Reviewing Identity: Vojvodina of the ninth decade of the past century
Authors: Marković Saša
Published: January 2024

The paper represents a consideration of attitudes related to the national-political status of Vojvodina after the death of Josip Broz, during the (re)affirmation of the constitutional and national identity of the socialist Yugoslav federation and its constituent elements. Relying on the existing continuity of discussions about the position of Vojvodina in the Republic of Serbia and the Yugoslav Federation, temporarily interrupted due to the honoring of the personality and work of Comrade Tito, the transition process, which increasingly turned into a process of disintegration of the joint state, testifies to the increasing number of contradictions regarding the future of the status of AP Vojvodina. Arising from ambivalent motives, they soon transformed into uncompromising antagonisms that persistently insisted on their own orthodoxy at the cost of a decisive conflict. In such circumstances, all interested parties ignored the fact of an overly cumbersome and bureaucratized party apparatus, and thus the state apparatus, which had long since lost any foothold in the political will of the population. For this reason, the massing of support, in one moment, became a decisive moment of prestige that led to the final political triumph. The accompanying populist manifestations decisively influenced the specific development of democratic pluralism, which intended to make a departure from the compromised ideology of the Yugoslav federation.
Korelacija govora nastavnika italijanskog jezika u univerzitetskoj nastavi sa nivoom Zajedničkog evropskog okvira za žive jezike (ZEO)
Authors: Šuvaković Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

Cilj rada je da ukažemo na koji način upotrebni potencijal tzv. Teacher's talk-a, odnosno jezičkog priliva, koji nastavnik daje na italijanskom jeziku, utiče na razvoj jezičko-komunikativne kompetencije studenata. Sve značajnija glotodidaktička tema, upravljanje učionicom, zahteva temeljno proučavanje kvalitativnih i kvantitativnih karakteristika jezičkog priliva kojima studenti italijanskog bivaju izloženi u ograničenom vremenskom periodu i izolovanom kontekstu, a sve to u značajnoj meri utiče na brzinu i kvalitet dostizanja svake od komponenata komunikativne kompetencije. Rezultati longitudinalnog istraživanja koje smo sprovodili u periodu od 2018. do 2023. godine ukazuju na međuzavisnost između markiranog govora nastavnika tzv. Teacher's talk-a i nižih nivoa jezičko-komunikativne kompetencije studenata, dok, s druge strane, zaključujemo da razumevanje obraćanja nastavnika u interakciji pozitivno korelira sa nivoom ZEO. Istraživanja jezičkih karakteristika u izolovanom institucionalnom kontekstu, kakav je univerzitetska nastava italijanskog jezika, imaju kao krajnji cilj da ukažu na značaj proučavanja svih činilaca koji mogu da ograniče interakcijsku (a)simetriju i (ne)ravnotežu između učesnika.
Multiple intelligences model in primary and secondary schools in Serbia: Teachers' attitudes
Authors: Kulić Danijela
Published: January 2024

The Multiple Intelligences model has been well-known worldwide since the 1980s. However, it has not been widely applied in the Serbian educational system despite its benefits, especially in primary education. This model is also referred to as differentiated instruction or modular learning. The aim of the paper is to present the teacher development program on Multiple Intelligences accredited by the Institute for the Improvement of Education (ZUOV no. 694) and the results of the survey administered as the evaluation of the program. The teacher development program aimed at familiarizing teachers with the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, its application to teaching, and the benefits of activating various intelligences in students through diverse teaching activities. In total, 64 teachers underwent the training. The survey mapped the attitudes of 57 teachers in primary and secondary schools from Leskovac and Čačak in three deliveries of the program. The results of the survey reflect positive attitudes among teachers towards the model of multiple intelligences. In general, participants believe that they have learned different ways to improve their teaching practices, primarily through ready-made activities that stimulate each individual intelligence. The majority of teachers (96.49%) believe that the training program is useful for their teaching, while all agreed that the training enabled them to recognize the types of multiple intelligences in themselves and their students. This recognition helped them enrich the existing body of teaching techniques and activities they had used previously.
On translation & love
Authors: Fernando Jeremy
Published: January 2024

This piece meditates on the possibility that translation, which entails openness to the possibility of another, and love, which always already involves reading, are not quite the same thing but are potentially inseparable from each other. All while bearing in mind the fact that translation, even when done with love, always also transforms the text: changing it in ways that might fundamentally alter it, for better or worse.
Where the translator is always also potentially a traitor.
Who (s)he betrays though — the text, herself, the other, their relation — might well be the question.
Though, as Neil Murphy once told me, “reading literature with your head is always a mistake”. So, instead of attempting to rationalise a text — reign it in, make it safe, tame it — perhaps all we can do is to open ourselves to a work.
And listen.
Hoping it takes my breath away.
Entropy in literature and philosophy
Authors: Veisland Jørgen
Published: January 2024

Quantum physics is uniquely equipped as a science to abridge the gap between the physical and the spiritual, the human and the animal. How this abridgment may come about will be shown in an examination of the basic concepts of quantum physics, highlighting entropy; of Søren Kierkegaard’s philosophy, notably the work Repetition; a selection of modern literary works; illustrations of quantum mechanics provided by links to impressionist and abstract painting; a sound track and video emulating thunder, and a discussion of music.
Questioning the dualities of psychoanalysis and architecture
Authors: Huskinson Lucy
Published: January 2024

While Freudian psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology may seek to go beyond the Cartesian split of body and mind, they draw their own lines of division, splitting the mind into two worlds of ego-conscious and unconscious, each with their own ways of Being and rules of behaviour. Furthermore, they tend to ignore the relevance of the material world for our psychological wellbeing, preferring to focus on interpersonal and intrapersonal human relationships. This essay examines the models of the unconscious put forward by Freud and Jung in relation to the material, non-human environment to reconsider the significance of the built environment for their theories. I conclude that Jung’s approach to the built environment is perhaps more defensive or closed-off to the “outside” world than he otherwise suggests in his writings, while Freud’s by contrast is potentially more open to it, and probably more than he himself realized or was willing to accept.
Demodernizing psychology
Authors: Antolínez David
Published: January 2024

What would be required to dismantle modern psychology? How could it be purged the pervasive dichotomies that turned this discipline highly asymmetrical? Could we focus on the practices of hybridization to reformulate psychology as a non-modern science? This overreaching project will be explored in a series of four essays. This first piece will begin by describing the difference between the approaches of classic epistemology and Latourian philosophy to scientific activities in general and psychology in particular. Then it will explain in greater detail the symmetric anthropology used by Latour to depict the Modern Constitution and its dualistic influence in the sciences. Not only is psychology problematic due to its deeply rooted dichotomies, but mainly because it plays a pivotal role in this Modern Constitution. The essay finishes by exploring alternatives proposed by Latour to achieve a symmetrical metaphysics, which consequentially would lead to a reformation of psychology itself.

REPRESENTACIONES DEL CUERPO GESTANTE: MATERNIDAD Y DOLOR EN LA ÚLTIMA POESÍA ESPAÑOLA (2001-2020)
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ MARTÍNEZ Sergio
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la temática de la maternidad vinculada al dolor en la poesía española más reciente con el fin de ofrecer un panorama representacional del cuerpo gestante y discriminar algunas de las estrategias discursivas y retóricas que han guiado y caracterizado dicho tópico en la lírica contemporánea. Frente a la figura maternal de la tradición española, en los primeros veinte años del siglo XXI han aparecido nuevas realidades y modos socioculturales de comprender este proceso, lo que repercute, de manera directa, en la creación artística. Así, e integrado en la disciplina fenomenológica de los estudios del cuerpo, el análisis proporciona las claves interpretativas que permiten diferenciar la renovación del embarazo en este periodo: la inclusión del plano íntimo, la dimensión autobiográfica, la plurivocidad enunciativa y otros recursos que, desde la experiencia vital, se trasladan al espacio poemático. 
Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the theme of maternity linked to pain in the most recent Spanish poetry to offer a representational panorama of the pregnant body, and to identify some of the discursive and rhetorical strategies that have guided and characterized this topic in contemporary lyric poetry. In contrast to the maternal figure of the Spanish tradition, the first twenty years of the 21st century have brought new realities and socio-cultural ways of understanding this process, which have direct repercussions on artistic creation. Thus, and integrated in the phenomenological discipline of body studies, this analysis provides the interpretative keys that allow us to differentiate the renewal of pregnancy in this period: the inclusion of intimist aspects, the autobiographical dimension, the enunciative plurivocity, and other resources that are transferred from the vital experience to the poetic space.
Keywords: Body. Maternity. Pain. Spanish Poetry. 21st Century.
SINFONÍA DE LA VIDA (OUR TOWN, SAM WOOD, 1940): DESVELAMIENTO DEL ACTO DE NARRAR CLÁSICO
Authors: POYATO SÁNCHEZ Pedro
Published: January 2024

Aun cuando el sistema de representación fílmico clásico de Hollywood se quería tan sólido como uniforme y bien definido, no por ello dejó de incorporar películas alternativas a ese modelo. Una de ellas es Sinfonía de la vida (Our Town, Sam Wood, 1940), una cinta que, además de movilizar rasgos estéticos vinculados a las vanguardias cinematográficas, introduce un dispositivo narrativo pilotado, como en la obra teatral que sirve al filme de punto de partida, por la figura de un narrador básicamente destinado a sacar a la luz los mecanismos del acto de contar, velados en el clasicismo. El presente trabajo se ocupa de dar cuenta de tales cuestiones que convierten a Sinfonía de la vida en un filme singular por este modo de tensionar el paradigma clásico. 
Abstract: Even when Hollywood’s classical cinema representation system was aimed to be as solid as homogeneous and well defined, alternative films continued to be incorporated to that model. One of them is Our Town (Sam Wood, 1940), a film that, in addition of working aesthetic features linked to the avant-garde cinema, introduces a narrative device led, as in the theatrical work that the film uses as a starting point, by the figure of a narrator basically devoted to reveal the mechanisms of the act of narration, which are veiled in Classicism. This article tries to disclose the essentials that turns Our Town in an unconventional film due to its capacity of extending the classical paradigm.

Published: January 2024

Using nanotechnology to develop nanobiopesticides is an emerging strategy for controlling insect pests because of their high synthesis efficiency and environmental safety. In this study, Myrtus communis L. plant extracts were used in the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and evaluated for their insecticidal activity against the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. ZnO NPs were characterized using several methods, such as an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, where the peak was recorded at 378 nm. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared analysis spectrum showed many different types of functional groups playing a role in the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that synthesized ZnO NPs were semi-spherical, ranging from 40 to 60 nm. Prepared concentrations of ZnO NPs were tested against nymphs and adults of M. persicae, and 77.37 and 53.65% of mortality was recorded at 100 ppm concentration after 3-day post-treatment, respectively, compared to controls (plant extract only used) where 33.31 and 23.54% of mortality was observed. It shows that the M. communis-based ZnO NPs were approximately 2.5 times more effective toxins suggesting the potential of nanoproducts as nanobiopesticides..

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Meng Meng , Tang Yingcong
Published: January 2024

As a general foreign language course of College Korean language course, due to the curriculum, student characteristics, teaching methods and other reasons, the ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’ has not been well integrated into the teaching of College Korean language course, and in the research related to the ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’, the research related to the College Korean language course is in the embarrassing situation of being marginalized. Analyzing the current situation of ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’ in the College Korean language course, there are problems such as the lack of awareness of the ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’, a single and shallow angle of the content of the ‘Ke- Cheng Si-Zheng’, and a single teaching method of the ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’. This paper will break the limitations of the discipline itself, integrate the knowledge of different disciplines organically, and explore the path and direction of the interdisciplinary expansion of the contents of the ‘Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng’ with the goal of cultivating compound talents with interdisciplinary vision and ability based on the College Korean language course.
ADSORPTION OF BEMACID RED DYE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS ON COAL FLY ASH MODIFIED WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID
Authors: Raca Dragana , Vukić Ljiljana , Drljaca Dijana , Dragić Dajana
Published: January 2024

The adsorption process gives great results for the removal of different types of colored substances or different, mainly organic pollutants from wastewater. In addition to standard adsorbents (such as activated carbon), cheap and natural adsorbents have been increasingly used in recent times (e.g. clay, zeolites), along with waste materials (fly ash from thermal power plants or different agricultural/plant remains), after proper preparation and modification. Research presented in this article was performed with fly ash from thermal power plant Stanari. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of removing Bemacid Red (BR) dye from textile industry wastewater by adsorption on fly ash modified with HCl. After a series of experiments, the optimal process parameters were determined. These parameters were then applied to a wastewater sample obtained by simulating polyamide fabric dyeing. The efficiency of adsorption of BR dyes from aqueous solutions depends directly on the process parameters: contact time, pH value, adsorbent dose and initial adsorbate concentration (dye concentration). Under optimal process conditions, a dye removal rate of 97.1 % was achieved. Analyzing the experimentally obtained data using nonlinear adsorption isotherms, a much better agreement of the Freundlich model with the experimental results was determined (the coefficient of determination is R2=0.9787). The obtained data show that the adsorption of Bemacid Red dye on fly ash is multilayered. Optimal parameters of the adsorption process were applied to wastewater obtained by simulating the process of dyeing polyamide fabric with BR dye. The efficiency of adsorption under defined conditions was confirmed through the 100 % removal of dye from a real wastewater sample.

Published: January 2024

Knowledge of the weed flora of a certain area, as well as knowledge of the relationship between cultivated plants and weed plants, is important for successful weed control and the efficient application of agrotechnical measures. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the weed flora in maize fields in the area of Novi Grad, as well as a taxonomic analysis, an analysis of the biological spectrum, a phytogeographical analysis and an analysis of ecological indicators of the maize weed flora. During field research on two maize fields in the area of Donji Rakani village (Novi Grad), a total of 38 species of vascular plants were collected, which were systematized into 35 genera and 16 families. The most abundant in terms of species numbers were the families Compositae (31.58%) and Poaceae (18.42%), as well as the genera Erigeron, Ranunculus and Setaria. Hemicryptophytes (36.84%) and therophytes (31.58%) dominated the biological spectrum. Phytogeographical analysis revealed the dominance of the Eurasian (25.81%) floral element. A total of seven adventive species were recorded. The paper also presents the results of the analysis of ecological indicators for soil moisture, soil reaction, nutrients, light and temperature. The results of our research contribute to a better knowledge of the weed flora in maize fields, which could be useful for creating more efficient weed control measures.

Reconversión de cultivo: de palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis) a cacao (Theobroma cacao) en Quinindé, Ecuador
Authors: Intriago Mendoza Fernando Rodolfo , Intriago Mendoza Flora Carmen , Intriago Mendoza Roberto Miguel
Published: January 2024

La producción de palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis) ha estado presente en el cantón Quinindé desde los años setenta, desplazando a otros cultivos de la zona como el banano, café, cacao, entre otras, convirtíendose en el monocultivo más extendido en el cantón, el mismo que se ha visto afectado por la enferemedad pudrición de cogollo (PC), perjudicando a la mayor parte de las plantaciones de palmas, lo que ha llevado a un profunda crisis en el cantón, ahondado por acontecimientos recientes como desastres naturales y caída de precios en las exportaciones, lo que repercute sobre los productores de palma del cantón. Por esto es importante analizar si es conveniente resembrar plantas de palma aceitera y continuar con el cultivo a riesgo de lo mencionado, o si se crean otras alternativas de producción como el cacao (Theobroma cacao) para solventar la actual crisis, al tener mayores alternativas de producción, así como recuperar uno de los cultivos más importantes del país, mismo que cuenta con su propia historia y valor agregado además de ser muy cotizado en mercados internacionales al punto de ser considerado producto de excelencia por sus propiedades, de aroma y sabor, generando industrias y cadenas de valor sobre el mismo.

Continuous mobile manipulator performance measurement data
Authors: Aboul-Enein Omar , Medeiros Henry , Shah Mili , Li-Baboud Ya-Shian , Bostelman Roger , Virts Ann
Published: January 2024

Mobile manipulators, which are robotic systems integrating an automatic or autonomous mobile base with a manipulator, can potentially enhance automation in many industrial and unstructured environments. Namely, large-scale manufacturing processes, typical in the aerospace, energy, transportation, and conformal additive manufacturing fields, encompass a notable subset of potential future mobile manipulator use-cases. Utilizing autonomous mobility for manipulator re-positioning could allow for continuous simultaneous arm and mobile base cooperation, which is referred to as continuous performance. Continuous mobile manipulator capabilities may hold particular benefit for large, curved, and complex workpieces. However, such flexibility can also introduce additional sources of performance uncertainty, preventing mobile manipulators from satisfying stringent pose repeatability and accuracy requirements. To identify and quantify this uncertainty, the Configurable Mobile Manipulator Apparatus was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Previous test implementations with the apparatus included non-continuous mobile manipulator performance, such as static and indexed performance, but continuous performance measurement had been demonstrated previously only in simulation and on proof-of-concept hardware. The work presented in this report details the transfer of the latest version of simulations and algorithms for continuous registration to an industrial mobile manipulator platform. Additionally, a 2^3 factorial designed experiment was conducted to produce an accompanied continuous mobile manipulator performance dataset. Analysis of the dataset focused on comparing the performance and robustness of two continuous localization methods: 1) a deterministic spiral search and 2) a stochastic Unscented Kalman Filter search across two selected mobile base speeds and sides of the apparatus.
El cuidado del otro como relación social
Authors: Donati Pierpaolo
Published: January 2024

La esencia del cuidado de quienes necesitan ayuda consiste en una cierta relación, en dar y recibir de una cierta forma. La relación como tal es la protagonista del cuidado. La ayuda material siempre es necesaria, al menos por el tiempo que se le tiene que dedicar, pero lo material toma su significado de la relación entre el que ayuda (caregiver) y el que recibe la ayuda (care receiver). El cuidado es una relación del mundo de la vida (lifeworld, Lebenswelt). Lo que falta en la sociedad actual no son tanto los recursos materiales y tecnológicos, sino las habilidades relacionales para acoger, apoyar e integrar socialmente a las personas en dificultad. El cuidado del otro se confía cada vez más a las nuevas tecnologías y a los mecanismos de bienestar impersonales, mientras que las relaciones sociales interpersonales se vuelven cada vez más débiles, líquidas e inaccesibles. Las consecuencias son evidentes en la pérdida de la solidaridad social y en el deterioro humano. Necesitamos un cambio social, ante todo cultural, que ponga de manifiesto, en lugar de ocultar, el carácter relacional de la necesidad humana y, correlativamente, de la respuesta necesaria.
Employment Challenges in Kenya
Authors: Omolo Jacob
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the employment challenge in Kenya. It focused on the past employment creation interventions adopted by the country over time, their outcomes and the status of the countryâ€™s employment policy. Kenyaâ€™s employment challenge is manifested in terms of a 12.7 per cent open unemployment rate, 21 per cent underemployment and a working poor estimated at 46 per cent of the employed. The employment challenge is heightened by rapid population growth at 3 per cent per annum, a youth bulge of 67 per cent of the adult population, low and un-sustained economic growth, and structural rigidities. The paper establishes that much of the employment creation measures adopted by the government have recognized the role of economic growth in employment. This is despite the low employment yield of the countryâ€™s economic growth attributed to sluggish economic growth. To reverse the trend in slow employment growth, Kenya must focus on ensuring high and sustained economic growth. In addition, employment needs to be put at the centre of the countryâ€™s macroeconomic policies. Since a large proportion of the Kenyan labour force, even under the best scenario, will remain in the informal sector, the living standards of Kenyans will only brighten if the productivity and employment conditions of informal employment improve. It is envisaged that improving the productivity of the informal sector with a well balanced mix of economic and social policies will make a remarkable contribution to improve the labour and living conditions of a large number of Kenyans.Â Â
Government Expenditure on Growth Strategies and Poverty Reduction in Tanzania. What Have we learned?
Authors: Kazungu Khatibu G.M. , Cheyo Mudith B.
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the relationship between the reduction in income-poverty and government expenditure on growth strategies that have been implemented in Tanzania since the mid 2000s. The paper shows that despite impressive economic growth of about 6 percent per annum that the country has enjoyed in the course of implementing growth strategies over the past few years, poverty has declined marginally and remains pervasive in the rural sector. This paper argues that growth strategies in Tanzania have not helped to reduce income poverty significantly because government expenditures to finance such strategies have been allocated to investment in social services which reduce income poverty indirectly and as such, effects take time to be realized. This paper argues that rural income diversification coupled with substantial investment in agricultural sector remain paramount as a panacea to reducing income poverty; and improvement in the quality of life and social wellbeing.Â Â Â Â

Published: January 2024

This article investigates the determinants of private investment in Tanzania using Error Correction Model and employing time series data for the period 1975 â€“ 2010. The results show that public investment, GDP growth and credit to private sector are important in explaining growth of private investment but there is no enough evidence that interest rate, exchange rate and degree of openness of the economy have influence on growth of private investment. Policy implications on both fiscal and monetary sides are presented in line with the findings of this article.Â Â

The study revealed that relations and connections are the social capital factors that emerged as significant factors with positive impact on family business sustainability. The study finding indicates a positive relationship between networks and business sustainability. The study recommends that there should be a culture of nurturing the youth to take over the role of managing the business. This should be in line with family members to establish short and long-term plans for the future of the business. Moreover, the study recommends that in order to build the family membersâ€™ confidence and loyalty to the family businesses, there should be a system of compensation in which those who devote much be remunerated proportionally.

Authors: Hamzat Bolaji Saheed , Opele Adedayo Mathias , Bello Bashiru Akande
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we moved away from the questionnaire and interview data gathering approach to testing the fundamental assumption of human resource management (HRM) practices as they impact both the employee and organizational performance using financial data. We argued that performance is better appraised â€œa posterioriâ€. Thus, we extracted financial data from the annual financial report s from the year 2002 to 2017 and the Pearson Correlation method was used for analysis. The analysis reveals that there is a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between, (i) compensation and employee performance (0.815); (ii) compensation and organizational performance (0.666); and (iii) between employee performance and organizational performance (0.903). However, the findings should be treated with caution as these relationships do not imply a causal one. Importantly, the results strengthen the fundamental role of HRM practice of compensation as one of the important drivers of employee performance that culminates into the overall improved organizational performance.Keywords: Compensation, organization performance, employee performance, HRM Practices
The Effect of Manufacturing Capability on Firm Performance: Empirical Evidence from Small and Medium Manufacturing Companies in Kigali-Rwanda
Authors: Romain Kasema
Published: January 2024

This research paper examined the effect of the attributes of manufacturing capability on the performance of small and medium manufacturing companies in Kigali-Rwanda. Data were collected from a final sample of 111 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. To analyze the collected data, a two-step approach to Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB- SEM) was applied using the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) statistic software version 25.00. Data were inspected for the presence of outliers, multivariate normalit y, and multi- collinearity, while the reliability of the construct was assessed by Cronbach's Alpha, convergent and discriminant validity. The findings revealed that all the attributes of manufacturing capability namely quality, cost efficiency, delivery, and flexibility have a positive and significant effect on the performance of small and medium manufacturing firms. It has been concluded that manufacturing capability contributed positively and significantly to inter-firm performance validating than the resource-basedÂ  viewÂ  applicability Â toÂ  SMEs.Â  This study Â contributedÂ  toÂ  the existingÂ  strategic management literature on how manufacturing capability can enhance firm performance. Therefore, the study recommended that a firm should develop a complete approach of implementing the four dimensions as they should not be considered in isolation rather integrated and combined to leverage and sustain the performance over time.Â Â Keywords: Manufacturing Capability, Performance, Rwanda, Manufacturing sector
Relationships Among Employeesâ€™ Job Attitudes of Perceived Supervisory Support, Job Involvement, and Organisational Commitment
Authors: Ngatuni Proches
Published: January 2024

Organisational commitment has been shown to influence various work outcomes like job performance and turnover intention. Thus, understanding its antecedents has been an essential preoccupation of many researchers. However, research linking organisational commitment to the other job attitude variables has been scant, especially in frontier markets like Tanzania. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among job attitudes ofÂ  perceived supervisory support, job involvement and organisational commitment of employees in Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 190 employees. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to establish the relationships while the Hayesâ€™ Process Tool was used to test for the mediation effect. Â The results indicated that both job involvement and perceived supervisory support significantly positively affect organisational commitmentÂ  and that perceived supervisory support was the most influential predictor. Job involvement significantly but partially mediated the relationship between perceived supervisory support and organisational commitment. The findings call for organisational managers to design and implement measures aimed at enhancing supervisorsâ€™ supervising and supporting capacity in order to build the committed workforce required for the attainment of the organisationâ€™s vision and mission.Keywords: job involvement, organisational commitment, perceived supervisory support, mediation

Abstract :
Management in education requires a system that stores various information needed in educational institutions. The system can be said to be a management information system. Management information systems in education have a very broad scope and are based on initial concepts such as systems, data, databases, and information presentation in an educational institution. This article aims to explain the basic concepts related to management information systems in education. This article uses descriptive qualitative and literature study methods by collecting various information from various references related to systems, system development, education systems, information, data, databases and the provision of educational data and information. The education system is a regular arrangement of activities and sub-systems that are interrelated with each other and correlated to achieve the desired educational goals. In the system there are two parts that should not conflict with each other, the difference only lies in the procedures for use and elements such as teachers, students, student guardians, principals, and the community. Furthermore, the system requires development that is useful as an improvement in achieving educational goals through stored data and information.
