Authors: Fabella Frederick Edward T. , Agascon Noriel V. , Litao David M.
Published: August 2023

Previous studies have established how burnout among teachers can adversely affect their job performance and may even lead to aggression. This study attempted to establish the level of burnout among teachers and their aggression, and whether or not there is a relationship between these two variables. 47 public school teachers volunteered to participate in this study. They were asked to answer the Aggression Questionnaire, which measures Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger Aggression and Hostility Aggression and the Teacher Burnout questionnaire. The data revealed that the respondents have low Physical Aggression, neither low nor high Verbal Aggression, low Anger Aggression and low Hostility Aggression. They also exhibited low Teacher Burnout. Furthermore, it was found that Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger Aggression and Hostility Aggression do not influence Teacher Burnout and vice versa.

Bu çalışmada başta çok uluslu şirketler olmak üzere yaptıkları doğrudan ve dolaylı yatırımlarda bir finansal aracı gibi önemli bir vergi avantajı sağlamak için kullanılan Vergi planlaması uygulamalarına sınırlama getiren kurumlar kavramsal bir çerçevede incelenerek bu uygulamaların vergi planlaması üzerinde etkili olup olmadığı tartışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda önce vergi planlamasının ne olduğu ve amacına değinilmiş daha sonra da başta OECD ülkelerinin uyguladığı matrah aşındırması ve kârın kaydırılması (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting-BEPS) projesi kapsamındaki vergi planlamasına sınırlama getiren kurumlar irdelenmiş daha sonra da Türkiye’ye mahsus vergi planlamasının yapılmasına engel olan kurumlara değinilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışmanın sonucunda vergi planlamasını önlemek için kullanılan bazı kısıtlamaların firmaların hem mali yapılarını hem organizasyonel ve vergisel yapılarını olumsuz etkileyebildiği tespit edilmiş ve bu yapılacak düzenlemeler ile bu kısıtlamaların kapsamının uygulamada yaşanılan sorunlar kapsamında daha net belirlenmesi ve yaşanılan sorunlara ilişkin çözümler bulunması önerilmiştir.
“TÁ VENDO AQUELE EDIFÍCIO, MOÇO? AJUDEI A LEVANTAR”: ECOS DA RALÉ BRASILEIRA E O ESTADO DE BEM-ESTAR SOCIAL
Authors: Lima Wesley
Published: August 2023

O presente estudo visa discorrer sobre a tessitura das desigualdades sociais no Brasil, engendradas a partir da colonização, da escravidão e do extermínio de povos em solo brasileiro, relacionando-as com o Estado de bem-estar social. Objetiva-se analisar a trajetória do povo brasileiro partindo da invasão dos europeus na ilha Brasil, tendo como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica com o uso de livros clássicos e artigos que versam sobre o tema. Ademais, o material coletado e as análises realizadas demonstraram que o Brasil, apesar de ser um território copioso em diversidade cultural, étnica e social, mantém as cicatrizes da colonização e do escravismo, estas que podem ser observadas com base nos índices de pobreza, desemprego e na estrutura das periferias em grandes centros urbanos, formando uma ralé brasileira, excluída e desigual, resultantes das mazelas do colonialismo.

Authors: Marcomini Gilson Rogério , Acras Teodoro Valquiria
Published: August 2023

A produção de leite é considerada uma das principais atividades agropecuárias do Brasil, mas enfrenta diversos problemas como a sazonalidade na produção e oscilações quanto ao preço de mercado, baixa produtividade e custos elevados. Diante desse cenário buscou-se compreender a rentabilidade em cada região produtora no país através de um diagnóstico econômico-financeiro da produção leiteira. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de identificar e analisar os componentes que exercem maior representatividade financeira sobre a produção, custos, preços e faturamento na atividade leiteira no Brasil, além do impacto de cada um deles na economia do país. Identificou-se também as maiores regiões produtoras de leite no Brasil e no mundo bem como o contexto atual do mercado (exportação e importação). As informações foram coletadas através de dados existentes nas bases dos sistemas IBGE-Sidra, CONAB, CEPEA entre os anos de 2014 a 2020 sendo processadas através de planilhas eletrônicas e analisadas através de ferramentas estatísticas de “Regressão Linear Múltipla (RLM)” bem como da “Análise Horizontal (AH)”.
ORÍKÌ
Authors: Idrissou Alex Kévin Ouessou
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo é um resultado parcial de pesquisas e reflexões de estudos sobre as epistemologias yorùbá1 como herança nas tradições orais africanas das Américas na tentativa de reconstrução do caminho da “palavra viva” que trouxeram as memórias e cosmovisões do continente africano, mais particularmente ao Brasil, revelando suas peculiaridades e importâncias.  A partir das minhas recordações e experiências com minha avó materna, Arugbá, carinhosamente chamada Dàádáà, no norte do Benim, na cidade de Parakou, e de análise de alguns poemas yorùbá, em guisa de ilustração, aspectos socioculturais são abordados para tratar um fenômeno comunicativo identitário de saudações fortemente presente nas comunidades yorùbá, em sua vizinhança e nas Américas: Oríkì. O faço sob luz dos estudos sobre tradição oral e historiografia africana de Joseph Ki-Zerbo (2010) e Amadou Hampaté Bâ (2010); também a partir dos textos de Ayoh’Omidire (2020, 2005), Idrissou (2020), recentes trabalhos sobre Oríkì no Brasil. Percebeu-se que oríkì manifesta-se no Brasil de forma multifacética (em poesias, cânticos, orações...) como uma arte verbal rica e interessante que mobiliza jogos de tradução, conhecimentos socioculturais e até religiosos.

El objetivo fue estimar la probabilidad de gasto catastrófico en salud y evaluar las implicaciones para la política sanitaria del país. La fuente de información es la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de 2019, versión del mayor de edad, la cual consta de 17,997 registros y es un estudio multicéntrico de ámbito nacional.  Se estimó el riesgo relativo (Odd Ratio) mediante un modelo Logit condicionado a la tenencia de seguro social, con base en el cual se estimaron las probabilidades de gasto catastrófico en salud en que la educación y la condición laboral, que demostraron ser los factores más significativos de incidencia en el gasto catastrófico. El gasto catastrófico en salud es uno de los determinantes sociales más importantes que pueden llevar a la pobreza a muchas familias no sólo en Panamá, sino también en países desarrollados. Por esta razón, las políticas sanitarias deben focalizarse en el acceso universal a los servicios de salud. En conclusión, la seguridad social, estar ocupado y tener una mayor educación, son los tres determinantes fundamentales para evitar el riesgo de gasto catastrófico en salud. Ello implica que la discusión sobre la reforma del sistema sanitario, en especial sobre la seguridad social, tenga como objetivo garantizar la cobertura y acceso de la población a los servicios en salud, lo cual implica que el mercado laboral tenga la capacidad de sustituir el empleo informal por empleo formal, y ello debe ser el centro del debate en la actualidad.

Fragmentos metodológicos para projetos e execução de gestão informatizada de coleções de documentos e serviços em bibliotecas
Authors: Paranhos Wanda Maria Maia da Rocha
Published: August 2023

A informatização de bibliotecas e similares (centros de informação e/ou documentação) depende de decisões sobre as tecnologias de informação e de comunicação (TICs) quanto a software operacional, software aplicativo, software gerenciador de banco de dados, equipamentos e rede de comunicação. E de decisões na área de Biblioteconomia quanto à criação e gestão dos dados bibliográficos que propiciam a prestação dos serviços, em especial quanto a funcionalidades do software aplicativo e aderência a padrões. Os padrões mais importantes são o AACR2, MARC/XML, norma ISO2709 e protocolo de comunicação z39.50. A aderência a estes padrões influi nos custos finais do projeto. O custo de construção da base de dados bibliográfica pode ser o elemento mais caro do projeto, com diminuição de custos com uso dos padrões e dos recursos informacionais disponibilizados gratuitamente na Internet. Quanto maior o acervo, mais expressiva é a economia conseguida com esta metodologia, sem prejuízo das diretrizes locais na construção da base. Em anexo é apresentada uma lista sintética exemplificativa da variedade de soluções disponíveis no Brasil, assim como um exemplo de lista básica de itens a observar em softwares integrados para gestão de bibliotecas.

Konsep Sufi Sejati dalam Kitab Utama Tarekat di Indonesia: Studi atas Kitab Al-Risālah Al-Qusyairiyyah
Authors: Aly Mashar
Published: August 2023

This paper examines one of the most popular Sufism books among Sufism akhlāqī, the al-Risālah al-Qusyairiyyah by Imām al-Qusyairi. More specifically, it is about the concept of True Sufi, or what is often referred to as al-Insān al-Kāmil, according to the great figure of Sufism whose views are widely followed by Hujjatul Islam al-Ghazali, Imām al-Qusyairi. The result of this study is that al-Qusyairi does not clearly explain in his book the concept of 'True Sufi’, but from the many explanations contained in the book, especially in the chapter of Taşawwūf, which contains the definitions of Sufism according to Sufi figures, and also the expression of al-Qusyairi respect for the earlier Sufis found in the introduction to the book, then it can be concluded that the 'True Sufis' according to al-Qusyairi are: have a solid aqidah, practice all the teachings of sharia, always seek to cleanse oneself -both żāhir and bāṭin- from despicable morals and adorn oneself with the morals of the Prophet, always hope to be close to Allah 'taqarrub ilā Allāh’, and be the source of the protector of all beings on earth.

Gathering and disseminating lessons learned in construction companies to support knowledge management
Authors: Debs Luciana , Hubbard Bryan
Published: August 2023

The importance of knowledge management (KM) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has risen with the improvement of information and communication technologies. However, the construction industry still struggles to capture and disseminate lessons learned. The present research explores this issue by using interviews and an online questionnaire, to provide updated information on lesson-learned procedures and their challenges in United States (US) construction companies. To do this, the authors have gathered industry professionals’ perceptions about lessons learned and methods used in their companies for harnessing and disseminating the knowledge generated by them. Our findings indicate that post-project evaluations are frequently conducted, utilize a two-step approach (review of materials followed by meetings), and are mainly organized by project managers. Most often, only key project team members are present in meetings to create a safe environment for discussion. Moreover, our findings echo previous research on the dissemination and reuse of lessons learned, indicating that these procedures are scattered and, most of the time, the information is not effectively reutilized. This suggests that US construction companies still need to revisit how information from lessons learned is currently being harnessed, stored, and especially shared (within and between companies) so that information can be effectively transformed into knowledge that can advance the AEC industry's productivity.
Religious Diversity at Work: Faith-Based Employee Resource Groups
Authors: Chung Helen H. , Johnson Alexander E. , Tan Christine S. , Pitman Benjamin C.
Published: August 2023

Research on affinity and employee resource groups (ERG) in organizations is growing but remains relatively sparse for religious or faith-based groups. This study is a phenomenological analysis of interview data from 26 individuals in organizations leading and managing faithbased employee
resource groups in public and private organizations primarily in the U. S. Based on a thematic analysis of 26 individual interviews across Christian and Interfaith ERGs in technology, consulting, and other industries, the data illustrate how groups organize, their core identity-related activities,
salient challenges and strategies, and perceived outcomes at the personal and organizational levels. Overall, the phenomenology of faithbased groups points to several implicit and explicit benefits as well as challenges of religious expression at work. We discuss the perceived personal and
organizational outcomes of faith-based ERGs, explore how social identity theory helps explain key experiences described by ERG members, and offer some potential directions for future research.
A systematic review on the effectiveness of manipulation and mobilisation in the treatment of osteoarthritis
Authors:   , Khamissa Ahmed
Published: August 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an increasing condition globally as the population ages and the number of elderly increases. However, there is a lack of relevant evidence-based guidelines for manual therapy in the treatment of OA especially involving OA of the spine, wrist, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the glenohumeral joint (GHJ). A systematic review organises and critiques literature in a more concise form for practitioners. This study aimed to briefly provide practitioners the evidence available on the effectiveness of manipulation and mobilisation on OA. Methods: A systematic review of available literature was performed using keywords including “manipulation”; “mobilization”; “manual therapy” and “osteoarthritis”; “spondylosis”; “degenerative joint disease”; “degenerative disc disease”. The database searches were through CINAHL, DUT summons, Google scholar, Pubmed and Scopus. Following a screening using inclusion criteria, 20 articles were chosen for review. Each of the studies were than reviewed by three reviewers using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, the PEDRO scale, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scale for case series and the JBI scale for case reports. These scales evaluated the methodological rigour (internal validity) of the chosen articles. In addition, the external validity was determined through a critique of each article. The internal and external validity formed the basis for decisions on the level of evidence provided in support of manual therapy. Results: Of those chosen articles, 13 provided evidence of treatment programmes and could not contribute to evidence specific to mobilisation and manipulation. In contrast, four articles assessed the efficacy of mobilisation, one study assessed the efficacy of manipulation, and two studies assessed the efficacy of neural mobilisation. There was moderate evidence in support of mobilisation on thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) OA, but only limited evidence in support of its use on cervical spine OA and no evidence in support of its use on lumbar spine OA, GHJ OA and TMJ OA. Manipulation was suggested to have moderate to limited evidence in support of its use on lumbar spine OA, but no evidence for cervical spine OA. Neural mobilisation was suggested to have limited evidence in support of its use for treating thumb CMC OA. Conclusion: It was evident in this systematic review that there is limited evidence for mobilisation, manipulation and neural mobilisation. Further research is required to expand on the limited areas, as well as strengthen the current evidence for clinical use.
Exploring the role of court interpreters in Kwazulu-Natal province of South Africa
Authors:   , Simelane Bhekizenzo Ben
Published: August 2023

In South Africa, court interpreters are guided by the professional ethics (Code of Ethics). This has resulted in magistrates and judges not forming their own opinions as to what the role of court interpreters is but to make it easier for both parties to understand each other’s role. As such, court interpreters do not find themselves performing tasks that are outside their scope of duties. This study employs a qualitative research methodology. To provide answers, one on one interviews, participant observation and document analysis were used to collect data in the Durban Magistrate Court. Durban, the location of the research, is an urban area situated in Southern KwaZulu-Natal. The aim of the present study is to explore how court interpreters enact their roles based on professional ethics (code of ethics) in KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. The researcher followed the interpretivism approach. In the top-down approach, two legislations, namely, “The court interpreters code of conduct” and “The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 93 of 1996 (as amended)”, were examined to determine if court interpreters understand their role and to what extent? In the bottom-up approach, examples of court proceedings were studied in order to determine specific roles that are played by court interpreters during trials. Extracts from transcripts of mechanically recorded court interpreter’s interviews were also analysed. This study will shed lighter on the role of court interpreters which could lead to improved interpreting.

The removal of fuel subsidy has emerged as a persistent issue in the second quarter of Nigeria's Fourth Republic. Despite the long-term benefits of the policy, Nigerians have consistently resisted attempts by the regime to revert to it. However, this government policy has received negative feedbacks from the public, public institutions, professional associations, and labour unions. The recent pronouncement by the newly inaugurated administration of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President elect of the Federal Republic has resulted to high prices of petrol and transportation fares all over the nation, even if it has not been fully implemented. It is based on this development that this study examined the benefits and challenges of fuel subsidy relapse on national economy. Descriptive analysis was adopted, and qualitative method of data collection was utilised to collect data for the study. Secondary sources of data, notably, books, journals, dailies, periodicals, and internet materials were utilized to obtain data. It was found out that several attempts by the previous administrations to reverse fuel subsidy policy have high negative effects on the citizens because prices of petroleum products, food items and transportation increases. The study recommends among others that the central government should pay special attention to the effects of the policy on the masses by providing palliatives to alleviate the sufferings of the people. In addition, government should provide steady electricity, regulate prices of goods and services, including transportation fare and provide adequate social amenities and infrastructures to cushion its effects on the citizens.

The quality of human life depends on the quality of the human environment. It is essential to have a healthy environmental condition for the survival of the human being. Cleanliness is a prerequisite for a better and safer environment. Without ensuring cleanliness, it is considerably difficult to preserve a healthy human environment. But the perennial question that arises, is- how to successfully strike a balance between preserving the environment; ensuring cleanliness, and continuing development in the most effective manner. The obvious answer is through environmental governance, based on the principle of sustainable development. In India, this objective has been realized by introducing a programme named Swachh Bharat Mission. As behaviourial changes remain the main issue here, India introduced Swachh Vidyalaya under the banner of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to inculcate the values of sanitation, hygiene, health, and awareness among the students of various schools in India. The government believed that the schools may play a pivotal role as they train, and nurture future Indian citizens. Amidst this backdrop, the present article will focus on the importance of the environment, the concept of sustainable development, Swach Bharat Mission and Swachh Vidyalaya and the role played by the schools as a game changer as far as the environmental governance is concerned. The article will end with a case study of the schools of West Bengal and will try to analyze how far schools are able to play a positive role in achieving Swach Bharat Mission and eventually sustainable development.
