Institutionalization and formalization of research institutions in Police are processes which have a great impact for its functioning. Outer environment of the institution affects its scope of action and creates cooperation with units taking part in solving a given criminal issue. In this publication, there has been done an analysis of the literature affecting factors influencing the progress of processes. Along, outcomes of the empirical research showing the elements that create both processes in diagnosed institution, has been delivered.

Objective The present meta-analysis sought to determine significant factors that predict trust in artificial intelligence (AI). Such factors were divided into those relating to (a) the human trustor, (b) the AI trustee, and (c) the shared context of their interaction. Background There are many factors influencing trust in robots, automation, and technology in general, and there have been several meta-analytic attempts to understand the antecedents of trust in these areas. However, no targeted meta-analysis has been performed examining the antecedents of trust in AI. Method Data from 65 articles examined the three predicted categories, as well as the subcategories of human characteristics and abilities, AI performance and attributes, and contextual tasking. Lastly, four common uses for AI (i.e., chatbots, robots, automated vehicles, and nonembodied, plain algorithms) were examined as further potential moderating factors. Results Results showed that all of the examined categories were significant predictors of trust in AI as well as many individual antecedents such as AI reliability and anthropomorphism, among many others. Conclusion Overall, the results of this meta-analysis determined several factors that influence trust, including some that have no bearing on AI performance. Additionally, we highlight the areas where there is currently no empirical research. Application Findings from this analysis will allow designers to build systems that elicit higher or lower levels of trust, as they require.

The South African accounting profession needs racial transformation. Consequently, students pursuing the chartered accountant (South Africa) (CA(SA)) designation, especially at-risk Black students, require adequate support. To be successful, the support must be driven by factors influencing students’ academic performance. As prior academic performance is one such factor, this study examines the relationship between the National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams and the National Benchmark Test (NBT) for students enrolled in an accounting degree at a South African university. Due to numerous moderate and strong correlations between NSC and NBT results, without multicollinearity, it was concluded that both sets of results should be considered as factors contributing to students’ academic performance. The findings highlight the need for further empirical research on NSC and NBT results as determinants of success for accounting students.

The article focuses on the analysis of factors which influence positively or negatively on the constructive international multicultural dialogue. Not only basic factors preventing constructive engagement in multicultural educational environment such as ethnocentrism, cultural shock, stereotypification, but also the factors which influence positively on this process formation of tolerance consciousness, national self-consciousness and others are marked in the article. Data of empirical researches which show the real attitude of students of Armenian universities to this problem are illustrated.

Selected anticorrosion preserving agents were subjected to a comparison on the basis of tests made under operating conditions. Resistance of materials to corrosion markedly varies with operating conditions and impact of outer environment with the most important factors influencing the corrosion rate being SO<sub>2</sub> content, temperature and humidity. Relative protective efficiency of preserving agents was assessed on the basis of weight losses of protected and unprotected samples. It was found out that the material&rsquo;s resistance to corrosion is significantly depending on warehousing conditions (SO<sub>2</sub>, temperature, humidity, etc.) and on the quality of the applied preservant. Depending on various environments, the values of relative protective efficiency of water-soluble preservant and preserving agent based on vegetable oils were ranging from 38&ndash;87% and 47&ndash;75%, respectively.
