Article Abstract

Background: Digital transformation (DT) involves integrating digital technologies into organizations to improve productivity, efficiency, and quality. Investing in the workforce's skillsets is essential for successful DT. However, it remains unclear which skillsets are essential.

Objectives: This study aims to identify and define the essential skillsets needed for exploiting the full potential of DT, and to consolidate the identified skills into a comprehensive framework of DT skills.

Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA approach for selecting studies. This led to the selection of 36 articles that were examined using thematic analysis for identifying and consolidating skills into a framework.

Results: The Digital Transformation Skills Framework (DTSF) was developed, which contains six overarching skillsets and 44 underlying skills. The framework covers key skillsets in the areas of digital work, entrepreneurship, evidence-based work, collaboration, communication, and adaptation.

Conclusion And Discussion: The DTSF offers a comprehensive understanding of essential skills for today's evolving organizations, addressing a critical gap in existing literature. It is valuable for organizations and HR professionals, serving as a foundation for re- and upskilling initiatives. Ongoing research should expand the framework to include domain-specific DT skills and emerging digital technologies.

Over three decades, statistical parametric mapping has transformed neuroimaging from descriptive mapping to causal inference, placing generative models at the core of causal explanations for brain function. It inspired to a large degree The Virtual Brain, which builds subject-specific digital twins from multimodal data, enabling brain simulations and exploration. Both frameworks converge at parameter estimation, where model and data meet, providing the mathematical manifestation of cause-effect in pathophysiology.

In modern micro/nano fabrication, 3D printing technology drives industry transformation. However, existing technologies face bottlenecks in improving process efficiency and precision, while also struggling to achieve accurate fabrication of composite 3D microstructures. This study proposes a microlens self-focusing printing technique that integrates digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing with an optical microscope platform.

The rapid advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies has significantly expanded their potential applications such as sensors and detector technology. In this study, the gamma-ray shielding performance of ulexite-doped composite resins fabricated via Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing was experimentally investigated to evaluate radiation attenuation capacity. Composite resins containing different ulexite loadings (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%) were exposed to gamma rays at energies of 356, 662, 1173, and 1333 keV to evaluate their attenuation characteristics.

At present, significant progress has been made in the research of image encryption, but there are still some issues that need to be explored in key space, password generation and security verification, encryption schemes, and other aspects. Aiming at this, a digital image encryption algorithm was developed in this paper. This algorithm integrates six-dimensional cellular neural network with generalized chaos to generate pseudo-random numbers to generate the plaintext-related ciphers.

The German Federal Ex Situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops (IPK) harbours over 3000 pea plant genetic resources (PGRs), backed up by corresponding information across 16 key agronomic and economical traits. The unbalanced structure and inconsistent format of this historical data has precluded effective leverage of genebank accessions, despite the opportunities contained in its genetic diversity. Therefore, a three-step statistical approach founded in linear mixed models was implemented to enable a rigorous and targeted data curation.
