Abstract Background The so-called sports consumption models are looking for the factors that influence the sports spending of households. This paper aims to examine the Hungarian, Polish and German households’ sports expenditures which can be an important indicator of physical activity and sporty lifestyle. Methods Surveying of households in three countries (Hungary, Poland and Germany) has been conducted with a self-designed questionnaire. We have used descriptive and bivariate non-parametric and parametric statistical methods: (1) χ2 test, Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test for checking the relationship between sociodemographic and physical activity variables and (2) independent sample t-test and ANOVA for checking the differences in sports expenditures. Results Our research concluded that men, especially previous athletes, exercise more than women and those who have no history as registered athletes. The choice of sports venues is obviously different between the countries in the sample. Members of the study population spend the most on sports services while they spend the least on sports equipment. German households have the highest spending rates compared to the other two countries. Conclusions Results are in line with our previous research findings and with other literatures. The difference in preferences of sports venues could have the reason of different supply of sports clubs or the different living standards too. It needs further researches to clear it. Material wealth, income level and sport socialisation can be a determining factor regarding the level of sports spending.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the difference of national intellectual capital from the perspective of national culture and to illustrate how national leaders or policy-makers increase their country’s national intellectual capital. Design/methodology/approach The study conducts a descriptive analysis combining the research outcome of Lin and Edvinsson’s (2011) national intellectual capital with Hofstede’s (2001) national culture. The research findings and results of these two studies were compared before running a t-test to determine whether countries with relatively high national intellectual capital have a higher level of certain national culture. Findings Based on the matching data of 26 countries, the study proposed that countries with certain national culture possess lower intellectual capital. Countries with high intellectual capital tend to exhibit a common culture of low power distance, weak uncertainty avoidance, and individualism. Practical implications The study suggests that for a country to enhance its overall intellectual capital, it should strive for a culture of equality, freedom and safety, and an active competitive environment, while avoiding social class distance in order to eliminate insecurity. The study proposes some suggestions to advance the countries’ national intellectual capital. In addition to admit the weakness of their intellectual capital due to cultural reasons, these countries could go a step further to increase their own national intellectual capital by increasing or enhancing certain national cultures if possible. Originality/value The study compares national intellectual capital and national culture and finds the relationship between these two sets of constructs. This study proves that national culture not only influences the strategies or behaviors of business level but also the competitiveness of national levels.

The paper is dedicated to the issue of the relationship between the level of satisfaction of foreign tourists visiting Mexico and the potential for growth in the number of persons visiting from abroad. The publication is based on survey research conducted by the Mexican agency “Secretaria del Turismo” among tourists arriving by air. The survey asked participants to rate the state of the Mexican tourist infrastructure, airport facilities, and attitudes of locals towards foreign tourists. The survey study showed a general increase in the satisfaction level of people who had visited Mexico in 2007 relative to that of people who had visited in 2002. Security and Mexican hospitality were highly rated by survey participants. Forecasts call for growth in tourist traffic and predict increasing revenues for the tourist industry. This may be associated with the growing level of satisfaction experienced by visitors to Mexico.

The study was set out to assess the adequacy of supporting facilities provided in private Universities Ogun State from the users’ perspective. To achieve the aim, five objectives were set and resolved, These include ascertainment of the characteristics of students in the private Universities, identification of the basic supporting facilities available in the a private Universities, investigation of the students’ perception of the adequacy of supporting facilities, determination of  the student’s level of satisfaction with the available supporting facilities and finally, examination of the relationship between the student’s characteristics and their satisfaction level with the adequacy of supporting facilities. The population for the study comprised of the students of private Universities (Covenant University, Ota, Bells University of Technology, Ota and Babcock University, Ilisan-Remo). Data for the study was collected with the aid of structured questionnaires which were distributed to three hundred and sixty (360) students in the three (3) selected private Universities out of which two hundred and seventy one (271) representing 75% of the total distributed questionnaires were retrieved and found useful. The data obtained from the retrieved questionnaires were computed with the aid of SPSS (version 20.0) and subsequently analyzed using percentages, mean, RII and multiple linear regression and presented in tables. Findings from the study indicated that amongst the pre-listed support facilities, 23% of the respondents attested to the availability of special facilities for the physically challenged. The study also revealed that students perceived inadequacy in the ambulance response time, number of buses available for transportation, provision of restroom for shoppers, prompt attendance to students in the cafeteria and number of rest rooms available. However, the study showed the students overall level of satisfaction with medical (RII = 0.6768), transportation (RII = 0.6777), shopping mart (RII = 0.6443) and cafeteria (RII = 0.6681). Furthermore, the study discovered a strong relationship between students characteristics and medical facilities (P = 0.000), transport facilities (P = 0.022) and cafeteria facilities (P = 0.001) in one (1) of the sampled private Universities. The study recommends that Management of the sampled Universities carry out regular facilities evaluation and also the provision of more shuttle ambulance, transportation buses, restrooms in the shopping mart and the cafeteria and special facilities that cater to the physically challenged.   Received: 27 February 2021 / Accepted: 4 May 2021 / Published: 17 May 2021

The Relationship

This study aims to determine the relationship between innovation, financial development, and economic growth. Innovation is measured by patents, and economic growth is measured by the percentage of GDP per capita, while financial development is measured by seven indicators, namely banking sector development. Index formation is done through the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), with the note of the variable were defined earlier. This study uses data from ten ASEAN member countries with observation periods from 1986-2015. Research data is secondary data derived from the World Development Indicator and Global Financial Development at the World Bank. The analytical method used in this study is granger causality test, VECM, and IRF and FEVD analysis. The results showed that there were several differences in results in the direction of the three relationships. This difference is due to the difference in proxy that used in the study. There are three cases in this study. Broadly speaking, the relationship between financial development and economic growth is a unidirectional causality from financial development to economic growth. On the other hand, testing on economic growth with innovation shows a bidirectional causality. On the relationship between financial development and innovation, there are unidirectional causality from innovation to financial development. Nevertheless, the relationship between the three variables shows a long-term relationship.

The Relationship

This is a descriptive study conducted to determine the bureaucratic socialization tendencies of teachers, as well as the relationship between these tendencies and the seniority and gender variables. The population of the research is composed of elementary school teachers from the Sincan district of the province of Ankara. Data have been collected by means of a bureaucratic socialization scale developed by the researcher. The reliability level of the scale has been calculated as 0.86. The research data have been compiled from the replies of 358 available and voluntary teachers. To analyse the data, the score of each item representing a factor has been calculated by taking the arithmetical average of the scores of that item. To analyse the difference of viewpoints, ttest has been used for the gender variable and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been used for the seniority variable. To determine which group or groups involved significant differences, LSD multiple comparison test has been conducted. The research findings show that the bureaucratic socialization tendency of teachers is at the level of 'I agree'. Compared to male teachers, female teachers have a higher tendency to adopt the bureaucratic structure and characteristics of the school, whereas, they have a lower tendency to behave in compliance with the institutional identity and values of bureaucratic structure. Furthermore, when a comparison is made between different groups of seniority, it is noted that the group with 5 years and less seniority and the one with 21 years and above seniority have a higher tendency for "not behaving according to the values and rules of the institution" than the group with 11-15 years of seniority. It is remarkable that the theoretical awareness level of teachers is high while the level of converting this awareness into activity is low. This result has been shared although it was not among the targets of the research as it has been deemed important.

Amino acids are important components of mangrove plant metabolisms. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of mangrove R. mucronata leaf colors to the amino acid content. This study was conducted between March to August 2019. The leaves were taken 50 g. The assessment of Amino acids was conducted using UPLC Waters Acquity Class H with PDA Detector. The principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine the relationship analysis between R. mucronata leaf colors and amino acid concentrations. The largest content was L glutamic acid with a green leaf content of 6139.57 ± 694.17 mg/kg and yellow leaf content of 6105.013 ± 113.2058 mg/kg. The results of PCA 1 showed that the influential amino acids were L-threonine (0.94), L-tyrosine (0.96), L-alanine (0.92), L-vanin (0.93), and PCA 2 showed glutamic acid (0.91). These results indicated that the difference in mangrove leaf colors affects the amino acid contents in the leaves.
