USE OF GADGETS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS BY ADOLESCENTS OF DIFFERENT GENDERS:
GIRLS AS A RISK GROUP
Authors: Gordeeva Tamara , Sychev Oleg , Egorov Vladimir
Published: November 2023

Relevance. The use of social media and gadgets may help to explain
gender differences in adolescents’ subjective well-being, in particular,
the lower well-being of adolescent girls, especially declining in the last decade
(e.g., Twenge & Martin, ). The purpose of the study was to examine
the specifi city of girls’ social media use as a possible source of their lower
well-being. Research Methods and Sample. The study was conducted on a
sample of  Russian high school students (M=., SD=., % boys).
Social media dependence was measured with the Bergen scale (Andreassen
et al., , Kornienko et al., ) (Cronbach’s α=.). The frequency of
daily use of social media and gadgets on the watch and motives for social
media use were also measured. To assess subjective well-being (SWB), questions
assessing usual well-being and the level of happiness over the past day
and two non-verbal scales characterizing attitudes towards school and life
were used. Main results. Social media dependence and SWB aggregate score
showed an inverse correlation (r=-.; p≤.). ANOVA results confi rmed
that increasing time spent on social media and gadgets had a negative impact
on SWB, but well-being only decreased when the time exceeded  hours per
day, which is consistent with past research (Bruggeman et al., ). In order
to examine the associations of these measures with SWB while controlling for
gender, a path model was constructed in which time spent on social media
predicted social media dependence and SWB, and time spent on gadgets predicted
only SWB, with all of these variables and factors dependent on gender.
Evaluation of this model confi rmed its excellent fi t to the data: χ=.;
df=; p≤.; CFI=.; TLI=.; RMSEA=.. It follows from the
obtained model that girls spend signifi cantly more time on social networks
and gadgets, they have more pronounced dependence on social media and this indirectly (along with the direct effect) leads to a decrease in their SWB.
Conclusion. The obtained results correlate with foreign data showing how
the use of social media and gadgets affects the SWB of adolescents of different
genders. The fi ndings have important practical implications, allowing a
better understanding of the factors linking the use of social media, gadgets
and subjective well-being of adolescent girls.

El presente estudio investiga la relación entre la obesidad y los factores dietéticos y de estilo de vida en una población latinoamericana. Se ha identificado la obesidad como un problema de salud global creciente y se ha demostrado que está asociada con una serie de enfermedades crónicas, incluyendo enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y cáncer. Por lo tanto, es esencial investigar los factores que contribuyen a la obesidad y desarrollar estrategias efectivas para prevenirla y tratarla. En la revisión de la literatura se encontró que la dieta rica en alimentos procesados y la falta de actividad física son importantes factores de riesgo para la obesidad. Además, los factores socioeconómicos y demográficos, como la edad, el género y la educación, también pueden influir en el riesgo de obesidad. El objetivo de este estudio es explorar la relación entre la obesidad y los factores dietéticos, de estilo de vida y socioeconómicos en una población latinoamericana. La hipótesis es que una dieta rica en alimentos procesados y un bajo nivel de actividad física estarán asociados con un mayor riesgo de obesidad, mientras que la edad, el género, la educación y el estado socioeconómico también influirán en el riesgo de obesidad.
Assumptions of Theory Z: A Tool for Managing People at Work
Authors: Islam Lt Col Md Enamul , Kalumuthu Prof. Dr. K. Ramanathan
Published: November 2023

Managing people at work is found significant for the survival of enterprises. Researchers and academicians around the globe have established that motivational management "Theory Z" by Dr William G. Ouchi (1981) is an excellent tool for increasing productivity and managing people at work. In the late Bangladeshi business, entrepreneurs are facing tremendous pressure to control and manage workers in their organizations. A focal concern of this study was to understand how best entrepreneurs of textile industries can utilize the assumptions of Theory Z to manage people at work. This study has found three key dimensions (organizational culture, consensus decision-making process, and mutual trust) of Theory Z and tried to find out the relationship of these dimensions with workers management at the workplace. The finding suggests that there is a moderate relationship between the assumption of Theory Z and the human resource management concept in Bangladeshi Textile Industries.   The limitation of the research is that it has only three independent variables. Findings may provide business leaders in these contexts with an understanding of the possible adaptation of the concept of William Ouchi's Theory Z assumptions to manage people (the employees) at the workplace with a view to increase productivity and achieve organizational goals. The results of the study supported the predisposition of enterprise managers’ proclivity of accepting or denying to implement Theory Z assumptions to manage people at work. The research recommends the management of Bangladeshi Textile Industries should seek to improve their propensity to implement the assumptions of Theory Z to manage people and increase productivity.

A computer lab is a place that offers computer services to a specific population. Normally, colleges and universities give a large number of computer labs to their learners. It was an important space for individuals to come for lectures and improve their computer skills. It often has very valuable computers and items. However, sometimes the security elements of a computer lab for some unauthorized employees may not be up to the standard and easy to break. Hence, the idea is to create an advanced security system named “Smart Security Door Using Facial Recognition” for the computer labs in Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara Kuala Lumpur (KUPTM). The system will have three different users, which are the Admin, Lecturer, and Students. Admin would be able to access the database of the system to registers faces of authorized personnel and access the logs of users that access the computer labs. Meanwhile, the lecturer and students would only be able to access the computer labs during lectures. In conclusion, this facial recognition system would help to enhance security and protect the computer labs from a thief or unauthorized personnel.

Published: November 2023

The issue of electrical engineering students had to face difficulties in identifying the characteristics of components often used in their daily lives when doing practical work, such as transistors. We recognise that some students take a long time to complete their practice because they need help determining the transistor type and their pin emitter, collector, and base. Therefore, we came up with the idea to create a tool that will reduce the time for students to do practicals. In this project, we limited the scope to determine the transistor type and the pin. This project is a quick transistor tester. The device's function when we insert the transistor on the pin socket is occupied by the led that we insert as an indicator will show the output whether the transistor is NPN or PNP type. It can also determine the pin of the transistor, whether it is EBC or ECB.

Published: November 2023

Professional accounting examinations among students and mature students were perceived as slightly challenging to pass for several reasons. Some previous empirical studies have compared students' results at the secondary school level and their results at higher education levels. Good students are expected to perform similarly in their higher education during school. In accounting professional examinations like ACCA, past studies have shown that only students with excellent results in secondary school should be allowed to join this programme as many students are having difficulties completing their studies. The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between the student’s past achievement in a secondary school based on the total numbers of A's and distinctions for a particular subject at Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) – a national examination similar to O-Level with their performance in the examination of ACCA. This study focuses on Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech MARA – a private university college in Kuala Lumpur. The methodology used in this study is by collecting data from the Institute of Professional Studies in KUPTM Academic Division database intake from 2015 until 2018. Data were analysed using SPSS Version 23. Our results showed that most students with 6 A’s and above, and A’s in Additional Mathematic subject in SPM is the main contributing factor to graduating in the ACCA examination, followed by distinction A’s in Additional Mathematic and A’s in English subject. Students from science stream backgrounds also contributed to the number of graduating in the ACCA professional examination. Other than that, this study reveals the distinction in Principles of Accounting subject during SPM and factor of gender do not contribute positive impact to be graduated or pass in professional accounting examinations in KUPTM.

Dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, pengenalpastian bahaya, penilaian risiko dan kawalan risiko (HIRARC) telah menjadi asas kepada amalan perancangan, pengurusan dan operasi perniagaan sebagai asas pengurusan risiko. Organisasi yang telah menjalankan penilaian risiko di tempat kerja telah mencatatkan banyak perubahan dalam amalan kerja mereka. Mereka yang telah melaksanakan risiko penilaian di tempat kerja mendapati terdapat perubahan positif dalam amalan kerja mereka. Mereka mengiktiraf akta substandard dan keadaan kerja semasa mereka membangun dan mengambil tindakan pembetulan yang perlu. Dengan HIRARC, seseorang akan mengenal pasti bahaya, menganalisis dan menilai risiko yang berkaitan dan kemudian menggunakan langkah kawalan yang sesuai. Perundangan memerlukan proses ini sistematik, dianalisis, dan direkodkan supaya hasilnya boleh dipercayai.

In recent years, hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control (HIRARC) have become fundamental to the practice of planning, management and the operation of a business as a basic of risk management. The organisations that have carried out risk assessments at the workplace have noted numerous changes in their working practice. Those who have performed the risk assessment at work found there are positive changes in their working practice. They recognise the substandard act and working conditions as they develop and take necessary corrective action. With HIRARC, one will identify the hazard, analyse and assess its associated risk and then apply suitable control measures. Legislation requires that this process be systematic, analysed, and recorded so that the results are reliable.

This study selected eight Online Food Delivery Application (OFDA) platforms operated in Malaysia and further surveyed them to measure their customers' demography and reasons for OFDA preference. Customer demography includes gender, race, age, occupation, and state of residence. While the factors used to measure customer preference for the OFDA are based on standard criteria of customer satisfaction metrics such as user friendly, accessibility, compatibility, and response time. Finally, the customers ranked the OFDA based on additional metrics such as rider service, food quality, price of food, and food arrival time.

Authors: Hornsby Gilpatrick
Published: November 2023

Entrepreneurship is the foundation of the hospitality industry. the study of entrepreneurship has yield three main types of entrepreneurship: a traditional entrepreneur, a lifestyle entrepreneur, and a social entrepreneur. This research sought to determine if these types of entrepreneurs are really as siloed as presented or if there is a gray area between them. No one person was solely one type of entrepreneur (traditional, social, or lifestyle). We present the cases of entrepreneurs existing on a continuum: A lifestyle-traditional entrepreneur, a traditional-social entrepreneur, and a social-lifestyle entrepreneur. If classified by also the prevalence of one typology over another, it is possible for 6 different types of entrepreneurs to be identified. Not all entrepreneurs go on to open their own business. Some individuals with a strong entrepreneurial spirit go on to be successful in the corporate world. If the hospitality industry is to better understand the motivations behind these individuals, they may better be able to match them with tasks and projects.

Human resources are an important asset for the hospitality industry; however, long working hours, low pay, and demanding customers are known to increase hospitality employees’ job stress. Work stress contributes to a high turnover rate in the hospitality industry; thus, it is critical for hospitality practitioners to understand work-related stressors and aid employees in coping with their stress. Challenge stressors can be viewed as beneficial to employees, while hindrance stressors tend to bring little benefit to employees. Through a survey of 232 hotel employees, we examined the role of psychological capital in the association between job stressors and employee burnout and engagement. We found that employees who are high in psychological capital embrace challenge stressors as opportunities rather than simple, stressful situations. This positive mindset towards challenge stressors helps employees to concentrate on their work. At the same time, psychological capital reduces the feeling of job stress. People high in psychological capital experience much slower growth in stress when facing various types of job demands. In other words, they are more resilient to work stress. Management should consider offering official companywide training with appropriate activities in order to bolster their employees’ personal resource, “psychological capital”, and monitor the effectiveness of their training on a regular basis.
Do All Angry Customers Complain?
Authors: Min Hyounae (Kelly) , Kim Hyun Jeong
Published: November 2023

Customer complaints can shed light on organizations’ key performance practices, providing useful information for organizations to learn from their mistakes Since customer complaints should be regarded as a learning opportunity, it is important to identify what drives customer complaints. Through experimental designs using a failed service in the restaurant, we investigated whether all angry customers complain to the service provider and if not, what prevents them from raising their voice. Results showed that customers who felt powerful complained about a service failure as soon as they were angry; on the other hand, customers who felt powerless were not comfortable making face-to-face complaints in the restaurant although they were very upset. Hospitality practitioners who wish to learn from customer complaints must find ways to encourage customers to speak up when service failures occur. One simple way to enhance customer sense of power in the restaurant setting is to manipulate the menu. Our experiment showed that a subtle phrase embedded in a menu can affect customers’ sense of power. Our findings suggested that participants in the low-power condition indeed complained less in public, reducing opportunities for the service providers to hear from customers. Hospitality companies should understand the effect of power on customer behavior to increase customer feedback.
Designing a resilient supply chain through a robust adaptive model predictive control policy under perishable goods and uncertain forecast information
Authors: Ietto Beatrice , orsini valentina
Published: November 2023

We consider the inventory control problem for Supply Chains (SC) with deteriorating items and an uncertain future customer demand freely varying inside a given compact set. The problem is to deﬁne a resilient Replenishment Policy (RP) keeping the actual inventory level as close as possible to a desired reference trajectory. This requirement should be satisﬁed despite uncertainties on the decay factor of stocked goods and unexpected customer demand patterns outside the bounds of the compact set. We propose a method based on a Resilient Robust Model Predictive Control (RRMPC) approach. This requires dealing with a Min-Max Constrained Optimization Problem (MMCOP). To reduce the numerical complexity of the algorithm, the control signal is parametrized using B-spline functions.
