Edge-AI Solutions For Low-Energy Iot Networks In Smart Cities
type: item
description: The exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) systems in smart cities has exacerbated the need of energy-saving, low-latency, and privacy-preserving Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. In this paper, the authors investigate the performance of three AI deployment paradigms on a simulated low-energy IoT network Cloud-based AI, Edge-AI, and Federated Edge-AI. Four key performance measures were tested with the computation of the energy consumption, latency, bandwidth use, and inference accuracy using quantitative experimentation with fifty IoT nodes within equal computational conditions. The findings have proved that Cloud-based AI is the most accurate (96.9%), but it has high energy and latency overheads since data is processed in a central location. By comparison, Edge-AI consumes 52% less energy and latency with 73% less compared to localized computation efficiency. The Federated Edge-AI paradigm is the best balanced to provide a reduction of 66 percent in energy consumption and 25 percent in bandwidth efficiency, at a small accuracy cost (95.0 percent) relative to the cloud. The other normalized Composite Performance Index merely proves the excellence of Federated Edge-AI (CPI = 0.86) when compared to Edge (0.66) and Cloud (0.25) architectures. The paper summarizes on the fact that federated learning and edge computing is a sustainable, scalable, and privacy-preserving architecture of the next-generation smart city IoT ecosystems. Such hybrid teams are capable of supporting near-cloud intelligence and delivering much higher network resilience and resource efficiency and is a paradigm shift of decentralized AI systems.

MANAGEMENT STUDIES AFTER ENGINEERING: A GOLDEN KEY FOR JOB USING TEXT MINING ANALYSIS
type: item
description: Industries are continuously struggling to select suitable employees from the set of graduates as they have lack of skills to be placed. This struggle not only in India this have been a great issue all over the industries around globe and this in turn made most of the graduates being unemployed. In India, across different economic sectors there is a necessity of surveying skills that industries require and understanding the demands of industry thereby updating their eligibility and strategy that make increase in graduates getting hired. Previous models suggest online courses or study materials to develop eligibility but other criteria like soft skills, leadership quality, decision making and flexibility to update advancement were not considered. As these skills in turn increases the pay scale, therefore this paper aims to analyze the job profiles from different industries based on their eligibility, pay scale and their readiness to get employed from the given data. The results shows that the eligibility get increased while engineering graduates broaden their technical ability in financial studies also and similarly this criteria of studying financial studies has increase demand with high pay scale of 60LPA this increase has been measured year wise and the results are presented.

Investigating the Impact of Customer Response Capability on Infusion of Information Systems: A Cross-Sectoral Study of Banking and Higher Education Sector Institutions from Pakistan
type: item
description: Effective infusion of information systems by employees has emerged as a critical enabler of organizational performance in this age of digital transformation, particularly in service-oriented sectors. This study investigates the role of firm-level Customer Response Capability (CRC) in shaping Employees’ Infusion Use of Information Systems (EIUIS) across two distinct service domains—higher education institutions and the banking sector in Pakistan. Drawing on data collected from 95 customer relationship managers and 283 frontline employees from 95 organizations from both sectors, separate regression analyses were conducted to assess the strength of the CRC-EIUIS relationship within each sector. The findings reveal a significant and positive association between CRC and EIUIS in both sectors, with a notably stronger effect observed in the banking industry compared to higher education institutions. These results highlight the critical role of responsive organizational capabilities in enhancing employee engagement with IS tools. The comparatively weaker relationship in higher education suggests the presence of institutional barriers such as siloed structures and limited system integration, which may hinder the translation of response capability into system use. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital adoption and service performance by emphasizing the sectoral contingencies that shape IS infusion behaviours. Practical implications are offered for managers seeking to leverage technology-driven responsiveness to foster deeper IS use among employees and improve service quality.

Exploring the Nexus of ICT and Social Media Tools in Revolutionizing Researcher Development Framework: A Study among LIS Research Scholars
type: item
description: Purpose: This study examines the relationship between ICT skills, SMTs usage, and the four domains of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) among LIS scholars. Methodology: A quantitative research approach was employed, using a census method to collect data from 247 LIS postgraduate students (MPhil and PhD) enrolled in both public and private sector universities in Pakistan from 2015 to 2019. A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data. Data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to examine relationships between ICT skills, SMT adoption, and RDF domains. Findings: A significant correlation was found between LIS scholars’ ICT skills and SMTs usage (β = 0.72, p < .01). LIS scholars’ use of SMTs significantly enhanced three RDF domains: engagement influence and impact (β = 0.49, p < .01); research governance and organization (β = 0.81, p < .01); and personal effectiveness (β = 0.55, p < .01). However, knowledge and intellectual abilities (β = 0.05, p > .05) did not influence SMTs usage among LIS scholars. Originality/value: This study uniquely applies the Vitae RDF framework to SMTs adoption among LIS scholars, contributing to digital researcher development. The findings contribute to future policy recommendations on ICT integration in academia. Keywords: Social media tools; Researcher development framework; ICT; LIS scholars

Design and Application of College Classroom Teaching Based on Cognitive Fuzzy Learning System
type: item
description: With the rapid development of information technology and the constant change of college education model, traditional classroom teaching methods have been unable to meet students' needs for individuality, flexibility and interaction. Cognitive fuzzy learning system (CFLS), as a new intelligent teaching tool combining Fuzzy Cognitive Map, FCM) and cognitive load theory, provides a new idea for classroom teaching design by dynamically analyzing classroom data and adjusting teaching strategies in real time. This study constructs a dynamic classroom design model based on CFLS, and systematically discusses the application effect of CFLS in college classroom teaching through questionnaire survey, model experiment and classroom application. The results show that CFLS can significantly improve the flexibility and adaptability of classroom design, and promote the double improvement of students' learning effect and teachers' classroom satisfaction. At the same time, CFLS shows good adaptability in different disciplines, and its real-time feedback mechanism can effectively support personalized teaching, adjustment of learning progress and optimization of teaching interaction. Although CFLS has obvious application advantages, this study also found that its adaptability and feedback mechanism in complex classroom scenes need to be further improved. This study not only verifies the potential of CFLS in modern teaching, but also provides practical reference for the construction of intelligent classroom teaching mode in the future.

Integrated Financial Management Information System and budgetary control nexus: anempirical analysis of the 47 Kenya’s county governments
type: item
description: Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) implementation by government and public sectors always intended to promote efficiency, enhance accountability and transparency in the public finance management. However, despite it wide adoption in most public institution and entities globally where the system has been implemented, significant challenges still persist ranging from poor expenditure tracking, budgeting control and lack of fiscal discipline. This rises concern whether IFMIS implementation is really effective in promoting financial management. Therefore, this study examined the role of integrated financial management information system in budgetary control among the 47 counties in Kenya. The dependent variable of the study was budgetary control measured as budgetary variance between fiscal years and accountability while the independent variables were cash management, internal control system, pending bills management and public policy implementation. Secondary panel data for 47 counties sourced from financial report and audited statements between 2015 and 2022 was collected for analysis. . The collected data was analyzed using correlation analysis technique and fixed effect regression analysis to ascertain the nature and the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The study established a positive and significant relationship between cash management, pending bills accumulation and public policy implementation and budgetary variance. On the other hand a negative and significant relationship between internal control systems development and budgetary control established meaning the system development reduces budgetary variances. Based on these findings, the study recommends implementation of IFMIS in the public sector’s financial management through monitoring cash management, pending bills accumulation and public policy implementation in the counties to control greater budget variation. Second the study recommends increase in intern…

Examining the Research Outputs of Library and Information Science Postgraduates: The Role of Institutional Supports
type: item
description: Objective: This study assessed the quality of postgraduate research output in Library and Information Science (LIS) in South-South Nigerian universities, focusing on the impact of institutional support. It examined differences in support levels across universities, the influence of academic experience and admission intake on research publications, and the relationship between institutional backing and research productivity. Methods: A correlational research design was employed, involving 152 postgraduate LIS students from Delta State University, Abraka, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, and Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt. A multistage sampling approach was used for participant selection. Data were collected using the "Institutional Supports and Research Outputs of Postgraduate Students Questionnaire" (ISROPSQ), with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.73. Statistical analyses included t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC). Results: Institutional support levels were similar across universities (p = 0.921), between M.Sc. and Ph.D. students (p = 0.927), and among different academic sessions (p = 0.828). A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.406, p < 0.001) was found between institutional support and research productivity, indicating that stronger institutional backing enhances research outcomes. Findings: Although institutional support was consistent across universities, its adequacy remained uncertain. To improve research quality, the study recommends increased research funding, enhanced mentoring, and better academic resources to foster a more research-driven environment for postgraduate LIS students in South-South Nigeria.

Role Identity, Self-Disclosure and Expectations in Married Men and Women
type: item
description: The present study investigated the relationship between Role Identity, Self-Disclosure and Expectations in Married Men and Women. Using quantitative approach data were collected from 300 married men and women (men=164 and women= 136) through a convenient sampling method. The Demographic Questionnaire, The Gender Role Beliefs Scale, The Relationship Standard Questionnaire, and The Self-Disclosure Index were employed. Correlational analysis revealed that Role Identity and Self-Disclosure were significantly associated with Expectations. The Hierarchical regression analysis findings suggested that Role Identity is a negative predictor while Self-disclosure is a positive predictor of Expectations, with all blocks found significant. Mediation analysis indicated that Role identity has a positive relationship with self-disclosure, which in turn predicts marital expectations, while role identity does not have a significant direct relationship with marital expectations. This study had the potential to make a significant contribution to our understanding of role identity, self-disclosure and expectations in married men and women in Pakistan. The findings can be used to inform interventions that can improve the well-being and academic success of students. The findings can inform interventions aimed at enhancing relationship satisfaction, improving communication and supporting couples in managing expectations.

The Impact of ERP Implementation on User Satisfaction while Working from Home during Mass Movement Restrictions
type: item
description: As the COVID-19 pandemic intensified in Indonesia in 2020, companies and organizations have devised measures in order to adapt with the absence of physical workforce presence in the workplace, including implementing work-from-home (WfH) regimes, where the employee conducts work operations from their residence. Adapting into a new working environment, however, is often a considerable challenge for companies and organizations of all stripes, especially in ensuring that users can properly adjust themselves and maintain a degree of work efficiency. The work efficiency of users while using an widespread and integrated company business solution, especially enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is often measured by the overall satisfaction of each user. To measure user satisfaction while using an ERP-based enterprise resource management system for work-from-home operations, this research attempts to conduct a survey in an institution or organization that has been sending employees to work from home by collecting responses from employees. The questionnaire will have each respondent evaluate the three relevant variables (benefits, risks and barriers) while using the ERP based system to work from home, which will then be used to measure its correlation with the users’ satisfaction relative to the three factors using the one-way ANOVA correlation method. Research results have yielded a positive correlation between the variables of system effectiveness and user satisfaction, indicating that the use of ERP is generally satisfactory to its users and that ERP systems prove beneficial in assisting organizations in their WfH regime, within the restrictions of a public health issue and beyond.

Solving the University Timetabling Problem Considering Teachers’ Preferences: Modeling and Solution Using Binary Integer Programming
type: item
description: The University Timetabling Problem (UTP) poses a significant challenge for educational institutions worldwide, involving the scheduling of teaching activities while considering various constraints and objectives. This paper addresses the UTP by incorporating teachers' preferences into the timetabling process, aiming to create an efficient timetable that meets standard constraints and satisfies teachers' preferences. We propose a binary integer linear programming model to solve the University Timetabling Problem Considering Teachers' Preference (UTPTP). The model's objective function is designed to accurately reflect teachers' priorities by assigning weights to preference orders, and normalization is employed to scale down preferences. Implementing the model in a case study for the Statistics Program at the Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, demonstrates its capability to accommodate various scenarios while meeting teachers' preferences. Manual adjustments post-solution further refine the timetable, ensuring practical considerations are adequately addressed. This combined approach provides a robust framework for solving the teaching timetable problem, offering flexibility and adaptability to different institutional contexts and requirements.
