Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the tourism industry harshly. The most effective way to steer clear of the virus is global vaccination. A novel concept of vaccine tourism arises from vaccine manufacturing corporations' limited stock and production capacity. The current paper aims to demystify the socio-legal and ethical underpinnings of vaccine tourism as well as analyze the restrictions on international travel imposed by major countries. The research critically examines key issues considering the literature's current arguments and integrates the current developments and challenges in the field of vaccine tourism. The paper addresses the fact that, in the current circumstances of travel restrictions, insufficiency of raw materials, ambiguous policies, vaccine passport authenticity, skewed distribution, and scarcity of vaccines around the world, the implementation of vaccine tourism is a big challenge. The study tries to understand the emerging concept of vaccine tourism and the major challenges to its growth. Vaccine tourism may be an instrument to revive the tourism sector post-COVID; therefore, understanding the current emerging issues around it would be significant for tourism literature. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-012 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The presence of COVID-19 has transformed the business sector’s paradigm and prompted a speedy consumption of mobile payment software systems of diverse ranges. Corporate sectors and businesses across the globe brought a shift to offer mobile payment methods; consequently, consumers were urged to maximize the use of mobile payment throughout the pandemic. The present research aims to investigate the factors that might influence consumers' intent to accept mobile payments and their relationships during COVID-19. The technology adoption model and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology were employed in this proposed mobile payment adoption framework. A quantitative research approach was identified as a suitable method for this research. An online survey was administered, and 304 participants responded to the questionnaire. The results of the data analysis revealed statistically significant relationships and a positive impact of the factors perceived performance, social influence, consumers’ satisfaction, and perceived usefulness on consumers’ usage continuation intention. However, the results identified that factors such as transaction risk didn’t affect perceived usefulness, and financial transaction transparency didn’t affect consumers’ usage intention. This study makes a substantial contribution to the consumers’ technology acceptance literature in terms of validating a proposed theoretical framework that highlights the factors that influence consumers’ mobile payment usage intentions. As this study was conducted at a later stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, it adds value to the existing literature by providing insights to business managers on the factors influencing mobile payment usage. Considering the practical perspective, this study offers evidence of the essential elements that mobile payment service designers and marketers should consider. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

In various disciplines, discerning dependencies between variables remains a crucial undertaking. While correlation measures like Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall provide insight into the degree of two-variable relationships, they fall short of revealing the intricate structure of dependencies between these variables. The Clayton copula, known for its flexible attributes, becomes instrumental in unveiling this dependency structure. This paper aims to advance knowledge by providing an explicit formula for creating Wald confidence intervals (CIs) for the dependence parameter in a bivariate Clayton copula, along with a mathematical derivation of the observed Fisher information. In comparison, we also propose likelihood CIs, whose performance we examine in simulation studies using both coverage probability and average length of CIs as performance indicators. Our findings reveal that in scenarios characterized by small sample sizes, likelihood-based CIs, despite their slightly more complex computational requirements, outperform Wald CIs, yielding a coverage probability more proximate to the nominal confidence level of 0.95. However, in situations involving large samples and a dependence parameter distant from zero, both Wald and likelihood-based CIs demonstrate comparable utility. For real-world data applications, the daily closing prices of two cryptocurrencies are analyzed using the proposed CIs. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Creating and maintaining a secure and supportive educational environment is essential for the success and well-being of university students. This study investigates the interplay between drug abuse, delinquency, sociocultural factors, and the security of the educational environment. Drawing upon a sample of 356 students from the Federal State-Funded Institution of Higher Education—Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics (TUSUR), we employed a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to analyze the data. The findings indicate that sociocultural security significantly influences students' behavioral intentions, with a confirmed negative impact on the intention to commit delinquency (β = -0.461, p < 0.05). Additionally, student well-being demonstrates a significant negative relationship with the intention to use drugs (β = -0.583, p < 0.01) and the intention to commit delinquency (β = -0.714, p < 0.001). However, the impact of sociocultural security and well-being on the intention to use drugs was not confirmed (β = -0.731, p > 0.05). Furthermore, the study reveals that students' behavioral intentions significantly affect the security of the educational environment. The intention to use drugs and the intention to commit delinquency negatively impact the security of the educational environment (β = -0.635, p > 0.05; β = -0.660, p < 0.05, respectively). These findings contribute to the understanding of the complex dynamics that shape the educational environment in universities. The study highlights the importance of promoting sociocultural security and fostering student well-being to prevent negative behavioral intentions and maintain a secure learning environment. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Administrative empowerment aims to enhance teamwork spirit and expand the scope of supervision by giving workers the necessary powers and ability to make decisions towards sustainable management and decentralization. This study aims to determine the effect of the administrative empowerment context on developing the leadership skills of the second-level leaders in the Council of Administrative Affairs for the Judiciary in the Sultanate of Oman towards a more sustainable modern environment in this sector. Analysis of variances (ANOVA) method was utilized to investigate the effect of several related factors, including delegation of authority, task forces, effective communication, and training. Results have revealed that the current level of administrative empowerment was found medium in the council. However, the level of leadership skills of the second-level leaders was found to be high, but with insignificant utilization. It was also found that there were statistically significant effects for all the dimensions of administrative empowerment on developing the leadership skills of the second-level leaders. The novel results of the impact of delegation of authority on the environment of the judiciary in Oman have several consequences in the field. It can practically change the delegation of authority in the council to enhance administrative empowerment and the skill development of second-level leaders in the judiciary sector. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The paper proposes a way of enriching the composition of mixed fodder by combining two promising technologies with known effects: inclusion of germinated grain in the composition and extrusion. Crude and digestible protein, fiber, fat, and mineral elements Ca, K, Na, and P were studied. Inclusion of sprouted grain into mixed fodder and subsequent extrusion contribute to improvements in taste qualities, increased edibility, and assimilation of mixed fodder, as well as nutritive value. Taking into account the obtained knowledge about the influence of temperature regime and content of germinated triticale grain in mixed fodder production, it is advisable to continue research to adapt the technology and develop formulations for different types of animals and farm birds. The purpose of the study was to optimize the process of extrusion of sprouted triticale grain in order to reduce energy consumption and obtain high-quality extrudates. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to analyze the regime factors affecting the fat content based on the optimization of technological modes of extrusion. To optimize the technology of extrusion of triticale grain of the Kozha variety, the fat content was chosen as the target function. Optimization of the technology of extrusion of triticale grain of the Kozha variety was carried out by the method of nonlinear programming. The following optimal technological modes of grain extrusion were obtained: The content of sprouted triticale grain is 15%, and the extrusion temperature is 140°C. With these optimal grain processing modes, the target function was 1.12%. The practical significance of the technology of the production of compound feeds with the use of extrusion in order to improve the quality and increase the shelf life. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

One of the main challenges when training or fine-tuning a machine learning model concerns the number of observations necessary to achieve satisfactory performance. While, in general, more training observations result in a better-performing model, collecting more data can be time-consuming, expensive, or even impossible. For this reason, investigating the relationship between the dataset's size and the performance of a machine learning model is fundamental to deciding, with a certain likelihood, the minimum number of observations that are necessary to ensure a satisfactory-performing model is obtained as a result of the training process. The learning curve represents the relationship between the dataset’s size and the performance of the model and is especially useful when choosing a model for a specific task or planning the annotation work of a dataset. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to find the functions that best fit the learning curves of a Transformers-based model (LayoutLM) when fine-tuned to extract information from invoices. Two new datasets of invoices are made available for such a task. Combined with a third dataset already available online, 22 sub-datasets are defined, and their learning curves are plotted based on cross-validation results. The functions are fit using a non-linear least squares technique. The results show that both a bi-asymptotic and a Morgan-Mercer-Flodin function fit the learning curves extremely well. Also, an empirical relation is presented to predict the learning curve from a single parameter that may be easily obtained in the early stage of the annotation process. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Fingerprint database clustering is one of the methods used to reduce localization time and improve localization accuracy in a fingerprint-based localization system. However, optimal selection of initial hyperparameters, higher computation complexity, and interpretation difficulty are among the performance-limiting factors of these clustering algorithms. This paper aims to improve localization time and accuracy by proposing a clustering algorithm that is extremely efficient and accurate at clustering fingerprint databases without requiring the selection of optimal initial hyperparameters, is computationally light, and is easily interpreted. The two closest wireless access points (APs) to the reference location where the fingerprint is generated, as well as the labels of the two APs in vector form, are used by the proposed algorithm to cluster fingerprints. The simulation result shows that the proposed clustering algorithm has a localization time that is at least 45% faster and a localization accuracy that is at least 25% higher than the k-means, fuzzy c-means, and lightweight maximum received signal strength clustering algorithms. The findings of this paper further demonstrate the real-time applicability of the proposed clustering algorithm in the context of indoor wireless localization, as low localization time and higher localization accuracy are the main objectives of any localization system. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-019 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to identify the factors influencing greenhouse development in Uzbekistan. Supported by the literature, the conceptual model of the study hypothesized that economic viability, supportive infrastructure services, enablers, and competition impacts positively affect greenhouse development. Therefore, a questionnaire was administered among 200 individuals working in greenhouses across the Tashkent, Syrdarya, Jizzakh, and Bukhara regions. Quantitative empirical evidence using structural equation modeling revealed that enablers and competition impacts have a significant positive influence on greenhouse development. However, economic viability and supportive infrastructure services did not have a direct impact, although they indirectly contributed to the overall growth and functioning of the greenhouse industry. The study provides theoretical contributions by identifying key factors influencing greenhouse development and offers practical recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to foster an enabling environment, manage competition effectively, enhance supportive infrastructure, promote international collaboration and investment, encourage research and development, and strengthen market linkages. This research contributes to the understanding of greenhouse development in Uzbekistan and provides insights for evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning in the industry. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-014 Full Text: PDF
