ABSTRACT
Communication is considered to be one of the major challenges that affects the individuals' and organization's development. The challenge has amplified with the sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide and the stringent directions put in place. Ultimately, "Rise" initiative strategy was formed to focus on People improvement through establishing sub-teams that enhance employee satisfaction, instill knowledge sharing, promote people development, enhance current processes and advance our division to Excellence. "Rise" is based on 'Zero-cost ideas' budgeting method and tangible contribution to Core Pillars of our company (People, Profitability and Sustainability). It consists of five cross-departmental teams named: Connect, Career Development, Process Optimization, Communities and Excellence. Each team has clear roles and responsibilities which led by young and self-driven engineers. "Rise" teams generated more than 30 activities that support our company diversified Operation as well as its employees. Diversification in this context includes skills, experiences and techniques to perform tasks. All "Rise" activities have shaped the way we communicate and strengthen connection within division employees, company units, and other stakeholders. It enhanced the concept of collaborative work and knowledge sharing that led to people development in technical and non-technical aspects, boast confidence among themselves and with their peers and superiors. Also, it provided them with opportunities on both personal and professional profile persistently. It is clear by all the activities taking place as part of Rise that people are being treated as the first priority. By creating a respectful, inclusive and engaging work environment the employees will seek to enhance and perform effectively. Copyright © 2022, Society of Petroleum Engineers.
ABSTRACT
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the education sector to extensively use digital technologies in imparting education and in students' assessment. The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has been put to the test. With the use of ICT, flexible education is an upcoming option to assist uniform, accessible, and innovative educational systems. While learning in such a covid scenario technical constraints, use of appropriate devices, uninterrupted network and bandwidth have created challenges in student progression and the teaching-learning process. The goal of this research is to determine the impact of digital technology on student growth and to investigate the factors that influence it. The usage of digital technology in teaching/learning before and amidst the spread of pandemic have been compared to appropriately assess the implications of these unique educational circumstances in student progression. The study's goal is to determine how digital technology affects student performance. Secondary data was used in conjunction with survey methods. Researchers have also studied the various platforms used in imparting education as well as in assessment. A questionnaire with self-reporting instruments and a scale for describing student progress through continuous evaluation with ICT was used. Evidence from secondary data reveals that despite facing many challenges during covid, students have shown considerable improvements and progress. Though the exams used artificial intelligence-based algorithms for proctoring, there exist loopholes and huge dependency on tools required and bandwidth to support efficient assessment during the examination. The suggestions and recommendations are made to enhance current online teaching methods to reach a larger number of students and to enrich the teaching/learning experience to ensure better student progression.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital health system. Healthcare organizations want to give medical treatment to individuals who live a great distance away. As a result, they are emphasizing the creation of bespoke telemedicine apps. The number of individuals using telemedicine apps is increasing significantly. Increasing technology gives patients healthcare resources. This has been made feasible via a new telemedicine system and by developing a telemedicine app. Patients can use several technologies to communicate with healthcare professionals. For comfort and privacy, you can employ live visual media. The creation of telemedicine apps is the most attractive and practical investment. With the growing availability and usage of technology in PD, the focus of these technologies is gradually turning toward the disease's vast spectrum of Non-Motor Symptoms (NMS). The nature of NMS makes them difficult to objectively measure, further development and building on experience gained in other conditions may still result in NMS capture that is feasible. Although it is impossible to offer recommendations for the use of digital technology outcomes for NMS in clinical practise based on currently available data, evidence for these devices is evolving, and such guidance may become accessible in the not-too-distant future. To our knowledge, this is the first telemedicine method of its sort to address cognition as one of the NMS in Malay PD patients. The project will be done on two consecutive phases (1 year each);Phase1 aims to develop the Dementia Coach Mobile App, and Phase2 aims to validation of this app by using PD patients sample from SASMEC. Therefore, we hypothesize that developing a friendly mobile app to assess dementia for PD patients is highly beneficial and could be used for diagnosis of NMS in PD patients. © 2022 by Mohamed et al.
