CREATIVE RECEPTION OF BIBLICAL MYTHS IN THE B. CHIPCHIKOV'S RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE PROSE
Authors:   Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Federal State Budgetary Scien-tific Establishment «Federal Scientific Center «Kabardian-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences», Asiyat D. Atabieva
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this article is to look at the theosophical issues that are significant in modern reali-ties considering examples of adaptation and qualitative reconstruction of religious plots, biblical mythologies, fragments from the scriptures in the works of the Russian-speaking author B. Chip-chikov. This project seeks to identify antecedent religious inserts, quotations, and reminiscences in the works of the Balkarian prose writer. The research focuses on the semantics of biblical allu-sions, intertextual discourse, forms of figurative reflection on the world through mythotheo-logems. In the course of the analysis, the hidden meanings of the literary text, the ideological con-tent of stories and short stories in the aspect of the sacred meanings inherent in them are revealed, the philosophical and symbolic images are deciphered from the point of view of their semiotic status, the subtext rolled up in them is read. The primary goal of the research is to determine the specifics of the writer’s individual perspective, as well as to define the ideological and creative foundations of his works. We attempted to describe the author’s anthropology’s humanistic es-sence, which consists in the proclamation of notions such as personal self-improvement, the value of human existence, the necessity of spiritual vision, intuitive feeling, rethinking the divine de-sign, and many other related themes. The author’s intentionality and receptive aesthetics enable us to model a conditional picture of the world, artistically embodied in all of its contextual expres-sions.
MORAL DILEMMAS AND ETHICAL CONFLICTS IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND IN THE PROSE OF F. ISKANDER
Authors:   Peoples' Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba, Zhila Rahmanikhalilelahi
Published: January 2024

This article is an exploration of moral dilemmas and ethical conflicts in Russian literature of the 20th century and their influence on shaping public consciousness and dialogue on moral issues. The article actively engages in a deep analysis and discussion of various moral aspects present in Russian literature of the 20th century. Key themes such as freedom, justice, identity, collectivism, and individuality take center stage. The article examines these ethical questions through the prism of well-known literary works of that time, including those by B. Pasternak, M. Bulgakov, Y. Za-myatin, and the Abkhazian writer F. Iskander. Particular emphasis is placed on how these moral issues materialize in the characters and stories of literary works. The analysis explores the mean-ings, dilemmas, and conflicts presented by authors through their characters. This approach adds depth to the article, enriching the discussion of moral issues not only in the abstract but also in literary works. The study methodology is founded on an examination of the socio-cultural back-drop, the impact of historical events on social and moral standards, and a thorough examination of genres and major works. The novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of moral dilemmas and ethical conflicts presented in Russian literature of the 20th century. The arti-cle’s findings can be valuable in literary studies, philosophy, ethics, education, social sciences, and cultural studies. They can be used to debate and examine moral concerns, the impact of litera-ture on public opinion, and to spark public debate and shape public consciousness. The article un-derscores the importance of Russian literature of the 20th century in exploring moral dilemmas and ethical conflicts, as well as its role in shaping public consciousness and dialogue on moral is-sues.
MYTH AND THE YOUNGER EPIC: PROBLEMS OF DIFFUSION (based on the materials of the legend and song about Legerokopsh)
Authors:   Institute of Humanitarian Researches – Affiliated Federal State Budgetary Scien-tific Establishment «Federal Scientific Center «Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences», Lyana A. Gutova
Published: January 2024

The article examines the patterns of use of mythological motifs in the cycle of the younger, histor-ical-heroic epic. It is established by analyzing the song and legend about Prince Lezheroko (Le-zherokopsh) that elements of mythological concepts have a subordinate place in the younger epic, but they can play a major part in the plot’s development. Their use is related to how stable the be-liefs associated with existing beliefs are in the collective consciousness. Thus, we may not be talk-ing about a consciously accepted artistic invention, but about ideas existing in traditional society. In the specific case of the cycle about Lezheroko, the fantastic characters genies and the hero’s participation in the conflict between them are recognized as a reality that has a direct connection with reality. The same is the nature of the use of elements of mysticism in some other cycles. This preserves the established generic feature of the younger epic - the perception of the events and personalities described as having a real factual basis in reality. This circumstance does not reduce the level of aesthetic significance of the elements of mythology in the lyrics of songs and legends of the younger epic, but introduces its diversity into the artistic system of the genre.
Impact of Books and Cartoons on Developing Children's Behavior
Authors: Iskanderova Shirin Daniyarovna
Published: January 2024

Books and cartoons are two of the most popular entertainment for children. While books are known for their ability to stimulate the imagination and develop literacy skills, cartoons are known for their colorful and entertaining visuals. However, the influence of books and cartoons on children's behavior is the subject of much debate. Some argue that books have a greater impact as they encourage critical thinking and promote positive values, while others argue that cartoons have a stronger impact due to their ability to captivate and entertain young minds. In this article we will look at this topic and try to determine which of these two tools has the greatest impact on children's behavior.

The analysis revealed discernible shifts in the climate patterns with increased temperatures across the continent, whereas no clearly defined pattern in precipitation was observed. The program yielded remarkable outcomes, substantiating the effectiveness of providing students with training that enhances their skills and fosters collaboration. The paper delves into the program's strengths, limitations, and outcomes, offering insights into fostering the next generation of climate scientists while bridging the academia-industry gap. Also, the program also provided a platform for the students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world, climate issues. Such initiatives play pivotal roles in developing the skills and passion needed to address urgent climate-related issues, ensure sustainable climate futures.
Land transformation on multi-decadal timescales reveals expanding croplands and settlements at the expense of tree-covered areas and mangroves in Nigeria
Authors: Akinyemi Felicia , Ifejika Speranza Chinwe
Published: January 2024

Evaluating how land-cover is being transformed is essential to identifypatterns necessary to infer the change trajectories and the drivingfactors. This study considers the case of Nigeria, where various naturalecosystems are being converted and for which a current national scaleassessment is lacking. Producing Landsat-based time-series, we analyzechange among land-cover types (i.e., tree-covered area, grassland,wetland, waterbody, cropland, artificial surfaces and otherland) acrossseven agroecological zones. The annual intensity of change was assessedat multi-levels across two time-intervals (i.e., 2000 – 2013, 2013 –2022). Distinguishing between natural land-cover and human activity relatedland-use, we estimate the extent of change signifying howhumans have appropriated natural land-cover. Insights from analysis atthe interval level reveal that land transformation accelerated from 3.3%in 2000 – 2013 to 4.5% during 2013–2022 in all agroecological zones(e.g., rainforest, mangrove), except in Sudan and Sahel savannah wherespeed was higher in 2000–2013 as grasslands were increasinglycultivated. Cropland expanded two-fold (22% to 37%), whereas treecoverdeclined from 50% to 31% and wetland from 7% to 3.7% over the23 years. Much loss of natural land-cover (e.g., tree-cover, grasslandand wetland) to cropland mainly occurred in 2000 – 2013 (22%) whenmost irrigation schemes in Nigeria were established. In contrast, the lossof natural land-cover to settlement (0.9%) during 2000 – 2013 increasedto 2.0% in 2013 – 2022. Of all agroecological zones, the mangrove zonewas most disturbed as its persisting land-cover areas reduced from 69%to 5% between 2000–2013 and 2013–2022. The amount of persistingland-cover was highest in the Sudan Savannah at 44% in 2000–2013and 49% in 2013–2022. Processes of human appropriated natural land-cover in Nigeria are related to urbanization and cropland expansion intonatural areas with some instances of natural regeneration, especially inabandoned croplands and settlement areas.
Explicit and Implicit Sense of Agency in Depersonalization Experiences
Authors: Ciaunica Anna , Ayache Julia , Haggard Patrick , Nakul Estelle , Bonnet Emanuelle , Auvray Malika
Published: January 2024

The sense of agency, i.e. the subjective feeling of voluntarily controlling one’s bodily actions is profoundly altered in Depersonalisation (DP henceforth), a condition that makes people feel detached from one’s self and body. The intentional binding (IB henceforth) effect has been proposed as an influential implicit measure of the sense of agency. IB refers to the phenomenon of perceived temporal compression between a voluntary action and its subsequent consequence. To examine the link between DP and the sense of agency in non-clinical population, an online study was conducted, combining the IB task as an implicit measure of the sense of agency with self-reports measuring the explicit sense of agency. Our study found no significant differences between individuals with low and high occurrences of DP experiences with regards to implicit sense of agency. However, a trend for participants with higher occurences of DP experiences to display a steeper slope, i.e. a more time-sensitive explicit sense of agency was observed. Specifically, whilst temporal estimations were significantly different for short intervals in the Baseline condition for the High and Low DP groups, this difference was not significant in the Operant condition, suggesting that action might “help” DP participants with high scores to experience the same temporality with participants scoring lower on the depersonalization scale.
Where you live might influence how your serotonergic antidepressants work: An eye-tracking study in depressed patients
Authors: Bosch Kari , Vrijsen Janna , Henckens Marloes , Homberg Judith R. , Schubert Dirk
Published: January 2024

Depression is a severe mental disorder most often treated with serotonergic antidepressants (ADs). Unfortunately, pharmacotherapeutic responses differ greatly between patients, and our mechanistic understanding of AD modulators is limited. According to the undirected susceptibility of change hypothesis, the effects of ADs on depressive behaviour can be influenced by the patient’s environment. Using population density as an index of social environment, we investigated in depressed patients whether their living environment modulated the AD treatment effect on a behavioral marker for depression: eye tracking-based attentional bias for socially relevant information (i.e., facial expressions). Our data indicate a significant role for the environment moderating attention bias in depressed patients. Specifically, the interaction between population density and the attention for different emotional facial expressions indicated that a low population density could have a protective effect on automatic depressotypic behavior; an effect most prominent in patients on serotonergic ADs. Possibly, less frequent unavoidable social contact and reduced overall sensory stimulation, particularly in combination with serotonergic AD treatment, benefits mental health. These findings challenge our thinking about (and stimulate research on) taking a patient’s environment into account when prescribing pharmacotherapy for depression.
The Utilitarian Brain: Going Beyond the Free Energy Principle
Authors: Hemmatian Babak , Varshney Lav R. , Pi Frederick , Barbey Aron Keith
Published: January 2024

The Free Energy Principle (FEP) is a normative computational framework for iterativereduction of prediction error and uncertainty through perceptioneintervention cycles thathas been presented as a potential unifying theory of all brain functions (Friston, 2006). Anytheory hoping to unify the brain sciences must be able to explain the mechanisms ofdecision-making, an important cognitive faculty, without the addition of independent,irreducible notions. This challenge has been accepted by several proponents of the FEP(Friston, 2010; Gershman, 2019). We evaluate attempts to reduce decision-making to theFEP, using Lucas' (2005) meta-theory of the brain's contextual constraints as a guidepost.We find reductive variants of the FEP for decision-making unable to explain behavior incertain types of diagnostic, predictive, and multi-armed bandit tasks. We trace the shortcomings to the core theory's lack of an adequate notion of subjective preference or “utility”, a concept central to decision-making and grounded in the brain's biological reality. We argue that any attempts to fully reduce utility to the FEP would require unrealistic assumptions, making the principle an unlikely candidate for unifying brain science. Wesuggest that researchers instead attempt to identify contexts in which either informationalor independent reward constraints predominate, delimiting the FEP's area of applicability.To encourage this type of research, we propose a two-factor formal framework that cansubsume any FEP model and allows experimenters to compare the contributions ofinformational versus reward constraints to behavior.

Mobility in Dhakal’s Seti Pani Kali Pani
Authors: Kattel Achut Raj
Published: January 2024

This research focuses in the area of niyatra, a Nepali term to denote a travel writing with the writer’s personal feelings and experiences. Prateek Dhakal’s Seti Pani Kali Pani picturizes many distant villages and hillsides of western Nepal and Nainital, India. This research is helpful to introduce the local area into the international arena and Nepali niyatra theory and literature in global context. It adopts Balkrishna Pokhrel, Nirmohi Byaas and Jaya Chhangchha’s theory on niyatra as research approach. The research also borrows concepts of travel writing proposed by some other western theorists like Carl Thomson and Mary Baine Campbell. For them, mobility is a key point of travel writing in general and niyatra literature in particular. This research addresses the issue how the theme of mobility is dominating in the text. The major objective of the research is to point out the movement from the beginning to the end of the text. The findings present many evidences of movement in Dhakal’s Seti Pani Kali Pani. To show the mobility, the description of landscape and places, society and culture and events and lifestyle in the text is analyzed. The research concludes that Dhakal’s Seti Pani kali Pani has the theme of mobility. This text has to be studied further by using another theme of Niyatra that is depiction of local.
Stereotypes and Gender Roles in Pandey’s Jiyara: Changing the Script
Authors: Bista Asmita
Published: January 2024

Nayan Raj Pandey’s Jiyara, an anthology of stories, portrays the prevailing gender practices in the Madhesi community that make women’s life devastated. The anthology highlights that existing gender norms promote inequality, violence and injustice against women. So, the study investigates how the gender roles are instituted and imposed to the females in the story “Janaani” in particular and in the Madhesi community in general. It scrutinizes the issues related to socially prescribed gender roles that bring in the life of Madhesi women. This paper assesses the factors that force the Madhesi women to subvert the scripted gender roles. To address these objectives, Judith Butler’s ideas on gender performativity, gender regulation and gender subversion are used. In Butler’s understanding of gender, the ‘performances of gender’ are enforced through the social script. She views that an individual’s gender is created by performing the script repetitively; however, the act of repetition creates the space for the individual to repeat the acts differently. Therefore, though a society constrains the individual in stereotyped gender roles, one seeks various possibilities within those constraints to break them. The selected story illuminates the prevailing gender stereotypes in the Madhesi community that act as a prime cause of the plight of Jamenty, the central character of “Janaani”. The paper concludes that since gender is an unstable entity which can be constituted by the individual differently, Jamenty, a representative female of the Madhesi community, subverts the socially imposed gender roles.
Do Humanity and Duty Conflict? A Moral-Philosophical Reading
Authors: Bhatta Damaru Chandra
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this article is to explore the idea how humanity (human values) and duty conflict in many circumstances. I believe that they cannot be done at the same time and when one tries to do one of them alone, the other comes on the way. And to prove this, I have referred to characters and quotes from different areas of knowledge such as Buddhist and Hindu religions, literature, law, education, medical profession, war, army and, especially from the Bhagavad-Gita. Humanity or human values are truth, right conduct, love, peace, and non-violence. All religions are formed under this basic foundation. Duty is an obligatory act or a course of action that is to be fulfilled according to one’s position, social custom, law, religion, or morality of a particular culture.
Representing the Marginalized Tamang Community in BinaTheeng’s Yaambunera [Near Kathmandu]: A Hallian Analysis
Authors: Rai Jiwan Kumar
Published: January 2024

This paper attempts to analyse Bina Theeng’s “Yaambunera”, the title story of the anthology Yaambunera, exploring the lived experiences of ethnic Taman people of Taulung, an ignored and unheard village, which is an adjoined village of the Kathmandu valley. The paper discusses the lifestyles, socio-economic condition, struggles, hardships and sufferings of the illiterate Tamang community that analyses the literary value and purpose of representing this marginalized world of common Tamang people. Stuart Hall’s concept of representation has been applied as a theoretical tool to achieve the set objectives of the study. Hall argues that representations are not independent and innocent reflections of the real but they are cultural constructions which are selected and constituted by power. In this sense, representation is a cultural product rather than an autonomous process of constructing a meaning. From this theoretical stand, the story is analysed as a discursive representation of Tamang people’s marginalized world that produces and defines the overshadowed body of knowledge about ethnic Tamang community and their ways of life. This study, therefore, provides an insight to see and understand the ways of life and sufferings of poor Tamang people of Taulung, an overlooked village though the village is adjoined to the capital city Kathmandu, Nepal.
Structural Reflection: Race and Class in James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues”
Authors: Rai Kamal
Published: January 2024

This research paper explores that the African American repression against the Afro- American community in American society takes place primarily due to two factors: race and class. Behind the story of the dejected position of the Black community, there is not only a single reason but rather multiple factors that are intertwined. Basically, Baldwin’s story "Sonny’s Blues" represents that race and class seem to be contributing aspects to their disregarded presence in society. In addition, most people believe that Afro-Americans are treated as others simply due to racism in the white-dominated American society. However, using two theories: Marxist classism and African American theories, analyzing the story Sonny’s Blues, this paper aims to show how both class and race simultaneously become the basic foundation of oppression against the Afro- American community. Actually, for how long and how deeply Afro-Americans have been subjugated in American society as a consequence of their race and economic class. It means the story reveals both economic class and race would be responsible for their wretched status in the White Mainstream American society.
Mountaineering Chronicles: Exploring Climbers’ Experiences on the Ascents of Mount Everest and Mount Annapurna
Authors: Gautam Pragya
Published: January 2024

Mountaineering possesses an inherent allure that captivates individuals invoking a deep fascination within the human psyche and mountaineering narratives demonstrate that the enthralling nature of this adventure sport brings a sense of inner peace and contentment to climbers’ lives. By ascending towering peaks like Mount Everest and Mount Annapurna, they establish a profound connection with nature, pushing one’s physical and mental boundaries, and acquiring heightened self-awareness and understanding of the human condition. Furthermore, mountaineering is regarded as a source of knowledge, power, purity, and faith. Despite the inherent risk, the reward of experiencing sublimity at the summit is worthwhile. Climbers passionately strive for a sense of fulfillment that can only be attained by reaching the top of the mountain, a world apart from everyday life.

Polish Modernism in a Double Transfer: Bolesław Leśmian in Russian and the Illustrative and Editorial Choices of Andrei Bazilevsky
Authors: Kaźmierczak Marta
Published: January 2024

Bezludnaya ballada (2006) is a comprehensive collection of Russian translations of the major Polish modernist author Bolesław Leśmian. The book is equipped with graphic works by important Polish artists who were Leśmian’s contemporaries. However, the potential connected to such a double cultural transfer is underplayed by the editor and publisher, Andrei Bazilevsky. The aim of the article is thus to examine whether the volume is indeed composed as a meaningful bi-semiotic complex, among other things, whether particular illustrative choices are felicitous, and to what extent the recipients have a chance to taste the Polish modernism in a double dose.
Ile Przybyszewskiego w Przybyszewskim? Kontrowersje wokół bułgarskich wydań utworów pisarza
Authors: Misztela Piotr
Published: January 2024

Artykuł analizuje kontrowersje, jakie pojawiały się w Bułgarii wokół tamtejszych edycji utworów Stanisława Przybyszewskiego, ukazujących się na początku XX wieku. Pierwsza część tekstu bada sceptyczne głosy odnoszące się do działalności translatorskiej poświęconej dziełom polskiego modernisty, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem trylogii powieściowej Homo sapiens (doczekała się ona aż trzech bułgarskich wydań!) oraz patriotycznego eseju Szlakiem duszy polskiej. Druga część artykułu skupia się na zagadkowej kwestii jednoaktowej sztuki pt. Wokół kwestii kobiecej. Wydana razem z dramatem Dla szczęścia w 1910 r., podpisana została jako „zbułgaryzowany przekład” utworu Przybyszewskiego, dokonany przez Aleksandra Simeonowa. Brak jednak wzmianki dotyczącej oryginału, na którym miałby się wzorować tłumacz, a dzieło w bardzo luźny sposób nawiązuje do twórczości Przybyszewskiego. Pozostaje zatem pytanie, czy podpisanie utworu jako zbułgaryzowanego przekładu miało omamić i przyciągnąć potencjalnego czytelnika, czy może też było przygotowaniem bardziej świadomego odbiorcy do gry konwencjami.
Intersemiotic Modernism: Matija Ferlin’s Sad Sam Lucky between Poetry and Its Embodiment
Authors: Rafolt Leo
Published: January 2024

Sad Sam Lucky is a solo performance by the choreographer and performer Matija Ferlin, conceived as part of his ongoing non-dance-like and non-theatrelike conceptual project Sad Sam, which started in January 2004 in Amsterdam, where the first part of this pseudo-durational piece was premiered. Ferlin’s performance Sad Sam Lucky is somewhat specific in the author’s oeuvre, mainly because it assays to become a physical response to the work of the Slovenian avant-garde poet Srečko Kosovel (1904—1926), translating it and transposing it at the same time, in-between languages and dialects (Slovenian, Croatian, Istrian, and/or English), and in-between performative regimes (embodied response and a pseudo-recital). Kosovel’s confessional poetry, i.e. profound, contemporary, tense in its stylistic imagery, and, at the same time, almost revolutionary in its ideas, is therefore being performed as a live matter of language, driven by Ferlin’s main idea — not to do theatre, not to do dance, not to translate, but to trans-body Kosovel’s verses, and his melancholic prophecy, thus creating a form of a highly physical, turbulent and emotional homage to this very unique avant-garde author.
An Approach to the Modernist Tradition: Zrinko Ogresta’s “Washed Out” and its Polish Literary Source
Authors: Gilić Nikica
Published: January 2024

Among many contacts and similarities between Croatian and Polish cinematic and literary modernism, it is quite interesting to note that Zrinko Ogresta adapted the writings of Marek Hłasko in his feature film Washed Out (Isprani). The comparison of Ogresta’s film to the literary source, The Eighth Day of the Week (Ósmy dzień tygodnia), before any extensive discussions of wider context, should ascertain the answer to a more elementary question — how close is the story of Ogresta’s film to its Polish literary inspiration?
Damir Bartol Indoš and Tanja Vrvilo — House of Extreme Music Theatre: Performative Translation of Croatian Neo/Avant-garde
Authors: Marjanić Suzana
Published: January 2024

DB Indoš and Tanja Vrvilo — House of Extreme Music Theater work with material from the Croatian historical avant-garde scene in all their performances of exhausting, physical theater, which they approached through the Zagreb circle of zenithists, “through Kamov and Čerina as predecessors of the Futurists (but not the Marinettists), and their influence on the literary-revolutionary circle of rebellious youth. Some of them included August Cesarec, Đuka Cvijić, Zora Ruklić and members of their ‘Republic of Stenjevac’, members of the Zagreb group Zenit, the lyrics of a visionary film through the books of Ivan Martinac, concrete poetry by Josip Stošić and the silent art that we ‘shachtophonize’ for our parallel performance canon” (Vrvilo 2020). Their systematic work on the performance and reactualization of the neo/avant-garde can be defined, by using Roman Jakobson’s definition, by intersemiotic translations (cf. Munday, Ramos Pinto, Blakesley 2022: 9) into musical theater which, in their example, is based on manipulating sound objects/installations/sculptures with the cut-up technique of original texts into schachtophone scores (moving away from music notation to graphic notation) for schachtophone music, all through the vision of the performance of exhausting (physical) theater with Indoš’s constant dedication to Artaud’s theater of cruelty, the alchemical theater of pre-logic and pre-rationality, a theater that, as a magical ritual, can lead to the healing of society.

Published: January 2024

Osteosarcoma is a primary bone malignancy of mesenchymal origin. The prevalence of osteosarcoma in Indonesia is not known with certainty. Studies have shown that Paget disease, electrical burns, trauma, beryllium exposure, exposure to alkylating agents, FBJ virus, osteo-chondromatosis, enchondromatosis, fibrous dysplasia, orthopedic prostheses, and bone fractures have been associated with the occurrence of osteosarcoma. Survival rates are expected to improve with treatment consisting of a combination or one of recently developed surgical resection,chemotherapy, and targeted immunotherapy.
An Update of Tuberculosis Spondylitis and The Holistic Management by Subroto Sapardan Total Treatment: Literature Review Study
Authors: Ipang Fachrisal , Ramang Didi Saputra
Published: January 2024

Tuberculosis spondylitis or Pott disease is a pathological condition that is caused by infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and manifests a combination of osteomyelitis and arthritis that usually involves more than one vertebrae. It has recently shown a significant resurgence in developed nations secondary to global migration.

Authors: Sauerman Jan , Isbahi Muhammad Baiqun
Published: January 2024

Is there a correlation between reciprocal workers and higher returns to employer-sponsored training? The study employed a field experiment that utilized random assignment to training, along with the collection of survey data on workers' reciprocal tendencies. The findings of the study indicate that workers who exhibit reciprocal behavior are more likely to reciprocate their employers’ expenditures in training by demonstrating higher levels of performance after completing the training program. The findings of this study remain consistent even after accounting for observed personality traits and worker-fixed effects. These results indicate that individuals respond to the firm's investment in human capital by exerting greater effort, aligning with theoretical models that propose a reciprocal relationship between gift exchange in the workplace. This discovery offers an alternate justification for corporate training investments, notwithstanding the potential danger of employee poaching.
