The development of information and communication technologies changes how many industries and services operate. Those changes are also concerning all sectors of the travel industry, although some more than others.  Mobile access to the internet allows consumers to purchase through transaction-based applications such as e-ticketing, QR-code services, Bitcoin, E-wallet, and using a third party like PayPal.  E-Wallet is predicted to be one of the future's most successful payment modes but has achieved limited acceptance in developed countries to date. Similarly, this service is considered new in Malaysia.  Utilizing Davis' Technology Acceptance Model, this study examines the factors contributing to E-Wallet's adoption among the millennial tourist in Kuala Lumpur.  Using the self-administrated questionnaires, data from 100 respondents were collected and analyzed using SPSS.  The finding revealed that perceived ease of use of E-Wallet among millennial tourists proved to be the most substantial cause besides the significant positive relationships found from other variables such as perceived usefulness and social influence in the context of millennium tourists.  However, perceived credibility was found not related to the adoption of E-Wallet.  These findings have important theoretical and practical implications, particularly for the development and marketing of E-Wallet service, which will support the long‐term success of mobile commerce.

The purpose of this study is theoretical and methodological substantiation, deepening of the conceptual provisions and development of the scientific and practical recommendations on the formation of mechanisms for crime prevention in the border regions of the southern of Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the need to solve the problem crime by introducing precautionary measures in the border regions of the southern of Ukraine (Bondarenko et al., 2021).The study proved the direct dependence of the level and intensity of crime on the proximity of areas to areas of significant social and criminological tension, to areas of instability and armed conflict, which contributes to the militarization of the population and increasing psychological preparedness for conflict and its antisocial methods (Iatsyshyn et al., 2020). It is established that in the border regions of the south of Ukraine the growth of criminal crime for the studied period significantly exceeds the data for Ukraine. The threats to irredentism and separatism, international terrorism, organized crime of a transnational global scale are real for the southern regions of Ukraine: economic smuggling, smuggling of weapons, ammunition and means of terror, drug trafficking, unregulated migration, trafficking in human beings and their organs. Priorities for Ukraine have been set task of crime prevention: introduction of the newest technologies of protection of a law and order, attraction of scientific and industrial potential of regions, establishment of coordination and interaction between subjects of maintenance of frontier safety at all levels (frontier, national, interstate and international) and cross-border interaction with the international organizations of fight against organized crime. Based on international experience, crime prevention measures in the border regions of southern Ukraine are proposed in the following areas: general social precautionary measures; special criminological precautions;international cooperation in the development of cross-border cooperation;introduction of automated security systems and crime prevention; informational and educational activities of formationlegal culture among the population and the public

The purpose of this research study is to measure the impact of governance on the organizational performance of schools in administrative, financial and pedagogical aspects. This governance approach will be approached using a methodology respecting several principles in terms of participation, transparency, accountability and evaluation (CSEFRS, 2015). Furthermore, we added in our frame of reference the primordial aspect of good governance, which is the new technologies. Considering the difficulty of an etymological and polysemic consensus on the concept of governance. It would be wise to set up operational indicators for applying this notion of governance with a perspective to enhance management skills, multi-stakeholder strategic planning, internal collaborative management, effective and efficient steering, control and evaluation. Methodology / approach: Our methodological approach based on a descriptive exploratory study. The researcher carried out an empirical study involving 20 principals of qualifying secondary schools from the Nouaceur-Casablanca region. Our measurement instrument is related to a survey which is appraised as one of the five principles of effective governance (transparency, accountability, participation, evaluation and technology). Findings: data analysis shows difficulties in applying governance principles, influencing organizational performance in administrative management. Additionally, the educational management and financial management of these establishments have seen a positive application of these governance mechanisms. It would be wise to apply the multidimensional aspects of governance, through the harmonious, complete and balanced integration of the three management mechanisms: administrative, pedagogic and financial management. The relationship between the study variables is demonstrated by the application of the five principles of governance, the results of the study recommended that we apply them to contribute significantly to improve the effectiveness of strategic planning, collaborative management and community steering.  

Considering the organizations’ increasing use of social media, many studies are being conducted in this area. Researchers are faced with a variety of research strategies depending on the nature of the research problem and data. If the right research strategy is not employed, the researcher will lose focus, and the time and effort spent will not necessarily serve the research objectives. When choosing a research strategy, the organization’s characteristics should be taken into consideration; otherwise, it may lead to confounding interpretations of the findings. In this regard, the present study aims to introduce an appropriate research strategy for each maturity stage of the organization under study. To this end, using systematic mapping methodology, about 256 articles published within 2011- 2021 were investigated, and the relationship between the types of research strategy used and the different stages of an organization’s maturity in using social media was reported. Specifically, by synthesizing the social sciences research methodology framework and the social media stage of the growth model, a mapping was developed between the research strategies and maturity stages. Based on this mapping, it is expected that the appropriate strategy for research at the first maturity stage is exploratory, and for the second and third stages are observational and descriptive, respectively. When the organization moves to the fourth and fifth levels, archival and causal strategies are recommended for research. Using the results of this research, researchers will be able to identify the right research strategy for the maturity stage of the organization under study and develop the appropriate research design accordingly.

Penetration of smartphones and increasing use of social media on always-on devices has attracted the attention of enterprises and organizations to benefit from such platforms for better understanding of customers’ needs and more effectively communicate with potential consumers. For this purpose, the present study investigates the impact of social media adoption and media needs on online purchasing behavior. This study has also examined the moderating role of media type, gender and age in the relationship between variables of social media adoption and online purchasing behavior. A total of 410 questionnaires were collected on social media such as Instagram, Telegram and WhatsApp. SEM technique using PLS used as the analytical method to empirically test the proposed hypotheses. Results show that the effects of tension dimension on online purchasing behavior is mediated by social media adoption. Moreover, the effects of social media adoption on online purchasing behavior are moderated by age and medium type based on Multi-Group Analysis. The IPMA matrix shows that social media adoption had the highest importance, but the lowest performance. This study is significant in terms of innovation due to the use of new indicators effective in the area of statistical analyses. The use of FIMIX, CTA, permutation test, MGA, and IPMA matrix analyses is part of it.

Opportunistic networks in the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, also known as OppIoT, espouse IoT devices interactions opportunistically in order to improve connectivity, the lifetime of the network, and network reliability. An increase in opportunistic utilization is fostered by IoT applications to find communication opportunities whenever possible to route and deliver data efficiently. In this opportunistic scenario, devising an efficient path for data delivery is a challenging work due to uncertainty in the connection between the nodes and the selection of intermediate forwarder nodes for data delivery towards the destination. Considering the scenario of uncertainty in device location and exploiting IoT devices opportunistically, this paper propounds a routing algorithm for OppIoT called Hybrid Multi-Copy Routing Algorithm (HMCRA). The proposed algorithm finds potential forwarder nodes by using fuzzy logic wherein residual energy, distance, and speed of the nodes are considered as input values while preparing fuzzy rules. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is considered along with fuzzy logic to select an efficient path for data delivery. In GA, the delay is taken as the fitness function to select a reliable path for data delivery. Simulation results of the proposed algorithm perform well in contrast with relative existing routing algorithms with respect to latency, overhead ratio, delivery probability, and hop count. The work uniqueness lies in the selection of potential nodes and finding path having less hop count in an opportunistic IoT network scenario.

Learning effective segment depictions and resemblance measures are fundamental to the recuperation execution of a substance based picture recuperation (CBIR) structure. Regardless of wide research tries for a significant long time, it stays one of the most testing open gives that broadly impedes the achievements of real-world CBIR structures. The key test has been credited to the extraordinary "semantic hole" subject that happens between low-level photo pixels got by technologies and raised close semantic thoughts saw by a human. Among various techniques, AI has been successfully analyzed as a possible course to interface the semantic gap in the whole deal. Impelled by late triumphs of significant learning techniques for PC vision and various applications, in this paper, we try to address an open issue: if significant learning is a longing for spreading over the semantic gap in CBIR and how much updates in CBIR endeavors can be cultivated by exploring the front line significant learning methodology for learning feature depictions and likeness measures. Specifically, we explore a structure of significant learning with application to CBIR assignments with a wide game plan of definite examinations by investigating front line significant learning methodologies for CBIR endeavors under moved settings. From our exploratory examinations, we find some encouraging results and compress some huge bits of information for upcoming research.
