In this research I would like to compare Berlin's Hauptbahnhof to other megastructures in order to understand their relationship to modern urbanism. Megastructuralism can be explained in three different steps showing its self-evolution from the utopian housing concepts of the 1930´s to the megastations of the 21st century. First step: megastructure as a residential project. The beginning of the Megastructure era was related to the residential housing project located along a highway from the modernist movement’s “Fort l'Empereur project” (Le Corbusier, 1931) or Archigram's proposal link to the new urban forms in a technological period known as "Lower Manhattan Expressway” (Paul Rudolph, 1970). Second step: megastructure as institutional project. The use of large structures found its place in cultural spaces such as “Centre Pompidou” (Piano, Rogers and Franchini, 1970) and in workplaces of the post-industrial city described by Koolhaas in “Delirious New York". Third step: megastructure as mobility, ecology and technology project. The modern society of the 21st century has a never before seen demand for mobility. Today’s cities become more and more machines of transportation. The combination of computer technology and the challenges of the 21th century, produce a new kind of megastructuralism. Berlin’s public transportation system is one of the Europa’s biggest train stations: “Hauptbahnhof”. In this research it will show that Hauptbahnhof station must be seen as a new kind of megastructure. In the future, cities will become more and more crowded; hence space will have to be used more efficiently. Hauptbahnhof shows how space can be used most efficiently if buildings grow into megastructures that accommodate every possible function. The station is therefore a vast source for models of densification that could lead to a sustainable urbanism in the future.

Family planning does more than enable women to limit family size. It enables women to have the number of children they want and subsequently reduces the incidence of maternal and infant mortality. Family planning method was investigated among market traders in Ibadan metropolis, Nigeria. The study revealed that male condom was the most preferred among the family planning methods used by market traders and their spouses in Ibadan metropolis. Vasectomy/Tubal Ligation received the least preference among the family planning methods. However the level of information among the men was low about the different family planning methods and their risk. Also the low contraceptive prevalence rate in Nigeria is associated with high rates of unsafe and induced abortion the results of the analysis of data collected on the prevalence of family planning services utilization revealed that most market traders in Ibadan metropolis used family planning services. Furthermore, the finding showed that among the males of market traders in Ibadan metropolis, 51.7% used family planning services, while among the female market traders, 64.7% used family planning services. These findings showed that female market traders in Ibadan metropolis use family planning service more their male counterparts. The result of the study also showed the factor(s) that determines the choice of most family planning utilization are: accessibility, availability, cost, perceived effectiveness, no side effects, past practices and from health workers. The result revealed that attitude towards family planning services utilization was significant determinant of family planning services utilization.

Magnetised plasma influences electromagnetic wave propagation, this resulting in polarisations at different velocities, an effect that can result in ghost signals. This work provided critical information on the effects of magnetized plasma on electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation perpendicular to the magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma were studied. Furthermore, there are two modes of EM wave propagation perpendicular to the field: ordinary (O) and extraordinary (X). The values of the ordinary (O) mode's frequency were obtained by substituting the values of its wave number (k) into its dispersion relation, while the same frequency values were substituted to obtain the values of its refractive index (η_O^2). The plasma frequency values derived from the Bohm-Gross formulae for electron plasma. The plasma frequency values obtained from the Bohm-Gross formulae for electron plasma waves were substituted into the extraordinary mode dispersion relation to obtain frequency values with cut-off frequencies at ω_L and ω_R. The refractive index values were calculated using the same frequency values (X-mode). The results revealed that for EM wave propagation perpendicular to magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma in vacuum, the speed as well as the direction was unperturbed. The results also revealed that the properties of electromagnetic waves propagating perpendicular to magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma in an ordinary (O) mode were different from those for extraordinary (X) mode, with the former having a higher phase speed than the latter. Additionally, we discovered that, the phase velocity (υP) exceeded the speed of light (c), which is consistent with the basic ideas of special relativity.

Total quality management (TQM) has been trusted by many quality-oriented companies in the world in order to improve performance in terms of customer value.n However, studies on the implementation of TQM and knowledge management in relation to customer value are still very few. The main aim of this research is to understand how customer's perceived value is influenced by TQM and knowledge management. A literature review was conducted to identify key TQM and knowledge management practices and the concept of customer value. This study adopted a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach to test the research model. Data was collected using the survey method by distributing questionnaires online and sent using their respective e-mail addresses and using the business WA group. Based on a survey of service sector business actors, the PLS estimation approach is used to achieve research objectives and test hypotheses. The empirical results show that TQM has a positive signaling effect on knowledge management and customer value perceptions. In addition, it was found that knowledge management has a significant effect on customer value perceptions. This study was limited to the food service sector in Bali, Indonesia and a cross-sectional design was used to examine the hypothesized relationships at one point in time. The research model developed can add insight to knowledge by practitioners and policy makers and the basis for making critical policies in the future. The paper addresses the gap in the literature by analyzing the relationship between TQM and knowledge management in the process of strengthening customer value perceptions.

The business risk is a topic that is very rarely spoken, but that is essential for those who have to make decisions concerning the life of a company: incorrect choices can shortly lead to business failure. Basically important is the activity of the Risk Manager. It is oriented to identify, evaluate, manage and control corporate risks. The efficacy of risk management also depends on the information available for the decision: more information available, the best risk response. To effectively manage risks, a systematic and organized approach is required and specific methodologies and techniques are needed. In this paper we will propose the method of utility function: an effective and efficient method to deal with business risks by limiting its negative effects.

The hospitality and tourism industry is one of the key economic sectors expected to take a leadership role in transforming the emerging green economy. Climate change impacts on ecological sustainability alongside considerable growth in the industry have raised critical concerns through increased emission of greenhouse gases, water, and energy consumption, and vast volumes of food waste. A rapid move from carbon and material-intensive ways of delivering visitor experiences with an emphasis on stakeholder involvement and ecosystem wellbeing makes tourism a leader in transforming the emerging green economy. This paper aims to determine the role of stakeholder engagement in the adoption of green practices by star-rated hotels along the Kenyan Coast. A cross-sectional survey design was applied in this study. Sample hotels for the study were identified using stratified random selection. Stratification of management tiers for selecting general managers and heads of sections was applied. Data from heads of sections were obtained using a semi-structured questionnaire while semi-structured interview schedule was used for general managers. Analysis of data included descriptive statistics in determining the frequencies, means, standard deviations, and percentages for each survey item. One sample t-test was used to test the statistical significance of Likert scale responses. Hypothesis testing was conducted using a multiple linear regression model. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that stakeholders’ engagement contributes significantly to the adoption of green practices (p=≤0.000≤0.05). Stakeholder’ engagement was also revealed as a key predictor of adoption of green practices in star rated hotels (β= .760, P - value<0.05). The study concluded that stakeholders’ engagement provide new ideas, define performance indicators for monitoring, auditing, comparison, and reporting green practices adopted by the star-rated hotels. The study recommended that hotel managers, hotel associations, and government agencies need to enhance green practices by strengthening the capacity of existing institutions to partner and collaborate with key stakeholders, mobilize green climate funds, develop and review curricula, training resources, and short courses in hospitality, tourism, and environmental studies.

During COVID-19, the social distance became an obligatory fact which forced the whole world to rely on e-learning for all levels of education. E-learning is becoming the main challenge for many developing countries specific. Technologies are not fully accepted and used in Egyptian primary and preparatory schools before. However, the successful usage of e-learning depends on understanding the acceptance factors as well as the main challenges that face it. In this regard, this study aims to examine the factors of e-learning acceptance. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model is used as a conceptual framework. An empirical study was carried out using online survey research among 507 participants. The study results show that most of the participants are satisfied with e-learning as a good solution to continue education during global health conditions. However, the responses to the government T.V. channels and websites were very weak. The main obstacles were the technical issues such as the internet speed and traffic, weak technology skills for learners and teachers, in addition to the social preference for the traditional method. The study concluded that the acceptance depends on its ease of use, its usefulness, its social influence, its price value, the facilitating conditions, and its motivations. The school type and the parents' education level were proved to be effective moderators on many constructs

This research aimed at compiling project selection criteria and modelling a robust criterion for infrastructure project selection and approval to enhance sustainability. The decision to select and approve sustainable infrastructure project for development must base on a robust criterion. To handle this properly, first, decision-makers must adopt a robust criterion that aid infrastructure sustainability. The study employed a systematic literature review, methodology and thematic analysis procedure to identify infrastructure project selection and approval criteria from literature. A total of 34 project selection criteria were identified and grouped into five categories. Besides, four approval requirements and four sustainable indicators have been discussed. To avoid any ambiguous and unclear questions in the criterion, 40 professionals were selected purposively for the pilot survey. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed, and findings were used to improve the criteria. The quantitative phase of the study was conducted on 320 stakeholders who were either project selectors, approvers, advisors, or designers responsible for government projects. S.E.M. were adopted for the analysis and testing of the hypothesis. Moreover, the study has proposed a structure model that integrates identified criteria and indicators to enhance infrastructure selection and approval. Continuous professional development training is vital for all stakeholders to understand and adopt the proposed project selection and approval criteria model to improve infrastructure sustainability performance and to enhance project selection and approval practices. And it was also included in the design brief as a deliverable factor. This outcome serves as preliminary and exploratory research to aid further study on the project selection and approval criteria model for infrastructure sustainability.]
