The Sociocultural Use of the Arabic Word عيب Eib 'shame' among the YemeniWomen "Thanks to language, Man became man." Descartes
Authors: Moqbel Ahmed Abdullah Alhussami & Kamel Hizam
Published: November 2022

The current paper attempts to explore the sociocultural use of the Arabic word عيبEib 'shame' among the Yemeni women. Language, as the main tool of communication, sometimes has to be used in a very tough and vague manner by its users, especially by those who are uneducated. This paper tends to tackle the issue of using the Arabic word Eib by Yemeni women in some daily linguistic situations. The word Eib is found to be used in a wide-range situation by Yemeni speakers to carry meanings that are not corresponding with the meaning in the selected Arabic dictionaries. The common misuse of the word Eib among Yemeni speakers, especially women can be attributed to two main factors; cultural and religious, as it has been inferred from the data obtained from the informants. Yemeni speakers, use the word Eib to express their anger or loathing against behavior, saying, writing, etc. that goes against either the social norms based on cultural beliefs or religious instructions. The misuse of the word Eib is common not only among ignorant people but also among some educated ones. Some linguistic uses are inherited from one generation to another rather.

Authors: Abdulsafi Adnan Saeed Thabet Abdulsafi & Ali Salim Awadh
Published: November 2022

This research paper aims to shed light on one of the Arabic-speaking EFL learners' lexical problems, concerning translating words used in context from English into Arabic. It focused on translating polysemous words when they are used both in their direct core and indirect secondary meanings. In order to investigate this problem, a translation test was administered to a sample comprised 28 male and female students studying English at the Faculty of Education- Yafea, University of Aden, Yemen. The test consisted of 10 English sentences used to collect quantitative data from the participants. Each five sentences tested one polysemous word (break and sound,). The meanings of the polysemous words in the first sentence in each five sentences is direct, core meaning; whereas their meanings in the other 4 sentences are indirect secondary meanings. Based on the results of the study, it was found that Arabic-speaking EFL learners were unable to a great extent to translate the words well, especially when those words were used in their indirect secondary meanings. Based on the results, this research suggested that polysemous words should be given much attention in ELT B.educational courses at all stages of English language learning and teaching because of students' drastic incompetence in understanding the different meanings of polysemous words.

Authors: Anyanwu Sixtus Onwukwe
Published: November 2022

This study in Abakiliki L.G.A of Ebonyi State examined factors influencing the output of local rice. A research survey design was used for the study and fifty (50) local rice farmers were randomly selected from 17 different communities in Abakaliki LGA. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were employed in the data analysis. Results showed that most of the rice farmers sampled were of their active age with an average of 35 years. The respondents possessed one educational qualification or the other. The Size of the farm, labour input, capital inputs, and cost of seeds exerted significant influence in explaining the variations in the quantity of local rice produced. The R2 (0.766), showed that 76.6% of the variations in the output of local rice were captured by the explanatory variables. It is recommended that local rice farmers increase their small farm sizes either through the acquisition of more lands directly or through government efforts at a fee. Furthermore, since labour input significantly influenced the output of Local rice it is recommended that skilled labour be attracted into local rice production through increased remuneration of labour in rice production. Capital inputs should be increased in the study area probably through credit liberalization or skewing of credit supply in favour of local rice production to enable the farmers to hire skilled labour needed to boost rice output.

The study applied exploratory and descriptive methods and relied on data generated through content analysis of books, journals, and online materials. This paper adopted the social control theory by Hirsch and broken window theory by George Kelly. The finding showed that people lack preparedness for the disaster events; they break urban master plans and structures to obstruct to flood. The anti-social attitude like indiscriminate dumping of solid wastes into drainages and carnal and weak enforcement of environmental laws. Also, undue cutting down of trees, lack of environmental policy and lack of political will to implement the existing ones, poor attitude to social and environmental policies are among the factors that are responsible for poor preparedness for flood disaster in Lagos Metropolis. The paper recommends effective public enlightenment, public advocacy on environmental safety and health security, rigorous enforcement of environmental laws, and an urban renewal scheme. This paper will benefit the ministries of environment and physical planning, the state, and the federal emergency agencies, non-governmental agencies, and researchers in the security and emergency studies.

Guidelines and a software tool for quality assessment of BPMN business process models
Authors: Kopp Andrii
Published: November 2022

This paper considers the problem of quality measurement of Business Process Model and Notation business process models. Business process models presented using BPMN and other notations are graphical schemes similar to flowcharts or UML (Unified Modeling Language) activity diagrams utilized in software engineering. Business process modeling strives to capture current enterprise workflows for analysis and improvement using automation through workflow systems deployment. Therefore, designed high-quality business process models have to be understandable and maintainable. It can help efficiently identify and replace all “weak spots” of described organizational workflows with more efficient solutions. Whereas business process models which are not understandable, unstructured and uncertain may cause even more errors than benefits. Therefore, this study proposes guidelines and a software tool for errors detection in business process models.
Investigating into the varieties of language spoken at Benue State University, Makurdi
Authors: Damkor Torkuma Tyonande , Terna Stephanie
Published: November 2022

In a multilingual speech community like Benue State University, Makurdi, where the members thereof have different native language backgrounds and English is chosen to be the official language, members of the university community speak different varieties of language in different domains. The paper entitled ‘Investigating into the varieties of language spoken at Benue State University (BSU), Makurdi’ is set to examine the varieties of language spoken on the BSU’s campus. The survey design was adopted, and questionnaires were used as the instruments for data collection for the paper. The analysis of the varieties of language spoken at the university was based on William Labov’s Variationist Theory which claims that differences are featured in the use of language among individuals based on the contexts. Through the analysis of the data, the researchers discovered that English, Pidgin, and native languages such as Tiv, Idoma, Igede, Etulo, Igbo, Hausa, among others, are spoken at the university. The study also discovered that Pidgin is predominantly used at the university despite the fact that English is the official language because academics and lecture rooms may be the only domains and settings that compulsorily enforce the use of English. The researchers, therefore,  suggest that more efforts should be made to ensure a predominant use of English on the BSU’s campus since it is the official and prestigious language of Nigeria.
Fragmented psyche and postcolonial feminist construction: A study of Emeka Nwabueze’s The dragon’s funeral and tess Onwueme’s Then she said it
Authors: Yong Walters Ncham
Published: November 2022

This paper focuses on memory fragmentation as a result of gender relations between sexes that  leads to trauma. A reading of Emeka Nwabueze’s The Dragon’s Funeral and Tess Onwueme’s Then She Said It reveals that patriarchy plays a negative role on both male and female genders and this places the study to hinge on the assumption that the dramatic world of Nwabueze and Onwueme is a patriarchal constructed society where both male and female genders suffer marginalization and look forward for liberation. This brings to focus the fragmentation of the psyches of both genders as a result of the traumatic experiences which they encounter in the process of patriarchal resistance and subordination. The study uses postcolonial feminism and psychoanalysis as its theoretical standpoint to demonstrate the oppressive nature of patriarchy on both genders which affects their psyches negatively in a society that subordinates women as well as men. It further underscores that the stereotypical perception of both gender acts also reinforces the fragmentation of psyches of women and men, thus revealing the mechanism of gender inequality that results in the fragmentation of the psyches of women and men as human beings who are constructed to speak in silence. The study, however, concludes that forms of patriarchal oppression, exploitation and subordination greatly contribute to the dissociation of the memories of victims of patriarchy and oppression as a result of trauma.

The main objective of the research was to examine the correlation between university students’ writing apprehension and performance level, particularly among first-year undergraduate students at Dire Dawa University, Ethiopia. Specifically, the study examined whether or not any statistically significant correlation exists between students writing apprehension and writing performances level, the degree to which students feel writing apprehension, and their level of writing apprehension influences students’ writing performance. To achieve this objective, a descriptive-correlational design was employed. Then, questionnaires, interviews and writing tests were used for data gathering. Accordingly, the collected data was analyzed by quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research revealed that students had moderate writing apprehension and low writing performances level. In addition, the research findings show a modest negative correlation between students writing apprehension and their performance level. However, the correlation was found insignificant. Besides this, the research findings show students' writing performances are not significantly influenced by the factors (students’ negative view of their writing ability, fear of evaluation and avoidance of writing activities) or level of writing apprehension. And at the end, recommendations were given in order to bring to attention about the relationship and the influence of students’ level of writing apprehension on their writing performances when writing in English at tertiary level.
Power relations in the deployment of linguistic resources by world leaders during the Russian-Ukrainian war
Authors: Ebim Matthew Abua , Nta Eno Grace , Tasen Okune Sunday
Published: November 2022

On the 24th of February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a war that has drawn widespread condemnations, criticisms, and reactions from world leaders. While an infinitesimal figure has spoken in support of the invasion, most world leaders have outrightly condemned the action of the Russian government led by Vladimir Putin who in the process of justifying his actions, claims that the reason for the invasion was to “de-nazify” the Ukrainian government policies. Ironically, Putin himself is a product of Nazism, a system of government that he strongly supported in his prime. Moreso, in the days of the USSR, the Russian government had been accused of the same offense the Russian government is accusing Ukraine of. Therefore, this is a clear case of linguistic labeling embellished in the exercise of power as a justification for the activity carried out by a more superior force. The theoretical framework of CDA was adopted in this study because it focuses squarely on the projection of ideology and the intersection of power play in any form of discourse. It also brings out indices of hidden meanings in texts and tries to proffer solutions to societal problems from the perspective of language use. The study reveals cases of polarization, ideological projection, the deployment of linguistic resources in form of labeling to justify the actions of Putin over the Ukrainians. There is also the deliberate attempt to “annex” or “conquer” the less powerful using application of force through the policy of “imposition”.

The study entitled ‘Progressive inflectional patterns in Tiv’ is relevant because it complements the body of literature on Tiv inflection. Previously published papers on Tiv inflection at the disposal of the researchers do not treat progressive inflectional patterns in the language, let alone anchoring the study of progressive inflection in the Tiv language on Paradigm Function Morphology (PFM). Hence, the present study is designed to examine the progressive inflectional patterns in the Tiv language using the theoretical framework of Paradigm Function Morphology (PFM). The objectives of the study are to examine the progressive inflectional patterns featuring suffixation in the Tiv language and progressive inflectional patterns in the language featuring zero affixation. Since the study is designed to examine the progressive inflection in the Tiv language, the survey design was adopted. Data for the study were collected using semi-structured interviews and the researchers’ introspection. The study discovered that progressive inflectional patterns in the Tiv language are marked using suffixation and zero affixation respectively. The findings also show that progressive inflections are marked in the verbal roots so that such verbs can fit in with the syntactic structures in order to express ongoing activities or actions in the Tiv language.

The study entitled ’A comparative semantic analysis of personal names in Igbo and Tiv’ is relevant because the available literature at the disposal of the researchers do not treat the semantics of Igbo and Tiv personal names from the comparative perspective. Hence, the present study is designed to examine the personal names in Igbo and Tiv with the aim of discovering the similarities and differences between Igbo and Tiv personal naming systems. The study is predicated on LoCatsro (2012) notion of Anthropological Pragmatics. LoCatsro notion holds that the interpretation of semantic elements and properties are based on cultural peculiarities that can only be understood using the link between culture and contextual meaning of words. The conceptual framework supports the present study because it accounts for the existing personal names in Igbo and Tiv. The personal names in Igbo and Tiv, which are means of group and individual identities, usually reflect the experiences, wishes, religious beliefs, expectations, opinions, advice and caution among the peoples. The findings of the study show that the naming systems for the Igbo and Tiv personal names share some similarities based on the belief in God Almighty, philosophy about life, importance of children, circumstances surrounding the birth of a baby or the parents at the time of the childbirth. On the contrary, the naming systems of Igbo and Tiv differ due to certain beliefs that are peculiar to the Igbo and the Tiv peoples respectively.

With the fast influence of modernization, many people have to adapt to meet the demand of the changes in society, including the indigenous communities. Some parts of their culture are being at risk due to the high call of alteration. In these communities, customs and traditions should be protected to preserve their culture, heritage, and their identity as a tribe. Thus, the purpose of the study was to make an analysis of stakeholders’ support mechanism for the preservation of weaving in an indigenous community. The research design of the study followed the quantitative research design complemented with qualitative data to analyze the stakeholders’ support mechanisms. Quantitative data were analyzed with the application of the Prince Chart and Prince Method of Calculation, while qualitative data were perused through content or textual analysis. The research participants of the study were the thirty (30) respondents who answered the survey questionnaire adopted from the UP-NCPAG, and ten (10) informants who went through an in-depth interview (IDI). The results of the quantitative data analysis showed that the issue position elicited affirmative score, while the power and priority scored high. It also showed a 100% probability of support from the stakeholders, which denotes certainty of implementation. On the other hand, the qualitative data and findings reinforced and validated the quantitative data and findings. The study arrived at a conclusion that there is high optimism and likelihood that the proposed development of NC II Weaving in Amgu-o will become a reality which will lead to the preservation of weaving the indigenous community.

Authors: Nam Nguyen Danh , Lan Uong Thi Ngoc
Published: November 2022

The study is carried out to analyze the impact of HRM practices on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of officers working at State agencies in the fisheries sector on the Northern Coast. From the data provided by 350 officers, the structural equation model was applied to evaluate the impact of HRM practices on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. The results showed a positive relationship between HRM practices and job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. In addition, HRM practices, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment have an inverse correlation with the turnover intention of officers. Moreover, job satisfaction has a positive impact on organizational commitment. The result of the study suggests some important implications for State agencies in the fisheries sector in the Northern Coast to increase job satisfaction, and organizational commitment and reduce turnover intention.

Textmaschinen
Authors: Sestu Timo
Published: November 2022

In this book, Timo Sestu examines literary artefacts of the European neo-avant-garde from the 1950s to the 1970s that originated as a result of the interaction between man and machine. These machines are both computers and technical apparatuses, but also book structures and forms of poetic formalism that organise text in a machine-like way.

The works by Nanni Balestrini, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Oskar Pastior and Raymond Queneau that are analysed in this book are outstanding documents of the early phase of digitalisation, but have hardly ever been read thoroughly. This dissertation provides evidence of their (hermeneutic) readability and focuses on the specific materiality of these texts, books and machines.
