Authors: ERUDE Shalom Ufuoma , OKEREKA Onofere Princewill
Published: June 2024

Hitherto, studies on democracy and party politics have directed more attention at inter-party
wranglings across various levels of the Nigerian State. This study seeks to examine the nature, patterns and
variables perceived to be responsible for conflicts within various political parties involved in the
electioneering process. This study adopted the historical research design reflective of the qualitative nature
of the study. The game theory and conflict theory were combined to examine the variables. Our findings show
that, political parties determining the leadership pattern in Nigeria, internal conflict in political parties is an
inevitability, intra-party conflicts occurs when the constitution of the party is not followed or there is a bias,
when the interest of certain groups are not met, when the standard bearer is not sellable cum generally
accepted, etcetera. We recommended that, zoning formula should be maintained, the runner-up in the
primaries be given the leverage to choose who becomes the vice-president, and one of the major determinants
to become a party's standard bearer, is a minimum of two years membership to align with party's ethos and
etcetera. Our work would be the most recent that suggests a pragmatic approach to managing the internal
politics in the party. Moreso, it is going to be a very rich and useful material for subsequent research of
similar interests.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMERCIAL STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN NAMIBIA
Authors: MEAMENO Johannes , SHEEFENI Johannes P S
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of capital structure on the performance of commercial stateowned enterprises (SOEs) in Namibia using panel data modelling techniques on data from 2011 to 2020. The
research extends performance measures and leverage measures employed by previous studies, utilizing total
liabilities to total assets (TLTA) and total equity to total assets (TETA) to examine the effects of debt
structures on corporate finance. The study employs return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) as
performance measures. The findings reveal no significant relationship between capital structure and
profitability of commercial SOEs in Namibia, thus supporting the irrelevance theory. Additionally, a
unidirectional causality is found between capital structure and profitability measures. The study's
implications suggest that high debt levels should be reduced to optimize capital structure and that policies
should be implemented to enhance SOE performance through innovation and best practices. The findings
contribute to the ongoing debate on public sector reforms and provide a basis for further research in this
area.
MENTORING PRACTICE IN THE FOURTH INDUSTRY REVOLUTION: A SOUTH AFRICAN EXPERIENCE
Authors: RAMHURRY Runash
Published: June 2024

In the absence of face-to-face mentoring, the study investigates the difficulties newly hired
academics have assimilating into a Higher Education Institution (HEI), a university in Johannesburg, and
how electronic mentoring strategies promote these newcomers' social learning. The study used an
interpretivist paradigm with discourse-oriented interviews as the main data collection instrument to collect
data from 20 recently hired academic staff members who were in their first two years of their academic
careers at a South African university. The study found that by utilizing resources from the fourth industrial
revolution (4IR), such as YouTube, Ted Talks, and WhatsApp, to improve their social learning, novices were
able to smoothly make the move into academia. The study suggests that educational institutions investigate
conceptual issues related to electronic mentoring and its advantages for and its benefits for both the
institution and the newly appointed lecturers. In addition to promoting decolonisation and creating a more
inclusive and equitable learning environment in the context of higher education in Africa, social media
mentoring offers strategic 4IR tools that have the potential to expand and enhance mentoring practices at
institutions. Because social learning could close the digital gap and facilitate newcomers' integration into
academia, it holds significant implications for higher education in Africa.
PROFESSIONALISATION AS A TOOL TO STABILISE PUBLIC FINANCES: SOUTH AFRICAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: THUSI Xolani , MATYANA Mandisi
Published: June 2024

Local government is closer to the citizens and serves as a vehicle for democracy and service
delivery in South Africa. Municipalities in South Africa face a significant challenge when it comes to
managing public finances to provide effective and efficient services. Corruption, financial mismanagement,
wasteful and fruitless expenditure, irregular expenditures, governance failure, lack of consequence,
management, insufficient skills, and capacity are among the challenges. These factors have delivered an
enormous setback to service delivery, and citizens are bearing the brunt of the burden. The most difficult
situation in local government is that municipalities' finances are deteriorating year after year. According to
the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA), "the audit outcomes were in a poor state at the end of the
previous administration's term, and this state did not improve in 2021-22." It is critical for the local
government sphere to promote financial sustainability because most South African citizens rely on
government services because the economy no longer provides favourable economic benefits such as
employment that citizens can leverage. The goal of this paper is to investigate how professionalising South
African municipal public finances can help to stabilise public funds. The qualitative method was used, which
included a review of secondary sources on the topic at hand.
MOTIVATION FOR CHOOSING THE MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNICIAN PROFESSION
Authors: MARKOVICH Sarit H. Malul , ANDREI Andreia Gabriela
Published: June 2024

The paper presents the context and findings of a study focused on motivational factors affecting
the choice of the medical imaging technician profession. This profession is important around the globe, and
more and more required on the labour market. Still, the supply of imaging technicians is low in many
countries, so the waiting time for the tests is unreasonably long. This delays the diagnosis and treatment of
illnesses on time and, undoubtedly, harms the public’s basic right for healthcare services. This study assumes
that there are motivational factors that affect people’s decision to choose, and therefore learn the medical
imaging technician profession. Aiming to understand what are those factors that affect this process of choice,
the study focused on the case of Israel. A questionnaire-based survey was administered to 70 medical imaging
technicians working in the Israeli healthcare system with the view to examine what has motivated them to
choose this profession. The paper presents the empirical results indicating that both intrinsic and extrinsic
motivation are high and have an impact on the process of choice. The findings offer valuable insights that
might help improving the supply of imaging technician profession, and the retention of employees in the
healthcare system.
GOOD GOVERNANCE AND CITIZENS’ WELL-BEING
Authors: EGUGBO Chuks Cletus
Published: June 2024

This paper examined good governance as a panacea for the citizens’ well-being. The well-being of
the citizens is the essence of government. In other words, government exists to ensure the well-being of the
citizens. The well-being of the citizens can only be assured and guaranteed when there is good governance
and reverse would be case in the midst of bad governance. Of all the forms of government, democracy has
the greatest potential to offer good governance because it is people’s government and as such people have
greater opportunity to participate one way or the other in the governance process making it possible for them
to influence decisions that would be to their favor. It therefore means that for good governance to be
enthroned in a polity; the people have great responsibility to bring it about by not being docile but to be
seriously interested in participating in the governance process and system. Secondary method of data
collection was adopted in this paper and analysis of data collected was done through the descriptive method.
The paper found out that bad governance is responsible for the lack of the citizen’s well-being. The
theoretical framework adopted in this paper is structural functionalism. The paper recommended among
other things that for the well-being of the citizens to be guaranteed there should be the encouragement of
good governance by all and sundry

Sports and Dance in Reconciliation of Binary Oppositions: “Master Harold” ... and the boys (1982) and “Invictus” (2009)
Authors: Şentürk Selçuk
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to critically examine the play Master Harold"… and the boys (1982) and the film “Invictus” (2009) with a focus on their role in reconciling the division between ‘other’ and ‘self’ through sports and dance. Grounded in the scope of postcolonial studies with an interdisciplinary approach, the study benefits from Homi Bhabha’s concept of the Third Space and Gayatri Spivak’s interpretation of the Subaltern as its theoretical frame. The film “Invictus” (2009) is predicated upon the narrative of Nelson Mandela and his endeavour to forge unity among the populace of South Africa, facilitated by the national rugby team known as the Springboks. Within the confines of South Africa, the institutionalized racism known as apartheid had starkly delineated the white Afrikaners from the black populace, who were relegated to a status deemed inferior, devoid of equitable human rights. Athol Fugard’s theatrical piece, "Master Harold"… and the boys (1982), unfolds against the backdrop of 1950s South Africa, where apartheid holds sway, thereby fuelling the binary opposition between white and black, alongside the institutionalized animosity directed towards the latter. Nevertheless, the dynamic between Sam and Willie, two middle-aged black servants, and Hally, their young master, exhibits promise, as they engage in candid dialogue concerning life and ballroom dancing. Clint Eastwood’s cinematic interpretation and Fugard's play both illuminate interstitial spaces that destabilize the binary dichotomy of ‘self' and ‘other’ upon which racial divisions are predicated. The two productions demonstrate that these liminal spaces are cultivated through the mediums of sports and dance, subverting the delineations imposed by such systems and creating a shared national identity. The study concludes that through their ability to transcend barriers and create inclusive spaces, sport and dance serve as powerful tools in reshaping social dynamics.

Published: June 2024

Roland Barthes (2004) designa o estilo como esplendor e prisão do escritor: sua solidão. O presente artigo pretende refletir sobre esta visão barthesiana de estilo na obra do poeta, crítico de arte e tradutor italiano Emilio Villa, a partir de poemas plurilíngues ou traduzidos pelo próprio poeta italiano para o português brasileiro e de algumas de suas obras pictóricas. O conceito de tradução torna-se central para análise da obra de Emilio Villa, através da leitura de Walter Benjamin, Henri Meschonnic e outros teóricos e, também, pelas diversas traduções por ele realizadas: a Odisseia, partes do Gênesis, uma escolha das tabuletas mesopotâmicas. Villa escreveu não unicamente em italiano, mas seu plurilinguismo se confirmou em textos escritos em latim, grego, francês e outras línguas.
Deciphering linguistic and cultural hurdles‎ in ‎English-Arabic media translation: Insights from the BBC ‎online news articles
Authors: Gomaa Yasser Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Media language encompasses literary and ‎scientific elements, technical terminology, and cultural references. Effectively conveying its message to the target audience from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds can be challenging. This highlights some of the subtleties of media language that might add to translation difficulties. Media translation is a complex process, which involves information, knowledge, and analysis from a wide range of disciplines, including art, economics, literature, politics and science. In translating media content, accuracy in communicating cultural allusions, technical terms, and nuances ‎ to the intended audience is equally crucial as translating plain text from one language to another. This study explores the linguistic and cultural barriers that may occur while translating English-Arabic online media, with a focus on findings from BBC Online News articles. It attempts to further contribute to a deeper understanding of media translation by focusing on bridging the linguistic and cultural divide while translating English to Arabic in online media. The results of this study suggest that a translator with advanced ‎proficiency and a thorough comprehension of the subtle linguistic and cultural ‎differences that exist ‎in both languages is required to provide high-quality ‎English to Arabic translation. In other ‎‎words, skilled translators who can ‎understand and incorporate the linguistic and cultural quirks of both ‎‎languages, creating a seamless connection ‎between the translation and media ‎domains, are essential for efficient media translation.

Translation outside the context of Language Service Providers (LSPs) represents a sizeable share of the translation market. However, this facet of the activity remains less visible and less open to monitoring. This study investigates translation as a situated practice in the context of Oman within institutions where the translation activity does not represent a primary purpose. Adopting a quantitative approach, the study employed an online survey to investigate indicators of the institutionalization of translation, such as resourcing, working conditions, distribution of work, interaction, workflows, and quality management policies. The findings show that translation activities within institutions in Oman are thriving. However, the study revealed that translation practices are subject to considerable variation and that, despite notable exceptions, translation is frequently affected by challenges related to inadequate staffing, resources, and quality assurance procedures. These practices are mainly ad hoc, providing little evidence that translation needs are treated as an integral part of the institution’s functioning. These findings align with observations in other contexts and underscore the need to recognise the significant role translation plays in the functioning of the institution and the need to effectively integrate translation activities within their institutional environments to enhance quality standards in this often-overlooked segment of the translation industry. More generally, the findings confirm the necessity for Translation Studies to appreciate the significance of institutional translation as a facet of translation as a situated activity.
Uma tradução de Dom Casmurro na Argentina em 1943: contexto e paratexto
Authors: Restom Débora Garcia
Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é interpretar, através de pesquisa empírica e descritiva, a função e posição sistêmica (Even-Zohar, 1990), que se procurou dar, no espaço cultural argentino, à edição da tradução de Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, publicada em 1943, num momento em que o setor editorial do país passava por uma grande expansão devido à retração da indústria editorial espanhola. Por um lado, a intermediação de diversos agentes da importação no país de chegada, tais como editores, tradutores, ilustradores, críticos e atores estatais, foi considerada na abordagem (Heilbron & Sapiro, 2007); por outro, analisaram-se os paratextos (Genette, 2009), incluindo a ilustração da capa, entendida aqui como transposição intermidiática, e outros elementos icônicos. Por meio dessas análises, verificou-se que a função que se procurou dar à edição da tradução do romance no espaço cultural argentino variou entre a estética, a identitária, a política e a ideológica, segundo a atuação dos agentes.
As margens da história: 1822, 1922, 2022
Authors: Capela Carlos Eduardo Schmidt
Published: June 2024

Partindo de observações relativas à Amazônia feitas por Euclides da Cunha, o ensaio a princípio discute dois dramas, Amor e pátria, de Joaquim Manuel de Macedo, e Sangue limpo, de Paulo Eiró, nos quais a proclamação da independência brasileira faculta aos autores postularem e defenderem valores que para eles deveriam nortear projetos relativos ao futuro do país. Na medida em que o modernismo foi caracterizado por António de Alcântara Machado como um movimento de independência, colaborações jornalísticas do escritor são então discutidas a partir de duas coordenadas por ele propostas para discorrer sobre a literatura modernista dos anos imediatamente posteriores a 1922: a poética da destruição e a política da fragmentação.
Proletários e periféricos: ensaio de interpretação da tradição do romance proletário brasileiro a partir de Cacau e Parque Industrial
Authors: Freitas Ismael
Published: June 2024

Qual a tradição do romance proletário brasileiro? O presente ensaio objetiva investigar e tentar responder à questão analisando, isoladamente e em confronto, os romances Cacau (2010 [1933]), de Jorge Amado, e Parque Industrial (2013 [1933]), de Patrícia Galvão. A hipótese de leitura reside na compreensão de que o problema se desenvolve a partir de uma estrutura de fundo, em que se refratam as tensões da modernização conservadora e do projeto de nação levadas a cabo pela elite brasileira.
Miss Ciclone e a Semana de Arte Moderna
Authors: Almeida Tereza Virginia de
Published: June 2024

O artigo tematiza a figura de Daisy, uma jovem normalista que frequentou uma garçonnière mantida por Oswald de Andrade, à Rua Libero Badaró, em São Paulo, no ano de 1918, alguns poucos anos, portanto, da Semana de Arte Moderna que aconteceu em 1922. Lá se produz um livro a várias mãos, um diário coletivo, O Perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo, que veio a ser publicado apenas na década de 1980 em edição fac-similar sendo, mais tarde, incorporado às Obras Completas de Oswald de Andrade. No diário, Daisy escreve sob o pseudônimo de Miss Ciclone. E acaba por se tornar o centro do livro, já que os rapazes que escrevem no livro são todos fascinados pela feminilidade misteriosa que Miss Ciclone representa.  Amante de Oswald à época, Daisy vem a falecer de um aborto em 1919. O caso Miss Ciclone leva a reflexões acerca da posição das mulheres na sociedade da época e em particular às ausências de representantes femininas na Literatura na Semana de Arte Moderna.  O artigo procura demonstrar como o patriarcalismo foi mais forte que as inovações que foram expostas na Semana de Arte Moderna.
Oswaldo Costa antropófago
Authors: Rio Doce Cláudia
Published: June 2024

O artigo aborda a trajetória de Oswaldo Costa, da Antropofagia ao jornalismo político posterior, fazendo um recorte em sua atuação na Revista de Antropofagia, como um de seus principais teorizadores, e enfatizando sua atuação no Semanário, jornal de esquerda independente que circulou de meados dos anos 50 até o golpe civil-militar em 64. O que exploramos, no decorrer da pesquisa, é a permanência dos interesses defendidos pelo movimento antropófago nos anos 20 nas causas abraçadas pelo Semanário décadas depois, mostrando coerência nas crenças e na ideologia de Oswaldo Costa, mas uma mudança radical nas estratégias de luta para alcançar os objetivos.
Sobre Paulicéia Desvairada (1922), de Mário de Andrade, e seu interessantíssimo prefácio
Authors: Alves Marques Francisco Claudio , Da Silva Conessa Gabriel
Published: June 2024

Passados cem anos da publicação de Paulicéia Desvairada (1922), o Prefácio Interessantíssimo que Mário de Andrade escreveu para a obra continua atual e interessantíssimo. Nos poemas que compõem o livro as «palavras em liberdade» captam a simultaneidade do espaço urbano, multicêntrico e pulsante em seu vertiginoso processo de expansão, demarcando os parâmetros de um Brasil novo que se processava nas terras paulistas. O humor e o desvario de traços dadaístas suscitam uma reflexão sobre o próprio fazer da poesia, ridicularizando muitos dos valores formais em que repousava então a nossa literatura. Como herança do expressionismo, a obra demonstra o empenho de um escritor comprometido com os novos rumos da sociedade, que busca inaugurar propostas inéditas para a poesia brasileira, mesmo que para isso tenha que se vestir com um traje de losangos multicoloridos com vistas a aglutinar “a variedade da vida metropolitana no século XX”, conforme observou Telê Porto Ancona Lopez (1979).
Obscena Ercília, obscena Cláudia: um centro de consciência em desconformidade com o modernismo?
Authors: Barossi Luana
Published: June 2024

O presente ensaio tem por proposta realizar uma leitura da obra Virgindade Inútil: novela de uma revoltada, de Ercília Nogueira Cobra, considerando seu ethos vanguardista, tanto em termos de forma, quanto em termos temático-políticos. Para tanto, será realizada uma análise do centro de consciência da narrativa, como proposto por Kress em sua leitura das formulações de Henry James e Edith Wharton, e de seu inconsciente político, tomando por base o conceito de Fredric Jameson, considerando especialmente o que diz respeito à sexualidade feminina na primeira metade do século XX no Brasil.
