Purpose: This study aims to examine and demonstrate the impact of perceived security, perceived privacy, system quality, and utilitarian motives on users’ actual use of Google Drive in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: This study focuses on attitudes toward use and trust as mediating variables in this relationship. The sample consisted of 115 Google Drive users who had completed the questionnaire. A quantitative methodology was adopted, utilizing path analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics 23 and structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS- 5. An accidental random sampling technique was employed, and the questionnaire was distributed to 120 Google Drive users in Indonesia. Findings: The structural model results indicate that perceived security and privacy influence attitudes and actual use. The relationship between attitudes toward use significantly affects the actual use of Google Drive among users in Indonesia. Likewise, perceived security and privacy significantly influence usage attitudes and relationships with actual use. Practical implications: The current research is valuable for Google Drive users to illustrate the development of a relatively secure cloud-based Google Drive. Originality/value: To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first academic paper to broaden Google Drive user adoption by examining the determinants of usage among Google Drive users.

This research aids in exploring the adaptive strategies employed by dual-income earner couples to balance their work and family commitments. Via the comprehensive review of the literature, key themes and patterns in the strategies utilized by couples to achieve work-family balance are identified. These themes include time management strategies, communication and collaboration, flexible work arrangements, and self-care practices. The findings provide insights into the approaches couples employ to navigate the challenges and demands of dual careers and family responsibilities. The implications of the findings are discussed for individuals, organizations, and policymakers. Time management strategies emphasize the effective allocation and prioritization of time for work and family domains. Communication and collaboration underscore the importance of open and honest dialogue between partners. Flexible work arrangements are recognized as a vital adaptive strategy, necessitating options that accommodate the diverse needs of dual-income earner couples. Self-care practices are highlighted as essential for reducing stress and maintaining work-family balance. Organizations and policymakers can promote these strategies to support work-life integration.

This study is meant to describe the psychosocial and physical risks of the orphans in Capiz, Philippines, taking into account their situations/ experiences before coming to the orphanage, their coping mechanisms, and their aspirations. This is descriptive qualitative research anchoring from Stake’s model in conducting a case study. This study covered four (4) female orphans as case participants from the orphanage, whose ages range from 8 to 18, with different narratives and life stories. In this study, it emerged that their stepmother, stepfather, and stepbrother emotionally, physically, and sexually abused them as the majority of the themes they experienced. The cited abuse is considered one of the primary reasons that brought the children to the orphanage. The children’s coping mechanisms in the orphanage are positively affected by the people who saved and brought them into it. The activities in the orphanage, such as attending mass and praying, helped them strengthen their faith in God, eventually lightening their burden; other than leaving their negative experiences, the orphans’ aspirations in the orphanage are to finish their education and help others, especially their siblings.

This study primarily investigated the level of COVID-19 vaccine confidence, hesitancy and refusal among household heads of the municipality of Pontevedra during COVID-19 pandemic. A random sample of 372 household heads in a total of 12,071 households (PHO, 2021) in the municipality served as respondents of the study. A validated and pilot-tested researcher-made questionnaire was used as research instrument distributed using both online platform (Google Forms) and in printed questionnaire. Findings indicate that household heads in the municipality of Pontevedra are mostly females, in their mid-forties, married, Roman Catholic, College graduate, headed a household of five with a family member of less than 5 years old and a senior citizen, unemployed, with family monthly income below the poverty line, no medical insurance and stayed in the place for a quarter of a century. Majority of the HH heads have not been tested for COVID-19, has not been diagnosed by health care professionals based on symptoms only, had no in-person contact with anyone infected with COVID-19; and majority of them have no comorbidities or pre-existing health conditions. Moreover, HH heads are aware that they are quite unlikely to get COVID-19 and very closely complied about guidelines for COVID-19. Most of the HH heads in Pontevedra are COVID-19 Vaccine Confident, have a high level of social cohesion and trust during COVID-19, somewhat satisfied with the COVID-19 Control, and somewhat agree to receive COVID-19 Vaccination. There are significant differences on the mean vaccine confidence scores when HH heads are classified according to their age, highest educational attainment, employment status, and family monthly income. COVID-19 Vaccination response of HH Heads was significanly related with their profile variables (highest educational attainment, employment status, and estimated monthly income), their COVID-19-related profile, their extent of COVID-19 impact, their level of social cohesion and trust, and their level of satisfaction with the COVID-19 control.

3d printing has its advantages and wonders, but this technology also has its dark side. Sometimes, the object will simply be a copy of an existing commercial product. Likewise, there are few reports on the ethical considerations regarding 3d printing, especially in the Philippines, where piracy or illegal copying is rampant. Thus, the ethical perspective of this venture was taken into consideration. Integrative review combining meta-analysis and synthesis as a research design for this study was facilitated through a literature and study review using PRISMA. Studies on the ethical perspectives of 3D printing were searched through the electronic databases ProQuest, Elsevier, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline Plus, and Ebsco. The search for studies harvested 186 articles of which were searched through the mentioned databases. Out of these articles, 62 studies met the inclusion criteria. The data provided by these studies were compiled, and organized by themes, noting similarities and differences. After a more and thorough review, 8 studies exactly and completely fit all the protocols and findings needed to be included in this study. Findings revealed issues on the protocol development in the ethical conduct of 3D printing in particular to prototyping and rapid manufacturing; research on the ethical conduct of 3D printing are also lacking and post-evaluation on the conduct of 3D printing as applied to its purpose were not considered in the existing laws and regulations. All the 8 studies on the ethical perspective on 3D printing are unique in their methods, sampling, data treatment, results and more importantly, findings but their focus is shared. More so, the study suggests further looking at the impact of certain amendments on the laws and policies in 3D printing to its ethics components and relating this to policy formulation that protects all stakeholders’ interests in this emerging technological industry. Users and manufacturers of 3D printers and 3D printed objects will encounter issues involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other IP rights is a reality in the future.
3d 打印有其优势和神奇之处，但这项技术也有其阴暗面。有时，物品只是现有商业产品的复制品。同样，关于 3d 打印技术的伦理考虑的报道也很少，尤其是在菲律宾，盗版或非法复制十分猖獗。因此，我们从伦理角度考虑了这一风险投资。通过使用 PRISMA 进行文献和研究综述，结合荟萃分析和综合综述作为本研究的研究设计。我们通过 ProQuest、Elsevier、CINAHL、PubMed、Medline Plus 和 Ebsco 等电子数据库搜索了有关 3D 打印伦理视角的研究。通过上述数据库共搜索到 186 篇研究文章。在这些文章中，有 62 项研究符合纳入标准。我们对这些研究提供的数据进行了汇编，并按主题进行了整理，指出了相同点和不同点。经过深入彻底的审查，有 8 项研究完全符合本研究需要的所有规程和结果。研究结果表明，3D 打印的伦理行为，尤其是原型设计和快速制造的伦理行为，在规程制定方面存在问题；3D 打印的伦理行为研究也很缺乏，现有的法律法规中也没有考虑到对 3D 打印行为的后评估。所有 8 项关于 3D 打印伦理视角的研究在方法、取样、数据处理、结果以及更重要的结论方面都各具特色，但其重点是相同的。此外，研究还建议进一步研究 3D 打印法律和政策的某些修正案对其伦理内容的影响，并将其与政策制定联系起来，以保护这一新兴技术产业中所有利益相关者的利益。未来，3D 打印机和 3D 打印物品的用户和制造商将遇到涉及专利、商标、版权和其他知识产权的问题。

Lean Six Sigma has been used successfully in industry, healthcare, and banking, among other fields, to deal with these problems. By using Lean Six Sigma, costs have been cut by a lot, quality has improved, and effecti eness has gone up. But there isn’t much study on how Lean Six Sigma could be used in the transportation industry. Because the transportation industry is so intricate and ever- changing, it must have procedures that are both efficien and effecti e in order to guarantee that both people and goods will be transported in a secure manner and on time. Over the past few years, companies in the transportation industry have been looking for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of their processes, which has led to an uptick in interest in the application of Lean Six Sigma.

This research examines participants’ familiarity with circular economy concepts, the integration of these concepts in their organizations, encountered barriers, levels of awareness and understanding, implemented circular practices, perceived benefits, the importance of sustainability, financial or operational challenges, motivators for embracing a circular economy, and the accessibility of support and resources. The findings indicate that participants have an average degree of awareness regarding circular economy concepts. While some organizations have completely or partially implemented circular economy principles, a significant portion has not yet integrated them, suggesting a need for more initiatives. Financial limitations, supply chain restrictions, and a lack of knowledge are the primary barriers to adoption. Employee knowledge and comprehension of circular economy concepts have room for improvement. Commonly implemented circular practices include renewable energy use, material recycling, and product lifespan extension. Perceived benefits include cost savings, resource conservation, and increased stakeholder participation. Sustainability may not be considered important in overall strategy and decision-making by a majority of participants. Financial or operational difficulties are experienced by some organizations during the adoption of circular economy principles. Motivators for embracing a circular economy include cost savings, brand reputation, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder expectations. Participants highlighted a need for more support and resources to implement circular economy projects. Overall, the survey highlights the varying levels of familiarity, integration, challenges, awareness, and understanding of circular economy concepts among participants, and underscores the importance of addressing barriers, raising awareness, and providing sufficient support and resources for advancing circular economy principles.
