Hustlenomics: Defining The Hustle Economy, Sade M. Onadeko

The Scholarship Without Borders Journal

Hustlenomics is the study of the hustle economy. It is the study of how hustlers produce, distribute, and consume goods and services in order to earn a living. This paper is an attempt to understand and define the hustle economy through the review of literature. Due to limited research on the hustle economy, analogous economies such as the gig/sharing economy and the informal economy (which includes the hidden and shadow economies) were examined in order to obtain the goal of this paper.

Too Much Of A Good Thing? Exploring Affective Commitment’S Negative Impact, Cecil W. Johnson Iii

The Scholarship Without Borders Journal

Strategies to increase organizational commitment in employees to increase retention, productivity and performance are common approaches used by leaders facilitated by human resource departments. In the past two years, there has been a surge of resignations by employees re-evaluating their relationship with employers. The employee exits have focused employers on increasing employee commitment to their organization by deploying human resource management (HRM) strategies. Organizations must reflect on the negative impact high commitment can have on employees and the companies in which they work.

This paper is an exploration of the negative impact of affective organizational commitment on employees and employers. …

Analysis Of Shoreline Changes On The Coast Of Tanjung Widoro, Bungah Sub-District, Gresik District, Rudianto Rudianto, D. Setyoningrum, A T. Yanuar, A S. Hudin

Jurnal Pendidikan Geografi: Kajian, Teori, dan Praktek dalam Bidang Pendidikan dan Ilmu Geografi

The shoreline is the boundary between the land and the ocean at the highest tide. Various factors can affect the changes to the line, such as coastal abrasion and sedimentation, which result in a reduction in land area and, consequently, a change in the shoreline. The impact of abrasion causes land abrasion, which can damage residential and cultivation areas. Conversely, land can increase towards the sea due to the process of accretion. The impact of coastal abrasion on the shoreline results in an increase in sea tides, which in turn obstructs river water flowing into the estuary. This tidal flood …

Water Body Satellite Images Segmentation Using Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution, Lama Affara, Ali El-Zaart, Rabih Damaj

BAU Journal - Science and Technology

Images can exhibit diverse attributes and characteristics, because of variations in both the quantity of each intensity level and their respective positions, histograms display varying distributions. Some images feature symmetric histograms, while others exhibit asymmetry. In image segmentation tasks, traditional mean-based thresholding methods work well with symmetric histograms, relying on Gaussian distribution definitions. However, situations arise where asymmetric distributions must be considered. Threshold-based segmentation entails the partitioning of intensity levels into separate regions determined by the threshold value. Within this category of thresholding methods, Minimum Cross Entropy Thresholding (MCET) stands out as a mean-based thresholding technique with a unique self-contained …

Mother Tongue's Impact On English Language Teaching And Learning, Dr Motasem Mohmoud Abu Salim

Al-miʿyār

Abstract:

Language serves as a medium for conveying ideas, facts, emotions, and desires through arbitrary symbols. It fosters connections between sentiments, ideas, and attitudes, enabling communication among people. While various languages are spoken worldwide, English is widely chosen for communication alongside native tongues. In the era of globalization, the significance of English language instruction cannot be overstated, given its status as a universal language. However, debates persist regarding the role of the mother tongue in English language teaching and learning. Discrepancies in spelling, symbols, and sound systems between native languages and English often pose pronunciation challenges. To address this, integrating …
