The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the strategic orientations of organizations have an impact on the resilience levels of employees in the digitalized world. The sample for this research is based on the convenience sampling method. In this study, the sub-factors of strategic orientation, namely innovation, technological orientation, customer focus, and competitor focus, are examined, and their potential effects on resilience are analyzed. Our research emphasizes the importance of psychological resilience in organizations that undergo continuous changes due to the impact of digital transformation, as it enhances employee performance and has positive implications for firms. The field study associated with this research was conducted on 316 individuals working in the service sector in the context of Turkey. The data collected for the research were analyzed using SPSS 25 software. The research findings indicate that the components of strategic orientation have an impact on the levels of psychological resilience.
The study focuses on the employees’ behavioral intentions towards the usage of disruptive technology in the industry. The digital technology application in consumer, retail, and hospitality, education and training, financial services, the health sector, infrastructure, government, and airports. The study objectives were to explore the possible adoption of innovation and creativity changes and their acceptance by the employees in the organization. To identify the variables impacting behavioral intention and analyze how these variables relate to perceived usefulness, attitude, perceived ease of use, facilitating conditions, and technology optimism. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 335 respondents, who were selected based on their relevance to the study objectives. The questionnaires were distributed through the Google Forms application, and the data were collected and analyzed periodically. The findings of the study provide valuable insights into the behavioral intention towards disruptive technologies in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya locations in Malaysia and highlight the significance of factors such as perceived usefulness, attitude, perceived ease of use, facilitating conditions, and technology optimism. The research contributes to the existing body of knowledge on Industry 4.0 by providing empirical evidence and practical implications for organizations seeking to leverage disruptive technologies in their operations management.
This paper attempts to shed light on the current role of academia in the context of rural areas of low population density, which are regional interaction models. In this study, we follow a qualitative research methodology of a case study. We found that through the case study applied to a hotel unit, that the Academia can through its third mission, and in the context of regional triple helix dynamics (Academia-Business-government interaction), play an important role in terms of knowledge dissemination, wealth creation and employability. The limitations, which our study presents, are principally related to the measurement of the variables. Some of the characteristics of education should be studied more deeply. In the instance of a case study applied to the hospitality industry, it is important to take as limitations of the study to its direct application to any economic context. This study allowed however, contribute to the enrichment of literature through case studies presented in the hospitality industry.
To study the environment of the Kipushi mining locality (LMK), the evolution of its landscape was observed using Landsat images from 2000 to 2020. The evolution of the landscape was generally modified by the unplanned expansion of human settlements, agricultural areas, associated with the increase in firewood collection, carbonization, and exploitation of quarry materials. The problem is that this area has never benefited from change detection studies and the LMK area is very heterogeneous. The objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of classification algorithms and apply change detection to highlight the degradation of the LMK. The first approach concerned the classifications based on the stacking of the analyzed Landsat image bands of 2000 and 2020. And the second method performed the classifications on neo-images derived from concatenations of the spectral indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Building Index (NDBI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). In both cases, the study comparatively examined the performance of five variants of classification algorithms, namely, Maximum Likelihood (ML), Minimum Distance (MD), Neural Network (NN), Parallelepiped (Para) and Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM). The results of the controlled classifications on the stacking of Landsat image bands from 2000 and 2020 were less consistent than those obtained with the index concatenation approach. The Para and DM classification algorithms were less efficient. With their respective Kappa scores ranging from 0.27 (2000 image) to 0.43 (2020 image) for Para and from 0.64 (2000 image) to 0.84 (2020 image) for DM. The results of the SAM classifier were satisfactory for the Kappa score of 0.83 (2000) and 0.88 (2020). The ML and NN were more suitable for the study area. Their respective Kappa scores ranged between 0.91 (image 2000) and 0.99 (image 2020) for the LM algorithm and between 0.95 (image 2000) and 0.96 (image 2020) for the NN algorithm.
In this work, the structural transformations of a suboxide vacuum-deposited film of SiO1.3 composition annealed in an inert atmosphere in a wide temperature range of 100 °C–1100 °C were characterized by the reflection-transmission spectroscopy technique. The experimental spectroscopic data were used to obtain the spectra of the absorption coefficient α(hν) in the absorption edge region of the film. Based on their processing, the dependences of Urbach energy EU and optical (Tauc) bandgap Eo on the annealing temperature were obtained. An assessment of the electronic band gap (mobility gap) Eg was also carried out. Analysis of these dependences allowed us to trace dynamics of thermally stimulated disproportionation of the suboxide film and the features of the formation of nanocomposites consisting of amorphous and/or crystalline silicon nanoparticles in an oxide matrix.
The objective of this research was to analyze several reading and writing methods used in educational settings, evaluating their pedagogical approaches and their effectiveness in the process of learning to read and write in school-age children. A systematic review was carried out in the open databases Dialnet and ScieELO, using different inclusion and exclusion criteria, which resulted in 164 documents, applying the PRISMA protocol, 20 were selected. A narrative synthesis analysis was carried out on the following dimensions: reading and writing methods, applied strategies, similarities with other methods and impact on the development of literacy. It is concluded that the combined application of the methods of synthetic and analytical approaches to reading and writing paves the way to attend to the diversity of learning styles, facilitates the strengthening of specific linguistic skills, and strengthens reading comprehension and writing competence.
