Policy Work From Home (WFH ) is enforce within the FEB UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta is one manifestation of breaking the chain of the COVID-19 virus. This research purpose is to identify the influence of WFH on the behavior and productivity of lecturers and education staff during this policy. This research is something new in education. The productivity assessment of the implementation of this policy has never be analyzed. This study uses quantitative methods with the number of respondents 96 respondents. The data was collected using a questionnaire, then tested the validity, reliability, and evaluation of the model structure using data analysis tools SmartPLS 3.0.0. The results of data processing explained that there was no relationship between WFH and technology-mediated behavior (P-Value = 0.297; T-Statistic = 1.043). A different yield of WFH data processing with productivity. It was found positive and significant influence but mediated partially competitive by technology. The path coefficient value of the direct relationship between WFH and productivity is 0.206 (P-Value 0.034; T-Statistic = 2.132) that the indirect relationship between WFH and productivity is mediating by the technology of 0.353. The limitation of this research is that it is only carried out in the FEB environment, not yet in a comprehensive manner at the “Veteran” National Development University, Yogyakarta.

Tourist Information

The Tourist Information Center (TIC) Soekarno Hatta International Airport Jakarta is an institution with service activities with a core of tourism marketing and promotion through the delivery of tourist information to domestic and foreign tourists visiting the TIC booth. That research was conducted to determine the effect of the quality of the physical environment, the quality of interaction of front liner officers, the quality of service results, and the quality of e technology provided by TIC on the loyalty of domestic and foreign tourists as the dependent variable. This study uses quantitative methods using a questionnaire in data collection. Sampling using accidental sampling with research variables as many as 35. At the same time, the number of respondents involved consisted of 69 domestic tourists and 106 foreign tourists. Furthermore, the data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Smart PLS 2.0 program. The results of testing the first hypothesis on domestic tourists show the positive influence of interaction on tourist loyalty. The path coefficient value is greater than the t table and p-value. Testing the second hypothesis on foreign tourists shows the positive influence between the quality of the physical environment and the quality of interaction on tourist loyalty. The coefficient value of the environmental quality pathway is greater than the t table and the p-value.

Objectives This study examined the relationships between dog ownership, dog walking, and the emotional bond with a dog to neighborhood engagement and life satisfaction among those over age 50. Method Using data from the Health and Retirement Study ( N = 476), two path analysis models were conducted to test the research hypotheses. Results Findings indicated that dog ownership did not have a direct or indirect relationship on life satisfaction. However, time spent in dog walking was associated with frequency of social interactions, which itself had a positive association with life satisfaction. The bond with a dog was not directly associated with life satisfaction but was associated with dog walking. Discussion Dog walking is a promising strategy for simultaneously promoting better health and social engagement, and these factors in turn can promote greater life satisfaction of older adults.

The economic shutdown and national lockdown following the outbreak of COVID-19 have increased demand for unpaid work at home, particularly among families with children, and reduced demand for paid work. Concurrently, the share of the workforce that has relocated its workplace to home has also increased. In this article, we examine the consequences of these processes for the allocation of time among paid work, housework, and care work for men and women in Israel. Using data on 2,027 Israeli adults whom we followed since the first week of March (before the spread of COVID-19), we focus on the effect of the second lockdown in Israel (in September) on the gender division of both paid and unpaid work. We find that as demand for housework caused by the lockdown increases, women—especially with children—increase their housework much more than men do, particularly when they work from home. The consequences of work from home and other flexible work arrangements for gender inequality within the family are discussed.

State Of Affairs

Today most foreign aid donors are genuinely committed to the idea that development in Third World countries should start with rural development. Therefore, a sizable proportion of their development funds are invested in rural projects. However, donors channel these funds through local governments (most often representing local bourgeois interests) that are not as committed to the principle of rural development. These governments are often also embarked in policies that are actually—directly or indirectly—expropriating the surpluses generated by agriculture and investing them in the other sectors of the economy. The peasants are therefore footing most of the bill of overall national development. This paper contends that, because of this state of affairs, foreign aid directed toward rural development is actually filling the investment gap left by an internal system of unequal returns to production in agriculture. In so doing, foreign aid is indirectly financing the development of the other sectors of the economy, even if this result is unintended. This perpetrates maldevelopment without redressing the basic exploitation process of peasants which lies at the core of underdevelopment. Evidence to support this hypothesis is presented using data from a primarily agricultural exporting country: the United Republic of Cameroon.
