Remote Work and Psychological Wellbeing
The practice of telework, remote work, and working from home has grown significantly across the pandemic era (2020+). These practices offer new ways of working but come with a lack of clarity as to the role it plays in supporting the wellbeing of staff. It was evident that there is a lack of clarity on the actual effects of telework on employee wellbeing, but it appeared that it had a generally positive effect on the short-term wellbeing of staff, and created more flexible and proactive work design opportunities.

Irrigation Advisory Services
The EU research project OPERA—“Operationalizing the increase of water use efficiency and resilience in irrigation” focuses on the sustainable management of water resources in agriculture and the use of irrigation advisory services (IASs), and thus, intelligent irrigation systems that provide information to a large number of farmers have become useful tools for irrigation programs. The issue is not new, and extensive research and investments have been made to develop more advanced methods and practices to accurately provide water to the crops based on their needs.

Brand Hate
Regarding interpersonal hate, there are two schools of thought in terms of brand hate definition. One school, holding a more traditional interpretation of hate, believes that hate is a primary emotion associated with extreme dislike, aggressive impulses, individual emotional rejection, and group hatred. Another school of thought, a more widely accepted interpretation of hate among psychology and marketing scholars, believes that hate is comprised of several dimensions, namely, the negation of intimacy, passion, and commitment.

The “Pink Tax” and Gender Price Disparity in Personal Care
The “Pink Tax” refers to charging higher prices for products and services marketed primarily to women compared to similar or identical items targeted at men, despite comparable production costs. This research uses Unilever as a case study to focus on the impact of the Pink Tax on women’s purchasing power, particularly within the personal care industry. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the Pink Tax’s evolution, key research findings, public responses, and regulatory measures to address this issue. By synthesising existing research and case studies, this paper highlights the economic burden imposed on women and the reinforcement of gender stereotypes through market practices. The study underscores the need for equitable pricing mechanisms and informed consumer advocacy to rectify the economic disparities exacerbated by the Pink Tax.
