Is digital heroin creating disturbing behaviors among children?: Moderating Role of Smartphone Addicted Parents
In: Acta Carolus Robertus, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 83-93
ISSN: 2498-9312
Addiction of cell phones, tabletsand computers is creating disturbing behaviors among society members universally. The purpose of this study is to describe the influence of digital heroin on youngsters that are students of top Montessori schools and how their parent's addictive habits acts as a moderator. This research includes the survey of four hundred and fifty respondents, most of them are the parents of children aged between 3 to 8 years in Lahore, Pakistan. Gymboree (a Montessori academy by Beaconhouse), Lahore Grammar School and Choueifat was included in this survey. The results of the survey exhibit that overwhelming usage of digital gadgets has sudden and significant influence on the youngsters' health; the greater the addiction of parents towards smart phones, greater is the tendency of a child to demonstrate disturbing behavior. Children of this age are having more interaction with digital technology but there is a very fine line between healthy and addictive usage. There are a lot of reasons why parents let their children use smart gadgets for a longer period of time, one of the reasons of which is easy parenting. This research can play a significant role for social science as well as for technological companies who need to realize that the real game lies in long term goodwill and not the short-term profitability through considering the drivers of youngsters's psychological problem.
Examining the convergence of dominant themes related to social entrepreneurship, NGOs and globalization–A systematic literature review
In: PloS one
Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an all-encompassing concept in comparison to a typical non-government organization (NGO). It is a topic that has captured the interest of academics investigating nonprofit, charitable, and nongovernmental organizations. Despite the interest, few studies have examined the overlap and convergence of entrepreneurship and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in congruence with the new phase of globalization. The study gathered and evaluated 73 peer-reviewed papers using a systematic literature review methodology, mainly from Web of Science but also from Scopus, JSTOR, and Science Direct, and supplemented by a search of existing databases and bibliographies. Based on the findings, 71 percent of studies suggest that organizations must reconsider the concept of social work, which has evolved rapidly, aided by globalization. The concept has changed from the NGO model to a more sustainable one, such as that proposed by SE. However, it is difficult to draw broad generalizations regarding the convergence of context-dependent complex variables such as SE, NGOs, and globalization. The results of the study will significantly contribute to a better understanding of the convergence of SE and NGOs, as well as the recognition that many aspects of NGOs, SE, and post-COVID globalization remain unexamined.
Importance of wellbeing strategies at the workplace: A case study of organizations in Hungary
In: Acta Carolus Robertus, Band 13, Heft 2, S. 146-159
ISSN: 2498-9312
Improving wellbeing at the workplace is the most talked-about topic in human resource management these days. Organizations now are not just focusing on the output of employees, but they are also focusing on how they manage to give input and how they feel at the workplace. Substantial research has been conducted in the area which reveals that the sustainable performance of employees is directly related to the mental health, vitality, and wellbeing of employees. Organizations need to put employee vitality and wellbeing as a priority in their operations. This study aims to understand the factors that influence the well-being of employees in the workplace and how they can improve. The study also reveals how the organizations that have a sound wellbeing strategy impact the overall performance and mental health of employees working in those organizations. 162 respondents filled the questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS. The results show that the size of the budget for well-being and the existence of a well-being strategy impacts the ability of companies to offer well-being programs. Another important finding from the research is that the geographical location of the company impacts the existence of well-being strategies in companies, and they can differ depending on the geographical location. It was also found that if a company needs a well-being strategy, it is not impacted by the size of the company. The more companies invest in ensuring the wellbeing and mental health of employees, the more the employee motivation and meaningfulness at work improves, resulting in better performance.
An Automatic System to Detect Presence of Water in Supply Lines and Maintain Water level of Underground and Overhead Tanks
Commonly most of the houses rely upon the overhead and underground tanks as the main source of water. People usually turn on the motor when their taps go dry and switch off the motor when the tank starts overflowing. This results in needless wasting of water and the lack of water in emergencies. This water is mostly coming through supply line pipes installed by the government through different schemes. The timing of this water coming is mostly irregular because it varies time to time, and in areas where it is fixed, the time is inconvenient for domestic residents to switch ON their motors and fill their tanks. Either the water comes late at night or in the daytime when the people are mostly at their jobs, so they are unable to turn ON their motors. This paper presents a solution to both these problems, a hardware model has been developed using Arduino as the main microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors to detect the level of water in tanks two pumping motors one for underground and one for an overhead tank. And one a water flow sensor is used to automatically detect the water coming in supply lines and switch on the motor. The proposed system saves water, electrical power and human efforts as the whole system is automatic.
