Network downtimes are typically addressed by deploying a temperature monitoring system (TMS) designed to detect variations in temperature and signal users of an impending increase of temperature. The development of a TMS has been found to essentially monitor temperature states across various case applications, but a concurrent analysis of such system was not carried out despite the need to recognize user satisfaction for improvement of future TMS information system components. Thus, this paper seeks to design, implement, and analyze a TMS under the a-priori information system (IS) impact model, which incorporates the constructs on individual impact, organizational impact, information quality, and system quality, in an academic institution as case environment. It is found that all four constructs have a positive influence on the proposed TMS IS impact except for organizational impact. Under such a case, decision-makers are prompted to develop a product that anchors primarily on individual impact, information quality, and system quality to attain desired system outputs.

Systems that support knowledge management systems (KMS) practices can add significant value. However, merely having a KMS may not necessarily guarantee success for KMS projects. Capturing valuable organizational knowledge in KMS remains an issue. Thus, new solutions that can increase meaningful use of KMS must be investigated. This study aims at examining the direct and indirect link between performance expectancy (PE), facilitating conditions (FC), and social influence (SI) and the use of KMS through behavioral intention (BI) in United Arab Emirates (UAE) companies. In addition, the study aims to investigate the moderated effect of gender on the indirect link between KMS and all the variables. Data of 162 was collected from individuals of different companies in UAE. The results suggest that FC and BI positively and significantly influence KMS. On the mediating effect, BI mediates the link between PE and FC. Lastly, females appear to score higher in PE and FC. The study provides evidence that FC and BI are relevant factors influencing KMS in enterprises in the UAE.

This study sought to understand the role of information technology (IT) in managing the conflicts of Filipinos in long-distance relationships (LDRs). Specifically, it aimed to know the conflicts Filipinos in LDRs usually experience, how these conflicts are managed with the help of IT, their conflict communication practices, and the values necessary for LDR maintenance. Ten Filipinos in LDRs were interviewed in depth. Results showed that the common conflicts identified by the study participants were on childrearing, failure to communicate on the appointed date and time, delayed and unsent text messages, the husband's drinking, and gossips related to the husband's alleged infidelity. IT was a big help in managing these conflicts because it allowed effective communication, with video telephony as the most preferred technology. According to the study participants, the personal characteristics that contribute to LDR maintenance are cool-headedness, self-control, patience, and humility.

This paper presents a parallel algorithm for gene regulatory network construction, hereby referred to as H2pcGRN. The construction of gene regulatory network is a vital methodology for investigating the genes interactions' topological order, annotating the genes functionality and demonstrating the regulatory process. One of the approaches for gene regulatory network construction techniques is based on the component analysis method. The main drawbacks of component analysis-based algorithms are its intensive computations that consume time. Despite these drawbacks, this approach is widely applied to infer the regulatory network. Therefore, introducing parallel techniques is indispensable for gene regulatory network inference algorithms. H2pcGRN is a hybrid high performance-computing algorithm for gene regulatory network inference. The proposed algorithm is based on both the hybrid parallelism architecture and the generalized cannon's algorithm. A variety of gene datasets is used for H2pcGRN assessment and evaluation. The experimental results indicated that H2pcGRN achieved super-linear speedup, where its computational speedup reached 570 on 256 processing nodes.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus that affects most of the people around the world in their respiratory system. The COVID-19 crisis has affected the married Indian women in a different way and overloads them in all aspects during the quarantine period. Across every domain, from health to the economy, safety to societal protection, education to occupation, this creates a greater impact irrespective of their professions. Psychological and economic impacts are felt especially by working women who are getting moderate and low income and close to the poverty line. Unpaid work has amplified at home, with children out of school, spouse work from home, intensified special care needs of elder persons, and other emotional uncertainties. To explore various impacts of lockdown due to COVID-19, this study analyzes the challenges and opportunities of a married woman with a special reference to TIER-II selected city in India.

Research productivity constitutes a key factor in maintaining the sustainability of higher education management. This study aims to identify the impact of knowledge sharing on research productivity in higher education. This research is a mixed-methods study with a sequential explanatory case study design. Quantitative analysis of questionnaires was initially performed by using linear regression. The participants included 35 lecturers working for a private university in Indonesia. The following stage involved further verifying the questionnaire results by means of quantitative analysis of interview data, documents, and focus group discussion (FGD). Results substantiated that knowledge sharing positively and significantly influenced the university's research productivity. In addition, it was revealed that existing expert groups, knowledge-sharing agenda, collaborative research, facility support, funds, partnership with external institutions and human resources development program contributed to the enhancement of lecturers' ability to generate ideas and engage in research endeavors.

This article presents and empirically examines a research model to investigate knowledge creation performance (KCP). The model postulates knowledge property (tacitness and complexity) and social capital (structural, relational, and cognitive capitals) as the main predictors of KCP. The moderation (interaction) effect of goal-predefined strategy (GPS) is also examined. Based on 209 valid samples collected from the manufacturing and service industries in Taiwan, the authors show that both knowledge property and social capital are significantly associated with KCP. GPS significantly enhances the effect of knowledge property on KCP and significantly weakens the effect of social capital on KCP. The effect of tacitness becomes insignificant when GPS is included, due to the limitations in thinking space that the strategy entails. Moreover, among social capitals, GPS maintains the effect of cognitive social capital on KCP but decreases the influence of both structural and relational social capital. Discussion and implications are also addressed.

Rooftop farming in urban places is gaining more popularity which increases the cultivation of organic vegetables on the rooftop of houses and buildings with the minimal utilization of water. But rooftop farming is more vulnerable to pest infestation which reduces the quality of plants. Urban residents are novices in farming, and they are unaware of the pest attacks. Various researchers have proposed pest identification systems using image processing techniques and machine learning algorithms specific to particular disease which shows less accuracy on generaliztion and not user-friendly. To provide user-friendly pest identification system, this paper proposes a mobile based pest identification system using the concept of pre-trained convolutional neural network model – AlexNet. Experimental results have been analyzed with various rooftop pests using different kernel sizes and layers of convolutional neural network. In addition, the best evaluated pre-trained model has been converted to a mobile application using REST API for the recommendation of pesticide to the novice user.

Globalisation increases the numbers of involved business partners and distances between origin and destination. It complicates and stretches supply chains. Consequently, supply chains are exposed to higher risks, especially in rural societies where there is limited access to technology and the society is isolated. The research literature of supply chain resilience identified factors contributing to risks, factors counterbalancing risks, and mechanisms to assess the resilience of supply chains. However, there remains a gap in the use of the existing risk and resilience factors to the specific context of the rural supply chain. This research contributes by providing a state-of-the-art review and identifies which factors should be used for the rural supply chains.
