This paper explored how social media characteristics affected users’ attitudes toward the utilization of Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) e-project management located in Jordan. Data were collected through online survey, involving 456 GAM e users, and analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modelling. Results showed user attitudes and social media characteristics (reliability, security and website design) as direct significant antecedents of GAM e-project management usage. Furthermore, three direct significant relationships were shown between social media characteristics and GAM e-project management usage. Results also demonstrated three direct significant relationships between social media characteristics and users’ attitudes. Next, results showed one direct significant relationship between users’ attitudes and GAM e-project management usage. Three indirect significant relationships between social media characteristics and GAM e-project management usage were detected via mediation of users’ attitudes. This study recommended (among others) paying attention to other social media characteristics that have impact on GAM e-project management usage, namely, responsiveness, privacy, and site content.

Public document legalization services in Indonesia are currently not carried out electronically, with the exception of electronic application registration (e-form) and electronic validation of apostille certificates (e-register). To adapt to the development and needs of a digital society or digital transformation, apostille legalization services must be carried out electronically (e-apostille). Based on legal provisions regarding the obligation of Electronic System Providers to organize electronic systems in a reliable, secure, and well-functioning manner, the electronic system created for the e-apostille service must be guaranteed to be reliable and secure in accordance with statutory regulations about the reliability and security of electronic systems in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is a quantitative and qualitative approach. This study uses a purposive sampling technique because sampling is carried out with certain considerations or criteria that must be met. The data collection method in this study was carried out by distributing questionnaires online through social media. In measuring respondents' answers, filling out the questionnaire was measured using a Likert scale. Statements are given a score of 1 for strongly disagree answers, a score of 2 for disagree answers, a score of 3 for doubtful answers, a score of 4 for agreed answers, and a score of 5 for strongly agreed answers. The data collection technique in this study uses a questionnaire by providing several written statements addressed to respondents, which will then be answered. Structural equation modelling is often called Partial Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 3.0. Using the normative juridical method, the results of this study emphasize the legal basis for the implementation of e-apostille legalization services. In addition, it also regulates the application of the obligation to use electronic system security reliability certificates through an information security management system by legal theories, the principle of legal certainty and the principle of benefit, as well as the aim of providing a sense of security in the use of information technology. This research concludes that developing regulations governing reliable and secure electronic apostille is necessary for certainty and convenience in Indonesia. Electronic apostille regulation has a positive and significant relationship with Electronic System Security, Digital signatures have a positive and significant relationship with Electronic System Security.

This study aims to evaluate an intervention that moved beyond the dimensions of digital information application (DTMs) in science education in higher education. Using an integrated methodology, there is a large and growing body of evidence for the prominence placed on both perceived experience and quality tutors in science courses in educating institutions with broader ambivalence toward limited Digital Literacy. The model and Hypotheses were tested with data collected from 158 participants. Our results suggest that user perceptions about the value of DIE may be contingent on several factors beyond any intrinsic greater experience in learning and teaching Science. The quality of tutors may lead to a greater perceived usefulness regarding the technology. Also, the level of communication flow can affect how much science students are willing to use technology. Academic institutions will have to reassess the utility of digital information technology as an instrument for improving science education. This research focused on educational contexts where DIE profoundly influences teaching and learning science. Further research could focus on other educational fields, math, or language to broaden the understanding of technology's role in diverse educational contexts.

The hybrid vehicle routing problem is an extension of the green vehicle routing problem where vehicles can use different fuels. In this research, a bi-objective hybrid vehicles routing problem is presented and solved bu considering alternative paths, various lengths and reliabilities. The first objective function minimizes overall system costs and fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, whereas the second objective function maximizes the reliability of the entire system with alternative paths and several reliabilites. The proposed model is formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programming and a bi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) algorithm along with the e-constraint method is used as solution strategy. The implementation of the proposed method is presented using some numerical instances.

The medical industry incorporates technology and breaks different types of equipment into three various categories determined according to the technologies and their usage. The first category, which is the focus of this article, consists of devices that are directly linked to the life of the patients, for example a ventilator. The purpose of this study is to develop a new reliability technique, based on the Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) and Petri Net, for Category 1 equipment. The RBD, focuses on showing how the failure of different parts could affect the sub-systems of the equipment and how those failures could cause an overall system failure. The second method, Petri Net, is a tool that is used to analyze various types of information processing systems. Combining these two methods will allow the user to determine the reliability of the different systems and subsystems with various pieces of equipment. The knowledge gained by this analysis will be used to determine the likelihood that the failure of specific subsystems will cause an overall system failure. The overall anticipated result is to thoroughly develop this new methodology. The complete process that is used to finish the calculation process for the subsystems will be shown, in addition to the completion of the final Reliability Block Diagram.

An effective operations of a projection spot welding (PSW) machine is closely related to the effec-tiveness of the maintenance. Timely maintenance can prevent failures and improve reliability and maintainability of the machine. Therefore, establishing the maintenance frequency for the welding machine is one of the most important tasks for plant engineers. In this regard, reliability analysis of the welding machine can be used to establish preventive maintenance intervals (PMI) and to identify the critical parts of the system. In this reliability and maintainability study, analysis of the PSW machine was carried out. The failure and repair data for analysis were obtained from automobile manufacturing company located in Uzbekistan. The machine was divided into three main sub-systems: electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic. Different distributions functions for all sub-systems was tested and their parameters tabulated. Based on estimated parameters of the analyzed distribu-tions, PMI for the PSW machines sub-systems at different reliability levels was calculated. Finally, preventive measures for enhancing the reliability of the PSW machine sub-systems are suggested.

The objective of the present study is to bring out a multidimensional metric to measure service quality delivered by employees serving in Indian small & medium manufacturing enterprises. 144 executives working at top/middle level in different small-medium manufacturing units of north India responded to a questionnaire survey. The respondents were asked to assess service quality being delivered by the shop-floor workers serving their respective units on the 1-5 perception scale. Application of exploratory factor analysis resulted in an interpretable latent structure comprising of 5 determinants and 22 indicator items. Confirmatory factor analysis condensed this scale to bring out the final scale 4 determinants viz., Dependability, Agility, Professionalism and Understanding with 13 indicator statements. This scale thus emerged is tested for validity and reliability using established tools. The study provides a framework to SME managers to assess services of their workforce. It also contributes to researchers to build up more such metrics for similar situations in other sectors so that more concrete generalizations can be made.
