OPTIMIZING DATA INTEROPERABILITY IN AGILE ORGANIZATIONS: INTEGRATING NONAKA’S...ijdmsjournal
Agile methodologies have transformed organizational management by prioritizing team autonomy and
iterative learning cycles. However, these approaches often lack structured mechanisms for knowledge
retention and interoperability, leading to fragmented decision-making, information silos, and strategic
misalignment. This study proposes an alternative approach to knowledge management in Agile
environments by integrating Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi’s theory of knowledge creation—
specifically the concept of Ba, a shared space where knowledge is created and validated—with Jürgen
Habermas’s Theory of Communicative Action, which emphasizes deliberation as the foundation for trust
and legitimacy in organizational decision-making. To operationalize this integration, we propose the
Deliberative Permeability Metric (DPM), a diagnostic tool that evaluates knowledge flow and the
deliberative foundation of organizational decisions, and the Communicative Rationality Cycle (CRC), a
structured feedback model that extends the DPM, ensuring long-term adaptability and data governance.
This model was applied at Livelo, a Brazilian loyalty program company, demonstrating that structured
deliberation improves operational efficiency and reduces knowledge fragmentation. The findings indicate
that institutionalizing deliberative processes strengthens knowledge interoperability, fostering a more
resilient and adaptive approach to data governance in complex organizations.
The main purpose of the current study was to formulate an empirical expression for predicting the axial compression capacity and axial strain of concrete-filled plastic tubular specimens (CFPT) using the artificial neural network (ANN). A total of seventy-two experimental test data of CFPT and unconfined concrete were used for training, testing, and validating the ANN models. The ANN axial strength and strain predictions were compared with the experimental data and predictions from several existing strength models for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete. Five statistical indices were used to determine the performance of all models considered in the present study. The statistical evaluation showed that the ANN model was more effective and precise than the other models in predicting the compressive strength, with 2.8% AA error, and strain at peak stress, with 6.58% AA error, of concrete-filled plastic tube tested under axial compression load. Similar lower values were obtained for the NRMSE index.
Citizen Observatories (COs) are innovative mechanisms to engage citizens in monitoring and addressing environmental and societal challenges. However, their effectiveness hinges on seamless data crowdsourcing, high-quality data analysis, and impactful data-driven decision-making. This paper validates how the GREENGAGE project enables and encourages the accomplishment of the Citizen Science Loop within COs, showcasing how its digital infrastructure and knowledge assets facilitate the co-production of thematic co-explorations. By systematically structuring the Citizen Science Loop—from problem identification to impact assessment—we demonstrate how GREENGAGE enhances data collection, analysis, and evidence exposition. For that, this paper illustrates how the GREENGAGE approach and associated technologies have been successfully applied at a university campus to conduct an air quality and public space suitability thematic co-exploration.

In this paper, the cost and weight of the reinforcement concrete cantilever retaining wall are optimized using Gases Brownian Motion Optimization Algorithm (GBMOA) which is based on the gas molecules motion. To investigate the optimization capability of the GBMOA, two objective functions of cost and weight are considered and verification is made using two available solutions for retaining wall design. Furthermore, the effect of wall geometries of retaining walls on their cost and weight is investigated using four different T-shape walls. Besides, sensitivity analyses for effects of backfill slope, stem height, surcharge, and backfill unit weight are carried out and of soil. Moreover, Rankine and Coulomb methods for lateral earth pressure calculation are used and results are compared. The GBMOA predictions are compared with those available in the literature. It has been shown that the use of GBMOA results in reducing significantly the cost and weight of retaining walls. In addition, the Coulomb lateral earth pressure can reduce the cost and weight of retaining walls.

This research is oriented towards exploring mode-wise corridor level travel-time estimation using Machine learning techniques such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Authors have considered buses (equipped with in-vehicle GPS) as the probe vehicles and attempted to calculate the travel-time of other modes such as cars along a stretch of arterial roads. The proposed study considers various influential factors that affect travel time such as road geometry, traffic parameters, location information from the GPS receiver and other spatiotemporal parameters that affect the travel-time. The study used a segment modeling method for segregating the data based on identified bus stop locations. A k-fold cross-validation technique was used for determining the optimum model parameters to be used in the ANN and SVM models. The developed models were tested on a study corridor of 59.48 km stretch in Mumbai, India. The data for this study were collected for a period of five days (Monday-Friday) during the morning peak period (from 8.00 am to 11.00 am). Evaluation scores such as MAPE (mean absolute percentage error), MAD (mean absolute deviation) and RMSE (root mean square error) were used for testing the performance of the models. The MAPE values for ANN and SVM models are 11.65 and 10.78 respectively. The developed model is further statistically validated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results obtained from these tests proved that the proposed model is statistically valid.

Load forecasting
The load on their systems should be estimated in advance. This
estimation in advance is known as load forecasting. Load
forecasting based on the previous experience without any
historical data.
10. Need for load forecasting
• To meet out the future demand.
• Long term forecasting is required for preparing maintenance schedule of
the generating units, planning future expansion of the system.
• For day to day operation, short term load forecasting
demand and for maintaining the required spinning reserve.
• Very short term load forecasting is used for generation and distribution.
That is, economic generation scheduling and load dispatching.
• Medium term load forecasting is needed for predicted monsoon acting
and hydro availability and allocating.
13. Governor Control
Governor is a device used to control the speed of a prime mover.
A governor protects the prime mover from overspeed and keeps
the prime mover speed at or near the desired revolutions per minute.
When a prime mover drives an alternator supplying electrical power
at a given frequency, a governor must be used to hold the prime
mover at a speed that will yield this frequency.
An unloaded diesel engine will fly to pieces unless it is under
governor control.
