This paper presents the conceptual design and feasibility analysis of X-Guardian NuCore, a novel dry nuclear battery engineered for urban-scale electricity generation or other useful safe and peaceful usages. The proposed system integrates advancements in betavoltaic and thermoelectric conversion technologies, smart shielding, and nuclear material miniaturization to enable safe, maintenance-free operation for over 25 years. Designed to power a city of up to 3 million inhabitants, the X-Guardian NuCore model combines theoretical developments with insights from existing technologies such as RTGs, microreactors, and AI-based safety systems. This paper reviews the state of the art, identifies technological gaps, and proposes a unified vision for future implementation(s). The concept is intended as a foundation for prototyping and potential patent development.
This study investigates how transformational leadership (TL) and organizational culture (OC) drive employee engagement (EE) in this high-turnover context. Using a quantitative approach, we surveyed 126 employees from Indonesian tech startups, measuring TL with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, OC with the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument , and EE with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Results reveal that both TL and OC significantly enhance engagement, with OC showing a stronger standalone effect. Together, (TL and OC) explain highest number of the variance in engagement. This underscores their powerfull effect. This study suggested for the founder adopt TL practices like vision-sharing and mentorship, cultivate cultures of flexibility and psychological safety, andleverage HR tech tools to scale engagement strategies. For researchers, we highlight the need to explore localized leadership models and hybrid work dynamics in Indonesia’s unique startup landscape.
In an increasingly integrated world, business practices evolved to satisfy global needs of diverse and multi-cultural workforce. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives become an essential set of strategies to ensure and promote inclusion and fair work ethics for all employees. This study aim to explores the impact of DEI-based communication on employees’ job performance. We employed the use of Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework to investigate how external factors such as DEI initiatives and workplace communication can stimulate and influence employees’ emotional state and behavior. Data from 522 In-donesian employees were collected via online survey. The findings reveal that DEI-based communication has a positively strong association with employees’ psychological and cognitive reception, resulting in the increase of employees’ job performance. Additionally, organizational inertia has a moderating effect to weakens the impact of DEI-based communication on employees’ psychological safety, while leadership ef-fectiveness has a strong moderating effect to enhance the effect of DEI-based communication on employ-ees’ perceived psychological safety. This study contributes to the understanding of DEI-based communica-tion and its role in improving organizational behavior in Indonesia, where DEI practices are still in their ear-lier stages of adoption.
. In the context of increased instability of the market environment and increasing requirements for international reporting, the need to implement risk-oriented approaches to inventory management at processing enterprises is becoming more urgent. The need for a transition from traditional accounting to integrated inventory management based on IFRS principles, BI analytics and process automation is substantiated. The developed model takes into account internal and external risks, covering aspects of logistics, IT infrastructure, personnel and strategy. SWOT analysis, ABC analysis and visualization of flows based on Power BI became the basis for the implementation of a system aimed at reducing losses and enhancing strategic transparency. The object of the study is the inventory management system of Qarmet LLC Recycling ". The purpose of the work is to develop and test a model of risk-oriented inventory management (ROIMM), integrating IFRS ( IAS 2) tools, ABC analysis, P × I risk assessment and digitalization elements. The methodological base includes methods of comparative analysis, visual modeling, factor classification of risks and strategic interpretation. The scientific novelty lies in the proposal of a structured model of ROUTMZ, which ensures the transition from accounting to a strategically sustainable inventory management system based on risks. The practical significance is manifested in the possibility of adapting the model to the specific conditions of processing enterprises in order to improve the accuracy of management decisions, reduce losses and ensure compliance with international reporting standards. The results of the study include a visualized model, a risk matrix and a SWOT analysis. The conclusion presents recommendations for digitalization and the implementation of automated inventory management systems as a tool for sustainable development.

This research work is designed to expose the various natural conditions in our environment and portray architectural solutions to each and every one of them so as to maintain the functionality and durability of the buildings in our society. At the end of this research work, one will be able to know how to overcome conditions like high rainfall and high temperature, sloping topography and all other natural conditions using simple design and architectural techniques. Natural conditions may be referred to as physical and biological aspects of the environment that exists independently of human influence. These includes: soil, topography, vegetation, rainfall, wildlife, humidity, temperature etc. These conditions have caused an early deterioration or damage in most buildings in our society, hence depreciating the value of such buildings and putting the lives of the inhabitants in danger.
The East African Community (EAC) faces various logistical challenges that affect the efficiency and security of its regional trade and transportation systems. One such initiative aimed at overcoming these challenges is the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS), a cutting-edge technological platform designed to enhance cargo security, streamline logistics, and reduce inefficiencies within the region. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of RECTS, evaluating its design, implementation, benefits, and challenges.
