It was difficult to ignore domain importance field of IoT with the new deployment of applications such as smartphone in recent days. The most important layer in architecture of IoT is network layer, because of various systems (perform of cloud computing, switching, hub, gateway, so on), different technologies of connection (Long-Term Evolution (LTE), WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.) gathered in layer. Network layers should transfer the information from or to various applications/objects, via gateways/interfaces between networks that are heterogeneous, therefore utilizing different connection technologies, protocols. Recent work highlighted IoT technologies state-of-the-art utilized in architectures of IoT, some variations among them in addition to the applications of them in life."

Recently economists have expressed increasing interest in studying the determinants of happiness. Their main task has been to identify economic and non-economic sources of well-being to define policies aimed at maximising happiness in nations. As yet, it has not been precisely explained why ‘happiness economics’ is actually a part of economic science. In this article, we show that happiness can be an economic concept providing a critical review of the literature on (a) economic applications of happiness data and (b) economic consequences of happiness. Happiness data have been used to analyse microeconomic phenomena and to value non-market goods. Happiness may act as a determinant of economic outcomes: it increases productivity, predicts one’s future income and affects labour market performance. A growing number of happiness studies indicate a role of personality traits in understanding the link between well-being and economic outcomes.

The Impact

The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and methodological principles of happiness economics on the students' example. Authors have interpreted the topic as an innovative branch. This direction involves accumulation of information in a field of management, which is aimed at achieving certain economic effects. An origin of these effects lies among the growth of social happiness. Authors built a conceptual model of managerial influences: students' happiness → happiness of university staff → happiness in education environment → happiness of the country. The focus was on the study of certain happiness aspects among the students. Authors developed a questionnaire, in which took part 107 students. Statistical analysis showed high respondents' exposure to happiness and high frequency of being in this state (76.6% noted a feeling of sincere joy during last three days). Among the top attributes of happiness are: health, inner harmony, understanding of loved ones. Less important attributes are: wealth, success and friends. The reason for low estimated friends is quarantine restrictions ─ limited communication with classmates. So the impact of the factor "frequent communication with classmates" on student's satisfaction with the university environment was statistically insignificant (Pearson Chi-Square = 0.960; p = 0.328). Also was proved that the happiest students help their classmates (Pearson Chi-Square = 26.4; p <0.001). Getting help contributes to the happiness of its recipients too (Pearson Chi-Square = 10.3; p <0.002). Moreover, higher level of satisfaction in university takes place among female students rather than male students (p = 0.007); those who are content with class schedule than those who are uncomfortable with it (p = 0.012); those that have good marks than those who do not (p = 0.005). COVID-19 caused significant problems in process of education. TOP-3 things that are needed for the student to be absolutely happy in some ways, due to the quarantine conditions. They are: internship in other countries; employment; offline classes. Results of the research are consistent with the conclusions of the leading institutions, in particular with the results published by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, which worked on a representative sample of Ukrainians in 2020.Also, they can serve as a guide for the management of higher education institutions, and hence for scientists to find ways to increase student happiness.

The Capability Approach

Abstract: This paper aims to make a theoretical review on the main approaches to Well-being and also introduce the subject of Responsibility as an element to be considered in this discussion. Thus, three theories of well-being are presented: the Mainstream Economics, the Happiness Economics and The Capability Approach. Each of them provides considerations about what matters for people’s life and social development. However, none of them contemplates individual responsibility as a relevant component for development. And only The Capability Approach takes account of responsibility, but without furthering the subject. In this sense, the theme of responsibility is defended as having an important role for development and well-being, and could be incorporated by The Capability Approach.

Este artículo primero aborda temas relevantes para la forma en que actualmente se realizan los estudios de Economía de la Felicidad y más tarde muestra que para WS Jevons y FY Edgeworth, autores neoclásicos fundamentales, el objetivo de la Economía era maximizar la felicidad. En esto, coinciden con los economistas actuales que trabajan en esta área de investigación. Se muestra que el interés por la felicidad no es nuevo, sino que se apoya en una importante tradición económica vinculada a la filosofía utilitaria que data de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.

Happiness Economics

AbstractHappiness economics as advocated by Frijters et al. makes three assumptions: that policy should be based on facts about the net effect of a factor on happiness; that wellbeing policy should be technocratic and centralized; and that the only credible objections come from critics who do not value happiness. We argue that all three should be rejected and that the science and policy of wellbeing should instead be pluralistic, context-sensitive and participatory.
