Diversion as a reward element affecting mobile phone technology usage by public university undergraduate students in Nairobi, Kenya is the focus of this study. The study's goal was to see how distraction affected undergraduate university students' use of mobile phones. The uses and gratifications theory and media technological determinism hypothesis were used in the research. The target demographic consisted of 246,871 undergraduate university students in Nairobi, Kenya's public universities. Quantitative research was employed in this study. Self-administered questionnaires were utilised to collect data for the study. Purposive sampling was used in this study to get a sample size of 573 undergraduate students. The data was examined using descriptive and inferential statistics before being processed using SPSS version 22. Mobile phone technology has been crucial in diversion activities among undergraduate university students, according to the findings. The study found that t...

In knowledge economies, building technological capability is a continuous process and unarguably key to industrial policy development. Learning [by-doing in the industry] has been linked to a reduction in unit labor cost and overall production cost of goods and services. In this study, we comparatively studied the learning pattern of the Japanese manufacturing and service sector using industrial-leveldata. This study is perhaps the first attempt to comparatively study the productivity of the Japanese industry using the learning curve at the aggregate level. Looking back to almost 4 decade-long (19802017) of financial input-output data, we estimated the trend in technological learning using various learning models, calculated the annual progress ratios (via production function imputed in log-linear & cubic model) and revealed the dynamic technological learning across the two sectors at the aggregate level. This enabled us to identify years with good learning rates which are synonym...

Models are a valuable tool in various areas of knowledge and of course within the technology industry, they constitute strong support during the task of transmitting knowledge in a classroom, in addition to supporting the compression and construction of reality, as they represent characteristics of a relevant situation in a given topic. The types of models available today, are perhaps essential to develop certain activities, autonomous vehicles, smart homes, security cameras among many other applications that make use of reference models that support the development of new ideas. This work shows some of the main challenges are shared in models that the current academic population requires to reach that vision of generating new ideas or innovative changes in the IT industry. In this context, the models refer to special topics and which are tools to learn to develop analysis, logical-mathematical and innovative skills that will contribute to increase knowledge and solve cur...
