Amiri Barakas "In Memory of Radio": Marxist Dialectics |
Author : Aseel Hatif Jassam, Hadeel Hatif Jassam |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The paper discusses the dialectics of Barakas Marxism in relation to "In Memory of Radio," one of his best poems written during his Beat period and published in 1962. Though much of his poetry written during this period is judged by critics as having nothing to do with Marxism and thus no attempt is to be made to discuss his poetic production in the light of this literary theory, other literary critics prove that the seeds of establishing himself as a Marxist poet can find its roots in his Beat poetry prior to his transition to other two phases, namely the phase of Black nationalism and the phase of Marxist-Leninism. |

Reading Literary Theory between the Lines of Creative Writing: The Dialectics of Theory and Practice in the Creative Writing Pedagogy |
Author : Spyros Kiosses |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Literary theory and critical writing have been traditionally perceived as being in tension, either silently ignoring or polemically rejecting each other. In this paper we argue that literary theory and creative writing are interconnected on various levels. By acknowledging this fact, theory may be profitably deployed in the creative writing class, in order to enhance creative writers’ sense of literary mechanisms, conventions, and purposes in specific sociocultural contexts. In this way, theory informs students not only in relation to the poetics, but also to the pragmatics of the literary phenomenon. Theory askes creative writers to contemplate on how they themselves are socially, ideologically and culturally positioned as writers (and as readers) of literature, and how their activity is enmeshed in a broader process of personal and communal identity formation through language and literary representation. |

Death and Disease in Rabindranath Tagore’s works: Still the Music Will Play On |
Author : Mamta |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Death is an enigma that creates a sense of finality, and catharsis in the human mind. Death and disease have always had a strange fascination for creative minds. Epidemics and Pandemics have swept through the world and humanity has faced tragic en mass encounters with death since times immemorial. Art has effectively depicted the trauma, anguish, and devastation felt by mankind in this whole process. Literature has acted its role and has served as a great medium for sharing the pain of the bereaved humanity. Tagore, a herculean figure in the firmament of Indian Literature, could not remain untouched by the concept of death and disease. It reflects in his creative pieces that although he accepted death and disease as the parts of life, he could not help being caught in a philosophic pondering over the insignificance of human life against the potent power of disease and death. |

Author : Joven P. Bornasal, June Rey S. Sulatra, PhD, Helen A. Gasapo, EdD, Francis B. Gasapo, EdD |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Considering the poor performance in mathematics of the Philippines in international examinations like PISA and TIMSS, this paper investigated the effect of paper folding (origami) instruction in teaching geometry. The participants were eighty-six (86) Grade 8 learners which randomly assigned to two groups – the control group and experimental group. This study used the quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design. The experimental group was exposed to paper folding instruction and the control group learned through non-paper folding instruction. Results revealed the both groups achieved better performance through paper folding and non-paper folding instruction. However, the experimental group recorded higher mathematics performance compared to the control group. Thus, paper folding instruction promoted more effective learning in geometry. The information and insights from this study may be helpful to enhance the learners’ performance in geometry, the teacher’s strategies in teaching mathematics and to future researchers who would like to undertake similar studies. |

Author : Handoyo Prasetyo, Subakdi, Robinsar Marbun |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : As mentioned in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945, everyone has the right to live and the right to defend his life. All citizens are equally in the law and must uphold the law without exception. These rights and obligations also apply to workers who after devoting their lives for decades to the state through the company in which they work, entering retirement age and subsequently starting a new life as a retiree. There is a belief that State-Owned Enterprises (it is called as BUMN) is unlikely to go bankrupt because it is owned by the State, becomes the main choice of retirees to entrust the management of their pension funds to PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero). The problem arises when Jiwasraya plans a restructuring program of all Jiwasraya insurance policy, including an annuity policies owned by millions of retirees as a result of the losses suffered by Jiwasraya due to mismanagement and corruptive behavior of former The Board of Directors of Jiwasraya. Pensioners strongly object to the restructuring plan because it has the effect of reducing monthly pensioner benefits by up to 40% (forty percent), a very large amount that means for retirees who rely heavily on monthly money from pension funds, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic health and life costs are also increasing. This study will analyze whether the actions of The Board of Directors of Jiwasraya who restructure insurance policies fall into the category of ultra vires (actions outside the the board of directors authority), which to answer it researchers will use normative juridical research methods. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the insurance policy restructuring program is an ultra vires action, therefore it must be null and void. |

Abstract : After the enactment of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 65 / PUU-VIII / 2010, the history in the process of proving a criminal incident in Indonesia began to experience development. However, this creates a new problem because the decision of the constitutional court regarding the generalization of witness is contrary to legal norms in Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, especially in article 185 paragraph 1 and its exegesis. The decision of the constitutional court itself provides an opportunity for the testimonium de auditu to be used as evidence but does not provide a detailed explanation of the classification of the de auditu witness evidence including its type of evidence as evidence for witness testimony or indicative evidence following Article 184 of the Indonesia Criminal Procedure Code, exceptions regarding the acceptance of de auditu witnesses are used as evidence and the validity of testimony heard from other people (testimonium de auditu) is used as evidence. This also affects the quality of the judges consideration when the de auditu witness must be used by the judge as a basis for his consideration, especially in the aspect of justice (fair trial). This study uses a normative juridical method that uses two primary and secondary data sources. The results showed that the importance of detailed arrangements in the Criminal Procedure Code regarding exceptions using the testimony de auditu with certain conditions to ensure justice, certainty, expediency to create a fair trial. |

Author : Muazzama Foziliya |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : This article discusses the study of phraseology, one of the most interesting fields of study in world linguistics. Research in Uzbek and Turkish linguistics has been commented on. In Uzbek linguistics, attention is paid to the issue of grouping according to the meaning, lexical, methodological and semantic features of phraseology, and some shortcomings are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the semantic classification of phraseologies, the interpretation of complex phrases. It is explained by the scientific views of Turkish linguists on phraseology, the terms “idiom”, “expression”. It is also argued that the common features of phraseology in all languages of the world are the same, and in the language of writers the use of phraseology to give national identity. Lexical-semantic analysis of phraseologies and phrases refers to the national language, which reflects similarities in the worldview, religion and customs of the speaking population. At the same time, the phraseology used in the Ottoman period in the Turkish language was analyzed lexically and semantically. For this purpose, the author Rashod Nuri Guntekin’s novels “Choliqushi” (“Çalikusu”), “The Enemy of a Woman” (“Bir Kadin Düsmani”) were chosen as a source. In his novels, Rashod Nuri Guntekin notes that the protagonists used a lot of rhetoric to ensure nationalism in their speech, and that no other can be used in their place. Praising the author’s writing skills, the phraseology in his novels is analyzed lexically and semantically based on certain components. Accordingly, the expressions used by the author in the two works are classified according to a certain system. Author Rashod Nuri Guntekin’s novels, on the other hand, contain a variety of components. Turkish writer Rashod Nuri Guntekin’s novels “Cholikushi” and “The Enemy of a Woman” often use the phrase “Allah” and are used by the author to express various meanings. |

Author : Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Ng?c Dung, MA. Nguyen Minh Son |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Fifty years ago, Operation Lam Son 719 was organized by the US Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) to realize their scheme to cut off the Indochina battlefield separating the Vietnam revolutionary forces from the revolutionary movement of Laos and Cambodia.

The failure of Operation Lam Son 719 dealt a heavy blow to the Vietnamization strategy, showing the passive strategic approach in the Doctrine of Vietnamization. Operation Lam Son 719 played a big role in forcing the U S to agree to negotiate with Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Paris. |

Author : Abraham Lubem, Abado,Olushola Adeborode, Kolawole,Akinyemi, Oyawale |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The Middle East region has been thrown into a conundrum of conflicts in recent decades, with most of the countries in the region been affected by one conflict or the other. Notable among the conflicts was the Arab spring, which lead to the fall of most dictatorial regimes in the region. Others include the conflicts in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, among others. The true causative factors of these conflicts are still an ongoing debate. Some scholars link the conflicts to economic reasons, others see it as struggles for democracy, some point to religion, while some identify external proxy actors for been responsible for the unending conflicts in the region. It is predicating on this background that this paper seeks to trace the root(s) of the conflicts in Middle East region, and Syria specifically. The paper links the genesis of the conflict in Syria to the exacerbating effects of climate change and water scarcity, which resulted to the worst global drought in 100 years, affecting world major food producing countries. The drought drove food prices, especially major staples in the Middle East region, bread, and wheat to an all-time high. The development in turn spiked violence in the Arab world, “the Arab spring”, which also coincided with the beginning of the conflict in Syria. The paper identifies the inappropriate handling of the conflict by the Syrian government, and the involvement of external proxies as some of the factors that has made the conflict to linger for more than a decade. |

Comparing Traditional and Novel Methods in Determining Reach in Bicycle Fitting |
Author : Kurt Williams, Mary Zadnik , Sunddip Panesar-Aguilar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : In bicycle fitting, the literature has focus historically on the saddle height and knee flexion angle. There has been little focus in the literature on postural reach; this is the distance between the saddle and handlebars. Currently, this distance is determined by a specialist, a bicycle fitter, and is generally based on a trunk, shoulder, and elbow angle; however, it is primarily based on what "looks right" to the fitter and "feels right" to the client, rather than using anthropometric measurement. This study examined whether there was a relationship between anthropometric measures and postural reach, or if ideal fit should continue to be determined by a trial-and-error process, informed by expert opinion and client feedback. This study found that there was a moderate correlation r(9) = 0.663, p < .05 between the upper extremity measure and postural reach and a fair correlation r(9)= 0.296, p < .05 between the trunk measure and postural reach. A significant regression was found between the upper extremity length and the postural reach F(1, 9) = 7.06. The finding of this study does suggest that there is a relationship between the anthropometric measures and the postural reach. However, due to the low number of data points,the external validity may be somewhat limited, and it is suggested that the study be only used as a guide for future exploration. |

Author : Mst. Sanda Khatun, Dr. Md. Nurul Amin |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : A well-functioning food safety regulatory arrangement is important for ensuring the standards of foodstuffs, better food business, and the protection of public health in a given country. This article deals with the perceived determinants of the food safety regulation in Bangladesh. Based on literature review, we propose an analytical framework and identify key determinants that might influence effective food safety regulation in a developing country like Bangladesh. We then conduct a perception survey on 200 different kinds of stakeholders involved with the regulation of foodstuffs standards. We utilize descriptive mode of statistical analysis in our study. In our findings, actual autonomy of the main regulatory agency, and actual inter-organizational coordination are perceived as important determinates of effective food safety regulation. Proper enforcement of regulation, and accountability and transparency are perceived another factors of quality food safety regulation. It is also perceived that penalties are not sufficient enough for the food safety offences. Technical personnel and the state of the art laboratory facilities are other determinants of the regulation of food safety. Again, decentralized food safety regulatory network is perceived as very important determinant of the control of the food safety hazards at all level as well as an effective regulatory arrangement. The policy makers need to take into account the perceived determinates for desired food safety regulatory outcome in Bangladesh. |

Author : Francis Owusu-Mensah Ph.D, Abigail Mercy Opong Tetteh Ph.D,Lauretha Owusu-Mensah |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Design of distance education course materials is the single most important aspect of any distance education program. In recent times, many have questioned the experiences of the learners in the use of their course modules. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to find out the experiences of the distance education students in their use of the course modules (learner-content interaction), to see how it has been engaging, effective and efficient in their distance learning journey. Five graduates of the UEW distance education programme were chosen at random for this study and the in-depth interview guide was used to gather data. The four major themes that emerged from the phenomenological reduction process of the learners’ experiences with the distance education course modules were the user experience; module content; interactivity of the modules; and assessments. The findings of the study were that respondents had positive experiences in user experiences, module content, and interactivity of the modules. They however had not so good experiences with the assessment practices of their program. The findings only confirm the importance of learner-content interactions in distance education, it also adds to the limited literature on learner-content interaction in distance education in the developing countries like Ghana. |

Poly-Multiculturality in Higher Education: Methodological Level of the Research Concept |
Author : Oksana Chaika (Cajka), Liudmyla Vorotniak |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The article looks into the contemporary challenges for higher education in the era of unexpected global turbulences following the processes of globalisation not only in the social, political, economic and financial contexts but also in the educational domain. Multidimensional reality has brought its changes to communication and risen the standards of effective communication much higher than forecast in the previous years. The global developments drive for efficiency in intercultural dialogue, which causes reconsideration of the lingual status of education in multinational classrooms. The burning issues arise more sharply for cross border communication for business and diplomacy purposes. It means that a high demand in the educational market for LSP instructors (LSP – languages for specific purposes) at philology departments in Ukraine and abroad has started moving higher education to become more business oriented and stakeholder and university partnered. That said, it is necessary to analyse the existing foundations for poly- / multiculturality in higher education as supported by governments and the government of Ukraine, in particular, as well as go deeper into the levels of the research concept, the methodological level, to be more precise.
As part of the research, the paper describes the key methodological approaches to foster and cultivate poly- / multiculturality in multi-dimensional classrooms – polylingual and multicultural. Such approaches are viewed fundamental to educate high-class LSP instructors in the field of foreign language instruction and acquisition in higher education. Among them are the systemic approach including the structural one, the synergic approach to cultivate poly- / multiculturality with future LSP educators in foreign language classrooms, cross-cultural approach, axiological and communicative approaches, environmental and reflexive approaches, etc. |
