Analysis of Industry 4.0 Readiness among Regional Governments in Indonesia: The Worth of Digital Wisdom and Values in Public Services by Wawan Sobari, Ibnu Asqori Pohan, Nurizal Dwi Priandani

“…Assessments of e-service in three regional governments in Greater Malang reveal flaws in personnel readiness, user preparedness, flexibility in e-service procedures and requirements, integration among applications, lack of socialization, weak leader support and commitment, low budgets, and infrastructure constraints. Guided by these discoveries, unlike with theory, this study proclaims the importance of digital wisdom involving empathy, simplicity, compromise, creativity, and humility in public service. …”

Collaborative Trajectory Planning and Resource Allocation for Multi-Target Tracking in Airborne Radar Networks under Spectral Coexistence by Chenguang Shi, Jing Dong, Sana Salous, Ziwei Wang, Jianjiang Zhou

“…The key mechanism of the proposed strategy is to jointly design the flight trajectory and optimize the radar assignment, transmit power, dwell time, and signal effective bandwidth allocation of multiple airborne radars, aiming to enhance the MTT performance under the constraints of the tolerable threshold of interference energy, platform kinematic limitations, and given illumination resource budgets. The closed-form expression for the Bayesian Cramér–Rao lower bound (BCRLB) under the consideration of spectral coexistence is calculated and adopted as the optimization criterion of the CTPRA strategy. …”

Effects of urban environmental attributes on graduate job preferences in Northeastern China: an application of conjoint analysis and big data methods by Jiahao Zhang, Hiroatsu Fukuda, Xindong Wei, Li Zhang, Jinming Jiang

“…As urban environments and culture have been shown to affect a graduates’ eventual carrier choice and trajectory, governments often seek to change their local environments to attract graduates who can help efficiently allocate and utilize a city’s often-limited environmental budgets. In this study, the conjoint analysis (CA) method was employed to explore the effects of four environmental attributes (water pollution, air pollution, littering, and green area) on graduate employment preferences in northeast China. …”

Clouds and Seasonality on Terrestrial Planets with Varying Rotation Rates by Daniel A. Williams, Xuan Ji, Paul Corlies, Juan M. Lora

“…Clouds reduce the surface temperature and total precipitation relative to simulations without clouds at all rotation rates, and reduce the dependence of total precipitation on rotation rate, causing nonmonotonic behavior and a local maximum around 1/8Ω _E ; these effects are related to the impacts of clouds on the net atmospheric and surface radiative energy budgets. Clouds also affect the seasonality. The influence of clouds on the extent of the winter Hadley cell and the intertropical convergence zone is relatively minor at slow rotation rates (<1/8Ω _E ), but becomes more pronounced at intermediate rotation rates, where clouds decrease their maximum latitudes. …”
