We propose an approach for ranking microblog search results. The basic idea is to leverage user engagement for the purpose of ranking: if a microblog post received many retweets/replies, this means users find it important and it should be ranked higher. However, simply applying the raw count of engagement may bias the ranking by favoring posts from celebrity users whose posts generally receive a disproportionate amount of engagement regardless of the contents of posts. To reduce this bias, we propose a variety of time window-based outlier features that transfer the raw engagement count into an importance score, on a per user basis. The evaluation on five real-world datasets confirms that the proposed approach can be used to improve microblog search.

Online reviewer societies flourish on contributions from different reviewers, who display a wavering engagement behavior. Effort has been made in the e-marketing literature for segmenting individuals with the help of their engagement behavior. In this study, the authors segment the reviewers of a popular travel website (TripAdvisor) through k-means clustering based on three dimensions (F-frequency, H-helpfulness, R-recency), resulting in four different reviewer segments-valuable, trustworthy, new and valueless. The authors calculate the reviewer value using fuzzy AHP and then rank the reviewer segment accordingly. The authors find that the valuable reviewers, who post eWOM regularly and get greater helpful votes by eWOM readers, are the most important. Surprisingly, the trustworthy, who also get more helpful votes with higher eWOM volume, but not posting any review recently, are the second most important. This research is a novel effort on reviewer segmentation and gives valuable insights to e-marketers.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present an alternative to university ranking lists published in U.S. News & World Report, Times Higher Education, Academic Ranking of World Universities and Money Magazine. A strategy is proposed to mine a collection of university data obtained from Twitter and publicly available online academic sources to compute social media metrics that approximate typical academic rankings of US universities. Design/methodology/approach The Twitter application programming interface (API) is used to rank 264 universities using two easily collected measurements. The University Twitter Engagement (UTE) score is the total number of primary and secondary followers affiliated with the university. The authors mine other public data sources related to endowment funds, athletic expenditures and student enrollment to compute a ranking based on the endowment, expenditures and enrollment (EEE) score. Findings In rank-to-rank comparisons, the authors observed a significant, positive rank correlation (τ = 0.6018) between UTE and an aggregate reputation ranking, which indicates UTE could be a viable proxy for ranking atypical institutions normally excluded from traditional lists. Originality/value The UTE and EEE metrics offer distinct advantages because they can be calculated on-demand rather than relying on an annual publication and they promote diversity in the ranking lists, as any university with a Twitter account can be ranked by UTE and any university with online information about enrollment, expenditures and endowment can be given an EEE rank. The authors also propose a unique approach for discovering official university accounts by mining and correlating the profile information of Twitter friends.

The study presents an innovative approach aimed at amplifying student engagement with the Selfmade Ninja labs, utilizing a reward-centric framework that prioritizes user efficiency. This approach involves the meticulous calculation of various CPU metrics, encompassing elements such as CPU usage, memory usage, download and upload statistics, process identifiers, as well as read and write statistics. These metrics collectively offer a comprehensive view of user interactions within the platform. The gathered data is thoughtfully curated and stored in a JSON file, facilitating efficient data management and analysis. To facilitate the realization of this approach, a sophisticated machine-learning model is deployed. This model serves the pivotal purpose of predicting user efficiency, a crucial factor in determining the efficacy of their engagement with the Selfmade Ninja labs. Building upon this predictive prowess, a system of credits is established, intricately tied to a leaderboard that reflects individual user performances. Through this dynamic reward distribution mechanism, users are incentivized to actively participate and continually enhance their proficiency, thereby fostering a vibrant learning ecosystem. The culmination of this endeavour is a finely tuned predictive model that seamlessly allocates rewards to users based on their demonstrated engagement and proficiency. This tailored approach not only magnifies user motivation but also significantly augments the overall educational impact of the Selfmade Ninja platform. The integration of insights derived from both exploratory data analysis (EDA) and the predictive model ensures a holistic understanding of user behaviors and preferences. Consequently, the proposed reward-based system is elevated to a new level of efficacy, nurturing a learning environment where students are empowered to engage more meaningfully with the Selfmade Ninja labs, fostering enhanced learning outcomes.

Mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change can be addressed only through the collective action of multiple agents. The engagement of involved agents critically depends on their perception that the burdens and benefits of collective action are distributed fairly. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which inform climate policies, focus on the minimization of costs and the maximization of overall utility, but they rarely pay sufficient attention to how costs and benefits are distributed among agents. Consequently, some agents may perceive the resultant model-based policy recommendations as unfair. In this paper, we propose how to adjust the objectives optimized within IAMs so as to derive policy recommendations that can plausibly be presented to agents as fair. We review approaches to aggregating the utilities of multiple agents into fairness-relevant social rankings of outcomes, analyze features of these rankings, and associate with them collections of properties that a model’s objective function must have to operationalize each of these rankings within the model. Moreover, for each considered ranking, we propose a selection of specific objective functions that can conveniently be used for generating this ranking in a model. Maximizing these objective functions within existing IAMs allows exploring and identifying climate polices to which multiple agents may be willing to commit.

The notion of third mission (3M) activities is becoming increasingly important to exploit universities’ knowledge and capabilities in society. Besides, there is an emerging need of reflection of these activities in ranking methodologies of universities. In Pakistan, national ranking of universities is conducted by HEI statutory body. The purpose of this study is to assess the methodology of national ranking of HEIs in Pakistan for the reflection of third mission activities i.e., entrepreneurial and societal engagement. Content analysis was performed on the national ranking methodology based on Third Mission Model by Molas-Gallart, Salter, Patel, Scott and Duran (2002). The findings of this study revealed that only 1.03% of the third mission activities are reflected in the methodology of the national ranking system of HEI statutory body i.e., Patents (0.52%), ORICs (0.17%), Grant (0.17%) and Exchange (0.17%).This study will provide a critical base to policy makers, to incorporate third mission activities in ranking methodology to address the emerging economic and social challenges faced by the country.

Creative dialogue is a distinct emergent form of interfaith engagement that should be accounted for in any typology of interfaith dialogue methodologies. Creative dialogue features artistic collaboration and the engagement of interpersonal, artistic, and literary methods toward increasing civic interaction, civic discourse, and awareness of diversity. In this article, the analysis of creative dialogue is grounded in data derived from ethnographic study of an interfaith magazine and programme office located in Rome, Italy, and then parsed with scholarly literature about the benefits of engaging in non-discursive modalities. Creative dialogue is shown to allow for the analytical inclusion of dialogue that is neither discursive, nor overtly religious; one that is chiefly experiential, yet often yields a concrete product. This study of creative dialogue – which extends the boundaries of the standard construct of ‘interfaith dialogue’ far beyond institutional contexts with high-ranking clergy and religious elites – is grounded in a post-secular analysis of religious diversity and pluralism that shows that interfaith dialogue, like religious practice, is fluid, relational, embodied, creative, and socially embedded.

Indonesia has 106.9 million active TikTok users aged 18 and above. TikTok is designed for engagement in many ways, as it actively encourages two-way communication and eye-catching content. Uploaded content must have its uniqueness variable. In increasing the engagement of a TikTok account, criteria are chosen based on the COBRA concept (consuming, contributing, and creating) and alternatives based on social media content trends in Indonesia (tutorial, educational, a day in my life, behind the scene dan tips and trick). This research was conducted by implementing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to select the content that must be prioritized to get engagement from the wider community. From the data processing results obtained, tutorial content is the best content in increasing engagement results, especially TikTok. Content that has the lowest engagement is behind the scene content. Further research can be carried out through a group decision support system with various related experts. It can also be combined with the BORDA, TOPSIS, and Profile Matching methods to optimize ranking results.

Teaching sorting and searching algorithms in Data Structures and Algorithms courses is often challenging due to their abstract nature. Traditional lecture-based methods frequently fail to provide students with an intuitive understanding of these essential concepts, leading to poor engagement and comprehension. This research explores the use of a game-based learning approach, specifically the card ranking method, to address these challenges and enhance student learning. The study was conducted with the 2021/2022 batch of students enrolled in the Data Structures and Algorithms course. The card ranking method involved creating ten cards, each representing a number, and having ten students hold these cards. A sorting algorithm, such as insertion sort, was displayed on the screen, and the students physically enacted the algorithm by swapping positions based on the logic of the displayed algorithm. This interactive approach allowed students to visualize and actively participate in the sorting process, transforming an abstract concept into an engaging physical activity. Findings revealed that this method significantly improved students’ understanding of sorting and searching algorithms. Feedback collected from students indicated a high level of satisfaction, with many requesting the continuation of this method for teaching other algorithms. The activity fostered active participation, collaboration, and engagement, which are essential components of effective learning. This research underscores the potential of game-based learning approaches to address learning challenges in computer science education. By integrating interactive methods such as the card ranking method, educators can foster deeper comprehension and increase student interest in complex topics. Future work will explore the application of this method to additional algorithms and assess its scalability in larger classrooms.

AbstractIntroduction:This study employed the Delphi method, an exploratory method used for group consensus building, to determine the benefits and challenges associated with community engagement in patient-centered outcomes research.Methods:A series of email surveys were sent to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)-funded researchers (n = 103) in New England. Consensus was achieved through gathering themes and engaging participants in ranking their level of agreement over three rounds. In round one, participant responses were coded thematically and then tallied. In round two participants were asked to state their level of agreement with each of the themes using a Likert scale. Finally, in round three, the group was asked to rank the round two themes based on potential impact.Results:Results suggested the greatest benefit of community engagement is that it brings multiple perspectives to the table, with 92% ranking it as the first or second most important contribution. Time was ranked as the most significant barrier to engaging community. Strategies to overcome barriers to community engagement include engaging key stakeholders early in the research, being kind and respectful and spending time with stakeholders. The most significant finding was that no researchers reported having specific measures to evaluate community engagement.Conclusion:Community engagement can enhance both research relevance and methodology when researchers are engaged in meaningful collaborations. Advancing the science of community engagement will require the development of evaluation metrics to examine the multiple domains of partnership.

Cette thèse examine les effets des systèmes algorithmiques utilisés par les grandes plateformes en ligne sur le discours public et la société. À travers des audits expérimentaux et des simulations sociales, cette thèse vise à déchiffrer le fonctionnement de ces systèmes qui servent des milliards d'utilisateurs. La thèse aborde trois objectifs principaux : mener des audits des systèmes algorithmiques des plateformes en ligne, étudier les mesures adoptées par les plateformes pour atténuer les effects néfastes de leurs opérations sur la société, et améliorer les simulations sociales avec des données de terrain massives. Les contributions notables de cette thèse comprennent une étude approfondie de la bibliothèque publicitaire de Meta, une analyse des systèmes de recommandation d'Amazon et de Twitter, et la création d'une initiative de don de données pour recueillir des informations sur les expériences réelles des utilisateurs sur des plateformes comme Facebook, Google Search, YouTube et Twitter. La thèse examine également les méthodologies utilisées dans l'audit algorithmique, soulignant la nécessité de prendre en compte la personnalisation et les caractéristiques individuelles des utilisateurs lors de l'évaluation de ces systèmes. Une simulation d'une plateforme similaire à Twitter a été développée, combinant des modèles prédictifs d'engagement des utilisateurs avec une collecte de données à grande échelle. Cette approche a été utilisée pour évaluer comment les stratégies de classement de contenu axées sur la maximisation de l'engagement affectent les informations que les utilisateurs voient, montrant une réduction de la variété du contenu et une représentation politique altérée. Cette thèse conclut en examinant des approches alternatives de curation de contenu au-delà de l'engagement immédiat des utilisateurs, par example via un système de classement basé sur l'approbation diverse des utilisateurs, tout en reconnaissant les difficultés d'évaluer la "valeur démocratique" du contenu civique pour créer des alternatives viables aux systèmes actuels basés sur l'engagementThis thesis examines the effects of algorithmic systems used by major online platforms on public discourse and society. Through experimental audits and social simulations, the research aims to decipher how these systems, which serve billions of users, operate. The thesis addresses three main objectives: conducting audits of online platform algorithmic systems, investigating mitigation measures for misalignments between platform operations and public good, and enhancing social media simulations with massive field data. Notable contributions include a comprehensive study of Meta's Ad Library, an analysis of Amazon's and Twitter's recommendation systems, and the creation of a data donation tool to gather information on actual user experiences across platforms like Facebook, Google Search, YouTube, and Twitter.The thesis also considers the methods used in algorithmic auditing, emphasizing the need to account for personalization and individual user traits when evaluating these systems. A simulation of a Twitter-like platform was developed, combining predictive models of user engagement with large-scale data collection. This approach was used to assess how content ranking strategies focused on maximizing engagement affect the information users see, showing reduced content variety and altered political representation. The research concludes by investigating alternative content curation approaches beyond immediate user engagement, including a ranking system based on diverse user approval, while recognizing the difficulties in assessing the "democratic value" of civic content to create viable alternatives to current engagement-based systems

Various forms of academic co-operation criss-cross the modern university system in a bewildering number of ways, from the open exchange of ideas and knowledge, to the sharing of research results, and frank discussions about research challenges. Embedded in these scholarly networks is the question of whether a global template for the management of both higher education and national research organisations is necessary, and if so, must institutions slavishly follow the high-flown language of the global knowledge society or risk falling behind in the ubiquitous university ranking system? Or are there alternatives that can achieve a better, more ethically inclined, world? Basing their observations on their own experiences, an interesting mix of seasoned scholars and new voices from southern Africa and the Nordic region offer critical perspectives on issues of inter- and cross-regional academic co-operation. Several of the chapters also touch on the evolution of the higher education sector in the two regions. An absorbing and intelligent study, this book will be invaluable for anyone interested in the strategies scholars are using to adapt to the interconnectedness of the modern world. It offers fresh insights into how academics are attempting to protect the spaces in which they can freely and openly debate the challenges they face, while aiming to transform higher education, and foster scholarly collaboration. The Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD) is a partnership of higher education institutions from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. SANORDs primary aim is to promote multilateral research co-operation on matters of importance to the development of both regions. Our activities are based on the values of democracy, equity, and mutually beneficial academic engagement.

The relationship between phonological theory and World Englishes is generally characterized by a mutual lack of interest. This chapter argues for a greater engagement of both fields with each other, looking at constraint-based theories of phonology, especially Optimality Theory (OT), as a case in point. Contact varieties of English provide strong evidence for synchronically active constraints, as it is substrate or L1 constraints that are regularly transferred to the contact variety, not rules. Additionally, contact varieties that have properties that are in some way ‘in between’ the substrate and superstrate systems provide evidence for constraint hierarchies or implicational relationships between constraints, illustrated here primarily with examples from syllable structure. Conversely, for a scholar working on the description of World Englishes, OT can offer an explanation of where the patterns found in a contact variety come from, namely from the transfer of substrate constraint rankings (and subsequent gradual constraint demotion).

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, and it represents a set of criteria used by investors to evaluate the sustainability and societal impact of companies in which they invest. ESG rankings or ratings are assessments that evaluate companies; based on their activities related to ESG performance. Of these three, activities related to social performance include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a valuable tool for ESG ranking by demonstrating a company's commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices, fostering stakeholder engagement and trust, enhancing transparency and accountability, and creating long-term value for shareholders and society. Integrating CSR considerations into ESG evaluation provides a comprehensive assessment of a company's performance. According to the ESG ranking by CRISIL in the year 2022, HDFC bank is having a position of leader in the banking industry. This paper takes a closer look at how HDFC Bank's investments in CSR activities impact its share price, examining both the short-term reactions and long-term trends.

In the sports industry, artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool for sports managers interested in getting private sponsorships and for DMOs interested in branding a place. In this scenario, two main objectives guide this chapter (1) to generate a ranking of the leading Spanish marathons based on their presence on the four most important social networks in Spain (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube) and (2) to measure the engagement on social networks generated by the first of the marathons identified in the ranking. The official profiles of the accounts of the 10 marathons with the highest number of finishers in 2022 in Spain have been monitored on the social networks listed (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube). As the results show, a marathon can generate high network engagements. The destination's image can be highly favoured thanks to small local events (such as marathons) capable of generating a lot of movement on social networks. However, not all social networks work equally well in promoting sporting events capable of generating engagement.

Customer segmentation is a process of dividing customers into groups based on particular criteria, often common characteristics, in order to efficiently develop and manage marketing activities. The availability of data in different types and structures generated in digital environments leads to the handling of this process within the scope of data mining. In addition, observing many different dimensions and qualifications in the segmentation process provides the possibility of sorting among the customer groups, and thus, this process leads to both clustering and multi-criteria decision-making problems. Recent applications in this context analyze customers' profiles and buying behaviors to obtain customer groups and develop scorecards for further use. However, there exist additional data sources reflecting customer experiences about services or products. In this context, this study presents a stepwise and holistic decision framework that includes customer segmentation and ranking of these segments through different dimensions that reflect customer experiences.

The Andean Community of Nations (CAN) and others countries in Latin America (LA), as any less developed countries (LDCs), are located by inception on the wrong side of the “digital gap”. Therefore, these countries confront an enormous challenge from the network revolution that is unfolding. Globalization represents a new paradigm composed of integrated and interdependent economies. The Globalization Index (GI) determines the rank of the countries within the model. This index is composed of several variables in which economic integration and technology, among others, play a very important role in country classifications. Currently, a diminishing trend of FDIs is preponderant in the region, and this affects the knowledge-based society and also the efforts to make these countries members of the new globalization paradigm. Dessler (2004) stated that globalization is the tendency of firms to augment their sales, ownership, and manufacturing facilities to new markets located abroad. The research literature is consistent with the definition of globalization. Hill (2003), among others, agreed that the term globalization refers to a new paradigm in which the world economy is more integrated and interdependent. Therefore, this integration demands new methodologies and mechanisms to allow countries to perform their new roles within this emerging framework. A preponderant element in this new array is the convergence of computer-based power and telecommunications. These parameters are interrelated to computing infrastructure, new communication technology, and governmental policies that will make the old telecommunication model, a monopoly, obsolete; therefore, a new paradigm will evolve that makes this technology accessible to everyone through a new system that promotes and encourages competition within the private sector (Ochoa-Morales, 2003c). Also, convergence that is taking place with computing and telecommunication demonstrates the importance of the development of this sector and the socioeconomic impact on the economic perspective and to the stimulus of economic growth (Ochoa-Morales, 2003a). Kearney (2003) classified countries using a Globalization Index (GI), which determines the rank of the country as a more global country. Sixty-two countries that represent 85% of the world’s population compose the sample used. The index is epitomized by 13 variables grouped in four baskets: (1) economic integration, (2) personal contact, (3) technology, and (4) political engagement. Economic integration is represented by trade, foreign direct investments (FDIs) and portfolio capital flows, and income payments and receipts. Personal contact consists of international travel and tourism, international telephone traffic, and cross-border transfers. Technology is characterized by number of Internet users, Internet hosts, and secure servers; and political engagement is characterized by number of memberships in international organizations, UN Security Council missions in which each country participates, and the quantity of foreign embassies hosted by the countries. The ranking for the year 2003 shows Ireland as number one, Switzerland number two, and the United States as eleventh. Ireland has large investments in high-tech and information technology. Its Internet infrastructure is still growing, and the number of secure servers has increased 32.6% from 337 to 500 in 2002. Also, it has been the most talkative country in the world, included heavy domestic and international traffic. The above is unequivocal proof of the high correlation that exists between technology, a parameter of the new paradigm, and access to new markets that will be the cornerstone of globalization. According to Kearney (2003), one variable is economic integration in Latin America (LA), and the Caribbean economic integration is extant. Numerous regional and multilateral agreements are present such as the Andean Community of Nations (CAN), composed of Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela; MERCOSUR, composed of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina; The Group of Three (3), composed of Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela; and the CARICOM, composed of English speaking countries (Islands) within the Caribbean Basin (Secretaria, 1998). Ochoa-Morales (2001) stated that, from an economic perspective, the outcome is trade and therefore stimulus to economic growth. Foreign direct investments (FDIs) can greatly contribute to a host country’s economy providing the required factors of production are present, making the countries more competitive within the globalization framework. Schuler and Brown (1999) emphasized that the most important occurrence in the location of the FDIs is the support or impediment exercised by the institutions in the host country. Another important factor within the GI is technology characterized among other parameters by Internet users and Internet hosts. In LA, the growth rate of the Internet has been the highest in the world, and the number of users has increased 14-fold within the 1995 to 1999 period (UIT, 2000). The literature defines teledensity as the number of main telephone lines for every 100 inhabitants, excluding wireless access. This term is also used as a parameter to measure the level of telecommunication infrastructure of any country. A review of the literature also shows the existence of a high correlation between teledensity and economic development, and a negative one between teledensity and population size has been found (Mbarika, Byrd & Raymond, 2002).

Abstract Measuring HSE performance is vital when dealing with the implementation and execution of multiple Drilling Contractor HSE programs to ensure expectations are achieved throughout each rig contract life cycle. The HSE rig ranking program works as an HSE measuring tool by effectively consolidating eleven (11) leading and lagging key performance indicators (KPIs). KPI's such as total recordable incident injury rate (TRI-IR) and the Lost time Incident Injury rate (LTI-IR) as well as incident potential and inspection performance and compliance are all amalgamated into an all-inclusive scoring system with unprecedented results. Measuring, monitoring and benchmarking the health, safety and environmental performance of drilling contractors and their contracted rig fleet through this structured and comprehensive rig ranking program has organically spawned not only growth in behavioral based safety but also promoted a more robust HSE culture. The rig ranking methodology applied has facilitated greater contractor HSE oversight, resulting in not only healthy contractor competition but also substantial HSE performance improvements among the various drilling contractors and their respective rig fleets due to reductions in injuries, near misses as well as the severity of incident occurrences and improved adherence to established HSE requirements. Combining both lagging and leading indicators into a single Rig HSE performance score requires the efficient exploitation of both current and historical data and the HSE trends of each individual contracted rig and accurately weighting the impact of each of the 11 leading and lagging KPIs to arrive at a single representative score for each rig on contract. Each drilling contractors’ fleet of rigs is scored and benchmarked monthly and shared discreetly to contractor management team in an effort to provide a better understanding of their fleets HSE performance among their competitors and within their organizations. This rig ranking methodology identifies both high and low performance rigs, resulting in targeted intervention of low performance rigs and allowing for best practices of high-performance rigs to be cascaded downward to the lower echelons of the rig ranking scale. HSE practitioners engaged in site visits are equipped with a greater understanding of a rigs specific HSE improvement needs. As a result, the HSE rig ranking system facilitates a tailored site specific HSE message as opposed to broad, general safety improvement engagement. Since the inception and deployment of the HSE rig ranking program in 2018 a 240% increase in rigs performing in the Excellent range was achieved by October 2021 and behavioral based safety reporting increased over 255%. Recognition is also a key component of the rig ranking process and is incorporated communicate the achievements demonstrated and improvements made as well as sustained performance. The HSE Rig Ranking Program has contributed to fewer incidents, safer operations and is a recommended method of monitoring contractor drilling HSE performance.

The success of many healthcare programs depends on participants' adherence. We consider the problem of scheduling interventions in low resource settings (e.g., placing timely support calls from health workers) to increase adherence and/or engagement. Past works have successfully developed several classes of Restless Multi-armed Bandit (RMAB) based solutions for this problem. Nevertheless, all past RMAB approaches assume that the participants' behaviour follows the Markov property. We demonstrate significant deviations from the Markov assumption on real-world data on a maternal health awareness program from our partner NGO, ARMMAN. Moreover, we extend RMABs to continuous state spaces, a previously understudied area. To tackle the generalised non-Markovian RMAB setting we (i) model each participant's trajectory as a time-series, (ii) leverage the power of time-series forecasting models to learn complex patterns and dynamics to predict future states, and (iii) propose the Time-series Arm Ranking Index (TARI) policy, a novel algorithm that selects the RMAB arms that will benefit the most from an intervention, given our future state predictions. We evaluate our approach on both synthetic data, and a secondary analysis on real data from ARMMAN, and demonstrate significant increase in engagement compared to the SOTA, deployed Whittle index solution. This translates to 16.3 hours of additional content listened, 90.8% more engagement drops prevented, and reaching more than twice as many high dropout-risk beneficiaries.

Executive Summary This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate emissions reduction opportunities through ranking and prioritization based on economic evaluation. It discusses the benefits of using customized digital interfaces to perform emissions and economic calculations accurately and systematically. The integration of this methodology into an owner/operator workflow is explored to maximize economic benefits. Real-world examples are provided by the authors, with a focus on upstream oil and gas facilities, although the general approach can be applied to other process industries. The report details a solution for streamlined emissions reduction that dovetails with the energy assessment methodology, standardizes the identification of emissions reduction actions, ranks and prioritizes opportunities on a time-weighted basis, provides projections of emission reduction over the life of the field, accurately reflects interactions and conflicts, and allows for visualization and tracking of emissions reduction progress year on year. The approach involves intelligently automating the calculation and comparison of emissions reduction opportunities, enabling ranking, comparison, flexible metrics, interrogation, scenario planning, and visualizations to inform decision making. It highlights the importance of engaging external resources for expert evaluation of processes and capturing site-specific opportunities to accurately evaluate the emission reduction potential. Standardization is critical to address the challenges of evaluating diverse opportunities from different sources and disciplines. A central digital system, such as a web-based application, is recommended for its benefits of reducing errors, providing source-specific emissions factors, enhancing accessibility and auditability, and enabling faster calculations of life-of-field emissions values and economics. Ranking and prioritization of opportunities based on emissions reduction, capex, lead time, and feasibility within the system are discussed. The power of defining and managing interactions between opportunities, enabling rapid optimization and evaluation of different scenarios is highlighted. The visualization capabilities of the system, including emissions profiles, carbon intensity, and marginal abatement value curves, provide valuable insights and aid decision making. Benefits and observations include increased engagement and ownership throughout the organization, improved ease of workshops and assessments, streamlined analysis of opportunities, consolidation of multiple spreadsheets into a single source of truth, and enhanced tracking and monitoring of emissions reduction progress. However, the setup of such a system requires process engineering and digital coding skills. In conclusion, the use of a web-based digital application for streamlined analysis, planning, and presentation of emissions reduction opportunities is highly effective. It saves time, improves data accessibility and consistency, enhances engagement and traction, and supports the industry's transition to low-carbon production.

This paper attempts to understand how National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited schools of architecture and their faculties have referenced climate change action in required published statements, including school mission statements and faculty biographies. This paper will limit its scope to the first phase of the study, focused on schools in NAAB Region 4, the East Central Region. The paper will present figures and statistics noting the frequency of key terms, while ranking the term value based on internationally recognized documents on climate change action. These findings serve as an initial indication of the level of engagement of architectural educators with climate change action in architectural curricula. The information collected by this study is intended allow the community of architectural educators to better understand the current state of architectural education with respect to this matter, to prompt departmental conversations and commitments, and to ultimately better prepare future architects to address the role of the built environment in the global climate crisis in this time of urgent need.

Abstract In most engineering curricula, students are often not given opportunities to solve design problems outside their introductory engineering courses and capstone design. This inhibits them from exercising their ability to navigate ill-structured and complex problem elements inherent to design problems. Problem-based learning (PBL) can help provide opportunities to exercise these abilities by allowing students to gain experience in problem framing and decision-making. However, implementing PBL is often challenging because faculty must navigate problem design, facilitation, and assessment. In this study, we investigate the impact of using an explicit problem typology framework in facilitating student progression in a PBL environment where they engage with a selection problem, a common subproblem in design. One student section was exposed to this problem typology framework (intervention group), while another section was not (control). Using retrospective interview data from students, we analyzed how students talked about their engagement with the selection problem. Results of interview analysis were supplemented by analysis of student assignment submissions. We find that students introduced to the problem typology framework focused less on the reporting of equations and calculations, were more articulate in developing and describing the use of a ranking system in support of selection, and focused on aspects of mathematical and procedural reasoning contributing to the confidence in their final solution. Our interpretation of these findings is that students who used the framework began to view design as sociotechnical, not technorational, in nature. These facets may be missed, even in more open pedagogies like PBL, if facilitation strategies are not carefully considered. We believe these findings lend support for continuing efforts to operationalize Jonassen’s design theory of problem solving to develop PBL environments.

The widespread adoption of online media allows sports events worldwide to engage audiences collectively; football is no exception. It plays a significant role in providing entertainment and promoting social interaction. Due to varying levels of audience engagement, it is challenging to collectively enjoy the pleasure of watching the game. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how data visualization can enhance the experience of audiences with different experiences.The study focuses on the penalty shootout interface in football broadcasts, aiming to assess whether the level of sports engagement among viewers influences the perception, satisfaction, and intent to rewatch through visualizations in the interface. Through a survey of participants' football viewing experiences, 36 participants were invited to participate in physical experiments, comprising 18 high-experience and 18 low-experience participants. The control group had no visualization information added, and the experimental group had five different visualizations: penalty shootout data for both sides, tactical board, shot ball speed, player information, and score - added to the contextual simulation videos. Evaluation methods included: (1)Participants were requested to watch scenario simulation videos and record their behavior and verbal expressions. (2) Participants were required to complete three questionnaires - Perceived Quality, Satisfaction, and Re-viewing Intentions. (3) Task responses and semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand participants' perspectives on the visualization information. (4) A five-point Likert scale was used to evaluate the participants' comprehension and preference for the visualization elements. Results indicated that 97% of participants preferred interfaces with data visualization, believing that adding visualization information contributes to understanding the match situation and enhances the enjoyment and immersion during viewing. We found (1) significant differences in perception between high and low-experience viewers, with higher-experience participants having a greater perception of visualization information, (2) Although the level of understanding of visualization varied between the high and low-experienced respondents, the highest level of understanding of score visualization was found in all of them, (3) From the investigation of five visualizations, it was found that both high and low-experienced participants exhibited similar preferences for visualizations. In descending order, the preference ranking includes player information, penalty shootout data for both sides, shot ball speed, tactical board, and score visualization. (4) There was a significant difference in the level of comprehension and preference among the five types of visualized information. This research suggests that when optimizing interfaces in the future, designers should prioritize design improvements based on preference levels and use evaluations as a reference for subsequent enhancements.

This study aims to elucidate the processes inherent in entrepreneurial activities by exploring how small- to medium-sized mature companies strive to reorganize as they respond to various crises. Specifically, we examine business reorganization processes through a case study of a well-established company in Japan, re-conceptualizing entrepreneurship — commonly considered a static and ambiguous notion — as a dynamic process of “entrepreneuring”. Recently in Japan, anticipation for the “emergence of transcendent individuals“ who generate innovations has been growing. However, there is a paucity of interests in analyses centered on small- and medium-sized mature companies which often grapple with constraints and limitations unique to themselves. In recent years, scholarly discourse have expanded beyond associating entrepreneurship solely with new business ventures, and the significance of dynamically analyzing entrepreneuring as a process in a world where practices and mindsets are already organized (Steyaert 2007: 462) is pointed out in international journals. Additionally, inquiries into how newly organized cultures emerge in the process of organizational and institutional changes (Hjorth & Reay 2022: 159) have gained traction. The conceptual viewpoint of entrepreneuring is shifting from methodological individualism towards practicalism and relationism. Building on these premises, this paper presents a hypothesis about the nature of entrepreneuring by delineating a case of organizational restructuring in a company, viewed through the lens of long-term process changes. The subject of this study is a legacy bakery with which a private equity (corporate restructuring) fund, managed by one of the authors (AY), has been engaged since 2019. Before the fund’s engagement, the bakery’s financial constraints led to severely limited investments in facilities and to a shortage of middle-ranking and younger staff. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian conflict significantly strained its operations. Under these circumstances, the bakery has been engaged in the process of entrepreneuring in order to diversify its customer base and revamp its business portfolio. We conducted a qualitative examination of the data, which included records from participant-observations spanning nearly five years, individual interviews with key stakeholders and reflection sheets gathered after workshops. Comparative analyses with other cases of corporate turnarounds orchestrated by the fund have also been undertaken. Initially, the company's failure to recognize the necessity for organizational change had impeded attempts at autonomous or internal reorganization. However, the “institutional changes” brought from outside, namely the change in shareholders and the onset of a financial deficit, catalyzed the generation of reorganization efforts. During the process, the “institutions”, or corporate cultures, based on the bakery's decades-old customs created barriers against change. Also, potential conflicts between multiple “institutional logics” historically embedded in the company emerged during the change process. Nevertheless, through ongoing efforts across the organization,the employees began to explore the common benefits that emerged from such conflicts. The results of this study illustrate the process of a gradual diversification of relationships among involved agents that catalyzed the reorganization process. Innovations within small- and medium-sized companies with limited managerial resources can be perceived as processes of reorganization sparked by intersection and amalgamation of various actors representing a constantly evolving performative action.

Throughout history, many people have supported the use of game and gaming-inspired design in order to improve the human life. In the middle of 2000s, the confluence of web technologies, digital business models and online games gave rise to the latest manifestation of this basic idea. Large organizations have begun to explore gaming as a way to motivate people and improve user experience. Gamification is applied from education and training to health, management, innovation, employee involvement, patrimony, crowdsourcing, civic engagement and marketing (Seaborn & Fels, 2015). Also, mobile applications and different sites have borrowed design elements (points, badges, or social networking game rankings and meta-game systems) to motivate users' activity. More and more curious or enthusiastic people from different fields of activity are moving towards this term. Game-based learning represents an education learning method through games. The present paper aims to highlight the importance of gamification and game-based learning used in education. It has been realized an experiment to students for seeing, if the game-based learning technique has any effect on them, becoming more motivated to learn or changing their attitude or behaviour. The experiment has been based on two groups of students; the first one, had received a test paper and the second one had to pass a quiz, built to the online platform, called kahoot.it, after they read a paper about marketing research subject. The results have been analysed by the help of SPSS 22.0 program, and the hypotheses were verified with independent t test. The experimental model used for research was post-test with control. This study contributes to the developing of education system using modern techniques, in order to improve the student knowledge.
