Financial pressures in our Orthodox Churches are very real and often cause great worry and anxiety. As a result, we, both clergy and laity, can lose our focus and get our priorities out of order. Using the terms “Prophet” and “Profit” to symbolize two different mentalities (not suggesting Churches are trying to make a profit in the conventional sense) join Michael as he discusses what our priorities should be and what results proper focus on them would yield.

This paper reports on the educational aspects of an information systems work-integrated learning (WIL) capstone project for an organization which operates to alleviate homelessness in the Australian non-profit sector. The methodology adopted for the study is Action Design Research (ADR) which draws on action research and design research as a means for framing a project's progress. Reflective insights by the project stakeholders, namely, students, academics, and the non-profit client, reveal a curriculum at work through internal features of the organization; personal features of the participants and features of the external environment. Preliminary findings suggest that students in a WIL project for a non-profit are highly engaged, especially when they become aware of the project’s social value. As well, the improvement of professional skills and emotional intelligence by students is more likely in real-life practice settings than in other less authentic WIL activities, equipping graduates for the workforce with both strong disciplinary and generic skills. Win-win-win synergies through project collaboration represent worthwhile outcomes to education, industry and research.

CYBERJAYA: Pure play enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider SMRT Holdings Bhd (SHB) posted a net profit of RM7.04 million for the first quarter (Q1) ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 0.82% from RM6.99 million posted in the same quarter last year.

The increase was due to a higher-margin revenue mix, realisations of economies of scale from the higher number of managed sites and reduced administrative expenses.

Revenue for Q1 decreased 10.4% to RM16.5 million compared to RM18.42 million posted in Q1 last year.

SHB group managing director Maha Palan said the company’s key markets in Malaysia and Indonesia continue to show growth trajectory.

“Our previous strategic entry into the Philippines’ financial services sector has laid the foundation for further growth, and we are now actively exploring new opportunities in the country,“ he said.

On the venture into new verticals, Palan said the group’s IoT deployments for the water utility sector are delivering positive results and will tangibly contribute to results in this financial year.

Meanwhile, SHB has appointed Au Wong Lian (Kit) as its new group CEO, effective November 8, 2024.

Au brings over 30 years of experience in the technology and telecommunications industries, during which he has held leadership positions in various leading companies, including TimeDotCom and Microsoft Malaysia.

“Given Au’s extensive experience, deep domain expertise, and proven track record in driving growth and profitability, I am confident he will help lead SHB to the next level.

“More importantly, there is a strong alignment in corporate culture and core values between Au and our team, ensuring a smooth integration that will support our shared vision of leading the provision of IoT services across the Asean region,“ Palan said.

The data repository invites community input on the future of data archiving at upcoming membership meeting

Dryad, a repository for data underlying the international scientific and medical literature, works with a variety of journals, societies and publishers to archive research data at the time of publication.  The project began in 2009 and has published more than 3,000 data packages.  In 2012, Dryad incorporated as a nonprofit organization with the mission to make scientific and medical research data permanently available to all researchers and educators free-of-charge without barriers to reuse.
For the past four years, Dryad has worked with its stakeholders to develop a sustainability plan to realize this vision.  Central to the sustainability plan is a one-time submission fee that will offset the actual costs of preserving data indefinitely. A variety of pricing plans are available for journals and other organizations such societies, funders and libraries to purchase discounted submission fees on behalf of their researchers.  For data not covered by a pricing plan, the researcher will be asked to pay upon submission, with waivers provided to researchers from World Bank low and lower-middle income economies. Submission fees will apply to all new submissions starting September 2013.  Dryad will also be supported in part by its membership, by grants for research and innovation, and by donors. Membership in Dryad is open to any organization that supports research and education.  Dryad is pleased to include Pensoft Publishers among its Charter Members.
The Dryad Membership meeting, to be held in Oxford, UK on Friday, May 24 is open to members, prospective members, researchers and other interested parties.  Attendees will hear about recent and upcoming developments in the repository and the nonprofit organization. In addition, there will be an Emerging Issues Forum with presentations from the community about future directions for Dryad, its members, and partner journals, including models for the technical and peer review of data, ideas for promoting the adoption of data citations, measuring data reuse, funder perspectives on the use of research grants for data management costs and the relevance of larger data networks.  
Dryad’s Membership Meeting is part of a series of free public events in Oxford spotlighting trends in scholarly communication with an emphasis on research data, including a Symposium on the Now and Future of Data Publication on Wednesday, May 22nd and an ORCID Outreach Meeting with a special joint Dryad-ORCID Symposium on Research Attribution on Thursday, May 23rd. Registration for these events closes on May 13th. Remote attendance will be available for those unable to attend in person.

For more information about submitting data, becoming a member or the sustainability plan, please visit http://datadryad.org. The website also offers an Ideas Forum where people can make their voice heard by suggesting and voting for new features and offering comments.
