The Moderating of Technological Adoption on Financial Literacy and International Entrepreneur Intention

Scholars have been and will likely remain interested in the study of entrepreneurial intention because of its importance to the development of numerous countries. The literature on entrepreneurial intention has addressed a wide range of subjects, with particular emphasis on the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention. However, the vast majority of these studies were conducted overseas. Since this topic always focuses on the agriculture sector when determining entrepreneurial purpose, the study targeted that industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the aspirations of young Malaysians to become international entrepreneurs. It especially aims to determine the relationship between each component of financial literacy (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) and technological adoption, as well as the effect of technological adoption on young people's ambitions to become international entrepreneurs. The study's conclusions demonstrated that financial literacy (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) and youth international entrepreneur intention were mediated by technology adoption. The study's findings contribute to the body of knowledge and support the executive branch and other decision-makers' creation of policies and programs. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2024-05-01-05 Full Text: PDF

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS OF EMPLOYEES’ PROFESSIONAL MOBILITY AT UKRAINIAN ENERGY ENTERPRISES

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the career growth dynamics, inherent to employees with different socio-demographic characteristics (women and men, persons involved and not involved in parental responsibilities) according to data on Ukrainian energy companies. To assess such dynamics, indicators of speed and amplitude of progress in the levels of the skill-occupational hierarchy have been developed. Comparing these indicators for different socio-demographic groups of staff (identical in other factors of career dynamics), the authors obtained comparative characteristics of the career opportunities, created by enterprises in the energetic sector for women and men, persons involved and not involved in parenting.In particular, women are significantly inferior to men in the dynamics of their careers, which is manifested in two main aspects, for which there is a formal confirmation of the statistical significance of differences:1) the share of women working in energy companies who do not make any transition to a higher qualification level (career amplitude is "0" for 10 - 20 years of work at the enterprise) is much higher than the share of men with similar stagnation career;2) During their employment at the energy company, women make on average a much smaller number of transitions to a higher level of occupational-skill hierarchy and face a much longer period of waiting for the next promotion.Employees of energy companies involved in childcare have even higher averages of the amplitude and speed of their careers than all respondents and respondents who are not involved in parenting. This can be explained by the greater career ambitions of people who have started family life and taken responsibility for the children.

Comparative study: Great expectations and the Silas Marner

This study attempts to compare two important literary books. One is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and another is The Silas Marner by George Eliote. The main purpose of this study is to examine the environmental problems that two books dealt with different stories in the same period in the literary world. This is a qualitative study. In the Great Expectations book, the aim is to explain the shortage of livelihoods and the struggles and ambitions of people in these situations. In The Silas Marner, one commits betrayal under difficult living conditions and learns the challenges of life on his own. In other words, the research has many aspects of features. Two books on life, lack of livelihood and social problems in the books written by two important authors of the literary period were examined.

Indian economic development in the 21st century

The Indian economy was in a difficult situation at the time of British rule. India was doing the development wants not of herself, but foreign land. The state that should have been responsible for a breakthrough in agriculture and industry, denied playing even a minor role in this case. On the other side, during the half-century before India’s freedom, the world was seeing rapid development and growth in agriculture, trade and industry - on the behest of an active role being played by the states. U.K. rule never made any changes for the development of India (occupational sector, industry, social sector). During freedom, India’s literacy was just 17 percent, with a life expectancy of only 32.5 years. Therefore, once India got independence, systematic organization of the economy was a real challenge for the government of that time. The need for growth and development was in huge demand in front of the Indian leadership - as the country was riding on the promises and people ambitions. At present India is ranked the seventh-largest economy, and third largest in terms of Purchasing Power Parity. The Gross Domestic Product per capita in India was $ 1963.55 in 2017. The GDP per Capita in India is equivalent to 16% of the world's average and averaged $ 693.96 from 1960 until 2017. It reached an all-time high of $ 1963.55 in 2017.

Ambition of young people - representatives of Y and Z generations

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of self-assessment of ambition of students - representatives of Y and Z generations. The aim of the study was to identify the similarities and differences in self-esteem of ambition and the degree of its expression among young people of different generations. A cross-sectional survey of young people's ambition was conducted in 2009 (Gen Y youth) and 2020 (Gen Z youth). The study involved 200 young people aged 18-22: 106 young people of generation Y and 94 young people of generation Z. To study ambition, the “Ambition” questionnaire (O.V. Barsukova) was used. Most of the young people of generation Y assess themselves as ambitious or rather ambitious people (70.42%), slightly more than a quarter of students (28.17%) consider themselves to be un-ambitious people or rather un-ambitious than ambitious people. The minimum number of students found it difficult to assess themselves (1.41%). Most of the young people of generation Y rate their ambition as high (45.07%), about a third of them - as moderate (30.99%), about a quarter of them - as low (23.94%). The majority of young people of generation Z (70.22%) consider themselves ambitious people or rather ambitious than un-ambitious people, about a third of them (29.79%) consider themselves un-ambitious people or rather un-ambitious than ambitious people. There were no young people who found it difficult to assess themselves. Most of the young people of generation Z rate their ambition as moderate (51.06%), just over a third of them - as high (36.17%), the minimum number - as low (12.77%). There were no significant differences in the self-esteem of ambition and in the degree of its expression among young people belonging to different generations.

Intersex, infertility and the future: early diagnoses and the imagined life course.

Infertility is often recognised as a status that is medically identified in adulthood after unsuccessful attempts to conceive. This paper develops existing literature by illustrating how current conceptualisations of infertility do not incorporate a full range of experiences. Drawing on detailed, reflective diaries and in-depth interviews with five participants, I explore how infertility is experienced and understood by women with variations of sex characteristics (VSCs) or intersex traits. I argue that greater consideration needs to be applied to intersex people and the circumstances of an infertility status that may be received in infancy, childhood or adolescence, before or outside of attempts to conceive, and without undergoing fertility treatment. Through discussions of time and futurity, this paper seeks to explore how visions of the future coalesce with an infertile status that is received in combination with an atypical sex status early in life. The paper indicates that early infertility can hinder some intersex children and young people's ambitions. However, infertility is not understood to be pathological or consistently prohibitive throughout the lives of everyone affected. Intersex women's conceptions of a potentially childless future are varied, complex, ambivalent and, in some cases, transitional throughout the life course.

Study on generic tangible objects used to collaborate remotely on RFID tabletops

Having the tools to work remotely with other people is one of the ambitions of people who work in a group context. In fact they have to move and to link their team-work in order to collaborate on one or several tasks. This paper describes a study on an innovative system designed to support remote collaborative applications on tabletops with tangible interaction. We propose a set of generic tangible objects. They model a set of collaborative styles which are possible between tabletop users. Our goal is to study the usability of and satisfaction with such objects that provide remote collaboration among users of interactive tabletops for tangible interaction. An application adapted to remote collaboration was tested in the laboratory with adult participants. Twelve test groups, each composed of three participants, tested a distributed application for the learning and recognition of colors. Our analysis, supported by observations, log file analysis and questionnaires, focuses on whether the use of generic objects to collaborate remotely is easy and understandable for users. It also considers user satisfaction when using the distributed tabletop with tangible objects.

ما بعد الثورة : القوى الفاعلة و مسارات العقلنة = After Revolution : Forces and Courses of Rationalization

This study aims at showing the premises and the main issues which may contribute to managing and rationalizing after revolution. In order to attain this Goal, the study focused on the appearances of disturbance, the forces which can undermine rationalization efforts, life course of revolution and its impact on managing after revolution, and the direction which restricts rationalization processes. The study shows that, Rising expectation of populace, breaking social rules and meanings, disorder of social identity, absence of security and regulation, and economical recession, are appearances of disturbance which challenge after revolution rationalization. Then, the study revealed that the most important forces which hinders after revolution rationalization are: counterrevolution, and the interactive states with revolution. After that, the study revealed that taking into account the life course of revolution and its structural phases contributes to dealing with the deep defects which invokes revolution, managing hopes and ambitions of people and revolutionaries, The societal composition of society, distributive Justice, Inner and outsider interactions of revolution, and the range of violence, and the security policy needed. Besides, the study showed that a rationalization of after revolution proceeding from formal institutions of state and economy to symbolic culture of resolution which reflects its identity and values. The course of rationalization should secure, preventing political hegemony return back, applying social justice, and civil rights and liberties.

“It was fun, it was dangerous”: Heroin, young urbanities and opening reforms in China's borderlands

BackgroundAn unprecedented flow of opiates flooded China's southern regions in the wake of the country's opening reforms in the 1980s. After the Maoist war on drugs had turned the People's Republic of China into an almost entirely drug-free area for three decades, heroin reappeared to become the most widely used illicit substance in the country. As the number of users rose by 1200% between 1988 and 1998, a generation of young people found themselves facing the consequences of addiction. MethodsBased on ethnographic data collected during 13 months of field research among a community of heroin users in the county-level city of Qilin in Yunnan Province, this paper explores the interplay of historical and social factors that led southern China's young urbanities to turn to heroin in the 1980s and 1990s. Towards this end, it draws on a broad array of research methods including the collection of life histories, extensive participant observation, and focus groups among the members of Qilin's local community of heroin users. ResultsI argue that the spread of heroin among southern China's young urbanities should be read as the aggregate outcome of such seemingly disparate factors as the opening of new global routes for the trafficking of opiates, the almost complete lack of Chinese public discourse around drugs in the immediate post-Mao period, the increased individualization of young people's ambitions, desires and forms of socialization, and the rise of a consumerist market economy in the country. ConclusionsBased on the data collected, I claim that the boom in the diffusion of heroin use in post-reform China cannot be described exclusively as a matter of deviant individual behaviours. Rather, it has to be interpreted as a complex social act, which is only understandable when framed within the social and historical context in which it was performed.

Putting the Dacha in Its Place

Ol'ga Malinova-Tziafeta, Iz goroda na dachu: Sotsiokul'turnye faktory osvoeniia dachnogo prostranstva vokrug Peterburga (1860-1914) (From City Dacha: Socio-Cultural Factors the Incorporation of Space around St. Petersburg [1860-1914]). 335 pp. St. Petersburg: European University, 2013. ISBN-13 978-5943801372. Dacha remains one of the few Russian words that has been adopted into international vocabularies because, more than simply a place, it is a phenomenon that defies translation. Citizens of many countries enjoy vacation houses and summer retreats, but the made itself integral Russian life and culture. The gradual process by which this came about began with Peter the Great's giving (dacha derives from the Russian verb to give, dat') parcels of land his courtiers along the road from his imperial capital his exurban residence at Peterhof, commanding them build summer palaces and therefore live in the European manner. What began as a token of elite status evolved together with broader changes society and culture, and the gained heft as a symbol that could be used mark historical change. Literary luminaries have long referenced it accordingly, from Aleksandr Pushkiffs romanticism Anton Chekhov's pragmatism. In the past two decades, historians and other scholars of the humanities who took the have turned their gaze the and prompted readers see it anew, from its architecture its function as a social space. (1) In this original and stimulating new study, Ol'ga Malinova-Tziafeta argues successfully that the evolution of space around St. Petersburg, we can map a variety of social, political, and cultural practices that were mediated by the multivalent phenomenon. Less about the itself than about the city whose residents depended on it, this book uses as its central category of analysis people's ambitions for what the space could achieve. This exploration is further distinguished by its theoretical sophistication and the author's novel attention underexplored sources. Malinova-Tziafeta has wisely put temporal and spatial boundaries around her subject, though even the 1860 her title is predated her first chapter with an insightful discussion of the legalities of the land parcels, beginning early the 18th century. This analysis is particularly useful because it historicizes the peculiarities of the permeable line between public and private Russian landownership, an inconsistency that has implications for other relations between state and society. The essence of her study begins 1870, a decade into the reform era launched by Tsar Alexander II, as Russians were actively adapting the changes that the great emancipator had inaugurated. The author focuses on the rising middle class, a term that she accepts as variable: representatives of various social groups, standing on a social ladder between the highest aristocracy and urban poverty (17). These are the people who the subsequent four chapters turn into the summerfolk who stake their claims dacha country (dachnye mestnosti) (26). As the author points out, published dictionaries could not keep pace with changes perceptions and uses of the (46). A chapter on the etymology of the is followed by one on the role of the public debates about the decline of public health St. Petersburg, prompted by the crush from urbanization that had resulted from industrialization; the function of the became relieve this pressure. Malinova-Tziafeta substantively rewrites a familiar narrative by introducing new characters. No longer are one-dimensional home-owning members of the city duma refusing tax themselves spend money on a decent sewage system; rather, they are organizing committees travel and observe some of the failures of the London and Paris sewers keep from repeating mistakes made Western capitals. …

Fashion Design Study on Korean Traditional Image Suitable for Ramie Fabric(Ⅰ) - The Application of Aesthetic Property of Goguryeo Era Clothing -Shape

A recent concern about Goguryeo era reflects the efforts to find out our spiritual roots, which have descended from the ancient times; Goguryeo clothing study leads to analysis of our national spirit in terms of form. This study aims to analyze formal property and intrinsic meaning of Goguryeo clothing for Korean ramie clothing design and draw traditional images to derive design elements applicable to ramie clothing. On the basis of technical books, newspaper article, internet and precedent studies, theoretical study on Goguryeo clothing and ramie property was followed up with positive study to analyze the clothing on the Goguryeo ancient tomb mural. The results are as follows: First, a progressive spirit is to progress and develop anything actively; This spirit represents Goguryeo people's ambition and racial characteristic as horse-riding people; The rigidity of ramie fabric is suitable for expressing straight silhouettes and detail in Goguryeo dress. Second, a fluidity means flowing property in opposition to fixation; in the case of clothing, it has a tendency to change form according to body motions; The extensibility and crease-resistance of ramie fabric is suitable to express pleated skirts and holds high design value for modern people who tend to regard clothing as important individuality expression. Third, a universal property to introduce and receive; as Goguryeo was a prosperous country established by conquering an open plain, the period formed a society that recognized diversity by introducing foreign cultures freely; a universality suggests the direction of modernization of traditional ramie clothing and stimulates us to discovert new design through compromise between various cultures rather than to stick to traditional style. Considering the fact that precedent studies on traditional clothing are concentrated upon the Joseon period and also limited to formal analysis, this study aims to derive design elements for actual clothing making. These results are expected to be used as basic material for study as well as reference for designers who wish to design modern Korean clothing.

Christian Souls and Griqua Boorlings: Religious and Political Identity in Griquatown

The politics of coloured people in twentieth-century South Africa have generally been characterised as marginal from mainstream South African events. Correspondingly, attempts to initiate political developments along cultural or ethnic lines - emphasising Mama or Griqua identity, for example - have been noted primarily for their divisive and factional composition. Such writings focus on overt political action. They highlight either leaders’ involvement with, or opposition to, state structures; or the internal, often petty and frustrated conflicts between leaders, but fail to explain the marginalisation of coloured politics. But this emphasis on ‘the political’ removes from our gaze other, more productive avenues for understanding the identity of mixed-race people in South Africa. Political activity, for the Griqua, cannot be evaluated except through the lens of Christianity. Since religion promises to fulfil people's ambitions through redemption in the afterlife, Griqua-Christian ideas about overt political quests and active campaigning against discrimination - on either an individual or societal level - tended to be deemed unnecessary. As it was God who ultimately meted out punishments or rewards, Griqua people's energies were better used worshipping him. Nonetheless, these same Griqua people lived in the profane world in which - at least during the apartheid era - they were officially classified as ‘coloured’. Their struggles, based primarily on the need for official ethnic recognition as Griqua, were, in effect, political struggles. This partly Griqua, partly coloured identity enabled them considerable political flexibility and produced the complex social patterns explored below. A further distinction underpinning the Griqua-coloured ambiguity was that between inkommers (newcomers) and boorlings (people born to Griqua-town).

Work, Gender and the Life Course: Social Construction and Individual Experience

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of family and labour market on male and female life course patterns. For women in particular, aggregate survey data have often suggested orderly, phased transitions between family and work. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods reveals not only a much greater discontinuity in women's life courses, but sheds light on the hidden normality assumptions that affect women's self-perceptions and shape their work histories. Data come from two German research projects. One followed the life sequences of women -- now in their 60s -- between the years 1949 and 1991. The other examined the life course data of their husbands. Resume: Cet article examine l'impact que la famille et le marche du travail ont sur les modalites de la vie des femmes et celles des hommes. Les donnees cumulees d'etudes precedentes avaient souvent suggere que ces modalites etaient organisees selon des transitions periodiques et ordonnees, en particulier dans le cas des femmes. Notre etude qui combine methodes quantitatives et qualitatives, revele deux elements contredisant cette affirmation. Scion nos resultats, les modalites de la vie des femmes connaissent une plus grande discontinuite que celles des hommes. Cette etude met aussi en lumiere l'existence de suppositions cachees de normalite; ces suppositions affectent la perception qu'ont les femmes d'elles-memes et modelent l'historique de leur vie professionelle. Nos donnees proviennent de deux projets de recherche allemands. L'un de ces projets a suivi de la vie des femmes sur une periode qui debute en 1949 et se termine en 1991. Ces femmes sont maintenant dans leur soixantaine. L'autre projet se concentrait sur les donnees de la vie de leur mari. IntroductionparAlthough a relative newcomer to sociology, life course research with its ability to follow a variety of social and personal dynamics through a person's life span has created a number of theoretical and methodological challenges for sociology (Elder, 1992; George, 1993; Kohli, 1986; Hagestad, 1991; Rosenfeld and Birkelund, 1995; Hakim, 1993). One of its most productive areas has been the intersection of personal life courses with social institutions such as education, family, labour market, or the welfare system (Heinz, 1991; Kohli, Meyer, 1986; Mayer, 1986; Mayer, Muller, 1986; Levy, 1977, 1991). These institutions order the life course by creating formal entry and exit points, but also through informal norms which influence people's ambitions, stock-taking, and self-image at various times during their lives. This perspective is of theoretical relevance for the structure-agency debate in sociology because tracking multiple dimensions of life course development over an extended period of time makes it very clear that structure and personal action determine the life course. But life course research has also revealed new policy challenges stemming from discontinuities between schooling and labour market entry (Blossfeld, 1987; Heinz, 1991; Heinz et al., 1985; Krahn, Lowe, 1993; Lowe, Krahn, 1992), labour market changes and loss of employment, or gender- or age-dependent labour market exits and resources for retirement. Such discontinuities disrupt individual life plans and may require profound changes in personal as well as institutional strategies designed to cope with the resulting stress and insecurity (Esping-Anderson, 1990; Leibfried and Pierson, 1995; Beck, 1986; Weymann, 1989). This study looks at the structural and normative impact of the family and the labour market on male and female life courses. We examine how their institutional characteristics translate into gender-specific differences in female and male life course patterns and their personal interpretation. Data and MethodsparAn examination of the interaction between organizational contexts and subjective meanings requires both quantitative and qualitative data analyses. Such a combined methodology has never before been used in life course research. …
