Teleworking and the Importance of Information Systems in a Pandemic Context: A Study Applied to the Health Sector

The pandemic crisis compelled organizations to adopt telework to continue their activity. This study seeks to determine the perception of individuals regarding teleworking, and also the role of Information Systems in the paradigm shift along the pandemic period, in the Portuguese health sector. An online questionnaire was applied to health professionals working in Portugal, obtaining a sample of 264 professionals. The perceptions identified in relation to telework can be especially useful when considering the progressive incorporation of non-face-to-face activities in the health sector. Participants identify advantages in teleworking, namely in reducing travel costs, but also identify work overload as a disadvantage. Despite the difficulties, Information Systems are identified as facilitators in this process of change. Most participants express availability to work in a mixed regime, in the post-pandemic period. © 2022 Associacao Portuguesa de Sistemas de Informacao. All rights reserved.

Analysing Shifts in Perceptions of Indians during COVID-19 Pandemic by Mining Tweets

Current pandemic situation has a significant impact affecting human life not only socially and economically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. This impact can be easily observed on social media platforms. Along with the knowledge exchange related to Covid-19 pandemic on social media, there is an emotional trauma wave that can be felt by carefully analyzing the activities of this social media. Keeping this view in thought, we analyze around 12000 tweets of Indian people to find out whether there is a trend shift of thinking pattern and mindset of Indian people as the pandemic progresses. The study is bifurcated into stages to clearly see the paradigm shift. We use tweets since twitter is a rich medium that can be leveraged to its optimum to have a good amount of understanding of the sentiments of the people. Analyzing the twitter dataset, we derive results and find out whether the amount of negative tweets v/s positive (or motivational) tweets have increased or not as the pandemic progresses. The study is supported by graphical visualizations of the polarity of the tweets month wise. Further, Wordmap approach is used to perform qualitative mining analysis in addition to the sentiment score based calculation. This work helps us to understand how the public opinions are changing with the changes in the spread dynamics of the virus. This kind of mood mining helps in identifying the Covid-19 situation from the psychological perspective that whether there is a sense of fear among people or they are quite optimistic of the situation. It can help in a great extend to the strategic and decision making bodies to plan out for future decisions. Further, such kind of studies can be used as reference to provide insights about mental health of people for any future incident or event of such nature. © 2023 IEEE.

Blended Learning Approach: Students' versus Lecturers' Views from a South African Rural University

There is a current paradigm shift within institutions of higher learning in terms of how teaching and learning take place. This radical transition has been forced globally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw the higher education sector implementing drastic changes in terms of remote learning. It seems there is a misunderstanding of the term blended learning based on the students' and lecturers' views from a selected South African university. A mixed method approach was used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. An online questionnaire was distributed to learners to get quantitative data. On the other hand, lecturers were engaged through interviews within a workshop. An experimental approach using the university's learning management system known as WiseUp was used. Both traditional and online modes of deliverables are common within a case. Findings show different understanding of the term blended learning and the differences in preferred activities within the blended mode. The paper provides some examples of good applications of blended learning. As higher education institutions try to embrace blended learning techniques, there is a need to engage and improve awareness of the meaning of this approach. © 2022 IEEE.

Cybersecurity Concerns Under COVID-19: Representations on Increasing Digital Literacy in Higher Education

The COVID-19 brought several new challenges for the students and lecturers, particularly in higher education. The conventional physical classroom was almost instantly pushed into a new environment: a remote session class. And this lecturing paradigm shift occurred, necessarily, in a short period of time. The lecturing players suffered the pressure of using different learning tools and methodologies while exposing themselves to, in most part of cases, unexpected cybersecurity threats. The purpose of this article is to clarify all the new menaces that arose during this period. Also, to understand the level of exposure and impacts on the lecturer and student to this quick but necessary paradigm shift. Methodologically: two focus groups were undertook to capture representations of students about uses of computer technology;differences in exposure to threats before and during the pandemic and impacts on society;student's needs regarding the topic and suggestions about strategies for increasing overall knowledge about it. Answers were treated recurring to software webQDA®—Qualitative Data Analysis Software for analysis of qualitative data. Results depict the exposure to cybersecurity issues and some level of knowledge about them, inducing preventive practices when using informatics technology. Sense of increasing insecurity in society is associated with the statement of increasing activity regarding cybercrime, giving way to the assumption of the need of awareness and knowledge of general public regarding this issues, and rise suggestions on teaching approaches directed to the subject. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Clubhouse—A UX/UI Case Study on the Audio Social App

For the past few years, the world has seen a paradigm shift in the way of life. Daily activities of working, learning, etc. were shifted to an online mode so that the spread of the covid virus can be contained. During this time, usage of social media apps was at an all-time high since it was the only way people could socialize. The clubhouse was one such social media app that gained popularity during the lockdown and showed exponential growth in terms of user engagement. But, it was observed that from the survey conducted among 33 users, almost 82% of users showed reluctance in using Clubhouse over time. 84.8% of users welcomed the need for a better User Experience for the platform. An average of 64.2% of users reported different User Experience (UX) related issues in the app. In this paper, the UX side of the app is studied and discussed. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

COVID-19 and Shifting Paradigm in Asian Education System

COVID-19 has forced the paradigm shift in the education system.This study thoroughly examined the adopted virtual learning practices to understand the changing paradigm positively contributes or has adverse impacts on the education system.The study has found that technologies, devices, and internet access have become essential requirements for students to continue their education during this transition period.The study has also discussed how families' financial status influences the degree of learning attitude and the effectiveness of virtual learning of students.The literature reviewed for this study showed that students from higher-income countries have greater access to and command of technologies, while students from lower-income countries continue to struggle to meet the basic requirements for virtual learning.The study argues that virtual education cannot deliver comprehensive requirements of education as it lacks studenthood, classroom bonding between students and teachers, and a peer learning approach, which is significant in the holistic growth of individuals. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

COVID-19 Triggers a Paradigm Shift in Technology for Insurance Industry

As the global economy grapples with the advent of novel coronavirus and its variants, the aftermath has left all industries with ongoing uncertainties and incalculable loss of life and livelihood in most countries worldwide. In such unpredictable situations, the insurance industry and governments worldwide have become the prominent source of optimism to sail through the situation. This applies to the insurance industry globally, which is currently in the grip of fear due to the COVID-19 outbreak and anticipating significant economic slowdown and hardship because insurance rides on the back of other Industries. Therefore, to overcome a few of the tenacious roadblocks due to the COVID outbreak, Insurers will be forced to reassess all aspects of their business life cycle and take necessary steps to continue operations with minimum disruption. Precisely, the impact of COVID on General Insurers and Life and Health Insurers varied depending on the lines of business, product lines, and a bouquet of benefits offered by the insurers. The pandemic has taken a hit on new gross written premiums on specific lines of business, such as medical, travel, commercial, and business insurance. Few lines of business such as motor and home have remained muted during the COVID timeframe. However, the claims volumes for personal insurance (e.g., motor) have significantly decreased due to the lockdown and travel restriction;the industry has witnessed the highest claims volumes in life and health compared to the past several decades. They say, "As every dark cloud has a silver lining,” it has given an opportunity to many insurers to develop new products (e.g., Pay Mile Auto insurance) and push toward greater productivity, i.e., digital capability across product range which will result in an elevated position to understand and address to the customer and intermediary self-service (such as Portals) and implicit and explicit needs. Notably, the Insurance industry is likely to lean toward offering personalized yet custom-made products and services, which are sharply focused on preventative care and embracing digitalization across the value chain. Besides enabling scalability and connectivity, insurers are strategically focused on digitizing the core of the business and cloud implementation;automation across the insurance value chain is necessary to compete successfully with new innovative product development or inclusive business models. Around the globe, the insurance industry is continuously putting a deep focus on revitalizing the technology paradigm to grow and strive to achieve cost-effectiveness amid emerging markets, rapidly changing economic conditions and stiff competition from Insurtech. According to industry experts across geographies, growth may be a balanced blend of preventative and protective approaches, with a gamut of new and improved services and products, and insurers are deeply fostering redefining service-oriented strategies and innovative products. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Engineering in a pandemic: the impact of remote working and learning on quality of work produced

CONTEXT COVID-19 has shocked the globe since December 2019, with unprecedented international and domestic travel restrictions and self-isolation policies enacted by governments around the world. With lockdown policies in place in hopes of preventing further spread of this disease, there has been a widespread transition into learning and working from home - causing a paradigm shift in traditional working and learning cultures. PURPOSE OR GOAL This study aims to investigate the effects of transitioning into remote learning and working on the quality of work produced, specifically by electrical and electronic engineers in Australia. The objective is to identify factors relating to an individual's ability to produce self-defined quality work and identify any emerging themes due to the change in learning and working environments. APPROACH OR METHODOLOGY/METHODS A total of six participants, consisting of five students and one senior engineer, was recruited and interviewed. Each brought their own unique perspective on the matter via semi-structured interviews where they were asked questions regarding their learning/working experience before and during remote learning/working. Defining quality working through the epistemology of practice, cooperative work and self-efficacy, and connectivity, the researchers investigated how the ability to produce quality work has been affected due to the change in learning/working environment. OUTCOMES The representative data indicated that feedback, open collaboration, and team rapport were the three key contributing factors to quality work during this transition to learning/working remotely. Feedback and collaboration contributed positively to quality work and a strong team rapport further augmented the individual's ability to produce quality work. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS/SUMMARY This study provides an initial impression on the topic and invites further study to establish a deeper understanding behind the contributing factors towards quality work. Further studies into different engineering disciplines or a larger sample size to establish a larger data set is recommended to extract richer conclusions.

The World's First Successful Digital Intelligent Artificial Lift (DIAL) for Dual String Application - A Paradigm Shift for Gas Lift System in Offshore Malaysia

PETRONAS completed Well H16 in BS field, East Malaysia with a Digital Intelligent Artificial Lift (DIAL) - an improvement to the current applied gas lift system in the field for production optimization system. This DIAL installation represents the first ever successful installation of the technology in an Offshore oil well for Dual String production. This paper provides the details of the installation planning, designing stages, operational process, well unloading and production undertaken to achieve this milestone. DIAL is a unique technology that enhances the efficiency of gas lift production. Downhole monitoring of production parameters informs remote surface-controlled adjustment of gas lift valves. This enables automation of production optimization removing the need for well intervention which will be challenging in high deviation well (more than 60-degree deviation). With remotely operated, non-pressure dependent multi-valve units, the technology removes the challenges normally associated with gas-injected production operation in a dual completion well i.e., gas robbing and multi-pointing. DIAL introduces a paradigm shift in design, installation and operation of gas lifted wells. This paper will briefly highlight the justifications of this digital technology in comparison with conventional gas lift techniques. It will consider value added from the design stage, through installation operations, to production optimization. Digitization and automation have become the new concepts in managing the operations in order to boost efficiency that reflected in long-term cost savings especially in Operating Expenditure (OPEX). This paper focusses on a well completed in November 2020, the fourth well to be installed with the DIAL technology across PETRONAS Assets. The authors will provide details of the well strategy, installation process and production phases: system design, pre-job preparations, improvements implementation, run in hole and surface hook-up. The results of well unloading while utilizing the DIAL system to start up the well and lifting the completion brine will be explained in detail in this paper. For each phase, challenges encountered, and lessons learned will be listed together with observed benefits. Despite the additional operational & planning complications due to COVID-19 restrictions, the well was completed with zero Non-Productive Time (NPT) and Loss Time Injury (LTI). Once brought online, this DIAL-assisted production well can be remotely monitored and controlled ensuring continuous production optimization, part of PETRONAS' upstream digitization strategic vision. © 2022, Society of Petroleum Engineers.

AI Based Examination System: A Paradigm Shift in Education Sector

COVID pandemic has brought many changes in day to day working of almost every profession. Education is one such arena where switching to online mode of teaching and assessment was received by many educators as a paradigm shift in pedagogy. Conducting classes online was not a satisfying experience for many but was recognized as the need of the hour. But when it came to online assessment of work, the bright window of light generated an array of questions. Conducting online assessments using live online proctored test, or submissions of assessment sheets has become a new-normal. Many technology platforms provide solutions for online face-to-face meetings, Artificial intelligence based proctored examinations and online objective type assessment sheets with pre-assigned rubrics for marks and evaluation. Since there was a situation where the proctor needs to be present and observe the behaviour of the student, their movements and also the application is to check the face to be recognised with the data already entered, if there is any noise or if someone else if present in the room or not.All these features had made the online examination system little efficient and effective for the universities to conduct the exam hassle free and from remote access. This paper presents a study of various online assessment tools presented by technology companies for smooth conduct of examinations. This study also presents a comparative analysis of features of these tools and their utilization in different domains. © 2022 IEEE.

E-Learning Barriers and Ergonomics

Covid19 is one of the deadliest diseases in recent history till now. The adverse effects may be seen everywhere, especially in the sphere of education. The uses of e-Learning models are multiplicatively increasing day by day in our daily life as a paradigm shift. In such types of situations, e-learning is the only feasible option for teaching-learning institutes. It delivers the learning contents with the help of ICT without the physical involvement of learners. On the other hand, it is facing some serious problems due to barriers and issues, due to the sudden paradigm shift in education. Thus, we focus upon two emerging aspects the barriers to e-learning (infrastructural, implementation, engagement), and issues related to imminent dimensions (pedagogical, technical, ergonomics, contextual). Finally, we propose a simple-and-generic rubric referring to the inevitable e-Learning ergonomics along the three dimensions referred to as physical, psychological, and organizational ergonomics. © 2021 IEEE.

Detection of COVID-19 from Chest X-Ray Images using CNN and ANN Approach

The occurrence of coronavirus (COVID-19), which causes respiratory illnesses, is higher than in 2003. (SARS). COVID-19 and SARS are both spreading over regions and infecting living beings, with more than 73,435 deaths and more than 2000 deaths documented as of August 12, 2020. In contrast, SARS killed 774 lives in 2003, whereas COVID-19 claimed more in the shortest amount of time. However, the fundamental difference between them is that, after 17 years of SARS, a powerful new tool has developed that could be utilized to combat the virus and keep it within reasonable boundaries. One of these tools is machine learning (ML). Recently, machine learning (ML) has caused a paradigm shift in the healthcare industry, and its use in the COVID-19 outbreak could be profitable, especially in forecasting the location of the next outbreak. The use of AI in COVID-19 diagnosis and monitoring can be accelerated, reducing the time and cost of these processes. As a result, this study uses ANN and CNN techniques to detect COVID-19 from chest x-ray pictures, with 95% and 75% accuracy, respectively. Machine learning has greatly enhanced monitoring, diagnosis, monitoring, analysis, forecasting, touch tracking, and medication/vaccine production processes for the Covid-19 disease outbreak, reducing human involvement in nursing treatment. © 2022.

An Overview of Augmenting AI Application in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing a paradigm shift in all spheres of the world by mimicking human cognitive behavior. The application of AI in healthcare is noteworthy because of availability of voluminous data and mushrooming analytics techniques. The various applications of AI, especially, machine learning and neural networks are used across different areas in the healthcare industry. Healthcare disruptors are leveraging this opportunity and are innovating in various fields such as drug discovery, robotic surgery, medical imaging, and the like. The authors have discussed the application of AI techniques in a few areas like diagnosis, prediction, personal care, and surgeries. Usage of AI is noteworthy in this COVID-19 pandemic situation too where it assists physicians in resource allocation, predicting death rate, patient tracing, and life expectancy of patients. The other side of the coin is the ethical issues faced while using this technology like data transparency, bias, security, and privacy of data becomes unanswered. This can be handled better if strict policy measures are imposed for safe handling of data and educating the public about how treatment can be improved by using this technology which will tend to build trust factor in near future. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

A Paradigm Shift in the Combination Changes of SARS-CoV-2 Variants and Increased Spread of Delta Variant (B.1.617.2) across the World.

Since September 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 variants have gained their dominance worldwide, especially in Kenya, Italy, France, the UK, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Finland, Ireland, Singapore, Denmark, Germany, and Portugal. In this study, we developed a model on the frequency of delta variants across 28 countries (R2= 0.1497), displaying the inheritance of mutations during the generation of the delta variants with 123,526 haplotypes. The country-wise haplotype network showed the distribution of haplotypes in USA (10,174), Denmark (5,637), India (4,089), Germany (2,350), Netherlands (1,899), Sweden (1,791), Italy (1,720), France (1,293), Ireland (1,257), Belgium (1,207), Singapore (1,193), Portugal (1,184) and Spain (1,133). Our analysis shows the highest haplotype in Europe with 84% and the lowest in Australia with 0.00001%. A model of scatter plot was generated with a regression line which provided the estimated rate of mutation, including 24.048 substitutions yearly. Our study concluded that the high global prevalence of the delta variants is due to a high frequency of infectivity, supporting the paradigm shift of the viral variants.

Paradigm Shift from Cemented Completions to Multi-Stage Completion Strategy for Managing Tight Gas Development Challenges

The development of North Kuwait Jurassic gas assets has strategic importance for Kuwait's production strategy as the only non-associated gas-producing field in Kuwait. This paper demonstrates the benefits, challenges and lessons learned of the recent paradigm shift in Jurassic tight gas wells' completion strategy from cemented liner to multi-stage completion. Successful expansion of Multi-Stage Completion (MSC) technology is achieved at the field level led by the integrated team efforts in 2020/21, despite challenging constraints of COVID-19. MSC's help to enhance overall well production potential, overcome reservoir and intervention operation challenges, and allow early production delivery, which is a key factor to achieve a strategic asset production target of 70-80% by 2024/25. Many technical and logistic challenges were experienced during first installations of which the relevant learnings will be shared in this paper. The Jurassic gas asset produces mainly from deep high pressure and temperature, conventional and unconventional tight carbonate reservoirs. The recovery from such complex heterogeneous reservoirs is extremely challenging if conventional development strategies are applied. Therefore, a dedicated full development plan applying integrated upstream and downstream technologies is important to achieve the strategic production target. Due to the excessive Jurassic carbonate reservoir tightness, permeability contrast and dual permeability effect (matrix and natural fractures), well productivity potential significantly depends on the effectiveness of subsequent stimulation treatments of such complex heterogeneous reservoirs to improve well productivity and potentially connect with natural fractures. Selecting proper well completion design is critical to overcome such reservoir challenges and ensure effective acid stimulation treatments for the mix of conventional and unconventional formations that need convenient diversion mechanism during stimulation to enhance the productivity of each individual reservoir flow unit and enable selective future flexibility of re-stimulation and reservoir management. The asset team has recently applied a step change in completion strategy to open hole multi-stage ball drop completions using state of the art MSC technologies including closeable frac sleeves, full 3.5-in monobore ID post frac sleeves milling and debris sub enclosure to protect the MSC string during casing tie-back operations. This is to overcome reservoir complexity, eliminate wellbore cleaning and decrease the challenges and risks that accompany multiple perforation intervention operations. As well as, eliminate cement quality risks and uncertainties, improve overall cost, and fast track well delivery to production to meet asset production targets by significantly reducing operation time from approximately one month for plug and perf techniques to less than one week when using continuous and less subsurface intervention operations. Recently, a total of 13 new MSC installations and subsequent multi-stage stimulations were achieved in seven months, fromQ3-2020 to Q1-2021, with positive overall production results, significant improvement of intervention operation efficiency and faster well delivery to production. This paper will describe the details of progress to date, and the plan forward for optimization and new technology trials to further improve well performance. © Copyright 2021, Society of Petroleum Engineers

A review of Mobile Cloud Computing in Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Jordan

The concept of mobile cloud computing (MCC) becomes a commonly recent trend because of the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on most vital sectors around the world. The educational sector has been affected by the covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. The paradigm shift in education strategies has greatly affected many groups in society related to the educational sector. This research study reviews the perceptions of using MCC on teachers, parents, and students during the covid-19 lockdowns period in Jordan. The objectives of the research are to study the educational environment from the MCC user's viewpoint, the difficulties that the users face while using MCC in learning, and their concerns about using MCC since it becomes an inevitable solution. Moreover, this research highlights the extent to which users know and accept MCC that they use and its effects on their privacy. Questionnaire results concluded that over 60 % of the users used social media and over 50collaborative applications as a communication method through their smart mobile devices compared to users who relied on specialized e-learning educational platforms, computers, or televisions. About 50 % of the users agreed to learn MCC techniques if it is required especially if they have the opportunity to see someone using these techniques in front of them, although near 35 % of the users thought that MCC threats their privacy. Over 65 % of the users determined the most difficulty or fear is disconnecting communication, especially while performing online exams. In conclusion, this research suggested an MCC online/offline examination framework. © 2021 ACM.

Transversal modes of being a missional church in the digital context of COVID-19

AJOL : The disruptions of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the year 2020 reshaped all aspects of life, including religious practices and rituals. As more religious activities shifted to digital space during the lockdown periods, there was a growing need to examine the link between religion and digital media. Using the model of the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (UPCSA), this article draws on the notion of transversal rationality and concepts of rationality, cognitive, evaluative and pragmatic to posit that COVID-19 has configured traditional missional and liturgical spaces in ways that locate the agency of the marginalised at the centre. The article highlights how COVID-19 configured Christian mission as it disrupted power dynamics through religious digital spaces, which emerged as a new way of reimaging a missional church. These new digital spaces mediate between interaction and ‘telepresence’, embodied in the representations of the sacred available through online religious systems in practices where users are no longer ordinary believers - but religious participants who have power and freedom to choose. Although this is not a new phenomenon, the article concludes that such spaces created by COVID-19 shifts in power dynamics present opportunities for ordinary members to reinvent new meanings on what it means to be present or absent, to name, narrate and reinterpret the divine and forge new meanings towards participating in the mission of God. Contribution: Although this is not a new phenomenon, this article represents a systematic and practical reflection within a paradigm in which the intersection of philosophy, religious studies, social sciences, humanities and natural sciences generate an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary contested discourse

Teaching through a Global Pandemic: Educational Landscapes Before, during and after COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced an unprecedented global shift within higher education in how instructors communicate with and educate students. This necessary paradigm shift has compelled educators to take a critical look at their teaching styles and use of technology. Computing education traditionally focuses on experiential, in-person activities. The pandemic has mandated that educators reconsider their use of student time and has catalysed overnight innovations in the educational setting. Even in the unlikely event that we return entirely to pre-pandemic norms, many new practices have emerged that offer valuable lessons to be carried forward into our post-COVID-19 teaching. This working group will explore what the post-COVID-19 academic landscape might look like, and how we can use lessons learned during this educational shift to improve our subsequent practice. Following a multinational study of computing faculty, this exploratory stage will identify practices within computing that appear to have been improved through exposure to online tools and technologies, and that should therefore continue to be used in the online space. In the broadest sense, our motivation is to explore what the post-COVID-19 educational landscape will look like for computing education. © 2021 ACM.
