Traditional input methods such as physical mice and keyboards can be limiting for users with mobility impairments or in scenarios where hands-free operation is desired. Our system addresses these challenges by leveraging advancements in computer vision and natural language processing to enable users to control the mouse cursor and execute commands through hand gestures and voice input.</p> <p>The core of our system lies in the fusion of hand gesture recognition and voice assistant technologies, providing users with a versatile and efficient means of interacting with computers and other smart devices. Through a combination of depth sensing cameras and machine learning algorithms, the system accurately detects and interprets a wide range of hand gestures, allowing users to perform actions such as cursor movement, clicking, dragging, and scrolling with ease.</p> <p>Furthermore, security is a paramount concern in modern computing environments, especially with the increasing prevalence of AI-driven interfaces. To address this, our system incorporates robust security measures, including user authentication through voice biometrics and encryption of communication channels to safeguard sensitive data.</p> <p>Overall, our AI virtual mouse system represents a significant advancement in human-computer interaction, offering a seamless and secure interface that empowers users to interact with computing devices more naturally and efficiently.</p> Dr. Nisha Patil, Moeeza W.

Q-Sourcing Company Limited needed to establish remote work rules and processes to accommodate employee remote work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government requirements. The human resources department at Q-Sourcing Company Limited faced the challenging task of keeping remote workers motivated and productive with minimal supervision. Therefore, understanding the effects of remote work on human resource performance is essential.</p> <p><strong>Aim:</strong> The study aims to investigate how remote work affects human resource performance at Q-Sourcing Company Limited in Rwanda.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This study employs a descriptive research design, targeting a population of 100 employees with a sample size of 67 respondents. A case study approach is utilized to accomplish the research goals. A random selection of seven departments at the Q-Sourcing headquarters in Kigali County is made using stratified random sampling. The departments include customer service, enterprise, IT, marketing, corporate relations, and operations. Data is collected and analyzed using SPSS version 21, with results presented through tables, graphs, and charts.</p> <p><strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> The study reveals that location independence positively impacts employee productivity and job satisfaction, according to most respondents. However, a significant number of respondents (mean 3.88) disagreed with this statement, indicating mixed feelings about the impact of location independence on work-life balance (mean 3.76). The overall mean score for project planning effectiveness was 4.37 on a five-point Likert scale, suggesting a strong positive influence of remote work on HR performance at Q-Sourcing Limited.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The research concludes that remote work, specifically location independence, generally has a positive effect on HR performance at Q-Sourcing Company Limited. Despite some mixed feelings about the impact on work-life balance, the overall perception is favorable. The findings underscore the importance of well-structured remote work policies and processes to enhance HR performance and employee satisfaction.</p> Kamanzi Felix, Dr. Eugenia Nkechi Irechukwu Copyright (c) 2024 Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10377 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Social Media Marketing Strategies And Customer Engagement In Rwanda https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10378 <p>This paper assessed the social media marketing strategies on customer engagement with a particular focus on Mango Telecom Rwanda, Kigali.

This study helps in understanding the status of millennials' investment behavior and decision-making processes in the market. Data were collected through 284 structured questionnaires, which were analyzed using KMO and descriptive statistics. The results indicate that risk tolerance significantly influences which types of investments millennials opt to make, and the higher financial literacy scores positively correlate with increased investment activity. The research further indicates that millennials like self-directed investment and nearly rely on digital platforms and online information sources. Moreover, the analytical relationship of the constructs as portrayed by SEM also brings out the connection between the constructs. The results of the study highlight that the millennials base major decisions for investment on the perceived risk and financial literacy. This paper contributes to the overall body of behavioral finance research by shedding light upon the influence of gender dynamics and financial market performance as elements underpinning the current importance of financing literacy and perceived risk in fostering greater investment participation in millennials.</p> K Prajwal, Sushma B S, Chandrakala D P Copyright (c) 2024 Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10479 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Sustainable Development Goals in India: A Strategic Policy for Economic Growth https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10484 <p>In the broadest sense, sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time.

Education empowers people to transform from a human being to having human resources. In present context of globalization, quality higher education is needed to uplift creativity, talent, adaptability and research mindset. In order to fully utilize the outcomes of education, it is important to ensure that education is meeting the minimal prescribed standards to fulfil ever-changing requirements worldwide. Accreditation, a powerful tool of quality assurance, is used to assess the national system of higher education. Accreditation is considered as a quality stamp, which ensures that an accredited institution/programme has undergone a rigorous process of external peer evaluation based on predefined standards/principles and complies with the minimum requirements. This paper focuses on the outcomes of accreditation to enhance excellence in higher education institutions (HEIs) based on a literature review and empirical research. Previous studies in various national contexts are reviewed here, based on which, the question of whether accreditation can really enhance the excellence of HEIs is answered and factors behind it are explored.</p> Gude Chalapathi, Dr. Thirumoorthi Copyright (c) 2024 Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10579 Mon, 11 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Meta Physics Of Samkhya-Yoga: An Analytical Study https://tojqi.net/index.php/journal/article/view/10585 <p>The Samkhya system of Kapila is said to have been existing during the seventh century B.C.E. However, the earliest available text on this philosophy is the commentary by Isvara Krishna of the third century C.E. The system is most notable for its theory of evolution and for its reduction of the numerous categories of Nyāya and Vaisesika to two fundamental ones, namely, purusha and prakriti, the former being understood as Universal Awareness and the latter as Universal</p> <p>energy. Prakriti is often translated as “Nature.” However, it is clear from the writing that the wider and larger definition of creative energy is what is meant by Kapila when he uses it. For him, “Nature” is part of the Universal Energy.</p> Dr. S.
