“…FS3: 'Utilize modern technologies for digitizing the entire education system' strategy helps to restore education with proper measures during a pandemic situation if we digitalize the entire system . Developing a performance improvement and monitoring system can be possible with the help of science, modern technology, and innovation (Surana et al 2020). Technologies, training programs, and expertise are required to digitize the education system (Romprasert and Monjagapate 2020).…”

COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on almost every field including the education sector. Due to the requirements for social distancing, the pandemic has provided an impetus for change in the education sector; technology-based sustainable education platforms not experienced previously have become essential. This research aims to propose flexible strategies to mitigate challenges of COVID-19 pandemic in the education sector of an emerging economy: Bangladesh. A total of 16 challenges and 19 flexible strategies were identified based on stakeholders' inputs and literature review. To evaluate the flexible strategies, a methodology based on Pareto analysis and a revised rough-decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (rough-DEMATEL) method is proposed. Findings reveal that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, 'Maintain social distancing and health protocol,' 'Enhance the communication and collaboration among students and teachers,' 'Financial incentives from government,' 'Utilize modern technologies for digitizing the entire education system,' and 'Know how to engage students in an online environment' are the vital strategies that must be implemented if education continues through E-learning. Because the current pandemic situation is a new experience for many individuals around the world, this study helps to recognize the challenges and to propose effective strategies to solve these challenges so that education does not become stagnant.

Impact Tech Startups: A Conceptual Framework, Machine-Learning-Based Methodology and Future Research Directions

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Impact Tech Startup (ITS) is a new, rapidly developing type of organizational category. Based on an entrepreneurial approach and technological foundations, ITSs adopt innovative strategies to tackle a variety of social and environmental challenges within a for-profit framework and are usually backed by private investment. This new organizational category is thus far not discussed in the academic literature. The paper first provides a conceptual framework for studying this organizational category, as a combination of aspects of social enterprises and startup businesses. It then proposes a machine learning (ML)-based algorithm to identify ITSs within startup databases. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are used as a referential framework for characterizing ITSs, with indicators relating to those 17 goals that qualify a startup for inclusion in the impact category. The paper concludes by discussing future research directions in studying ITSs as a distinct organizational category through the usage of the ML methodology.

This article aims to examine India’s approaches to handling the items of ethics and legal regulation (framework) of the development and application and the use of artificial intelligence in the military sphere in the context of national acts, capabilities and needs of India. It was revealed that the country’s lag behind its neighbors (China, Pakistan) and recognized leaders in this area (USA, Israel) is a motive for formulating the concept of ensuring India’s military superiority based on AI as a force multiplier. It was revealed that the identified problems require a prompt solution based on the concerted joint efforts of the relevant interested parties with the leading role of the government. The theoretical and practical significance of the results obtained is determined by the fact that the readers will be provided with current scientific information about India’s approaches to the designated areas from the standpoint of law and ethics.
