Brand perception is a key element in achieving business success how a brand is perceived by current and potential users determines what they think and their disposition towards the brand. The users' perception also determines whether they will perceive the sports service as offering a greater quality or value than other services, whether they will be more loyal, or whether they will recommend the service. This paper analyses the brand perception of users of a public sports service, creating a model of structural equations that analyses how credibility and trust influence a user's congruence with the brand and the generation of positive attitudes towards the brand and how these variables influence loyalty levels and recommendations. The results indicate that the proposed model can explain the variables of trust, congruence, attitudes, loyalty and word of mouth by more than 60%. The study finds that credibility influences trust but that credibility in itself does not cause a congruence with the brand, whereas trust does. Similarly, trust does not generate attitudes towards the brand but credibility and congruence do. Congruence generates loyalty but attitudes do not, and congruence, attitudes and loyalty influence recommendation to a similar extent, with congruence having the highest influence.Workers of different generations often complain about one another as their opinions, values, attitudes, and approaches to work differ. This might lead to a reduction in labor productivity that can negatively impact the economic growth of any nation. In this paper, we used generation mix indices to analyze whether generation gap has any impact on economic growth. Using Thailand's data between 1961 to 2019, we found that when generations were intensely mixed, economic growth did suffer.Based on a qualitative semi-structured interview, this paper argues that pedagogical positions can be negotiated and adjusted once a policy is introduced and a safe space for negotiation is created. It is a case study where we cite evidence from a Saudi university that shows the change in teachers' assumptions and, consequently, the negotiation process they had gone through within their institution due to a sudden policy shift. The paper highlights the importance of policies and the surrounding circumstances when it comes to negotiating pedagogical beliefs. This paper challenges the long-established assumption that age and much experience make it difficult for teachers to adapt their face-to-face educational activities to online platforms. We argue that institutional policies play a crucial role in shaping and reshaping teachers' assumptions and practices when the following conditions are met sound IT infrastructure, technological support, and continuous training.Crop productivity in most smallholder farming systems in Sub-Saharan Africa experience low use of soil amendment resources, low and erratic rainfall, frequent dry spells, and droughts. Rain-fed agriculture has a high crop yield potential if rainfall and soil nutrient input resources are utilized effectively. Thus, in 2011, we set up an on-farm experiment in Meru South (sub-humid) and Mbeere South (marginal sub-humid) sub-counties in upper Eastern Kenya to assess conservation-effective management (CEM) practices effects on maize (Zea Mays L.) yields response and soil nutrients. The CEM practices were; tied ridging (TR), mulching (MC), and minimum tillage (MT), with conventional tillage (CT) as a control. There were frequent dry spells and droughts during the experimental period. The experiment ran for four seasons, from the long rains season of 2011 (LR11), short rains seasons of 2011 (SR11), long rains season of 2012 (LR12), short rains 2012 (SR12), and long rains season of 2013 (LR13). In Meru South, TR and CEM effects on soil nutrients.The current dominating production and consumption model is based on the linear economy (LE) model, within which raw materials are extracted-processed-consumed-disca
