Due to high nutritive quality, good techno-functional properties and low cost, legume protein products are becoming the most appropriate alternative to protein products of animal origin. In food industries, these products are usually used as techno-functional additives which provide specific characteristics of final food products. Legume proteins are commonly used as flour, concentrates, and is...

Research has shown that techno-entrepreneurship is economically significant. Therefore, it is suggested that teaching techno-entrepreneurship may be important because such programmes would prepare current and future generations of learners to recognise and act on high-technology opportunities. Education in technoentrepreneurship may increase the knowledge of how to start one’s own enterprise an...

Although information and communication technologies is beneficial for improving employee performance, frequently learning new technologies or extensively using technologies to work in non-working hours may lead to an increase of employee’s techno-invasion. However, little is known whether techno-invasion, a technostressor, causes employee job anxiety. Also, it remains unclear “when” techno-inva...

In the workplace, technology can cause stress (“techno-stress”), which can erode the very productivity gains sought by the introduction of the technology. To treat this problem, our field must gain a more complete understanding of the factors which cause techno-stress, and of factors which may reduce technology-induced stress. This research-in-progress considers whether computer experience can ...

Johnson and Puplampu recently proposed the ecological techno-subsystem, a refinement to Bronfenbrenner’s theoretical organization of environmental influences on child development. The ecological techno-subsystem includes child interaction with both living (e.g., peers) and nonliving (e.g., hardware) elements of communication, information, and recreation technologies in immediate or direct envir...

Techno-Entrepreneurship referred by many as ‘Technology Entrepreneurship’ usually denotes a vehicle or means to facilitate prosperity in individuals, firms, regions, and nations. The study of techno-entrepreneurship therefore, serves an important function beyond satisfying intellectual curiosity. Technoentrepreneurship lies at the heart of many important debates, including those around launchin...

Techno-nationalism and techno-globalism are descriptive and prescriptive categories for understanding the impact of technology on society and vice versa. They reflect the underlying assumptions made by analysts of the place of technology in the world, and denote ideologies, rather than technological policies or realities. They also help us to realize that standard accounts of the nation and glo...

In this study, we explore the phenomenon of mobile technostress: stress experienced by users of mobile information and communication technologies. We examine the impacts of mobile technostress on individuals’ job satisfaction. Based on the Transaction Based Model of stress and the existing literature on technostress, a conceptual model was proposed to understand this phenomenon. Two sources of ...

In this paper I argue that an important strand of ecotheology should be an articulated techno-demonology—an understanding of the ways that technologies increasingly confront us as indifferent or malign agencies. Drawing particularly on the New Testament language of spiritual agencies, I consider in turn three necessary components of techno-demonology. First, techno-demonology needs a taxonomic ...

The aim of the research was to establish the infl uence of techno music on the reaction times of participants in the research. Our hypothesis was that stimulating music, such as techno, would shorten the participants’ reaction time to visual stimuli while, without music, the reaction time would be longer. To defi ne the reaction time to expected light stimuli we used a special apparatus for mea...
