The present study investigated how the primary emotion of stress is correlated with engagement, focus, interest, excitement, and relaxation during university students’ examination processes. Given that examinations are highly stressful processes, twenty-six postgraduate students participated in a four-phase experiment (rest, written examination, oral examination, and rest) conducted at the International Hellenic University (IHU) using a modified Trier protocol. Network analysis with a focus on centralities was employed for data processing. The results highlight the important role of stress in the examination process; correlate stress with other emotions, such as interest, engagement, enthusiasm, relaxation, and concentration; and, finally, suggest ways to control and creatively utilize stress.

Using Bloom’s Taxonomy, the most influential and standard theory of learning in the education cognitive field and toward this objective, the authors extracted the personality types of students and employed a mixed-methods research methodology JASP software (v.0.17.1) involving both qualitative and quantitative tools. The qualitative component involved direct observation of synchronous classroom teaching to students, while the quantitative aspect utilized structured questionnaires administered to 634 students of the International Hellenic University enrolled to attend the “Human Resource Management” course. The acquired qualitative data were processed using (a) network analysis JASP software (v.0.17.1) software in order to address the student personas through nodes, connections, and centralities and (b) structural equation software in order to identify the correlations between types of students and the variables of the metaverse and flipped classroom methods. The findings reveal that the four types of students identified have a direct and strong correlation with the use of flipped classroom and metaverse teaching methods.

A total of 296 HPs were administered the scales.Results:The internal consistency of the Gr-MoVac-flu and the Gr-MoV-ad scale was high, and Cronbach’s alpha was .92 for each scale. The Gr-MoVac-flu and the Gr-MoV-ad scales are not unidimensional and demonstrated two-factor structures respectively.Conclusions:The MoVac-flu and the MoV-ad scale are highly convergent validity tools that could provide rich understanding of HPs’ decision to uptake and to advocate for vaccination.

To acknowledge the set and weights of criteria upon which our model feeds data, a validated questionnaire was developed and used to conduct a primary quantitative survey amongst HR departments and employees of state organizations in Greece. On the acquired findings, several experiments were administered using linear and machine learning tools, aiming to replace time consuming and subjective procedures, followed by many organizations. Concluding, data classification algorithms are proposed to predict the best matching of employees, giving as inputs personnel qualifications as well as job specifications, leading to a model based on J48, a decision tree algorithm.

Within this framework, the aim of the research conducted, was to investigate the most efficient machine learning techniques to support employees' recruitment and positioning evaluation. Towards this aim, a series of tests were conducted based on classification algorithms concerning employees of the public sector, seeking to predict best fit in workplaces and allocation of employees. Based on the outcome of the administered tests, an algorithm model was built to assist the decision support system of employees' recruitment and assessment. The primary findings of the present research could lead to the argument that the adoption of the Employees' Evaluation for Recruitment and Promotion Algorithm Model (EERPAM) will significantly improve the objectivity of employees' recruitment and positioning procedures.

This paper outlines the development and validation of the Knowledge Spillover through Tourism Blockchain Questionnaire, the TBlockQ. The purpose of this questionnaire is to acknowledge the key factors aligned with the level of knowledge spillover generated within a blockchain network. The TBlockQ was a synthesis of 29 5-point Likert scaled questions. A total of 422 correspondents participated in this study. The results of this study outline the reliability and validation of this questionnaire. The reliability statistics of all the items are high. Three factors, revealed from the factor analysis, identifying the knowledge spillover from a blockchain network in the tourism industry were: (a) networking expansion, impro...
