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. |
