Authors: Sadiku Kosovare Mustafa 
Published: July 2022

<p>With the rapid development of technology, different businesses, in addition to operating in their country of origin, now have much easier to establish this activity in different countries. Certainly, there are many external and internal factors that affect the performance of businesses and we, in this paper are focused on socio-cultural factors that affect the performance of the international business in terms of literature review. From the review of various literatures, we have come to the conclusion that the key factors that affect the performance of an international business are: 1) Culture; 2) Language; 3) Level of education, 4) Customer preferences. Socio-cultural aspects are one of the most important environmental factors that have a considerable impact on international business economic activity and performance. Furthermore, managers of foreign subsidiaries have no control over socio-cultural issues. The goal of this research is to explain how certain socio-cultural aspects influence the performance of overseas subsidiaries. The contribution of the article is shown in the determination of essential socio-cultural characteristics that international business considers in order to evaluate the actual performance of foreign subsidiaries and their management, based on the acquired results.</p><p><strong>JEL:</strong> L20; L23</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Authors: Başaslan Zaim , Aydın Bayram Oğuz 
Published: July 2022

Due to the spiral of human-technology-society-communication, today's society has experienced, perhaps, the fastest and most extreme change in human history in the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of technological life, so ingrained in the culture of living as a community, has come to affect the way we live, think and even die. In this study, the effect of technology has been specifically examined on the basis of the dominance of the concept of ideology on the phenomenon of community. Then, the effects of ideology on online social networking groups were studied. The state of harmony and opposition that emerged in society and human behavior with the effect of technology has been the aim parameters of this study. Its methodological structure was designed with the Netnographic research method, and online social networking groups on the Facebook platform created the specific study area of the research. In the Constitutional Amendment Referendum held in Turkey on April 16, 2017, it was observed that the votes of individuals active in social networks were determined by the famous names they identify with. Therefore, it has been seen that ideological conformity behavior occurs with identification in the context of elections.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0966/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION ON PERFORMANCE OF BAR AND RESTAURANT BUSINESSES IN NAIROBI COUNTY, KENYA DURING COVID-19 CRISIS
Authors: Odhiambo Erastus Ngura 
Published: July 2022

<p>The recent Covid-19 crisis has wreaked havoc on the performance of businesses in the whole world. The most hit is the hospitality industry, especially the bar &amp; restaurant businesses, which are considered high human density areas. This study sought to examine the influence of technology &amp; innovation as a survival strategy on the performance of bars &amp; restaurants in Nairobi County, Kenya, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was based on diffusion of innovation theory and business resilience theory. The population under study was a total of 6,383 licensed bar &amp; restaurant businesses in Nairobi County. The study adopted a survey design and a sample of 100 dive bars &amp; restaurants that was representative of the whole population was selected. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models and used textual explanation, and charts to present the results. The study achieved a response rate of 89%, which was sufficient for generalization. The study found that the crisis had a major negative impact on profitability, staff reputation, supplier relationship, compliance and public reputation. It also noted that there was a loss of jobs and revenue from the establishments due to the crisis. The study noted that technology &amp; innovation had a significant negative influence on business performance when adopted during a crisis. The study recommended that the government consider allocating a stimulus package to cushion businesses during the crisis as the finding noted the loss of revenue and massive job losses in the sector. Secondly, the government and investors should have a general crisis management policy for bar &amp; restaurant businesses during the crisis as the study noted that performance was affected negatively attributable to non-preparedness or lack of policy. The study further recommended that the investors adopt mission-critical strategies earlier in their business cycle as opposed to adopting them only during a crisis, as the study noted that adopting rush strategies does not yield any positive influence on the performance. For the scholars, the study also recommended a further exploratory study on more factors influencing the performance of bar &amp; restaurant businesses during crisis so that the subsequent studies will have an exhaustive list of strategies to examine.</p><p> </p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: L10; L20; J10</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0947/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF THE RUNNING-BASED ANAEROBIC SPRINT TEST FOR EVALUATING ANAEROBIC POWER PERFORMANCE AS COMPARED TO WINGATE TEST IN INDIAN MALE TRACK AND FIELD SPRINTERS
Authors: Chatterjee Subhra , Chakraborty Sounak , Chatterjee Subhojit 
Published: July 2022

<p><strong>Aim</strong>: To investigate the criterion validity and relative and absolute reliability of the running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) in Indian male track and field sprinters. <strong>Material and Methods</strong>: Thirty five (n = 35) Indian male sprinters participating in 100m, 200 m and 400 m sprint racing randomly performed RAST and Wingate test as the criterion measure of anaerobic power with one trial each on two separate days. Data were analyzed using the Student’s paired <em>t</em>-test, Pearson’s linear correlation test, intra-class correlation coefficients and Bland and Altman’s plots. <strong>Results</strong>: Criterion validity was strong and positively significant for average power (<em>r </em>= 0.644, <em>p </em>&lt; 0.000); however, the RAST significantly overestimated maximum and minimum anaerobic power compared to Wingate as revealed by paired t-test. The RAST showed good relative reliability for average power, ICC = 0.628 (0.373 - 0.795: 95% CI) and the higher internal consistency was found only for average anaerobic power value (α = 0.772). In the Bland-Altman analyses, linear regression analyses revealed that both means of differences and limits of agreement were found to be low in cases of average and minimum values of anaerobic power and fatigue index and the results were also not found to be statistically significant, resulting in good reliability. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The RAST is a practicable field test to estimate levels of average anaerobic power of track and field sprinters. Coaches and trainers can use RAST for anaerobic power assessment that does not require the use of sophisticated and expensive equipment.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0935/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The aim of this study is to examine the post-exercise recovery knowledge levels of fitness trainers in terms of various variables. 150 fitness trainers (103 men, 47 women) were included in the study on a voluntary basis. A structured questionnaire consisting of two parts was used as the data collection method in the research. In the first part of the form, a questionnaire consisting of questions determining the descriptive features was applied, and in the second part, the Sports Recovery Knowledge Test developed by Aydemir et al. was used. The validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Aydemir et al. in 2020. SPSS statistical program was used for the statistical analysis of the obtained data. As a result of the analysis of the data, no significant difference was found between the participants' knowledge levels of recovery in sports in terms of gender variable (p&lt;0.05). On the other hand, a significant difference was found between the age variable and the level of recovery knowledge in favor of the groups aged 26 and over (p&lt;0.05). Similarly, when educational status, level of experience and experience, and recovery knowledge levels were compared, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of those with good education, advanced level and high experience (p&lt;0.05). As a result; It can be said that fitness trainers with good education, experienced and upper-level coaching certificates have better recovery knowledge levels. Based on this result, it is thought that increasing the training levels of fitness trainers, as well as raising their levels and increasing their experience, may contribute to the increase in quality.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0986/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study was to establish how head-teachers’ classroom visitation influences students’ performance in public junior schools in Keren Sub-zone. The study was guided by systems theory and employed mixed-method approaches with a concurrent triangulation design. The study targeted public junior schools in Keren Sub-zone Anseba Region. Systematic sampling, simple random sampling and purposeful sampling were used to select 44 teachers, 326 students, five head-teachers, and two Educational Officers of the Keren Sub-zone. A total of 377 respondents took part in the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and students, whereas interview was conducted to get information from head-teachers and Educational Officers. The quantitative data was analysed descriptively with the help of SPSS Version 21 and reported in frequency tables and percentages. The qualitative data was organized into themes based on the research questions and reported in a narrative form and direct quotations. The study established that in the high-performing schools, head-teachers practiced the classroom visitation activities better than those in poorly performing schools thus the reason for low performance in some public junior schools in Keren Sub-zone. The study concluded that in low-performing schools, head-teachers have not been considering some of the key classroom visitation practices such as supervision by walking around, monitoring of students’ discipline, and physical lesson observation. The study recommended that the ministry of education intensify supervision in the public junior schools to strengthen the quality of instructional supervision by the head-teachers. The study suggested that a similar study be done in other sub-zones in Eritrea to find out if the same findings can be established.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0955/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
AUDIENCE RECEPTION OF ALCOHOL ABUSE MESSAGES AMONG THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED IN KENYA
Authors: Abook Brian , Mulwo Abraham Kiprop , Njoroge Fredrick 
Published: July 2022

Visual impairment is viewed as one of the most threatening disabilities. About 40-50 per cent of the people with disabilities who have visual impairment may be categorized as heavy drinkers. Most studies conducted to establish the information needs of visually impaired people have concentrated on the format of the information. Yet, accessible health information is key to reducing health inequalities in health care experienced among the visually impaired. Very few empirical studies have examined the health information needs of the visually impaired. Some of the gaps related to the types of health information include non-format aspects like the content type, timing and sender of the messages. This study investigates the audience reception of alcohol abuse messages among the visually impaired in Kenya. Using a purposive sampling procedure, 25 participants with visual impairment were identified from rehabilitation centres and institutions for the PWDs within Nairobi County. Data was generated through in-depth interviews, then recorded, transcribed, analyzed thematically, and presented in narrative form according to the themes. Study findings indicate that people with visual impairment were unconformable with the way media consistently portrays them as needing assistance and as an instrument of sympathy to elicit mercy. The visually impaired face difficulties satisfying their information needs through media content that focuses more on visuals and less on audio description. Their exclusion made them perceive that messages were only targeting the general population and thus were not as effective. Nevertheless, they sought assistance from intermediaries such as religious leaders, local authorities, teachers, friends, and close family members when they faced difficulty interpreting messages. Intermediaries largely buffered their challenges in interpreting messages. Apart from tailoring messages to suit the needs of the visually impaired, there is a need to involve them in actively developing and disseminating messages in Kenya.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0587/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
