The study leads to understanding the relationship between human resources (HR) practices and outcomes to maintain organizational performance (OP) in Saudi Arabia. It concentrates on whether the HR practices quality overcome the quantity or not in the educational sectors. Convenience sampling was used to collect data using google forms based on A structured questionnaire. A total of 759 responses were successfully received and completed. The questionnaire consists of items measuring different aspects of HR practices, employee commitment, and organizational performance. The structural equation modelling (SEM) method used path modelling analysis using Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) analytical software. The results show a reasonable fit between the data analysed and the proposed research model: SRMR (0.072), CR > 0.7, AVE > 0.5, Cronbach Alpha > 0.7, and VIF < 5. The study reveals that empowerment is a strong predictor of organizational performance than compensation. Moreover, employee commitment (mediate) partially contributes to organizational performance. HR practitioners may collect the employees’ data more regularly to learn if HR practices produce the desired commitment level to produce organizational performance. This study is limited to the Saudi universities and responders who participated in the questionnaire. Future studies should focus on other economic sectors to help generalize the research outcomes and validate the study’s hypothetical model.

Tourism industry plays an eminent role in the development of a country and is correlated with the economic growth of the economy. This research modelled the factors influencing tourists’ behavioural intentions tourism in Pakistan. Factors affecting the intentions of the tourists to visit a particular destination have been identified in this research. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires from respondents of various nationalities. Smart PLS has been used to apply SEM “Structural Equation Modelling approach” for hypothesis testing. The findings supported that destination satisfaction and destination attachment play an imperative role in the intentions of tourists to visit a location. More attached the visitors were with the destination, better the image they had of the destination, the satisfied they were with the destination and would therefore plan to visit it more often. The derivations from the analysis can play a pivot role in developing the policies and appropriate measures to enhance tourism industry in different countries. Attachment of the tourists and their image of the destination assumed a prominent role in their anticipation to visit Pakistan.

Meteorological export and deposition fluxes of Black Carbon on glaciers of the central Chilean Andes

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Air pollution in the central zone of Chile not only is a public health concern, but also threatens water resources and climate, in connection with the transport and deposition of black carbon (BC) from urban centers onto the glaciers of the Andes Cordillera. Chemistry-transport simulations reveal a seasonal dichotomy in the flux and latitudinal pattern of BC deposition on glaciers of the central Chilean Andes. The average deposition flux of BC on glaciers between 30° S and 37° S is 4 times larger in winter, affecting mostly low elevation glaciers, whereas the smaller summertime flux affects glaciers evenly, irrespective of their elevation. The contribution of emissions from Santiago city is dominant in summertime with more than 50 % along the Andes, but minor in wintertime with less than 20 % even close to the capital city. Transport at larger scales and more local sources likely account for the remaining flux. The superimposition of synoptic-scale circulation and local mountain-valley circulation along the Andes cordillera drives the differences between summertime and wintertime deposition fluxes and generates a greater meteorological export potential during summer months. Future emissions and climate projections suggest that under the RCP8.5 scenario the gap between summertime and wintertime BC export and deposition flux could decrease, thereby pointing to summertime emission control gaining relevance. The chemistry-transport modeling approach for BC deposition on the Andes sheds light on the importance of the often disregarded summertime emissions on the radiative balance of its glaciers, particularly in the vicinity of Santiago.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Gaseous pollutants at the ground level seriously threaten the urban air quality environment and public health. There are few estimates of gaseous pollutants that are spatially and temporally resolved and continuous over long periods in China. This study takes advantage of big data and artificial intelligence technologies to generate seamless daily maps of three major pollutant gases, i.e., NO2, SO2, and CO, across China from 2013 to 2020 at a uniform spatial resolution of 10 km. Cross-validation illustrated a high data quality on a daily basis for NO2, SO2, and CO, with mean out-of-bag coefficients of determination (root-mean-square errors) of 0.84 (7.99 μg/m3), 0.84 (10.7 μg/m3), and 0.80 (0.29 mg/m3), respectively. They have experienced significant declines and then recoveries during and after the COVID-19 lockdown associated with changes in anthropogenic emissions in eastern China, while surface CO recovered faster than SO2 and NO2. All gaseous pollutants decreased significantly by 0.23, 2.01, and 49 μg/m3 per year (p < 0.001) across China during 2013–2020, especially in three urban agglomerations. The declining rates were larger during 2013–2017 but slowed down in recent years. Both the areas and occurrence probabilities of days exceeding air quality standards also gradually shrank and weakened over time, especially for SO2 and CO, which almost disappeared during 2018–2020, suggesting significant improvements in air quality in China. This reconstructed dataset of surface gaseous pollutants, i.e., ChinaHighNO2, ChinaHighSO2, and ChinaHighCO, will benefit future (especially short-term) air pollution and environmental health-related studies.
Predicted and Observed Changes in Summertime Biogenic and Total Organic Aerosol in the Southeast United States from 2001 to 2010

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Biogenic secondary organic aerosol (bSOA) is a major component of atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) in the southeast United States especially during the summer, when emissions of biogenic volatile organic compound (VOCs) are high and emissions from anthropogenic sources enhance the formation of secondary particulate matter. We evaluate the performance of PM2.5 organic aerosol predictions by a chemical transport model (PMCAMx) in response to significant changes in anthropogenic emissions during the summers of 2001 and 2010. Average predicted bSOA concentrations in the southeast US did not change appreciably from the summer of 2001 to the summer of 2010, while the anthropogenic SOA decreased by 45 %. As a result, the biogenic fraction of total OA increased from 0.46 in 2001 to 0.63 in 2010. Partitioning effects due to reduced anthropogenic OA from 2001 resulted in 0.4 µg m-3 less biogenic OA on average in the southeast US in the summer of 2010. This was offset by biogenic SOA increases due to higher biogenic vapor emissions in the warmer 2010 summer. Little noticeable difference was observed in OA prediction performance in the southeast US between the two summer simulation periods. The fractional error of OA predictions remained practically the same (0.41 and 0.44 at CSN sites and 0.40 to 0.41 at IMPROVE sites in the summers of 2001 and 2010 respectively). The fractional bias of OA predictions increased from 0.10 to 0.22 at CSN sites and decreased from 0 to -0.09 at IMPROVE sites between the two periods. Removing the NOx-dependence of SOA formation yields resulted in higher fractional error and fractional bias at both CSN and IMPROVE sites in both summer periods, demonstrating the efficacy of the current formulation of SOA yields. Our analysis suggests that the changes in biogenic OA in this forested relatively polluted region appear to be dominated by the partitioning effects and the NOx effects on SOA yields.

Abstract. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the dramatic reduction of anthropogenic
emissions provided a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of
reduced anthropogenic activity and primary emissions on atmospheric chemical
processes and the consequent formation of secondary pollutants. Here, we
utilize comprehensive observations to examine the response of atmospheric
new particle formation (NPF) to the changes in the atmospheric chemical
cocktail. We find that the main clustering process was unaffected by the
drastically reduced traffic emissions, and the formation rate of 1.5 nm
particles remained unaltered. However, particle survival probability was
enhanced due to an increased particle growth rate (GR) during the lockdown
period, explaining the enhanced NPF activity in earlier studies. For GR at
1.5–3 nm, sulfuric acid (SA) was the main contributor at high temperatures,
whilst there were unaccounted contributing vapors at low temperatures. For
GR at 3–7 and 7–15 nm, oxygenated organic molecules (OOMs) played a
major role. Surprisingly, OOM composition and volatility were insensitive to
the large change of atmospheric NOx concentration; instead the
associated high particle growth rates and high OOM concentration during the
lockdown period were mostly caused by the enhanced atmospheric oxidative
capacity. Overall, our findings suggest a limited role of traffic emissions
in NPF.
How does the explicit treatment of convection alter the precipitation-soil hydrology interaction in the Holocene African humid period?
Authors: Jungandreas Leonore , Hohenegger Cathy , Claussen Martin
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Global climate models with coarse horizontal resolution are largely unable to reproduce the monsoonal precipitation pattern over North Africa during the mid-Holocene. Here we present the first regional, storm-resolving simulations with an idealized but reasonable mid-Holocene vegetation cover. In these simulations, the West African monsoon expand farther north by about 4–5° and the precipitation gradient between the Guinea coast and the Sahara decreases in comparison to simulations with a barren Sahara as it is today. The northward shift of monsoonal precipitation is caused by land surface – atmosphere interaction, i.e. the coupling of soil moisture and precipitation as well as interactions of the land surface with the large-scale monsoon circulation (e.g. the African easterly jet). We find a similar response of the monsoon circulation to an increase in vegetation cover in simulations with parameterized convection. Moreover, changes are even larger than in simulations with explicitly resolved convection (i.e. the storm-resolving simulations). We attribute the differences in monsoonal precipitation to differences in soil moisture that are strongly controlled by runoff and the precipitation characteristics as previously shown in Jungandreas et al. (2021). We confirm this by performing simulations with a constant soil moisture field in both explicitly resolved and parameterized convection simulations. In these simulations, explicitly resolved convection simulations expand precipitation as far north as parameterized convection simulations. This study thus highlights the importance of the type of rainfall in modulating land- atmosphere feedbacks, instead of only considering the amount of rainfall. Moreover, this study suggests that comprehensive land-surface schemes, which properly respond to varying precipitation characteristics, are needed for studying land-surface – atmosphere interaction
Combined Wind Lidar and Cloud Radar for Wind Profiling
Authors: Dias Neto José , Nuijens Louise , Unal Christine , Knoop Steven
Published: September 2022

Abstract. This paper introduces an experimental setup for retrieving horizontal wind speed and direction profiles by combining wind lidar and cloud radars and the 2 level datasets produced. The experiment took place in Cabauw, the Netherlands, between September 13th and October 3rd 2021. The intermediate processing steps for generating the Level 1 and Level 2 data, such as second trip echos filtering, offset correction, wind retrieval, re-gridding and flagging, are described. In Level 1 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6926483, Dias Neto (2022a)), the data from lidar and radars are kept in the original spatial and temporal resolution, while in Level 2 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6926605, Dias Neto (2022b)), they are re-grided to a common spatial and temporal resolution. Statistical analyses of the lidar’s and radar’s wind speed and direction profiles indicate a correlation higher than 0.95 for both variables, and the bias of wind direction and speed are 0.24° and -0.16 ms−1, respectively. Applications of this dataset include numerical model validation, momentum transport studies and spectral analysis for different cloud regimes.
Toward a general calibration of the Swiss plate geophone system for fractional bedload transport
Authors: Nicollier Tobias , Antoniazza Gilles , Ammann Lorenz , Rickenmann Dieter , Kirchner James W.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Substantial uncertainties in bedload transport predictions in
steep streams have encouraged intensive efforts towards the development of
surrogate monitoring technologies. One such system, the Swiss plate geophone
(SPG), has been deployed and calibrated in numerous steep channels, mainly
in the Alps. Calibration relationships linking the signal recorded by the
SPG system to the intensity and characteristics of transported bedload can
vary substantially between different monitoring stations, likely due to
site-specific factors such as flow velocity and bed roughness. Furthermore,
recent flume experiments on the SPG system have shown that site-specific
calibration relationships can be biased by elastic waves resulting from
impacts occurring outside the plate boundaries. Motivated by these
findings, we present a hybrid calibration procedure derived from flume
experiments and an extensive dataset of 308 direct field measurements at
four different SPG monitoring stations. Our main goal is to investigate the
feasibility of a general, site-independent calibration procedure for
inferring fractional bedload transport from the SPG signal. First, we use
flume experiments to show that sediment size classes can be distinguished
more accurately using a combination of vibrational frequency and amplitude
information than by using amplitude information alone. Second, we apply this
amplitude–frequency method to field measurements to derive general
calibration coefficients for 10 different grain-size fractions. The
amplitude–frequency method results in more homogeneous signal responses
across all sites and significantly improves the accuracy of fractional
sediment flux and grain-size estimates. We attribute the remaining
site-to-site discrepancies to large differences in flow velocity and discuss
further factors that may influence the accuracy of these bedload estimates.

Abstract. The Tien Shan glaciers, known as "Central Asia's Water Tower," have a direct influence on water resource management in downstream parched areas. The limited time periods of currently available observational climate datasets hamper an accurate examination of glacial changes in Central Asia in terms of long-term climate change implications. In this work, we analysed this change by combining tree-ring-based reconstructions of the Tuyuksu Glacier's high-altitude mass balance during the last 382 years with models of the future mass balance of this glacier until the year 2100 CE. The results show that mountain precipitation is an important force driving the cycles of the cryosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere in arid Central Asia. This driving force has broad coherence in spatiotemporal variation, with periodic cycles and decadal shifts caused by the North Atlantic Oscillation and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. The multi-model mean in CMIP6 suggests a downward trend in glacier mass balance until 2100, but this trend will be moderated by increased precipitation. The findings of the study could help to explain how the glacial mass balance has evolved in the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia throughout time and its relationship to other geosphere layers.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The largest floating tongue of Greenland’s ice sheet, Nioghalvfjerdsbræ, has so far been relatively stable with respect to areal retreat. Curiously, it experienced significant less thinning and ice flow acceleration than its neighbour Zacharias Isbræ. Draining more than 6 % of the ice sheet, Nioghalvfjerdsbræ might become a large contributor to sea level rise in the future. Therefore, the stability of the floating tongue is a focus of this study. We employ a suite of observational methods to detect recent changes. We found that the calving style has changed at the southern part of the eastern calving front from normal tongue-type calving to a crack evolution initiated at frontal ice rises reaching 5–7 km and progressing further upstream compared to 2010. The calving front area is further weakened by a substantial increase of a zone of fragments and open water at the tongue’s southern margin, leading to the formation of a narrow ice bridge. These geometric and mechanical changes are a precursor of instability of the floating tongue. We complement our study by numerical ice flow simulations to estimate the impact of future break-up or disintegration events on the ice discharge. These idealised scenarios reveal that a loss of the south-eastern area would lead to 1 % of increase of ice discharge at the grounding line, while a sudden collapse of the frontal area (46 % of the floating tongue area) will enhance the ice discharge by 8.3 % due to loss in buttressing.
Spatial characterization of near-surface structure and meltwater runoff conditions across Devon Ice Cap from dual-frequency radar reflectivity

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Melting and refreezing processes in the firn of Devon Ice Cap control meltwater infiltration and runoff across the ice cap, but their full spatial extent and effect on near-surface structure is difficult to measure with ground-based traverses or existing satellite remote sensing. Here, we derive the coherent component of the near-surface return from airborne ice-penetrating radar over Devon Ice Cap, Canadian Arctic, to characterize firn containing centimeter to meter-thick ice layers (i.e., ice slabs) formed from refrozen meltwater in firn. Comparison with reflectivities using a thin layer reflectivity model, informed by ground-based radar and firn core measurements, indicate that the coherent component is sensitive to the near-surface firn structure composed of quasi-specular ice and firn layers, limited by the bandwidth-constrained radar range resolution. By leveraging their differences in range resolution, we assess the use of dual-frequency airborne ice-penetrating radar to characterize the spatial and vertical near-surface structure of Devon Ice Cap. Our results suggest that average ice slab thickness throughout the Devon Ice Cap percolation zone ranges from 4.2 to 5.6 m. This implies conditions that can enable lateral meltwater runoff and potentially contribute to the total surface runoff routed through supraglacial rivers down glacier. Together with the incoherent component of the surface return previously studied, our dual-frequency approach provides an alternative method for characterizing bulk firn properties, particularly where ground-based and higher frequency radar data are not available.

Law in a ‘Simulated’ Universe: The Educative Value of the Metaphor
Authors: Dent Chris
Published: September 2022

There are challenges to teaching law and legal theory to law students in the new millennium. It is a digital world, and the assumptions and foundations of the law do not mesh well with the shifts in identities and communities that are now in evidence. The idea of our universe being a simulation can be used as a metaphor to engage with digital natives about the fundamental uncertainty in the relationship between the law and the individual. The law and the legal theories of even the twentieth century do not suit the fluidity of today’s youth. Considering the metaphor of a simulated reality offers a ‘hook’ for conversations around ‘proper conduct’ across multiple communities of identity. It is not Truth, as it all may be simulated; instead, the necessary uncertainty around the possibility allows challenges and acceptances without the need for harsh Enlightenment.
Comunidad discursiva y felicidad en la publicidad de Coca-Cola en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Urbina Fonturbel Raúl , Portela Lopa Antonio
Published: September 2022

En el presente artículo se aborda la construcción de una comunidad discursiva desde la publicidad de Coca-Cola, así como las modificaciones en su discurso persuasivo durante la pandemia del COVID-19. Se analizan, en primer lugar, cinco anuncios emitidos durante la pandemia. Posteriormente, se delimitan los rasgos discursivos que comparten estas obras, que revelan la intensificación del discurso mítico, presente ya de manera moderada en campañas anteriores. Este hecho permite valorar cabalmente esta serie de anuncios a la luz de las teorías de Gilbert Durand. Desde el punto de vista formal, permite explicar los procesos de reelaboración que se operan sobre la memoria discursiva presente en este corpus, como los que se dan en la identificación de la marca con la felicidad. Desde el punto de vista referencial, propicia que sea contextualizada la presencia de símbolos culturalmente recurrentes, que, influidos por las circunstancias, se concretan en lo que denominamos Resilience Halo.
Análisis automático de la complejidad sintáctica de textos escolares
Authors: Ibáñez Orellana Romualdo , Zamora Osorio Juan , Cisnero Correa Mariela , Aguirre Rozas Solange
Published: September 2022

El   objetivo   del   presente   estudio   fue comparar, por medio de una herramienta de análisis automático,  la complejidad sintáctica de los textos utilizados para comunicar el conocimiento en los textos escolares de tres asignaturas de educación básica o primaria (Lenguaje y Comunicación, Ciencias Naturales e Historia Geografía y Ciencias Sociales). Para ello, se recolectó un corpus compuesto por 2121 instancias del género Exposición de Contenido (Ibáñez, Moncada, Cornejo  y Arriaza, 2017), presentes en los textos escolares de sexto, séptimo y octavo básico, entregados por el Estado de Chile a las y los estudiantes de colegios públicos. Tales instancias fueron sometidas a un análisis automático, por medio de un algoritmo que permite identificar las relaciones de dependencia sintáctica entre los constituyentes de una oración y, del mismo modo, calcular la Longitud de Dependencia Sintáctica (LDS) promedio de la misma. Los resultados revelaron que la LDS promedio de los textos analizados, correspondientes a diferentes cursos y asignaturas es homogéneamente baja. Del mismo modo, se observó que no existe un patrón de complejización a medida que avanzan los cursos. También quedó en evidencia que, si bien no fue posible apreciar patrones disciplinares que permitieran determinar la existencia de asignaturas con mayor CS, si existe una tendencia que sitúa a Historia Geografía y Ciencias Sociales como la más compleja de las asignaturas analizadas, en términos de configuración sintáctica.
Implicaciones socioculturales del uso de la expresión mujer transexual (trans) en el discurso periodístico en Andalucía
Authors: Alcaide Lara Esperanza R.
Published: September 2022

En este trabajo, nos centramos en el estudio de la configuración de la imagen social de un colectivo que, a pesar de los avances socioculturales de los últimos tiempos, se sigue manteniendo si no estigmatizado, sí marcado por una parte de la sociedad: la mujer transexual o trans. A este señalamiento como miembros “extraños” de la sociedad, contribuye la forma en la que los medios de comunicación presentan a estas mujeres, y la relación que se establece entre las formas de ser nombradas y los acontecimientos a los que estos nombres se asocian.

Analizamos las estructuras bajo las que aparecen designadas las mujeres transexuales en la prensa de ámbito andaluz, y comprobamos que la elección léxica y el funcionamiento sintáctico de dichas estructuras producen una serie de efectos sociales que llegan a determinar la imagen que se proyecta de estas personas, y su propia identidad.

El corpus utilizado está constituido por noticias, reportajes y entrevistas que han aparecido en diarios, tanto en formato papel como digital, de ámbito regional y local, así como diarios nacionales, con tirada específica en Andalucía, entre enero de 2020 y diciembre de 2021.

El marco teórico en el que se inserta el trabajo es fundamentalmente la Pragmática Sociocultural, sin olvidar aspectos de la Lingüística Pragmática (Teoría de la Argumentación), con enfoques y presupuestos propios del Análisis Crítico del Discurso.
Pakistan Talibanı ve Pakistan’ın Ulusal Güvenliğine Etkileri
Authors: YAŞAR Mahmut
Published: September 2022

Pakistan has a common history with the Indian Sub-continent, which has a geostrategic location and natural richness and is home to many civilizations, cultures and states. It was founded in 1947 after Britain left the region, but due to the border conflict with India, it faced many problems as conflicts occurred. The invasion of Afghanistan by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Twin Tower attacks on September 11, 2001 are two events that deeply affected Pakistan as well as neighboring Afghanistan. Pakistan had to deal with many problems after these two events, which were the main reason for the ongoing active problems in the region, and went through a period of civil war. The main reason for these conflicts is the foreign fighters who immigrated from Afghanistan and took shelter in the tribes region of Pakistan after the military operation carried out by the USA in Afghanistan, and the Pashtun people hosting these fighters and Pakistan's conflict. As a matter of fact, as a result of this conflict, the Pakistani Taliban was established, and then there was a series of events that affected Pakistan's national security. Keywords: Pakistan, 9/11, Pakistani Taliban, al-Qaeda, USA

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT DISCOURSE IN THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY
Authors: Munandar Aris
Published: September 2022

This paper is a literature study on issues, concepts, and strategies for empowerment in the discourse of development in Indonesia. The discourse of community empowerment in Indonesia's national development, in principle, is not something new. Philosophically and normatively, the ideals of community empowerment as the goal of national development have been strengthened in the 1945 Constitution as the constitutional foundation of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. However, at the practical level, these ideal goals are not implemented in the implementation of the national development program. Poverty and inequality are still crucial issues, even though the Reformation era, which represents a democratic government, has been running for two decades.
CAPITAL COMPARISON OF CANDIDATES FROM POLITICAL DYNASTIES IN THE 2020 MAYORAL AND DEPUTY MAYORAL ELECTION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Sadiyatunnimah Siti
Published: September 2022

This study was conducted to compare the capital owned by candidates from political dynasties in the 2020 mayor and deputy mayor elections and make a generalization about which capital turns out to be the most influential in the election. The study is a comparative research which uses the Large-N, a method that compares cases in a broad area and a large number, with 28 candidates from political dynasties as the objects. The conclusion of this study is that the dynasties owned by candidates do not seem to mean much in the 2020 mayor and deputy mayor elections. The victories of candidates from political dynasties were influenced by various combinations of capital. No capital is more influential than other capital because ownership of capital will not mean much if the candidate does not have a good enough strategy in using that capital to attract voters.

Authors: Zamakda Allison Safwaan
Published: September 2022

This research aims to examine (a) the historical context of the Moroccan Green March and (b) the impact of this profound social, political, economic, military, and religious event on modern day Moroccan society and culture. this research adopted a mixed-methods approach, with the qualitative approach being substantially dominant, so that the authentic and unfettered views of Moroccan citizens can be presented. In respect of statecraft, the Kingdom of Morocco has performed admirably. As per the US Department of State, “The Kingdom of Morocco claims the territory of Western Sahara and administers the territory that it controls”. This shows that the Green March has led to concrete steps, on the ground action, and the development of the region. It is further stated that “Moroccan law and practice apply [in Western Sahara]. The impetus for this action came from within society, not from the Monarch of government. The Green March has a substantial effect on Moroccan society to this day, and songs are sung about it (such as ‘Sawt El Hassan’) and postage stamps are issued to commemorate the momentous event.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE'S INVOLVEMENT IN CAMPAIGNING THE ANTI-RACISM MOVEMENT
Authors: Yubel Novrel Esa , Reuspatyono Reuspatyono
Published: September 2022

The issue of racism is still common, especially in the black race. Black people are often subjected to discriminatory treatment, such as violence to slurs. The death of George Floyd in 2020 adds to the dark history of racism, and this has further strengthened the campaign against the importance of anti-racism to black citizens through the slogan "Black Lives Matter". The spread of this slogan has made this campaign spread to transnational society, including the administrators and athletes in the English Premier League (EPL). This research focuses on discussing the role of the EPL in the anti-racism movement through the Black Lives Matter campaign, where the research question is: "how is the implementation of the involvement of the English Premier League in campaigning for the anti-racism movement through the "Black Lives Matter" Campaign in the 2019/2020 Season?". The purpose of this study is to explain the role of the EPL in the anti-racism movement through the “Black Lives Matter” campaign, as well as the implementation of its campaign. This study uses a literature study data collection technique, with secondary data sources from books or reports, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. This research is based on the theory of the British School as well as the concept of Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs), both of which are used as analytical instruments. Based on the analysis, it is found that the role of EPL in supporting the “Black Lives Matter” campaign is very explicit. This can be seen in the support from the league management (CEO), to the coaches and players. The EPL campaigns in three forms, namely: changing the name on the uniform with the words “Black Lives Matter”, installing a slogan logo on the uniform, as well as kneeling on one leg while holding hands up before the match starts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the EPL's role in campaigning for the “Black Lives Matter” issue is manifested through real actions that refer directly to the slogan campaign.
