Authors: Анисимова Анна Тихоновна
Published: May 2023

Классическое языковое обучение в условиях современной образовательной среды переходит в более функциональный формат, в котором иностранный язык из объекта преподавания и изучения трансформируется в дидактический инструмент профессионального образования. Анализ научно-педагогических публикаций позволяет утверждать, что наиболее перспективной в этом отношении моделью является предметно-языковой интегрированный подход к иноязычному образованию (CLIL модель). Несмотря на значительный корпус публикаций, посвященных различным аспектам данной модели, проблема разработки принципов и критериев отбора предметно-тематического содержания обучения не выступала предметом отдельного изучения, что определило актуальность настоящей работы. Целью данного исследования является определение принципов формирования учебного контента, а также выявление проблемных зон на пути реализации интегрированного обучения. В статье рассматриваются наиболее актуальные и дискуссионные вопросы и условия организации обучения по CLIL модели.

Authors: Мерхелевич Геннадий Викторович
Published: May 2023

Важную роль в повышении качества иноязычной подготовки играет воспитательно-развивающая деятельность. Несмотря на многочисленность публикаций, посвященных данной проблематике, вопрос о необходимости включения данного вида деятельности в общий учебный процесс в научной литературе не освещен. Целью данного исследования является рассмотрение роли воспитательно-развивающей деятельности как дополнительной по отношению к образовательному компоненту педагогического процесса, что позволяет обучающимся овладеть иностранным языком как инструментом прямого обмена иноязычной информацией. Исследование проводилось на основе зарубежного опыта, а также педагогического опыта автора с целью реализации методологических возможностей, не используемых отечественной школой. Результаты исследования подтверждают факт усиления суммарного педагогического потенциала данного процесса посредством организации воспитательно-развивающей деятельности на его начальном этапе и подтверждают ее полную функциональную автономность от его образовательной составляющей.

Authors: Морозова Ирина Анатольевна , Шевченко Светлана Алексеевна , Кузьмина Екатерина Валериевна
Published: May 2023

В современных условиях приоритет государства – приоритет высшего образования в развитии личности современной молодежи, однако количество поступающих в вузы в последние годы существенно снижается. На этот факт указывают итоги приёмных компаний в вузах.  Одной из причин снижения набора абитуриентов в высшие учебные заведения является слабая степень учета личностных качеств абитуриентов при организации вузом профориентационной работы. Цель исследования – выявить личностные качества и ценностные ориентиры современных абитуриентов как представителей поколения Z. В ходе исследования изучены научные подходы к понятию личности человека и уточнены составляющие компоненты его структуры (генетический, мотивационный, деятельностный и ценностный компоненты). Определено, что важным фактором, влияющим на формирование личностных качеств человека, является среда воспитания. Авторами статьи  уточнены характерные особенности среды воспитания поколения Z, которые повлияли на развитие качеств личности современных абитуриентов: информационная перегруженность современного общества, приоритет виртуального мира, гиперопека со стороны родителей, экономические кризисы и другие. На основе анализа результатов научных исследований авторами впервые определены  компоненты структуры личности поколения Z (генетический, мотивационный, деятельностный, ценностный) и раскрыто их содержание. Использование результатов исследования в процессе организации профориентационной работы позволит выстроить эффективные коммуникации с абитуриентами с целью привлечения их в высшие учебные заведения.
Analysis of Achievement of Academic Major Competency in College Women Majoring in Beauty
Authors: Kim Sun-Hyoung
Published: May 2023

This study attempted to diagnose the achievement of academic major competencies and use the results as basic data in setting up an education plan. In terms of overall achievement, ‘creativity, communication, empathy’ was the highest, followed by ‘problem-solving ability’ and ‘science-art convergence capability’. In achievement of academic major competencies by academic year, ‘2nd-4th years’ was higher than ‘1st year’. The achievement of academic major competencies was high in ‘students who started to learn Beauty early’ and ‘those with a high academic grade in the latest semester’. In terms of such achievement by the extracurricular program, ‘students participating in 1-6 program(s)’ were higher than ‘those with none or 7 or more programs’. According to correlation analysis by academic competency, ‘science-art convergence capability’ revealed a positive relation with ‘problem-solving ability’ and ‘creativity, communication, empathy’ with statistical significance. In addition, a positive correlation was found between ‘problem-solving ability’ and ‘creativity, communication, empathy’. For the balanced improvement of academic major competencies, therefore, it is required to sort and support the courses which can help students have a better understanding of science, a sub competency of ‘creativity, communication, empathy’ with the lowest achievement of academic major competency, adjust a difficulty level based on students’ opinions and develop an academic major-connected extracurricular program. In ‘problem-solving ability’, in addition, ‘decision-making’ was low while ‘business startup and management’ was low in ‘creativity, communication, empathy’. Therefore, it is needed to help students have an understanding of their job through the expansion of practical courses and field training and build the ability to solve problems.

A Study on the Standard type of Eyebrow Design for the Development of A.I. Beauty Service
Authors: Zhang Xiao-Shuang , Choi Min-Lyoung
Published: May 2023

A little bit of change in eyebrow makeup, which is essential for complementing a face shape and regulating its image, can have an effect on an overall face; especially, mandatory mask wearing due to the covid-19 breakout has highlighted the importance of eyebrow makeup, creating a variety of eyebrow shapes. Among them, ‘standard’ eyebrow type goes well with all types of face shape. However, it does not mean eyebrow makeup can complement the disadvantages of face shape. Therefore, as concerns the thickness of eyebrow, the gap between eyebrows and eyes, and the glabellar width, this study aimed to collect their quantitative data on the base of which standard eyebrow type is corrected and supplemented enough to be suited well by face shape, in order to provide basic data for creating the algorithm of A.I.-based beauty device – a stepping stone for the development of related services. In this study, we made a literature review on standard eyebrow type, thus making an organised experiment, and then performed an expert evaluation of its result. The findings of this study were as follows: First, when we made standard eyebrow expressions on a long face by using makeup eyebrow pencil, expressing much narrower the gap between eyebrow and eye, and the glabellar as well turned out to be effective. This may be because such a makeup made the gap look relatively short, and the narrow-looking glabellar made the face center catch one’s eye, with the result that they helped the narrow face look relatively wide. Second, when we made standard eyebrow expressions on a diamond face, expressing the glabellar much narrower turned out to work. It can be because the narrow-looking glabellar made the face center catch one’s eye, keeping one's eyes out of high cheekbones. Third, when standard eyebrow was expressed on an angular or inverted triangle face, penciling the overall eyebrows much thicker made the face area look relatively narrower, had the desired effect. It may be worth meaning that such an eyebrow makeup made the exposed face area smaller, eclipsing the standout angular part of the face. Finally, when we made standard eyebrow expressions on a round or oval face, expressing the eyebrow much thicker, the gap between eye and eyebrow much wider, and the glabellar much narrower proved effective. It may be because the narrow-looking glabellar made one’s eye focused on the center of the face, helping look relatively narrow the wide midface which ranges from eyebrow to the tip of the nose from the aesthetic view.

This study investigated the effects of acupressure and lymphatic massage on pain, stress, and sleep quality in middle-aged women with chronic neck pain. Forty-five women were randomly assigned into acupressure group (n=15), lymphatic massage group (n=15), and untreated control group (n=15). Acupressure and lymphatic massage treatments were performed twice a week for 4 weeks. Neck pain intensity was measured using visual analogue scale (VAS) and difficulties of daily life due to neck pain was assessed by neck disability index (NDI). Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Stress was evaluated by perceived stress scale (PSS) and symptoms of stress Inventory (SOSI). The significance of interaction between group and time was analyzed using a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. The results of ANOVA showed that time main effects and interaction effects of VAS and NDI were significant (all p<.001) indicating that acupressure and lymphatic massage are effective in reducing pain. Time main effect (p<.01) and interaction effect (p<.01) of PSQI total score were significant showing that acupressure and lymphatic massage affect the quality of sleep. Time (p<.05) and interaction effects (p<.05) of PSS were significant. Additionally, time (p<.01) and interaction effects (p<.01) of the total score of SOSI were significant. These results indicated that acupressure and lymphatic massage affect the stress response pattern. In conclusion, both acupressure and lymphatic massage are effective for reducing chronic neck pain, improving the quality of sleep, and relieving stress.

Authors: Hyun Ji-Won
Published: May 2023

Frequent chemical treatments, such as dyeing and permanent waving, as well as the widespread use of heat-based hair styling devices, like flat irons and curling irons, can cause significant damage to hair fibers, leading to various adverse effects, such as dryness, breakage, split ends, and frizziness. Recently, there has been a trend towards using direct heat perms because they are time-saving, shorter in duration, and less complicated. However, as the damage to hair caused by direct perms increases, this study compares and analyzes the degree of damage to hair fibers caused by both direct heat perms and softening heat perms. Moreover, by comparing, analyzing, and evaluating the morphological changes to the hair surface and cross-section after each type of perm treatment based on hair condition, this study aims to objectively understand the effects of heat perms on hair and provide basic data for further research in this field.
A Study on the Aesthetic Characteristics of Hetaira Beauty Style Expressed in Greek Pottery
Authors: Yang Su-Mi
Published: May 2023

This study studied the aesthetic characteristics of Hetaira's costume and beauty style expressed in pottery paintings of the Greek era as the contents of Greek mythology were recently re-examined as the subject of humanities interest. In ancient Greece, the common name for prostitutes was Hetaira, and she was a religious prostitute who was at the top of the list of prostitutes in Greek society, enjoying the wealth of freedom and status more than any other woman. The aesthetic characteristics of the Hetaira beauty style of the Greek era were largely shown as An ornament beauty, An ostentatious sensuality and symbolic beauty of power. First, An ornament beauty was the makeup of a Greek Hetaira woman, who emphasized her eyes with thick and dark black eyebrows and black eyeliner. The Hetaira woman's face was white with white lead, her eyes were emphasized with eyeshadow using black cowl, and she applied orange short yarn to her cheeks and mouth to put on intense color makeup. Hetara dyed her hair in all sorts of colors, decorated her hair with hairpieces, wore thin cloth ribbons and chest bands, and sprayed perfume made with special prescriptions. Second, ostentatious sensual beauty was applied to various sexual zones of the feminine body and the whole body, such as the nipple and buttocks, which can stimulate men's sexual pleasure, and Hetair's outfit was in the form of a full-body keyton or revealing the upper body. The hair was as voluminous as possible, and the method of dispersing the tarae on the forehead was used to make it look as sensual as possible. Curled hair with thick waves was naturally curled up and expressed sensibly using a signon shape and long hair. Third, the symbolic beauty of power is that ancient Greece's ‘privilege fashion’ was ‘nature’, a power that only men could have, but Hetaira had equal power with men in the symposium with nakedness. The hairstyle seems to have been able to wear a veil or a laurel crown, which is exclusively for men. In the form of a wig, he preferred a curling style with no forehead exposed, and it was found that he produced blade hair. Hetaira's style, represented in Greek pottery paintings, had hair, makeup, and fashion styles that represented the Greek era, possessed greater power and wealth than ordinary women in the Greek era, and was found to have the privilege of wearing heavy makeup, light hair colors and hair decorations that were not allowed by ordinary women. Therefore, it was found that it was very meaningful to study Hetaira's beauty style in studying the beauty culture of the Greek era.

Authors: Qiao Yan-Lin , Noh Young-Hee
Published: May 2023

This study analyzed differences in scalp/hair self-recognition and scalp/hair care behavior based on general characteristics and lifestyles of university students residing in China. A survey was conducted on 390 university students attending universities in Northeast China (Liaoning, Heilongjiang) and North China (Shanxi, Hebei), and the analysis results are as follows. The rate of female subjects was high at 83.8%, and 64.1% of the subjects were using 1,000-2,000 yuan per month as pocket money, which is 180,000 won to 400,000 won per month when converted into Korean money. Of lifestyle factors, stress, smoking, exercise habits, diet, lifestyle, etc. had a significant effect on scalp/hair self-recognition and scalp/hair management behavior. Stress showed a significant difference in both scalp selfperception (F=7.777, p=0.000) and hair self-perception (F=3.734, p=0.025), and smoking also showed a significant difference in scalp self-perception (t=2.115, p=0.35). There was also a significant difference (t=3.039, p=0.003) in smoking and scalp/hair care behaviors as well as significant differences in scalp self-recognition (F=4.908, p=0.008) based on exercise habits. It was found that the higher the stress, the more frequent smoking, and the less exercising were more concerned about the health of scalp and hair. In addition, it w as found that the more frequent the diet and the more regular the life pattern, the better the scalp condition was perceived and the scalp and hair management behavior was superior. The above results suggest that Chinese college students were also very interested in scalp and hair, and that the scalp and hair care industry could develop in China. In order to expand Korea's scalp and hair care industry to China, it is required to develop relevant contents and prepare an education system. This study has limitations in that the research subjects are limited to college students living in Northeast China. Therefore, it is considered necessary to expand the study to southern China or expand the target country in the future.

Published: May 2023

A current mirror design having high output resistance operating at low supply voltage is proposed in this paper. The low voltage operation is achieved using the flipped voltage follower for current mirroring. The circuit operates at low supply with high swing with low impedance node at its output. As low impedance is one the basic requirement of a current mirror, the flipped voltage follower when used as an input shows reduced impedance. However, the observed output resistance of conventional flipped voltage follower current mirror turns to be around 700K ohm, a low value. So, for its improvement a feedback loop is used at the output of proposed current mirror. This improves the output resistance significantly without deteriorating the other performances like bandwidth to a value of 401M ohm. The proposed current mirror results in input impedance in hundreds of ohms around 330 ohm and bandwidth of 2.4GHz comparatively higher than its conventional design. The complete design is carried out using 180 nanometer-based MOS transistors and the circuit runs at 0.5 volt of dual polarity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize agriculture which impacts a country’s economy, employing more than 30% of the world’s population directly or indirectly. It can fulfill the needs of an ever-growing world’s population through automation. Traditional farmland practices like weeding, pesticide spraying, irrigation, monitoring soil nutritional and moisture status, etc. can be performed quicker using robots, sensors, drones, and algorithms. It reduces water wastage and pesticide overuse, maintains soil fertility, helps in reducing labor and enhances crop yield and productivity despite world problems. However, its penetration into agriculture is still in its infancy due to its uneconomical nature, lack of expertise and big data requirement for accuracy among others. This paper delves deeper into the various applications and impacts of AI in agriculture, new tools being used, challenges and future scope related to this field. Combined with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models and Machine Learning (ML), along with Expert systems (ES) and Internet of Things (IoT), AI can do wonders in agriculture in the subsequent years to come.
The Impact of Gender and Age on the Relationship between Body Mass Index and Hypertension among Middle-Aged Inhabitants of Kolkata, India
Authors: Gupta Anindita
Published: May 2023

More than one billion people are hypertensive worldwide. This makes hypertension an issue of community health. Therefore, it should be our chief concern to identify the risk factors of hypertension and suggest essential preventive measures to reduce this public health burden. Diverse inquiries have uncovered the positive correlation between being overweight, obesity, and dyslipidemia with hypertension. Research suggests that Body Mass Index (BMI) and hypertension demonstrate a significant positive correlation. Excessive weight gain or visceral fat gain is the dominant risk factor for hypertension. Apart from this, several other factors like abdominal adiposity, family history, smoking etc. may be responsible for hypertension. In light of this context, the current article explores the relationship between adult residents of Kolkata's BMI and their hypertension levels. The study was performed among two age groups viz. 35 to 44 years and 45 to 54 years, as the problem is mostly uncommon for the young generation. The sample size of the present investigation was 200, having equal representation from both age and gender groups. The subjects were from middle socio-economic status families as inferred from their occupations. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), height, and weight were quantified. BMI was estimated from the measured height and weight. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients and ‘t’ tests were calculated. Impact of age and gender was determined on BMI and hypertension scores of the subjects. The results of the present study exhibit a constructive and significant association between the relevant variables. The correlation coefficient between body mass index (BMI) and SBP was 0.74, while that between BMI and DBP was 0.734. Both correlations were statistically significant at the 0.01 level of significance. The outcomes of the t-Test indicate that significant differences exist between the BMI, SBP, and DBP scores within the gender groups. The calculated t-values for BMI, SBP, and DBP were 7.946, 7.973, and 5.296, respectively, with all of them being significant at the 0.05 level of significance. Age was found to have no substantial impact on any of the three variables. These findings can aid in identifying individuals at risk and developing preventive strategies to mitigate the prevalence of obesity or overweight and subsequently reduce blood pressure levels among adults.

The Apriori Algorithm is a traditional method for determining the frequent itemsets from a lot of data. Association rules can be generated based on frequently occurring item sets. The Apriori algorithm has two bottlenecks, namely that it generates a large number of candidate sets and that it repeatedly examines the database. It takes a long time to execute and takes up a lot of space. We provide a novel strategy called Matrix Based Apriori Algorithm to get beyond the limitations of Apriori Algorithm. We don't need to constantly scan the database because all operations are first applied to the matrix after which the database is converted back into its original form. In addition, we have reduced the potential itemsets by using several pruning techniques. The Matrix Based Apriori algorithm outperforms the standard Apriori algorithm in terms of time, with an average rate of time reduction of 71.5% with the first experiment and 86% with the second. In a similar vein, we contrasted our Matrix Based Apriori with an effective alternative known as improved apriori. We discovered that our method outperforms the upgraded apriori by 20%.

Published: May 2023

Various ailments have long been treated with plant-based remedies. This research aims to determine which compounds are present in Annona squamosa L. leaves and seeds extracts, as well as their antioxidant and anticancer potential. Annona squamosa L. hexane, methanol, and aqueous extracts were analysed for their phytochemical content, and results showed the existence of many useful compounds. The DPPH assay was used to measure the antioxidant activity. In particular, the low IC50 values revealed that the plant extracts under study possessed remarkable antioxidant activities. Antioxidant phytochemicals such alkaloid, flavonoid, phenol, oil, phytosterol, coumarin, and saponins may be responsible for these benefits. This research shows that extracts of Annona squamosa L. have a high antioxidant activity and promise as a dietary supplement and possible medicinal agent.  MTT assay was used to test for anticancer characteristics. Cell viability was assessed for each extract using a negative control and a positive control (Cisplatin). Both the Annona squamosa L. (seeds) methanolic extract and the Annona squamosa L. (leaves) water extract showed substantial efficacy in this investigation against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. It follows that extracts of Annona squamosa L. (leaves) and (seeds) could be used to create a natural medicine for breast cancer treatment.

Authors: Sharma Renu , Mohan Mamta , Gupta Sandeep Kumar
Published: May 2023

This study aims to find out how emotions influence shoppers’ behaviour in offline retail settings and how they get influenced by different elements. This research makes use of secondary data with an in-depth study of research papers published in the last ten years (the year 2012 onwards) in ABDC category ’A’ research journals. Emotions play a complex role in retail consumption. Personal and interpersonal relationships, atmospheric factors, including messiness & crowding, and the interplay of different emotions exert significant influence on consumer emotions. Positive emotions encourage ethical buying, which in turn gives a boost to positive emotions. Consumer ambivalence is prevalent in luxury shopping where negative emotions complement positive ones. The study is based entirely on secondary data. All the research papers which are a part of this study dealt with shoppers in malls, shopping centres, and retail stores. There is a lack of research in the context of shopping markets and shopping streets. Retailers and marketers can plan their atmospherics, marketing mix, and promotions based on the emotions they wish to engineer amongst shoppers. As the role of emotions varies according to the retail format experiences can be customized and designed to cater to target customers and staff should be trained to understand consumer emotions. An understanding of emotions can help enhance ethical buying which is beneficial for the environment and society.
Computation of the Stabilizing Solution of Nash-Riccati Equations

Consider an iterative modification of the linearized Newton method for computing the minimal nonnegative solution of a
a nonsymmetric Nash-Riccati equation. The equation has arisen in linear quadratic
games for positive systems. The Newton procedure for computing the minimal nonnegative solution is well known in the
the literature. Our proposal is effective one because it employs small number of matrix multiplication at each iteration step and there is a variant to exploit the block structure of matrix coefficients of the Nash-Riccati equation. Moreover, in this reason, it is easy to extend the proposed iterative modification depending on the number of players of a given game model. We provide a numerical example where compare the results from experiment with the proposed iteration an the linearized Newton method.

World Bank recommends that Indonesia lower the turnover threshold required to be a VAT-Registered Business from Rp. 4,8 billion to Rp. 600 million to increase VAT-Registered Businesses numbers which will also increase VAT revenue. The number of VAT-Registered Businesses will be significantly increased, which will push Directorate General of Taxes to determine the correct audit priority because it is impossible to audit all taxpayers. This study aims to form a prediction model for formal compliance of VAT-Registered Businesses in the Sampit Tax Office towards 1270 VAT-registered Businesses as of December 31, 2019, which are classified as low-risk VAT-Registered Businesses. The prediction model will be useful for determining audit priorities for certain taxpayers. This study uses a qualitative method using the RapidMiner application and decision tree technique in making prediction models for VAT-Registered Business compliance. The model made has Prediction Efficiency of 67,9%, reduction in Examination Effort by 63.67%, and Strike Rate of 85.99%. The model made is used to predict new VAT-Registered Business data which registered in 2020 and predicts 76 VAT-Registered Businesses will be compliant and 7 VAT-Registered Businesses will not be compliant
Optimalisasi penerapan Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) dalam mendorong pendapatan negara atas pungutan pajak penghasilan

This study will explore the existence of Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) in the Taxation System in Indonesia, and its role in encouraging income tax in Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the idea that income tax is a tax on increasing wealth, and the Automatic Exchange of Information as an instrument in order to support the trace for the increase in the wealth of each taxpayer, by disclosing the bank account information of every taxpayer, both domestically and in other countries. This research is a normative research by using a conceptual approach and a statute approach. The results of this study are that the Automatic Exchange of Information in the taxation system has a position as a balancing instrument, for the possibility for taxpayers to do tax avoidance on their annual tax reports, by breaking through to the confidentiality aspect. In addition, if the Automatic Exchange of Information policy runs optimally, it will be simultaneously with optimalization of income tax.
The myth of “feeding the world”: Subsidizing agricultural overproduction and industrial technologies, and marginalizing alternatives
Authors: Howard Philip
Published: May 2023

How many times have you heard some version of the phrase “we need to produce more food to feed a growing population”—often attached to impressively precise estimates of the percentage increases and specific dates far into the future? If you’re reading this journal, it’s probably in the thousands, if not more. In this book, Glenn Davis Stone dismantles such claims and shows who is really benefiting from their constant repe­tition (hint: it’s not most of us). He suggests a description of a problem that should be widely repeated instead: overproduction due to massive government subsidies—particularly for input industries—is leading to the runaway industriali­zation of agriculture and its numerous negative impacts. . . .
De la hacienda al socavón: mistis, gran minería y comunidades campesinas en las nuevas luchas territoriales en Colquemarca, (Cusco, Perú) c. 1969-2022
Authors: Cabrera Morales Fabio , Castro Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2023

Este artículo busca analizar y situar el reciente auge de la actividad minera en las comunidades campesinas del distrito de Colquemarca (Cusco, Perú), como un proceso dentro de la trayectoria histórica del empoderamiento político campesino en la región sur andina del Perú. Sostenemos que existe una continuidad entre las luchas por la tierra impulsadas por las comunidades campesinas contra el régimen de hacienda en el siglo XX y las luchas por el acceso y usufructo del subsuelo en los territorios comunales que se llevan a cabo en la actualidad. Esta continuidad se basa en una pugna por el control del territorio que sigue dándose frente a la antigua élite local y a otros actores como el Estado peruano y las grandes empresas mineras, lo cual ha convertido este problema en un eje que articula la actividad política local. En ese sentido, las demandas por el derecho a explotar recursos territoriales –que se amplían, en este caso, desde la tierra a los minerales del subsuelo– son comprendidas por las familias y organizaciones comunales como formas de reivindicación y autodeterminación territorial locales, así como también expresiones de una lucha histórica por una mayor autonomía y soberanía.
A 50 años de la Reforma Agraria peruana en el cine. Aproximaciones metodológicas al regreso de las imágenes a la provincia de Paucartambo, Cusco durante la creación del documental “Buenos días, wiraqocha”
Authors: Godoy Paredes Mauricio José , Guerrero Sara Lucía
Published: May 2023

En 1971 el director sueco Jan Lindqvist realiza en la comunidad de Churo (Cusco, Perú) el documental testimonial Agripino, donde los campesinos de la localidad denuncian en primera persona los abusos a los que se han visto sometidos por el hacendado en un contexto de implementación de la Reforma Agraria. Luego de 50 años, la película regresa a la comunidad y, a partir de ello, decidimos hacer un nuevo filme en la misma zona: Buenos días, wiraqocha. ¿Qué impactos tuvo la ejecución de la Reforma Agraria en las personas que habitaron dicha comunidad?, ¿es posible construir, de forma conjunta, la representación de sus memorias en un documental?, ¿qué metodologías emplear para este nuevo proyecto?
DRTS對民眾使用高鐵進行國內旅遊意願之研究
Authors: 蕭至惠 蕭至惠 , Chih-Hui Hsiao 張簡琬庭
Published: May 2023

本研究旨在探討價格促銷、知覺價值、特定目的式DRTS服務知覺、民眾搭乘台灣高鐵進行國內旅遊之意願，四研究變數之間的關係。本研究共計回收333份有效問卷，以獨立樣本t檢定與ANOVA進行假說之驗證分析。

本文的驗證結果顯示：一、當知覺價值高時，相對於無價格促銷，有價格促銷會導致更高的使用高鐵進行國內旅遊的意願；二、相對於低度特定目的式DRTS服務知覺，高度特定目的式DRTS服務知覺對旅遊意願具有正向影響；三、當特定目的式DRTS服務知覺高時，比起無價格促銷，有價格促銷會導致更高的使用高鐵進行國內旅遊的意願。

 

This research aims to explore the relationships among the four research variables- price promotion, perceived value, service perceived value of destination-specific DRTS, peoples’ willingness to take Taiwan’s HSR for domestic travel.

A total of 333 valid questionnaires were conducted to verify the hypothesis via independent sample t test and ANOVA analysis. The results indicate that: 1. Compared to a lack of price promotion, the presence of promotion can improve the consumers’ willingness to travel by THSR when there is a high perceived value. 2. Compared to a low service perceived value of Destination-specific DRTS, a high service perceived value of Destination-specific DRTS has a more positive influence on the consumers’ willingness to travel. 3. Given a high service perceived value of destination-specific DRTS, the consumers’ willingness to travel by THSR is also higher with price promotions.

Research on the effects of field dependence on learning output and outcome, and the following consumer behavior, has mainly been conducted in the context of physical environment of learning. Little research has been conducted in the context of virtual environment. Using customers who have learned language online within one year before this study as subjects, this study investigates the relationship between field dependence and repurchase intention, and the moderating effect of satisfaction on the above relationship. An online questionnaire was distributed to users of Facebook and Google communities by convenience sampling method. A total of 221 valid responses are collected. The results show that field dependence is positively and significantly related to repurchase intention, and satisfaction is a partial mediator of the relationship between field dependence and repurchase intention. All of the hypotheses are supported. The managerial and theoretical implications of the results are discussed.
