When Yesterday’s Enemy Becomes Today’s Friend: A Corpus-assisted Critical Discourse Analysis of the Representation of Arabs in the Israeli ‘Jerusalem Post’
Authors: Baker Mariam , Nofal Mohammad
Published: October 2024

Media is considered a reflection of society and at the same time, it uses language as a power. The present study investigates the representation of Arabs in the Israeli newspaper, ‘The Jerusalem Post’, which is published in English. In other words, this study seeks to show how the Israeli press represents Arabs to the world, especially the West. Accordingly, we chose the Jerusalem Post since it is one of the most popular Israeli newspapers. Moreover, this study focuses on the articles that contain the word ‘Arab*’ and its variants from January 2017 to December 2021; this period represents the time span before and after the recent official normalization of relations between some Arab governments and Israel in order to shed light on the change of Israeli representation of Arabs during this period, if any. We draw upon a corpus of over 22 million words to conduct this study. Both corpus linguistic and critical discourse analysis are used to achieve the study goal. The analysis has shown that Arabs are negatively represented in pre-normalization period, and although the second period (2020-2021) witnessed the official normalization of relations between some Arab governments and Israel, Arabs are still represented negatively in the newspaper.

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the relationship between ownership structure and firm performance of quoted Nigerian financial firms in Nigeria. This study employs an Ex post facto research design, utilizing data extracted from annual reports of the financial firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) between the years 2014 to 2023. The population of interest consists of 48 listed financial firms. Secondary data from the firms' annual reports were collected and analyzed using fixed effect panel regression analysis as specified by Hausman test. The findings reveal significant positive effects of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and ownership concentration on firm performance. These results align with established theories such as agency theory and stewardship theory, as well as previous empirical studies in the field of corporate governance and ownership structure. The study concludes that increasing managerial ownership can align the interests of managers with shareholders, leading to improved firm performance. Attracting institutional investors who bring expertise, monitoring capabilities, and long-term investment perspectives can also contribute to enhanced firm performance. Furthermore, careful management of ownership concentration can enhance monitoring and decision-making efficiency, align shareholder interests, and reduce agency costs. However, the study finds no significant impact of foreign ownership on firm performance in the Nigerian context. This suggests the need for further research to better understand the specific dynamics and potential implications of foreign ownership in the Nigerian financial industry, considering factors such as regulatory restrictions, cultural differences, and information asymmetry.

Authors: Marcel Marcel , Pratama Dimas W. , Aotearoa Garpepi H.
Published: October 2024

This research proposes a framework designed to support digital innovation in small-scale organizations often constrained by limited resources and knowledge. This framework is built based on theoretical knowledge, which comes from literature reviews, and practical knowledge, which comes from focus group discussions involving several experts. The framework includes nine key processes: Leadership Commitment and Support; Culture of Innovation and Risk Tolerance; Cross-Functional Collaboration and Diversity; Agile and Flexible Process; Integration and Utilization of Digital Technology; Knowledge Sharing and Continuous Learning; Allocation of Resources for Innovation; External Engagement and Open Innovation; Performance Evaluation and Feedback. These processes were developed to be interrelated and form a comprehensive approach to fostering an innovative environment. In addition, this framework also integrates the ADKAR, a change management model, to facilitate the practical application of this framework in organizations. The existence of limited resources and knowledge in small-scale organizations demands particular strategies in adopting the framework, including more strategic resource allocation, intensive training for skill development, and collaboration with external institutions to support technology and innovation needs.

Published: October 2024

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between responsible en- vironmental management and business performance, emphasizing sustainable strategy models that enhance both environmental sustainability and profitability in modern organizations. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS, data were collected from 150 medium to large organizations across multiple industries, including manufacturing, retail, and energy sectors, all of which have implemented formal environmental man- agement initiatives. The findings reveal a statistically significant positive impact of responsible environmental management on both environmental sustainability (β = 0.72, p < 0.01) and business performance (β = 0.65, p < 0.01). Addi- tionally, environmental sustainability was found to positively influence business performance (β = 0.54, p < 0.01). These results validate the relevance of models such as the Triple Bottom Line and Circular Economy, providing action- able insights for companies aiming to enhance competitiveness while achieving sustainability goals. This study highlights the practical implications for busi- ness leaders and policymakers, particularly in fostering sustainable practices that align with both regulatory demands and long-term profitability. Future research is recommended to explore the longitudinal impacts of these strategies across different sectors and regulatory environments.

The increasing global demand for sustainable business practices has placed significant pressure on organizations, particularly within the technology sector, to adopt strategies that balance environmental, social, and economic goals. This study investigates the role of sustainable management strategies in enhancing business competitiveness in the technology industry. The research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating quantitative data from key performance indicators (KPIs) such as market share, operational efficiency, and innovation outcomes, with qualitative insights gathered from in-depth interviews with senior executives. The results demonstrate that companies adopting sustainability practices experience a measurable improvement in operational efficiency (10%) and market share (15%), confirming that sustainability serves as a critical enabler of competitive advantage. Qualitative findings further reveal that sustainability initiatives bolster brand differentiation, customer loyalty, and regulatory compliance, contributing to long-term success. These strategies not only help firms navigate evolving regulatory landscapes but also enhance their positioning as leaders in innovation and social responsibility. This study concludes that sustainable management strategies are essential not just for compliance, but for fostering long-term business resilience and market leadership in the fast-paced technology sector.

Polish primers (textbooks for learning to read) of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Authors: Siess-Krzyszkowski Stanisław
Published: October 2024

From the 16th to the 18th, and in parish and village schools until the 19th century, reading was taught by the syllabication method known since antiquity, also known as the alphabetic method. Many of all textbooks were catechism teachings – hence their unambiguous confessional character. The two oldest known Polish reading textbooks were intended for followers of the Augsburg Confession. However, it is very likely that the first Polish primers, containing catechism teachings following Catholic doctrine, began to be printed in the 1520s. The article discusses all currently known editions of Polish script reading textbooks published in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Sylvias (from the Latin silva rerum, i.e. forest of things) belong to the category of domestic books manuscript books, created in Old Polish times (17th-18th century) mainly in the noble community gentry circles. They are considered a valued source for historical and literary research due to the historical and literary research due to the variety of materials they contain, collected by their authors without a specific plan according to their tastes possibilities and needs. The author of one of the largest works of this kind was Aleksander Jastkowski (c. 1625/30– c. 1691), a nobleman from the Przemyśl land Ruthenian Voivodeship, a judge of the Przemyśl lands. His sylva entitled. ‘Compendium omnis activitatis politici et rei economicae ex variis authoribus collectae’ (National Ossolineum Library in Wroclaw, manuscript no. 3554) should be considered a typical example of this type of writing. This sylva was created successively probably for more than half a century mainly by A. Jastkowski, and was completed after his death at the beginning of the 18th century by persons unknown to us. It numbers 594 pages and contains in copies numerous materials, mostly relating to public life at the time (approx. 45% of the total manuscript), such as journalistic writings, correspondence and speeches by dignitaries state dignitaries, the Diary of the Sejm of 1652, records of the Sejmik of the Ruskie Voivodeship in Sądowa and others. In addition, it contains notes by A. Jaskowski concerning his private matters, copies of his and his family’s estate documents, extracts from his and his family’s property documents, excerpts from books he had read, and notes on various fields of knowledge (cultivation of the soil, medicine, Polish and general history, legal and constitutional subjects, etc.), literary works, and notes on the history of Poland etc.), literary works, specimens and examples of occasional letters, materials concerning the private affairs of various individuals.

Published: October 2024

The authors examine the specific publishing activities of universities and formulate the main challenges for academic publishing divisions.  Within  the study, eight publishing departments of Ekaterinburg universities demonstrated the following problems: decreasing circulation against the increase in the number of students; partial reversal from proprietary publishing facilities, loading of publications and e-publications into the electronic library systems, degradation of publications, unfair paper reviewing practice, decreasing funding and number of commercial projects, old age of employees of publishing departments, displacement of correctors, overloading of editors, low salaries, pandemic and sanctions consequences (increasing prices for paper and expendable materials, disruption of supplies, hardware challenges, etc.). Based on the analysis of publishers’ structure and management principles, the authors conclude on the stagnation in university publishing. However, the authors insist on some potential for preserving and improving publishing activities, and suggest optional solutions for several publishing problems.
Vermiwash: An effective nutritive blessing to crops
Authors: Nahar K , Ashrafi R , Haque M A
Published: October 2024

Under alarming situation of poor soil health, reduction in produce, increase in incidences of pest and disease and environmental pollution due to the application of chemical fertilizers over a period, it is necessary to look for alternatives which are effective and eco-friendly for sustainable agriculture. Therefore, it is very important to seek alternative as a supplement for chemical fertilizers. To cope with these problems, vermiwash can play an important role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. A review was conducted on vermiwash to assess the characteristics, potentiality to use and ultimately beneficial effects in sustainable agriculture. Vermiwash is coelomic fluid extraction contains significant quantities of nutrients, a large beneficial microbial population, biologically active metabolites particularly gibberellins, cytokinins, auxins and group B vitamins which can be applied alone or in combination with organic or inorganic fertilizers, so as to get better yield and quality of diverse crops. Evidences proved that qualities of vermiwash depend on the used organic bed producing vermicompost. Vermiwash can serve as a valuable foliar spray, because it is a combination of earthworm mucous discharges, nutrients, microorganisms and plant growth promoting materials composed of excretory products and mucus secretions from earthworms and micronutrients from the organic molecules in the soil. These nutrients are absorbed and then transported to the leaves, shoots, and other parts of a plant. Application of vermiwash improves plant health, yield and nutritional quality. Vermiwash proves to be an effective fertilizer which contributes the growth of plants when sprayed directly as well as mixed with a definite ratio of vermicompost. It was also observed that the plants treated with vermiwash were disease resistant and no any worms like leaf eaters were seen on the leaves and other parts of plants. Vermiwash can be used as a substituent of commercial fertilizers available in the market. Vermiwash acts not only as a liquid organic fertilizer but also act as mild biocide. It can be used as an effective input in organic agriculture for both soil health and disease management for sustainable crop production with low cost which could be ensure food security.

Authors: Islam M S , Mazumder M N N , Sarmin T , Ali M I , Hossain M S , Chowdhury S M A
Published: October 2024

Haor is one of the most flood-prone areas of Bangladesh and it underlies in water for several months of a year. Boro rice cultivation in this area is challenging due to the flash flood. An experiment was conducted to examine the suitability and productivity of four rice varieties transplanted in different seedling ages. This experiment was carried out at Sunamganj district for two consecutive years of Boro season in 2021-22 and 2022-23. Four Boro rice varieties namely Binadhan-10, Binadhan-17, Binadhan-24, BINA dhan25, and three seedling ages (i.e., 30, 35 and 40 days old seedlings) were used as treatment in the experiment. It was conducted through a split-plot design with three replications placing seedling ages in the main plot and crop varieties in the subplot. Transplanting of 30 days seedlings of Binadhan-24 produced the highest mean grain yield of 7.8 t ha-1 and 8.2 t ha-1 while 35 days seedlings produced 7.6 t ha-1 and 7.7 t ha-1 respectively, in two consecutive years, the highest among all varieties.  The maturity period among crop varieties varied due to the changes in seedling age as lower seedling age showed an earlier maturity period. So, transplanting of 30-35 days seedlings can be recommended for Binadhan-24 cultivation in the haor area.

Reducing herbicide use in agriculture is key for sustainability, addressing costs, environmental issues, and resistance problems. Using non-chemical methods like allelopathy in weed management offers a viable alternative. In this phenomenon, a field study was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory (AFL) of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh, from November 2021 to March 2022, to assess the phytotoxic effects of herbicides combined with aqueous extract of sorghum (AES) on weed management and yield of wheat. This study used three wheat varieties viz. BARI Gom (wheat)-32, BARI Gom-33, and BWMRI Gom-1 and six treatment levels such as, no weeding, recommended dose of herbicide (RDH), 90% RDH + AES (1:20 w/v), 80% RDH + AES (1:20), 70% RDH + AES (1:20), and 60% RDH + AES (1:20). The experiment followed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The RDH with AES and wheat variety significantly influenced weed population (WP) and dry weight (DW) of weeds. BARI Gom-32 produced the highest grain yield (GY) and other yield-contributing characteristics. The best results, including the highest numbers of tillers (NET) hill-1 (6.47), spike length (SL) (15.10 cm), number of spikelet spike-1 (NSS) (19.38), 1000-grain weight (TGW) (57.67g), GY (5.10 t ha-1), and straw yield (SY) (7.07 t ha-1) and harvest index (HI) (41.95%) were observed in plots treated with the RDH and the BARI Gom-32 variety, followed closely by those receiving 90% RDH + AES (1:20). The results demonstrate that varying concentrations of AES crop residue can effectively suppress weed growth and enhance wheat yield, suggesting that sorghum residues might be utilized to manage weeds effectively and sustainably while boosting wheat production. The study supports the potential of AES crop residue as an effective means to control weeds and significantly improve wheat yields.

This study aims to comprehensively understand Grade 13 Commerce students' perceptions of English language learning at a government school in the Nintavur Educational Division. The research identifies challenges students face, evaluates the effectiveness of learning resources and teaching aids, and assesses overall learning experiences and teachers' attitudes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrated quantitative and qualitative data collection, involving 74 students, two English teachers, and educational stakeholders, including the Principal and In-Service Advisor (ISA). Data were gathered through structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations. Quantitative analysis revealed students' fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, and concerns about pronunciation as significant barriers to learning English. The effectiveness of learning resources was met with mixed opinions, indicating uncertainty about their impact. The study also highlighted dissatisfaction with current teaching methods, with a noted disconnect between teaching practices and students' needs. Chi-Square analysis showed no significant gender differences in perceptions of learning experiences or teachers' attitudes. Qualitative insights from interviews and observations suggested gaps in textbooks and a need for more interactive and practical teaching approaches. The study concludes that addressing emotional barriers, improving teaching resources, and enhancing teacher training are critical for advancing English language education. A multifaceted approach, incorporating better pedagogical strategies, relevant resources, and supportive learning environments, is essential for overcoming the identified challenges and improving students' English language proficiency.
Yhteiskuntatieteiden opiskelijoiden yrittäjämäisyys työelämäarvojen valossa

Yrittäjyyden edistämisestä on muodostunut nyky-yliopistojen keskeinen tehtävä. Yksi perinteisesti epäyrittäjämäisenä pidetty ryhmä on yhteiskuntatieteiden opiskelijat, joihin on viime vuosikymmeninä aktiivisesti suunnattu yrittäjyyskasvatusta. Yliopistoissa pyritään valmentamaan opiskelijoita yritysten perustamiseen ja yritystoiminnan pyörittämiseen mutta myös tukemaan opiskelijoiden ”yrittäjämäisyyttä”, jolla viitataan muun muassa joustavuuden, proaktiivisuuden ja riskinottokyvyn tyyppisiin ominaisuuksiin. Yrittäjämäisyyttä voi lähestyä useista näkökulmista. Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme yhteiskuntatieteitä opiskelevien yrittäjämäisyyttä työelämäarvojen näkökulmasta ja kysymme, näyttäytyvätkö yhteiskuntatieteiden opiskelijat arvojensa suhteen aiempaa yrittäjämäisemmiltä vai heijastavatko heidän arvojärjestyksensä perinteistä palkkatyökulttuuria. Tarkastelemme opiskelijoiden arvovalintoja hyödyntämällä Schwartzin arvoteoriaa ja kyselyä, johon vastasi (2016–2017) 256 Tampereen ja Helsingin yliopistojen yhteiskunta- ja sosiaalitieteiden opiskelijaa. Tulokset ovat monitulkintaisia. Yhtäältä perinteistä palkkatyökulttuuria heijastavat säilyttämisarvot olivat vastaajille yhtä tärkeitä kuin yrittäjämäisyyttä heijastavat muutosvalmiusarvot. Toisaalta perinteistä palkkatyökulttuuria heijastavat turvallisuusarvot olivat heille tärkeämpiä kuin yrittäjämäisyyttä heijastavat itseohjautuvuusarvot. Näytteemme perusteella yrittäjämäiset arvot eivät ole opiskelijoille vieraita tai merkityksettömiä, mutta perinteistä alkkatyökulttuuria heijastavat turvallisuusarvotkaan eivät ole menettäneet merkitystään.

A Call for Human Resource Development Scholars to Reinvigorate the Study of Cultural Syndromes and Individual Dimensions
Authors: Lion Robert W.
Published: October 2024

During the 20th century, there was significant growth in the development and understanding of the nuances of identity, behavior, and personality. As globalization has increased, scholarly attention to cultural attunement and cross-cultural studies has also increased. However, despite significant research in the latter half of the 20th century in the areas of the culture syndromes of collectivism and individualism, and the related individual factors of allocentrism and idiocentrism, the development of this body of research has largely plateaued. Human resource development scholars have long touted the importance of their research to be of the nature to benefit practice directly. There is an opportunity to reinvigorate the study of the attributes of these constructs, specifically in the field of human resource development. The body of literature on these individual and cultural dimensions offers promise to enhance organizations’ ability to be strategic in their business development efforts.
