Barbarians at the British Museum: Anglo-Saxon Art, Race and Religion

A critical historiographical overview of art historical approaches to early medieval material culture, with a focus on the British Museum collections and their connections to religion

Perancangan Dan Implementasi Aplikasi Penunjang Dalam Melakukan Audit (Studi Kasus Uin Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta)

Nowadays, various government agencies/institutions have realized how important the role of information technology is in getting data and information from around the world quickly, precisely and accurately.  One of them is in supporting and assisting in the efforts of Auditing the Management of State Financial Responsibilities.  The State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah carries out its routine activities, namely conducting State Finance Inspections, Planning and Accountability (Audits) starting from SPI (Intern Auditor) to the Inspectorate General (Itjend) Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) and the Financial Supervisory Agency (BPK), here the researchers provide solutions that is, one way is to use a Supporting Application in conducting an audit. The purpose of this application is to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency in the Audit of State Finance Accountability Management because this is one of the characteristics of Good Government / Good Cooperate Government.  The results of this study: (1) can facilitate the activities of the Audit and Management and Accountability of State Finances;  (2) preventing the occurrence of fraudulent KKN (Corruption practices;  (3) the existing funds are also expected to improve student services at UIN Jakarta

Handling Software Faults with Redundancy

Software engineering methods can increase the dependability of software systems, and yet some faults escape even the most rigorous and methodical development process. Therefore, to guarantee high levels of reliability in the presence of faults, software systems must be designed to reduce the impact of the failures caused by such faults, for example by deploying techniques to detect and compensate for erroneous runtime conditions. In this chapter, we focus on software techniques to handle software faults, and we survey several such techniques developed in the area of fault tolerance and more recently in the area of autonomic computing. Since practically all techniques exploit some form of redundancy, we consider the impact of redundancy on the software architecture, and we propose a taxonomy centered on the nature and use of redundancy in software systems. The primary utility of this taxonomy is to classify and compare techniques to handle software faults

New Generation Leadership: Looking After Tomorrow

This chapter looks forward, asking how to envision a social work we need for the twenty-first century. It challenges easy notions of succession, mentoring and leadership preparation by proposing a tension between innovation and simply being guided by what has gone before. What types of leaders do we need to navigate complex futures? Will their skill sets and competencies need to be different, and how do we prepare them for next generation leadership? How can today’s leaders exercise generosity of spirit in facilitating this transition, creating space and crafting enabling environments that foster such development? The authors argue for ethical leadership in the profession that guides new ways of thinking about and enabling a distinctive approach for new generation leadership in social work education, practice and research

Real-Time Capacity Management and Patient Flow Optimization in Hospitals Using AI Methods

Hospital systems are under constant pressure to provide quality care despite limited resources. However, traditional capacity management in hospitals is often not effective enough. One reason for this is the variability and uncertainty in the healthcare field that has to be managed. Another reason is the observation that hospitals are open loop systems, meaning they do not use feedback to determine if their output has achieved the desired goal of input. They do not observe the output of their processes controlled by them and use this information to take action. In hospital systems, there are few efficient planning systems or decision support systems to help administrators take decisions. This is different in other industries, where complex planning systems with the help of Artificial Intelligence, or AI as it is referred to, are often being used. This research chapter analyses the issues and possibilities for hospitals to incorporate AI into their capacity management and become intelligent systems in which operations and processes are regulated by feedback (closed loop system) and, more specifically, discusses the recent research of the authors on this topic, where Artificial Intelligent (Multi-Agent System) methods in combination with real-time coordination were described and implemented in the Aravind Eye Hospital (AEH) in India
