This paper briefly outlines the procedures that were undertaken in the development of the Future Relationships Scale (FRS) and discusses its possible application potential. An analysis of the existing literature on Family and Relationship therapy and established diagnostic measurement scales in the area, failed to locate an instrument that could aid in the measuring of perceptions of adolescents of the components that help to make an adult intimate relationship functional. This area was seen by the authors to be important particularly in the light of the development of school based Human Relationships Education. As a result a questionnaire was devised and administered to Year 12 students across three State high schools in Central Queensland. The questionnaire comprised 5 main parts. Part 1 obtained data on a number of independent variables. Part 2 was designed as an open-ended statement that sought Year 12 students' opinions about the components of functional relationships. Part 3 was the Future Relationships Scale. Parts 4 and 5 contained established scales that provided further information on independent variables and validation for the Future Relationships Scale. Analyses of the data indicated that the FRS is worthy of further development, and that Future Relationships was related to the sex and academic aspirations of the student, Personal Beliefs, and Family Assessment. The FRS would appear to be a potentially viable instrument for use in educational guidance and counselling.

Teenage years determines success in the future. Good teenagers are who are responsible to their own success in the future, known as future orientation. Given how important future orientation is, researchers examined variables which affect future orientation, thus future orientation can be optimalized. Dimensions of social support and self-efficacy chosen as independent variables. Respondents of this study were 326 students of one of high school in Jakarta. Future orientation, measured using Orientation Test–Revised developed by Scheir, Carver, and Bridges (1994). Social Support, measured using The Social Provisions Scale developed by Cutrona and Russel (1987). Self-efficacy, measured using General Self-efficacy Scale developed by Bosscher and Smit (1998). Instruments' validity were tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and data was analysed using Multiple Regression Analysis. α=0.05, result of this study shows future orientation was affected by dimensions of social support, self-efficacy, and interaction between reassurance and self-efficacy with R-square = 30.3%.

This research aims to determine the effect of the reporting system and the clarity of the budget target on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies, the formulation of the problem in this study is whether there is an effect on the reporting system and clarity of budget targets on the accountability of Aceh Government performance both simultaneously and partially.Data collection uses a questionnaire, and is analyzed qualitatively and converted into quantitative data using a Likert Scale. Data analysts to see the effect of dependent variables with independent variables using analysis of multiple linear regression equations.The population of this study amounted to 84 respondents, who were examined by the Head of Section (Head of Section) and Head of Division (Head) in Aceh Government Agencies. The results of the study found that the reporting system and the clarity of budget targets simultaneously had a significant effect on the performance of the Aceh Government. The partial reporting system has a significant effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. Clarity of budget targets partially has a significant effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. The reporting system has more dominant influence on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. It is expected that in the future the Aceh Government will pay more attention to the clarity of the budget goals in budgeting, because the results of the research regression coefficients have the smallest effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government agencies in clarity of budget targets, with the hope that these variables will have greater influence on the accountability of Agency performance The Aceh Government in the future.

Over the years instructors and administrators have worked together to provide education to students in academic institutions. The role of the participants in this educational system were well-defined. Instructors and administrators were responsible for the dissemination of knowledge and the methodology used was simple: the instructor transferred the knowledge to the students. The merging of computers and communications technology is transforming the way we teach and learn. Physical classrooms are being replaced by electronic classrooms. The roles of the participants are being redefined where the instructor is becoming a facilitator in the electronic classroom and students are participating in these classes from anywhere and at anytime. Questions that arise for universities include: Is this the future of higher education? Will electronic classrooms replace traditional classrooms? In this study we explore and discuss the perceptions of students in a mid-western rural university regarding virtual education. Implications for the participants in the educational system are also discussed.

The future of work is likely to usher in dramatic changes in the form and substance of the employment contract. Technology, artificial intelligence, automation, policy changes and evolving labour market are few factors playing a vital role in workplace transformation. It is important that organisations emphasise civility in engaging with employees in the workplace to enable them to feel happy as happier people are more productive. In order to shape a happy workforce in the future, leaders, particularly, middle managers need to reinforce the spirit of well-being-oriented human resource management (HRM) practices. Organisations need to engage with employees outside the domain of work as well, as life satisfaction constitutes an important factor in determining job performance. Finally, in order to structure a happy workforce in the future, employers need to recognise that business and ethics have an intimate relationship with each other and cannot be seen as separable.

In 2009, the transportation sector was the second largest consumer of primary energy in the United States, following the electric power sector and followed by the industrial, residential, and commercial sectors. The pattern of energy use varies by sector. For example, petroleum provides 96% of the energy used for transportation but its share is much less in other sectors. While the United States consumes vast quantities of energy, it has also pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In order to assist in planning for future energy needs, the purpose of this study is to develop a model for transport energy demand that incorporates past trends. This paper describes the development of two types of transportation energy models which are able to predict the United States’ future transportation energy-demand. One model uses an artificial neural network technique (a feed-forward multilayer perceptron neural network coupled with back-propagation technique), and the other model uses a multiple linear regression technique. Various independent variables (including GDP, population, oil price, and number of vehicles) are tested. The future transport energy demand can then be forecast based on the application of the growth rate of effective parameters on the models. The future trends of independent variables have been predicted based on the historical data from 1980 using a regression method. Using the forecast of independent variables, the energy demand has been forecasted for period of 2010 to 2030. In terms of the forecasts generated, the models show two different trends despite their performances being at the same level during the model-test period. Although, the results from the regression models show a uniform increase with different slopes corresponding to different models for energy demand in the near future, the results from ANN express no significant change in demand in same time frame. Increased sensitivity of the ANN models to the recent fluctuations caused by the economic recession may be the reason for the differences with the regression models which predict based on the total long-term trends. Although a small increase in the energy demand in the transportation sector of the United States has been predicted by the models, additional factors need to be considered regarding future energy policy. For example, the United States may choose to reduce energy consumption in order to reduce CO2 emissions and meet its national and international commitments, or large increases in fuel efficiency may reduce petroleum demand.

Functional relationships, such as stock–recruitment curves, are generally estimated from time series data where natural "random" factors have generated both deviations from the relationship and also informative variation in the independent variables. Even in the absence of measurement errors, such natural experiments can lead to severely biased parameter estimates. For stock–recruitment models, the bias is misleading for management: the stock will appear too productive when it is low, and too unproductive when it is large. The likely magnitude of such biases can and should be determined for any particular case by Monte Carlo simulations.

Teacher and student perceptions of using technology enhanced learning (TEL) in higher education have received growing attention, particularly during COVID-19, however existing studies are mainly disciplinespecific. This study adopts a holistic cross-disciplinary approach. It compares teacher and student perceptions on defining TEL, promotors and barriers for its use, and solutions offered for better use of TEL in the future. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from an Australian university. A total of 75 teachers and 48 students completed an online survey, and of these participants, 24 teachers and 29 students participated in follow-up focus group interviews that included Kahoot! surveys. Quantitative results show that teacher and student perceptions on TEL were generally aligned except that self-reported technology savviness and confidence was rated higher than how students and staff rated each other. Qualitative analyses reveal that both teachers and students identified the main promoters for TEL as being: modern and expected in higher education, while being equalising, efficient, engaging, authentic, collaborative and flexible. The common barriers for using TEL were identified as fear, time, organisational culture, knowledge and technical/support issues, along with the perceived pitfalls of distraction, and superficial student learning. Solutions offered for TEL in the future from staff focused on the institution and a desire for strategic, pedagogical and holistic approaches, while students focussed on the accessibility, flexibility and collaborative potential of TEL. This cross-discipline pre-COVID-19 study of TEL perceptions offered by teachers and students has contributed to knowledge in this area by identifying barriers and solutions for TEL common to all disciplines that have the potential to be applied to whole of institution strategic approaches for the more effective use of TEL in teaching and learning in higher education. Student accessibility to TEL and the development of pedagogically sound digital learning resources bringing together educational developers and discipline experts are of particular relevance during and post-COVID-19.
