Az egyes országok, térségek és helyi közösségek napjainkban számos új, komplex kihívással kerülnek szembe egy dinamikusan változó, ugyanakkor gyakran kiszámíthatatlan és bizonytalanságokkal terhelt ...környezetben. Egy képzeletbeli SWOT-analízis minden bizonnyal erosségnek tételezné a közigazgatás hagyományos és megkerülhetetlen funkcióit és adaptációs képességeit, gyengeségnek a merev, az innováció és a megújulás felé gyakran csak nehezen mozdítható, helyenként tole független kényszerpályákkal terhelt belso világát, lehetoségnek a 21. században felgyorsuló digitalizáció, valamint a vele járó mesterséges intelligencia, az automatizmusok és a robotika csatasorba állítását, veszélynek pedig a jól ismert globális folyamatokat, az éghajlatváltozástól kezdve a világjárványokon át a háborús konfliktusokig és geopolitikai változásokig.
Through a unique set of timings, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of a nursing department was conducted with the staff nurses of a large medical center in late 2019 ...and again in 2022. The intent of the 2019 analysis was bifold, to obtain rich input from nursing staff to apprise the 2020 Nursing Strategic Plan and to inform the hospital-wide core councils and the nursing unit councils on focused project work identified as Weaknesses and Threats. When the pandemic hit, work on strategic planning was paused to manage the unparalleled impact that COVID-19 had on the organization. In 2022, nursing leadership realized they had an opportunity to repeat the SWOT analysis, not only to inform the 2023 Nursing Strategic Plan but also to determine whether the perceptions of staff nurses regarding the SWOT in the nursing department had changed postpandemic. A thematic analysis provided the structure to analyze the perceptions of nurses pre- and postpandemic. This article presents our reflections for nurse leaders to consider when addressing the positive (Strengths/Opportunities) and negative (Weaknesses/Threats) perceptions of nurses in a postpandemic health care environment.

ChatGPT is an AI tool that has sparked debates about its potential implications for education. We used the SWOT analysis framework to outline ChatGPT's strengths and weaknesses and to discuss its ...opportunities for and threats to education. The strengths include using a sophisticated natural language model to generate plausible answers, self-improving capability, and providing personalised and real-time responses. As such, ChatGPT can increase access to information, facilitate personalised and complex learning, and decrease teaching workload, thereby making key processes and tasks more efficient. The weaknesses are a lack of deep understanding, difficulty in evaluating the quality of responses, a risk of bias and discrimination, and a lack of higher-order thinking skills. Threats to education include a lack of understanding of the context, threatening academic integrity, perpetuating discrimination in education, democratising plagiarism, and declining high-order cognitive skills. We provide agenda for educational practice and research in times of ChatGPT.
In recent years, the metaverse have captured the general public’s attention. After so many years of development, the Korean entertainment market has become more and more competitive, and SM ...Entertainment, as the leading Korean entertainment company, chose to catch the wave of metaverse and create a unique metaverse marketing model, which has been a great success. The aim of the paper was to explore whether SM’s “metaverse” strategy could be a new model for all entertainment companies. This paper investigated the influential factors based on the 4Is of marketing mix theory and through a SWOT analysis. The paper showed that the importance of interest and Interaction is rising in the entertainment market. It concluded that this marketing model has won because of its uniqueness; therefore, other companies cannot replicate its success. If one company wanted to take its place in the competitive market, it would need to have its own unique marketing model.
Streaming media had been a popular form of entertainment since 2019 due to COVID-19. Netflix, Home Box Office, and other streaming media offer an abundance of media resources to all kinds of ...audiences. Notwithstanding that streaming media had been flourishing, they still had trouble constructing sustainable profitability. Apple TV+, being one of the streaming media corporations, found out a way to achieve sustainable profitability. The platform also benefited from the flourishing of the streaming media industry. In order to promote the sustainable development of the streaming media industry, the article is mainly about Apple TV+ achieving sustainable profitability by adapting short and quality streaming media products and making proper use of the parent Company Apple Inc’s financial support. SWOT analysis will be used to make a further explanation. The advice is offered in the article to expose the revelation of future development for both Apple TV+ and the industry, which is to combine franchises with short series and make use of co-branding to enlarge its media resources. Additionally, the research also reveals the weakness of Apple TV+ that Apple TV+ has difficulty in retaining loyal customers due to the lack of rich and attractive streaming media resources.
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are highly recalcitrant anthropogenic chemicals that are ubiquitously present in the environment and are harmful to humans. Typical ...water and wastewater treatment processes (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration) are proven to be largely ineffective, while adsorption with granular activated carbon (GAC) has been the chief option to capture them from aqueous sources followed by incineration. However, this process is time-consuming, and produces additional solid waste and air pollution. Treatment methods for PFOS and PFOA generally follow two routes: (1) removal from source and reduce the risk; (2) degradation. Emerging technologies focusing on degradation are critically reviewed in this contribution. Various processes such as bioremediation, electrocoagulation, foam fractionation, sonolysis, photocatalysis, mechanochemical, electrochemical degradation, beams of electron and plasma have been developed and studied in the past decade to address PFAS crisis. The underlying mechanisms of these PFAS degradation methods have been categorized. Two main challenges have been identified, namely complexity in large scale operation and the release of toxic byproducts. Based on the literature survey, we have provided a strength-weakness-opportunity-threat (SWOT) analysis and quantitative rating on their efficiency, environmental impact and technology readiness.
