EXAMINING APPLICATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT IN ADMINSTERING JUSTICE IN LABOUR COURTS IN KENYA
Authors: Ochieng Olayo , Kamau Lewis
Published: April 2022

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to establish whether psychological contract can be applied by the courts in case of unfair termination of employment.

Methodology: The study used exploratory research design to establish whether psychological contract can be applied by the courts in case of unfair termination of employment. The study analyzed psychological contract theory from a legal perspective and how human resource practitioners, advocates and judges can incorporate it in court cases. The study used exploratory research since it intends merely to explore the research questions and does not intend to offer final and conclusive solutions to existing problems. This is because the concept has not been clearly defined yet. However, the study helps us to have a better understanding of the problem. The study relied on decided court cases, journal articles and publications and books. 

Results: The study found that psychological contract breaches occur when an employee perceives that an organization has failed to meet its obligation to the employee. When the breach occurs it affects the employee contribution in three forms; performance, civic virtue and intention to remain in the organization. The legal employment contract does not embrace the principles of contract law such as consideration.  

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The legal employment contract does not embrace the principles of contract law such as consideration. The employee does not dictate the terms of the contract. Therefore, there is need to consider psychological contract theory as an input to understanding contemporary labour practices. This is because psychological contract brings in a unique way of interpreting an employment contract, understanding employment relationship and the need for policy reforms.

Building on the transdisciplinary work of Friedrich Kratochwil, this book reveals the scope, limits and blind spots of praxis theorizing.
“Betwixt our nation and the aspiring French”: Spanish Patriotism(s) Through Shakespeare’s Critical Reception (1764-1834)
Authors: Cerdá Juan Francisco
Published: April 2022

The paper focuses on the critical reception of Shakespeare’s work in Spain, beginning with the second half of the 18th century, showing how the Spanish literary scene became a space for critical controversy that illustrates the aesthetic differences between neoclassical and dissident criticism at the time. The paper demonstrates that this initial aesthetic conflict conceals ulterior issues dealing with the identity of Spanish drama and of Spain as a nation, the decaying quality of Spanish theatrical production at the time, and the neoclassical political programme for moral instruction and social reform.
Stéphane Braunschweig’s Measure for Measure: A (German and French) Vienna Midway Between Britain and Italy
Authors: Schwartz-Gastine Isabelle
Published: April 2022

The German-speaking director Stéphane Braunschweig centres his work mostly on the German contemporary, yet he turned to Shakespeare on a few occasions, especially in this memorable staging of Measure for Measure performed in English by actors from Nottingham Playhouse, premiered at the 1997 Official Edinburgh Festival, then performed at the Barbican, and which toured in France with great success. In this paper I would like to discuss the artistic and cultural imp act of borrowings from English, Italian and French cultures in a play set in a rather non-defined Vienna by Shakespeare, also taking into account the differences of reception according to the country where it was performed.
Autobiography as Fiction in “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man”
Authors: Bădulescu Dana
Published: April 2022

This paper looks into the artful way in which James Joyce fictionalizes his autobiography in his Künstlerroman A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Joyce projects his essentially artistic self onto the fictional character Stephen Dedalus, the namesake of the classical ‘cunning’ ‘artificer.’ In his turn, Stephen dreams of becoming Joyce and writing Ulysses. Thus, Joyce’s personal history and Dublin’s geography lose their recognizable ‘reality’ in a blueprint of the artist’s mind that charts a Dublin and a self-reshaped by his imagination.
Self-Enactment or Self-Disclosure: A Search for Autobiographical References in the Lyrics of Bob Dylan
Authors: Doboș Daniela
Published: April 2022

Bob Dylan is a contemporary icon of popular music and culture, one of the most influential Americans of the 20th century and America’s most important “song poet”. At the same time, there is perhaps no living person of whom so much has been written but whose bibliography remains so elusive. Not only this but, as Christophe Lebold writes, “the fundamental gesture behind Dylan’s oeuvre is indeed the permanent construction and deconstruction of himself”. The paper sets out to identify autobiographical influences in Dylan’s lyrics, which span five decades, down to the current “mix of inscrutability, flashed teeth, existential angst and deep sorrow, deadpan humour and dead-on breakdowns”, as a perfectly satisfactory coda to a remarkable half-century of music making.
Recollection of the Native Space as Autobiographical Pretext: Norman Manea, “The Hooligan’s Return”
Authors: Ghiorghiasa Irina
Published: April 2022

The paper focuses on the particularities of an auto biographical work, Norman Manea’s The Hooligan’s Return. In this work, the writer uses elements that are considered as defining for this type of writing and dramatic innovations in the way of organising the narrative material. An original idea Manea develops in a metaphorical way is that the native space is subsumed to the language space. This idea acquires complex meanings in this autobiographical text, built by evocation and intertextualization.
The Urban Shift of The Western: Inscriptions of Violence in Cormac McCarthy’s 'No Country for Old Men'
Authors: Roman Gianina
Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper is to analyse of the function (s) of violence in Cormac McCarthy’s novel No Country for Old Men as well as in its 2007 highly praised screen adaptation. The analysis of the use of violence in these works starts from the premises of the embedded, inherent violence of the western genre, seeking to speculate on its contemporary developments and adjustments as well as on its conflicting conventions. “Collapse” seems to be the leitmotif of the novel a s it defines both the structure and the substance of this modern western that, infused with elements of detective fiction – an unsolved crime, moral ambiguity, violence, and an action-driven narrative, epitomizes the urban shift of the genre. The paper will also briefly tackle issues connected to the conventions of the western genre so as to delineate a context for the centrality of stark violence in the modern western.

Failure and Natural Growth. Teaching Reading to Boys in Democratic Environments
Authors: Aniculăese Ovidiu
Published: April 2022

Statistics show considerably lower results for boys than for girls in reading tests and little interest for it on their part, coupled with generally lower participation of boys in schools across developed countries. Educators are often oblivious to boys’ natural reading preferences as a group and reading syllabi as well as reading lists inadvertently favour girls. The pleasure principle adopted to motivate students fails to animate boys and other media, particularly the internet offer convenient escape from the reading class. However, boys benefit from this unintended exclusion by the opportunity for enriching their range of familiar genres and they otherwise naturally tend to take ownership of their reading inside and outside of school, despite knowing their choices are not deemed legitimate by teachers. Parents and educators should offer male role models for readers, restore boys’ self -esteem, ensure richness of input and flexibility in school.

Authors: Mardonov S. E. , Toshpulotov L. I. , Erjanova D. J. , Karimova N. H.
Published: April 2022

The quality of textile fabrics is evaluated by physical, mechanical, consumer and hygienic properties. The durability of a fabric is also characterized by its resistance to abrasion. In turn, this durability and breathability of the fabric depends on many important factors, such as the strength of the yarn, the type of fiber, the composition of the yarn and its linear density, the density and thickness of the fabric, the thickness of the fabric, and so on. The abrasion resistance and breathability of a fabric largely depend on its structural characteristics, i.e., the degree of bending and the density of the warp and purl threads. This degree of bending is determined by the area of ​​one or another part of the product and the purl thread. This area is the reference surface of the tissue. In this article, a comparison of the quality indicators of shirt fabrics with twill weave from 100% polyester fiber and 100% cotton shirt fabrics with twill weave, as well as changes in their properties of breathability, wrinkle resistance, abrasion resistance, was studied.

Published: April 2022

The impact of dam construction on bird assemblages has been widely investigated in some regions, but bird diversity in catchment areas of hydroelectric dams during operation has been less studied. A high rate of forest regeneration around the affected area is expected to increase bird diversity. From September 2017 to February 2018, this study examined bird species richness and abundance in the Puah catchment area (PCA) and Tembat catchment area (TCA) in the Hulu Terengganu Hydroelectric Complex. PCA may be regarded as disturbed forest, while TCA comprises regenerating forest. This study conducted mist-netting and observations throughout the study period. This study recorded 204 individuals consisting of 62 bird species from 27 families. The Shannon diversity index for the birds captured was higher for TCA than for PCA, but the difference was insignificant. However, insectivorous bird diversity was significantly higher in TCA than in PCA, suggesting that feeding guilds are sensitive to habitat disturbance. Therefore, bird species diversity in both areas is expected to increase following habitat regeneration.

In my early years in Lancaster I remember my senior colleague Dr W J Hay asking whether or not digoxin and diuretics remained routine treatment for congestive cardiac failure; in fact there had been little change, in that digoxin was being used less often. Recently there have been three important alterations in management. These are:-( 1) improved diagnostic capabilities,(2) the introduction of new drugs, particularly ACE inhibitors, and(3) the reappraisal of older drugs including hydralazine, nitrates and digitalis. Finally we have seen the establishment of cardiac transplantation, various attempts at mechanical cardiac assistance and cardiomyoplasty which are out ide the scope of this article but which need to be borne in mind when drugs fail.

Studies were conducted to evaluate the organoleptic changes in Trichiurus spp. (ribbon fish) during frozen storage. Ribbon fishes of 75-85cms standard length and weighing about 470-500 gms were procured in absolutely fresh condition from the local fish-landing centre at Colaba. Samples were analysed at 2 weeks intervals upto 10 weeks and thereafter at 4 weeks intervals upto 30 weeks. Fishes were assessed organoleptically based on general appearance, colour, flavour, texture and an arbitrary hedonic scoring scale of 10 to 1 was used in which ‘4’ was considered as the border line of acceptance. The organoleptic score was ‘10’ which decreased gradually and remained in the acceptable margin score of ‘4’ at the end of 22nd week of frozen storage at –18oC. Therefore, organoleptically the fish is acceptable upto 22 weeks of frozen storage. The fish retains its quality upto 14 weeks afterwards it shows the sign of deterioration.

Published: April 2022

Pearl essence is extracted from fish scales. Guanine is an iridescent substance that is found in the epidermal layer and scales. In its crystalline form guanine reflects and refracts light and thus acts as a camouflage to fish. The suspension of guanine in a solvent is called “essence of pearls”. It was formerly used in cosmetics and paints. Guanine is lustrous material found in the epidermal layer and scales of most fishes like oil Sardine Mackerel, Herring and various carps bleak, ribbon fish etc. In United States herrings is one of the major species exploited for production of pearl essence.In India, ribbon fish is used for production of pearl essence. When guanine particles are deposited on the inside surface of solid beads, an optical effect similar to that of real pearl is obtained. Therefore, the present comparative study of extraction of pearl essence from scales of different types of fishes may play a decisive role in quantity of pearl essence from different types of fishes.

The article examines the role and significance of values in linguistics
proceeding from the fact that language reflects values in culture. Value
analysis of language reveals a wide range of possibilities for the study of
national linguistic consciousness through the formation of the model of
linguistic identity. Language as a cultural phenomenon, directly or indirectly
reflects values which are currently preserved in a given society and culture.
Moreover, the language is constantly connected with culture and thoughts,
which form in the native speaker the system of values, morality and behavior

Published: April 2022

The paper studies the manipulative language units used in George
Orwell’s essay “Politics and the English Language” and the problem of their
equi-effective translation into Armenian. Though commonly regarded as an
essay, this piece of writing contains several lexical layers that can be analyzed
outside of the literary genre of the essay. The unique discourse of the piece
makes it a very interesting subject for translation research and analysis from
the perspective of translation equivalence. Additionally, the “essay” genre of
not sufficiently studied with regard to the translation process. Our research is
focused on providing an adequate and equivalent translation using a variety of
translation techniques. We aim to propose apt approaches for translating
manipulative language units in similar texts and achieving equivalent
translations in the Target Language. The four categories of words/phrases the
author talks about as units leading the English language to its “demise” are:
dying metaphors, operators or verbal false limbs, pretentious diction,
meaningless words. We will be studying the examples brought by the author
and their possible translations into Armenian.

Genetic advancements have shown that ALS is not a single entity but consists of a collection of syndromes in which the motor neurons degenerate. Together with these multiple genetic etiologies, there is a broad variability in the disease’s clinical manifestations in terms of the age of symptom onset, site of onset, rate and pattern of progression, and cognitive involvement. In this paper, prediction of human paralysis is done based on extraction of features from the ALS dataset samples. The classification has been carried by two different Machine Learning based algorithms i.e., Gradient Boosting (GB), and neural Network (NN). The standard data set such as ALS has been used for this purpose. The classifier model has used 80% data as a training set and the remaining 20% of data as the test set. The result shows that GB and NN perform better with an accuracy of 98%. Based on the desired accuracy, this classification model serves better compared with existing models.

Sex is a basic human need. However, sex before and outside of marriage is considered a major sin in Islam and is socially, culturally and lawfully disdained in Pakistan. Human Rights Watch (2016) has reported 1096 honor killings for year 2015 alone based on these matters. Despite such alarming realities, incidents of premarital sex taking place seem to be on rise. To understand why young males engage in consensual premarital sex, qualitative research design was used. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were carried out till the point of saturation from N=8 male participants through snowball sampling. Inclusion criteria for a participant was being a heterosexual male aged between 18-35 years (Petry, 2002) having a consensual premarital penile-vaginal sexual experience. An exclusion criterion was being married, being bisexual or homosexual, or having only experienced oral or anal sex or sex against the will of a partner. All study participants had university education and belonged to middle or upper socioeconomic status. Following a constructivist paradigm, thematic analysis was used to make sense of the data using an inductive approach. Six main themes emerged were: (1) Early introduction to sex, (2) Sex related factors, (3) Psychological needs, (4) Sex for social gains (5) Personal norms towards premarital sex, and (6) Availability of opportunity for sex. Sexual activity which was a taboo to be talked about openly, in our society, is becoming increasingly common now. Newer generations due to an inappropriate and early exposure to sexualized content, easy access and availability of resources, opportunity and a much greater sense of independence are greatly involving in sexual activities. Young males have not only become more acceptable and permissive of premarital sex, but also, more promiscuous. Understanding the reasons for premarital sex can help curb this vice in our society.
Aprendizajes educativos tras la pandemia COVID-19. ¿Qué papel debe jugar la escuela en el nuevo escenario mundial?
Authors: Sanz Ponce Roberto , López-Luján Elena
Published: April 2022

La situación de pandemia y de cierre de escuelas tiene repercusiones importantes en docentes y alumnos, que acarrearán consecuencias perdurables si no se adoptan medidas y políticas educativas oportunas. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar críticamente algunas enseñanzas que deberían aprenderse de esta pandemia en referencia a la educación, convirtiéndola en una oportunidad para resituar su sentido. Los aspectos a replantear -aunque existen otros- son: Que ningún alumno se quede al margen; Racionalizar el curriculum; Nuevas formas de trabajar; y Alumnos y maestros resilientes. Entre las conclusiones destacan: la necesidad de garantizar un derecho a la educación efectivo para todos los alumnos, independientemente de capacidades, necesidades o status socioeconómico. Se deben implementarse políticas educativas y prácticas pedagógicas que reduzcan las desigualdades, brechas de aprendizaje y potencien la igualdad de oportunidades; de acabar con la rigidez del sistema y de un curriculum que favorece un aprendizaje memorístico, orientado al examen; de replantear las formas de enseñar y de aprender, atendiendo las propuestas de la neuropedagogía y de la enseñanza activa; y, por último, la necesidad de formar tutores de resiliencia capaces de ayudar a superar las secuelas de la COVID-19, además de potenciar esta capacidad entre el propio colectivo docente.
La resiliencia en el contexto académico. Una propuesta fenomenológica sobre la excedencia
Authors: De la Ossa Robinson Susana , Orrego Noreña Jhon Fredy
Published: April 2022

Introducción: En el presente artículo se describen los resultados de un estudio fenomenológico cuyo propósito fue comprender la dinámica de la resiliencia en los estudiantes que han estado en situación de riesgo académico en tres Universidades de la ciudad de Cartagena. Método: El acercamiento metodológico se hizo a través de un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico, a partir del cual se estableció como método la fenomenología de la excedencia del sujeto y en el que se propone el análisis de tres nuevos existenciales que se implican en la dinámica de la resiliencia en el contexto académico: Nausea, Evasión y Excedencia (Levinas, 2011). Para la recolección de la información se utilizó la entrevista fenomenológica realizada a estudiantes de tres universidades de la ciudad de Cartagena (Colombia) que hubiesen estado en condición académica de riesgo. Resultados: Los resultados del estudio dan cuenta de los sentidos, emociones y experiencias que median los espacios académicos habitados por los estudiantes en términos de la náusea (factores de riesgo), la evasión (factores protectores) y la excedencia (resiliencia). Finalmente, para la comprensión de la dinámica de la resiliencia es necesario abordar algunos elementos externos al estudiante pero que se encuentran sujetos al proceso educativo y otros que hacen parte de la configuración individual del sujeto en el proceso educativo. Discusión: La resiliencia se presenta en el contexto académico como la capacidad del estudiante para sobreponerse a los factores (internos y externos) que ponen en riesgo su permanencia y desempeño en la universidad. Se entiende así, el contexto universitario como un lugar en el que el riesgo y el sobreponerse a él hacen parte fundamental de la formación profesional.

En los últimos años, el pensamiento de Lévinas se ha convertido en el soporte teórico de una nueva corriente ética en educación. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cuáles son los puntos de encuentro entre el modelo teórico de la pedagogía de la alteridad y la práctica docente del maestro de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo y comparado, que adopta el diseño de un estudio de caso, en el que se han realizado 44 entrevistas a maestros y maestras seleccionados mediante la técnica bola de nieve en dos contextos distintos: la Región de Murcia en España y Ensenada en México. En la entrevista, que fue diseñada y validada por expertos, se pregunta por las siete dimensiones o categorías que conforman la pedagogía de la alteridad y que son: el testimonio, la acogida, la contextualización, la heteronomía, la justicia, la responsabilidad y la compasión. Los resultados muestran que algunos elementos del modelo teórico como el testimonio, la acogida y la contextualización tienen más presencia en los discursos y praxis de los docentes que otras como la compasión y la responsabilidad. No se evidencian diferencias significativas entre ambos contextos (España y México) en cuanto a las categorías de la pedagogía de la alteridad consideradas como más cercanas y relevantes para la práctica cotidiana en el aula. Se concluye destacando que los vínculos interpersonales que se crean en la escuela van más allá de lo estrictamente curricular, dejando espacio a otros factores de índole ética que convergen en definir la relación educativa.

Introducción. Que la actitud hacia el aprendizaje de los estudiantes presenta impacto sobre el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico ha sido ampliamente demostrado. Determinar los factores que influyen sobre la actitud de los estudiantes hacia el aprendizaje resulta muy relevante para cambiar actitudes negativas o generar actitudes positivas, que favorezcan su disposición para aprender y rendimiento. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo determinar los factores que influyen en la actitud hacia el aprendizaje en asignaturas de matemáticas en primer año de la carrera de Ingeniería, en una universidad chilena. Método. El método utilizado contempló el desarrollo de un instrumento de medición de factores relevantes previamente reportados en la literatura, el cual se aplicó a 873 estudiantes de primer año de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias de la Universidad Diego Portales en Chile, que cursaron las asignaturas de Cálculo 1 y Álgebra y Geometría. Se formula un modelo conceptual que es analizado mediante las herramientas de Ecuaciones estructurales, bajo el método Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (Partial Least Squares: PLS). Resultados. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los factores, según su grado de influencia: Motivación por aprender, Metodología de aprendizaje, Idoneidad del profesor y percepción de Utilidad de la asignatura, influyen positivamente en la Actitud hacia el aprendizaje, la que influye a su vez en el rendimiento académico, a través de un factor que captura el Aprendizaje autodeclarado del estudiante. Discusión. Se enfatiza en la importancia de conocer los factores que influyen sobre la actitud hacia el aprendizaje, para establecer acciones que influyan sobre estos factores que podrían favorecer el aprendizaje y un mejor rendimiento.
