Socio-Eco Packages and Environmental Factors – An Analysis from Balochistan
Authors: Khan Rizwan , Amanullah  , Malik Muhammad Irfan , Ahmed Sarfraz
Published: August 2024

This study examines the impact of the Socio-Economic packages announced over the past two decades for Balochistan by the Federal Government / State on Political, Social, Economic, Security, and other environmental factors, predicting the future of the province. It adopts a qualitative research design with a historical, descriptive approach using interview-based primary data collection along with the study of published and unpublished documents of government and private sources. Since the rise of President Gen (R) Pervaiz Musharaf to the premier office of Pakistan, the Federal Government undertook five ventures to support Balochistan on its way to progress. However, mismanagement and bad governance failed the very spirit of the initiatives, and the results couldn’t be achieved. The findings of the study conclude that the announcement of socio-eco packages would have proved to be beneficial towards achieving specific goals set if the welfare and development schemes had been carried out and monitored through agencies/intermediaries other than the local political or parliamentary leadership. Environmental factors, especially political factors, are directly impacted by the implementation of these packages. This study presented its analyses by interviewing the people linked with academia and the administration only owing to time constraints. However, future research should include the views of other groups directly or indirectly linked with the prevailing situation in the province, thus addressing the limitations of the present study.

Published: August 2024

Along with global economic growth, the need in improving the performance of State-Owned Enterprises is absolute, especially when dealing with agency problems in mining sector in Indonesia. Based on three research problems: 1) whether or not the mining sector SOE holding policy minimizes agency problems; 2) how the contract between principal and agent minimizes agency problems in mining sector holding; 3) whether or not there is an influence of holding on financial performance, the objectives of this study are, therefore, to evaluate    the effectiveness of the holding strategy in minimizing agency problems in SOEs in the mining sector by reviewing the contract between the principal and the agent in minimizing agency problems in the mining sector holding and to obtain empirical evidence comparing the performance of mining sector companies inside and outside the holding, and to find out ways to enhance SOE performance in order to recommend policy formulation to improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency in SOE management. By highlighting the complex relationships within principal-agency structures involving governments, parent companies, and SOEs, the study concludes that better governance to handle problems like political interference, conflicting goals, and lack of transparency paves the way for the concept of the parent company as an intermediary agent to balance conflicting goals and improve governance in SOEs

Examining Language Attitudes and Identity among Saudi EFL Undergraduates: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: AL-Qahtani Nayilah Mesfer J.
Published: August 2024

Before beginning any kind of educational or instructional activity, it is standard practice to have a discussion with students about their points of view. This discourse should take place well in advance of the activity. Therefore, this is because the students are the major focus of the educational process. This research explores the perspectives of Saudi students from all university disciplines that are taught in English as foreign language, such as medicine, sciences, engineering, management, economics, and others. In addition to this, the perspectives of the students on the history of the English language are taken into account. In addition to this, it investigates the variables that have an impact on the outcomes that are associated with the activities that the students participate in. A favorable attitude toward the process of gaining English language skills was shown by the persons who participated in the study, as indicated by the outcomes of the research. In addition, the replies of the students demonstrate that they have viewpoints that are somewhere in the middle about the approach to learning about the culture that is being targeted. It is necessary to give students an environment that is favorable to learning, according to the findings of the study that was conducted. When it comes to the process of designing and delivering lessons, instructors of English as a foreign language (EFL) are expected to putting the interests of their students at the center of their agenda. The sample consisted of 555 students who submitted the questionnaire “Language Attitudes and Identity Questionnaire: Exploring Perspectives of Saudi EFL Undergraduates”. This questionnaire was divided into five distinct sections. Cronbach's Alpha coefficients has been used for reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Independent-sample t-test results present the comparison of language orientation among students.
To Assess Factors Affecting Pension Subscribers’ Behavioral Intentions to Adopt Technology in The Pension Schemes
Authors: Agyemang Cynthia Morkoah , T Subramanyam , Boison David King
Published: August 2024

This study explores the behavioral intentions of pension subscribers in Ghana to adopt technology in their pension schemes, grounded in the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). A quantitative correlational design was used, analyzing data from 1,539 pension subscribers through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to understand the relationships between key factors. The findings reveal that performance expectancy and effort expectancy are significant predictors of technology adoption, underscoring the importance of perceived benefits and ease of use. Interestingly, social influence did not significantly impact adoption, suggesting that pension subscribers make independent decisions regarding technology use, uninfluenced by peers or social circles. Facilitating conditions and price value were crucial, indicating the need for supportive infrastructure and cost-effectiveness to encourage adoption. Contrary to expectations, hedonic motivation negatively influenced adoption intentions, emphasizing that functionality is prioritized over entertainment in the pension sector. Habit emerged as a strong predictor, showing that ingrained technology use positively affects adoption intentions. This research offers theoretical insights into technology adoption in the pension sector of a developing country and practical guidance for policymakers and pension service providers on fostering technology uptake among subscribers. By examining the specific socio-economic and cultural factors in Ghana, this study contributes a nuanced understanding of technology adoption drivers in the pension sector, providing empirical evidence from a less-explored context and highlighting unique influences in this domain.

Published: August 2024

This study examines the role of women's entrepreneurship in enhancing domestic family income in Batam, a special economic zone with unique socio-economic characteristics. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative designs to understand the factors influencing women's entrepreneurship and to develop optimization strategies. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 200 female entrepreneurs across 12 districts in Batam, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and participant observations. Data analysis was conducted using variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and NVIVO software to analyze the complex relationships between variables. The results of the study indicate that women's education level, access to capital, and family support are critical factors influencing the success of entrepreneurship. Access to capital is proven to be a significant challenge, with barriers such as high interest rates and complex procedures. Additionally, the increase in family income derived from women's businesses contributes to improving family welfare, including children's education, health, and financial stability. Based on these findings, the study recommends the need for improved access to capital, the development of relevant entrepreneurial training programs, and supportive government policies to strengthen the role of women's entrepreneurship in Batam. This study is expected to contribute meaningfully to the literature on women's entrepreneurship and provide a foundation for the development of more effective policies in the future.

A EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA COMO ESTRATÉGIA PARA A MITIGAÇÃO DA DESIGUALDADE SOCIAL NO BRASIL
Authors: Dorileo Andréa , Santos Reginaldo Hugo , Saragiotto Silva Juliana
Published: August 2024

A desigualdade social é um obstáculo contínuo que impacta várias nações em todo o globo. No Brasil, essa disparidade socioeconômica é particularmente marcante e tem profundas implicações na vida dos trabalhadores e de suas famílias. A desigualdade social gera injustiça, limita oportunidades e compromete o desenvolvimento humano. Diante desta realidade, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) está sendo utilizada como estratégia para a mitigação da desigualdade social brasileira. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir da obra “Crítica à Razão Dualista / O Ornitorrinco” (de Francisco de Oliveira, publicada em 2003), estabelecendo conexões com os autores das bases conceituais da EPT (como Ricardo Antunes, Maria Ciavatta, Dante Henrique Moura e Marise Ramos) e com uma pesquisa realizada pelo Ministério da Educação com os egressos da Rede Federal nos anos de 2003 e 2007. Dentre os resultados encontrados, notou-se que os cursos ofertados pela Rede Federal trouxeram uma melhoria significativa à vida dos alunos egressos, possibilitando-lhes o acesso a melhores oportunidades de trabalho e de remuneração, e, por conseguinte, contribuindo para a mitigação dos efeitos da desigualdade social por eles vivenciados.
Att tillägna sig skriftspråkliga verktyg genom att leka affär
Authors: Magnusson Maria , Pramling Samuelsson Ingrid
Published: August 2024

Artikeln fokuserar ett tema över tid i form av affärslek där förskollärare såväl som barn har olika roller, både i tillblivelsen och i utvecklingen. Studien ingår i ett större projekt om lekbaserad undervisning i förskolan. Empiri för den aktuella studien utgörs av videoobservationer av återkommande affärslek i en förskola. Syftet var att studera hur skriftspråkliga verktyg kommer i spel mellan barn och mellan förskollärare och barn för att stödja barns symbolförståelse. Resultaten visar: (i) vilka skriftspråkliga verktyg (begrepp, distinktioner) som förs in och aktualiseras i leken och (ii) hur dessa approprieras och ges betydelse för lekens fortsättning. Den aspekt av skrift som blir särskilt tydlig är symbolers kommunikativa funktioner. För lekens fortskridande blir det skriftspråkliga innehållet betydelsefullt liksom hur förskolläraren i lek hanterar skriftspråkliga verktyg i respons på barns agerande. Studien ger, genom sin empirinära analys, exempel på undervisning på basis av lek i förskolan.
Appropriating literate tools through playing shop
In this article, we present a theoretical elaboration of teaching and a ’didaktik’ (as distinct to didactics) aligned with how preschool organizes for children’s learning and development in relation to play. This theorizing is both empirically grounded, in a combined development and research project, and synthesizes insights from a number of disciplinary traditions. In the project preschool teachers, development leaders, and preschool heads, together with researchers, have studied different ways in which preschool teachers seek entrance into, and participate in, children’s play. Teaching is theorized as an activity – that is, as something mutually constituted by participants (preschool teachers and children) – in contrast to instruction as an action. Some of the key concepts employed in analyzing teaching trajectories in preschool, such as the inherent tension between temporarily sufficient intersubjectivity and alterity, and the fluctuation and relations between ’as if’ and ’as is’ are clarified. Play is understood in this perspective not as something to base teaching on (so called play-based teaching), as something that can subsequently be left behind; rather, teaching is understood as inherently responsive to play, as a potential dimension of any teaching activity in preschool.

Antakng as a Unit of Value in the Life of Dayak Benuaq Tonyooi Community in West Kutai
Authors: Kalista Valenci , Saka Putri Ananda , Sheikhi Mohammad
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to explain the shift that has occurred in antakng as a customary value standard in the Dayak Benuaq Tonyooi community. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies, this research was conducted in West Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan. The results showed that antakng, which has traditionally served as ceremonial object and used as a unit of value for Dayak people, and also functions as a standard of exchange, has now been replaced and converted into a unit of currency (rupiah). Currently, the value of 1 antakng is equivalent to IDR 400,000 (four hundred thousand rupiah). This transformation occurred due to the scarce availability of antakng (urns) and as a form of rational choice from the community to continue conducting economic transactions and maintaining customary practices in the midst of changing times. Antakng converted to money or rupiah is now used as the unit of value for paying wages and fines, and is applied in the settlement of cases in West Kutai. This research recommends the need for preservation efforts and the establishment of clear regulations regarding the use of antakng in the customary context, in order to preserve traditional values amid the challenges of modernization.

Application and Empirical Analysis of Asset Pricing Models in the Chinese Stock Market
Authors: Yue Qiannian
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the application and performance of asset pricing models in the Chinese stock market. We analyze the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the Fama-French Three-Factor Model, and the Carhart Four-Factor Model, assessing their effectiveness in explaining stock returns within the context of China's unique market environment. Using data from major Chinese stock exchanges, we employ regression analysis to evaluate the models. Our findings reveal that multifactor models, particularly the Carhart model, provide superior explanatory power compared to CAPM, highlighting the importance of incorporating additional risk factors. This study contributes to the understanding of asset pricing in emerging markets and offers practical insights for investors and policymakers.
The Empirical Examination of the Effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Performance on Enterprise Value: Focusing on Real Estate Agencies
Authors: Zhang Ketao
Published: August 2024

In the 21st century, modern production techniques and technological advancements have yielded remarkable development achievements, yet they are accompanied by challenges posed by energy and resource scarcity, ecological and environmental strain, and pressing social issues. Recently, the spotlight has shifted to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, as negative social events have heightened public awareness. The impact of corporate ESG performance on society is significant, and the public's perception can, in turn, affect corporate profitability and overall value. As such, investors are increasingly realizing the importance of considering ESG metrics in their decisions. While ESG investment is still in its nascent stage domestically, it has garnered widespread attention and is rapidly gaining momentum. Indices and related derivative products themed around ESG, such as the ESG Beauty 50 index, have been launched on domestic exchanges like the Shanghai Stock Exchange and China Securities Index. Taking the real estate industry as a case study, this paper aims to accomplish the following through a combination of literature research and empirical analysis: Firstly, to assess whether ESG performance varies across companies with diverse characteristics (such as state-ownership status, enterprise size, and so forth) and explore its differential impact on enterprise value. Secondly, to raise awareness among company managers regarding the critical role of ESG performance in shaping the future sustainability and long-term value of their organizations.

DEMOCRATIC RESILIENCE THROUGH DIGITAL CONSTITUTIONALISM: ADDRESSING RISKS POSED BY GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Rodriguez-Gamal Juan Francisco
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly gained prominence, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the demand for digitisation and integration of algorithms into our daily lives. This technological progress poses a significant challenge to traditional constitutionalism, as the digital world and the preponderance of algorithms require rethinking legal-constitutional frameworks. This study examines the challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems in democratic constitutionalism. This highlights the distinctive nature of GenAI compared to previous AI technologies, including widespread accessibility, mass user feedback enabling continuous refinement, and customisable agents allowing greater user autonomy. These features make the fluid and dynamic nature of GenAI systems incompatible with rigid traditional frameworks. This paper reviews the literature identifying key threats of GenAI to democracy and rights, including identity verification, privacy, information fragmentation, disinformation, deepfakes, and the concentration of power among technocrats. It analyses whether current regulatory frameworks, such as the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act or Digital Services Act, adequately address these concerns and identify potential gaps and limitations. To comprehensively regulate GenAI's societal impacts, this paper proposes considering digital constitutionalism as a theoretical framework to uphold constitutional principles, such as rights protections and limits on private concentration of power in the online sphere and disruptive technology development. Key-words: Algorithmic society; generative artificial intelligence; digital constitutionalism; democratic resilience

Published: August 2024

Resumo: O ponto de vista contemporâneo de direitos humanos originou uma nova esfera da responsabilidade que deixou de ser exclusiva da soberania estatal-constitucional e passou a ser vista como de interesse supranacional. Neste novo contexto, destaca-se a importância da interação e dos diálogos de diferentes planos protetivos, nesse caso do direito interno com o direito internacional, a fim de garantir a efetivação dos direitos humanos baseada na coexistência dessas diversas ordens paralelas e interlocutoras que dialogam em torno do que todas têm em comum: a proteção ecológica atual e para as futuras gerações. Tendo em vista a relevância transnacional do meio ambiente, cresce a importância do diálogo entre as cortes constitucionais e organizações supranacionais, gerando como consequência, o aumento do protagonismo do controle de convencionalidade no ordenamento jurídico pátrio, com a finalidade de integrar de forma harmônica esses direitos. O presente artigo tem como objetivo explorar o conceito de Controle de Convencionalidade a partir do diálogo judicial internacional em matéria ambiental e sua relevância para o ordenamento jurídico pátrio. Para tanto, recorreu-se à pesquisa qualitativa com base bibliográfica e, a partir disso, concluiu-se que o desenvolvimento sustentável é fomentado pelo diálogo judicial internacional e legitimado pelo controle de convencionalidade. Palavras-chaves: Direito Internacional; Direitos Humanos; Controle de convencionalidade; Diálogo Judicial Internacional. Equilíbrio ecológico.

Impact of Forced Relocation and Community Integration on Household Well-being of Urban Refugees in Kenya
Authors: Lydia Cheruto Pkaremba
Published: August 2024

Forced displacement is a global issue that affects millions of people all over the world. Refugees are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or other forms of violence. The majority of refugees often end up in urban areas, where they face numerous challenges, including social exclusion, limited access to basic services, and economic marginalization. This study examines the relationship between forced displacement, social cohesion, and household welfare outcomes of urban refugees in Kenya. The study utilized household data on urban refugees in Kenya sourced from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), 2020 [85], and, the Kenya Continuous Household Survey (KCHS), 2019 [41]. The study estimates were regressed using the Ordinary Least Squares method and diagnostic tests were done to determine the accuracy of the estimates. The study found that an additional member in an urban refugee household led to an asset increment of 6.7%. The study further found that an additional habitable dwelling in an urban refugee household increased family assets by 71.9%. Utilization of mobile banking services, having nuclear members abroad, and participation in community-based organizations also had a positive impact on family asset accumulation in a refugee household. The study also found that utilization of mobile money transfer (M-PESA), negatively influenced family assets. This study contributes to the literature on Urban refugees as it gives insights into factors that can improve welfare and enhance social cohesion between refugees and host communities in Kenya. Gaps have also been identified in the mandate of UNHCR beyond the camps and the role of the Kenyan Government in urban housing programs for refugees.

The multiplicity of tax laws and heavy tax burden facing companies in developing countries such as Nigeria has resulted in the adoption of different strategies to reduce tax liabilities. The main objective of this study therefore was to examine the effect of tax planning on financial performance of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022. The measures of tax planning adopted in this study were effective tax rate, tax incentives, debt tax shield and capital intensity. Return on assets was the measure of financial performance. The research design adopted for this study was ex-post facto because secondary data was used. The population of this study consisted of 21 listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria and purposive sampling technique was employed to select 18 of these companies. The ordinary least square regression technique was used to analyze the data and the statistical package employed was E-views version 10. The findings of the study revealed that effective tax rate has a negative and insignificant effect on the return on assets (ROA); tax incentives has a significant positive effect on return on assets; debt tax shield has significant and positive effect on return on assets; capital intensity has a positive but insignificant effect on return on assets of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Thus, it was concluded that tax planning activities impact on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on the above it was recommended among others that the management of consumer goods companies should focus on long term tax planning rather than solely concentrating on reducing effective tax rate. The management of consumer goods companies should also explore and take full advantage of available tax incentives by capitalizing on applicable tax incentives provided by the regulatory environment.

THEORY OF RECEPTION AND CRITICISM OF FILMS BASED ON THE RECEPTION AND CRITICISM OF THE FILM “ANNA KARENINA” (1997)
Authors: SALIHU Ajmon
Published: August 2024

The word reception means the acceptance of foreign ideas, norms and values or behaviors. Reception history elaborates the reception that a literary text, a film, or in this case an adaptation of a novel, has found in its audience over time. This paper delves into the core concepts of film reception theory, shedding light on how audiences interpret and actively engage with cinematic narratives. The theoretical part includes different perspectives, recognizing that audience responses are shaped by individual experiences, cultural contexts, and societal influences. This study also delves into the concept of criticism, whether that from the audience or from theorists and critics. This study after the theoretical part of the reception elaborates the reception and criticism of the film Anna Karenina (1997) directed by Bernard Rose. As an adaptation of the novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (1887), criticism and reception in this case focuses, among other things, on the stallings and deviations of the adapted story. Additionally this paper addresses the evolving landscape of film reception in the digital age, considering the impact of online communities, social media and interactive platforms on audience engagement. This study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on film reception theory by providing insights into the multifaceted nature of audience engagement and its implications for the wider field of film studies. During this study, I came to the conclusion that coded messages and pre-existing expectations also influence the audience’s reception of a film. The coded message is deciphered by the audience based on the knowledge they possess and not the way the producer thought. In this case, the producer too should not convey messages that are not easily decoded by the audience.
