Electronic readiness is an important issue in developing organizational e-learning. It focuses on organizational capabilities and capacities to use electronic resources in the learning process. Organizational culture is an important factor in successful e-learning readiness. This research is aimed to evaluate the impacts of organizational culture on e-learning readiness. A sample of 68 questionnaires consisting of both culture and readiness questions was analyzed. To test the research hypothesis, a Beta coefficient test was used. Research results indicate a significant positive impact of clan and adhocracy cultures on e-learning readiness. It also found that market culture has a negative impact on e-learning readiness, while findings cannot justify a relationship between hierarchy culture and e-learning readiness.

Contemporary studies indicate the lack of a positive impact of high physical effort in professional work on health, especially in connection with the deficit of recreational physical activity during leisure time. Women, due to physiological conditions, are not able to perform all activities at work equally with men. This applies in particular to work related to physical effort, transport of weights and forced body position. In the case of older women, apart from the physiological differences dictated by gender, functional changes occurring in the ageing human body, which also significantly reduce the ability to perform physical work, are added. The problem of employers disregarding hard physical labour leads to adverse effects for both them and their companies. Excessive work load and, associated with it, fatigue of employees result in inferior quality and work efficiency and the increase in sick leave due to ailments and illnesses. Therefore, it seems obvious to adapt the work station and working conditions to the needs of older women that perform physical work.

This study focuses on assessing the technical efficiency of enterprises across 63 provinces of Vietnam from 2015 to 2018 and the factors affecting their technical efficiency, in which we focus on two factors: business diversification and ICT index. In this research, we use the DEA method to group effective and ineffective enterprises, then use the GMM method to estimate the factors affecting to the firm’s performance. The research results show that the technical efficiency of enterprises in the provinces is quite small (about 10%), most of the enterprises have not achieved the technical efficiency due to the wasteful use of input factors. Research shows that business diversification and ICT both have a positive impact on efficiency, from which to increase technical efficiency, enterprises in provinces need to pay attention to business diversification and improve ICT index. in terms of the local government

The Impact

University technology transfer (UTT) has been growing in importance for many decades and is of increasing importance to university leadership, university researchers, research funding agencies, and government policy makers. It is of interest to academic researchers in the fields of business management, economics, innovation, geography, and public policy. UTT is a subset of the broader field of technology transfer, and it involves the transfer of university research results from the university to business so that the business can invest in the development of products and services that benefit society. The research results can arise from any academic discipline, are not limited to a particular definition of technology, and can be transferred to existing and new for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. The core activity involves licensing patent applications and other intellectual property to existing companies and establishing new companies that raise investment finance, to develop the early-stage research outputs into new products and services. In recent decades, research universities have set up technology transfer offices (TTOs) to manage their UTT activities. TTOs adopt a project management approach to supporting university researchers who wish to transfer the results of their research to business. Project stages include identifying, evaluating, protecting, marketing, deal making, and post-deal management. TTOs are also involved in other activities, beyond patenting, licensing, and entrepreneurship, which generate positive impact on society. Measuring and evaluating UTT is a topic of continuing debate, with an early focus on activity metrics developing into a more sophisticated assessment of the impact of university research outputs on society. Current issues in UTT involve understanding the position of UTT in the broader area of research impact, as well as funding and organization models for UTT within a university. The COVID-19 global crisis is highlighting the importance of university research and its transfer out to organizations that develop and deliver products and services that benefit society. It has further emphasized the importance of UTT as an activity where much more has to be researched and understood in order to maximize the benefits for society of all the activities performed by universities.

The purpose of the article is to examine the features of prison priests’ activities in the penitentiary system of pre-revolutionary Russia. The study boils down to detailed analysis of prison priests' powers, which were established by job descriptions and regulated their activities in the process of teaching prisoners the basics of religious doctrine for their moral formation. Analyzing the materials of the 19-th - early 20-th cen-turies, the author identifies the methods of influence and admonition on prisoners, based on their gender and age characteristics. The research results make it possible to rethink this experience in the modern period.

Purpose – The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships among strategic sourcing, e-procurement and firm performance, along with the moderating effects of business characteristics and environmental factors on these relationships. Design/methodology/approach – This empirical investigation relies on structured survey responses from 137 managers of US manufacturing firms. The partial least squares-based structural equation modeling approach is used for data analysis. Findings – The research results confirm that both strategic sourcing and e-procurement have a positive effect on firm performance. In addition, e-procurement is also found to have a positive impact on strategic sourcing. In addition, the research results suggest that business characteristics and the environment, especially the degree of competition, market turbulence, firm size and stage in product life cycle moderate these relationships significantly. The positive effects of strategic sourcing and e-procurement on firm performance are particularly enhanced under the right conditions. Originality/value – This research is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to provide insights into the joint effects of strategic sourcing and e-procurement, and how business characteristics and the environment affect their roles on firm performance. In addition, firm performance is evaluated as a multi-dimensional construct involving financial, operational and supply chain aspects, with the measurements consisting of several second-order constructs. The study makes both theoretical and practical contributions.

This paper analyzes theoretically the role of financial integration on economic growth and empirically examines the influence of financial integration on Ethiopian economic growth. Many researchers find different investigation results during their data analysis on the impact of financial integration on economic growth. The outcome of most researchers indicate that financial integration has a positive contribution to economic growth, while the result of quite a few numbers of researchers suggested that financial integration has a negative influence on economic growth. Similarly, few of them propose that the relationship between these two variables as bi- directional. Furthermore, literatures categorize the impact of financial sector on economic growth into four basic hypotheses. Which are supply leading, demand following, bidirectional, and independent hypothesis. These hypotheses suggest that financial integration has different role on economic growth and all of them are supported by several research results of various researchers. It is considered that the main reason behind these contrasting research results are the level of financial integration and the composition of financial flows. Moreover, the financial crises that occur in recent decades created a heated debate among researchers on the advantages and disadvantages of financial integration. However, most economists agree that financial integration is beneficial to the economy. The result of this paper analysis also shows, financial integration has a positive impact on the Ethiopian economic performance.

And Gender

Technologies such as voice assistants can aid older adults aging in place by assisting with basic home and health tasks in daily routines. However, currently available voice assistants have a common design-they are vastly represented as young and female. Humans may apply stereotypes to human-computer interactions similarly to human-human interactions. When stereotypes are activated, users may lose trust or confidence in the abilities of the device, or even stop using the device all together. The two purposes of this study are to 1) investigate if users can detect the age and gender of voice assistants, and 2) understand the extent to which a voice assistant’s perceived gender, age, and reliability elicit stereotypic responses. A series of health-related vignettes will be utilized to assess perceptions of and stereotypic responses toward voice assistants in younger and older adults. In line with previous research examining healthcare agents (Pak et al., 2014), we hypothesize that voice assistants with younger male voices will be rated as more trustworthy and that high reliability will have a positive impact on ratings of trust.
