Research on the Influence Mechanism of Block Chain on the Credit of Transportation Capacity Supply Chain Finance

This paper aims at the promotion of the application of inclusive financing into transportation capacity financing by combining transportation capacity supply chain with block chain technology as a brand-new financing topic. It focuses on the influencing mechanism by block chain on credit access, credit line, and credit supervision. From the perspective of “transportation” finance, the application of block chain in different scenarios is demonstrated after analyzing the attenuation process of credit transmission in the supply chain, the reviewing of two credit line evaluation methods of business self-compensation and credit guarantee, and the reviewing of regulatory requirements in transaction closed-loop, delivery closed-loop, and capital closed-loop; therefore the 3 major influencing mechanisms by block chain on the transportation capacity supply chain financing credit granting are discovered, indicating the effective improvement of financial institutions participation and better credit line for the financing of micro, medium, and small transportation enterprises (SMEs) by the application of block chain technology.

Andragogy and the Learning-Tech Culture Revolution

The present tsunami of technological change is causing disruption across everything from business, transportation, finance, government, entertainment, and relationships, just to name a few. This disruption has only just begun to exert influence on the learning process and formal education. In much the same way that these industries are experiencing disruption from the digital revolution, andragogy may also be on the verge of what could be called a learning-tech culture revolution. This chapter describes three emerging technology categories that could help to produce such innovations include (1) the internet of things (IoT), (2) blockchain, and (3) artificial intelligence (AI). While there is a bevy of writing and expert commentary presently emerging about these technologies, there is very little supposition so far about their potential impact on learning culture and adult education. The following pages will include a brief explanation of each of these technologies with discussion about the ways they could be leveraged to make a momentous impact on andragogy as we know it.

Knowledge Geometry in Phenomenon Perception and Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades industry, entertainment, transportation, finance, and health. It seems to be in a kind of golden age, but today AI is based on the strength of techniques that bear little relation to the thought mechanism. Contemporary techniques of machine learning, deep learning and case-based reasoning seem to be occupied with delivering functional and optimized solutions, leaving aside the core reasons of why such solutions work. This paper, in turn, proposes a theoretical study of perception, a key issue for knowledge acquisition and intelligence construction. Its main concern is the formal representation of a perceived phenomenon by a casual observer and its relationship with machine intelligence. This work is based on recently proposed geometric theory, and represents an approach that is able to describe the inuence of scope, development paradigms, matching process and ground truth on phenomenon perception. As a result, it enumerates the perception variables and describes the implications for AI.

Determinants of Profitability and Problems Encountered by Women Palm Oil Processors in Ogbomoso Agricultural Zone of Oyo State, Nigeria

Aims: The study described the socio-economic characteristics, examined the determinants of profitability and identified the problems encountered by respondents during palm oil processing. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Ogo- Oluwa, Surulere and Oriire Local Government Areas, Ogbomoso agricultural zone, Oyo State, Nigeria between March 2016 and June, 2016. Methodology: A multistage sampling technique was used to select one hundred and twenty respondents from Ogo-Oluwa, Surulere and Oriire Local Government Areas in Ogbomoso Agricultural zone. Structured questionnaire coupled with interview schedule were used to elicit data. Analytical tools were descriptive statistics and linear regression. Results: The findings showed that 69.16% of the respondents fell within 20-50 years, about 87.5% were married and 72.50% had formal education. About 83.00% had their source of capital from personal savings and 96.66% engaged in other occupation. Selected variables determined profitability as shown by regression analysis. Conclusion: Highest qualification, membership of association, ownership of oil palm plantation and quantity of palm oil produced determined profitability while water scarcity, transportation, finance and market instability were the problems faced by respondents.

Innovations are Coming to the Human Resource

Harbor View Advisors recently hosted a roundtable event focused on the trends in Human Capital Management Technology. Participants represented a cross-section of industries and roles including Human Resource (HR) Directors, Talent Acquisition Managers, and Chief People Officers. The participant companies represented sectors that account for roughly 50% of U.S. private employment, including Healthcare, Transportation, Finance, E-Commerce, and Utilities. Opportunities for technology-enabled service in HR are expanding, and investments in the industry are paving the way for future innovations in talent acquisition, employee engagement, and leadership development. Breakthrough technologies, like AI, are growing support in the industry and HR executives are excited to experiment. There is a vision for HR where successful innovations are combined with existing point solutions to form a suite that can deliver a user-friendly experience for both candidates and administrators.

Education Profile of Children in Families Post-Eruption of Sinabung in the Karo Regency, Indonesia

The eruption of Mount Sinabung causes damage and loss, especially in education.
