This paper analyzes the proportion of Input/output devices made obsolete by changes in technology generations. This obsolescence may be by new software/hardware generations rendering otherwise functional devices unusable. Concluding with brief analysis on the economic and environmental impacts of the e-waste produced.
In this note, a connection between inter-rater reliability and individual fairness is established. It is shown that inter-rater reliability is a special case of individual fairness, a notion of fairness requiring that similar people are treated similarly.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a complication characterized by disturbances in attention, awareness, and cognitive function that occur shortly after surgery or emergence from anesthesia. Since it occurs prevalently in neurosurgical patients and poses great threats to the well-being of patients, much emphasis is placed on POD in neurosurgical units. However, there are intricate theories about its pathogenesis and limited pharmacological interventions for POD. In this study, we review the recent insights into its pathogenesis, mainly based on studies within five years, and the five dominant pathological theories that account for the development of POD, with the intention of furthering our understanding and boosting its clinical management.
The idea of fairness and justice has long and deep roots in Western civilization, and is strongly linked to ethics. It is therefore not strange that it is core to the current discussion about the ethics of development and use of AI systems. In this short paper, I wish to further motivate my position in this matter: ``I will never be completely fair. Nothing ever is. The point is not complete fairness, but the need to establish metrics and thresholds for fairness that ensure trust in AI systems".
The importance of digital identity as a foundation for digital public services is considered. As the classical, centralised model digital identity has proven to be subject to several limitations, self-sovereign identities are proposed as replacement, especially in the context of e-government platforms and direct participation to policymaking (e.g. through e-voting tools).
This research is comparing learning environments to students dropout intentions. While using statistics I looked at data and the correlations between two articles to see how the two studies looked side to side. Learning environments and dropout intentions can both have vary effects on students. They can both determine if a student does well, or bad in school especially math.
Use of artificial intelligence is growing and expanding into applications that impact people's lives. People trust their technology without really understanding it or its limitations. There is the potential for harm and we are already seeing examples of that in the world. AI researchers have an obligation to consider the impact of intelligent applications they work on. While the ethics of AI is not clear-cut, there are guidelines we can consider to minimize the harm we might introduce.
With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) services and products in recent years, issues related to their trustworthiness have emerged and AI service providers need to be prepared for various risks. In this policy recommendation, we propose a risk chain model (RCModel) that supports AI service providers in proper risk assessment and control. We hope that RCModel will contribute to the realization of trustworthy AI services.
Engaging students in teaching foundational Computer Science concepts is vital for the student's continual success in more advanced topics in the field. An idea of a series of Jupyter notebooks was conceived as a way of using Bloom's Taxonomy to reinforce concepts taught in an introductory algorithms class. The idea of the notebook is to keep the student's engaged in the lesson and in turn motivate them to persevere through the end of the course.
Clearly, socio-economic freedom requires some extent of transparency regarding the implications of choices. In this paper, we review some established mechanisms for achieving such transparency, without any claim to completeness, and briefly discuss potential future directions. Our investigation is structured by four "challenges" under which we subsume the various requirements on, and approaches to, socio-economic transparency mechanisms. One main focus is on the inference, i.e., statistical, aspect of such mechanisms.
This paper explores the alignment of enterprise systems and organisations on the post-adoptive phase. A research model is presented focusing on the alignment decisions in the managerial search process for solutions to business problems related to enterprise systems. Based on the research model we propose research questions for future research, particularly to analyse how managerial identity would affect the alignment decisions.
The recruitment process is a slow and inefficient one at best, and a potentially ineffective one at worst. Matching candidates to jobs is one thing, but matching candidates with jobs alongside appropriate expectations and taking into account the right aptitude and suitability for any given role is another thing and in this paper we look at a whole new way of matching jobs with potential candidates as well as matching against their overall suitability for a given role.
Virtual enterprise is a new form of organization in recent years which adapt to the IT environment. Information resources management implemented in the virtual enterprise is determined by the form of business organization and information exchange mechanisms. According to the present characteristics of virtual enterprise management, it puts forward the strategies and measures of information resources management framework for virtual enterprise.
Article about the new form of trade in a network the Internet. Advantages of dropshipping open to the Russian manufacturers and businessmen new horizons in international trade and marketing. The author considers features of evolution and a role of dropshipping in electronic commerce of a new millennium.
The smart shower is an intelligent device that saves the water during the shower. It uses the indicator lamps that inform the user of the amount of the water. Like the traffic signal it has three sets of lamps, green, yellow and red, each indicating the amount of time spent. This device brain is the Siemens Logo PLC.
This thesis analyses UK SPs with an informetric approach to study (1) the role of public science and HEIs in research and development (R&D) networks associated with SPs, and (2) the web-based patterns that reflect the configuration of R&D support infrastructures associated with SPs.
Today's lectures are often talks following a straight line of slides. In many lectures the process of content teaching is not as efficient as it could be. Technologies, such as smart-phones and wireless communication, enable a new level of interaction between lecturer, content and audience. We describe how current lecture material can be semantically enhanced, to interactively assist the audience during and after a lecture.
