Several machine learning and deep learning models have been implemented to help in the detection of fake news. In this research, we evaluate the merits and weaknesses of various algorithms for spotting false news. Deep learning models LSTM and CNN are examined alongside popular machine learning models such as Gaussian Naive Bayes, Decision Tree Classifier, Random Forest Classifier, XGBoost, and LightGBM. Accuracy is the metric against which the models are measured. In terms of accuracy in classifying false news stories, the results demonstrate that the deep learning models, and in particular LSTM and CNN, perform better than the machine learning models. While CNN is good at capturing structural information and local relationships, LSTM excels at capturing long-term dependencies and language patterns. The research emphasises the superiority of deep learning models in detecting false news, providing useful insights for the creation of trustworthy detection systems. The results pave the way for more studies into false news detection methods and contribute to their development.","PeriodicalId":201034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics Education and Research","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135952783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Assessing the Operational Efficiency of Microfinance Institutions in India Using Data Envelopment Analysis","authors":"","doi":"10.52783/jier.v3i2.293","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52783/jier.v3i2.293","url":null,"abstract":"In the global landscape, more than one billion individuals at the bottom of the economic pyramid lack access to formal financial services. The increasing demand for a broad spectrum of financial solutions for these underserved populations has driven a market-driven revolution in microfinance. This movement has led to the development and delivery of a diverse array of financial products. Over the past three decades, the microfinance sector has experienced substantial growth and diversification, resulting in the emergence of diverse institutions and delivery models. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a crucial role in serving low-income customers, often extending loans without requiring collateral, in contrast to traditional financial institutions that demand security for lending to the economically disadvantaged. Furthermore, MFIs are actively engaged in providing skill-based training to enhance productivity, organizational support, and consciousness-building training to empower impoverished communities. These institutions employ innovative approaches to reach the poor, including group lending, progressive lending, regular repayment schedules, and alternatives to traditional collateral. While existing research in the microfinance sector primarily focuses on impact assessment studies, with an emphasis on understanding the effects of microfinance activities on the lives of the poor, particularly women, only a few studies have employed non-parametric linear programming-based DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) models to evaluate the efficiency of microfinance institutions globally. Notably, the studies assessing the efficiency of Indian MFIs remain limited. This study is particularly relevant given its focus on the post-crisis period, post-2010. In order to ensure the sustained operation of microfinance institutions in the long term, it is essential for MFIs to reach as many borrowers as possible while minimizing operational costs. Therefore, this research endeavours to measure the input-oriented efficiency of selected microfinance institutions in India during the period spanning from 2011 to 2017.","PeriodicalId":201034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics Education and Research","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135507642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Self-services are one facet of technology advancement that service providers are embracing more and more in an effort to make workers' duties easier, encourage customers to do services on their own, and—most importantly—keep a step ahead of rivals. The growing potential of SSTs makes it more crucial than ever for service providers to take into account how their clients react to these SSTs. The study also attempts to identify gaps in the literature and propose prospective areas for future research in SSTs, specifically in the context of the Indian service sector, by performing an extensive literature review on consumer-related factors of SSTs. Through a comprehensive analysis of prior literature, the author identified areas of SSTs that remain unexplored and hence require additional investigation, particularly in the Indian service industry. Drawing from the insights gained from the literature review, the study presents a model that identifies the primary barriers that customers face when attempting to use SSTs. Additionally, it offers managers specific recommendations for fostering and sustaining a positive customer experience with SST use.","PeriodicalId":201034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics Education and Research","volume":"2021 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136203465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Affect refers to the feelings that employees experience as part of life and includes both moods and emotions. The circumflex model of effect proposes that all affective states arise from two fundamental neurophysiologic systems, one related to pleasure–displeasure continuum and the other to arousal. This study emphasizes the effectiveness of the employee in the workplace with their organizational commitment to the mediating effect of the workplace environment. Organizational commitment is an individual's psychological attachment to the organization. The workplace environment is an essential component of work life for employees as employees spend a significant part of their time at work, and it affects them in one way or the other. The workplace environment also includes the psychological aspects of how employees work and their well-being at work. The study has created the eye opening for the organization to focus on the workplace environment since the result shows that the workplace environment influences the feel of the employees when they enter the office. The result shows that there is a positive correlation between commitment and workplace environment. The results also prove no correlation between mood and workplace environment. It also proves that mood has a positive correlation with commitment. Those who feel the workplace environment is good their commitment level is also high.  The organization can focus on soft skill training for the employees. The workplace environment has to be focused more since it influences the commitment level of employees. In order to improve the mood, activities can be done once in a month.","PeriodicalId":201034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics Education and Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apprehension among the consumers & firms over sustainability concerns & skewed ecological imbalance is causing the stakeholders to opt for decarbonization tactics. An improvised carbon management system & operational decarbonization can synergistically lead to realization of eco-centric sustainability. The objective of the paper is to qualitatively decode the mechanism by which eco-centric sustainability may be realized by conjugation (mix) of carbon management systems & techniques of decarbonization. A hybrid qualitative approach applying grounded theory to literature rich content and then subjecting it to conceptual framework analysis was used to draw inferences. Systematic data mining technique was the preferred choice for exploring the relevant literature. The inductive findings of the paper encompass the various interventions of carbon management systems & decarbonization and the mechanism by which the twin concepts may assist in attainment of sustainability.

{"title":"The Impact of Corporate Rebranding on Customer Perception: Evidence from the Textile Industry","authors":"","doi":"10.52783/jier.v3i2.275","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52783/jier.v3i2.275","url":null,"abstract":"The term \"Corporate Rebranding\" refers to the deliberate process through which businesses seek to alter their public persona and standing in the eyes of consumers. Rebranding helps businesses keep their competitive edge, adjust to new market realities, and recover from unfavourable press. Rebranding has been widespread in the textile sector, with businesses placing significant emphasis on advertising and public perception in order to attract and retain customers. Yet, client reaction is crucial to the success of any rebranding effort. Rebranding has the potential to boost consumer loyalty, brand equity, and market share if received well by the target audience. The purpose of this study is to analyse how a company's decision to rebrand will affect its image in the textile market. The study will examine the degree to which consumers' impressions of a firm shift after it undergoes a rebranding effort, using a mixed-method approach that draws on qualitative and quantitative data sources. In-depth interviews and focus groups with clients will be used as a qualitative data source, while surveys and secondary data analysis will be used for quantitative purposes. The study will also look at what influences consumers' impressions of the rebranding. Customers' reactions to a rebranding effort might vary depending on a variety of circumstances, including the company's existing brand loyalty, the authenticity of the new brand, and the perceived value of the new brand. For instance, brand loyalists may view a rebranding effort unfavourably if they believe it is not in line with the company's basic principles or threatens the integrity of the brand. Customers may also react badly to a company's rebranding effort if they believe it is an attempt to mislead them. Findings from this study can help companies in the textile sector that are considering rebranding projects, as well as anybody interested in learning more about the effects of corporate rebranding on consumer perception. Companies may better satisfy consumer requirements and expectations with rebranding campaigns if they have a firm grasp of the aspects that affect customers' perceptions of such efforts. Long-term success depends on factors like customer loyalty, brand equity, and market share, all of which may improve if this is implemented properly.","PeriodicalId":201034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics Education and Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135263638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
