E-business is playing a larger and more important role in today's modern business environment. In many firms, regardless of their activity or size, electronic communication has become an unavoidable part of business processes. This entails the development and extension of effective external electronic communication with customers, as well as the strengthening of internal electronic communication among employees. This study is an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of applying the intranet in the company "Post" of Serbia. Basis of the research were the employees in "Post" of Serbia, in the region of Srem. The purpose of this paper was to determine the relationship between intranet design and its efficient operation in the company Post of Serbia. According to research and analysis of the results obtained, the current intranet design does not provide its true application, weakening its very important function in terms of supporting the company's e-business. The fact that Serbia is a country in transition, and that market liberalization has a large impact on the operation of public services, emphasises the importance of subject research.Scientific information obtained through research on the title subject may be useful in the management of public services in Serbia and other countries in transition.

The study looked into the psychological factors that influence secondary school adolescents' academic achievement in the Shamva district. The design for the study is ex-post-facto. The current study population consists of 300 participants who were chosen at random and independently. To collect data, two standardised instruments labelled "Psychological Factors Assessment Questionnaire and Economics Achievement Test" were used. The instruments' reliability was 0.91 and 0.86, respectively. For the investigation, two hypotheses were formulated. An independent t-test was used to analyse the data collected. The results of the data analysis revealed that school phobia has a considerable impact on children' academic progress, whereas achievement motivation had no effect. The researchers recommended that teachers, parents, counsellors, and school officials be made aware of the existing association between self-concept, anxiety, achievement motivation, and focus of control and academic achievement based on the findings of this study. This would allow them to provide better, more useful, and relevant educational, vocational, personal, and social services to secondary school students, teachers, parents, school officials, and the community, allowing them to recognise and appreciate the presence of individual differences among students and how to best reinforce them in all situations.

By the beginning of the twenty-first century, education in public and private schools, as well as higher education institutions, was undergoing rapid methodological changes, shifting from huge residential to online, blended, and wireless teaching and learning. On the other hand, assessment, despite being regarded as the backbone of educational systems and the main operating mechanism of classroom educational programs, is either neglected or done irregularly, as in the case of diagnostic needs and formative assessments. Furthermore, the benefits of face-to-face communication, education, counselling, guidance, and follow-up of students' learning successes are often lacking in online schooling (OLS). As a result, it is critical for OLS to adopt a compatible systemic approach to first deliver curricula, instruction, and learning in more rational ways; second, fill the assessment gap that current schooling is suffering from; and third, mentor students of blended learning toward their achievement goals. The systemic assessment framework presented in this study for measuring blended achievement in transnational schools as collaborative learning communities is intended to serve above ultimate reforming purposes.

In recent years, education-understood as a mixture of methodologies- has suffered from a lack of innovation. Despite ICTs were implemented in many classrooms at all educational levels, something else was lacking. Consequently, gamification appeared as a solution to this issue. Thus, the objective of this piece of work is to design an educational Escape Room to be implemented in higher education and analysing the data extracted from an ad hoc questionnaire. Such questionnaire was fulfilled by the participants of the pilot experience after completing the game. Besides, ICTs are proposed as a way to deal with COVID-19 protocols and, additionally, lower monetary and time costs of implementation. The results show relevant correlations between different factors of the game, and general satisfaction is high. Therefore, notwithstanding the investment in time and effort, implementing an educational Escape Room seems useful for students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the causal relationships among the key educational factors that affect adolescent happiness and to propose policy implications for OECD countries to increase their levels of adolescent happiness. The HSBC score of adolescent happiness in OECD countries was chosen as an indicator, and a number of independent variables such as per capita GDP and per capita educational expenditure amount were included in the subject of analysis. For the analysis, the QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) method was used. The use of QCA has been rarely reported in adolescents’ happiness studies, and are likely to be conceptual and paradigmatic challenges to its adoption in some settings. According to the findings, there are three key factors that contribute to adolescents' high levels of happiness in OECD nations: TEPC*GDP*PUPTEA, tee*GDP*PRIVATEXP, and tee*tepc*gdp*privatexp. In other words, while a number of further steps are required to produce a more parsimonious formulation, the solution in this study suggests six configurations and three prime implicants. The first prime implicant is TEPC(high total per capita expenditure on education)*GDP(high per capita gdp)*PUPTEA(high ratio of students to teaching staff). The second implicant is tee(low total expenditure on education)*GDP(high per capita gdp)*PRIVATEXP(high ratio of private source expenditure on education to gdp). Finally, the third implicant is tee(low total expenditure on education)*tepc(low total per capita expenditure on education)*gdp(low per capita gdp)*privatexp(low ratio of private source expenditure on education to gdp). It is crucial to emphasise that the data reported in this research are simply illustrative and should be examined in a broader context.Alternative causal configurations are acceptable for the complexity of adolescents' happiness, rather than being a limitation of QCA.

The main purpose of this survey is to investigate the effectiveness of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) in the teaching of Modern Greek in Lyceum. The survey was carried out in the form of a field experiment, with one experimental group and one control group. An didactic intervention in the form of a training scenario was carried out. Fifty (50) students of the Second Class of Lyceum of the Prefecture of Attica were the sample of the survey. The survey was conducted from 10 October 2016 to 20 December 2016 and lasted thirteen hours. The results of the research revealed that, after the experiment, there was a positive change in the attitudes of the experimental group's students regarding the use and utility of the computer.

Currently, very few Thai Immunology e-Books are available for online study. A newly created one were assessed the effectiveness of its implementation in terms of knowledge gained, written exam scores and student satisfaction by using a quasi experimental research design. The e-Book Reading group and no e-Book group performed higher mean scores in the posttest than in the pretest at p<0.01. All participants passed the Immunology examination and their mean score between groups were not significantly different. It is expected that the e-Book improvement with considant Internet access will fulfill the effective studying in the future.
