“…Underlying this goal was the need to identify similarities in engineering students' sources of stress and their approaches to maintaining their mental health. Our research design was guided by pragmatism, as we believe that (a) an objective reality exists but can only be encountered through subjective human experience [13], (b) beliefs and habits are socially constructed and subject to sociopolitical forces [14], (c) understanding the problem (i.e., treatment gap) and identifying practical solutions is the central priority [15], and (d) the best method (e.g., qualitative, quantitative) is the one most effective in achieving desired research outcomes [16]. Therefore, we used IBM as our guiding theoretical framework, semi-structured interviews as our method of data collection, and thematic analysis [17] to identify themes and patterns that could be used to organize and describe our data in rich detail.…”

in New Jersey before attending graduate school for her PhD at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA. Her research interests include engineering communication, process safety, and undergraduate student mental health. Recently, she was awarded an NSF RIEF grant to student mental health-related help-seeking in undergraduate engineering students. She is completing this project in collaboration with faculty members from educational and counseling psychology. With this work, they aim to better understand the help-seeking beliefs of undergraduate engineering students and develop interventions to improve mental health-related help-seeking. Other research interests include engineering communication and integration of process safety into a unit operations course.

Perceptions and preparedness of the tourism workers linked to climate change and COVID-19 in Barbados

The tourism industry is one of the main economic earners in the Caribbean and such is the same for the island of Barbados. With the focus on sustainable development goals and overall sustainability, tourism sustainability is at the forefront of discussions pertaining to sustainable development. The Tourism Master Plan (2013-2024) has taken it a step further and equated tourism sustainability to environmental sustainability. The aim of this research was therefore to explore the perceptions of workers and stakeholders on tourism sustainability in relation to COVID-19 and climate change, whether factors such as demographics can affect these perceptions and provide informed recommendations based on the results. A mixed-method approach was applied where 403 frontline tourism workers took a virtual survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 tourism stakeholders. Key findings indicate that perceptions and awareness on the topics of both climate change and COVID-19 do directly affect levels of preparedness as some responders noted a lack of knowledge on the subjects made them unaware of what to be prepared for. Most of the respondents agreed that climate change increases the probability of extreme weather events. Approximately, 38% showed disagreement that they are preparing to deal with climate change related issues in their work. Regarding to their perception on COVID-19 crisis, more than 50% of the respondents strongly agreed that they are in a high-risk group for COVID-19. Although most of the respondents believe that COVID-19 will continue to have a greater impact on the tourism industry in Barbados than climate change, very few respondents (1-18%) strongly agreed and agreed that they are prepared to deal with COVID-19 pandemic related issues in their work. The results of Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test found that there were no significant differences between preparedness actions for climate change and COVID-19 with regards to gender and age groups of the respondents. Besides, the key results of stakeholder interviews (n=10) revealed that stakeholders were informed to the extent of knowing the areas that affected their position within the industry directly. Recommendations include policies towards better information dissemination to all involved parties and constant interaction and cooperation. As a small island developing state Barbados has limited resources and opportunities, developing a sustainable tourism industry can serve to foster sustainable development practices in other sectors across the island.

In previous articles, we have addressed issues of organization and enterprise. It is shown that an enterprise is a hierarchicaly connected network of small groups - workers and management organizations. But not only organization is important, but also processes that permeate the entire hierarchy of the enterprise, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, and outside the hierarchy. Particularly important are the processes of goal setting - how do goals arise. The problems here are not so much with goal setting itself, as in determining the means of achieving it, which determine what goals an enterprise can set and achieve. So we have a closed loop of problems, from which it is impossible to single out either primary or secondary. As Georg Hegel noted as far back as 1807, this is a vicious circle from which there is no way out. As an analysis of domestic and foreign literature up to 2019 shows, no way out has been found to date. Accordingly, the efficiency of our Russian enterprises is significantly lower than the western ones. The purpose of the study is to find a way out of the existing situation: determining the path of building an enterprise that ensures, in the foreseeable conditions, the setting and implementation of the most achievable goals, ensuring the efficiency of the enterprise and its entry into the forefront in its industry. As a result of the study, it was shown that the goal of the enterprise can be considered as the implementation of the mission of the enterprise to optimally meet the needs of all interested parties. Of which the owner is the legislator of the enterprise - the founder of his institute. And the main goal of the enterprise is the formation of an institution that ensures the fulfillment of the noted mission. It is shown that the formation of such an institution will provide self-organization and self-government for setting maximum achievable goals, and maximizing the development of the enterprise, its team, and society as a whole. It is shown how to practically formulate a goal-setting system, a strategy and a structure, an institute, allowing to build an effective enterprise.
