Abstract :

For our premier issue of our International Journal of Applied Technology and Leadership we are fortunate to have a diverse collection of articles that typify the kind of quality and content we will strive to provide in this journal. The first article for this issue is “Time Factors in Risk Management Decisions”, co-authored by Paul Cheney and our own Dr. Ian McAndrew. This insightful article delves into the risks brought on by the world-wide pandemic and addresses the consequences and the “vulnerability created by the rapid shift of society to working from home”. Our next article, by Dr. Jaflah Hassan Al-Ammary, and Dr. Saleh. “Assessing the Readiness for Cloud Computing in Higher Education Institutions in the Kingdom Of Bahrain: Towards an Education Cloud Computing Strategy“, provides an in depth look at nine universities in Bahrain and how adopting cloud computing is building the digital educational environment and offering students new learning choices. The article by Francis Amagoh & Przemyslaw Stach on the “Attitudes of Undergraduate Students in Poland and Kazakhstan toward Clinical Trials: A Comparative Study” undertakes an examination of the university student attitudes toward clinical trials in Pakistan and Kazakhstan over a span of fifty years. Next we examine the “Human Factors Considerations in Satellite Operations Human-Computer Interaction Technologies: A Review of Current Applications and Theory. This paper by David G. Heinrich, Ian McAndrew, and Jeremy Pretty analyzes, “current literature on automation, autonomy, complacency, shift work, and shift patterns in the remote operations aerospace sector” and the impact that lessons learned could have in mitigating human error in remote operations. We conclude or first issue with a study ‘to determine the potential for impairment when employees in safety-sensitive functions’ in Workplace Safety Implications Associated with Cannabidiol (CBD) in the Workplace by Drew Hinton and Tyler Asher. This is the first in series of papers dealing with the increasing use of cannabidiol (CBD) products.
