AbstractIn the Fourth Industrial Revolution some important leading technologies are identified as emerging technologies with unknown in advance potential risks. Emphasized is the need for new approaches and solutions for forming of increased information awareness, knowledge and competencies in the present and future generations to use the possibilities of Industry 4.0 for technological breakthroughs. A method for evaluation and prognosis of the knowledge, skills and competencies of the students in the virtual education space is proposed in the form of a five-step process. The method can be adapted to new technologies and applications. Research and analysis of the method are carried out in the academic course ‘Artificial Intelligence’ at the Burgas Free University with the application of the instruments of the Orange system for experimentation and inference.

This work analyzes how the so-called Industry 4.0 technologies are being implemented in companies in the Region of Murcia, in Southeastern Spain. The objective was to determine through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews the current state of 4.0 technologies in Murcia, including additional data of the companies, such as age, number of employees and turnover. Most types of companies in the Region were represented in terms of size, age, turnover, profits and profitability. This study analyzes the relationship between the degree of implementation of 4.0 technologies, investment and training of workers, with companies’ seniority, number of employees, turnover, profits and profitability. The results obtained are significantly higher in companies with higher turnover, profits and profitability, which in turn, have the best levels of investment and training of their workers in 4.0 technologies. The opinions of the companies determined the factors that drove the companies to implement these technologies, the factors perceived as barriers, the opportunities in the current context that encourage the adoption of technologies, as well as the threats that may jeopardize their progress in digital transformation. The conclusions obtained can be taken into account in regional policies that implement appropriate actions to help drive the fourth industrial revolution in the region.

The fourth industrial revolution has triggered a notable shift in engineering education, bringing the need to create new professionals. In this context, the active learning approach appears to be more important than ever. Nevertheless, to date quite lot of challenges related to active learning have been accumulated. Diversity of backgrounds and knowledge levels of students presented together in the same learning environment can become a source of dissatisfaction and failure for several groups of learners. To explore the reasons for these phenomena, the conduct of different categories of learners is examined and compared in terms of individual engagement and success in education. It is found that the student-centered approach is not necessarily the best method of teaching and learning when applied to students with great differentiation. A number of other conditions are required for success, namely, working in small groups, drawing on learner’s abilities, individual instruction methods, etc. These conditions are analyzed in detail in this study. The need for a rigorous and systematic orientation of learners in a multidimensional educational environment is proposed as a prospective form and an integral part of the university staff activity.

The subject of research in the article is the National Innovation System (NIS). The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the NIS of Entrepreneurship and the essence of public-private partnership in innovation. Objectives: to reveal the essence and structure of NIS, to substantiate the features of their development in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, to characterize the current state of the NIS, to systematize the limitations of its effective functioning. The following results were obtained: proposals were developed to improve the NIS taking into account the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. Conclusions: the article reveals that Ukraine has good results of innovation in terms of indicators characterizing educational potential, human capital and research. At the same time, the slowdown in innovative development occurs due to an unfavorable institutional environment, environmental instability, operational instability, government inefficiency, problems with the rule of law, uncertainty in the status of insolvency and investment provision. Overcoming obstacles to the formation of the NIS of Entrepreneurship is an important condition for the development of the national economy, dictates the need to improve the state's innovation policy. The active involvement of the state in the development of the NIS will allow to overcome the following obstacles: insufficient use of opportunities for participation in international programs; inconsistency between the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine, which regulate intellectual property relations and special acts on this issue, limited efficiency of innovation infrastructure, insufficient development of venture financing in Ukraine and problems of legal protection of property of foreign investors. The improvement of the situation will be facilitated by the establishment of public-private partnership, which in relation to the innovation sphere is an organizational form of cooperation between the state and business in the implementation of innovative projects in certain areas of the national economy on a contractual basis. Thus, the relevance of public-private partnerships for innovation has been proven.

The Impact

Background: Workaholism is described as a constant, internal drive to work and behavioral addiction to work. Studies have shown the negative associations between workaholism, job performance, and health results as disrupted sleep. The purpose of this research was to compare the prevalence of workaholics among the academic staff of practical and theoretical Faculties in Egyptian universities using the Dutch Workaholism Scale (DUWAS) and to determine associated sleep problems. Also, it studied the added impact of E-learning on the prevalence of workaholism frequency during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 336 participants. Work addiction was assessed using DUWAS (17 items) as well as questionnaires on personal, occupational characteristics, and sleep problems. DUWAS scale was repeated after six months during COVID 19 pandemic to investigate the impact of E-learning on the workaholic behavior of the studied groups.Results: Our study revealed that the prevalence of workaholism was 33 percent. 32.8% and 33.7% were listed for the faculties of Medicine and Arts, respectively. After the COVID-19 pandemic, workaholic frequency was significantly increased to be 46.4%. Adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that workaholism had negatively impacted sleep in terms of difficulty initiating sleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, and insufficient sleep.Conclusion: The prevalence of workaholism appears to be high among university staff members especially after COVID-19 crisis. Sleep problems were linked to workaholics more than other workers. We recommend encouraging employees to work to their contracted hours, as excess work over extended periods may have adverse effects not only on organizational productivity but also on their health.
