Wildlife Use Versus Local Gain: The Reciprocity of Conservation and Wildlife Tourism in Zimbabwe
Authors: Mudimba Talent
Published: December 2020

This study examined wildlife use versus local community gain in Protected Areas of Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe. Specifically, the study explored the reciprocity of conservation and wildlife tourism in Victoria Falls to determine the cost-benefit of Human Wild Coexistence within conservation goals and local communities’ welfare paradigms. To fulfil the key objective, the study gathered data from 365 local residents, which was supplemented with interviews from key resource persons. The study found that host communities in PAs are substantially still marginalised, and this exclusionary approach has resulted in increased local residents’ negative attitudes towards conservation tourism, making them (locals) to view tourism as insignificant in their local economy mainstreams. Nonetheless, conservation tourism has the potential to develop sustainably in PAs if there are transparency, accountability and renewed cooperation among all the tourism stakeholders who are involved in the decision-making processes. Concepts that provide new directions for public policy for inclusive participation, environmental justice and sustainability are highly contested in the study.
Factors Influencing Intention to Use Social Media Sites for Holiday Destination Selection by the Young Generation
Authors: Matikiti-Manyevere Rosemary , Hattingh Johannes
Published: December 2020

The main objective of the study was to examine the factors that influence attitude towards usage of social media for holiday destination selection by the young generation, specifically university students and to explore the antecedents of behavioural intention to use social media sites. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data for this study, yielding a total of 350 responses suitable for analysis. Regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that social presence, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment all positively influence attitude towards use of social media sites. Revealed by the results also is that perceived behavioural control, subjective norm and attitude also positively influence behavioural intention. Social media developers should develop sites, which are attractive, fun and exciting so that the young generation can be attracted. Moreover, destination marketers must ensure that all the important information is posted on their social media sites pages. Studies have been conducted on the usage of social media sites for searching travel related products, but limited research has been done focusing specifically on the usage of these sites by the young generation, such as university students in the South African context.
Adaptation of the Delphi Technique for Electronic Application in the Food Industry
Authors: Fisher Hennie , Erasmus Alet C , Viljeon Annemarie
Published: December 2020

Researchers often depend on humans to share their opinions, perceptions, experiences, or expertise concerning particular matters, which is a daunting task. As the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) continues to change the way we do things, electronic data collection is becoming a more viable alternative considering consumers' increased competence with modern technology. An electronic application of the Delphi technique that originated as a face-to-face or 'pen-and-paper' research technique is hereby presented as an up-to-date methodology and data collection tool that potentially holds many advantages across diverse disciplines. In the very dynamic foods and hospitality industry, where employment entails long and unconventional working hours, it is particularly challenging to pin employees down to participate in traditional data collection procedures where they are expected to complete tasks at specific times. An electronic application of the Delphi technique offers employees the opportunity to make valuable contributions to research in their own time and at their own pace. This paper reports on a successful electronic application of a classic Delphi procedure, involving South African food industry specialists, reflecting on the local context, aiming to optimize their expertise to elicit a context-specific definition for Food Literacy with all the associated dimensions.
The Impact of Demographic Influences on Work Engagement for Front of House Female Hotel Employees
Authors: Mpkhine Palesa , Geyser Ita
Published: December 2020

The demographic influences affecting the wellbeing of front of house (FoH) female employees who are employed in hotels. The work engagement subscales, vigour, dedication and absorption were measured against the participants’ age, level of education and marital status. A cross-sectional survey was done from a sample (n = 100) of female participants. A biographical questionnaire and The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were administered. Significant relationships were found on the vigour, dedication and absorption subscales. FoH female employees younger than 35, those with tertiary education and those without life partners displayed higher levels of wellbeing. Therefore work engagement levels vary with regards to age, marital and educational status. Human resource specialists for hotels could measure work engagement and apply it through in-house policies and supportive practices as well as defend these practices regarding their FOH female employees as female employees are the majority of employees within the hospitality industry. The workforce in South Africa is characterized by demographic diversity. The variances of work engagement are imperative as it enhances the guest experience and improves productivity and ultimately increases financial turnover for the hotels who operate in a very competitive market.
Community Perceptions of the Economic Impacts of Ecotourism in Cameroon
Authors: Harilal Vyasha , Tichaawa Tembi
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to investigate community perceptions of the economic impact of ecotourism in Cameroon. Using a mixed-method research approach, based on two case study areas (the Mount Cameroon National Park and the Douala Edéa Wildlife Reserve), community surveys were administered to 442 households. In addition, in-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted with relevant key informants. Key findings suggest that, while respondents generally agreed that ecotourism has many positive economic benefits, such benefits are often concentrated at government level, or contained within privately owned businesses. The lack of benefit sharing can be attributed to the low level of involvement of locals in the sector, unsuitable management practices that promote neither inclusiveness, nor the nomination of locals as economic beneficiaries of the sector, and an absence of dedicated ecotourism policy to guide the overall development and management of the sector. The study recommends that policies and strategies that encourage local economic development from ecotourism be established in the country, to ensure that the appropriate structures are put in place for the equitable distribution of the economic benefits to locals.
The Glass Ceiling: Career Progression Barriers for Female Employees in the South African Hospitality Industry
Authors: Mwashita Tinaye , Zungu Nanikie , Abrahams Diane
Published: December 2020

This study examined the glass ceiling phenomenon in the South African hospitality industry, with a particular focus on four hotels in Gauteng. The primary aim was to investigate the different perspectives held on the glass ceiling by exploring the key factors inhibiting women in the hospitality industry from proceeding to the next level of the corporate hierarchy, and, ultimately, to reach senior executive positions. Data was collected through informal semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire that was targeted at men and women in lower to top management positions within the different hotels. The key findings show that the glass ceiling indeed exists, as a fluid and dynamic phenomenon, which takes on various ever-evolving shapes within different work environments. Many women resonated with the nature of the glass ceiling. The literature depicts the glass ceiling as an overarching and all-encompassing phenomenon affecting women. The study sheds more light on the circumstantial nature of the glass ceiling and shows that certain factors exacerbate the effects of the ‘glass ceiling’ phenomenon. A study found that a combination of variables affected the careers of women and their work life balance. The study revealed that the circumstantial nature of the glass ceiling and its dynamic nature makes it impossible for there to be a uniform solution to navigating one’s career around it or to shatter it. This finding challenges the existing view of the glass ceiling and how women should be attempting to shatter it.
Evaluation of Government Responses and Measures on COVID-19 in the Tourism Sector: A Case of Tour Guides in South Africa
Authors: Nyawo Jabulani C
Published: December 2020

The aim of this paper was to explore and evaluate the support mechanisms or measures that the South African government has put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic for tour guides within the tourism sector. This was a non-empirical study, which used an exploratory research design. The study employed document analysis to gather the data, and discourse analysis was utilized to analyze the collected data. This study findings indicate that the government responses and measures assisted numerous tour guides during the lockdown period. Furthermore, the results showed that the tourism sector continues to be severely affected as the government has only recently allowed some business travel and leisure tourism. The study recommends that the government and other tourism stakeholders place new standards to reassure domestic and international travellers' safety so that the tour guides could generate income and avoid possible business closure in this tourism sub-sector.
An Evaluation of Wildlife Tourism Destinations’ Attributes, Overall Satisfaction and Revisit Intentions: A Tourist Guides’ Perspective
Authors: Ariya George , Sempele Catherine , Wishitemi Bob
Published: December 2020

This study developed and tested a model integrating associations of tourist guides, wildlife tourism destination attributes, overall satisfaction and revisit intentions. The study is based on a cross-sectional research survey of tourist guides visiting Lake Nakuru National Park (LNNP) in Kenya, where no such investigation has been conducted before. It was grounded on expectation/disconfirmation theory using attitudinal approach to destination loyalty. Data collection was done through self-administered structured questionnaires. Simple random sampling was used to select the sample size of 298 tourist guides during the study period. Data on socio-demographic characteristics was analysed descriptively while the evaluation of the measurement model was done through exploratory factor analysis and path analysis. The results showed a stronger positive association between wildlife resources and satisfaction, followed by cost of attractions, park image and park accessibility. There was a positive but weak relationship between satisfaction and revisit intention. Therefore, wildlife resources, park accessibility, cost of attractions, and park image dimensions are indicators of satisfaction, but satisfaction was not a good indicator for revisit intentions.

Bound to Interpret: Russia, NATO, and the Military-Political Crises in the Post-Cold War Order
Authors: Neklyudov N. N.
Published: December 2020

The study of Russia’s foreign policy poses something of a paradox. On the one hand, Russia’s actions are viewed as aimed at revising the existing rules-based order built by the end of the Cold War. On the other hand, on numerous occasions, one pinpoints that Russia has devised a language similar to the Western nations to justify its foreign policy. I call the phenomenon that explains this paradox the game of interpretation. The article illustrates how Russia is engaged in the game of interpretation with the West in the post-Cold War order by Russia’s appliance to the norm of humanitarian interventions. By analyzing the Russian discourse during the Russo-Georgian War (2008), I demonstrate how the Russian foreign policy leadership reproduces similar narrative patterns used by the West during the Kosovo War (1999). Exemplifying the game of interpretation by humanitarian interventionism is not accidental. Humanitarian interventionism is studied in the literature as being characteristic of the Western ‘ethical foreign policy’ originated by the end of the Cold War, with Russia being depicted as either skeptical or as an unequivocal opponent of such an approach in world politics. Methodologically, the work builds on quantitative and qualitative analysis of selected texts compiled from the archives of NATO and the US State Department, as well as the website “Kremlin.ru” and the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Interpreting Law Through International Judicial Dialogue by Polish Courts
Authors: Matusiak-Frącczak Magdalena
Published: December 2020

International judicial dialogue is a new method of law interpretation that gains popularity in analyses of legal scholars and still raises a lot of doubts both on its existence as well as its definition. This paper will deal with the application of this technique by Polish courts. In the first place, it will be explained what international judicial dialogue actually means. Afterwards, the paper will in detail discuss problems connected to the use of this method on the basis of decisions of Polish courts, first, by presenting examples of a proper, decorative and failed dialogue, and then by emphasizing complications caused by this method in the Polish jurisprudence. It will be also explored whether there exists a real dialogue, meaning that not only Polish courts receptively refer to judgments of international and foreign courts, but there is also some level of reciprocity in those references. At the end of the paper, the advantages and disadvantages of this method will be deliberated. In this part, I will suggest some solutions permitting mitigation of some adverse effects s of this technique.
Scandinavian Legal Realism and the Challenge of Recognizing Emergency Medical Service as a Legal Norm
Authors: Uusitalo Jenna
Published: December 2020

Emergency medical service (EMS) forms a sub-category of the internationally recognized right to health. However, despite the codification of the right to health in various human rights conventions which have been implemented in national legislation, EMS still seems to be regarded as an economic expense or a political decision rather than a legal norm or a human right. This paper evaluates the causes for such a misunderstanding, primarily through Scandinavian Legal Realism which emphasizes the social contextualization of law. Supplementary scholarly views, as well as a history of human rights, are also applied to support the main arguments. Essentially, the paper claims that the challenge of recognizing EMS as a legal norm is associated with the relatively abstract and impersonalized nature of emergency care.
International Trade Law and Emerging Technologies
Authors: Horváthy Balázs
Published: December 2020

The paper aims to establish a conceptual framework for a relation between technological development and the international trade law. Uncovering the complex interaction between these two areas of the social reality is important today, when we are witnessing an intense period of technological revolution, which transforms not only the trade, but also the whole economy, and at the same time, it also creates challenges to the international trade law. The paper sheds light on the background of these processes and offers an introductory analysis with the aim of mapping the topic and the relevant literature. For this reason, the paper examines the roots of this context, and tries to respond the questions, what are the main challenges this revolution poses to international trade law, and how this area of law can rely upon its infrastructure to respond these challenges.

Authors: Kačaljak Matej
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with new trends and new challenges for tax administrations in the digital age. A review of contemporary trends in developed economies and recent academic literature indicates there may be a visible trend of shifting the burden of collection and consolidation of data on e.g. transactions, income and wealth from the taxpayer to the tax administration. The paper identifies several particular areas in the Slovak tax law, where (omitting the factor of current technological capacity on the side of tax administration) there may exist possibility to follow this trend. Primarily doctrinal method and method of analysis of legal norms was employed.
Autoritarismo, resistencia y acoso laboral en la academia del siglo XXI: rostros ¿nuevos? de una vieja exclusión / Authoritarianism, resistance and mobbing in the 21st century academy: New? faces of an old exclusion
Authors: Saornil Comaposada Amparo
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo tiene lugar a partir de un estudio de caso autoetnográfico basado en experiencia de acoso laboral de la autora en una universidad española. El objetivo central del trabajo es examinar, desde un abordaje de ética aplicada, la compleja trama de poder en la que emergen y se desarrollan prácticas de violencia y acoso laboral en instituciones académicas y universitarias. Frente a los dispositivos que facilitan la perpetuación de estas prácticas de violencia y exclusión, así como su naturalización, el artículo propone revisitarlas a la luz de los criterios de las éticas organizacionales y los liderazgos morales, en aras de enriquecer las herramientas ya existentes en distintas universidades para detectar acoso y promover éticas colectivas. El artículo argumenta la necesidad de potenciar las estrategias multimodales contra el acoso laboral en la academia, a fin de que realmente sean efectivas y no parte de protocolos meramente formales. Finalmente, se propone apelar a una profunda crítica desde la ética filosófica en torno a los discursos y prácticas de acoso laboral académico y universitario, para erradicar las violencias no sólo en estas instituciones sino en cualquier ámbito de la vida social.
ABSTRACT
This article arises from an autoethnographic case study based on the author’s experience of harassment at work in a Spanish university. The main objective is to examine from an approach of applied ethics, the complex web of power in which emerge and develop practices of violence and harassment in academic and university institutions. Against the dispositive that facilitate the perpetuation of these practices of violence and exclusion, as well as their naturalization; the article proposes to revisit them in the light of the criteria of organizational ethics and moral leaderships, to enrich the tools already existing in different universities to detect mobbing and promote collective ethics of others. The article shows and argues the need to strengthen and radicalize the multimodal strategies to eradicate mobbing in the academy and the university so that they are effective and not part of merely formal protocols. Finally, it proposes to appeal to a deep criticism from the philosophy and ethics around the speeches and practices of academic and university mobbing to eradicate violence not only in these institutions but in any area of social life.
Totalidad y exterioridad en el pensamiento de Enrique Dussel. Interpretación y problematización / Totality and exteriority in Enrique Dussel’s thought. Interpretation and problematization
Authors: Garbarino Maximiliano Alberto
Published: December 2020

Dos conceptos centrales para comprender la obra de Enrique Dussel son los de totalidad y exterioridad. Ambos aparecen en toda la variedad temática de su obra: en trabajos de ética, de historia de la filosofía, de filosofía política, teología o de crítica económica. Este artículo se propone un recorrido por ambos conceptos teniendo en cuenta la presencia de una doble argumentación: una de corte filosófica y otra de raíz histórica. El objetivo es poner en evidencia cierto reenvío de uno a otro plano de las argumentaciones filosófica e histórica que presenta ciertos atolladeros. Para ello, se expone primero la concepción filosófica de la totalidad y luego la necesidad de dar cuenta de su carácter estructurador: el llamado núcleo ético-mítico. Se exponen también los dos caminos ético-míticos generales que de facto tomaron las grandes civilizaciones, mostrando luego -ejemplificando con las relaciones entre cristianismo y Cristiandad- las relaciones complejas e inestables entre totalidades, la exterioridad, tanto en su dimensión metafísica como histórica, y el problema del fetichismo. Luego, introduciremos algunas consideraciones en torno a las ideas de différance (Derrida) y de dislocación (Laclau) ateniendo a su impacto en el pensamiento decolonial. A partir de allí, dada la ausencia de origen o centro trascendental, se matiza la idea de totalidad cerrada; se revisa la noción de núcleo ético-mítico en su carácter monolítico, unívoco y monovalente; y se complejiza la cuestión de la exterioridad -y su relación con la idea de víctima-poniendo en cuestión su carácter metafísico u originario.
Política urbana y hábitat popular. Nuevas dinámicas de gestión del suelo privado en Pehuajó, Argentina / Urban politics and popular habitat. New dynamics of private land management in Pehuajó, Argentina
Authors: Ginieis María Angélica
Published: December 2020

A fin del siglo XX, en Argentina, los procesos de reforma del Estado con la descentralización de competencias a provincias y municipios en áreas vinculadas a la salud, la educación y la vivienda, trajo consigo el problema de que la descentralización de las competencias no fue correspondida con el traslado de recursos. Hoy, se suman otros reclamos en los espacios locales relacionados con el acceso al suelo urbano y la vivienda digna, la sustentabilidad ambiental, la equidad de género, la disminución de la brecha digital entre otras. La falta de planificación de políticas integrales de hábitat para pobladores de menores ingresos, desposeídos, migrantes, empleados en servicios en las familias consolidadas o en la ciudad, profundiza la desigualdad social y la degradación ambiental en la ciudad. Este trabajo propone el análisis de las nuevas dinámicas de acceso al suelo de manera legal implementadas desde el Estado en Pehuajó, Argentina y, para ello hace foco en el estudio crítico del uso de instrumentos normativos en relación a la incorporación de la tierra privada como políticas de inclusión de la población de bajo recursos de barrios populares. La propuesta se articula como interpretación afiliada con el discurso del Programa para América Latina y el Caribe del Instituto Lincoln de Políticas del Suelo. Desde una óptica autodefinida como progresista aplica nuevos instrumentos a la gestión del suelo urbano con la función de prevenir la informalidad y tener así una ciudad más inclusiva, mejor financiada, distribuir más equitativamente los servicios públicos y las cargas, y elegir las geotecnologías más apropiadas.
Movimientos sociales rurales en tiempos neoliberales: antagonismos y subjetividades políticas en resistencias / Rural social movements in neoliberal times: antagonisms and political subjectivities in resistance
Authors: Soto Oscar
Published: December 2020

Este artículo realiza un análisis sobre la experiencia política del Movimiento Nacional Campesino Indígena- Somos Tierra, con la intención de caracterizar las modalidades de resistencias surgidas en los espacios rurales latinoamericanos, particularmente en Argentina. Se parte del supuesto de que en la praxis de los movimientos sociales/populares, en particular los movimientos campesinos-indígenas, se estructuran y re-configuran subjetividades políticas en procesos de resistencia, cuyas tramas de acción conforman otra episteme y una nueva cultura política que se evidencia entre otras cosas en los saberes que emergen de la labor política y los espacios colectivos construidos en el campo. A tal fin, se intenta reseñar los núcleos teórico-políticos que atraviesan la movilización popular latinoamericana desde el Movimiento Nacional Campesino Indígena- Somos Tierra, en tanto espacio de politicidades rurales que configuran una resistencia frontal a la fase neoliberal del capitalismo global.
Praxis de la resistencia ideológica y política al “deporte capitalista”
Authors: Ollier Fabien , Brohm Jean-Marie
Published: December 2020

El artículo sintetiza las ideas principales de la Teoría Crítica del Deporte, que ha investigado desde finales  de la década de 1960 en Francia los significados del deporte en el capitalismo. En el primer apartado, se argumenta que el deporte se integra en el desarrollo capitalista y contribuye a transmitir los valores de la burguesía industrial desde finales del XIX. En el deporte, se escenifica la competitividad, la mitificación de la lucha, el triunfo y el éxito, a la vez que es un entrenamiento, un vehículo, para el rendimiento y la productividad en el trabajo. En este mismo capítulo inicial, se discuten diferentes efectos negativos del deporte en el capitalismo contemporáneo, que han sido analizados por parte de la Teoría Crítica del Deporte: desde la violencia al machismo, desde la corrupción de las instituciones deportivas a la mercantilización y espectacularización de un deporte entendido como mecanismo de distracción.En un último apartado, se propone una tipología de actitudes de los actores deportivos que legitiman y hacen pervivir los mencionados efectos negativos del deporte en el marco del capitalismo actual.

In this research, it is aimed to introduce the teaching process related to the mathematics course designed according to multiple intelligence theory and to evaluate the students’ opinions about the teaching process. Action research design was used in the research. Purposeful sampling method was used in the research group. The research group consisted of 18 students attending a high school. As a result of the evaluation of the observation forms applied, the students developed materials and activities related to their own intelligence areas related to trigonometry. The interview form was analyzed with descriptive analysis method. As a result of the research, it was determined that the students stated that the lessons were more fun and they learned the subject more easily with the activities designed according to multiple intelligence theory. It was concluded that the students learned by doing by themselves because they prepared the materials themselves, they participated in the classes more actively but the application process took too much time and the learning environment was noisier.
The The Perceptions of Parents and Teachers about the Classroom Environment and Morality
Authors: Salahuddin Dr.Afsheen
Published: December 2020

The basic objective of this study was to explore the issues of morality in the classroom environment and to look for the ways to teach moral values to the students during their classes. This small scale study has tried to provide some solutions to this issue.  The present study has adopted a qualitative paradigm for the in-depth analyses of the issues regarding morality and classroom education. The study includes semi structured interviews taken from ten parents whose children are studying at the university level. Moreover ten university teachers were also interviewed to know about their views regarding the issue of how to teach moral values to the students in the classroom setting along with teaching. The interviewees were chosen through purposive sampling technique.  The interviews were semi structured so that real views of the teachers and parents could be explored and also to make them feel relaxed. The interview consisted of five open ended questions. The interviews were recorded and later transcribed and then they were analysed by utilising the thematic analysis technique. The major themes which emerged after the analysis were that first of all, teacher should be a role model practicing the moral values himself/herself. Another theme was bridging the gap between parents and children, also enhancing friendliness among the teachers and their students so that students could be taught how to observe certain ethics and values in the classroom settings in an informal way like showing some videos or discussing some news which highlight some moral issues. Another theme was to develop a model based on moral education which should be incorporated into the curriculum of the educational institutes. The study provided some effective solutions which if incorporated in the classroom teaching can be helpful in solving the issue of morality among the students.

Authors: Siddiqui Ghazal Khalid , Lodhi Huma , Kalsoom Tahira
Published: December 2020

The teachers are trained with the aim to provide the necessary knowledge and skills that could help them in dealing with difficulties that they face during teaching, from the planning of a lesson to its implementation. All those skills could be developed among prospective teachers during the phase of their learning. The current study was supposeded to assess the implementation of such skills in classrooms and then measure its effect on the students’ performance. For this purpose, a quasi-experiment was carried out. Consequently, two intact groups enrolled in the third semester of B.Ed. honors at a public university were considered as a sample of the study. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) by Schraw and Dennison (1994) was adapted to test Metacognition. Parallel to this, the researcher developed rubrics and observation sheets to assess students’ performance of tasks. Results of the current research reflected that metacognition development has a significant effect on the task performance of students who received the intervention. In light of these results, it is suggested that teacher training institutes should consider the development of Metacognition among their students. Teachers should incorporate different techniques that help them in inculcate metacognition development among their students.

Justiça multiportas uma análise a partir da atuação da Câmara de Resolução de Litígios de Saúde (CRLS) em Campos dos Goytacazes
Authors: Jean Rangel Abreu Arêas Philippe , Hasenclever Lia , Villela Ahmed Flávio
Published: December 2020

Pode-se afirmar que a função elementar do Direito é garantir a pacificação social. Porém, ao contrário do que muitos pensam, não é apenas por meio da judicialização que se consegue obter a paz social. Os sistemas alternativos de pacificação social são métodos eficientes de resolução de conflitos, pois, além de porem fim ao problema, eles são mais céleres, econômicos e menos desgastantes para os envolvidos. O presente artigo tem como objetivo estudar a atividade da Câmara de Resolução de Litígios de Saúde (CRLS), no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, estado do Rio de Janeiro, num cenário de intensa judicialização de políticas públicas de saúde. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa descritiva, bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados mostraram que a atuação em rede da CRLS fomentou a resolução administrativa dos conflitos priorizando as políticas públicas existentes sem negligenciar a garantia das necessidades individuais de saúde.
Governança pública na Administração Pública Digital e a superação da parametrização consequencial das decisões
Authors: Faleiros Júnior José Luiz de Moura
Published: December 2020

Recente reforma legislativa inseriu na Lei de Introdução às Normas do Direito Brasileiro preceitos voltados ao que se denominou de “segurança para a inovação pública”, cujo propósito é limitar a utilização indiscriminada de abstrações nas razões de decidir, implementando cânones consequenciais para os quais gestão, gestor e a própria Administração Pública devem voltar olhares. Para além dessas inovações, problematizam-se os limites da juridicidade correlata ao ainda existente campo lacunoso de sistematização e parametrização de integração intra-sistemática das normas de direito público. E, como proposta de desenlace dessa deformação pautada na ausência de um macrossistema aglutinador dos assuntos da Administração Pública Digital, trabalha-se com a hipótese de que somente o emprego de efetivo do compliance pode conectar os esforços integrativos já realizados pela recente reforma da LINDB, na perspectiva da gestão pública, aos valores éticos desdobrados da boa governança é que conduzirá à formatação do sobredito macrossistema. Nesse intuito, tem-se o objetivo geral de avançar para além do consequencialismo jurídico e, em linhas mais específicas, destacar os aspectos conducentes à almejada sistematização e parametrização de políticas de governança aplicáveis ao direito público. Do ponto de vista científico, a pesquisa utilizará o método de abordagem histórico-sociológico, com implementação de substratos obtidos em pesquisa bibliográfico-doutrinária da interação entre o direito administrativo e as políticas e boas práticas de governança. Ao final, serão apresentadas as considerações finais, das quais se procurará extrair uma compreensão mais assertiva quanto à necessidade de ressignificação do pilar de sustentação do direito público.

Este artigo tem por finalidade analisar o planejamento estratégico de sucessão de três empresas familiares situadas na região do Cariri cearense. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram delineados a partir de um estudo de caso que foi construído por meio de entrevistas e um questionário adaptado nos autores Crasto (2012) e Ferreira (2015). Com base nos dados obtidos, foi analisado o período em que as empresas se encontram no modelo tridimensional proposto por Gersick (1997). Analisando a fase que as empresas estão, de acordo com o modelo tridimensional, que contempla os eixos “empresa”, “propriedade” e “família”, os respondentes, consideraram que em relação ao eixo “empresa”, todos se encaixam na fase de “expansão/formalização”. No eixo da propriedade, estão na fase “proprietário controlador” e finalmente no eixo da família as empresas se consideram no estágio “trabalho conjunto”. Após analisar as estratégias utilizadas pelas empresas familiares para sua sucessão, percebeu-se que as mesmas não possuem um planejamento estratégico de sucessão bem definido, mas é comum a todas acreditarem que o sucessor deve ser da família
The Relationship between Burnout and Counterproductive Work Behavior. The Role of Compassion Fatigue and Organizational Justice
Authors: Mărgulescu Ana-Maria
Published: December 2020

Counterproductive behavior is a phenomenon that affects both organizations and employees. This research aimed, in an exploratory manner, to observe the relationship between counterproductive behaviors, burnout, compassion fatigue, and organizational justice at the workplace. For this study, data were collected from 100 employees through a Google Forms questionnaire. From the statistical analysis, CF does not represent a mediator of the relationship between burnout and counterproductive behaviors, nor is organizational justice a moderator of the relationship between burnout and counterproductive behaviors. The statistical analysis was performed in the JAMOVI 1.2.12 program
Community and Sense of Place in an International School Context

This study seeks to identify and explore the sense of place that Third Culture Kids (TCKs) have and the various interpretations that TCKs have regarding their lived reality, as they form part of the international community in Romania. This study contextually explores the sense of belonging to a place. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the role and ways of implementing "Place Based Education" in the context of international and multicultural education systems that serve TCK populations. This was done while trying to understand concepts from the expatriate way of life as expressed by TCKs who attend the American International School of Bucharest. Two main assumptions form the grounds of this study: When an international school combines an International Baccalaureate (IB) system with Place Based Education (PBE) criteria, would it contribute in creating a "Sense of Place" towards the school and contribute in creating a positive foreigner self-identification? This research aims to understand whether and how PBE can be implemented in an international school. Throughout two academic school years, field observations and interviews with students and school staff were conducted. The data analysis resulted in three main findings. The first finding was ambivalent feelings towards the host country that were connected to expressions of place attachment, place dependence and place identity. The second finding was self-identification as a TCK and a sense of belonging to an international community. The third and most surprising finding was a strong sense of place in relation to the school. This process led to comparing Place Based Education criteria to the criteria of the International Baccalaureate program and discovering that these two pedagogical worlds are overlapping and can therefore be easily combined.

Türkiye'nin güneyinde yer alan Antalya, Akdeniz kıyısındaki merkezi ile Türkiye'nin en önemli turizm şehirlerinden biridir. Antalya'nın kuzeyinde Burdur, Isparta ve Konya; Doğusunda Karaman ve Mersin, batısında da Muğla bulunmaktadır. Türkiye’de demografik olarak ilk nüfus sayımı 1927 yılında yapılmıştır. 1927 yılından sonra ise 1935 yılında nüfus sayımı yapılmış ve ardından her beş yılda bir nüfus sayımı tekrarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada hem Akdeniz Bölgesinin hem de ülkemizin en önemli turizm merkezlerinden biri olan Antalya ilinin 1927-1950 yılları arasında nüfusun demografik yapısı ele alınmıştır. Bu demografik yapı çalışmasında Antalya ve ilçelerinin nüfusu, şehir ve köy nüfusları, cinsiyet durumuna göre nüfus, okur-yazarlığa, dinlere, konuştuğu dillere, engelli durumuna, meslek durumlarına, doğduğu yerlere göre nüfus ile birlikte doğum ve ölüm sayıları, ölüm sebepleri, evlenme ve boşanma sayıları aktarılarak, Antalya ilinin 1927-1950 yılları arasındaki toplum yapısı ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın ortaya çıkmasında ana veri kaynağı olarak Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’ndan faydalanılmıştır.

Understanding the spatial variability in soil parameters is important for efficient management of soil resources. The present study evaluated the influence of landform on the spatial variability of chemical and physical attributes of soils of Central State Farm, Jetsar, Sri Ganganagar district, Rajasthan. The highest available macro and micronutrients content were observed in soils of aeo-fluvial plain followed by stabilized sand dune and active sand dune. The soils across the landforms were low in organic carbon content barring 3 per cent soil samples of aeo-fluvial plain. The mean available N was 153, 139 and 112 kg ha-1 in aeo-fluvial plain, stabilized sand dune and active sand dune, respectively. The available P in stabilized sand dune and aeo-fluvial plain was found high whereas it was medium in active sand dune. About 41, 22 and 17 per cent soil samples of aeo-fluvial plain, stabilized and active sand dunes were high in available K, respectively.
