Key research themes
1. How are foundational accounting principles and practices articulated for effective enterprise financial management?
This theme centers on the essential accounting principles and methodologies that underpin reliable financial reporting and decision-making in businesses. It addresses how accounting frameworks are structured, including the classification of accounting types, the principles guiding transactions recording, and the integral role accounting plays in corporate financial control and strategic planning.
Key finding: The work delineates the dual nature of accounting—general (external) accounting for financial reporting and analytic (internal) accounting for cost and profitability analysis—emphasizing their complementary use for... Read more
2. What are the effective vocal emphasis techniques and training outcomes for professional voice users such as radio announcers?
This research area investigates the usage and development of prosodic and vocal resources that enable professional voice users to convey clarity, emotion, and nuanced meaning effectively. It explores how specialized training modifies the employment of emphasis in speech, assessing perceptual, acoustic, and articulatory changes that improve communicative efficacy in broadcasting contexts.
Key finding: The study demonstrated that trained radio announcers exhibit more effective use of vocal emphasis resources—such as marked duration changes, pitch modulation, and well-timed pauses—compared to untrained individuals. This... Read more
3. How does spatial contiguity affect the learning and recall accuracy of position sequences?
This theme explores the cognitive and perceptual influences of spatial relationships between sequence elements on the acquisition and reproduction of ordered position information. It examines whether contiguous spatial presentation enhances recall performance and error reduction, with implications for understanding memory encoding strategies and designing effective learning interventions.
Key finding: The research found that spatial contiguity of positions at the beginning of a sequence reduces the number of errors during reproduction compared to contiguity placed in middle or later parts. However, no significant... Read more
