The discourse on Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) centers on the initial stages of the EDI process: idea generation, evaluation and implementation However, a research gap exists concerning the internal structure of the EDI process - specifically, its phases and influencing factors. In this paper, the phenomenon of EDITRANSOR - transition of EDI into Organizational Routine (OR) is presented. Preliminary findings, drawn from two distinct cases, center on exploring the internal structure of EDITRANSOR and the factors that influence it. By employing a case study method, the research extends the understanding of the EDI process in three significant ways. Firstly, it highlights the EDITRANSOR phases, with the unexplored phase of EDI solidification into OR. Secondly, it demonstrates categories of factors enabling and impeding the process. Thirdly, it suggests that factors vary across EDITRANSOR phases. Research findings hold practical value, allowing organizations with ongoing or planned EDI programs to update their policies accordingly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the scholarly community has been eagerly exploring how AI‐produced content should be integrated into both academic writing and scholarly publishing. This paper investigates the prevailing responses to the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 and the interest that has been afforded it by both the academy and the publishing industry. A review of the published literature on aspects of ChatGPT authorship was carried out, finding that government and the publishing industry have unequivocally asserted that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT do not possess the traits of a person and are not able to author texts as a result. Other approaches, including practice, have been less vehement. To assess the integration of instructions on referencing ChatGPT using APA, top Google hits in the.edu domain were collected and analyzed over a 6‐week period from March 14 to April 18, 2023, a time during which official recommendations of the APA Style were finalized. Findings reveal that librarians were quick to provide guidance, but slow to update that guidance, contributing to the potential for misunderstanding the affordances of and best practices for work with LLMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 2021 particle physics community study, known as "Snowmass 2021", has brought together particle physicists around the world to create a unified vision for the field over the next decade. One of the areas of focus is the Underground Facilities (UF) frontier, which addresses underground infrastructure and the scientific programs and goals of underground-based experiments. To this effect, the UF Supporting Capabilities topical group created two surveys for the community to identify poten-tial gaps between the supporting capabilities of facilities and those needed by current and future experiments. Capabilities surveyed are discussed in this report and include underground cleanroom space size and specifications, radon-reduced space needs and avail-ability, the assay need and other underground space needs as well timeline for future experiments. Results indicate that future, larger experiments will increasingly require underground assembly in larger, cleaner cleanrooms, often with better radon-reduction systems and increased monitoring capability for ambient contaminants. Most assay needs may be met by existing worldwide ca-pabilities with organized cooperation between facilities and experiments. Improved assay sensitivity is needed for assays of bulk and surface radioactivity for some materials for some experiments, and would be highly beneficial for radon emanation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Character education is a key that needs to be instilled in the foundation of the nation and state in order to create unique characters in the quality of their human resources (HR). However, it needs to be realized at this time; many students have lost their virtuous character by religious and state norms so that these actions become deviant. This setback occurs because of the failure of education in forming good character in students. Transforming local cultural values is a key to building and repairing the potential loss of student character. They return to the norms and characters that apply in their environment by integrating them into thematic learning in elementary schools. This research was conducted in the city of Sragen by involving the character values of the local wisdom of the Sragen community. This study aims to analyze and integrate the values of local wisdom into thematic learning in elementary schools. This research uses a case study qualitative research type. This study uses the participation of the Sragen community, observations, informants, and document archives to obtain data and their relevance. The study results show that the values of local wisdom can improve students' character and their relevance to thematic learning, especially in class IV related to several subjects, namely, Indonesian, IPS, and IPA. This research implies that educators or all stakeholders must be aware of the importance of local wisdom to correct potential deficiencies and encourage the use of local wisdom as a model to improve students' character in each region.

This paper addresses the innovation strategy formulation in public sector organizations. Specifically, it focuses on the innovation strategy formulation process, document output and the support ISO56000 innovation management standards provide for such a formulation process. Therefore, this paper presents a case study in a Swedish municipality formulating an innovation strategy. As a result, the paper describes the two main innovation strategy formulation phases: the experimental pre-phase and the emergent strategy phase with its sub-phases and the contributing actor-stakeholders. Furthermore, it reveals the areas where the innovation management standards supported the innovation strategy formulation process and its output. Moreover, the paper illustrates the challenges the political-administrative nature of organizing in the public sector causes for innovation work. The paper contributes to the literature on strategic management, especially public sector innovation management literature regarding innovation strategy planning and innovation management standard use in a municipal context.

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are responsible for the production of the main component of the solar s-process distribution. Despite enormous progress in the theoretical modeling of these objects over the last few decades, many uncertainties remain. The still-unknown mechanism leading to the production of 13C neutron source is one example. The nucleosynthetic signature of AGB stars can be examined in a number of stellar sources, from spectroscopic observations of intrinsic and extrinsic stars to the heavy-element isotopic composition of presolar grains found in meteorites. The wealth of available observational data allows for constraining the processes occurring in AGB interiors. In this view, we discuss recent results from new AGB models including the effects of mixing triggered by magnetic fields, and show comparisons of the related s-process nucleosynthesis with available observations.

We present an approach to document research data in a human and machine readable way by creating JSON-LD metadata files based on the m4i ontology. m4i is based on top level ontologies and reuses concepts of widely accepted ontologies to embed information modelled in m4i in larger contexts like a knowledge graph connecting research data with projects, actors, methods, tools and publications. We use a real-life research example from the engineering domain to show how to describe a research process with its object of research, the different steps with input and output data, the actors, and the used methods and tools. The resulting metadata files can serve as low-threshold documentation in a file system, as an exchange format between tools, as an input for data repositories and as a source of information to be used by scripts and tools.

Organic semiconducting materials provide only narrow absorption bands, in contrast to classical, inorganic semiconductors. Concerning photovoltaic applications this is considered as a drawback; however, in combination with plant cultivation the narrow-band absorption provides a unique advantage: Organic solar cell devices with high transparency between 1.75 and 3.5 eV can be designed, being translucent exactly in the spectral range where chlorophyll is predominantly active in natural photosynthesis. These organic photovoltaic-based agrivoltaics are called "AgrOPV". Common active layer materials already fulfill the requirements for AgrOPV application; the suitability of the other materials used in the photovoltaic layer stack, instead, is hardly investigated and widely uncertain. In order to provide guidance for future developments, we will discuss the suitability of charge transport and electrode materials for AgrOPV applications, mainly on the basis of their absorptance.

Agriculture plays a critical role in the economy of many countries. Pesticide and herbicide solutions make the farm field disinfect the pest, rats, and other living organisms that destroy the goods. Doing all these processes manually takes lots of time and requires several workers to work in the fields. Moreover, close contact with pesticide and herbicide solutions can disturb many organs' functionality in the human body and cause nerve damage and chronic diseases for farmers. This paper proposes an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with an adjustable angle of the sprayer to lift the heavy load (up to five kilograms) for pesticides/herbicides. The UAV decreases the farmers' contact with toxic substances and increases the farms' productivity. It also has a built-in GPS and Surveillance camera for the farmers to monitor the farm precisely. With a unique foldable design, farmers can carry it around easily. A UAV with four propellers (Quadcopter) has been designed and successfully tested during this project. Based on the testing results, the spraying time with the UAV has improved by about 83.4% compared with the manual process. The farmers can safely and quickly use the UAV to disinfect the farm field with the proposed solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
