The Impact

The emergence of a wave of the Covid-19 pandemic that started in Indochina which eventually hit Indonesia also hit the business world on all fronts. The thing to be grateful for is the resilience of the MSME sector which is relatively able to withstand all conditions even in unexpected conditions such as Covid-19. This study uses a comparative method, namely: before the pandemic, the beginning of the pandemic (1-3 months), and during the new normal era with the object of a cafe cafe in Minggir, Sleman, Yogyakarta. From about 10 cafes in Minggir, only 5 cafes that meet the requirements were selected as research samples. By using SPSS analysis it is known that for the period before the pandemic the following regression results were obtained: Service concept = 0.819 + 0.805 (purchase decision) +0.391 (income level), at the beginning of the pandemic: Service Concept = 0.819 = 1.470 (Purchase Decision) + 36.1 ( Income Level), and in the New Normal era: Service Concept = 6,273 + 0.364 (Purchase Kep) +19.55 (Income Level). So it is found that there is a significant difference between cafe managers who use online services and social media and those who are vacuum (without social media activity) to establish communication with customers. The impact was very real even in the New Normal era. In conclusion, cafe managers who used social media in the early days of the pandemic, in fact in the new normal era, the level of purchase and income increased by 50%, it is assumed that from the additional new customers obtained at the beginning of the pandemic due to the influence of social media.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose the concept of conviction in online environment. It examines the vital role of conviction and firm’s brand reputation while understanding the impact of social media usage and electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM) on purchase decisions of Generation Y. Design/methodology/approach Literature review resulted in six constructs – social media usage, EWOM, conviction, firm’s brand reputation and purchase intention and customer loyalty. The authors adopted the concept of conviction from another field of enquiry (organizational learning), conducted a qualitative study and an e-mail survey with post-graduate management students (Generation Y) of a university to examine the impact of social media and EWOM on customer purchase decision. Data were collected and analyzed with the help of structural equation modeling. Findings Results indicated that impact of social media usage and EWOM on purchase decision is mediated by conviction. Firm’s reputation as brand (perceived by the customer) moderates the relationship between EWOM and purchase intention in a manner that this relationship is significantly stronger if there is more positive brand reputation. Originality/value This study validates the concept of conviction in online environment. The purchase decision is defined as purchase intention and loyalty of the customer.

Media Data

Abstract. The main factor determining the possibility of using data obtained from social media as a source of information about the threat of emergencies is their relevance and accuracy. Thus, the important task is the determination of metrics for evaluating these parameters for a specific publication in a social media. It is worth noting the importance of this information channel as a source of eyewitness accounts from the scene. A comparison of social media data and official sources shows that social media contain a significant amount of unique information at different stages of emergency development. Also, when monitoring the situation for a specific event, social media allows to get more relevant information in comparison to official sources. Another important task is to search for emergency messages and their most accurate localization in space. A promising solution for the analysis and processing of social media data during emergency response is the application of artificial intelligence methods, and, particularly, machine learning techniques.

The Impact

The effectiveness of in-hospital self-care patient education, delivered to patients following heart surgery, is questionable, as evidence indicates individuals are not able to absorb and/or retain information at this time. In the absence of adequate instruction, individuals will not have the relevant information to engage in specific self-care behaviors, resulting in the onset of complications and/or hospital readmissions. The purpose of this pilot study was to collect preliminary evidence to demonstrate the impact of an individualized education intervention given above and beyond usual care, delivered, at two points in time, following hospital discharge. A randomized controlled trial was used in which 34 patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Chi-square analyses to examine differences between groups on complications and hospital readmission rates were conducted. Findings point to the impact of the intervention in reducing the number of hospital readmissions and complications at 3 months following hospital discharge.

This chapter reports selected findings from a small-scale, exploratory study aiming to provide a snapshot of actual modes of uptaking new digital tools for research purposes. The study consists in an interview project, carried out in a large Italian university and constituted by semi-structured interviews to 14 senior, young, and doctoral researchers, working in humanities, social sciences, medicine, and physics subject areas. Whereas the most popular attitude is a pragmatic and efficiency-driven approach in selecting and using old and new tools, a few isolated profiles of digital scholars emerge, championing the construction of their digital identity along with networked modes of knowledge production and distribution, despite the lack of legitimation of their own research context.

Abstract A pilot self-care educational training, focusing on common caregiving stress, self-care, conflicts, and communication within families for supporting caregiving for family members of old age, was offered to the Chinese American community. After the series of training, 16 participants were asked to evaluate their knowledge of family caregiving as well as the training. Results of the preliminary study revealed that most participants found the training informative but were not sure if they would continue to apply over time. Overall participants reported to be satisfied with the training and receptive to additional training in the future. Results encourage further implementing the training, and investigation of the longitudinal effect of the training to help with family caregiving issues.

The Impact

Nowadays, environmental problems are rising due to the individuals’ consumption behaviour, which necessitates serious attention. Consumers gradually become aware of the effect of their consumption behaviour on the environment and make a difference. Social media, particularly Instagram, play a major role in increasing awareness and promoting environmentally friendly behaviour. Hence, it is crucial to investigate the impact of Instagram on green consumption intention, which is the best predictor of behaviour. By reviewing the existing literature, the current study develops a conceptual model regarding the effect of Instagram influencers’ green activity on followers’ intention. As the model proposes, green attitude and green consumption intention are shaped among followers by the Instagram influencers’ green concern, green photo content, and green word of mouth (WOM). Additionally, it is proposed that the perceived credibility of followers moderated the link between green WOM and green consumption intention. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by developing a new model that helps identify green consumption intention determinants.
