“…Cronbach’s alpha is a measure of internal consistency within a questionnaire, that is, how closely related a set of items are as a group. The interpretation was done on the bases of α value; “Excellent” (α ≥ 0.9), “Good” (0.9 > α ≥ 0.8), “Acceptable” (0.8 > α ≥ 0.7), “Questionable” (0.7 > α ≥ 0.6), “Poor” (0.6 > α ≥ 0.5), and “Unacceptable” (0.5 ≥ α) [ 16 ].…”

Objective : The present study aimed to validate a questionnaire and measure the previous knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the general population and healthcare professionals regarding the debilitating disorder of dementia. Design : A questionnaire including 27 items was compiled by the authors and was circulated via the online platform. Setting :A questionnaire-based survey was conducted using the online modality. Participants : A convenience sampling method was used to recruit participants aged 18 and above from all walks of life. Measurements : Test-retest reliability, item analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha were calculated for the compiled questionnaire. The responses of the participants were assessed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test. Results : A total of 503 responses were collected. The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.70) was acceptable and the test-retest reliability (0.823) was good. Eighty-one percent (408/503) of participants had heard the word dementia. Seven percent (27/408) of the participants who had heard the word dementia did not have any knowledge about the symptoms of dementia. Thirty-three percent (136/408) of participants believed that dementia could not be prevented. Almost half, i.e., 46% (187/408) of participants, considered dementia as a normal part of aging. Conclusions : The present study provides a fully validated questionnaire, which could prove helpful in research as it permits generating high-quality data and reducing measurement error. Knowledge of dementia among the general participants seems to be moderate and prompts towards the development of advocacy programs.

“…Broadly speaking, all the variables are above 0.8 alpha, which implies good reliability, except for SI variable with 0.786 alpha. However, this alpha value is still acceptable, as 0.7 alpha implies as acceptable reliability [49].…”

“…Hence, in this study, the pilot test was carried out with 35 respondents. Based on the data collected in the pilot test, all the questions in the variables are acceptable as the Cronbach's Alpha value are above 0.7 [49], as shown in Table 2.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the factors, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), subjective norms (SN), perceived risk (PR) and situational influences (SI)) that influence the consumers’ behavioral intention to use online shopping during the Coronavirus time. This research has adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as its theoretical base. This research is a quantitative research wherein data were collected through online questionnaire using convenience sampling method. A total of 203 valid samples were collected from Malaysian respondents from selected States. Then, single and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to test the hypotheses. The results concluded that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and situational influences have significant influence on Malaysian consumers’ behavioral intention to adopt online shopping during pandemic times. However, subjective norms and perceived risk have showed an insignificant relationship with consumers’ behavioral intention. The findings have implications for Malaysian government and SME companies in Malaysia in promoting online business.

“…Despite the attention paid to these phenomena and all the proposed solutions, this gap resists all efforts for closure (Oguz & Oguz, 2019). Not only technical skills but also workers' transferable soft skills are insufficient (soft skill gap) (Kraisuth & Panjakajornsak, 2018;McNamara, 2009). This situation is challenging for engineering and information and communication technology (ICT) also: Gaps between industry expectations and perceptions of graduates' skill sets are taking place (Chillas et al, 2015;Garousi et al, 2019;Ramadi et al, 2016;Stal & Paliwoda-Pękosz, 2019).…”

This article focuses on the demand for skills of highly qualified scientific and technical professionals (engineers and researchers) in robotics, on both a global and national level. Information is collected using the text-mining of open-access vacancies for understanding the global trends and in-depth interviews with experts for a more detailed study of national trends. The study explores the combination of hard and soft skills, as well as interdisciplinary skills. Soft skill requirements play an important role in the demanded skill set of the specialist, but the claims for hard skills (including digital) are not becoming less strict. Programming and the knowledge of specialized software packages are the most important skills, but must be combined with practical skills (assembly, welding, soldering). The broad range of application areas for robotic systems creates demand for new multidisciplinary skills (knowledge of artificial intelligence, new materials, and biology). Rapid technological development underlines the growing importance of soft skills, such as communication skills, self-motivation, and a willingness to learn. Lists of the most demanded skills in different countries principally coincide. Results can be applied for developing policies aimed at eliminating the skill gap in prospective technological areas.
