Intention To Participate

This paper aims to analyze the external and internal drivers of young consumers’ intention to participate in the sharing economy in tourism. From previous findings, a causal model (PLS) is designed to generate an integrated, practical, and novel structural model that significantly predicts the intention to participate. The model, consisting of nine dimensions, includes consumers’ external and internal variables. Separately, these variables have all been considered relevant in the literature, though they have not been studied jointly before. The descriptive results show the excellent attitude and predisposition of young people toward the tourism sharing economy, which facilitates their participation. Through the model, the importance of all internal and external consumer variables in the formation of intention are proven; however, attitude and social norm are most notable among them. Trust is also a critical variable that serves as the link between internal and external variables. The study provides managers of sharing economy platforms with knowledge to encourage young consumers’ participation in a communication and market orientation context. The generational approach (Generation Z) used also allows the conclusions and implications to be transferred to other regions and sectors.

Processing Mechanisms

Abstract Most cognitive psychophysiological studies assume (1) that there is a chain of (partially overlapping) cognitive processes (processing stages, mechanisms, operators) leading from stimulus to response, and (2) that components of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) may be regarded as manifestations of these processing stages. What is usually discussed is which particular processing mechanisms are related to some particular component, but not whether such a relationship exists at all. Alternatively, from the point of view of noncognitive (e. g., “naturalistic”) theories of perception ERP components might be conceived of as correlates of extraction of the information from the experimental environment. In a series of experiments, the author attempted to separate these two accounts, i. e., internal variables like mental operations or cognitive parameters versus external variables like information content of stimulation. Whenever this separation could be performed, the latter factor proved to significantly affect ERP amplitudes, whereas the former did not. These data indicate that ERPs cannot be unequivocally linked to processing mechanisms postulated by cognitive models of perception. Therefore, they cannot be regarded as support for these models.

Aims and objectives: This study analyzes the proclitic and enclitic positions of Spanish clitic se (e.g., ella se quería ir / ella quería irse ‘she wanted to go’) across two generations of Spanish speakers in New York City. In an effort to contribute to ongoing research aimed at better understanding Spanish in the US, the following questions are addressed. In syntactic environments that permit variation, does placement of Spanish se differ between the two generations? From the internal variables identified for this study (nonfinite verb type, finite verb, tense of finite verb, grammatical person, use of se, grammatical mood of finite verb, negation), which ones have a statistically significant effect on placement? From the external variables identified for this study (national origin, region, areal origins, sex, age, years in US, socioeconomic class, education, English skill, Spanish skill, general Spanish use), which ones have a statistically significant effect on placement? Design and data: This study is carried out within a variationist-sociolinguistic framework and the sample consists of 50 participants, 25 from the first generation (G1) and 25 from the second (G2). Analysis: Bivariate chi-square tests are performed in order to determine what internal and external variables constrain placement of the dependent variable (clitic se placement). Findings: Generation has a statistically significant effect on placement ( p = .016), wherein proclisis is more frequent amongst the G2 participants. These results corroborate previous research showing an overall preference for proclisis in both monolingual and bilingual/heritage speakers. Further, chi-square tests pinpoint five conditioning effects for G1 (nonfinite verb type, use of se, finite verb, years in US, and English skill), but only two for G2 (use of se and English skill). Originality and implications: The present study is the first to discover strong correlations between the proclitic position and the numerous internal and external variables quantitatively assessed. Future research is thus warranted.

The Relationship

Within the context of the Lexical Constructional Model, which provides a comprehensive account of the relationship between syntax and all facets on meaning construction, this paper is concerned with one of the major representational modules of the model, viz. a lexical template. It is claimed that a lexical template consists of a semantic specification plus a logical structure. The logical structure formalism is constructed on the basis of Aktionsart distinctions proposed in Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin & Lapolla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005). Aktionsart regularities are captured by the external variables of the template, specified in Roman characters, and by a set of high-level elements of structure that function as semantic primitives. Lexical templates also contain internal variables, marked with Arabic numerals, and formally expressed in terms of a catalogue of lexical functions. These variables capture world-knowledge elements that relate in a way specific to the predicate defined by the lexical template. In order to test the viability of lexical templates, a detailed analysis of a set of verbs within the lexical domain of cognition is included.

The Impact

AbstractThis article focuses on phonological aspects of bilingualism and includes two approaches: internal linguistic and sociolinguistic. The former approach is based on internal variables (markedness, frequency, complexity, uniformity), and the latter on external variables (age, school, family language, language of the peer-group). The article comprises two parts. First, we analyze spontaneous data produced by German-Spanish bilingual children and try to model the contact-language situation of that group characterized by family bilingualism and societal monolingualism. The external variables are relatively homogeneous for those children, as they receive Spanish from the mother and German from the father, and from the broad German-speaking community in Hamburg. These cases of individual bilingualism mainly receive the impact of internal variables, which can be weighed against one another. This leads to the following hierarchy of variables from those having more to less impact: frequency > markedness > uniformity > language of the environment. Second, we analyze and compare the elicited speech of Catalan-Spanish bilingual children in two districts of Barcelona, which differ in the degree of Spanish dominance. Here, the emphasis is on external factors. School and the peer-group seem to play the most important role, as they have more predictive power than the language spoken at home.

Talking about strategic management (MS), automatic also talks about TOWS and SWOT analysis. TOWS-K analysis is often equated with a SWOT analysis, because they pay attention to internal variables, namely Strength (S) and Weakness (W) and external variables, namely Opportunities (O) and Threats (T). Seen from the historical point of view, can be found two types of analysis, the TOWS-K analysis was first in the 1960s while the SWOT analysis was in the 1990s. Institute of  Islamic Religion Ma'had Aly Al-Hikam (STAIMA Al-Hikam Malang) is a higher education institution (institute) who had stood 17 years ago in 2003. Researcher had not received the study discussed strategic management. The study about this institution in facing the future, especially in the industrial era 4.0. In the Malang city, in the last 10 years many higher education institutions (universities / PT) have been established, which until now there are 50 universities. This research examines and explores the S-W-O-T variable owned by STAIMA Al-Hikam Malang, whose results can be used in determining future policies.

The Impact

Companies require tools for analysis and decision-making, so simulation tools present a competitive advantage to be able to evaluate situations and scenarios that allow establishing properly structured action plans and gather all available information on resources, processes, and elements involved in the operation dynamics. The dynamic simulation offers an integrating vision that allows seeing the impact of external variables on the internal variables of interest to be evaluated as a time function with a systemic approach. This paper aims to visualize and detect the dynamics of the interrelationships that occur between the problems that arise in the process of filling water jugs of a purifying company and the problems at the organizational level, to assess the impact on Productivity. First, the pertinent information was collected in the company together with the opinion of experts in the corresponding areas and based on this develop a model with the main variables of operation of the process and personnel's operational performance that makes up the production system of the company under study. Subsequently, the model was validated to analyze it and draw conclusions that allow us to establish proposals for improvement.

The Relationship

Secure, convenient, and affordable payment instruments are one factor that drives up the development of the national economy. Having a good and stable national economic condition is the intention of every country. The usage of electronic payment instruments is proven to boost economic growth and advance financial inclusion. However, the usage of e-payment among generation Z in Indonesia is still relatively low. Of these, this study is written to analyze the factors influencing electronic payment used to be taken as a concern on evaluating the current level of the cashless society. The model to assess the influencing factors is adopted from UTAUT variables: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence, combined with two external variables: culture and perceived security. The questionnaire is distributed to 458 respondents, covering generation Z in Bandung City. A quantitative approach was used to assess the questionnaire result, examining the relationship between each factor and electronic payment usage. The results indicate three factors that significantly influence electronic payment usage among generation Z in Bandung City: performance expectancy, social influence, and culture.
