The Impact

The hospitality industry acquires the features of an integrative industry, which combines material resources and intangible factors to meet the needs of modern man for comfortable travel and recreation. Hospitality is interpreted as a complex economic, social, cultural, psychological phenomenon, the impact of which on the development of the tourism industry determines the effect of synergy from the combination of tourist resources and quality of service. The author of article proposes to consider hospitality management as a multilevel dynamic management system for the process of providing services to tourists and vacationers, based primarily on the principles of humanism, tolerance, personalization of hospitality, respect for cultural diversity, priority to meet human needs for quality recreation and physical strength as well as cultural self-development. The social orientation of this system to some extent balances the commercial, purely pragmatic aspect of managing the development of tourism enterprises. A holistic model of hospitality management is based on a harmonious combination of four concepts. They are humanitarian, technological, functional and commercial. The system-forming component of the hospitality sector is a mechanism for managing consumer behaviour, which ensures an optimal balance of supply and demand in the market of hospitality services. The specifics of service in the hospitality industry is that the quality of service affects the emotional perception of tourists in the area and, accordingly, affects the image of the state. Therefore, the mechanism for implementing the service policy should be established through public administration measures. Among the key areas of hospitality management development is the formation of a rational organizational structure, improvement of hospitality marketing and support of corporate culture, the values of which are adequate to the socio-cultural environment of the hospitality industry. The specificity of the hospitality industry is also that an important role in ensuring competitiveness is played by an attractive brand, which stipulates the allocation in the management system of such a component as brand management. Considerable attention should be paid to the innovative development of hospitality enterprises and the constant improvement of professional competence of managers of socio-cultural activities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread worldwide, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government recommends all citizens to stay at home and to work and study from home. Therefore, most universities have implemented e-learning in their teaching and learning process. This research focused on the effect of e-learning on students’ interest and learning at the varsity level. Quantitative research methods were used. The data were collected from 176 students from two private universities in Medan, Sumatera Utara. The findings were that e-learning enabled the students to access the global world and distribute learning materials through WhatsApp. Assignments were marked promptly and e-learning helped students to set their own schedule. E-learning motivated the students to do their own work without others’ help, but the students did not agree that e-learning enhanced the quality of the teaching-learning process.

Currently, in the context of the widespread use of e-learning technologies and distance educational technologies, it is necessary to train future teachers, taking into account the peculiarities of solving professional problems in an electronic information and educational environment, to develop students' relevant competencies, including network communicative competence. Despite the large number of studies devoted to the communicative aspect of the teacher's activities, the problem of the formation of network communicative competence in the electronic information and educational environment has not been sufficiently studied. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the results of the questionnaire survey of students, some methods of forming network communicative competence in future teachers in the study of various disciplines, in the course of teaching practice, and scientific research are proposed. The analysis of the conditions and factors that determine the choice of methods for the formation of the specified competence has been carried out. These factors are associated with the teachers' perception of the peculiarities of communication in the electronic information and educational environment, the didactic and communicative potential of resources and tools of the electronic information and educational environment, the choice of methods and technologies for organizing interaction, the selection of educational material that allows the development of components of network communicative competence, the design of tasks and exercises for the development of network communicative competence, the choice of modes, schemes and forms of organization of interaction, the organization of feedback, control of the level of formation of the network communicative competence, the implementation of reflection. The formed network communicative competence will contribute to a more effective solution by the teacher of communicative tasks in the electronic information and educational environment, which will improve the quality of training of future teachers in the electronic information and educational environment.

Abstract: Islamic education institutions in Indonesia face two challenges, namely; internal and external. Internally, Islamic education is faced with the classic problem of the low quality of human resources in education management. The causes include poor quality and education staff development and selectivity of education personnel. Furthermore externally, Islamic education institutions faced three major issues; globalization, democratization, and liberalization. The issue of globalization that is identical with market orientation and mechanism also affects the world of education. That way in education also includes awareness about how to attract and convince the community of the type and model of education. From here, the education world is ready or not ready to be involved in competition to gain public trust. To face these challenges Islamic Education institutions must maximally manage and empower all elements of management in the management of educational institutions. A good understanding of the elements of management can have an impact on the readiness of educational institutions to manage their institutions well in any condition to be the best and foremost.

La posibilidades de interactividad propias de la IPTV (e.g., video bajo demanda, pago por ver, E-Learning), hacen prever, a corto plazo, el fortalecimiento de su presencia en el país. Esa masificación, sumada al hecho de ser un servicio que se presta en tiempo real y a su reconocida sensibilidad a la latencia, los retardos y la pérdida de paquetes, constituyen un reto para proveer un servicio que reúna las expectativas de calidad de sus usuarios. En esa tarea, administrar la prioridad en el tráfico puede ser fundamental. Los mecanismos de QoS (Quality of Service) pueden ser un gran aliado, al permitir el manejo rápido de aplicaciones de misión crítica. El artículo inicia con una visión general de la IPTV, sus servicios y arquitectura; la presentación de algunos conceptos aplicados al tema (e.g. QoS, QoE, IPTV sobre ADSL) y cierra con la presentación de mecanismos de calidad de servicio aplicados a IPTV y una valoración de la situación de dos proveedores de este servicio en Colombia.

BACKGROUND Immersive virtual reality (VR) games are increasingly becoming part of everyday life. Several studies support immersive VR technology as a treatment method for mental health problems. There is however minimal research into the feasibility, prevalence, and quality of commercially available VR games on commercial platforms as tools for treatment or add on to treatment of mental health problems. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence, feasibility and quality of commercially available games related to psychotherapy on a commercially available platform. METHODS We performed a search for keywords related to diagnosis and treatment strategies of mental health problems. The search was performed during March 27th on STEAM (VR content and gaming platform). A usability scale was used as a tool to look at the interaction and usability of the games, the VR-UI-UX-8. The tool contains 8 statements about usability scored 0-10, 0 indicating “Not at all” and 10 indicating “very much so”. The score ranges from 0-80 with a higher score indicating worse usability. RESULTS In total, 516 hits were found, 371 unique games. After the games were reviewed, 83 games passed the inclusion criteria, were purchased and played. Majority of the games which were excluded were either not connected to mental health, contained violence, adult content or were in other ways irrelevant or inappropriate. The mean score for the games on the VR-UI-UX-8 was 16.5 (standard deviation 15.8) with a range from 0-68. Most relevant and feasible games were found in the search words meditation, mindfulness, and LSD. CONCLUSIONS Commercial platforms hold great potential for VR games with psychotherapeutic components. The platforms are only at the beginning of the development towards serious games, e-learning and psychotherapeutic treatments. Currently the quality and usability for clinical and at home applicability are scarce, but hold great potential.
