This study has examined the experiences of students and teachers with distance education in Uzbekistan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Distance education is a new field in Uzbekistan, and evidence-based practices should be examined for its successful implementation. A convergent mixed-methods design was used, employing surveys and focus group interviews. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and the focus group interview data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed that students and faculty had both positive and negative experiences with distance education, but also suggested that teachers were more self-efficacious in teaching online rather than students learning online. This exploratory study indicates that students need targeted instruction and support on studying online and self-regulate their learning. Teachers should participate in intensive professional learning workshops on materials design and pedagogical practices in online classes. Practical applications and ideas for future research are discussed.

The COVID-19 outbreak has altered consumer purchasing patterns and behavior worldwide. Online shopping services have grown rapidly in Vietnam in recent years, owing to the coronavirus's highly contagious nature and the convenience of online buying and delivery. For that reason, the authors carried out a study to determine online shopping intention, which aims to discover which factors affect intentions. Then, managerial implications are proposed to help businesses develop appropriate business strategies in the new, post-COVID period. The data was collected from 700 consumers buying online products. Five critical factors affecting online shopping intention were identified: perceived usefulness, ease of use, confidence, safety level, and customer service. The research paper applied structural equation modeling to study individual customers' intentions to purchase online shopping products by adding the customer service element to the research model and using a customer-oriented approach to find out users’ intentions to purchase products on online platforms.

The study aims to investigate the characteristics of socio-economic development in the context of countries’ tourism advancement. The paper analyzes the Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI) and the Happiness Rating (HR). The sample covers data from 102 countries for the year 2021. The analysis showed that there are differences in the relationships between TTDI and HR, as well as their sub-indices, among groups of countries distributed according to income level. The research methodology includes the use of such methods as correlation analysis to determine the relationships between indicators like factor analysis to identify the degree of indicators' influence on the sample and a graphical method to visualise the analysis results. The study uses the World Bank approach to classify countries into income groups. The study confirms that a country's welfare level is one factor that determines patterns in various areas, including tourism.

The agricultural sector plays a significant role in Vietnam's economy, contributing to food security, employment, and export revenues. The European Union (EU) has emerged as a promising market for Vietnam's agricultural exports in recent years. However, Vietnam must embrace technological advancements in the agricultural sector to penetrate and succeed in the highly competitive and regulated EU market. Despite the evidence supporting the positive impact of technology adoption on agricultural exports, there is a research gap regarding the specific role of technological readiness in promoting Vietnam's agricultural exports to the EU. This study aims to fill this research gap by investigating the relationship between technological readiness and Vietnam's agricultural exports to the EU market. The findings can provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to formulate strategies that enhance the competitiveness of Vietnam's agricultural sector and increase exports to the EU market.

Tourism experts have considered the local perspective as an important area of research involving the tourist sector. Residents of places where sharing and preserving their culture are essential can experience both positive and negative effects from tourism. This study examined how Indian Buddhist circuit residents felt about tourism using a benefits-based approach. The paper's primary goal is to investigate residents' perceptions of tourism development in the Buddhist circuit in India. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale from 175 Buddhist circuit residents in India, who had 31 statements. The researcher used a convenience sampling approach. The study took place over 24 weeks from January to July 2022. According to the results, people living in Buddhist circuits are more sensitive to tourism's economic effects than its cultural and social aspects. The local community will support tourism growth if it brings about considerable personal benefits.

Implementing green production management (GPM) practices has become increasingly vital for ensuring a sustainable future. Integrating green scientific research into the aluminum industry is imperative for achieving economic and environmental benefits. Despite being touted as a "green metal," the aluminum production process presents significant sustainability challenges. Notably, the industry contributes a substantial 3% to global carbon emissions, with the production of one metric ton of primary aluminum releasing 10-20 metric tons of CO2. Thus, reducing these emissions is critical to promoting environmental sustainability within the industry. This article meticulously examines this pressing issue and analyzes potential strategies to foster a greener aluminum production process. The intrinsic value of this study lies in its capacity to make substantive contributions towards environmentally sustainable practices in this specific industrial domain.

Shortly after the restoration of Georgia's independence, the United States became an important strategic partner. On June 20, 2007, a trade and investment framework agreement was signed between the U.S. and Georgia. This agreement is to expand trade in goods and services between countries, as well as to improve the investment environment in Georgia. Although Georgia does not yet have a Free Trade Agreement with the United States, this research aimed to assess the trade potential between Georgia and the U.S. through a gravity model using panel data for the period 2000-2021. The bilateral trade gravity model was evaluated by EGLS, two-stage EGLS, and GMM techniques, which included the following variables: GDP, population, distance, and trade openness between Georgia and partner countries. In addition, dummy variables such as religion, common border, and trade agreement also play a role. The results of the study also revealed that Georgia's foreign trade potential with the United States is fragile.

The newly emerged type of coronavirus observed in Wuhan, China, in 2019 has affected human health and healthcare systems and rattled and altered all systems of society. In particular, it has changed consumer behaviors and likely caused most of those behavioral changes to become permanent. The pandemic caused by this coronavirus has also transformed the nature of business, especially global e-commerce, resulting in a massive increase in the number of individuals who stayed at home and made online purchases. The main purpose of this research is to identify changed e-commerce consumer behaviors in Azerbaijan during the pandemic through the use of a survey. Analytical methods involving the collection and analysis of topic-relevant works and the collection of data through a survey. Survey results were analyzed via SPSS.

This study has employed Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to identify the most suitable model for assessing the eligibility of Vietnamese coffee farmers for bank loans, effectively avoiding overfitting and ensuring that only the most crucial variables were considered in the analysis. Findings from the study indicate that factors such as ethnicity, labor, yield, land ownership, and willingness to participate (WTP) in coffee insurance significantly influenced the farmers' eligibility for bank loans. Moreover, the study suggests that banks and insurance companies should also take into account additional factors, such as socio-economic context, household size and composition, land ownership, and risk-sharing programs, to enhance access to credit. With this valuable information, banks can forge partnerships with insurance companies to craft highly effective loan programs and insurance products tailored to Vietnamese farmers' unique needs. The simplicity, practicality, and strong predictive ability of the model chosen by BMA make it a valuable tool for guiding policy decisions.
