Developing a website with user experience
No full textThe Internet has played an essential role in human life with its convenience, and it has been attached to people’s lives for several decades. Many people daily use the Internet on their own electronic devices for various purposes. In fact, through human habits and behavior that use electronic devices to access the Internet daily, user experience design has been created to enhance the Interaction of humans with the application and websites in their own devices.
The thesis idea was based on Bumi Asian Kitchen & Café, an Asian restaurant in Helsinki. Bumi is also no exception with the traditional business, which has served its regular food menu on the street corner since 2016. By combining technology and human behaviors, the thesis aims to research customer behavior and expectations and develop a website design for a restaurant to bring a convenient user experience and exemplary user interface to its customers. That website design helps the business attract customers, raise the reputation, and enhance customer connection in the smooth method.
In the thesis, the essential design knowledge will clarify the basis of user experience and user interface. The author then keeps researching the website’s basic knowledge to describe the importance of website design and website usability. The author uses the qualitative method and ex-plains the UX design methodology with persona, customer journey, heuristic evaluation, user inter-view, and usability testing before choosing a suitable methodology for the practical process of web-site development for Bumi Asian Kitchen & Cafe. After evaluation based on data collection, author can point out the advantages of website development that bring to a restaurant business
The emerging legal framework for private sector development in Viet Nam's transitional economy
No full textA major objective of Viet Nam's transition to a market economy has been to reactivate the private sector in a mixed economy. Several new laws have been introduced in the past five years to implement this policy and to create an enabling environment for the private sector. The author reviews some of the more important laws and regulations that affect Viet Nam's private sector activities, including laws on real property, intellectual property, companies, domestic investment, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contracts, and dispute resolution. Anti-monopoly law has not yet been introduced in Viet Nam. The issue of competition is addressed in the context of trade law, the relative roles of the state and private sector, and restrictions in company law. These areas all establish the foundation of a legal framework for a market economy. The author concludes that Viet Nam's legal framework, like China's, is still influenced by ideology, which causes problems in such areas as private ownership of real property and with such fundamental legal concepts as"due process of law."It is noted that the private sector is constrained by the lack of an independent judiciary, the absence of private land ownership, other uncertainties in property law that limit the develpoment of financial markets, and the inherent bias of the system in favor of the state sector (and collective ownership). Also noted is a law-abiding attitude, equally important to development has been slow to develop. The author goes on to point out that the foreign investment process is too complicated, and its company law too restrictive. A first priority should be to strreamline regulations, as well as liberalize trade policy and increase efforts in privatization of state enterprises. In this respect the author notes that export processing zones may be a useful interim instrument to attract foreign investment but should be phased out over time. More important in the long term is a good investment climate resting on a strong legal foundation.Legal Products,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Municipal Financial Management

No full textValidation of the corrected Dang Van multiaxial fatigue criterion applied to turret bearings of FPSO offloading buoys
No full textIn engineering practice, multiaxial fatigue analyses are often avoided due to their complexity and computational intensity. However, damages have been encountered in turret bearings of Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) offloading buoys which were likely caused by multiaxial fatigue. The Dang Van criterion has often been used to assess problems with multiaxial fatigue in rolling contacts. Therefore, this study set out to validate the application of the Dang Van criterion to turret bearings of FPSO offloading buoys. For this purpose, the criterion was corrected with a horizontal conservative locus for compressive hydrostatic stresses. Three load cases were identified based on the seakeeping analysis of an FPSO offloading buoy equipped with a wheel-rail turret bearing. For each load case, the surface pressure distribution and sub-surface stress states were determined analytically. Staircase tests were used to determine the characteristic parameters (α and β) of the Dang Van curve. Then, the Dang Van criterion was corrected and used to perform a multiaxial fatigue analysis in the critically stressed area of the wheel-rail contact. Finally, full-scale, long-duration fatigue tests were used to validate the results. The corrected Dang Van criterion shows agreement with the experimental results and is not rejected as multiaxial fatigue criterion for application to turret bearings in FPSO offloading buoys

Has social media made students more of less connected?
No full textSmart phones are owned by nearly half of the world population, with which the access to social media on daily basis follows. With the rapid growth of technology, the popularity of social media skyrocketed as well, with almost everyone owning a smart phones using it. Due to the rise of this communication platform, the concern of how social media affects the connectedness between people arises. For this matter, the author sought to understand how social media affects its users’ connection. A sample size of 70 participants completed a quantitative survey regarding social media use, users’ well-being of emotion and connection including a mixing of multiple-choice and Likert-scale questions. The survey was distributed to the students of Oulu University of Applied Sciences via email and gathered the responses for two week. The result revealed the participants had aware of how to use social media beneficially for their connection and although the increase in time of using social media comes with the decrease in quality of time spending with friends and families, social media is still believed to support users’ connection

Rules of origin in services : a case study of five ASEAN countries
No full textAn important question in the design of bilateral and regional free trade agreements (FTAs) covering services is to what extent nonmembers benefit from the trade preferences that are negotiated among members. This question is resolved through services rules of origin. The restrictiveness of rules of origin determines the degree of preferences entailed in market opening commitments, shaping the bargaining incentives of FTAs and their eventual economic effects. Even though the number of FTAs in services has increased rapidly in recent years, hardly any research is available that can guide policymakers on the economic implications of different rules of origin. After outlining the key economic tradeoffs and options for rules of origin in services, the paper summarizes the main findings of a research project that has assessed the rules of origin question for five countries in the ASEAN region. For selected service subsectors and a number of criteria for rules or origin, simulation exercises evaluated which service providers would or would not be eligible for preferences negotiated under a FTA. Among other findings, the simulation results point to the binding nature of a domestic ownership or control requirement and, for the specific case of financial services, a requirement of incorporation.Free Trade,Trade Law,Trade and Services,Economic Theory&Research,Trade Policy
