Published: July 2021

The presence of diverse online resources in different delivery modes and the introduction of blended learning have posed new challenge for educational institutions to choose the method of learning which is not only effective but also a synchronized one. Changing a-synchronized contents into synchronized require an integrated effort from all members of e-learning system in the form of learning ecosystem. Learning ecosystem includes all components (content provider, infrastructure and consultant) that are necessary for the e-learning. In a learning system teacher are considered as content provider while students are acting as learners. A learning ecosystem aims to involve all stakeholders for the benefit of each other and does not restrict the role of students as learners only. Professional students enrolled in different degree programs have professional experience and are the source of asynchronous contents that can be synchronized through involving them as content vendors in learning ecosystem. This paper aims to introduce role of students as content vendors in the form of their professional experience from different industries. Their experiences will act as resources of educational institutions that can be assembled and used for awareness about business community among students. In order to integrate this valuable experiential knowledge, this paper will propose a model for institutions. Model proposed by this study will change the existing role of students solely as leaner to the knowledge providers. This attained knowledge will also cover the existing gap between theory and application of knowledge.

Pelas mãos das mulheres negras: construindo uma Justiça com equidade
Authors: VAZ LIVIA MARIA SANTANA E SANT’ANNA
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo evidenciar a necessidade de inclusão de mulheres negras no sistema de justiça brasileiro para a promoção de uma Justiça com equidade. O estudo demonstra como as opressões interseccionais de raça e gênero – às quais as mulheres negras estiveram submetidas ao longo da história colonialista escravocrata do Brasil – seguem condicionando o acesso de mulheres negras aos espaços de poder, notadamente ao sistema de justiça brasileiro. São apresentados dados que revelam os efeitos do racismo e do sexismo institucionais na atuação dos operadores do Direito, salientando como a escassez de mulheres negras – categoria social de maior vulnerabilidade na sociedade brasileira – resulta numa visão única, brancocêntrica e androcêntrica, a ponto de converter a realização de Justiça num privilégio do homem branco. Sob essa perspectiva, defende-se que a mulher negra se encontra numa espécie de encruzilhada interseccional que, se de um lado, reforça suas vulnerabilidades sociais, de outro, potencializa sua capacidade de promover uma transformação epistemológica e hermenêutica nos órgãos do sistema de justiça, para a construção de uma Justiça com equidade de gênero e de raça.
“Have You Eaten?” Portrayals of Deviant Women in Nollywood
Authors: Frempong Debbie
Published: July 2021

This paper explores filmic representations of womanhood in Nollywood, Nigeria’s largest film industry. Focusing on three different films over the span of 10 years, the essay argues that Nollywood’s engagements with Christian moral norms significantly impacts its portrayals of women, producing specific narratives around deviance and its accompanying failures of womanhood. It also shows how these narratives are differentiated through social class, as they highlight the institutionalized capitalist-sexist nature of the professional sphere women have to navigate. Traversing the public-private spheres, these narratives reveal the social pressures that simultaneously produce and disrupt ideas of womanhood. By analyzing the films, the essay posits that Nollywood’s representation of women reflects contemporary social anxieties about modernity, capitalism and morality, which are in turn refracted through the image of the deviant woman.

Accounting Harmonisation through IAS/IFRS and Internationalisation: Evidence from FDIs and Cross-Border M&A
Authors: Montani Damiano , Gervasio Daniele , Pulcini Andrea , Marchesi Camilla
Published: July 2021

The process of accounting harmonisation via International Accounting Standards/International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) adoption is very widespread, and it is still involving a huge number of countries all over the world.Previous academic literature investigated the impact of this process from different perspectives, such as the quality of financial reports, the transparency of financial disclosures, the liquidity of the financial markets and the cost of equity.The aim of this article is to contribute to the research stream exploring the effects of IAS/IFRS adoption, investigating if accounting harmonisation through the IAS/IFRS has had an impact on the internationalisation process. To achieve our objective, two multiple linear regression analyses are presented. The first one focuses on the impact of the adoption of IAS/IFRS on foreign direct investments (FDIs) using data collected from a sample of 34 Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) member countries. The second statistical analysis investigates the influence of IAS/IFRS adoption on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A), considering operations carried out by European-listed companies towards target companies located in the 34 OECD member countries. The FDIs and cross-border M&A are considered proxies of the internationalisation process.Preliminary results show that the adoption of IAS/IFRS has positively affected FDI flows and increased the value of cross-border M&A.This study has tried to provide theoretical contributions to the literature stream about the effects of the harmonisation process with IAS/IFRS adoption, showing the beneficial impact they may have on the internationalisation process. Moreover, our findings can be useful for policymakers and managers, suggesting that becoming IAS/IFRS adopters can facilitate the internationalisation process of the companies.
Is Chinese Run-on Sentence an Exception to the Iconicity of Sequence?
Authors: Chen Xiao
Published: July 2021

As one of the most active scholars in the field of Chinese run-on sentence (CRS for short), Wang and Zhao (2016) keenly realize that CRS displays distinctive traits of spatiality, namely, chunkiness, discreteness and reversibility, among which, the last trait and the iconicity of sequence/order (e.g. Haiman, 1984, 1985) seem to depict a diametrically opposite picture. In the present article, there would be an attempt to undertake an investigation of Wang, Zhao et al.’s ‘reversibility’ to see whether or not CRS is an exception to the iconicity of sequence/order. The main arguments are as follows. First, ‘reversibility’ is borne out to be local by some linguistic facts, especially in: (i) duyuju within CRS; and (ii) shuncheng CRS. Second, although the ‘reversibility’ sometimes exhibits a tendency to change the positions of clauses/syntagms in CRS, there is a clear correlation between the clause order of CRS and iconicity. The sequence/order principle in practice emerges as a cognitive mechanism emitting some effects in the clause order of CRS. Third, the Reversibility Condition is required to come into being so as to arrive at a detailed specification of the applicable scope of the ‘reversibility’. And finally, it is more preferable to ameliorate the spatiality of CRS as two traits, that is, chunkiness and discreteness.
