Terms and Conditions are always encountered when using social media applications to determine which data can be accessed and what cannot.  However, there are shortcomings in their implementation and communication, often causing users to be unwilling to read them. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing partial consent in Terms and Conditions concerning user Data Awareness and Data Security in social media. This Paper administered a questionnaire, distributed with a form, to students who use social media to understand their opinions regarding the partial consent concept. This paper analyzed the data using descriptive statistical methods. The results show a positive response from respondents towards implementing the partial consent concept, the users feel the terms and conditions are more effective in increasing user data awareness and security.

Cultural tourism, an important component of the wider tourism industry, has received significant attention due to the complex interplay between cultural heritage and tourism experiences. This form of tourism invites tourists to discover the arts, traditions, and lifestyles of diverse communities, thereby enriching intercultural encounters. Examining the rapidly evolving field of cultural tourism research, this article looks at its many facets, highlighting its growth, thematic focus, and global importance. In order to better understand the wealth and highlight the body of work, this study undertakes a bibliometric analysis of the concept of cultural tourism. This exploration employs bibliometric searching of journals indexed in the web of science database from 1996 to 2023, using the biblioshiny software in rstudio. This approach provides a global perspective, revealing a prolific and multidisciplinary production of the concept of cultural tourism. The study identifies a total of 369 articles published between 1996 and 2023, involving 781 authors and 244 journals. The results underline the widespread engagement with the subject across diverse scientific communities and geographical regions.

This paper uses existing studies to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements enhance recruitment, retention, and the effective management of a diverse workforce in South Africa. The extensive literature review revealed key themes used to contextualize the study. This study uses a meta-narrative approach to literature to review, critique and express what the literature says about the role of AI in talent recruitment, retention and diversity mapping within South Africa. An unobtrusive research technique, documentary analysis, is used to analyze literature. The findings reveal that South Africa’s Human Resource Management (HRM) landscape, marked by a combination of approaches, provides an opportunity to cultivate alternative methods attuned to contextual conditions in the global South. Consequently, adopting AI in recruiting, retaining, and managing a diverse workforce demands a critical examination of the colonial/apartheid past, integrating contemporary realities to explore the potential infusion of contextually relevant AI innovations in managing South Africa’s workforce.

Over the past decade, the integration of technology, particularly gamification, has initiated a substantial transformation within the field of education. However, educators frequently confront the challenge of identifying suitable competitive game-based learning platforms amidst the growing emphasis on cultivating creativity within the classroom and effectively integrating technology into pedagogical practices. The current study examines students and faculty continuous intention to use gamification in higher education. The data was collected through an online survey with a sample size of 763 Pakistani respondents from various universities around Pakistan. The structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and to investigate how continuous intention to use gamification is influenced by, extended TAM model with inclusion of variables such as task technology fit, social influence, social recognition and hedonic motivation. The results have shown that task technology has no significant influence on perceived usefulness (PU) where as it has a significant influence on perceived ease of use (PEOU). Social influence (SI) indicates no significant influence on perceived ease of use. Social recognition (SR) indicates positive influence on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and continuous intention. The dimensional analysis indicated that perceived ease of use has insignificant influence on perceived usefulness. Both PEOU and PU exhibit positive influence on attitude. Hedonic motivation (HM) and attitude were observed to have a positive influence on continuous intention (CI). Moreover, gamification is found to efficiently and effectively achieve meaningful goals by tapping intrinsic motivation of the users through engaging them in playful experiences.

The world has changed to a massive degree in the past thousands of years. Most of the time, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remains constant. In the late 18th century, according to the sources of CDIAC and NOOA, the level of carbon dioxide began to rise, and then in the 20th century, it went through the roof, reaching levels that had not been seen in nature for millions of years. The increase in carbon in the atmosphere is the major contributing factor to climate change. The key to reversing the damage is restoring the earth’s delicate, balanced carbon cycle. As carbon cycle depicts the way carbon moves around the earth. It consists of sources that emit the carbon component into the atmosphere. The biological side of the carbon cycle is well balanced due to respiration, where carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, then plants, bacteria, and algae take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis and the process they use to generate chemical energy. On the other hand, oceans are the best sources and sinks; carbon dioxide is endlessly being absorbed into the ocean and released from the oceans almost exactly at the same rate, which is rapidly influencing the carbon cycle. Similarity is a methodology that has many applications in the real world. The current research article is destined to study how statistics of carbon emission metrics are alike and belong to one cluster. In the current study, the research is destined to derive a similarity analysis of several countries’ carbon emission metrics that are alike and often fall in the range of [0, 1]. And deriving the proximity of the carbon emission metrics leading to similarity or dissimilarity. In the current context of data matrices of numerical data, an Euclidian measure of distance between two data elements will yield a degree of similarity. The current research article is destined to study the similarity analysis of carbon emission metrics through fuzzy entropy clustering.

In Industry 4.0, the business model innovation plays a crucial role in enabling organizations to stay competitive and capitalize on the opportunities presented by digital transformation. Industry 4.0 is driven by digitalization and characterized by integrating various emerging technologies. These technologies can potentially change traditional business models and create new value propositions for customers. This paper aims to analyze and review the research papers through a bibliometric approach scientifically. The data were extracted from reputable Clarivate Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection sources from 2010 to 2023 (June). However, the publication started in 2018 for the research fields. The results show that scientific publications on research domains have increased significantly from 2020. VOSviewer, R Language, and Microsoft Excel were utilized for analysis. Bibliometric and Scientometric approaches conducted to determine and explore the publication patterns with significant keywords, topical trends, and content clustering better discussions of the publication period. The visualization of the data set related to research trends of Industry 4.0 in relation to Business Model Innovation resulted in several co-occurrence clusters namely: 1) Business Model Innovation; 2) Industry 4.0; 3) Digital transformation; and 4) Technology implementation and analysis. The study results would identify worldwide research trends related to the research domains and recommendations for future research areas.
