Generation Zs Willingness to Accept International Assignments After Covid-19 --A Quantitative Study among British, Chinese and Indian Students
Authors: Ye Chenxi(Phyllis)
Published: November 2023

Influenced by COVID-19 and many other factors, multinational companies worldwide are facing the expatriation dilemma and a shrinking talent pool. This study investigates Generation Zs willingness to take an international assignment and how international exposure, global mindset, and the pandemic impact their attitudes towards such jobs. By analysing online self-administrated survey data from 216 respondents, 71 from the UK, 73 from China, and 72 from India, results show that Gen Z generally has an interest in international assignments. Their willingness is positively affected by two main factors, international exposure and global mindset. However, Covid-19 does not significantly influence Gen Zs intention to work aboard. Although Gen Z from different countries attitudes regarding international assignments tends to be similar, social philosophy, norms, and values that lie in the cultural background still impact their actual decision. Therefore, companies could consider selecting more Gen Z for positions in the host country, but they should make sure the assignment length meets their preferences, provide adequate compensation and supports, and motivate them according to cultural backgrounds.

Research on Anchoring Effect
Authors: Wang Yaoying
Published: November 2023

A psychological phenomena is the anchoring effect. It alludes to the idea of a persons judgment or choice being influenced by an otherwise unrelated reference point or anchor. Once the anchors value is determined in numerical anchoring, the persons following arguments, estimates, etc., may differ from what they would have been without the anchor. Traditional economics holds that people make rational decisions and are not distracted by meaningless numbers. The anchoring effect discovered by Daniel-Kahneman-and-Amos-Tversky is a very typical psychological bias, and it is a rejection of the assumption of a rational person. The anchoring effect refers to the fact that when people need to evaluate an event, they will use some specific value as an initial reference value, and this initial reference value is like an anchor that restricts the evaluation result.
The Optimization of the Path to Energy Transformation in Areas of Weak New Energy Resources under the Double Carbon Background ---Taking Anhui Province of China as an Example
Authors: Li Yuge
Published: November 2023

Double Carbon is the abbreviation for emission peak and carbon neutrality. In September 2020, China proposed to strive to achieve an "emission peak" by 2030 and "carbon neutrality" by 2060. In this context, the process of energy transformation and new energy substitution is accelerating. And those areas with weak new energy resources urgently need to solve the transformation problems caused by limited local resources. Taking Anhui Province of China as an example, this essay studies the trend of energy development and changes, and compares Anhui with Jiangxi Province, which shares similar resource endowments, in order to explore energy transformation plans that are in line with provincially local conditions. The consumption of typical fossil fuels and the development conditions of new energy sources in Anhui Province are analyzed by using the methods of statistical and qualitative analysis. Based on the experience of transformation in neighboring Jiangxi Province and fully considering the functional orientation of Anhui Province in energy and economic fields in East China, this paper concludes that in Anhui Province, the efficient and safe utilization of local new energy resources should be given priority, along with actively promoting the technology of new energy generation and storage. Anhui Province should also strive to transfer existing rich new energy resources and promote cooperation in new energy supply with other provinces to improve the capability of energy guarantee, which may inject new impetus into economic development.

Authors: Wang Tianshu
Published: November 2023

The stock market in China has an important position in the world, but it has not been able to find a pricing model suitable for the market. This paper reviews the history and development of various pricing models, analyzes relevant research on their application in the Chinese stock market, and discusses the applicability of various pricing models. It is found that the applicability of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) in China is low; the applicability of the Fama-French three-factor model and the Fama-French five-factor model is better than CAPM, but there is significant controversy over the advantages and disadvantages of the two. It is also found that the applicability of the five-factor model may have regional differences in different markets, and there may be differences in redundant factors in different markets. It is proposed that future research should obtain more accurate market data, explore new influencing factors, and build a pricing model more suitable for the stock market in China by combining the characteristics based on more advanced data analysis technology.

PENERAPAN MEKANISME COMPLIANT PADA MEKANISME GERAK GRIPPER
Authors: Saptata Neil Harits , Galbi Mohammad , Lukmana Muhammad Arifudin
Published: November 2023

Innovation is a term for applying an idea that can form a new product or improve an existing product. The parallelogram shape is the most popular mechanism used in gripper because of its configuration that causes the tip to hold its orientation when closed and open. The drawback of this form is the large number of components needed and requires an assembly process in order to achieve the desired motion. A compliant mechanism can overcome this shortcoming because objects can be made simpler without the need for an assembly process. The advantages and disadvantages of the compliant gripper have been obtained from the design, test results, and comparisons. The design obtained with dimensions of P 186.27 X W 157.55 X H 10 mm uses a leaf-type flexure with varying thickness. The thicker it is the greater the force required to use the gripper. the results printed using a 3d printer also reflect the data that has been obtained regarding the style. The thinner the flexure, the more susceptible the tool is to external forces such as shocks. The comparisons made show that the advantages of the gripper are the minimum required components, no assembly process required, and a smaller mass compared to the reference mechanism. Disadvantages obtained are the decrease in the width of the opening distance and the orientation of the finger that changes according to changes in the angle at the fulcrum.

Authors: Joseph Noi J , Kariithi James N. , Onyango Vonwicks Czelestakov
Published: November 2023

Myiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infestation by the larval stages (maggots) of many species of flies, which occur worldwide but are more prevalent in the tropical and subtropical regions. The two main types of flies causing human myiasis are Dermatobia hominis (bot fly) and Cordylobia anthropophaga (tumbu fly). Cases of human myiasis in Kenya are not well documented, but some epidemiological studies show the tumbu fly to be the most prevalent. Transmission and infestation occur in cases of poor personal and environmental hygiene, especially in spaces shared with wild and domestic animals. Cutaneous myiasis, presenting as a furuncular, wound, and migratory disease, is the most common clinical phenotype that may be associated with secondary pyogenic infection and cellulitis, especially when not treated promptly. In this study, we present a case of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in a patient from rural Kenya. We share our experience managing the patient and also provide a literature review on the clinical case management of myiasis, with a call for more epidemiological and clinical work to be done to better understand this neglected disease.

With the emergence of IoT, new computing paradigms have also emerged. Initial IoT systems had all the computing happening on the cloud. With the emergence of Industry 4.0 and IoT being the major building block, clouds are not the only solution for data storage and analytics. Cloudlet, Fog Computing, Edge Computing, and Dew Computing models are now available, providing similar capabilities as the cloud. The term cloudlet was introduced first in 2011, but research in this area has picked up only over the past five years. Unlike clouds, which are built with powerful server-class machines and GPUs, cloudlets are usually made using simpler devices such as SoCs. In this paper, we propose a complete novel distributed architecture for cloudlets, and we are also proposing algorithms for data storage and task allocation across various nodes in the cloudlet. This cloudlet system was built using Qualcomm Snapdragon 410c. We have analyzed the architecture and the algorithm for varying workloads, bandwidth and data storage. The primary aim of the algorithm and the architecture is to ensure uniform processing and data loads across the nodes of the system.

Although a growing amount of research has shown a relationship between the extent of basic psychological needs satisfaction and the state of well-being in diverse populations, studies focused on faculty in the new normal remain limited. An online survey of 100 faculty members from an institution of Catholic higher education in the Philippines was conducted in the latter half of 2022 to examine this relationship. The results of this study showed that satisfying the basic psychological needs of faculty during the new normal can contribute significantly to their well-being. These results can inform higher education institutions about how they can best support their faculty in the new normal and promote student learning.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered one of the world's fastest-growing technologies, and it has a tremendous impact on people's lives in many different ways. With notable improvements in the evolution and expansion of technologies, the IoT faces numerous security threats and challenges. IoT technology uses various devices and protocols, making it difficult to apply adequate security control across the whole system and vulnerable to multiple attacks. Using essential technologies such as ML helps in addressing the recent security challenges and attacks on the IoT ecosystem. This paper presents an overview of IoT security. Also, it highlights types of IoT architecture security and explores the various kinds of attacks under each IoT architectural layer. Moreover, this paper discusses the uses of Machine Learning (ML) as a solution in IoT systems.

Las revistas depredadoras han sido definidas como un modelo fraudulento que se aprovecha de la ruta dorada, implementada por publicaciones de acceso abierto. Estas revistas explotan el negocio del cobro a los autores, prometiendo una publicación rápida y a bajo costo, no obstante, no cumplen con las tareas propias de toda revista científica, como la revisión por pares o la preservación digital de los escritos originales, por lo cual publican trabajos de calidad, metodología y reproducibilidad cuestionables. Por lo anterior, esta investigación tiene por objetivo determinar el nivel de conocimientos que los investigadores activos de la Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana (UTEM) poseen sobre las revistas depredadoras. Para el estudio se utilizó una encuesta, como instrumento de recolección de datos, la cual fue enviada a los investigadores activos de la UTEM. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se pudo concluir que los investigadores de la UTEM están familiarizados con el término revistas depredadoras, y, son capaces de identificar ciertas características de estas revistas, como el hecho de que no realizan un adecuado proceso de revisión por pares, ofrecen un rápido proceso de publicación a bajo costo y que ostentan títulos similares al de las revistas de renombre, además de poder identificar algunas herramientas para su detección.
Access and Equity in Ontario Teacher Education: Teacher Candidates’ Perceptions
Authors: Holden Michael , Kitchen Julian
Published: November 2023

Access, equity, and equitable representation are ongoing challenges in teacher education. While many Canadian teacher education programs identify equity and diversity as key values, these values do not always result in rates of representation that reflect the student population. Minoritized teacher candidates also experience our programs in unique ways, creating gaps between university equity statements and the lived experiences of our students. This study therefore examines the perspectives of 13 teacher candidates who self-identify as members of various underrepresented groups. Participants’ experiences offer key insights into the challenge of achieving equitable and diverse representation. The presented findings will be of interest to teacher educators and other stakeholders committed to addressing the complex task of increasing equity and access for underrepresented groups in their programs. L’accès, l’équité et la représentation équitable constituent des défis constants en formation des enseignants. Alors que plusieurs programmes de formation des enseignants identifient comme valeurs fondamentales l’équité et la diversité, l’adoption de ces valeurs ne mène pas toujours à des taux de représentation qui reflètent la population des étudiants. Les candidats minoritaires au programme de formation à l’enseignement vivent l’expérience du programme différemment, ce qui crée des écarts entre l’énoncé de l’université sur l’équité et le vécu des étudiants. Cette étude porte sur la perspective de 13 étudiants candidats au programme de formation à l’enseignement qui s’auto-identifient comme membres de divers groupes sous-représentés. Ces expériences offrent des aperçus essentiels sur le défi d’atteindre une représentation équitable et diverse. Les résultats sauront intéresser les formateurs d’enseignants et d’autres parties prenantes qui s’engagent à aborder la tâche complexe qui est celle d’augmenter l’équité et l’accès à leurs programmes pour les étudiants sous-représentés.
