The article examines the innovative changes in the restaurant business in the context of the spread of the COVID 19 virus in Ukraine and abroad. It was the restaurant establishments in the conditions of COVID 19 that were forced to react quickly to the new conditions and needs of the quarantine services market. The advantages of applying innovative changes in the restaurant business are indicated. It is determined that the culture of food delivery and online ordering began to develop at an incredibly fast pace in Ukraine and abroad. Applications such as Delivery.com, Raketa, Glovo are becoming one of the most popular food delivery applications. We analyzed a convenient service for ordering – telegram bots, the essence of which is that a person can not only electronically view the proposals of the institution, but also track all stages of preparation of the ordered dish, from receipt of the order to ready to receive. This characteristic of the latest technology – restaurants without ticket offices and sellers. It has been noted that self-service, whether through drive windows, the Internet or digital platforms, is fast reaching the restaurant business, and the potential of this market is huge. It is determined that mobile applications in virtual objects have led to the emergence of creative directions for the development of restaurant businesses and their approach to consumers. Today, the consumer can order culinary meals without leaving home, work or in other various situations that limit the appropriate time to visit the restaurant business. RFID technologies have also become widely used. The essence of the technology is in placing RFID-tags near restaurants, which can be read by special portable devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or mobile communication. It was concluded that the strategy of adaptation of each of the restaurant businesses to quarantine conditions was unique, but they all used similar methods to reorganize their activities.

Aesthetic medicine has been developing at a fast pace in recent years. It is necessary and ethical for anyone who undergoes any of these treatments to receive complete information on its implementation methods, as well as its consequences andadverse effects. Only once the person who would be affected by these procedures obtains truthful and impartial information, can he or she provide a legally binding consent to undergo a procedure. Thus, the information received by the patient plays a crucial role since it underlies the subject’s decision concerning the treatment.

The striatum plays an important role in “habitual” learning and memory and has been hypothesized to implement a reinforcement-learning algorithm to select actions to perform given the current sensory input. Many experimental approaches to striatal activity have made use of temporally structured tasks, which imply that the striatal representation is temporal. To test this assumption, we recorded neurons in the dorsal striatum of rats running a sequential navigation task: the multiple T maze. Rats navigated a sequence of four T maze turns to receive food rewards delivered in two locations. The responses of neurons that fired phasically were examined. Task-responsive phasic neurons were active as rats ran on the maze (maze-responsive) or during reward receipt (reward-responsive). Neither mazenor reward-responsive neurons encoded simple motor commands: maze-responses were not well correlated with the shape of the rat's path and most reward-responsive neurons did not fire at similar rates at both food-delivery sites. Maze-responsive neurons were active at one or more locations on the maze, but these responses did not cluster at spatial landmarks such as turns. Across sessions the activity of maze-responsive neurons was highly correlated when rats ran the same maze. Maze-responses encoded the location of the rat on the maze and imply a spatial representation in the striatum in a task with prominent spatial demands. Maze-responsive and reward-responsive neurons were two separate populations, suggesting a divergence in striatal information processing of navigation and reward.

Abstract This essay presents the results of a study on the work organization of food-delivery workers that use digital platforms in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The covid-19 pandemic exacerbated and increased the visibility of the precarious work conditions experienced by these workers, who have organized collectively throughout Brazil to demand better conditions. Based on the field of workers’ health and sociological analyses of work’s uberization, the study used a qualitative methodology with a data survey in online social networks and news coverage during the pandemic, complementing research-intervention strategies involving dialogues with delivery workers before the pandemic. The results feature the delivery app workers’ collective mobilization and the trend in their identification as a professional category in the midst of contradictions and complexities of this process, which became emblematic with the two national strikes held in July 2020.

Mobile Communication Industry

With the improvements in communication technologies and the increased need for mobile communication among users, the mobile communication industry has been faced with fast-paced developments in the last few decades. The developments in mobile communication technologies provide opportunities that cannot be provided by traditional communication tools. Mobile applications are considered examples of such opportunities. The services offered by mobile phone technologies are diversified by the mobile applications that can be downloaded through digital platforms, and with these applications smart-phone users become even more active users. The current chapter reports findings from a study that employed a structured online questionnaire with 271 smart-phone users. The findings revealed that mobile application use, either free or paid, is explained by the period of smart-phone use, attitudes toward mobile applications, financial cost, and opinion leadership. Furthermore, free applications are more frequently used when the innovativeness increases and the perceived application cost decreases. The results present important outcomes for mobile companies, the digital platform providers, as well as mobile application producers.

Digitizing records ensures that the continuation of information value remains accessible and usable in all academic institutions. The study aimed to establish strategies being used for digitization of records in higher education institutions in South Africa. A case study design was found appropriate to investigate the strategies of digitizing records in KwaZulu-Natal. The study employed the qualitative research approach and collected data from the literature. Content analysis was used for data analysis. Furthermore, the study used an analytical review of empirical findings conversant of digitization of records in academic institutions as the strategy. Literature was reviewed across the world and narrowed down to KwaZulu-Natal intending to trace strategies being used by universities in KwaZulu-Natal. The findings revealed that most records are stored on the digital platforms or network servers that the university manages. Users across the world get access to these records and it gives the platform to download all records. The findings further revealed that records are stored and digitized individually from the portable devices. The study recommended that institutions should offer more training to the staff.

An infrastructure-based mobile environment is formed with a wireless network connecting mobile hosts (MHs) and mobile support stations (MSSs). MHs are clients equipped with portable devices, such as laptops, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, and so on, while MSSs are stationary servers providing information access for the MHs residing in their service areas. With the recent widespread deployment of contemporary peer-to-peer (known as P2P throughout this chapter) wireless communication technologies, such as IEEE 802.11 (IEEE Standard 802-11, 1997) and Bluetooth (Bluetooth SIG, 2004), coupled with the fact that the computation power and storage capacity of most portable devices have been improving at a fast pace, a new information sharing paradigm known as P2P information access has rapidly taken shape. The MHs can share information among themselves rather than having to rely solely on their connections to the MSS. This article reviews a hybrid communication framework - that is, mobile cooperative caching - which combines the P2P information access paradigm into the infrastructure-based mobile environment.

PurposeConsumers shopping motives may differ across products/services categories, retail formats and channels. In the context of m-Apps-based commerce, this study aims to explore different shopping motives of consumers in three different categories of app, namely, food delivery, ride sourcing and digital payments. Using motivation literature, the study extends the theory of consumer motives by including sustainability as a key motive to buy in the context of m-App channel. Further, the authors undertake a comparative analysis of the identified motives across the three mobile applications (m-Apps).Design methodology/approachThe research methodology involved two stages (qualitative research followed by quantitative research). In qualitative research, personal interview was conducted to extract items for survey questionnaire development. Subsequently, quantitative analysis was carried out. The data were subjected to exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The study sample comprised 201 young Indian managers.FindingsUsing principal component analysis and CFA, the study validates the existence of different motivations in the three categories of m-Apps considered. Transaction-oriented and sustainability-oriented motivation is found to be a major motive to use m-Apps for food delivery, ride sourcing and mobile payments. Additionally, in digital wallet applications for mobile payments, consumers exhibit innovation-oriented motivation. Value-oriented motivation was identified as a motive in food delivery apps.Research limitations/implicationsThe scale developed and the comparative study done extended the theoretical conversation on young consumer motives in the context of m-Apps channel and extended it by including sustainability motive, which needs further in-depth study.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to explore sustainability motives in the context of m-Apps channel.
