This article uses a case-study approach to discuss the effects of Chinese economic engagement on three dimensions of human capital development: local employment, training and skill building, and knowledge and technology transfer. The study findings suggests that Chinese economic engagement can and does contribute to human capital development in Africa; however, this is dependent on certain sectoral factors and contextual conditions. This study advances a working hypothesis that the human capital development impact of Chinese economic engagement will vary across countries and sectors of the African economy. This working hypothesis seeks to guide further research towards developing a theoretical framework for the study of Chinese economic engagement in Africa and its effects on human capital development. The article also identifies research areas that should be further explored in order to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of Chinese economic engagement in Africa.

This paper describes a group activity concerning the topic of climate change, designed to introduce the concepts of sustainable development into a Robotic Engineering degree. The purpose of this activity was to make students reflect about the impact of their work on the planet as future engineers by asking them to design an environmentally friendly robot that also integrated social and economic aspects, covering the three dimensions of sustainability in this way. Students were surveyed in order to study different aspects of their commitment, attitudes, practices, and motivation towards sustainability. In addition to the overall analysis of the survey, three specific studies were carried out with the aim of comparing the responses of different population groups: (i) Students who completed the proposed assignment and students who did not, (ii) female and male students, and (iii) roles played in the assignment. The results of the analysis revealed the high commitment of the students with respect to sustainability, but also a lack of active participation and awareness of their impact as future engineers. The activity was not only a way to introduce sustainability concepts, but in many cases, it also became a motivation for the participants, especially for the female students.

The Impact

With social and economic environment changes occurring in the world and deepening of the urbanization process, China’s urban development exhibits a new phenomenon of growth and shrinkage fluctuations. The resource-based city shrinkage phenomenon is particularly prominent. Research on the commonalities and patterns of similar groups should be enhanced. We constructed an urban shrinkage evaluation index system from the three dimensions of population, economy and space. Accordingly, we explored the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of 175 resource-based cities in China from a multidimensional perspective with the entropy method, shrinkage model and transfer matrix method. The results indicated that most resource-based cities in China occurred in the non-shrinking state, but their development speed gradually decreased or even presented stagflation. The shrinkage measure-related results in the different dimensions revealed that the number of shrinking cities is increasing. The population, economic and comprehensive shrinkage levels were mainly slight and remained stable. The number of cities experiencing moderate and severe shrinkage was relatively small and mostly encompassed short-term shrinkage. Spatial shrinkage demonstrated a clear administrative hierarchy difference. Moreover, the spatial distribution range of shrinking cities in each dimension expanded and exhibited obviously similar characteristics, i.e., shrinking cities were relatively concentrated in Northeast China, while they were more scattered in other regions. Furthermore, the geodetector technique was applied to reveal the influencing factors of resource-based city growth and shrinkage. Based on the results, the change in the secondary industry output value share at the start of the study was the primary factor. The impact of each employment structure indicator from 2014 to 2018 was particularly significant. Comprehensive exploration of the shrinkage characteristics of this particular group of cities and their development behavior from a multidimensional perspective can provide an important reference for the transformation and high-quality development of resource-based cities.

The Impact

Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) has been adopted in organizations in various tasks, including interpreting models to identify indicators of service failures. To avoid misleading practitioners, AIOps model interpretations should be consistent (i.e., different AIOps models on the same task agree with one another on feature importance). However, many AIOps studies violate established practices in the machine learning community when deriving interpretations, such as interpreting models with suboptimal performance, though the impact of such violations on the interpretation consistency has not been studied. In this article, we investigate the consistency of AIOps model interpretation along three dimensions: internal consistency, external consistency, and time consistency. We conduct a case study on two AIOps tasks: predicting Google cluster job failures and Backblaze hard drive failures. We find that the randomness from learners, hyperparameter tuning, and data sampling should be controlled to generate consistent interpretations. AIOps models with AUCs greater than 0.75 yield more consistent interpretation compared to low-performing models. Finally, AIOps models that are constructed with the Sliding Window or Full History approaches have the most consistent interpretation with the trends presented in the entire datasets. Our study provides valuable guidelines for practitioners to derive consistent AIOps model interpretation.

Abstract: The development of individual characters was inseparable from the influence of the social environment. Particularly in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, the development is attached to the importance of Information Technology (IT). This study investigated the impact of religious conversion on the students' characteristics in the industrial revolution 4.0 era. It was conducted to the students of Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Bandung, who lived in Rumah Yatim and Tahfidz Qur’an Madani Bandung. It was a qualitative method using case study, designed to comprehensively explore the students’ experiences during the process of their religious conversion and to understand how the experiences transformed their characters. The study used the three-stage data analysis, involving data reduction, presentation and conclusions. From the analysis, it was concluded that: 1) The religious conversions done by the students were influenced predominantly by their mental and environmental factors, especially by the place where they lived; 2) The religious conversions were motivated by certain events such as parents’ divorces or deaths; 3) Their character transformations were varying with three dimensions. In the cognitive dimension, they showed an improvement of critical thinking. In the psychomotor dimension, they were more skilled to socialize. In the affective, they became more emotionally mature because of the improved memorization of the Qur'an. Abstrak: Perkembangan karakter seseorang tidak terlepas dari pengaruh lingkungan, apalagi pengaruh teknologi informasi di Era Revolusi Industri ke empat. Penelitian ini membahas tentang dampak konversi agama terhadap karakteristik peserta didik di usia remaja, khususnya pada mahasiswi Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Bandung yang tinggal di Rumah Yatim dan Tahfidz Qur’an Madani Bandung. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui bagaimana dampak konversi agama terhadap perubahan karakteristik informan. Sehingga bisa mempelajari lebih dalam setiap kejadian dari proses konversi agamanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus, yang bertujuan untuk mempelajari penuh dari setiap kejadian yang dialami informan. Teknik analisis datanya meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Dari hasil analisis dapat disimpulkan bahwa: 1) Konsep konversi agama adalah sebagai berubahnya suatu keadaan agama yang didominasi karena faktor batin (kejiwaan) dan faktor lingkungan tempat mereka tinggal. 2) Motivasi konversi agama mereka karena adanya kejadian-kejadian tertentu seperti keluarga broken home, orangtua meninggal, dan lainnya. 3) Dampak karakter setelah mereka konversi agama sangat beragam, dimulai dari kognitif mereka daya berpikir semakin kritis, dari psikomotor mereka lebih terampil untuk bersosialisasi, serta yang terakhir dari afektif karakter mereka lebih terjaga karena salah satu penguatnya adalah hafalan al-Qur’an.

This paper presents a case study that investigated a building system coordination process used three-dimensional (3-D) models during design and construction of a complex research facility. We modeled and coordinated a variety of building systems in three dimensions, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. We documented the 3-D modeling and coordination process, evaluated existing software tools support of this process, documented the resources required to execute this process, and assessed the impact of the 3-D models on the coordination process. We also identified the design and construction knowledge used to create a coordinated and constructible design. We classified this knowledge in a framework instantiated by examples and concepts found in this study. The framework associates the design and construction constraints that govern the modeling and coordination process with the knowledge domain, the domain context, and the specific modeling and coordination task. The main contributions of the paper are the evaluation of the 3-D coordination process and the identification and classification of building system coordination knowledge.Key words: 3-D modeling, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) coordination, building systems, knowledge framework, product and process modeling, constructability.

Sustentabilidade é um conceito relacional e sistêmico, que precisa se analisado de diversos pontos de vista e como ideia isolada não tem significado. Nas teorias tradicionais são focadas na tríade econômica, social e ambiental e são for­muladas estratégias que são aplicadas e/ ou avaliadas em confronto com os impactos das ações humanas. Esse formato, contudo, geralmente encontra obstáculos que são quase insuperáveis dadas a complexidade dialética da temática. A busca incessante de soluções baseadas na visão dinâmica da interação entre as diferentes dimensões envolvidas é funda­mental para a compreensão sistêmica do cenário da sustentabilidade em suas diversas nuances. Assumindo o ambiente complexo das inter-relações da sustentabilidade este artigo tem como objetivo tomar como base o Modelo proposto por McDonough e Braungard (2002 a ) para analisar criticamente as ações desenvolvidas Triple Top Line,pelo Laboratório O Imaginário da UFPE na comunidade produtora de artesanato cerâmico do Cabo de Santo Agostinho em Pernambuco. A abordagem metodológica tem a perspectiva dialética e também considera as dimensões da cultura e da prosperidade como complementares das dimensões originalmente propostas pelo Modelo. Os resultados utilizando o Modelo adap­tado pelos autores através do uso dos fractais serviram para gerar novas perguntas bem como para o reconhecimento dinâmico de novas respostas. Do rebatimento do estudo de caso do Cabo de Santo Agostinho ao Modelo Triple Top Line adaptado, é possível afirmar que a gestão do design funciona como elo de sincronia e coesão das ações que permitiram alcançar as três dimensões da sustentabilidade: prosperidade/economia, equidade e meio ambiente/cultura.ABSTRACT Sustainability is an associative and systemic concept, which needs to be analyzed from different points of view and has no meaning as an isolated Idea. On traditional theories the focus is in the economic, social and environmental triad and there are strategies that area formulated, applied and evaluated and then compared with the impact of human actions. However, this configuration usually faces obstacles that are almost insuperable, given the dialectic complexity of the theme. The inces­sant search of solutions based on the dynamic vision of interaction between the different dimensions involved is fundamental to the systemic understanding of the sustainability scene in its diverse nuances.From this standpoint and presuming the sustai­nability inter-relations complex environment, this articles’ purpose is to base the critical analyzes of the actions developed at Cabo de Santo Agostinho in Pernambuco – Brazil ceramic craftsmanship on McDonough and Braungard (2002 a) s Triple Top Line Model. The methodological approach considers the dialectic perspective and also takes in account culture and prosperity as proposed complementary dimensions by the original Model. The results obtained through the model s authors’ adaptation using the fractals generated new questions to the dynamic acknowledgement of new answers. From the Triple Top Line model s adaptation to Cabo de Santo Agostinho – PE, Brazil ceramic craftsmanship case study, it is possible to say that the design management works as a link that syncs and provides cohesion to the actions and have allowed to reach the three dimensions of sustainability: prosperity/economy, equity and environment/culture.
