Tangerang City is characterized by its dense residential, commercial, and industrial activities and strategic proximity to Jakarta. This study aims to evaluate the strategic planning and implementation of innovative city initiatives in Tangerang, Indonesia, focusing on integrating blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) big data technologies and innovation in urban development. This study has employed explanatory survey data from a structured questionnaire distributed to a diverse Tangerang community sample, including users and non-users of the “Smart City Tangerang Live” application. The survey was conducted for 2-months March to April 2022, included 71 and the sample included individuals across 13 districts, utilizing cluster sampling to ensure representativeness. The findings reveal a positive community response towards the smart city initiatives, with significant Engagement and interaction with the “Tangerang Live” application. However, technology access and usage disparities among different community segments were noted. The study highlights the critical role of intelligent technologies in transforming urban infrastructure and services, improving the quality of life, and fostering sustainable urban development in Tangerang. The implications of this study are multifaceted. For urban planners and policymakers, the results underscore the importance of strategic planning in innovative city development, emphasizing the need for inclusive and accessible technological solutions. The study also suggests potential areas for improvement in community engagement and public awareness campaigns to promote the adoption and efficient use of smart technologies.
Artificial intelligence has transformed teachers’ teaching models. This article explores the application of artificial intelligence in basic education in Macao middle schools. This study adopts case analysis in qualitative research, using a total of eight cases from the innovative technology education platform of the Macau education and Youth Development Bureau. These data illustrate how Macao’s artificial intelligence technology promotes teaching innovation in basic education. These eight cases are closely related to the application of artificial intelligence in basic education in Macao. The survey results show that Macao’s education policy has a positive effect on teaching innovation in artificial intelligence education. In teaching practice, the school also cooperates with the government’s policy. The application of AI technology in teaching, students’ learning styles, changes in teachers’ roles, and new needs for teacher training are all influential.
We present an interdisciplinary exploration of technostress in knowledge-intensive organizations, including both business and healthcare settings, and its impact on a healthy working life. Technostress, a contemporary form of stress induced by information and communication technology, is associated with reduced job satisfaction, diminished organizational commitment, and adverse patient care outcomes. This article aims to construct an innovative framework, called The Integrated Technostress Resilience Framework, designed to mitigate technostress and promote continuous learning within dynamic organizational contexts. In this perspective article we incorporate a socio-technical systems approach to emphasize the complex interplay between technological and social factors in organizational settings. The proposed framework is expected to provide valuable insights into the role of transparency in digital technology utilization, with the aim of mitigating technostress. Furthermore, it seeks to extend information systems theory, particularly the Technology Acceptance Model, by offering a more nuanced understanding of technology adoption and use. Our conclusion includes considerations for the design and implementation of information systems aimed at fostering resilience and adaptability in organizations undergoing rapid technological change.
The purpose of this study is to address the issue of low local participation in ecotourism management in Indonesia, specifically at the Malela Waterfall ecotourism site in Cicadas Village, Rongga District, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The research method is action research, which includes observation data gathering, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions. The findings of the study show that by carrying out the process of developing social infrastructure, namely development that prioritizes strengthening human resources in carrying out social service functions in ecotourism activities such as skill training of residents in the field of ecotourism, massive ecotourism outreach, and strengthening social communities—Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and youth organizations as ecotourism actors. This type of development serves to raise awareness and participation among local inhabitants in Malela Waterfall ecotourism in West Bandung Regency. This promotes harmony and mutually beneficial partnerships among all Malela Waterfall ecotourism stakeholders. Furthermore, increasing community participation benefits the well-being of residents in the tourist region.
The idea of emotions that is concealed in human language gives rise to metaphor. It is challenging to compute and develop a framework for emotions in people because of its detachment and diversity. Nonetheless, machine translation heavily relies on the modeling and computation of emotions. When emotion metaphors are calculated into machine translation, the language is significantly more colorful and satisfies translating criteria such as truthfulness, creativity and beauty. Emotional metaphor computation often uses artificial intelligence (AI) and the detection of patterns and it needs massive, superior samples in the emotion metaphor collection. To facilitate data-driven emotion metaphor processing through machine translation, the study constructs a bi-lingual database in both Chinese and English that contains extensive emotion metaphors. The fundamental steps involved in generating the emotion metaphor collection are demonstrated, comprising the basis of theory, design concepts, acquiring data, annotating information and index management. This study examines how well the emotion metaphor corpus functions in machine translation by proposing and testing a novel earthworm swarm-tunsed recurrent network (ES-RN) architecture in a Python tool. Additionally, the comparison study is carried out using machine translation datasets that already exist. The findings of this study demonstrated that emotion metaphors might be expressed in machine translation using the emotion metaphor database developed in this research.
Financial literacy is an essential life skill today and plays a crucial role in business success. This study examined the relationship between college students’ financial literacy, financial management behavior, and entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. A survey was conducted among college students in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions, and a total of 272 responses were analyzed using SPSS 28.0. The results showed that financial literacy partially positively affects financial management behavior. Furthermore, financial management behavior positively influences entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Financial management behavior partially mediates the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Improving the financial literacy of college students during adolescence serves as a motivation for entrepreneurship and significantly impacts their exploration and practice of various income activities to achieve their expected future living standards. The study’s findings indicate that for potential entrepreneurs, recognizing and promoting entrepreneurship as a source of innovation and growth requires incorporating financial literacy and desirable financial management behavior education into university curricula.
