Training and employee productivity of selected insurance: Perspectives for the board of directors
Authors: Adebowale Sunday , Adefulu Adesoga
Published: November 2019

Employees are a vital resource for organisations. Their collective performance could determine productivity, growth and survival of organisations. Globally, employee productivity has become a subject of intense research. Studies in literature reported inconsistent findings of relationship between training and employee productivity. Employee productivity (efficiency, quality of work and timeliness of work) is perceived to be low probably due to inadequate training (on the job training, skill development, resilience and career success) of the employees. This paper, therefore, examined the relationship between training and employee productivity of selected insurance companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. The authors used survey research method. The population of study was 1527 employees in 8 selected insurance companies from which sample of 560 was selected using stratified sampling technique. The paper used questionnaire as research instrument validated through face and contents validity tests with Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficients ranged from 0.62 to 0.84 for various constructs used. The authors analysed data using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study disclosed a moderate positive relationship between training and employee productivity with a correlation coefficient r (501) = 0.542, p < 0.05. Findings of the paper supported Board of directors’ investment decision in personnel development, employees’ skills, and attitude that enhanced productivity. The study concluded that training was essential for employee productivity.
Effect of micronutrient foliar application on morphology, yield and iron and zinc grain concentration of durum wheat genotypes
Authors: Shiri Manochehr , Mehraban Asghar , Tobe Ahmad
Published: November 2019

Durum wheat has a comparative adaptive advantage over bread wheat under hot
and dry conditions. Accordingly, it feeds millions of people in the Middle
East and North Africa. Under these conditions, the deficiency of nutrients,
including micronutrients, is a major concern for many reasons, including
calcareous soil under drought stress conditions. Therefore, growth, yield,
iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) concentration in durum wheat cultivar grains were
investigated. A factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block
design with three replications was conducted in the Dryland Agricultural
Research Institute (DARI) - Moghan. The first factor comprised spraying at
four levels, including the control and foliar spraying with Fe, Zn, and
Fe+Zn and the second factor consisted of genotypes at four levels: Dehdasht
(G1), Seymareh (G2), and two new genotypes (G3 and G4). Solutions of Fe and
Zn fertilizers were sprayed at the tillering, early ear emergence, and milk
stages, with a ratio of 2 and 1.5 g fertilizer/1000 ml solution (W/V),
respectively. The results showed that genotypes G1, G3 and G4 produced
higher grain yield per square meter than G2. This increase was due to the
higher weight of 1000 grains in G3 and G4 genotypes and 1000-grain weight
with a higher grain number in G1. G1 and G2 had greater spike length, number
of grains per spike and spikelet than G3 and G4 genotypes. In all studied
traits, except Fe and Zn concentration, the combination of Fe+Zn showed the
highest and control had the lowest performance. Also, the application of Zn
was superior to Fe. The highest Fe concentration of G1, G2, G3, and G4 was
observed at Fe+Zn, control, Zn, and Fe levels, respectively. The highest Zn
concentrations were observed in the G3 genotype when only Zn was used or in
combination with Fe. According to the results, the Fe and Zn spray
application increased durum wheat yield on Fe and Zn deficient soil.
Changes in microbial biomass and grain yield of rice varieties in response to the alternate wet and dry water regime in the inland valley of derived savanna
Authors: Soretire Adeniyi , Sakariyawo Olalekan , Yewande Oyinkansola , Adesodun John , Akintokun Aderonke , Soremi Paul , Aderibigbe Sunday
Published: November 2019

This investigation tested the hypothesis that the alternate wet and dry (AWD)
water regime would increase soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial
biomass nitrogen (MBN) and microbial count. Variations in MBC, MBN and grain
yield could be due to varietal differences in a derived savanna. Experiments
(both pot and field ones) were conducted at the Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta (Latitude 7? 12? to 7? 20? N and Longitude 3? 20? to
3? 28? E), Nigeria in 2015. In both trials, the treatments consisted of
water regimes (continuous flooding [control] and AWD imposed on lowland rice
varieties [NERICA?L-19])and Ofada [local check] at the vegetative growth
stage in three cycles. The design in both trials was a completely randomised
and randomised complete block design for the pot and field experiments
respectively, with three replicates. In the screen house, MBC and MBN were
significantly higher in AWD than in continuously flooded soil, especially at
the beginning of the AWD cycles. This could have caused nutrient pulses to
sustain the improved performance of lowland rice under AWD. A converse
pattern was observed in the field in the third cycle. Ofada rice had a
significantly higher microbial count and MBC (cycle 1) than NERICA L-19,
however, a converse pattern was observed in MBC (cycles 2 and 3) and MBN
(cycle 1). Composition of their rhizodeposition and timing of cycles could
explain the observed varietal differences in MBC and MBN.
What impact does the adoption of drought-tolerant maize for Africa have on the yield and poverty status of farmers in the arid region of Nigeria?
Authors: Obayelu Oluwakemi , Fakolujo Oluwatomi , Awotide Bola
Published: November 2019

Maize production in Nigeria has not been able to meet the needs of people
owing to drought, low productivity and lack of access to improved varieties
by the farmers. Increased agricultural yield is a potential means for
increasing household income, which tends to lower the poverty status of
small-holder farmers. This study assessed the impact of Drought-Tolerant
Maize for Africa (DTMA) on the yield and poverty status of farmers in the
northwestern region of Nigeria. The study used the dataset from Adoption of
DTMA Survey by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA),
Ibadan, with 293 respondents from northwestern Nigeria (90 adopters and 203
non-adopters of DTMA). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics,
binary regression and propensity score matching methods. Results showed that
small-holder farmers were more likely to adopt DTMA than bigger farms.
Adopters had an increase in DTMA yield of 9,262.77kg/ha while the
counterfactual non-adopters had an increase of 3,807.74kg/ha. The adoption
of DTMA reduced the probability of being poor by 60 percent for the
treatment group while poverty incidence was reduced by 35% among the
non-adopters. The general conclusion is that DTMA adoption program improved
maize yield and reduced poverty incidence among rural households.
The localization of electoral volatility: Evidence from Serbia and Croatia
Authors: Tomasevic Aleksandar , Sokolovska Valentina
Published: November 2019

This study introduces a novel methodology for measuring, exploring and
describing the pro cesses of party nationalization and localization. The key
component of this approach is using electoral volatility as a baseline
measure for computing party localization indices. For the purposes of this
study, conventional definition of localization as non-uniform territorial
political response (Caramani, 2004) is redefined as non-uniform, but
spatially contingent responses of territorial units to national political
forces. Using network analysis, the authors introduce quantitative approach
for studying spatial and dynamical aspects of party systems and demonstrate
its usefulness and applicability in cases of two post-communist systems:
Serbia and Croatia. The results demonstrate that different components of
party systems (new versus stable parties) exhibit different levels of
nationalization and localization, which has been overlooked in previous
studies. In line with previous research (Bochsler, 2010c; Golosov, 2016;
Schakel, 2017), this study confirms that the Croatian party system is less
nationalized than Serbian, but there are some similarities between the two
countries in terms of the distribution of electoral volatility. In the
discussion part of the study, limitations of new methodology are explained
and directions for its further development are outlined.

Authors: KARAGUN Ebru
Published: November 2019

Aim-Objectives: Vitiligo is an acquired idiopathic disease which progresses with melanocyte destruction and is clinically characterized by depigmented lesions of unknown etiology. Vitiligo may be coexistence with a autoimmune and endocrine disorders. This study examined the sT3, fT4, TSH, Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg, Vitamin B12 and fasting blood glucose (FBG) values, and thrombocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(TLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), the mean platelet volume(MPV) the correlation of depigmented lesions with the extent of body involvement sites(IS). Materials and Method: The study enrolled 67 patients aged 0‒65 who were diagnosed with non-segmental generalized vitiligo and in whom an increase in lesions had been observed in the last six months. The IS of the lesions in the patients were evaluated as IS ˂10%(1st group), 10%‒20% (2nd group), 20% - 30%(3rd group), 30% - 40%(4th group), 40% ‒50 %(5th group), and ˃50%(6th group). The control group consisted of patients who had presented to the outpatient clinic having had no history of vitiligo detected in themselves nor in their families. Results: No significant correlation was found between IS and sT3, fT4, TSH, Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg, Vit. B12, PBG or MPV. A moderately positive correlation was found between IS and duration (p <0.05) and a mildly positive correlation between IS and NLR and TLR (p <0.05). Conclusion: This study show that every patient diagnosed with vitiligo, independent of the IS, should undergo examination for autoimmune disease. A mild positive correlation between VTA and NLO-TLO was found to be an indicator of increased inflammation in vitiligo patients as the extent of lesions increased.

Published: November 2019

The presented article is aimed at elaborating the problem of specific stylistic coloring achieved by the employment of the Cockney dialect in English literature in the 19th century. The main objective of the paper consists in investigating the stylistic value of the Cockney rhymed dialect as the powerful expressive means in the English literature of realism as well as the possible ways of its rendering in artistic translation. The results of the carried-out research have proved that there exist common strategies and techniques of both employing Cockney in English literature of the given period and reproducing it in literary interpretations. The practical value of the research lies in the fact that the conclusions may be applied in the educational activity, namely in the course of English stylistics.
The urgency of this paper arises from the need for all-sided review of difficulties of translating belles-lettres works in contemporary translation studies. The object of the work is a Cockney dialect viewed in the aspect of its translatability. The subject is the specific stylistic function of Cockney dialect in B. Shaw's play. The immediate tasks of the article have been predetermined by the above-mentioned objective and include respectively: the disclosure of the specifics of Cockney dialect; the outline of the strategies and tactics of translating Cockney in belles-lettres works.
The methodology of this research involved the inductive and deductive methods, the method of contrastive analysis and ethnic methodological conversation analysis. In the course of the research it has been concluded and experimentally and statistically proved that there exist common strategies and tactics of translating Cockney. It has also been postulated that the pragmatic and the expressive potential of Cockney is rendered in translation.
The perspective is seen in reviewing the peculiarities of rendering Cockney in literary interpretations in various Western and Oriental languages.
THE ORIGIN OF THE SWEDES
(HISTORICAL-LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE ETHNOS)
Authors: Taranets Valentyn , Shkvorchenko Nataliia , Peresada Ihor
Published: November 2019

The article is dedicated to the problem of the origin of the Swedes tribe against the background of Indo-European ethnogenesis in comparison with the Rus tribe, which were formed on the basis of territorial and pagan proximity to a relatively single ethnic group and a super-language (koine) on the Don. The study is based on the mythological material of the Ynglinga saga and the Book of Veles, lexicographic, toponymic features of the indicated tribes, in which the roots of the ethnic groups stand out. The latter is confirmed in Finnish names regarding the country of Sweden, which the Finns call Ruotsi, Ruossi, Ruohti, Ruotti, the Votes – Rôtsi, the Estonians – Rôťs, on the other hand, the name of the country Sweden has the ancient forms of Swes, Sues, Swēorice “Kingdom of the Swedes” and modern with the meaning “Sweden”: Icelandic Svíþjóð, Swedish Sverige. The origin of the Slavic and German ethnic groups occurred during the period of cohabitation of these peoples in the Indo-European proto-ethnics on the banks of the Don River, approximately in the second millennium BC.
These origins include the origin of Indo-European root of kweruki, which the names of the ethnic groups are evolved from: * kweruχi (palatalization)> rusi> rusy “Rus” and * kwеruki ~ * ruti (substitution)> fin. ruotsi “swedes”. The Indo-European root of *kwa in the meaning of “Universe, God” is the origin of Germanic *sve- / swe-, which gave birth to the names of Suionen (Tacitus), Swēorice “Kingdom of the Swedes” and Swerikl, Swealand, Swithiod, as well as Latin Svedia, Svecia, Sveonia with the meaning “Sweden”.
The above is proved by the presence of the common goddess Mother-SVA (Slavs) and Moder Svea (Swedes).
THE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF EMOTIONS AND AXIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS IN SLAVONIC PROVERBS AND IDIOMS: FROM CONSCIENCE TO ENVY
Authors: Tyshchenko Oleh
Published: November 2019

The presented research reveals imagery-metaphoric and phraseological objectivities of the conceptual spheres Soul, Consciousness, Envy, Jealousy and Greed in Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Czech and Slovak languages and conceptual picture of the world (first of all in proverbs and sayings, idioms, imagery means of secondary nomination both in standard language and its regional or dialectal variants) according to the indication of holistic characteristic and semantic intersection of these concepts. It describes the spheres of their typological coincidence and differences from the point of imagery motivation. It defines the symbolic functions of these ethno cultural concepts (object sphere) with respect to the specificity of manifestation of Envy in archaic texts, believes, in the language of traditional folk culture and archaic expressions with religious sense that reach Christian ideology, ideas of moral purity and dirt, Body and Soul. It has been defined the collocations with the components envy and jealousy in some thesauri and dictionaries in terms of the specificity of interlingual equivalence and expressions of envy and similar negative emotions and their functioning in the Ukrainian and English text corpora.
The analysis demonstrated that practically in all compared languages and linguistic cultures Envy is associated with greed and jealousy, psychic disorders with a corresponding complex of feelings, expressed by metaphoric predicates of destruction and remorse that encode the moral and legal aspect of conscience (conscience is a judge, witness and executioner). Metaphor of Envy containing nominations of colours differ in the Slavonic and Germanic languages whereas those denoting spatial, gustatory, odour, acoustic and parametrical meaning are similar. Many imagery contexts of Envy correlate with such conceptual oppositions as richness and poverty, light and darkness; success is associated with the frames “foreign is better than domestic” where Envy encodes the meaning of encroachment upon another's property, “envy is better than sympathy”, “envy dominates where there are richness, success, welfare, happiness” which confirms the ideas of representatives in the field of psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology and sociology. In some languages the motives of black magic, evil eye (in Polish, Ukrainian and Russian) are rooted in the sphere of folk believes and invocations, as well as cultural anthroponyms.
PECULIARITIES OF THE CHARACTER’S INDIVIDUAL LEXICON OF THE LITERARY TEXT
Authors: Shapoval Anna , Velitchenko Leonid
Published: November 2019

Learning the character's linguistic personality is impossible without exploring its individual vocabulary. The study was based on the novels Pearl Buck "Imperial woman" and Pavlo Zagrebelniy "Roxolana". The main theoretical aspects of the concept of "character’s individual lexicon" are considered in the article. The terms "individual lexicon", "mental lexicon" and "internal lexicon" are specified. The comparative analysis of the individual lexicon of the real linguistic personality and character’s linguistic personality is carried out. The independent value of the character’s individual lexicon is determined. Analysis of the individual lexicon is performed at the morphological and syntactic level.
For both heroines, concepts such as knowledge, hope, children, freedom, greatness (triumph), painting (singing) are most essential. In other cases, Roxolana's priorities are faith, native land, happiness, salvation. For Tzu Hsi - peace, triumph, debt, people.
The individual lexicon of the character is characterized by the distinctive characteristics of the linguistic personality (the closeness of the list of lexical units, statical state of the system). The individual lexicons of the characters share common morphological indicators (nouns and verbs predominate). From the point of view of syntax the prevailing use of direct imperative forms in the communicative acts of the characters has been revealed (order, requirement Tzu Hsi - 48%, Roxolana -35%). In the speech of both characters in the analysis of the affirmative form of imperative is dominated by verbs of movement and auditory perception. Direct imperative forms testify to the highest situational and status position of both ladies. Threat sentences are more typical of Tzu Hsi. Indirect imperative forms (request, offer, advice, persuasion, praise, support and consolation) are dominant in Roxolana’s individual lexicon.
