Recent studies on financial markets have demonstrated that technical analysis can help us effectively predict the stock market index trend. Business systems are widely used for stock market analysis. This paper uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to develop a stock market trading optimization system. Our proposed system can generate a decision-making strategy for buying, holding, and selling stocks for each day and generate high returns for each stock. The system consists of two stages: removing restricted stocks and producing a stock trading strategy. Accordingly, evolutionary computation, like GA, is highly promising because of its intelligence, flexibility, and search strength (fast and efficient). The multiple-objective nature of the utilized algorithm can be regarded as the center of gravity of the research question. The proper functioning or malfunctioning of the resulting portfolio management can be employed as a benchmark for selecting or discarding the algorithm. On the other hand, the research question is focused on the application of technical analysis indicators. Therefore, both aspects of the research question, namely the multiple-objective nature of the algorithm in terms of the analysis method and technical indicators in terms of features selected for analysis, must be taken into account.

Synopsis Although research has shown that nowadays we are less likely to have a lifelong love partner, the media industry has increasingly incorporated 'love' as a guarantor of success for media products of all kinds. My argument is that, in order to sell more, the media industry has constructed a false notion of love. Worse than that, we the audiences have adopted this notion; since this is a false construct, many people have come up with unrealistic expectations of their love life. The results can be seen in the ever-increasing rate of divorce. I argue that we need something that I would call "love literacy" to appropriately respond to one evolutionary intention that exists in all of us.

SynopsisWe are living in a media-saturated world. Not only we receive information, we have become prosumers and are able to communicate with the ‘world.’ This has been widely reflected in the academic texts. But is there a dark side to this ‘age of information freedom?’ My argument in this paper is that although we have gotten rid of one sort of tyranny and can more freely speak up, a more suppressive and widespread process of control and surveillance is underway. Worse than that, we the users seem to be comfort with that.

This study aims to explore the role of e-commerce platforms in facilitating market entry for emerging entrepreneurs, examining the benefits, challenges, and overall impact of these platforms. This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with 25 emerging entrepreneurs to gather in-depth insights into their experiences with e-commerce platforms. The interviews focused on various aspects of platform usage, support and resources provided, challenges faced, and the outcomes of utilizing these platforms. Data were analyzed using NVivo software to identify key themes and subthemes, with theoretical saturation guiding the data collection process. Five main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) E-commerce Platform Usage, encompassing platform selection, initial setup, features and tools, user experience, and integration with other systems; (2) Support and Resources, including educational resources, financial support, technical assistance, marketing support, and networking opportunities; (3) Challenges and Barriers, such as technical issues, financial barriers, competition, and regulatory issues; (4) Outcomes and Impact, highlighting business growth, market access, brand development, and diversified revenue streams; and (5) Entrepreneurial Experience, covering the learning curve, work-life balance, community support, motivation and goals, and adaptability. E-commerce platforms play a crucial role in enabling market entry and supporting business growth for emerging entrepreneurs. These platforms provide essential infrastructure, tools, and resources that simplify business operations and enhance market reach. However, entrepreneurs face challenges related to technical issues, financial constraints, competition, and regulatory complexities.
