    In this work we construct an effective four-dimensional model by compactifying a ten-dimensional theory of gravity coupled with a real scalar dilaton field on a time-dependent torus. This approach is applied to anisotropic cosmological Bianchi type I model for which we study the classical coupling of the anisotropic scale factors with the two real scalar moduli produced by the compactification process. Under this approach, we present an isotropization mechanism for the Bianchi I cosmological model through the analysis of the ratio between the anisotropic parameters and the volume of the Universe which in general keeps constant or runs into zero for late times. We also find that the presence of extra dimensions in this model can accelerate the isotropization process depending on the momenta moduli values. Finally, we present some solutions to the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation in the context of Standard Quantum Cosmology.Comment: LaTeX source, 16 pages, Modified title and additional references.

    The study is a qualitative research using interview data to determine the characteristics of the startup enterprise in the shared accommodation business. The data was analyzed using inter-coding analysis for qualitative study. The startup reveals characteristics typical of the organizations the creativity phase of Greiner’s organization growth were systems needs to be organized and leadership and management need to set up the strategic direction for the company including better operational management systems. The management and employees aspire to survive this initial phase amidst steep market competition in the sharing accommodation. They need internal process development and set out with a shared future direction. The recommendations in this study is a response to its current situation transitioning to its desired future phase of development
