Health and safety issues are fast becoming established
fundamental antecedents in the development, survival and growth of Small to
Medium enterprises (SMEs) throughout the globe. The study sought to find
out the main causes of workplace related accidents in SMEs in the
construction industry. Furthermore, the study sought to establish
managerial strategies employed by SMEs in the construction industry to curb
workplace related accidents and also to develop a good health and safety
culture in their employees. A quantitative research approach was utilised
with closed ended questionnaire being used as the main data collection
instrument. A multiple descriptive case study was used to carry out this
study. Data was collected from a sample of 100 (Female-20; male-80), drawn
from SMEs in the construction industry in Masvingo urban. Data analysis was
done using the Statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version
21 and Microsoft Excel. The study established that the main precipitators
of accidents at workplaces are inappropriate machinery and equipment,
inadequate awareness campaigns, failure to put danger warning signage,
inadequate and inappropriate personal protective equipment. The strategies that can be employed to
curb workplace accidents in the construction industry are giving workers
incentives for not involved in accidents, safety meetings before work
start, effective communication system, and employee participation on safety
issues, training and development, creation of a safety committee and
designing a good and effective layout.

The food and
beverages industry is one of the most contributing sectors for Indonesian
economic growth. It is a profitable business to invest in, due to the
development of the Indonesian population. However, the competition in the
market is inevitable; thus, companies need to generate strategies of
differentiation to retain the customers. One crucial thing in maintaining
customer loyalty is to have good management in customer experience.
Customer experience was mainly discussed in the Business to Customer (B2C)
sector but limitedly explored in the Business to Business (B2B) sector.
Customer satisfaction can directly affect and predict customer repurchase
intention and customer loyalty. Repurchase intention is crucial in the B2B
industry because the buying process in the B2B industry is a rational
decision, and it costs more to deal with the new customers than keeping
customers already had. Therefore, current research is focused on customer
experience; value, loyalty, and satisfaction on repurchase intention in one
beverage manufacturing company in Indonesia whose market focus is on the
B2B sector. Quantitative research was conducted on July 13th, 2021, to
August 5th, 2021 using the availability sampling method and obtained 85
respondents who are the customers of the beverage manufacturing company in
Indonesia. Data was analyzed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square –
Structural Equation Modelling) method. This study shows that 78.2% of
repurchase intention is explained and significantly affected by the
variables discussed in the research. Customer satisfaction is more likely
to affect the repurchase intention. However, customer value has no
significant effect on repurchase intention. Therefore, it is hoped that
this study will give insights to B2B organization managers to set their
marketing strategy.

The main objective of
our work is to determine whether the Algerian economic policy adopted since
independence can claim sustainable development from an economic point of
view, and how this could be accomplish in harmony with environmental
protection. In order to achieve the objective of this study, we used an
approach that consists of examining the main causes of the ecological
problems in relation to the economic policy implemented by the Algerian
state. The analysis of the results obtained led us to identify the link
between economic and industrial policies and the modification of the
environmental situation in Algeria.

The study used an
ex-post facto research design to determine the effect of corporate
governance traits on the corporate risk reporting of Nigerian publicly
traded financial services firms. The population of research was comprised
of all fifty-two (52) publicly traded financial services companies in
Nigeria as at October 2021. To sample thirty-nine (39) publicly traded
financial services companies, a judgmental sampling approach was used.
Secondary data was taken from annual reports and financial statements of
selected Nigerian publicly traded financial services companies for five (5)
fiscal years covering 2015–2019 and analyzed using multiple regression
analysis. The findings demonstrate a favorable association between the size
of the board of directors and corporate risk reporting by Nigerian
financial businesses. While independent directors and board gender have no
effect on the corporate risk reporting of Nigerian financial services
companies. Board activity and profitability have an inverse relationship
with corporate risk reporting of Nigerian financial firms. Finally, the
research establishes a positive correlation between business size and
financial services companies' corporate risk reporting in Nigeria. It is
recommended that the regulatory bodies formulate laws relating to risk
governance that will enhance corporate risk reporting in Nigeria. Also, the
number of independent and female directors should be increased so as to
have more influence on decisions that can increase risk reporting
transparency.

Sepakung Village is
also known as the digital village because of the installation of wireless
internet connection facilities in 12 districts around the village. The
difficulty of obtaining information in the industry 4.0 era has allowed
village officials to create unlimited access opportunities for rural
communities as part of the digital benefits and simplify the administrative
procedures for residents currently outside the village. This research aims
to measure the level of cyber resilience of digital villages, and to find a
model of cyber resilience for the development of digital villages in
Indonesia based on laws and policies, economy, society and culture,
politics and technology. This study is based on the survey data collection
method, using questionnaire surveys, and closed-end statements based on the
supplementary survey data filling method, using the Likert scale (interval)
as the measurement mode of the respondent's answer. The number of
participants was 11, most of them were between 15-20 years old. This study
shows that most of the interviewees have sufficient understanding, insight
and response measures to the threats facing the digital world, but lack
collective improvement activities. Cooperation among village stakeholders
(including officials, communities, scholars and governments) is needed to
realize a digital village community with comprehensive and sustainable
network resilience in a borderless global community.

Based on the
strategic management processes, it is particularly necessary to initiate
but also develop a connection between CSR integration through a dynamic
approach and the social philosophy of management, a systematic analysis of
the processes that strategically manage CSR and the socially oriented
implementation of the topic strategic integration of CSR. Related to these
research topics we need to know closely the strategic management processes
that integrate CSR, how they work, what influences strategic change and
especially how we can define the management tools used to support the implementation
of social management philosophy. In this sense, it is absolutely necessary
to initiate a theoretical model that highlights, from an organic point of
view but also structurally, the dynamics of the relations supported by the
philosophy of social management.

Cross-platform
framework is becoming more and more popular. Many giant tech companies have
their own offering with different programming languages. With so many
choices, sometimes it is difficult for a start-up developer to choose which
framework will they use for their project. Therefore, this research aims to
give insight for start-up developers on which cross-platform framework is
better between Flutter and React Native by comparing their performance.
This research achieved its goal by creating two identical mobile
applications using Flutter and React Native and then comparing their
performance using a theoretical framework that measures load time, average
frame rate, and memory usage. The result of this testing is that Flutter
has a shorter load time at 1.69 second compared to React Native at 4.26
second and lower memory usage at 6.52MB compared to React Native at 27.6MB.
Their average frame rate is very comparable hovering around 60 frames per
second. With faster load time and lower memory usage Flutter has better
performance wise compared to React Native.
