This paper aims to investigate strategic management measures aimed at increasing women’s representation in businesses in renewable energy. The research aims to identify the main hindering factors for sector development, as well as effective measures to raise awareness and involvement of women and other stakeholders. The research methodology sub-chapter describes the research, research instruments. This chapter analyzes research results, reflecting the opinions of interviewed respondents. The study primarily employs qualitative research methods and is divided into three stages. The first stage involves analyzing secondary sources, encompassing international and Georgian references. The second stage includes gathering relevant information from the State Statistics Service of Georgia. The third stage comprises in-depth interviews with expert women working in renewable energies. The conclusion summarizes the issues raised and analyzes research results regarding effective measures to increase employment and involvement of women in renewable energy businesses from a strategic management perspective, emphasizing the potential for women’s participation. The study reveals a significant employment market in the country within renewable energies, projected to expand further with increased utilization of the country’s renewable energy potential. However, the research also highlights challenges such as an inadequate educational system, low awareness levels, lack of scientific and statistical studies, and absence of appropriate legal norms to facilitate balanced gender involvement in the energy sector.

Article analysis new technological opportunities for Georgia to reduce the Small and Medium size Enterprises (SME) financing gap, which hinders not only their own, but country’s economic development. While SME sector has a vital role in employment, inclusiveness, gross domestic product generation and etc. in any country in the world and especially in developing ones, they still face significant credit constraints having bank centered, non-diversified financial systems within their economies. However, modern digital financial technologies, could be seen as a paradigm changing instrument for Georgia. The reasons for the Fintech industry at the initial stage of its development in Georgia are different and mainly related toward (but not limited with): not enough legislative support so far; lack of financial education among society and even SME sector; low competition on the market; covid-19 global pandemic and related challenges; not enough motivation among businesses and businessmen to spend enough time, money and effort to innovate; lack of interest from the fintech industry because of small market size and etc.; decrease the foreign direct investments and increase the investment’s share in the banking sector and the absence of qualified workforce in needed amount.

While generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is increasingly integrated into second language (L2) writing, the cognitive, affective, and behavioral mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of human–AI collaborative feedback remain insufficiently understood. The present study aims to investigate the impact of human-AI collaborative feedback on L2 writing performance and to verify the mediating effects of task motivation, cognitive load, and revision behavior. A quasi-experimental design was adopted with 66 Chinese EFL learners who completed an AI-assisted writing task. Data were triangulated from self-reported questionnaires, corpus-based automated linguistic indices (syntactic and lexical complexity), and manual coding of textual revision behaviors. The results indicated that human–AI collaborative feedback exerted significant positive direct effects on both syntactic and lexical complexity. Task motivation significantly predicted syntactic complexity but not lexical complexity, suggesting an asymmetric influence across different dimensions of language production. Furthermore, task motivation and revision behavior significantly mediate human–AI collaborative feedback, as well as both syntactic and lexical complexity. The findings were expected to provide empirical implications for constructing a learner-centered human-AI collaborative writing pedagogy and optimizing the instructional integration of generative AI feedback.

Purpose: While numerous studies have explored the general effects of parental separation on children's academic performance and emotional well-being, limited research has focused on its specific impact on delinquent behaviour among adolescents in Kenya, particularly in Kikuyu Sub-County. Therefore, this study looked at how parental physical separation affects students' delinquency in public secondary schools in Kenya's Kikuyu Sub-County. Methodology: The research employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative techniques to provide a comprehensive analysis. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect both types of data. The study targeted 482 students in public secondary schools in Kikuyu Sub-County who were experiencing parental separation, with a sample size of 219 students, selected through stratified random sampling. In addition, purposive sampling was conducted to select 20 students to respond to KIIs. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 27. Descriptive statistics (means, frequencies, and percentages) and inferential statistics (regression analysis and chi-square testing) were employed to evaluate the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Thematic analysis identified patterns and themes in the qualitative data, providing deeper insights into the experiences and perspectives of students regarding parental separation and delinquency. Findings: According to the study findings, physical parental separation had a significant influence of student delinquency. Specifically, the Pearson correlation between material separation and delinquency was 0.640. The regression model explained 55.2% of the variance in student delinquency, confirming the significant impact of physical parental separation on student behaviour. Recommendations: Based on the study findings, the study suggested that introducing mentorship programmes to support students facing physical separation from their parents was ideal.

O livro A (R)evolução do Branding (2023), de Ana Couto, apresenta uma análise abrangente sobre a evolução e aplicação do branding no contexto brasileiro. Dividida em sete partes, a obra aborda desde os desafios da construção de valor até estratégias de rebranding, gestão de propósito e comunicação. A autora, com formação multidisciplinar e experiência internacional, propõe uma metodologia própria baseada em produto, pessoas e propósito, destacando a importância da intencionalidade na criação de valor percebido. O texto enfatiza a relevância da brasilidade como diferencial competitivo e defende que o branding deve ser entendido como processo contínuo. Além de discutir casos nacionais e internacionais, o livro conecta branding a temas contemporâneos como ESG, inovação e estratégia competitiva, tornando-se referência prática e acadêmica para profissionais e estudantes de marketing, administração e comércio exterior.
