Accordingly, it was indicated that customers with higher degrees of self-esteem showed firmer willingness and action in luxury purchase intentions, and peer influence remarkably impacted their conspicuous consumption. In brief, self-esteem and peer influence are both key players in luxury consumption.Researches have revealed that consumers buy articles of luxury, in an attempt to satisfy the demands for materials and improve their self-worth and social positions. Luxury consumption is prominently impacted by collective self-esteem, since consumers believe that when they purchase luxury goods, their social position and personal image will improve. Moreover, peer correlations exert a highly important effect on young customers, which is deeply intensified by social media and celebrity effects.According to the findings, luxury brands need to take into consideration these points with regard to developing marketing tactics: for starters, meeting the demands of customers with discrepant degrees of self-esteem through individualized marketing tactics, with a focus on the product uniqueness and brand recognition. Secondly, through the transmission of brand stories and values, enhance emotional connections among consumers. Finally, leverage the influence of social media and opinion leaders to attract and retain young consumers.

Post-Soviet Destabilization as a Struggle between Autocratic and Democratic Trends
Authors: Ordukhanyan Emil , Ananyan Gohar
Published: October 2024

The research paper explores the struggle between democratic and autocratic diffusions in post-Soviet space, reveals their peculiarities and emphasizes the upcoming trends, especially by taking into consideration the situations emerged after successful democratic improvements and progress in some former soviet republics. The comparative analysis of social and political processes in post-Soviet space showcases that some authoritarian states such as Russia and Azerbaijan, consistently play a destabilizing role and engender new challenges not only for democratization but also for stability and peace-building in conflicting zones. The research is focused on the study of Ukrainian, Georgian, and Armenian post-Soviet experiences as states with democratic vision challenged by their autocratic neighbors that persistently threaten democratic ones by violating their territorial integrity and sovereignty. To overcome these challenges, post-Soviet democratization needs to be protected from both inside and outside. Only in this case the foreign policies’ diversification in post-Soviet democratic states will succeed and the dependence of democratic rulers on autocratic ones will considerably decrease. In this regard, mainly Russia is very sensitive to this circumstance because such developments will lead to the fall of its geopolitical hegemony in post-Soviet space. If Russia succeeds in destroying democratic trends in post-Soviet space, it will not only keep its influence over other countries but also push them back to the authoritarian rule.

Published: October 2024

Offshore oil and gas fields are among the largest contributors to global oil and gas production. The reliable functioning of these facilities relies heavily on the reliability of the process equipment. Managing and operating offshore equipment is inherently complex, requiring careful planning to ensure maximum uptime and minimal downtime. This study addresses a significant gap in knowledge by comparing the effectiveness of manual and automated methods for tracking the uptime hours of offshore equipment. Using a mixed-methods approach that incorporates quantitative and comparative data analysis, the research assesses the impact of each tracking method on equipment reliability, maintenance costs, and production efficiency. The findings indicate that both methods exhibit high level of accuracy and consistency, with minor differences, confirming the reliability of both methods. However, the study reveals that the automated tracking system, which demonstrated more significant data consistency across shifts when compared to the manual approach, offers substantial advantages, including reduced human error, improved data collection efficiency, and enhanced maintenance scheduling. These benefits, result in improved equipment reliability, lower maintenance costs, optimized maintenance management and greater production efficiency. The study recommends the use of automated logging systems, regular calibration, and maintenance of automated systems, and combining data from both approaches for cross-verification. To ensure accuracy and consistency across all equipment and shifts, it is advised that personnel involved in manual logging receive enhanced training and that logging procedures undergo continuous improvement.

Structure Analysis and Forecast of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Exports to Australia Under the Perspective of Product Segmentation
Authors: Ding Shulin
Published: October 2024

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a precious treasure of China has played an indispensable role in combating the COVID-19 epidemic, and receiving widespread attention and high regard. The Chinese pharmaceutical industry is gradually on the Road of Revival. However, there are still many bottlenecks restricting internationalization of TCM. How to specifically expand the international market, optimize product structure, and enhance the competitiveness of TCM exports are key and difficult issues. In light of this, this article selects "Australia" as a typical region with a solid foundation for the development of TCM, and innovatively classifies TCM products into four major categories based on its market access policies. By applying STATA to construct an ARIMA model, this study analyzes and forecasts the total export volume of TCM to Australia, the export structure of each category, and the export value for the Q3 2024-Q2 2026 based on data from 2016 to Q2 2024. The results reveal that there is significant potential in the Australian market for the export of TCM. However, the export structure is heavily skewed towards primary products, with the growth rate of high-value-added products being relatively slow. Consequently, it is recommended to increase investment in the research and development of TCM, enhance consumer education to address cultural differences, promote the export of high-value-added products, strengthen the docking of international standards and export certification of products, reinforce brand building and bolster government guidance and talent cultivation to enhance the international competitiveness of the TCM.

Telecommunication is one of the most fast-paced and rapidly changing sectors globally. This study develops a total quality management (TQM) framework for mobile network operation centres (NOC) to aid in network surveillance and fault management processes for a 5G transmission network. A systematic literature review was conducted using academic articles in journals and conference papers sourced from the EBSCOHost database. A fuzzy analytic hierarchical process (FAHP) was used as a multi-criteria decision-making tool to determine which criteria and factors are of the highest ranking for the development of the TQM framework. Data collection and control sheets were ranked higher, making them critical to the framework. This shows that, without good data, no problems can be identified, visualised, analysed, and solved and processes will not be improved. Process improvement is ranked last, showing it is of the lowest priority compared to the other criteria. This however, does not imply that in TQM it is of lower priority, as it is needed to keep meeting the needs of the customers. The framework includes how the TQM tools and techniques can be used in collecting, visualising, analysing, solving problems, and improving processes.
