Item Restricted The Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Business Operations(La Trobe University, 2022) Alqahtani, Raed Ayidh; Soh, BenThis research investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in business operations. AI has become increasingly prevalent in various industries due to its potential to enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and drive innovation. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how AI integration has been implemented in the business context. Therefore, this study utilizes a systematic review approach, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology, to examine and synthesize existing literature on AI integration in business operations. The primary outcomes of this research will provide insights into the current state of AI integration in businesses, identify common challenges and benefits, and highlight potential areas for future research. This research contributes to the understanding of the impact of AI on business operations, paving the way for the effective and successful implementation of AI in organizations.25 0Item Restricted Integration Structures and Language: Exploring Syrian Refugees' Experiences in the UK.(University of Reading, 2024-09) Alshehri, Khaled; Capstick, TonyThis study explores the integration experiences of Syrian refugees in the UK, using a qualitative approach informed by Historical Discourse Analysis (HDA). The researcher undertook interviews with five Syrian refugees, to reveal the influence of language use and the five Phillimore (2021) elements on their integration. The analysis examines how refugees discursively construct their integration experiences through their use of language and social interactions. The key findings demonstrate that language proficiency is crucial for accessing services and forming social connections, while integration is significantly hindered by financial constraints and limited support. In particular, the refugees expressed frustration with systemic barriers and highlighted the role of proactive engagement in language learning and educational support. The study reveals that, despite facing significant challenges, those refugees who actively seek language improvement and structured support tend to achieve better integration outcomes. This research underscores the need for enhanced support and holistic assistance to address the barriers faced by refugees and facilitate their successful adaptation to their new communities.9 0Item Restricted What are the barriers to the early integration of paediatric palliative care? A systematised review(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-12-03) Aljardahi, Rakan; Mcfeely, ClareBackground: Children with serious illnesses, such as cancers or congenital anomalies, require special care that alleviates the disease burden. Paediatric palliative care (PPC) is comprehensive, interdisciplinary care for patients and their families that begins once a life-threatening disease has been diagnosed. PPC’s early integration with curative treatments has been proven to relieve suffering and enhance both patients’ and families’ quality of life. Nonetheless, few paediatric patients access and receive these services. Aim: To identify and synthesise the barriers to PPC’s early integration. Methods: This systematised review is based on PRISMA guidelines. The Medline, Embase, PsychInfo and CINAHL databases were searched using controlled and non-controlled keywords and a variety of research strategies. This search was limited to peer-reviewed studies published in English between 2018 and 2023. Based on the inclusion criteria, Covidence software was used to screen, extract and assess the retrieved studies, which were evaluated using the CASP and MMAT checklists. Findings were synthesised using narrative synthesis with inductive thematic analysis. Results: Eight studies of medium to high quality met the inclusion criteria. Three main themes were identified: limited resources, the lack of a standardised referral process and fears associated with palliative care. Conclusion: Reflecting the insufficient attention the speciality receives, several modifiable barriers impede paediatric patients from accessing the early benefits of palliative care services. PPC requires financial support, community awareness and a clear referral process. Policymakers play an important role in supporting PPC, and researchers must work to explore policymakers’ perspectives on these barriers and find facilitators.35 0Item Restricted Passion for New Beginnings - A Critical Reflection(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-11-08) Alraddadi, Raghad; Duncan, DonThis reflective essay discusses the creation of a documentary titled "Passion for New Beginnings," which examines the integration experiences of three Sudanese immigrants in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Developed alongside two classmates for a dissertation project, the film aims to highlight the resilience, success, and societal contributions of these individuals amid new cultural challenges. This essay, an individual work by myself, begins with an overview of the political conflicts in Sudan that have compelled many citizens to seek asylum abroad, particularly focusing on the United Kingdom. I discuss the UK's challenges in managing an increasing number of asylum seekers and critique the delays in asylum processing. The essay explores the choice of documentary filmmaking, emphasizing its storytelling power and the use of the participatory mode for authenticity. I detail the production process, including location selection, character portrayal, technical aspects, and post-production choices. The essay highlights the challenges encountered during production and the practical insights gained. The documentary aims not only to present the immigrant experience to the UK audience but also to humanize the stories of asylum seekers, illustrating their efforts to integrate and contribute to their new society. I conclude the essay by expressing the intention to propose the documentary to the Al Jazeera Network, considering its potential impact and wide-reaching audience.32 0Item Restricted An investigation of AI in talent management in luxury hospitality in the UK (United Kingdom)(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-09-29) Alshalah, Zahra; Marinakou, EvangeliaAn investigation has been conducted into the implementation of artificial intelligence in the luxury hospitality sector of the United Kingdom. Digitalization is influencing the business operations of the hospitality sector from a variety of perspectives, including talent management. Managing talent is critical to the success of business operations in the luxury tourism sector, since it is a fundamental component of providing a better level of service to customers. There is no doubt that the hospitality industry is one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Hoteliers have been assisted greatly by artificial intelligence in managing their talent in recent years. Yet most human resources managers in luxury hotels in the United Kingdom are unaware of the existence of this technology, which is the reason for their slow growth. The purpose of this specified dissertation paper is to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion regarding the various challenges that various HR managers are undergoing while implementing AI technology within the hospitality industry in the UK. As well as the variety of approaches through which these challenges can be mitigated, this article discusses various ways through which all of these challenges can be mitigated. Artificial intelligence has been found to be able to facilitate the recruitment process. By doing so, Human Resources professionals have been able to reduce their workload. Additionally, it is used to train employees, make cognitive decisions, and select resumes for employment.131 0Item Restricted Exploring AI Technologies In project Management: The Rise of Automated Leadership(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-09-04) Alshamrani, Abdullah; Pagano, RosaneThe paper examines the changing environment of project management in the age of fast technological breakthroughs, focusing on the revolutionary impact of AI technology and robotic leadership. The study is driven by the urgent need to comprehend the integration of AI in project management practises and its consequences for decision-making, resource allocation, risk assessment, and overall project success. The research builds on a thorough analysis of the existing literature on automated leadership, artificial intelligence, and project management. In light of this, the study's five primary goals are as follows: assess the current level of AI adoption in project management; examine the effect of AI- enabled decision-making on project outcomes; look into the efficacy of automated resource allocation; investigate the role of AI in project risk assessment; and make suggestions for the incorporation of automated leadership. The study takes a quantitative approach, collecting data using well-designed questionnaires and analysing it statistically with the help of SPSS. To investigate the connections between AI and automated leadership, we performed evaluations of reliability, correlation, and regression. The results prove that AI technologies are crucial for project management. Affirming H1, we find that "Use of Artificial intelligence" greatly affects "Project success in project management." The research shows that AI technologies have progressed from simple aids to essential resources for contemporary project management. In contrast, the nuanced view presented by Hypothesis 2, which suggests the impact of "Automated leadership," becomes clear. There is a delicate balance between human-guided leadership and computerised directions, and although automated leadership plays a part, its influence is very limited. The third hypothesis, that "Use of Artificial intelligence" is strongly correlated with "Automated leadership," is supported by statistically significant evidence from the correlation study. It exemplifies how AI technology and automated leadership in project management are complementary rather than competitive. The ramifications go far and wide, touching on the work of professionals, politicians, educators, and researchers to promote ethical AI adoption and lifelong education in the ever- changing field of project management.46 0
