Evaluating UI Design Frameworks and transform the learnings into own UI Design System
No full textThe complexity of design is rising. Modern design procedures demand significant cross-functional collaboration across all teams engaged in the product's development. When speed to market is so important in product development, design teams attempt to streamline the process so that products may be developed quickly without compromising user experience (Ruiz et al., 2019). It might be difficult to provide a consistent user interface across all aspects of our design. To achieve this, product teams must improve the way they develop digital products. The Design System is a set of product design guidelines, concepts, goals, and best practices. A library of user interface components, commonly designed using Atomic Design Philosophy, is a key component of the Design System. These UI components are also represented in code. For the product development team, design systems are commonly referred to as the "single source of truth." It lets the team to design, produce, and maintain a high-quality product. Any project that wishes to be easily maintained should have a Design System (“A comprehensive guide to design systems | Inside Design Blog,” n.d.). It may look challenging at first, but patience will pay off in the end. The main aim of the study is to develop a design system that will be known as "MonacoUI". It helps in increasing the efficiency of product development
The influence of emotional intelligence on general well-being: which qualities best predict psychological well-being?
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate if emotional intelligence is a strong predictor variable of psychological well-being. Previous research has neglected the assessment of emotional intelligence in relation to psychological well-being, which is why the research rationale of this study aims to investigate emotional intelligence as a predictor variable alongside other previously researched predictors of psychological well-being. Using a quantitative experimental design, 169 individuals were recruited from a public sample to take part in an online survey that examined multiple psychological factors that were included in this study’s analysis. Results revealed a weak significant negative relationship between emotional intelligence and the outcome measures associated with psychological well-being, implying that other variables were found to be stronger predictors. This demonstrates that the study’s hypotheses are only partially accepted. In conclusion, the data identified that emotional intelligence has a substantial relationship with psychological well-being, however other factors examined were shown to have a stronger correlation with well-being outcome measures
Unravelling the interrelations between loneliness, grief and resentment in introverted males and females
No full textPrevious research measured each of the component independently or in terms of grief and loneliness literature which often examined the two together, exploring causation between the variables. However, there was a neglect of multi-variable analysis which forms a robust, finer-grain assessment of crucial elements of mental health, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic. The current study sought to explore the interrelations between loneliness, grief and resentment in introverted males and females. As part of the quantitative research, 94 adult participants completed an online survey that measured levels of loneliness, grief, resentment and introversion. The results indicate that introverted females do not experience an increased degree of loneliness, grief and gratitude-resentment compared to introverted males. Moreover, gratitude-resentment and introversion predicted loneliness but grief and gender differences does not predict loneliness
External Stakeholder Analysis in Construction Project Management
Get PDFThe focus of this research study is based on external stakeholder analysis in construction
project management. The stakeholder's theory is associated with three main approaches:
descriptive approach, normative approach, and instrumental approach. The implementation or
adoption of stakeholder theory ineffective construction project management improves meeting
the client's ultimate requirements. The construction project designers are likely to have a
significant impact on the project's success. Concerning external stakeholders' conceptual
framework, it has been observed that the involvement of external stakeholders in construction
project management is regarded as critical for enhancing the success of undertaking
construction projects. Moreover, the external stakeholder is also necessary for developing the
project management
Emotion Recognition from visual Big-Data using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
No full textHuman species has been using their facial expressions and facial muscles in order to effectively communicate for millions of years now. Expression and emotions have been captured and stored into many forms since then like paintings, pictures, videos etc. Research is also being conducted in various forms in order to successfully identify the emotion of a person with help of technologies and methods such as knowledge based techniques, statistical methods and hybrid approaches. Recently artificial intelligence has proven its effectiveness in classifying or predicting the human emotion based on accumulated data in form of audio, video, text etc... This research proposes to design a system to classify the real-time emotions from numerous facial expressions and its features while using techniques such as Convolution Neural Network(CNN) algorithm. Along with CNN, this research also proposes to utilize various other tools and technologies such as OpenCV library, Tensorflow, Keras, Python, Visual Studio Code, etc
The Impact Of Exposure To Ideal-sized vs. Average-sized Influencers On Purchase Intention and Consumer Well-being In Fitness Industry
No full textThe present study aimed to investigate how self-esteem, body-esteem and purchase intention
was influenced by the body size of the influencer that has been presented in a promotion
visual in the context of the fitness industry by using two different exposure conditions. 204
participants were recruited using the convenience sampling method, then randomly assigned
to two groups and after the exposure either to ideal-sized (ISE) or average-sized influencers
(ASE) who were promoting sportswear products, they were given the Body Esteem Scale for
Adolescents and Adults (BESAA), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and survey questions
indicating the purchase intention. The sampling criteria was being 18-49 years of age. Results
indicated that while self-esteem was higher for the ISE group, body esteem did not change
across the two groups. Additionally, purchase intention was higher for the ASE group. Findings
stress the importance of body positive and inclusive marketing in the fitness industry
Lived experiences of transgender people in Ireland - attitudes, school, work and healthcare
No full textPrevious research on the experiences of transgender people in Ireland is quite limited. The current study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of these experiences in the areas of work, school and healthcare. There was also an interest in the attitudes towards transgender people in Ireland, and any unique barriers or challenges they face in these areas. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to create themes from the qualitative data generated by the semi-structured interviews of five transgender participants. The four overarching themes generated were (a) Lack of Knowledge and Understanding, (b) Inadequate and Inaccessible Supports, (c) Stigma, and (d) Coping Mechanisms and Support. Results supported previous research identifying some of the difficulties faced by transgender individuals such as social rejection, isolation and prejudicial attitudes, and supportive mechanisms such as gender expression and affirmation. Results also had major implications for improving transgender healthcare and education on gender diversity
The Impact of Covid-19 on the Investment Preferences of Retail Investors, With Reference to the Irish Stock Market.
No full textThe role of covid-19 pandemic in altering retail investment preferences is one that has been speculated since its first recorded occurrence in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic led to a variety of consequences which influenced investor preferences and the subsequent changes to investment behaviour. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of the Covid 19 pandemic on retail investors investment choices using the Irish stock market as a yardstick. Five objectives were cited as vital to the completion of this study: (1) to evaluate the impact of Covid-19 on the investment preference in stocks by the retail investors in the Irish stock market, (2) to understand whether retail investors are willing to invest money in stocks considering the pandemic effect (3) to identify the stock preferences of retail investors post Covid-19 and their causative factors, (4) to analyze the changes in returns given by investment in stocks based on the effect of Covid-19, (5) to provide investment options through the collation and analysis of investment choices by retail investors located in Dublin. Using a mixed research design, survey participants (N=100) provided data on their investor objectives, preferences, and rationale. Upon analysis, findings of the study revealed that; (1) There is a significant change in retail investor preference during the pandemic, (2) There is no significant relationship between high functioning industrial sectors and investor preferences during the pandemic and (3) There is a significant relationship between changes in investor portfolio and investor preferences. Conclusively, the impact of covid-19 on investment preferences is just a microcosm of the general impact across all spheres and aspect of the economy. However, the extent of such changes in preferences was simply measured primarily without appropriate secondary data to back it up. As such, it is important for other research studies to build on this research to provide additional information on the extent of changes in investor preferences as reflected in investment portfolios of the investors as well as the statistical data that supports it
