This paper deals with ‘political realm’ as a literary theme in African literature. It purports to evidence the manifestations of political power in Henri Lopes’ The Laughing Cry and Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah. The exploration of these novels from two post-colonial different linguistic areas reveals howthe political power is manifested throughout an absolute exercise the struggle for its preservation. This abuse and the misuse of the political power by the postcolonial ruling elites pave the way to the peasant masses’ disenchantment and the reign of social disorder that Africa is still struggling to get rid of. As a final assessment, this study posits the two analyzed works as political novels.

Traditional oral literature of Africa is counted as one of the most distinctly and varied categories of African literature with Chinua Achebe as pioneer.

The note of alienation and deviant human nature is so intricately explored in this novel that it has inspired numerous film adaptations.

The study aimed to deliver a valuable conceptual academic prospect based on a materialized use of Blended Learning (BL) in Spanish foreign language classroom with emphasis on lecturing treatments and learning approaches. This research was conducted by using mixed quantitative and qualitative research techniques. The study focused on collecting, analyzing, and mixing both quantitative and qualitative data because both research methods work together offer the best way to address the subject presented. This criterion involved the collection and analyze of associated researchers’ input, blended learning lecturing treatments and learning approaches used to conduct Spanish foreign language classroom, and the outputs from a survey given to 100 Spanish foreign language learners. The outcome revealed that using blended learning assignments based on the BL lecturing and learning insights outlined in this study help in determining good foreign language academic results, which could be used as a recycled-model for enhancing lecturing skills and developing competence materials based on the use of the Blended Learning method.

This study was aimed at assessing the change and continuity in the social organization in Ethiopia taking an example of Kore society, among the Amaro of southwestern Ethiopia. Qualitative research methodology was applied to describe the issue under consideration. The researcher tried to define social organization features and several of its associated components and their linkages. The study examines the way conquest and modernization deteriorated the social organization of the indigenous communities of Kore. It also tries to see the role of other factors like the missionary activities and the adherence of socialism by Ethiopian state as contributors.

This study examined leadership and non-financial performance at the brewery industry in Nigeria. The study used cross-sectional survey research design to survey 736 senior and junior employees of the company. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, job satisfaction scale, three-component commitment scale, and turnover intention scale was adopted to collect data. The participants were recruited through Survey Monkey. Stratified sampling was adopted to ensure representative sample. Three hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings of the study revealed that the three leadership styles are positively correlated with job satisfaction, and employee commitment. Also the three leadership style are negatively and statistical correlated with turnover intention. Cadre of employee (senior or junior employee) is a significant predictor of employee job satisfaction and commitment. Both age and years of experience on the job are significant predictor of employee turnover intention. On the basis of the aforementioned findings, this study concluded that the adoption of effective leadership style is critical to job satisfaction, employee commitment and turnover intention. It is recommended that leaders should adopt effective leadership style to foster employee job satisfaction and commitment with a view of lessen turnover intention.

The present research article emphasizes on the application settings of linguistic functions in communication through smartphone Mobil Communication. The study looks at the tech-apps WhatsApp and Telegram as networks to deliver written and spoken and icon language interchanges among the users. The study was conducted by following suitable research protocols. This prospect involved the revision of specialized materials such as publications and webpages focused on the subject being investigated. Database from a survey given to 100 students is also shown as part of this research criterium. The outcome of this study has drawn the attention of being academically aware about the Tech-Linguistics-System created by Tech-Apps-Users when conducting communication settings that involve lexicon and syntax stereotype linguistic messages. This study is very useful for scholars interested in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics Studies.

Assessment during virtual learning is a challenge to both lecturers and students in institutions of higher education. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order (MCO) that followed soon after created pandemonium in the education fraternity globally. Though blended learning was becoming the norm at private universities prior to COVID-19, there was still the avenue for face-to- face assessment until the outbreak of COVID-19. At this private university, ePortfolio as an ongoing assessment was introduced during the MCO. Seven students were involved in this case study which was carried out as part of a more extensive study on the use of ePortfolios as an ongoing assessment in institutions of higher learning. The findings of this study revealed students and their lecture’s experiences on the use of ePortfolio as an ongoing assessment in the virtual classroom. Findings show that students, though digital natives, were challenged by a number of factors including the technicalities of designing and managing an ePortfolio, lack of stable internet connection and the use of malfunctioning hardware. The student’s also highlighted the need for more support from the lecturers to understand the use of ePortfolio as an on-going assessment.

This article provides an overview of how the fate of cultural assets depends on political and social circumstances, in the course of the history of a country or region. In Cyprus, troubles for cultural heritage are evidenced not only by the history and the propagandistic means used by two ethnicities (Turks and Cypro-Greeks), but also by the influence of various foreign powers. Cultural heritage fell victim to robbery, looting and destruction. The article is based on two levels: The emphasis should first be on the political situation, the population and their historical heritage from antiquity to the present, then on the associated problem, which affects cultural heritage and tourism countries with it relying on. Very often, the controversy between theory and practice comes to the surface. Cultural assets have always been, and continue to be, victims of ethnic, religious and political conflicts, as well as economic and social poverty.

This article presents the results of a study comparing girls (81) and boys (74) in grade 8 in high school and their motivation to pass a test based on its evaluative function. The following techniques were used: correlation (r), t-tests for matched samples, Hotelling T2 multivariate and multiple regression test. The results showed that overall, the evaluative function of the test does not affect students’ level of motivation to complete it. However, genders showed differing motivation to pass the test based on its evaluative function. In addition the “amotivation” sub-scale could prove to be an effective tool to prevent dropping out, particularly among boys.

The technologies will directly impact the doctor-patient relationship. The health area will receive the help of new technologies such as: robotics, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and tel consultation. These technologies may cause resistance to treatment by patients, if they are not fully aware of how the technology will be applied in their medical treatment.
