With technological advancement, energy consumption and lack of energy supply are inevitable. Approximately 20% of total energy consumption is used for artificial light in standard office buildings. To reduce energy consumption for illumination purposes, a sunlight guiding panel was used to increase the amount of sunlight available indoors. However, in most designs of a sunlight guiding panel, the panel has to be placed on the outdoor surface of a window glass. This type of design is inconvenient for assembling and cleaning. To enhance the practicality of a sunlight guiding panel, we attempted to place the sunlight guiding panel on the indoor surface of a window glass. The simulation results revealed that when the sunlight guiding panel was placed on the indoor surface of a window glass, the aspect ratio of the light-guiding structure of the sunlight guiding panel had to be increased for guiding the sunlight from outdoors so as to increase the amount of sunlight indoors. To fabricate the proposed sunlight guiding panel, UV nanoimprint lithography was applied to pattern the light-guiding structure of the sunlight guiding panel. Moreover, a mold with a high-precision light-guiding structure was used in UV nanoimprint lithography. The mold was fabricated using ultraprecision machining technology. Both analytical and experimental investigations were conducted to confirm the proposed design. The average light-guiding efficiency was 89.9% with a solar elevation angle range of 35° to 65°, and the experimental results agreed well with the simulation results. This study elucidates light-guiding efficiency when the sunlight guiding panel is placed on the indoor surface of a window glass, which can increase the usage convenience and application potential of sunlight guiding panels.

This paper investigates new methods for measuring forces and tactile sense as a contribution towards relaying the sense of touch to the surgeon. The approach used is to determine a distribution of contact force using a small number of sensory outputs to detect the bending of a surface of known behaviour. Software algorithms have been produced to interpret the contacting force from sensory data, and have achieved a bandwidth of 30 Hz and an accuracy of 2 per cent. The sensor construction is of sufficiently low cost to produce a disposable unit and uses materials that are compatible with the invasive working environment.

The trend of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) has been emerged since the year of 2011 by German government. In this IR 4.0 era, automatization is emphasized in the particular industry. With the invention of high technologies on machines in organizations, the practices and business models of organizations would be impacted. The human resource practitioners might be facing several challenges in organizations, such as lacking of skilled workforce in managing the high-technology machines, as well as the employees’ retention in this fast changing working environment. The human resource officers need to ensure that the employees are equipped with the updated knowledge and skills in order to operate the machines. Besides, human resource development is also playing a vital role in IR 4.0. Effective human resource practices could improve the working environment in the era of IR 4.0 by promoting the creativity of employees. Therefore, it could be seen that, in human resource aspects, human resource practices are concerned in organizations in order to match with the trend of IR 4.0. However, there is a lacking of discussion on the aspect of human resource practices, where most of the studies discussed on the technologies aspect of IR 4.0. Hence, this paper intends to discuss the human resource practices that could assist organizations in achieving the goal of IR 4.0.

BACKGROUND: Research is focused on companies that offshored their production and operate in the international business environment, in the current globalized world placed generically under the 4.0 index, inspired by the fourth industrial revolution. OBJECTIVE: The paper aims to draw up a structured and multilayered framework for identifying sources of risks related to the work environment and to the human resources management in this context. METHODS: An extended analysis of information in the literature and on the web is conducted to define the mentioned conceptual structure and to identify domains, processes, and actions that should be considered hosting such risks. First filtered by the authors based on their experience as consultants and managers in international projects, results are then validated by successive feedbacks from their peers. RESULTS: Two levels of the framework are detailed, the first correlating globalization and 4.0 development stage challenges, identifying the risk sources within a matrix detailing on one dimension technological progress, governmental & legal issues, cultural patterns, and on the other, domains sensitive to risks regarding the human resource, such as work performance, working skills, working ethics & discipline, and working models, environment & tools. The second level focuses on the sources of risks arise due to a company’s digital transformation with regard to the choice of the working models configuration, employees’ recruitment & hiring, training, working planning, organization & control, and setting up working regulations. CONCLUSIONS: The results are intended to provide support for easier and more comprehensive identification of work and human resources related risks in the mentioned context.

The process of designing microwave devices is difficult and time-consuming because the analytical and numerical methods used in the design process are complex. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new methods that will allow for an acceleration of synthesis and analytic procedures. This is especially important in cases where the procedures of synthesis and analysis have to be repeated many times, until the correct device configuration is found. Artificial neural networks are one of the possible alternatives for the acceleration of the design process. In this paper we present a procedure for analyzing a hybrid meander system (HMS) using the feed-forward backpropagation network (FFBN). We compared the prediction results of the transmission factor and the reflection factor , obtained using the FFBN, with results obtained using traditional analytical and numerical methods, as well as with experimental results. The comparisons show that prediction results significantly depend on the FFBN structure. In terms of the lowest difference between the characteristics calculated using the method of moments (MoM) and characteristics predicted using the FFBN, the best prediction was achieved using the FFBN with three hidden layers, which included 18 neurons in the first hidden layer, 14 neurons in the second hidden layer, and 2 neurons in the third hidden layer. Differences between the predicted and calculated results did not exceed 7% for the parameter and 5% for the parameter. The prediction of parameters using the FFBN allowed the analysis procedure to be sped up from hours to minutes. The experimental results correlated with the predicted characteristics.

The recent transformation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis drives the world economy to an accelerated mutation. This chapter focuses on how the current developments affect the various socioeconomic organizations and systems and how they can adapt to this new emerging reality. To this end, relevant forecasts on the current pandemic crisis are examined. Τhis crisis seems to cause the acceleration of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, functioning as a catalyst of the structural changes also observed in the working environment. The chapter suggests that all socioeconomic organizations (irrespectively of their size, spatial reach, and sectorial focus) are called upon nowadays to readjust themselves and that innovation is the fundamental generator for exiting the ongoing structural crisis. However, innovation unavoidably creates significant changes that socioeconomic organizations must manage effectively in the foreseeable future, according to a new way of perceiving organizational resilience and adaptability for the post-COVID-19 era.

Fourth industrial revolution would have strong impact on services and working environment so that a new philosophy should be applied to manage organization resources. Educational leaders need certain competencies to respond swiftly to new developments and their implications in their organizations. Thus, this research undertake a systematic literature review to shed light on the characteristics of fourth industrial revolution and the required competencies of educational leaders in this era. The results of literature emphasized the importance of high communication rate. Employees should be connected in a network regardless of their positions. They need to connect together with heads, hearts, and hands and have positive emotions to overcome challenges they confront. Building relationships with all stakeholders are also important. Understanding individuals’ personalities is the key to change and control their attitudes and behaviours through changing their environment. The values and morale of organizations and leaders are important to maximize performance of employees. Furthermore, some researches highlighted that some practices eliminate the change process. For example, having politics and discrimination between employees, and ignoring employees’ emotions will hinder the progress of organization. Hierarchical structure of organization inhibits organization transformation and progress. Therefore, there must be strategic planning along with appropriate skills, abilities and adequate resources to implement and sustain the change to meet fourth industrial revolution.
