Public welfare, power, and knowledge is determined by ability to organize society, and make benefit from new technology solutions, mainly – digital communication. Therefore, there is a demand for holistic analysis of human resource management and information technology, to know the needs of users, possibilities of information technology and results of their application. The goal of this study – to research application of information technologies in the LR Ministries‘ Personnel Management Departments. The study was conducted using methods of scientific literature analysis and experts evaluation. The study provides an overview of the evaluations of experts from thirteen LR ministries. According to the latter was discovered demand for further technologization of human resource management activities. But the quality is rather guaranteed by matching the needs, reduction of duplication of functions and activities, ease of use, and similar issues. That is mainly determined by balance of restraining and driving forces, increased number of the latter.

Management Regime

These Regulations have been proposed under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 to replace the existing Schedule of Onshore Petroleum Exploration and Production Requirements 1991 (Amended 21 May 2010). The Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) is the agency that administers the regulations on behalf of the Minister and keeps the Minister informed of petroleum or geothermal energy resource activities. A draft was released on 5 April 2014 for public comment. The precise form and language of the proposed Regulations may change after public consultation, but the intent of the regulations will remain the same. The regulations will provide the framework for administration and compliance for petroleum field developments, geothermal energy projects, well construction and data submission and release. Activities are expected to be carried out in accordance with good oilfield practice and be compatible with the optimum long-term recovery of petroleum or geothermal energy. The Resource Management and Administration Regulations (RMA) have moved from a prescriptive type of regime to an objectives-based risk management regime requiring operators to manage their operations ensuring world’s leading practice and a fit-for-purpose design. It is expected that operators will apply the relevant standards appropriate for their activities. It is understood also that technology will change and that standards might be changed to embrace the new technology. It is this factor that makes objectives-based regulation more apt than prescription-based regulation. Another factor is that prescription is unlikely to cover every possible circumstance that might occur. The focus is on a whole-of-life approach to exploration and development, from an initial exploration process, through any well interventions all the way to final decommissioning. This includes requiring titleholders to consider what maintenance and monitoring programs will be in place throughout the life of wells and to be ready for eventual decommissioning. The DMP has a continuous improvement process which involves monitoring developments in regulation worldwide. Published papers on drilling, completion, hydraulic stimulation, cementing and production on both conventional reservoirs and also shale and tight sands have been, and continue to be, researched to ensure that the regulations cover all aspects of petroleum and geothermal resource development.

Farmer’S Perception

There are several constraints to the adoption of technologies and innovations by Australian farmers. Here an attempt has been made to define the major constraints to adoption. These are identified as: the extent to which the farmer finds the new technology complex and difficult to comprehend; how readily observable the outcomes of an adoption are; its financial cost; the farmer's beliefs and opinions towards the technology; the farmer's level of motivation; the farmer's perception of the relevance of the new technology; and the farmer's attitudes towards risk and change. The classical adoption-diffusion model and subsequent modifications are discussed. In particular, issues relating to the participatory action research (PAR) approach are raised and discussed. In addition, methodologies in extension research are briefly discussed and the roles of extension personnel and agricultural scientists in the technology adoption process are examined. The adoption of innovations in natural resource management is discussed and the findings indicate that this is an area of agriculture in which extension practice and research will play an increasingly important role in the future. Recommendations for further research into adoption of technological innovations in resource management and agriculture are made.

Hr Managers

Candidate screening is a very important process in the entire recruitment process. Screening process helps HR’s with initial filtering of candidates and narrow down the received applications from many applications to few. Hiring teams have data pouring in from a variety of sources. In a fully digital HR ecosystem, it is difficult to process and analyze all these disparate data streams. AI can actually help transforming how HR managers view, select, and operate candidate screening. AI for recruiting is the application of artificial intelligence, such as the learning or problem-solving that a computer can do, to the recruitment function. This new technology is designed to streamline or automate some part of the recruiting workflow, especially repetitive, high-volume tasks. The promise of AI for improving quality of hire lies in its ability to using data to standardize the matching between candidates’ experience, knowledge, and skills and the requirements of the job. The benefits using AI are manifold; recruiters don’t have to sift through crowded job markets or endless candidate lists. This makes HR processes quite easy and faster. The research paper is basically focusing on various applications and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of human resource management. Objectives of the paper are mentioned below: • To study the various components of artificial intelligence and its various applications in the field of human resource management. • To understand various implications and impediments of practicing artificial intelligence at different strategic level of any company.

Circuit Function

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

The intestinal microbial flora has risen to be one of the important etiological factors in the development of diseases like colorectal cancer, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, anxiety and Parkinson's. The emergence of the association between bacterial flora and lungs led to the discovery of the gut–lung axis. Dysbiosis of several species of colonic bacteria such as Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and transfer of these bacteria from gut to lungs via lymphatic and systemic circulation are associated with several respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, asthma, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, etc. Current therapies for dysbiosis include use of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics to restore the balance between various species of beneficial bacteria. Various approaches like nanotechnology and microencapsulation have been explored to increase the permeability and viability of probiotics in the body. The need of the day is comprehensive study of mechanisms behind dysbiosis, translocation of microbiota from gut to lung through various channels and new technology for evaluating treatment to correct this dysbiosis which in turn can be used to manage various respiratory diseases. Microfluidics and organ on chip model are emerging technologies that can satisfy these needs. This review gives an overview of colonic commensals in lung pathology and novel systems that help in alleviating symptoms of lung diseases. We have also hypothesized new models to help in understanding bacterial pathways involved in the gut–lung axis as well as act as a futuristic approach in finding treatment of respiratory diseases caused by dysbiosis.
