Authors: Youssef Adel Ben , Dahmani Mounir , Zeqiri Adelina
Published: September 2021

Increasingly, e-skills are required to enable effective use of digital technologies. The present paper examines the influence of e-skills on use of e-services in the hospitality industry. We employ a conditional mixed-process approach and the results of a residential survey in Kosovo to investigate whether e-skills boost e-services in hospitality. Our findings suggest that e-skills are important to explain different behaviors related to use of e-services. The facilitating conditions, expected performance, social influences and perceived value of the services have a positive impact while perceived risks to privacy have a negative impact on behavioral intention. We also find that gender and income have a positive effect on both behavioral use and behavioral intention while age has no effect on either dimension.

Kết quả cho thấy, tồn tại một mối quan hệ đồng tích hợp trong dài hạn giữa thuế và FDI. Ngoài ra, khả năng có thể có của mối quan hệ nhân quả được phân tích giữa các biến bằng cách sử dụng kiểm định nhân quả được phát triển bởi  Dumitrescu và Hurlin (2012). Kết quả phân tích cho thấy mối quan hệ nhân quả hai chiều giữa thuế và đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài. Trên cơ sở đó, nghiên cứu đưa ra một số gợi ý cho chính sách thuế đối với FDI tại các quốc gia này.
The Relationship between Communication Skills and Career Awareness: An Example of Sports Sciences Faculty Students
Authors: Çakır Veli Ozan
Published: September 2021

The main aim of the research was to determine the relationship between communication skills and career awareness of individuals studying at the faculty of sports sciences. This study was performed according to the relational screening model. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 386 students, 215 males and 171 females, studying at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Sports Sciences. In addition to the personal information form in the research, the “Communication Skills Evaluation Scale (CSES)” was developed by Korkut (1996) and the “Career Awareness Scale (CAS)” was developed by Yaşar and Sunay (2019) were used as data collection tools. It was accepted that the research data showed a normal distribution according to the skewness and kurtosis values. After the research data showed normal distribution, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test were applied in the analysis. In the research results, no significant difference was found between the communication skills of Sport Sciences students according to their gender and grade levels. However, a significant difference was determined between the sub-dimensions of career awareness according to the variables of individuals’ gender and class. As a result of the research, a positive moderate relationship was determined between communication skills and career awareness. Considering that as the communication skills of the students studying at the faculty of sports sciences increase, their career awareness will increase, it is recommended that more studies be conducted to increase the communication skills of the students.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for initial valueproblems of nonlinear hybrid first order Caputo fractionalintegro-differential equations. The main tool employed here is theKrasnoselskii and Banach fixed point theorems. An example is also given toillustrate the main results. In addition, the case of the Higher orderCaputo fractional integro-differential equations is studied.

This corpus-based comparative study was about morphemic derivational patterns in grammatical categories: adjective, noun and verbs in different varieties: English as native language (ENL), English as second language (ESL), and English as foreign language (EFL). This study was done on data collected from ICNALE in which learners’ data from three different varieties of English was compared. The data was tagged through CLAWS tagger and analyzed through AntConc software. In result of analysis, the frequency-based differences in the morphemic derivational patterns were observed after normalizing the data. Such differences across varieties in morphemic patterns were realized through the existence and absence of derivational morphemes. The results showed that the native speakers have higher ability of using a greater number of morphemic patterns than second and foreign language speakers of English. Due to their native like competence, they are more competent is the usage of morphemic derivational patterns. Those distinctive patterns should also be taken as pedagogical implication for second and foreign language learners of English. It can also be helpful for second and foreign language learners in achieving native like ability to use English language.

Due to the current massive pandemic situation, global educational systems have, by necessity, shifted from in-person to virtual learning. As a result, this newfangled educational paradigm has changed the conception of teaching and learning from a rigid process to a novel environment where new rules and objectives are set. In the present context, this research paper is intended to discuss the contemporary educational prototype as an alternative to traditional face-to-face instruction in order to accomplish quality learning and rescue the academic year from a doomed failure. In this regard, this study relies on a quantitative and qualitative research analysis, based on questionnaires designated to teachers and students of the National School of Applied Sciences of Tétouan (ENSATE) at Abdelmalek Essaâdi University to reflect upon their experiences, insights, and perceptions of distance education with respect to teaching materials, content, and syllabus delivery. The aim, therefore, is to disclose the variant challenges that are being encountered by the aforementioned students and teachers, including their attitudes toward e-learning course content and pedagogy. It is equally important to pinpoint the different possible strategies and policies that ought to be adopted by education policy makers to perfectly meet the novice learning/teaching needs and aspirations.
The Word gid in Najdi Arabic: An Evidentiality Head

This research paper investigates the word gid which is used in Najdi Arabic, a dialect spoken in Najd region in Arabic peninsula. This particle is analyzed syntactically using the recent assumptions of the minimalist program (Chomsky 1993, 1995, and subsequent work). As for the findings, it turns out that gid functions as a head that instantiates its maximal projection above TP and under CP. So, this word is not a property of TP domain nor a CP domain. Due to the fact that this word is only used when a speaker is certain of the propositional content of his/her utterance, we argue that gid is an evidential head that scopes over the tense layer. Furthermore, we argue that gid has an EPP feature, hence the specifier position of the functional phases headed by it must be filled by some element which is the subject. This accounts for the fact that subject must precede gid in declarative sentences. Additionally, gid has [PAST] feature which is uninterpretable and hence must be deleted before the derivation is handed over to the LF following the general lines of feature deletion of Chomsky (1995 and 2005). We argue that the deletion of [PAST] feature is conducted through an Agree operation that is established between gid and the verb. This is why gid comes exclusively with past tense. Otherwise [PAST] feature on gid remains active, leading to the ungrammaticality of the given sentence.
