Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) has become an on-going important aspect in Human Resource Management. OCB is essential in improving organisations in terms of performance and productivity. The objectives of this study are two-fold: (1) to investigate the relationship among conscientiousness and organisational citizenship behaviour, and (2) to investigate the relationship among person supervisor fit and organisational citizenship behaviour. With this study, the negative outcomes of OCB can be reduced while enhancing the better outcomes of OCB. This study was applied among the employees in the finance and insurance industry in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia with a sample of 185. The participants were chosen in a purposive sampling method to ensure they are working in the relevant industry. A mono design that is a quantitative method was applied through google form questionnaires. This study is being formulated at a theoretical level and tested at an empirical level with SPSS 27 and SmartPLS 3.0. This study revealed that both conscientiousness and person-supervisor fit have positive effects on organisational citizenship behaviour. This study recommended that the Ministry of Finance should focus on the enhancement of organisational citizenship behaviour with the relation of personality and the fit between an employee and a supervisor.

Nem túlzás azt állítani – amit sokan megfogalmaztak már -, hogy a verseny, versenyképesség fogalmak értelmezésével és mérésükkel foglalkozó forrásmunkáknak könyvtárnyi irodalma van. Ennek ellenére a kapcsolódó fogalmak értelmezése nem tekinthető egységesnek. Még inkább helytálló ez a megfogalmazás a mezőgazdasági vállalatok versenyképességére. Ennek egyik okaként jelölhető meg a szerénynek mondható forrásmunkák száma és az ágazati sajátosságok is. ismert, hogy a mezőgazdasági termelés színtere a vidék mint a tér lehatárolt – földrajzi értelemben is értelmezhető – mezőgazdasági tevékenység folytatására alkalmas egysége. A legkisebb térbeli egység a tábla, amelynek agroökológiai potenciálja – a természeti adottságok miatt – adottnak tekinthető, és ez meghatározza annak hasznosítási módját, a termesztési feltételeket is. Mivel a mezőgazdasági termelésnek sajátos a viszonya a természeti erőforrásokhoz, és a mezőgazdasági termelés számos sajátossággal rendelkezik, a kapcsolódó kérdések tárgyalása nem nélkülözheti a rendszerelméleten és integrált szemléleten alapuló multidiszciplináris megközelítést. A dolgozatban arra keressük a választ, hogy a versenyképesség termék és vállalati szintű értelmezésének milyen tartalmi elemei vannak, és azok között milyen ok okozati összefüggések és kölcsönhatások állnak fenn a mezőgazdasági vállalatokban. A tartalmi elemek ismerete, a versenyképességre ható tényezők és az előzőekben vázolt megközelítési mód alapján értelmezzük a versenyképes mezőgazdasági vállalat modelljét. Gyakorlati adatok felhasználásával készült modellkalkulációk eredményeivel szemléltetjük a versenyképességre ható tényezők gazdasági vetületeit.

A szerzők a globális kihívások mellett elemezték a lineáris gazdaság és körforgásos bioökonómia jellegzetességeit. Továbbá az energiafogyasztás, a Co2-kibocsátás alakulása és az energiafüggőség tükrében azt vizsgálják, hogy az európai zöld megállapodás célkitűzéseinek megvalósítása mennyire tekinthető reálisnak, figyelembe véve az Oroszország és Ukrajna között kirobbant konfliktus energia- és élelmezésbiztonsági kockázatait is. A zöld megállapodást eredetileg nem béke- és biztonságépítő eszköznek szánták, de mára világossá vált, hogy az EU-ban közös energiastratégiára, energiaunióra is szükség van. Ha a zöld megállapodás menetrendjét véglegesen felfüggesztik, akkor az ökológiai következmények évtizedekig éreztetni fogják hatásukat, ugyanakkor az eredeti menetrend esetleges átmeneti felfüggesztése ellenére 2050-re várhatóan elérhető a klímasemlegesség.
Impact of COVID-19 on tuberculosis: A complex global disaster
Authors: Dalvi Prasad S. , Roberts Taylor P. , Dalvi Sanika P. , Wirfel Olivia M.
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an extremely negative impact on the already existing tuberculosis (TB) pandemic. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), whereas TB is caused by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The consistent TB spread had been occurring well before the COVID-19 pandemic began, and previously undiagnosed TB cases have become more prominent just recently because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the close-quarters and stagnant lifestyle that COVID-19 has pressed upon many communities generates a breeding ground for both SARS-CoV-2 and Mtb infections. There has also been an impact on the ability of those with existing TB infections to seek treatment, both financially and physically. At present, there is no effective vaccine against TB, whereas effective COVID-19 vaccines have been approved and administered worldwide. However, vaccine inequity has been inadvertently contributing to the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants with dire implications for the control and eradication of TB. The COVID-19 may be controlled soon, but only after adversely affecting the global TB eradication efforts. This review focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the already existing TB pandemic and the possible ways to combat the social synergism of these two strikingly similar infections.

Historical trauma, substance use, and mental health symptoms among a sample of urban American Indians
Authors: Guenzel Nicholas , Daisy Dai Hongying , Dean Lyndsay
Published: November 2022

Aims: Little research has examined historical trauma (HT), addiction, and mental health problems among general populations of urban American Indians (AIs). This study examined associations to help fill this gap.

Methods:This is a secondary analysis of data from a Midwestern urban AI population. Based on a psychological inventory, participants (n=117) were separated into a substance group (n=19), a psychiatric group (n=43), and a control group (n=55). Results of the historical loss scale (HLS, 12 items) and the historical loss-associated symptoms scale (HLASS, 12 items) were examined between the groups.

Results:The psychiatric group reported thinking about three specific losses more than the control group and six specific losses more than the substance group. No significant differences were found between the substance group and the control group. The psychiatric group reported nine historical loss-associated symptoms more frequently than the control group. The substance group reported experiencing five symptoms more frequently than the control group. The substance group reported one symptom more frequently than the psychiatric group.

Conclusion:Historical trauma appears to affect individuals with psychiatric or substance problems differently from those with no problems. American Indians with psychiatric or substance problems report experiencing some HLAS more often than individuals without these problems. The direction of this relationship is unclear, but it is apparent that historical loss thoughts and symptoms likely affect individuals with psychiatric and substance problems differently than the general public. Providers need to be attuned to these results to understand the experiences of their AI patients.
Interstitial lung disease in a patient with premature aging: Suspected Werner syndrome
Authors: Gonzalez-Santiago Greisha M , Fernandez-Gonzalez Ricardo , Gonzalez-Del Rosario Modesto , Sierra-Zorita Radames , D Garcia Carlos
Published: November 2022

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disease that can be diagnosed with cardinal signs without the genetic testing. Some features that are consistent with WS include premature aging, loss, and graying hair, scleroderma-like skin changes. We report a 42-year-old man with cardinal signs of WS who also developed interstitial lung disease (ILD). The patient had past medical history (PMHx) of atypical left femur fracture in his early 30s from unknown causes. Also, he had loss and graying hair, salt-on-pepper skin changes, associated with squeaky voice, muscle wasting, and osteoporosis. He had worsening symptoms of dyspnea on exertion and was found with bilateral diffuse subpleural reticular opacities with slight mid- to lower-lung predominance and mild bronchiectasis without honeycombing or ground-glass airspace opacities on chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Other causes of ILD were excluded as patient routine laboratories and rheumatologic workup was negative. Werner syndrome presents similar features with other telomerase-associated diseases such as mutations of telomerase complexes [telomerase RNA component (TERC) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)]. Werner syndrome can be difficult to diagnose because it is a rare genetic disease that begins to show symptoms and signs after 10 or 20-year-olds, but the diagnosis is recognized after 30s. Few cases have been reported about the association of WS and ILD, but both diseases are aging diseases. This case might be the first case reported in Puerto Rico of Werner syndrome associated with ILD. Early referral and treatment is important to improve patients’ quality of life and life expectancy by slowing the progression of the disease.

Authors: Raut Thaneshwari Sabina
Published: November 2022

In the Asteraceae family, the genus Tagetes contains annual and perennial herbaceous plants. This Asteraceaespecies is native to Mexico and other parts of warmer North America, and it has naturalized elsewhere inthe tropics and subtropics. Pigments are chemical substances that absorb light in the visible spectrum andplant pigments are also known as bioactive chemicals, natural colorants and due to their possible healthbenefits, which have enhanced their economic demand in the current setting. Marigold flowers (Tagetes)are rich in lutein, a carotenoid pigment that ranges in hue from yellow to orange-red. Lutein is a carotenoidpigment that is yellow and belongs to the xanthophyll family. Following solvent extraction and solvent removal from dried marigold flowers, oleoresin is obtained, which is refined to create a mixture of lute inand xanthophylls suitable for human consumption as a food additive or dietary supplement. The use oflute in as a good antioxidant has expanded into the nutritional, poultry industry, dyeing industry, andpharmaceutical industries.

Published: November 2022

The present study was conducted at K-block, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru. Theexperimental material for the present investigation consists of two varieties of Bambara groundnut havinggood agronomic base belonging to different accessions viz., SB-42 (light brown, round shape and whitehilum) and S165A (dark brownish, dark spotted surface and oval shape). Five different concentrations ofEMS 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 per cent were used to treat the seeds. After the treatment, the seeds were sownin the field along with control (untreated seeds) to raise M1 generation. The M2 generation was raisedduring 2014 summer season by pooling all the seeds of M1 plants on plant to row basis along with controlplants. In both the varieties of Bambara groundnut, the mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of mutagenictreatments varied not only between the two varieties but also between the treatments. A concentration of0.3 per cent EMS was more effective than the other concentrations of EMS. Hence 0.3 per cent EMS has beenregarded as LD50 for inducing useful mutations.

Published: November 2022

A growing trend in contemporary development research is to define development not only in economic terms but also as freedoms and capacities that individuals have to improve their social and economic standing (Pereira and Teles, 2010). While economic growth is crucial to sustained poverty reduction, institutional and social changes are also essential to the development processes and the inclusion of poor people (World Bank 2012). At the same time, themes of political stability and corruption have called for an analysis of global and national political structures and of their impact on socio-economic relationships(Acemoglu, 2012).

The South Sudan banking has seen momentous changes in the post-independence era. It has witnessed introduction of a remarkable shift in its operating environment during the last decade. Various reform measures, both qualitative and quantitative, were introduced with an objective to revitalize Indian banking sector and to meet the future challenges(Carlson, 2010). Every aspect of the functioning of the South Sudan banking industry, be it a customer service, resource mobilization, credit management, asset-liability management, investments, human resource development, and forex management are undergoing dramatic changes with the reforms gathering the momentum and speed. Several innovative IT-based services such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), electronic fund transfer (EFT), anywhere-anytime banking, internet banking etc. are being introduced in the South Sudan banking customers(Kassim & Abdullah, 2010).
THE EFFECT OF POLITICAL INSTABILITY IN COUNTRY PROSPERITY
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Political instability simply the opposite of political stability; according to an early definition by Butkiewicz, James and Yanikkaya, (2010) a politically stable country had been a democracy or autocracy for at least 25 years (Cavallo and Cavallo, 2010). This definition would mean that political instability was just the non-persistency in form of government, no matter what type of rule (Bussière, Matthieu and Christian Mulder, 2008).

Carmignani, (2009) related political instability to legitimacy of the political system, and thus a political system could only be more or less stable compared to it or other systems. This also suggests that individuals can be dissatisfied, loose confidence in the political system and act on their discontent (Gleditsch, Wallensteen, Sollenberg and Strand, 2012). The predominant view of political instability builds on both these definitions. Social unrest and civil disobedience may manifest itself through civil society, creating socio-political tension and a possible threat to political regimes.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ON CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Third-party interventions into ongoing civil wars are complex attempts to manipulate the preferences of warring parties, and thus conflict outcomes. These attempts to alter the course of a conflict can include providing materiel, intelligence, and money to change the structure of the relationship among combatants, or alternatively, providing information through mediation and other diplomatic initiatives to change the information that they hold about their adversary.  Both approaches can have conflict management goals, although mediation has a much more direct link to a goal of containing violence and making peace.  Conceptually, however, the two approaches to intervention could work in unison.
THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL INITIATIVE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Financial initiative, government policy related to taxation and public spending. Fiscal policy and monetary policy, which is concerned with money supply, are the two most important components of a government's overall economic policy, and governments use them in an attempt to maintain economic growth, high employment, and low inflation.J. Nogueira Martins (2009)

Financial policy can be either expansionary or contractionary. It is expansionary or loose when taxation is reduced or public spending is increased with the aim of stimulating total spending in the economy, known as aggregate demand. Expansionary policy might occur when a government feels its economy is not growing fast enough or unemployment is too high. By increasing spending or cutting taxes, the government leaves individuals and businesses with more money to purchase goods or invest in new equipment. When individuals or firms increase their purchases, they raise demand, which requires additional production, creating jobs and generating more spending. The result is higher employment and a growing economy.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATIONS PERFORMANCE ON ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Accurate and appropriate measurement of performance is a critical element in entrepreneurship research (Aktan, Bulut, 2008). According to Achemfuor,(2012), a well-organised system of performance measurement may be the single most powerful mechanism at management’s disposal to enhance the probability of successful strategy implementation. In many of the studies in the field of strategic entrepreneurship, firm performance is defined as a dependent variable and the entrepreneurship activity of the firm is considered an independent variable. There is strong agreement among the researchers that the results of successful entrepreneurial activities positively correlate with the improvement of a company’s performance (Fairoz, Hirobumi& Tanaka, 2010).

Measuring absolute firm performance is very difficult, because the concept is complex and multi-dimensional. Researchers suggest that multiple performance indicators should be used to measure this complex construct (Farrington, Matchaba, 2011). The predictable approach to firm’s performance has been to consider financial performance (Frank, Kessler & Fink, 2010). Another approach to organisational performance is to use measurement against purpose, using perceptual measures of company performance (Fatoki, 2012).
THE IMPACT OF SMALL ARMS ON CHILDREN AND GIRLS IN ARMED CONFLICTS.
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

The use of arms whether small, light, improvised or weapons of mass destruction in conflict, is not new; and this explains why the right of self-defence and self determination are part of the international law. What is rather new is that access to these weapons is easy and cheap. Records have it that you can exchange an AK47 for as little as a bag of grain, and studies have it that, there are more arms with the militias than in the National armies of most African countries. And what is most unacceptable is the indiscriminate use of these weapons, against those that the humanitarian laws are out to protect. The proliferation of these weapons in the hands of undisciplined actors has outpaced the efforts to ensure compliance with the basic rules of warfare. The aftermath is levels of wanton violence and streams of horrific images.

Published: November 2022

L’émergence des femmes  vendeuses dans les activités lucratives est un problème qui touche plus à l’autonomisation de ces dernières et au financement de leurs activités. C’est un problème en rapport avec la pauvreté, tributaire à l’économie congolaise qui a du mal à décoller. C’est dans le contexte de la lutte contre la pauvreté que cette étude est organisée. L’objectif est d’apprécier la contribution de la pratique des activités génératrices de revenus dans l'amélioration de conditions de vie de femmes et leur résilience face aux crises dans la ville de Kindu. Notre investigation est une étude analytique qui nous a permis d’obtenir les résultats suivants : La tranche d’âge de 35 à 40 ans présente un nombre plus élevé (25%) ; les femmes mariées couvrent 50%; La majorité des vendeuses a un niveau d’instruction primaire (56%) ; les vendeuses ayant un revenu moyen sont nombreuses (53%) ; un bon nombre de femmes réalisent un bénéfice moyen (62%) ; 55% visent l’éducation de leurs enfants ; les plus âgées dans les activités lucratives représentent 14%.  Il est remarqué que les femmes se heurtent à des obstacles de tout genre, mais la plupart des familles dépendent de leur revenu.
SİYASAL PARTİLER VE TİPOLOJİLERİ ÜZERİNDEN TÜRKİYE’DE GENEL SEÇİMLERİN DÖNEMSEL DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİNE YÖNELİK NİTEL BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Published: November 2022

Bu çalışma ortaya çıkış koşulları itibariyle siyasi partiler ve tipolojileri arasındaki nedensel ilişkiyi konu edinmektedir. Tipolojilerine göre siyasi partilerin ortaya çıkış koşulları ve seçim dönemlerindeki konjonktürel gelişmeleri arasında benzerlik ve/ve ya farklılık değişimleri araştırmanın temel sorusudur. Böylece demokratik siyasal sistemlerin temel kurumları arasında yer alan siyasi partilerin tipolojik özelliklerinin seçimlerdeki sonuçlarla ilişkisi incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın birincil bulgusu Türkiye’de siyasi partilerin parlamento içerisinden ve olağan üstü koşullardan ortaya çıktığıdır. Olağan üstü koşulların siyasi partileri ideolojik bir çatı altında birleştirdiği ifade edilebilmektedir. Ancak çok sayıda genel seçimlerin gerçekleştirilmesi ve istikrarlı olmayan hükümetlerin kurulması diğer bir sorunsal olarak belirmektedir. Bu durum dikkate alındığında ise siyasi partilerin alternatif ideolojilerden ziyade ekarte edici seçim süreci yürüttüğü ve siyasi parti tipolojilerinin zaman içerisinde seçmen davranışları tarafından etkilendiği anlaşılmaktadır.

Published: November 2022

A long term (1990-2000) soil and water salinity monitoring programme was undertaken to address the salinization problem in paddy cum brackish water shrimp cultivation area . The information generated during this period has been presented in this paper. In monsoon season, particularly from August to October soil salinity had increased from 1.4 dS/m to 10.3 dS/m. In between November and February depth of ground water table remained within 0.12 m to 0.33 m and rest of the year it remained at or close to the surface. So, due to presence of ground water table at shallow depth and slower permeability downward movement of soluble salts from the top is very limited. Under Pashur river system average submerged water salinity was found to be 13.8 dS/m to 17.5 dS/m in between March and- May. In Shibsha river system it was found to be 13.2 dS/m to 24.2 dS/m in between February and June. More soluble salts have been accumulated in the topsoil over long period brackish water shrimp cultivation. Increasing tendency of soil pH from 7.5 to 8.2 may be due to high amount of cations like Ca, Mg, and K. High amount of S may be one of the possible reasons for P deficiency in brackish water submerged condition. Soils are rich in B. Cu, Fe except Zn. Late transplantation, without or very little fertilization, without insecticides, use of aged seedlings, wider spacing, relatively high flooding at the time of aman transplantation, minimum tillage and little opportunity of flushing and leaching of fresh water are the common constraints of paddy cultivation in paddy cum brackish water shrimp cultivation area.

An investigation was conducted to find out the surface water quality and classify them according to their suitability for irrigation in Dighalia Upazila. The water samples from eighteen selected locations were collected and analyzed for pH, EC, Ca, Mg, Na, K, S, B, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, SAR, SSP and hardness (HT). The pH values of water indicated neutral to alkaline in nature and chemical analyses of water samples reflected the concentration of most ions were within the safe limit except Mg, Na and K concentration those were higher in surface water than normal concentration. Classification on the basis of EC, SAR and HT indicated safe limit for irrigation and only 22% water samples were within the permissible limit based on SSP for irrigation use.
WOMEN’S PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SPACES IN BANGLADESH: QUESTION OF COLLECTIVE MOBILIZATION AND RESISTANCE
Authors: Murtaza M.G. , Farzana F.
Published: November 2022

In Bangladesh, women are being discriminated in terms of access to health, shelter, clothing, employment, education, assets and other necessities of life. This has some definite and direct spatial manifestations in terms of uses of private and public spaces. Moreover, the women do not demand for their required spaces both at private and public lives. The present article discusses the constitutional provisions of spaces for the women, the existing system of availability of private and public spaces for women, arising problems due to absence or non-availability of such spaces, and, collective efforts of the women required to realize their rights of using of spaces, and how collectively they can be mobilized to address these problems.
Los desafíos de la economía mexicana

Published: November 2022

El dilema actual de las autoridades de muchos países es cómo lograr un crecimiento económico acelerado, con un uso eficiente de los recursos energéticos y bajos niveles de contaminación ambiental provocada por las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. No obstante, en el mundo, las necesidades energéticas y las emisiones contaminantes se dispararon desde la década de 1960. Según datos del Banco Mundial, entre 1971 y 2014 el consumo mundial per cápita de energía creció 44%, mientras que las emisiones mundiales por persona de dióxido de carbono aumentaron 56% entre 1960 y 2013. Por supuesto, la economía mexicana no está exenta de la disyuntiva entre energía y contaminación, dado que de 2020 a 2050 el consumo total de energía crecerá un 40% y las emisiones de CO2 aumentarán al 32% (APEC Secretariat, 2019).

John J. MacAloon and the Communitas of the Great Symbol
Authors: Torres Cesar R.
Published: November 2022

John J. MacAloon was, and still is, one of the most lucid observers of the Olympic Movement, as well as an indispensable maker and most prominent contributor to the field of study now known as Olympic studies. His whole oeuvre can be divided into three main areas of concern: the emergence and historical development of the International Olympic Committee, the anthropology of the Olympic Games, and the ethical and political dimensions of the Olympic Movement. In this article, I provide a brief elaboration of MacAloon's contributions in each of these areas, interspersing examples of how his scholarship influenced my own as appropriate. I begin by explicating the notion of communitas that underpins MacAloon's work and around which it revolves. I then explore the relevance of the communitas in MacAloon's scholarship on the “great symbol”; that is, the Olympic Games and their renowned five interlocking rings. I conclude by arguing that this great symbol, articulated in the context of communitas, frames and grounds the unique understandings of Olympism and the Olympic Movement that MacAloon has produced over the years.
Teológia és felvilágosodás : Decsy Sámuel, Benedek Sámuel és Szabó Zsigmond köszöntői egy odera-frankfurti teológiai disszertációban
Authors: Bodnár-Király Tibor
Published: November 2022

A dolgozat célja Decsy Sámuel (1742–1816), Benedek Sámuel és Szabó Zsigmond latin nyelvű köszöntő verseinek közreadása. A kutatás számára eddig ismeretlen versek Johann Isaac Ludwig Causse (1728–1802) és Hermann Nonnen (1738–1781) 1771-ben megjelent teológiai doktori értekezésének (Dissertatio Inauguralis Theologico Historica De Cura Dei Singulari Circa Genus Messiae) függelékében lettek kinyomtatva. A tanulmányban a disszertációt három közelítésben vizsgálom. A kutatás eredményeire támaszkodva elsőként a tágabb intellektuális kontextus ismertetésére kerül sor. Ennek során külön kitérek a teológiaoktatás és a felvilágosodás helyzetére Odera-Frankfurtban. Ezt követően külön figyelmet szentelek Johann Isaac Ludwig Causse és Hermann Nonnen karrierjére, valamint a nevük alatt megjelent disszertáció főbb ismertetőjegyeire. Végül sort kerítek a disszertáció és a köszöntő versek szerzői közötti kapcsolat értelmezésére. A versek eredeti latin átiratát a tanulmány mellékletében közlöm. A dolgozatban amellett fogok érvelni, hogy a 18. századi Odera-Frankfurtban a teológiai felvilágosodás fontos szerepet játszott a világi tudományok közvetítésében. Ilyen módon a helyi teológus képzés és tudástermelés vizsgálata megkerülhetetlen tényezőként jön számításba a kelet-európai kultúrtranszfer folyamatok értelmezésekor.
Code-Switching and English Language: A Linguistic Study in the Saudi Perspective
Authors: Alqarni Ali Mohammed
Published: November 2022

There are several interpretations of code-switching. Some teachers encourage EFL learners to apply it as they believe it helps them acquire and comprehend the target language. This study investigates in three different settings the code-switching behaviors of 10 Saudi students, the association between the participants' degree of English proficiency and their employment of code-switching. It also investigates how the context affects code-switching behaviors by examining the various types of code-switch as well as how code-switchers perceive it. The study's qualitative methodology involved interviewing the participants and use of checklist to analyze their responses.  Results show the participants with high English proficiency levels, did not like to switch codes. Additionally, while the minority of participants claimed they did not code-switch in the Saudi context, the remaining individuals claimed they did so in each of the three settings. However, the study found that among the participants, one word (noun) was the form of code-switch that was used the most frequently. Finally, the study demonstrated that even though all individuals occasionally switched codes, they all had unfavorable perceptions of it. The study suggests that teachers should regulate code-switching in different contexts.
Notas Sobre o Materialismo das Formas Socioeconômicas de Karl Marx
Authors: Pinheiro Hyury
Published: November 2022

Busco realizar uma síntese e precisão de uma interpretação da crítica da economia política de Karl Marx que privilegia a forma como elemento teórico-crítico fundamental. A partir do tratamento de noções-chave como “relação social de produção”, “categoria econômica”, “imanência” e “reconstrução”, discuto o papel fundante das formas socioeconômicas mercadoria e dinheiro e do conceito de capital, bem como seu estatuto teórico-crítico. Com isso, tento pôr em questão a instrumentalização de O Capital como repositório de categorias descritivas em favor de sua condição crítica.
