Twitter's (and X's) Star and Heart Buttons
Authors: White Michele
Published: January 2025

Twitter's 2015 change from the star to the heart button caused many participants to antagonistically respond. This modification was supposed to enable participants’ easy and frictionless engagements. Nevertheless, it caused friction, including journalists’ identification as dismissed super users who were contaminated by the heart's feminine references. I employ close reading to study news stories, posts, and Twitter's narratives about the buttons. I cite academic scholarship on friction, feelings, buttons, and gender scripts as a means of arguing that Twitter's heart button was sometimes understood as frictionless, but it was also refused because of negative connotations. While such scholars as Sebastián Lehuedé and José Medina argue that individuals can employ friction to intervene in intolerance, my humanities study underscores how gender and sexuality norms are reproduced.

In our fast-paced digital age, numerous daily tasks such as booking services, making payments, and shopping are seamlessly facilitated through online platforms. However, a crucial aspect that remains overlooked is the efficient hiring of labor for various tasks at homes, workplaces, and public spaces. This research paper addresses this significant gap in the labor market, focusing on the lack of a proper system for hiring coolies or unskilled laborers. Both service requesters and laborers face numerous challenges, including inefficiencies in booking processes and difficulties in securing consistent daily employment. This study explores the traditional coolie hiring process, highlighting the inefficiencies and challenges that hinder both laborers and service requesters. It provides a detailed analysis of the current situations faced by coolies, such as the lack of reliable employment opportunities, and the difficulties service requesters encounter in finding dependable labor. By examining these issues, the paper aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics within the labor market and the expectations of both parties involved. The research identifies critical aspects of the hiring process and key pain points, such as the absence of a streamlined booking system, lack of verification for laborer skills, and the need for a transparent rating system. It suggests practical improvements, including the development of a digital platform that can enhance efficiency, ensure fair wages, and provide a more reliable means of employment for coolies. The goal of this paper is to present a thorough analysis that can inform future strategies and policies aimed at improving the hiring process for coolie laborers. By addressing these challenges, the proposed digital platform has the potential to benefit both the workforce and those seeking their services, ultimately contributing to a more organized and efficient labor market.

Climate change variations have significant adverse impacts on water resources, particularly in regions where the water supply is primarily dependent on reservoir systems. For efficient management of water resources, it is essential to comprehend the dynamics of reservoir water levels and climate-driven anomalies. Quantitatively appraising the water budget is crucial for enhancing socio-economic water and energy demands. Analyzing fluctuations in water levels and cyclic patterns of drought seasons due to climate change can significantly aid in the pre-planning and managing reservoir systems. This study aims to enhance water reservoir management by using satellite imagery to identify drought periods through surface water area analysis. With the fusion of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-1 data, this research focuses on mapping water surface changes at the Victoria Lake reservoir, Sri Lanka, using the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) from 2018 to 2023. Both satellite data were acquired and subsequently processed on the Google Earth Engine platform (GEE). The resulting maps were created using ArcMap desktop software. The correlation coefficient observed between Landsat 8 and Sentinel-1 NDWI area measurements is 0.771, indicating a strong relationship between the two datasets. This high correlation underscores the reliability of using both sources to comprehensively analyze water surface area. Factors such as sensor calibration, atmospheric conditions, and data processing techniques can affect recorded values and correlations. Results revealed a cyclic pattern in water levels, with a notable trough in March 2019, followed by a significant drop lasting until March 2022, and another rapid decline observed within the subsequent year. Integrating satellite imagery in monitoring and decision-making processes offers a valuable tool for addressing the challenges of water and energy management under climate anomalies.

Published: January 2025

Customer biometrics such as blood pressure, pulse rate, and eye movement can be recognized as significant indicators engaged with impulse purchasing decision-making in fashion retail websites due to numerous web-based hedonic stimuli. There is an empirical gap that was recognized as relevant to existing studies performed under the respective areas of the research. This resulted in understanding the research problem as “there is a lack of the existing empirical studies relevant to the fashion retail sector on impulse purchasing decisions based on web-based hedonic stimuli addressing customer biometrics” and the conceptual framework has been developed under the S-O-R model to resolve the research problem identified under stimuli – response principle. The research was conducted as a pilot exploratory study to obtain a basic understanding of how customer biometrics indicate impulse purchasing decisions based on different appearances of web-based hedonic stimuli under five (05) participants representing both Generation Y and Z based on judgmental sampling. Participants were tested for 10 minutes each by displaying three (03) websites categorized under three levels of richness and tracked eye movements by using an online eye tracking software. The pulse and blood pressure were measured too before and after the sessions of each participant. The results of eye tracking were thematically analyzed and concluded as different web-based hedonic stimuli lead to impulse purchasing decisions in the fashion retail sector reflecting factors such as image and graphic use, color use representing “perceived enjoyment (PE)” and navigational flexibility of websites representing “perceived ease of use (PEU)” according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study opened the gates to conduct future research to identify reasons why the blood pressure and pulse rate of web visitors decrease in short web surfing periods when into impulse purchasing decision-making.

In the present marketing landscape, brands are competing for attention, and companies are eager to build closer relationships with their consumers. This study extends the scope of personalization by deeply embedding consumers into the core of the products they engage with, enhancing their experience through personalized interactions. The drivers of consumer interest in personalized products and the ways in which personalization shapes overall experiences remain unclear in existing findings, particularly when consumers exhibit unexpected reactions. The research discusses how product personalization affects consumer’s emotions and attitudes toward products, how businesses can effectively utilize product personalization to drive sales growth, and the psychological drivers underlying the influence of product personalization. This approach exceeds the limitations of traditional personalization strategies and unlocks a novel avenue for marketing. Identity engagement is a phenomenon where consumers experience an extreme sense of connection with products that reflect their unique identities. When brands design things that reflect their unique personality, it creates a bond, and this connection is beyond ordinary marketing tricks. This experimental study confirmed that personalized products convey significantly stronger positive attitudes compared to non-personalized products. Identity engagement and product type influence how consumers emotionally engage with and perceive products, shaping their behavior. Personalization is more effective when consumers feel a strong personal connection to the product, allowing marketers to tailor strategies for greater impact and increase their sales. By understanding consumers’ individual interests, brands create a feeling that the consumer belongs to their community, not just their market.

Published: January 2025

Student privacy is a major concern in the digital era, especially with the increasing use of educational technologies such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and IoT devices. Traditional authentication systems are considered inadequate in the face of complex security threats. Therefore, this study evaluates the effectiveness of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in protecting student privacy in an educational environment. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design based on 86 relevant articles selected from Scopus indexed journals (2020–2024). The articles were analyzed thematically using PRISMA Flow Diagram to identify patterns, trends, and gaps related to MFA implementation. The findings show that MFA can improve student privacy protection by reducing the risk of data leaks by up to 80%, lowering unauthorized access, and increasing user trust. Key technologies include biometrics, OTP, and blockchain, which have proven to be effective in improving security. However, MFA implementation faces obstacles such as cost, system complexity, and biometric data privacy concerns. This research makes an important contribution to academic literature and educational data security practices. Recommendations for further research include the exploration of behavior-based authentication methods, studies on user perception, and the implementation of MFA in educational environments with limited infrastructure. The practical implications include strengthening technology security policies in educational institutions and educating users to raise awareness of the importance of data privacy protection.

The relevance of the study lies in the need to assess the impact of the russian-Ukrainian war on the agrarian potential of the Kherson region due to significant economic and ecological losses, in particular, the destruction and contamination of soils, which requires urgent monitoring of their quality and restoration of fertility to restore the agrarian sphere of the region. The assessment of the impact of the russian-Ukrainian war on the agrarian potential of the Kherson region and the determination of the prospects for its post-war recovery were chosen as the purpose of this work. The research was carried out using general scientific and special methods of studying phenomena and processes: analysis and synthesis, system analysis, method of analogy and modelling, system analysis, methods of information collection and processing. Data from the NASA FIRMS databases, Sentinel-2 satellite images, as well as images of fires from the Giovanni resource were used as an information base for the analysis. Additionally, tracking results of MODIS, VIIRS and VIIRS 2 Suomi satellites are involved. A mutual correlation of the yield of agricultural crops and the Agricultural Stress Index was carried out, which proves the absence of a serious impact of drought on the yield of agricultural crops in the Kherson region, except for the driest years. The dependence between the yield of grain and leguminous crops and the application of fertilisers and pesticide treatment was established through the use of the mutual correlation function. A model of the influence of the application of mineral fertilisers and pesticides was built using the Cobb-Douglas econometric function, which allows predicting the optimal conditions for the introduction of agricultural production. Conclusions, proposals and practical recommendations will be useful in the development of relevant programs and measures aimed at the post-war restoration of agricultural soil and the general development of the country's agricultural production

Strategic Career Planning for the Uninterrupted Growth of an Engineering Faculty Member Through “RAAT”
Authors: Vedhathiri Thanikachalam
Published: January 2025

Engineering faculty members of various institutions don’t get counselors, coaches, or mentors. Many institutes face problems in recruiting outstanding faculty members and operating with limited resources. Many of them don’t have neither strategic planning nor effective linkages with their employers. Under these circumstances, outstanding faculty members have to develop strategic career planning for uninterrupted growth under vulnerability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). After identifying the discrimination lashed out at outstanding faculty members, the faculty members have to develop a “Research-Acquire-Adept- and Transform” (RAAT) model for strategic career planning. They have to conduct a SWOT Analysis and interpret the shortcomings. Further, they have to resolve the effects of VUCA. They have to develop professional goals and look beyond doctoral degrees. They have to plan self-directed faculty development programs to reach outstanding leadership positions. They may have to reframe career goals, and vision for accelerated growth based on a revised vision and coupled with lifelong learning methods. They have to plan interdisciplinary programs, and effective services to various companies. They have to get recognition for their outstanding performances from appropriate national academics and international societies. They have to plan diverse global faculty development programs. This model RAAT Model has enabled many outstanding faculty members to reach planned career goals. However, if the institutes are governed by toxic leaders, it will be very difficult to reach planned high positions. This could be a temporary bottleneck since the Ministry of Education would plan to introduce various development programs to get excellent outcomes. The well-performing faculty with all accomplishments will attain the best status in their career.

Authors: Sharma Deepak , Orilade Afelemo , Sharma Priyanka , Zahid Fahad , Farrington Dean
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) requires effective anticoagulation to prevent circuit clotting. This study compared heparin and regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), focusing on patient safety, cost-effectiveness, and nursing perspectives.

METHODS: This retrospective observational study included ICU patients undergoing CRRT with heparin (December 2021 - March 2022) and RCA (June 2022 - September 2022). Outcomes assessed were CRRT duration per patient, filter set cost, lifespan, and blood transfusion requirements. Data were extracted from electronic health records and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 29.

RESULTS: RCA significantly increased CRRT duration per patient (198 vs. 101 hours, p = 0.037) and filter lifespan (67 vs. 24 hours, p < 0.001) compared to heparin. Filter cost per renal day decreased from £98.05 with heparin to £57.48 with RCA (p = 0.04). Blood transfusion requirements reduced from 0.59 to 0.27 transfusions per renal day, lowering daily transfusion costs from £84.96 to £39.58 with RCA.

CONCLUSION: RCA demonstrated clinical and economic benefits in CRRT compared to heparin, including improved filter longevity, reduced transfusion requirements, and overall cost savings.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Implementation of RCA in CRRT can enhance treatment efficacy, reduce nursing interventions, and improve resource utilization in ICU settings.

A legitimidade para a cobrança e execução dos honorários de sucumbência no Código de Processo Civil: a controvérsia em debate no Superior Tribunal de Justiça
Authors: Stipsky Paulo Ricardo
Published: January 2025

O tema dos honorários advocatícios de sucumbência sempre se mostrou polêmico na doutrina e na jurisprudência, em grande parte em razão da redação pouco específica do artigo 20 do Código de Processo Civil de 1973. De outro lado, a jurisprudência já se posicionou pela titularidade da verba honorária ao advogado e que se trata de direito com natureza alimentar, reconhecendo, nesse contexto, a legitimidade concorrente da parte e do advogado para a interposição de recursos. O legislador, a partir do Código de Processo Civil de 2015 buscou consolidar esse entendimento, o que, no entanto, não pacificou a questão em torno da legitimidade concorrente da parte, a partir de agora, para a interposição de recurso em matéria de honorários advocatícios de sucumbência, razão da afetação da questão pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça para a formação de tese repetitiva (Tema Repetitivo n. 1242). Dessa forma, principalmente pela revisão da jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça a respeito do tema e considerando a natureza processual-material dos honorários de sucumbência, resta evidente que existe legitimidade concorrente da parte e do advogado na hipótese, sem prejuízo do reconhecimento de que a verba pertence ao advogado e com natureza alimentar.

У статті розглядається метапредметна компетентність учнів Нової української школи (НУШ) у контексті інтегрованого курсу «Мистецтво». Описується важливість інтеграції різних мистецьких дисциплін, яка сприяє формуванню цілісного сприйняття знань та розвитку творчих здібностей учнів. Обговорюються аспекти соціальної взаємодії, критичного мислення і креативності, що виникають у процесі навчання. Також акцентується увага на використанні інноваційних технологій, які підвищують ефективність освітнього процесу. Стаття підкреслює роль метапредметної компетентності в підготовці учнів до викликів сучасного суспільства та формуванні їхньої готовності до активної участі в житті громади. Світ став на шлях нової форми прогресу. У кожному секторі суспільства існує великий попит на людей, які володіють інноваційним мисленням, культурою інновацій та здатністю до інноваційних дій. Такі люди повинні вміти розпізнавати зміни, ініціювати зміни та процвітати в умовах, що постійно розвиваються, наповнених новими знаннями, свіжими ідеями, новими технологіями та зміненим способом життя. У світлі цивілізаційних зрушень підвищення конкурентоспроможності національної освіти стало першочерговим напрямком модернізації освіти в Україні. Освітні рамки на всіх рівнях повинні надавати пріоритет розвитку та вдосконаленню навичок і компетенцій, необхідних для участі в інноваційних починаннях. Враховуючи це, у статті акцентується увага на те, що основна увага освітніх закладів повинна зміщуватись в бік інновацій, що веде до місії, яка могла б забезпечити зхакладу конкурентні переваги, одночасно задовольняючи фундаментальні потреби тих, хто залучений до освітнього процесу. Модель навчання створена як фундаментальний підхід до інноваційної освіти, який наголошує на спільній дослідницькій діяльності учасниками освітнього процесу. Ця модель має на меті сприяти розвитку індивідуальних перспектив учнів і узгоджується зі спільними інтересами, визначеними дослідницькою програмою.
ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ УМОВИ ПІДГОТОВКИ БАКАЛАВРІВ З ЕКОНОМІКИ ДО ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-КОМУНІКАЦІЙНИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ У ПРОФЕСІЙНІЙ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

Стаття присвячена визначенню та обґрунтуванню педагогічних умов підготовки бакалаврів з економіки до використання інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій у професійній діяльності. Автори зазначають, що використання ІКТ сприяє успішному продукуванню змісти освіти, втіленню у практику творчих ідей та використанню нестандартних підходів до підготовки бакалаврів з економіки. Звертається увага на постійні змістові та організаційні трансформації у методиці підготовки бакалаврів з економіки, що пов’язано з удосконаленням технічних засобів, комп’ютерної техніки. Автори пропонують дотримання педагогами таких засад навчання: – створення творчо-пошукової атмосфери на заняттях, немає доцільності отримання студентом усієї інформації в готовому вигляді, бо за декілька таких занять його когнітивна спроможність може стати близькою до нуля; – помилковим є використання на заняттях лише однієї форми діяльності; – метою впровадження інноваційних ідей є реалізація нових підходів до методології навчання, застосуванні нових методик, технологічних потенціалів, мультимедійних засобів навчання задля результативності особистісного розвитку фахівця економічного профілю у подальшому. Педагогічні умови трактуються як чинники (обставини), які уможливлюють оптимальну взаємодію між учасниками освітнього процесу. Важливою функцією педагогічних умов є надання можливості науково-педагогічним працівникам реалізовувати керівництво отриманням інформації про ІКТ бакалаврами з економіки. Авторами пропонуються такі педагогічні умови підготовки бакалаврів з економіки до використання ІКТ у професійній діяльності: – спрямованість змісту освітнього процесу (фахових освітніх компонент) на використання інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій у професійній діяльності; – використання інтерактивних методів в процесі підготовки бакалаврів з економіки; – підвищення рівня інформаційно-комунікаційної компетентності науково-педагогічних працівників, що викладають дисципліни в бакалаврів з економіки; – розширення творчих можливостей професійного спілкування під час виробничої практики бакалаврів з економіки.

НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВІ ЗАСАДИ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ НЕПРАЦЮЮЧИХ (ПРОБЛЕМНИХ) АКТИВІВ У БАНКІВСЬКІЙ СФЕРІ
Authors: Данченко В.

Актуальність статті полягає в тому, що сьогодні забезпечення ефективного функціонування банківської сфери є одним із найбільш важливих завдань законодавця, адже стабільність економіки напряму залежить від якості, результативності та активності цього сектору економіки. Втім, реалії сьогодення, зокрема соціальна, економічна та політична нестабільність, призвели до того, що у банківській сфері зростає кількість непрацюючих (проблемних) активів, що в свою чергу негативно відбивається на прибутковості банків, а відтак і їх ліквідності. Саме тому, в умовах сьогодення вкрай важливим є побудова ефективної системи нормативно-правових засад регулювання непрацюючих (проблемних) активів у банківській сфері. Дослідженню останніх і буде присвячена дана наукова праця. У статті, спираючись на аналіз наукових поглядів вчених сформульовано визначення поняття «правові засади регулювання непрацюючих (проблемних) активів у банківській сфері». Виділено коло нормативно-правових актів, які складають систему правового регулювання непрацюючих (проблемних) активів у банківській сфері. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що переважна більшість аспектів управління непрацюючими (проблемними) активами регулюється підзаконними, а також відомчими нормативно-правовими актами. Зроблено висновок, що на сьогоднішній день система правових засад регулювання непрацюючих (проблемних) активів у банківській сфері представлена великою кількістю нормативно-правових актів різної юридичної сили, кожен із яких регулює окремі аспекти функціонування та управління даним фінансово-правовим явищем. Варто зауважити, що переважна більшість аспектів управління непрацюючими (проблемними) активами регулюється підзаконними, а також відомчими нормативно-правовими актами. При цьому суттєвим недоліком є те, що дане питання недостатньо повно врегульовано саме на законодавчому рівні. Зокрема, у Законах України «Про банки і банківську діяльність»; «Про систему гарантування вкладів фізичних осіб»; «Про фінансову реструктуризацію» не віднайшло відображення навіть визначення поняття проблемні (непрацюючі) активи, а також сутність та зміст цього явища.
