How Do COVID-19 Job Loss and Workplace Closures Affect COVID-19 Policy Satisfaction and Conspiracy Beliefs?
Authors: Olayinka Akinyemi Ibrahim
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 mobility restrictions, including workplace closures, introduced by national governments led to disruption of social and economic life including job loss. With the job loss, the victims may encounter social and economic threats which can prompt them to show less support for the government that introduced the workplace closures which led to their job loss. Thus, this study investigates whether job loss resulting from COVID-19 prompts COVID-19 anti-cohesive attitudes (dissatisfaction with government’s response to COVID-19, and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs) in Europe; and whether strictness of workplace closures moderates the first proposition. The focus is on Europe because the degree of job loss and workplace closures vary between countries. With some COVID-19 items from the round 10 data of the European Social Survey conducted between 2021 and 2023, and independent context indices, the propositions are tested using a mixed model having about 142 groups and 25000 observations. The model formula has COVID-19 anti-cohesive attitudes as the response variable, COVID-19 job loss as the predictor variable at individual level, while COVID-19 workplace closures is the context variable. The findings support the hypotheses: COVID-19 job losers (compared to COVID-19 job keepers) are about 20percent more likely to show anti-cohesive attitudes; also, COVID-19 anti-cohesive attitudes are more predominant among COVID-19 job losers where workplace closures are very strict compared to where workplace closures are low. These findings are useful for policy makers in future pandemic management. Also, scientists may find the results useful for research on socioeconomic threats, public policy and cohesive attitudes.
Leadership Competencies of Pharmacists in the Manufacturing Sector of the Pharmaceutical Industry
Authors: Nyeleti Mayimele Nsovo , Hulisani Demana Patrick , Godfrey Keele Mothobi
Published: July 2024

Pharmacists are the main professionals in the pharmaceutical industry as they take responsibility for the medicines that are produced and managed within the industry. Manufacturing pharmaceutical companies (MPCs) make use of the skills of pharmacists for technical functions as most countries require the presence of pharmacists for regulatory compliance purposes. The roles that pharmacists can play in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company extend beyond the technical levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the leadership competencies of pharmacists in the manufacturing sector of the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa. A Leadership Competency Self-assessment Tool (LCSAT) with five (5) domains was used to determine the competencies relating to the functions of a pharmacist in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company. The domains included professionalism, pharmacy and healthcare environment, leadership, business skills, communication and relationships. The Leadership Competency Self-assessment Tool was administered to pharmacists who are members of a professional association for pharmacists who work in the pharmaceutical industry of South Africa. The association had 567 members who received the online questionnaire over two cycles. Responses were received from 84 pharmacists (15%) with only 62 (10.9%) responses that were complete and therefore formed the sample for the study. The pharmacists rated themselves as highly competent in the domain of pharmacy and healthcare environment (77,76%) and the lowest in the domain for business skills (64,83%). The role of pharmacists in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company is diverse and should not be limited to the technical functions, for the benefit of their patients. Pharmacists should be responsible for roles beyond the operational aspects of the companies in the pharmaceutical industry. They should be actively involved in roles such as promoting the pharmaceuticals their companies produce and strategic functions. To succeed, pharmacists must develop business competencies that will enable them to have business confidence and facilitate visibility while, engaging more corporate roles to boost revenue for their companies. Many pharmacists hold technical positions that see them overseeing manufacturing functions and responsible for manufacturing tasks. Effective communication and business skills to enable them to thrive in roles of strategic leadership are essential. A diversity of competencies for the pharmaceutical industry will increase the value of pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry.
Exploring Team Collaboration in the New Metaverse (The 3D-AI Internet)
Authors: Gonzalez Nuñez Javier , Bolognesi Manuel
Published: July 2024

This study explores the anticipated changes in team collaboration driven by the rise of AI-reliant businesses in the metaverse. The research is motivated by the rapid technological advancements and increasing interest from major tech companies in creating shared virtual environments for distributed teams. The main objective is to investigate how team collaboration will evolve in this new context, providing insights for future metaverse team members and leaders. The qualitative study employs semi-structured, in-depth interviews in January-February 2022 with team members from the virtual world of Second Life, focusing on payment satisfaction, globalized team culture, training and learning, and fictional identities. This research period is contemporary, reflecting current trends and capabilities. The primary methods include thematic analysis of interview data to identify emerging patterns. Data is analyzed using “Dedoose”, a web application for mixed methods research, and collected in several codes and subcodes that will eventually form a “code tree”. Descriptive validity, interpretative validity, theoretical validity and generalizable validity were confirmed. Key findings reveal that metaverse-native teams need innovative payment methods and a focus on authentic self-expression. A globalized team culture will require balancing work and social life in virtual environments, with Corporate Social Responsibility being vital to attracting Generation Alpha. Payment satisfaction will shift towards fulfilment and unique experiences rather than just financial security, and businesses should explore alternative payment methods beyond cryptocurrency. Fictional identities will necessitate building metaverse-specific reputations for professionalism and trust. Training and learning will connect virtual and real-life scenarios, enhancing skills and quality. The study confirms that traditional collaboration models may only partially apply in augmented virtuality. These results have practical significance for businesses and professionals preparing to operate in the metaverse, offering a foundation for future research and development in virtual team collaboration.

Published: July 2024

Studies on General English topics that are pertinent to Generation Z are scarce, particularly in Indonesia. This study, thus, intends to examine the framework of questions on what the relevant general English topics are for Generation Z English learners. The census was implemented with quantitative-descriptive as an approach for this investigation. Additionally, this study used an online questionnaire shared using Google Forms to 680 first-year students out of 1560 targeted participants to collect data. The final statistics of this study were displayed by dividing the total number of responses into percentages using Microsoft Excel 2010. The findings of this analysis revealed that the topics of Introduction and Daily Activity were the most popular topics. Giving directions is also the least interesting subject, followed by describing places, procedural text, and reviews of popular tourist destinations. These topics are disliked for a variety of reasons, such as confusion, trouble understanding the language, limited vocabulary, beginner-level skills. Furthermore, the majority of the participants thought the topics of Introduction, Daily Activity, and Procedural Text (What to Need) were quite relevant. The reviews of tourist destinations and Living abroad, on the other hand, scored lower for relevancy. The results imply that Generation Z English learners favor subjects that are simple to study, have practical uses, and use basic, everyday language. Based upon the investigation, exploring potential strategies or approaches that could make these topics more engaging and relevant to Generation Z learners could also be explored in future research.
Model/City: Architectural Models and the Aesthetics of Playfulness
Authors: Kopitz Linda
Published: July 2024

Between wooden blocks and miniature trees, open spaces and shared pathways, the architectural model of Sloterdijk (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) constructs a vision of green and collective living, which contrasts the lived reality of a neighborhood undergoing a rapid transformation from a largely industrial area to a ‘desirable’ urban neighborhood marked by luxury residential buildings. Architectural models are situated at a point of in-between, simultaneously charged with planning, representing, legitimizing, and – maybe most importantly – imagining an urban future. This article takes this special issue’s call to ‘deconstruct gentrification’ literally by focusing on the material construction of better green urban futures through architectural models. Simultaneously referencing and abstracting the (proposed) construction sites, I argue that recent architectural models for three (re)developments in Amsterdam – Sloterdijk, Zuidas, and Bajeskwartier – draw on an aesthetic of playfulness to counter criticism raised against the gentrifying effects of ‘sustainable’ urban planning.
Capturing Gentrification: The Roles of Charles Marville and Eugène Atget in Capturing the Transformation of Paris in the Nineteenth Century
Authors: Samwel Sigi
Published: July 2024

Between 1853 and 1914, Paris (France), ‘the city of art’, underwent enormous changes due to the urban development plans of Baron Georges Haussmann. Although gentrification was coined in the 1960s by Ruth Glass, this Haussmannization’ of Paris shows multiple convincing similarities with contemporary forms of gentrification. Artists have been ascribed a rather ambivalent role in the gentrification process, as their presence in old, decayed, abandoned, or low-income neighborhoods was and is often seen as the first step towards gentrification. However, artists have also used their art to reflect on or even question gentrification. Especially photographers, whose discipline allows them to consciously curate and depict real life situations, have played an important role in capturing gentrification and its ramifications. Photographer Charles Marville (1813-1879) was commissioned by the state to document the neighborhoods that were demolished during the ‘Haussmannization’. Some forty years later, Eugène Atget (1857-1927) began photographing Parisian quarters that would be lost in urban planning. In this visual essay, the agency of photographers in (de)constructing gentrification is researched through an analysis of the work of Marville and Atget, discussing their objectives and styles and how these reflect the radical changes in Paris. The motivation of photographers seems to determine in what way their works represent gentrifying processes.
Stadtschmerz: Stories of Loss and Guilt in Times of Gentrification
Authors: Klerk Marianne
Published: July 2024

This essay detects a genre of non-fiction, which it coins as Stadtschmerz. In this genre, middle class residents who experience alienation due to gentrification turn this experience into stories of loss and guilt (for being the target group of gentrification). This essay explores four canonical texts of Stadtschmerz from the mid-19th century to the present; the authors explore the gentrifying city as flâneurs and report on their findings in a feuilleton. As such, the essay shows how through expressing Stadtschmerz the middle-class attempts to cope with the making of the middle-class city. In this way, Stadtschmerz neutralizes the positionality of the writer and his readership within processes of gentrification. Furthermore, it offers readers voyeurism into the lives of the displaced lower classes. Lastly, Stadtschmerz processes middle-class anxiety amid gentrification. A deconstructive analysis of Stadtschmerz tells us that the experience of gentrification is above all a hot topic for the middle-class itself.
Decoding the Yield Curve: Understanding its Significance in Economic Forecasting
Authors: I Chirilus Alexandru ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania
Published: July 2024

Throughout history, the Romanian yield curve has assumed various shapes that correspond to differing economic conditions, representing market sentiment and anticipation of future economic activity and interest rates. In times of economic stability and growth, the yield curve has generally exhibited an upward slope, signifying investor trust in continued economic expansion and expectations of future interest rate hikes. In contrast, during periods of economic uncertainty or downturns, the yield curve has often flattened or turned negative. A flattening curve suggests uncertainty about future economic conditions, while an inverted curve, where short-term yields surpass long-term yields, indicates significant economic stress and has traditionally been an accurate predictor of forthcoming recessions. These fluctuations offer essential insights for policymakers and investors, helping in the understanding and anticipation of economic trends and in the effective management of financial risks.

Exploring Political Socialization through the Lens of Giddens' Structuration Theory
Authors: Ibnu Syahrir
Published: July 2024

Socialization is a fundamental process for the dissemination and comprehension of ideas, essential for maintaining and strengthening societal structures. It involves the exchange of values, beliefs, and perspectives, ensuring that these ideas are understood and valued within a community. This process also integrates individuals into social groups, fostering familiarity and acceptance among members. This study explores political socialization through the lens of Anthony Giddens’ Structuration Theory, which emphasizes the duality of structure and agency. By examining the interplay between social structures and individual actions, this research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how political norms and practices are produced and reproduced. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, specifically the Literature Study Method, to trace theoretical details and provide an analytical focus on political socialization and Structuration Theory. The findings highlight that political socialization is a complex process influenced by various agents such as family, education systems, media, and political institutions, which shape individuals' political identities and behaviors. Moreover, Giddens’ Structuration Theory elucidates that social structures both constrain and enable political actions, emphasizing the reciprocal relationship between individuals and their social contexts. This study contributes to our understanding of how political socialization mechanisms contribute to societal stability and change by elucidating how individuals navigate and negotiate political structures through their everyday practices and interactions.

The research aimed to explore the impact of insecurity on mobile banking usage, assessing its effects on accessibility and affordability in Nigeria. Specifically focused on the Niger Delta region, the study sought to uncover insights into the relationship between insecurity and financial inclusion, particularly within the context of mobile banking services.The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, utilizing purposive sampling to collect data from 311 mobile banking operators and users in Nigeria. A specialized questionnaire assessed how insecurity impacts mobile banking services in terms of usage, accessibility, and affordability. Data analysis involved employing ordinary least square model to test research hypotheses.The findings of the study revealed a significant negative relationship between insecurity and the usage, accessibility, and affordability of mobile banking in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The results indicated that as insecurity increases, there is a likelihood of a decrease in the usage and accessibility of mobile banking services. The study also highlighted the impact of insecurity on financial inclusion, particularly in the form of kidnapping, hostage-taking, violence, and other social vices, which have hampered the quality of financial products and the number of financially included individuals in the region.The study identified several gaps in the existing literature on insecurity and financial inclusion in Nigeria. It noted that previous studies often focused solely on financial inclusion, neglecting the influence of insecurity. Additionally, many studies were primarily theoretical   and   qualitative   in   nature, and   some   were   found   to   have methodological and analytical limitations. Furthermore, the research highlighted that this study was the first of its kind to be conducted in the South-south region of Nigeria, indicating an existing gap in the understanding of insecurity and financial inclusion in this specific area.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to elucidate the manner in which the implementation of professional zakat is shaped by religious institutions in Indonesia. Religious institutions, such as the Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, play a significant role in regulating the distribution of zakat. The methodology employed is descriptive-qualitative, which involves conducting interviews and literature studies in order to obtain relevant data. This study identifies a discrepancy in the implementation of professional zakat within the Religious Ministry. The divergence of opinion concerns the interpretation of the law with a view to determining the status of professional zakat. Nevertheless, it can be demonstrated that the polarization does not impede the implementation and distribution to the intended recipients. The divergence of opinion may be attributed to the contrasting methodologies employed by the various parties to interpret and examine the relevant laws in order to ascertain the legal status of professional zakat.

The Origin of the English Language and the Historical Periods of its Development Summary This article illuminates the historical path taken by the development of the English language. The history of the English language is connected with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon tribes. The centuries of invasions, economic and political relations with other states have undergone certain changes in the language. The development of the renaissance period in the Middle Ages also brought innovations to the language. The invention of printing brought to the English language a standard of literary style. Dryden's and Jonathan Swift's desire to perfect the language was partially counterbalanced by Samuel Johnson's Dictionary (1755) and Robert Louth's Grammar (published 1761). Received Standard English is currently an accepted standard of speech in Great Britain. Key words: Anglo-Saxon tribes, ancient English historical periods, ancient English language, dialects of the Middle English period, Renaissance period, "Americanisms", dictionary of modern English, accepted standard English

Substantivization as an Active Process in Modern Azerbaijani Summary This article delas with the study of substantivization, which is evaluated as a result of compression in the language. In the article, substantivization is considered as a method of forming a noun from other parts of speech. According to the author, “substance” is a generally accepted term in linguistics. Substance is one of the main ways of enriching the lexical layer of the language due to the possibilities of intralingual word formation. Reasoning, in a broader sense, is the formation of nouns by transitioning different parts of speech to them.

Negative constructions in a connected text Summary The article examines the use of aspectual forms in negative constructions as a means of organizing a coherent text. In the description, we used the distinction between left- and right-sided multiple connections carried out by various elements of the structure. The state of anticipation is the main component of the described situation. Modal shades of the possibility of action are perceived as an additional semantic component in a minimal context, logically determined by the moment of expectation. We distinguish two types of expected situations: 1) the description of the situation ends with the occurrence (realization of the expected action); 2) the implementation of the expected action does not occur contrary to the objective prerequisites for its implementation. The context conveys the completion of the situation, indicating the fact of the occurrence of the action. The state of prolonged absence of the expected action is conveyed implicitly. The linguistic expression of the described denotative situation may include negative constructions such as не + imperfective aspect. The fact of the occurrence of an event is accompanied by a continuation of the previous state, but when negated, the perfective aspect is used. The actualization of what is behind the negation in the passage − the carrier subtext, the implicit confirmation of the positive content is perceived at the level of the semantic structure of the text as a whole. Key words: text, semantic connection, negation, types of verb, expected action, actualization, context, situation

About Studying Complicated Sentences in Russian as a Foreign Language Classes Summary The article discusses sentences, complicated by isolated of minors members, in the classroom on Russian as a foreign language. Isolated minors members are relatively independent in the sentence and are characterized by intonation emphasis. In most cases, isolated minor members enter into a semi-predicative attitude with the basic of the sentence or with any of its members. An important prerequisite for isolation is the absence of a close syntactic connection between the word form and it’s definable. For this reason, predominantly freely attaching determinants, agreed and adjoining nominal word forms are isolated. The semi-predicative function can be harmonized and non-harmonized definitions, as well as sentences related to personal pronouns. The study of complicated sentences contributes to the development of oral and written speech of Azerbaijani students. Key words: Russian as a foreign language, complicated sentence, separation, semi-predicativeness

Published: July 2024

With the in-depth implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, the optimization of the rural financial service system is particularly critical, which is of great significance in promoting rural economic development and improving the living standards of farmers. At present, the rural economy and the overall economic strength are relatively weak, making it difficult to achieve the goal of promoting rural revitalization comprehensively only through rural finance. Based on this, this paper analyzes the current situation of the rural financial service system and puts forward strategic measures such as strengthening the construction of the service network, innovating financial products and services, and improving the risk prevention and control mechanism. These measures will help to improve the overall efficiency of the rural financial service system, provide strong financial support for rural revitalization, and promote the sustainable development of the rural economy.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: To adapt and validate the Evaluation of the Ability to Sing Easily (EASE) to the European Portuguese language; to compare scores according to singing style, voice use, and demography variables; to conduct psychometric tests.
Methods: A five-step approach was adopted to ensure the cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument including forward translation, backward translation, committee opinions, and pilot testing.
Results: The pilot test was conducted with ten singers, which determined the reformulation of seven items, thereby, allowing the formulation of the final form. The EASE-PT was completed by 120 singers, age range 18–72 and 58.3% were female. Median results were significantly higher for Choir singers except for one item where the median was significantly higher for Fado singers. High internal consistency was obtained, Cronbach’s alpha > 0.80 for EASE scale for both Fado and Choir singers, and its sub scales were close to or exceeded 0.80.
Conclusion: EASE-PT may be considered a reliable tool to apply in the case of Portuguese singers as the outcome supports the ability of EASE-PT to measure the same constructs in a way similar to that of the original version.

Published: July 2024

This study describes the synthesis of cadmium sulfide (CdS) modified through green synthesis and doped with oxygen (CdS-O), followed by testing its effectiveness in ciprofloxacin photocatalytic degradation. Green synthesis using tea powder produces smaller CdS particles. Green synthesis using tea powder resulted in smaller particles and oxygen doping, helping to reduce the band gap and increasing its effectiveness in the photodegradation of ciprofloxacin. The synthesized CdS and CdS-O characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDS, and UV-DRS. FTIR and XRD characterization confirmed the formation of CdS. SEM analysis revealed that CdS particles have a smooth, spherical surface, while CdS-O particles exhibit a coral-like structure. Oxygen doping reduced the band gap of CdS from 2.37 eV to 2.35 eV. The Ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation results showed that CdS-O achieved a better degradation effect than CdS, with a degradation percentage reaching 58.5%. This highlights the development potential of CdS green synthesis methods and modified enhanced photocatalytic properties for wastewater treatment.
