 beneficiaries and 470 controls- interviewed specifically for this evaluation, and rely on a methodology of Propensity Score Matching. Overall, the main impacts of the program are observed in short- and medium-term variables, including crop diversification, input use and expenditures, and variables related to sales and home consumption. For the medium-term variables, the program had a positive impact on sales at the farm gate, market sales, agricultural income from sales, and a decrease in the proportion of production allocated for home consumption. The program also had a significant and positive impact on the food security of beneficiary households. For the long-term indicators, the analysis did not identify significant impacts on productivity variables. The lack of productivity impacts is probably due to the short period after program implementation, which corresponds to only one agricultural cycle. This length of time may have not been sufficient for farmers to gain experience and knowledge with regards to their effective use of the newly acquired technologies or to adjust the production process through input changes.

Full textAbstract:
Studies have shown that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has some of the highest electricity and water consumption rates in the world. To understand the barriers to the adoption of energy and water efficiency, Emirates Wildlife Society in association with the World Wildlife Fund conducted 363 face-to-face interviews with representatives of companies tasked with energy and water management. The purpose was to understand the most important barriers hindering the UAE’s private sector from achieving wide-scale energy and water efficiency and to begin to identify solutions to mitigate these barriers. This paper focuses on technology costs as a barrier to energy and water efficiency in the commercial sector. Preliminary analysis indicates that, for the commercial sector, a contributing factor to the perception that efficient technologies are costly is the lack of accurate information on the full range and life cycle costs and benefits of efficient products. The most immediate solutions would be to address the financing and informational aspects of the technology cost barrier, as well as potentially provide incentives, such as rebates. In addition, attention must be given to barriers underlying many of the technology cost issues, such as subsidized tariffs and relatively few standards that would encourage adoption.

Full textAbstract:
It provides a comprehensive overview of how these innovations are being employed to enhance efficiency and sustainability in agricultural practices, covering topics such as regenerative agriculture, precision agriculture, and agricultural technologies (AgTech). The report concludes with an analysis of the challenges and opportunities faced by farmers during the process of technology adoption. The document is structured around the different stages of the agricultural cycle: soil preparation, sowing operations, crop protection and management, smart harvesting, and digital harvest management. For each stage, relevant technological solutions are described, such as soil and climate sensors, planting robots, pest management and irrigation systems, as well as digital management platforms. The analysis follows a deductive approach, tailored to the Mexican context, while considering local crop types and farming formats. The most recent available data have been considered, and where Mexico-specific information was unavailable, regional information or insights from similar crops in comparable areas have been included. The report also highlights technologies excluded due to high risks or implementation costs, offering detailed justifications for these exclusions.

Full textAbstract:
In todays world, all private entities need to adopt a consistent approach to managing sustainability, including Venture Capital (VC) Funds. A sustainability approach helps to identify and better manage risks faced by the VC fund. It also improves efficiency, predictability and planning, the quality of investments, and increases transparency and accountability. The VC industry lags other asset classes in the adoption of sustainability approaches. Due to their small size, agile operation, and focus on innovation and technology, there are few bespoke sustainability resources for VC Funds, making it more difficult for them to apply ESG principles. As a result, VC Funds have largely been observers in an ever-changing sustainability agenda. This Sustainable Investment Playbook provides a blueprint for VC Funds who wish to implement a sustainability approach. It was designed together with VC Funds, and aims to be a practical tool, providing a review of the existing literature and resources available, as well as a step-by-step guidance on how to implement a sustainability approach, covering all stages of the venture investment cycle. Time is of the essence for VC funds and VC-backed companies; Sustainable Investing is a must but not yet a given.

León, Carlos, and Kimmo Soramäki. The Next Generation RTGS: Liquidity Saving Mechanisms as an Overlay Service. FNA, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.69701/cfcz133.
Full textAbstract:
Between 1985 and 2006, a total of 96 central banks implemented Real-time Gross Settlement (RTGS) systems. The adoption of this technology was driven to reduce risks inherent in the then-predominant Deferred Net Settlement (DNS) systems. However, because RTGS systems consume large amounts of liquidity when each payment is settled individually, many RTGS systems (e.g., CHAPS and Target2) implemented Liquidity-Saving Mechanisms (LSMs) of varying complexity, with most deploying variations of the algorithm presented by Morten Bech and Kimmo Soramäki (the co-author) in 2001. Many of these systems are now at the end of their investment cycle, and a conversation has begun on what technology the next generation of RTGS systems should employ. In this paper, we argue that the concept of an LSM Overlay Service that separates the functioning of the core central bank ledger, the RTGS system, and the LSMs has several benefits over existing system architectures. An LSM Overlay Service will rearrange how interbank payments are processed. This service overlays the RTGS system with LSMs that resequence (and in case of PvP or DvP synchronise) payment orders before they reach a "thin" RTGS system with very basic operational processing functionality. Introducing the LSM Overlay Service unlocks many benefits for financial institutions while preserving the central bank's mandate to guarantee the safe and efficient functioning of the payment system with a more resilient service at a lower cost.

Grand-Clément, Sarah. Assessing Technologies to Counter the Diversion of Small Arms and Light Weapons. UNIDIR, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.37559/caap/24/erc/09.
Full textAbstract:
Countering the Diversion of arms using TEChnology Tools (D-TECT) is a joint project by the Flemish Peace Institute (FPI) and the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR). The aim of Project D-TECT is to develop and test an approach to identifying and assessing the utility and feasibility of using specific technologies that could be used to support or strengthen existing initiatives aimed at detecting, preventing, and mitigating the diversion of conventional weapons. Project D-TECT consists of two consecutive phases. The first phase was to identify existing technologies that could be suited to countering the diversion of conventional weapon systems and develop a framework that makes it possible to identify and assess technologies used to counter diversion. The second phase is to assess, refine and validate the list of identified technologies in relation to specific types of conventional weapon systems. This current paper is a product of the second phase of the research. It focuses on examining the extent to which different technologies could help counter the diversion of small arms and light weapons and the barriers to their implementation. Based on a series of stakeholder engagements, this paper examines the relevance and applicability of 14 technologies to support or strengthen efforts to counter the diversion of small arms and light weapons (SALW). All 14 technologies were assessed by the stakeholders who took part in the research to have potential relevance in helping to counter SALW diversion. However, the relevance of the technologies did differ depending on the life cycle stage (i.e., pre-export, transfer or post-delivery) and whether they were most suitable to helping with prevention, detection or identification. The findings also show that the adoption of technology will also necessitate overcoming a number of systemic barriers. As a result, the paper provides a non-exhaustive overview of possible options which could be undertaken to overcome or mitigate these barriers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Quantum startups are at the forefront of deep-tech commercialization, driving advancements in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensing. However, despite their revolutionary potential, these startups face significant technical, financial, and regulatory challenges that hinder their scalability and market adoption. Unlike traditional tech ventures, quantum startups require high capital investment, specialized infrastructure, and long R&D cycles, making them dependent on government funding, venture capital, and corporate partnerships. This research examines the key barriers to commercializing quantum technologies, including qubit coherence, error correction, and hardware scalability, as well as the talent shortages and intellectual property (IP) complexities associated with quantum innovation. Additionally, it explores regulatory hurdles, investment risks, and emerging business models that shape the quantum industry. By analyzing successful quantum startups, global quantum policies, and strategic commercialization frameworks, this study provides a comprehensive roadmap for accelerating deep-tech quantum entrepreneurship and bridging the gap between research breakthroughs and market-ready quantum solutions. Keywords Quantum startups, deep-tech commercialization, quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum sensing, quantum innovation, venture capital, quantum R&D, quantum hardware scalability, investment risks in quantum technology, quantum business models, intellectual property in quantum tech, quantum industry regulations, quantum error correction, qubit coherence, quantum entrepreneurship, quantum commercialization strategies, government funding for quantum startups, talent shortage in quantum science, quantum ecosystem development.

Chea, Phal, Muytieng Tek, and Sorsesekha Nok. Gender Gap Reversal in Learning and Gender-Responsive Teaching in Cambodia. Cambodia Development Resource Institute, 2023. https://doi.org/10.64202/wp.141.202307.
Full textAbstract:
In the past two decades, Cambodia has been committed to the global agenda of ensuring that all children from all walks of life have access to education and quality learning opportunities. The focus was not only on access to education but also on gender parity and learning quality. Three years after the adoption of the Dakar Framework for Action in 2003, Cambodia adopted the national plan for Education for All (EFA) as a guiding pathway to realise the government’s commitments toward the education goals reiterated in the Dakar Framework. Cambodia has made subsequent development in education, notably making education more accessible and equal, particularly at the primary level. Girls greatly benefited from expanded access to education, and the gender parity index markedly increased as a result. In fact, by 2013, the parity index increased so dramatically that girls’ enrolment started to surpass boys’ enrolment for the first time. In recent years, Cambodian girls not only outnumber boys in terms of enrolment but also learning performance. However, little attention is paid to this gender issue. Additionally, it is especially concerning that the majority of Cambodian students in primary and secondary schools fail to acquire the expected basic knowledge and skills by the end of each cycle. Amongst good practices in teaching and learning, gender-responsive pedagogy (GRP) is found to have a positive learning impact for both boys and girls. Yet, little is known about the government's commitment to GRP and its practice on the ground in Cambodia. This research aims to analyse the national policies related to gender and teacher professional development, investigate learning disparities, evaluate teaching practices using the GRP lens, and identify interventions to increase gender equity in Cambodia. An analysis of policies reveals that Cambodia has prioritised human resource development and gender equality in its national development plan, particularly by implementing the Neary Rattanak Strategic Plan led by the Ministry of Women Affairs (MoWA). The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) has also taken steps to promote gender equality and inclusivity in education through the Gender Mainstreaming Strategic Plan. Girls are given priority in scholarships in order to increase girls’ enrolment, and both the Child-Friendly School Policy and the Policy on Inclusive Education aim to ensure inclusive and gender-responsive schooling. The government’s continued focus on girls as a disadvantaged group is evident in these policies. Furthermore, government efforts, like the “One Commune, One Lower Secondary School” initiative that aims to establish at least one lower secondary school in each commune, have also made headway in combating gender inequity. Together, these policies clearly demonstrate the government’s dedication to addressing gender disparities, facilitating equal access to quality education in Cambodia. Data from SEA-PLM reveals that girls consistently outperform boys in primary school, particularly in writing proficiency. In the PISA-D assessment, girls scored higher than boys in reading and science, although the gender difference does not extend to mathematics. Cultural expectations, differences in behaviour and dedication to learning, use of digital devices, and socioeconomic factors are believed to be factors contributing to the observed gender gap reversal, where boys underperform compared to girls. Furthermore, boys are often expected to provide financial support for their families; thus, their family's socioeconomic status can play a role in their educational achievement. Efforts are being made to integrate GRP into teaching practices to ensure favourable learning experience and achievement for both boys and girls. Although endeavours are made to ensure equal opportunities and participation for both genders, variations exist among teachers regarding classroom and seating arrangements and gender-based violence, among other practices. Several interventions have been implemented to promote gender equity and the use of GRP in Cambodia. The TIGER project focused on enhancing teachers’ knowledge and skills through training and integrating GRP practices in schools resulting in the transformation of educational institutions. Other interventions include the Life Skills Learning for Adolescent Girls (LSLAG) project, which aimed to empower girls with life skills for their transition to adulthood, and the Life Skills for Gender Equality project, which expanded the prior project’s focus to boys to support their academic success and challenge harmful gender norms. These interventions involve life skills lessons and parent/community engagement focusing on promoting gender equity and creating gender-responsive learning environments in schools. Finally, this study offers several policy implications to promote inclusive and quality education in Cambodia. Efforts should be made to address the emerging gender gap reversal by designing policies and interventions that specifically target the challenges faced by boys that hinder their learning, including excessive engagement with technology, prioritising social activities over their studies, and ameliorating the impact of family socioeconomic factors. Ensuring equal opportunities and support for both boys and girls should be a central goal. Future gender policies need to reflect the need for increased support for boys accurately. Additionally, teacher professional development programs need to be strengthened with a particular emphasis on GRP. Comprehensive and systematic training should be provided to teachers, including gender-sensitive teaching practices, effective classroom management, and creating inclusive learning environments. Ongoing support and monitoring should be prioritised to ensure the successful implementation of these training programs. Furthermore, the implementation of GRP can be enhanced by including it in the pre-service training programs. Doing so would encourage teachers to incorporate GRP concepts into their teaching practices, establish consistent guidelines, and promote effective implementation across schools and teachers.
