An investigation of selected financial management fundamentals influencing financial stability of small and medium enterprises in Durban
Authors:   , Mbatha Nonhlanhla Patricia
Published: July 2022

This study investigates the influence of the selected financial management fundamentals towards the financial stability of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Durban. The SMEs play an important role in the South African economy, by developing new skills. The study was descriptive and quantitative in nature. The tool used in collecting data was a questionnaire, which was self-administered and distributed at the business location of the respondents, with a minimal number of respondents receiving the questionnaire after it was scanned and emailed to them. The respondents consist of following different sectors of SMEs in Durban; trading, manufacturing, industry and Accounting firms. The results obtained were based on the supporting objectives of the study. The findings achieved show that financial reporting contributes indirectly towards the financial stability of the business. The study found that the lack of understanding of financial reporting and insufficient financial experience would have an influence on the financial stability of SMEs. Factors that were found to affect the credibility of financial reporting include poor administrative control of resources, as well as a lack of accurate information and financial data, which results in incorrect financial reports. Other factors found, in establishing the contribution and relationship between financial reporting and financial stability, include: lack of knowledge, lack of financial control processes, and weak cooperation among staff, with training, education, and financial reports management, as well as upgrading and modification of the accounting system The majority of the respondents have experience in the finance sector, and while most have access to training, there are little or no follow-up programmes by internal or external users of financial reports, such as shareholders, banks or the government. As a result, recommendations are made to develop short accounting programmes that will allow owners and accounting staff to gain practical experience in the financial reporting background, which will enable an increase in the level of understanding of financial reporting processes and usability of allocating financial information correctly.
Factors affecting job satisfaction of academic employees : a case study of the National University of Lesotho
Authors:   , Moloantoa Mateko Edith
Published: July 2022

While research has been conducted, with regard to job satisfaction all over the world, no research has been done on the various factors affecting job satisfaction of academic employees, with specific reference to the National University of Lesotho (NUL). Therefore, the understanding of these factors are clearly defined and explained, in order to help university administrators to improve academic performance and attract well-qualified academics into the university. Factors affecting job satisfaction of academic employees at the NUL include, working conditions, relationship with colleagues, and access to resources, job security, recognition and advancement. The sample consisted of 156 respondents, who were selected using the Supercool Random Generator Software and were required to complete a questionnaire, with an interviewer present to assist. Respondents were asked to complete a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. A mixed approach of both quantitative and qualitative techniques was used, while the analysis of primary data was done using SPSS, version 21.0. The results were presented by figures from Microsoft Excel and gross tabulation tables. The findings of the study indicated that there was a positive significance to the NUL academic staff regarding salaries, as a factor influencing their job satisfaction. The results also indicated that there are insufficient financial resources to support teaching, learning and research at the NUL. However, the results further revealed that, besides all the dissatisfaction shown by academics, in terms of aspects, such as benefits, allowances, lack of equipment, as well as poor institutional management, there were good relations between departments, and they work as a team. Therefore, the findings from this study can assist university administrators and academics to increase the job satisfaction levels of employees.
Stability Analysis of Bitcoin using Recurrence Quantification Analysis
Authors: ÜNAL Baki
Published: July 2022

Cryptocurrencies are new kinds of electronic currencies based on communication technologies. These currencies have attracted the attention of investors. However, cryptocurrencies are very volatile and unpredictable. For investors, it is very difficult to make investment decisions in cryptocurrency market. Therefore, revealing changes in the dynamics of cryptocurrencies are valuable for investors. Bitcoin is the most popular and representative cryptocurrency in cryptocurrency market. In this study how dynamical properties of Bitcoin changed through time is analyzed with recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). RQA is a pattern recognition-based time series analysis method that reveals dynamics of the time series by calculating some metrics called RQA measures. This method has been successfully applied to nonlinear, nonstationary, short and chaotic time series and does not assume a statistical model. RQA can reveal important properties of time series data such as determinism, laminarity, stability, randomness, regularity and complexity. By using sliding window RQA we show that in 2021 RQA measures for Bitcoin prices collapse and Bitcoin becomes more unpredictable, more random, more unstable, more irregular and less complex. Therefore, dynamics and stability of the Bitcoin prices significantly changed in 2021.

Experimental Investigation of Steel Connections
Authors: Ali Kiramat , Ali Sajjad , Jan Musa
Published: July 2022

Experimental results and comparative study has proven to be core for the foundation and development of structural and earthquake engineering. In the recent past, various research has been carried out from full scale to scaled model prototypes on the evaluation of weld and bolt steel connections. Reversal stresses that occur within milliseconds make beam-column connections most vulnerable to lateral loads when exposed. It would result in failure and catastrophe if not designed and erected correctly. The capability to transfer forces through the joint is the index to keep the structure safe and sound to avoid progressive collapse in the case of buildings. It is clear now that failure of beam-column joint will ultimately lead to structural damage, so the importance is self-evident.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. This study aimed to investigate the olive, iconic tree of the Mediterranean basin, seasonality of (Hg) mercury pollution. Hg concentrations of foliage, stems, soil surface, and litter were analyzed on monthly basis in ancient olive trees growing in two groves in Lebanon, Bchaaleh and Kawkaba (1300 and 672 m.a.s.l respectively). A significantly lower concentration was registered in stems (~7–9 ng/g) with respect to foliage (~35–48 ng/g) in both sites with the highest foliage Hg concentration in late winter-early spring and the lowest in summer. It is noteworthy that olive fruits also have the lowest Hg concentration (~7–11 ng/g). The soil has the highest Hg content (~62–129 ng/g) likely inherited through the cumulated litter biomass (~ 63–76 ng/g). good covariation observed between our foliage Hg time-series analysis and those of pCO2 and Hg concentrations of the atmospheric Northern hemisphere confirms that mercury pollution can be studied through olive trees. More precisely, spring sampling is recommended if the objective is to assess the tree's susceptibility to Hg uptake. This may draw an adequate baseline for global inventories on Hg vegetation uptake and for new studies on olive trees in the Mediterranean for reconstructing regional Hg pollution concentrations in the past and present.

Content Validation of a Situational Judgment Test of Manager’s Integrity: A Qualitative Approach
Authors: Rafique Amna , Ghazal Dr Saima
Published: July 2022

Leader’s integrity appears to be a significant predictor of their effectiveness (Moorman et al., 2012), however, little empirical evidence has been found to address this relationship. It may be due, partly, to unavailability of sound assessment tools in this area. Current research describes development and content validation of a situational judgement test to assess manager’s integrity that will have potential benefits over existing unidimensional and Likert-type perceptual measures (Becker, 2005; Craig & Gustafson, 1998; Mills & Boardley,  2017). Ten managers and 7 subordinates from multinational organizations were interviewd for generating context specific siatuations and associated responses. Initially, 31 situations and associated 6-7 responses were extracted from interviews. Two independent rounds of subject matter experts (SMEs) reviews resulted in 22 situations and 3-5 associated responses. Finally, 16 situations and 3-5 associated responses were retained after calculating item content validity index (I-CVI) and scale validity index (S-CVI). The resulting test, labeled the manager’s integrity-SJT, displayed high content validity. Thus, present study advances research in the field of leadership by developing a situational judgements test for assessing manager’s integrity towards their subordinates that is pertinent predictor of leadership effectiveness (Moorman, et al., 2012).
Friendship Functions in Emerging Adults in Post COVID-19 Era-A Preliminary Exploration
Authors: Durrani Areeha Khan , Saleem Dr Muhammad
Published: July 2022

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has affected all spheres of human life without any exception. Friendship is considered a shield against odds, but some changes are observed in friendship patterns and functions of friendship in emerging adults of Pakistan. This significant change encouraged the researchers to design this qualitative study in an indigenous context. Two homogenous focus groups were conducted with educated emerging adults (10 males and 10 females in each group recruited purposefully from Punjab Province only). They were screened before induction and responses were audio-taped with their consent. After collection of data, transcription was finalized in the light of Humble (2015).  The transcribed data were analyzed through six step Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) technique by Braun and Clarke (2019). Rigor of the data was also ensured according to Guba and Lincoln (1994). Resultantly, we arrive at a uniform definition of friendship and six emergent themes of friendship functions (being empathetic, flexibility, supportive, help and assistance, sharing and problem solving, and companionship). Further, findings of the study showcased that COVID-19 has negatively influenced the friendship functions by decreasing interdependence among friends that triggered loneliness and social isolation in emerging adults. COVID-19 has lasting effects on those friendship patterns which used to be visible until today. It is further recommended to expand this study on emerging adults of overall Pakistan to establish baseline data.
They:Live, memoria de los estudiantes universitarios (1945-2022). Un proyecto fotográfico de arte contextual
Authors: Torres Hortelano Lorenzo Javier , Díaz Lucena Antonio
Published: July 2022

Presentamos un resumen de la investigación que estamos llevando a cabo a través del proyecto internacional “They:Live - Student lives revealed through context-based art practices” en el marco del programa de ayudas de Europa Creativa y en el que participan seis países europeos. El objetivo fue recopilar fotografías de la vida de los estudiantes en diversos campus universitarios desde la II Guerra Mundial hasta la actualidad. De entre todo el corpus recopilado hicimos una selección a partir de las cuales realizamos entrevistas a sus protagonistas para que nos relatasen la intrahistoria de las fotos seleccionadas (relato oral). Todas estas fotos y entrevistas se documentaron en el repositorio de acceso abierto en línea Topoteka. A continuación, lanzamos una convocatoria competitiva para organizar unas Residencias Artísticas (AiR, Artist in Residence) en la que en cada país participante eligió un par creativo de artista y comisario que tuvo que proponer un proyecto artístico contextual que tuviese en cuenta estas fotos y entrevistas —y que se está llevando a cabo en los campus universitarios participantes (febrero-mayo de 2002). Previamente, estos pares creativos realizaron una estancia formativa en el Institut für Kunst im Kontex, Universität der Künste Berlin para recibir formación en arte contextual. A continuación, se realizarán exposiciones itinerantes (mediados de 2022). Se trata, pues, de un método interdisciplinar con aplicación de prácticas artísticas contextuales. Todo ello con el objetivo de subrayar cómo la vida de los estudiantes y sus actividades representan un reservorio vivo de ideas y relaciones innovadoras, una fuente a través de la cual se puede seguir un desarrollo evolutivo del patrimonio intelectual y puede establecerse una visión completamente nueva de la cultura europea y su desarrollo futuro. Los resultados de nuestro proyecto servirán como directrices para gerentes de instituciones culturales y galerías de arte, comisarios y artistas para la mejora de enfoques innovadores para el desarrollo de audiencias jóvenes. Todo ello cristalizará en un libro editado en inglés en formato Open Access (OA) que publicará la editorial académica británica Intellect.
Per una sociologia ragionevole nel cambiamento sociale. Considerazioni sul lavoro dei sociologi
Authors: Bagnasco Arnaldo
Published: July 2022

L’articolo propone una breve ricostruzione delle vicende economiche e sociali negli anni di Sociologia del Trabajo. Il primo paragrafo è un riassunto del cambiamento economico, elaborato dal punto di vista della sociologia economica, vale a dire con riferimento agli assetti istituzionali che hanno regolato l’interazione degli interessi in gioco in momenti successivi; il secondo paragrafo prova invece a rendere conto di come è cambiata in quel processo la società, mostra l’evoluzione della sua struttura con riferimento alla ricerca sulla disuguaglianza  sociale.

L’ultima parte è una riflessione sul tipo di sociologia utile da praticare oggi, nel cambiamento descritto in precedenza. Con la scelta di alcuni riferimenti disponibili in una vasta letteratura di ricerca, cercati come segnavia o indizi, è proposto un percorso in direzione di una sociologia ragionevole, vale a dire una sociologia che ha senso della misura, è realista, riformista, impegnata. In un momento in cui ci sono segni ovunque di arretramento istituzionale, compito dei sociologi è collaborare al rafforzamento e rinnovamento delle istituzioni democratiche costruite con fatica, e a contribuire, per la loro parte, al progetto di assetti condivisi di regolazione nel cambiamento.
Sexualidade e violência: análise a partir de uma Parada da Diversidade em Campo Grande-MS
Authors: Victor da Rosa Marcelo , Meira de Vasconcelos Alexandre , Alves de Oliveira Esmael , Rodrigues Passamani Guilherme
Published: July 2022

Este artigo é desdobramento da aplicação de um survey em 2019 na capital de Mato Grosso do Sul com os/as participantes da “18a Parada da Cidadania LGBT” de Campo Grande. O objetivo do texto éproblematizar as questões de violência à população LGBTQIA+. Como resultado da pesquisa, temos a centralidade da sexualidade como o marcador principal para pensar a situação de vulnerabilidade da população LGBTQIA+ que participou da Parada. Em termos analíticos, em um primeiro momento, apresentamos os dados estatísticos que mostram como sexualidade e violência caminham próximas no que diz respeito às experiências de vulnerabilidade de LGBTQIA+ campo-grandenses. Em um segundo momento, a partir de uma perspectiva interseccional e pós-estruturalista, refletimos sobre as condições sociais que alocam as pessoas LGBTQIA+ em situações de desigualdade quando comparadas à população heterossexual.
Modernização, racialização e branqueamento na música sertaneja
Authors: Da Palma Rogério
Published: July 2022

Este artigo aborda a modernização da música sertaneja brasileira, tentando entender como esse gênero musical integra, ao longo de sua história, determinados processos de racialização. Através da análise da estética presente na obra de alguns cantores, pretende-se desenvolver o argumento, segundo o qual, a música sertaneja desenvolveu, mesmo que de maneira difusa, narrativas e sonoridades racializadas, especialmente aquela conhecida hoje como “música caipira”. Todavia,assim como aconteceu com outros gêneros musicais, o sertanejo, ao se modernizar e se nacionalizar, atravessou um processo de “branqueamento”, fato perceptível, atualmente, tanto na composição racial de seus artistas como nas expressões narrativas, estéticas, sonoras e performáticas presentes nesse gênero musical.
Análise de narrativas e experiências de jovens filiados a partidos políticos
Authors: Barros Antonio Teixeira de
Published: July 2022

O artigo analisa relatos de experiências de jovens filiados a partidos políticos no Brasil. O corpus é formado por depoimentos escritos de 375 jovens filiados a 35 legendas. Os relatos tratam das experiências desses jovens, uma forma de acessar diretamente suas visões e seu lugar de fala como sujeito no âmbito das juventudes partidárias. A metodologia consistiu na aplicação de questionário aberto, com espaço para os informantes relatarem suas experiências. As conclusões mostram que os jovens destacam os seguintes aspectos: aprendizado político, convivência e o “espírito de broderagem”. Outras representações discursivas associam-se ora ao idealismo ora ao pragmatismo político. Alguns relatos destacam ainda o sofrimento causado pela troca de legendas. A discussão dos dados, em diálogo com a literatura, contribui para a compreensão das motivações que levam os jovens a se filiarem aos partidos, permitindo ainda a análise de suas próprias experiências, com base em relatos em primeira pessoa.

Este artigo discute o contexto vivenciado nas eleições de 2018 no Brasil, no que se refere à divulgação de fake news. O objetivo é caracterizar as informações falsas em campanhas eleitorais eletrônicas, bem como analisar o posicionamento dos eleitores adiante da desinformação. Aplicou-se pesquisa documental em 35 informações falsas esclarecidas pelo site do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), além da análise do conteúdo de comentários realizados em 14 postagens feitas no Facebook do TSE, à luz da Teoria da Ação Comunicativa. Como resultados, observou-se que as fake news foram uma preocupação do Brasil nas eleições de 2018 e estiveram associadas às condições de votação, legitimidade das urnas eletrônicas e dos cálculos dos resultados. A influência das fake news nas eleições mostrou-se presente ao considerar a opinião pública, com posicionamentos contrários e favoráveis. A experiência brasileira provoca reflexões e ações para as próximas eleições em países democráticos.
Language reflection and reflection of own activities during the study of German as a second foreign language study of German
Authors: Shmyrko Olena
Published: July 2022

The problem of promoting reflection in German language classes as the second language was raised. The students studying German as a second foreign language were offered the survey by V. Pavlov «Readiness for the self-development». The choice of the investigation method is justified by the fact that the term «self-development» is very closely related to the term «reflection»: in order to develop oneself successfully, one must be able to reflect well. The results of the study show that 61% of students were prepared for the further self-development, which is connected with the need to reflect. 18% of students wanted to get to know themselves but did not have good self-improvement skills. 13% of students had more opportunities for self-development than the desire to understand themselves. The most problematic, in terms of the ability to reflect in order to develop oneself, seemed to be the last group (8%). It should also be noted that the fairly common answer was “I haven't thought about it”. The experience of the empirical studies allows the conclusion that the questionnaire can have not only diagnostic, but also formative functions: the formulation of questions stimulates the students to reflect on their personal and professional development. When studying German as a second foreign language, the students were offered a variety of tasks that encouraged reflection. After the work carried out, the number of students who are ready to reflect, to get to know themselves better has increased. The following considerations are based on the results of the work carried out: 1. We can develop language reflection among our students if we promote language awareness through activities; Promote language analysis; Encourage comparing languages; Encourage explaining differences; Perform language games; 2. We can develop language learning reflection among our students if we allow them to set goals, encourage reflection on own learning progress and promote awareness of their own experiences in learning German successfully.
