THE ROLE OF FEEDBACK AS AN ELEMENT OF COMMUNICATION IN ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Authors: Dmytruk Olena
Published: November 2022

The article addresses the possibility of adapting educational institutions to the rapidly growing demands of various stakeholders through the proper alignment of communication processes in the educational management system. First and foremost, we are concerned with the expectations of the learners in an environment where distance learning becomes an equally effective form of education using information and communication technologies, and the learning process is carried out with participants who are at a distance with each other.

The research interest is focused on an important part of learning that is one of the communication elements, namely "feedback", which is an impact aimed at improving the organization of the system drawing on the performance analysis. At this stage of communication there is an exchange of information and communication roles between the teacher and the student, allowing to achieve the highest degree of mutual understanding (cooperation). It is "feedback" that urges to overcome the so-called random and non-random "noise interference", ensures the ability to decode feedback, and most importantly, that under its influence meaningful changes occur. The effectiveness of "feedback" depends on how detailed, specific, immediate it is because it takes into account the information capabilities of its subjects. Consequently, the teacher as a manager of the educational process, must have the technologies and techniques for the optimal managing of educational and cognitive activities, as well as the necessary professional competencies to implement this stage. The learner should not be perceived as an object of managerial influence, but rather as its actor. All of that taken together will contribute to the updating of educational and methodological packages and enhance the learning activity, transforming it from traditional to interactive process. From this perspective, the main goal of educational management will be achieved, namely the formation of an independent and self-sufficient personality, its creative mindset, spiritual and moral values, competitiveness, marketing preparedness.

Authors: Krajewska Anna
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to indicate the determinants of the impact of foreign direct investment on the region's economy. The benefits and negative effects of FDI influence on the region are presented. FDI distribution in geographical space is usually uneven and correlated with the regions' economic development level. FDI is generally concentrated in already well-developed regions, metropolitan areas and large cities. This situation further strengthens vital regions and leads to increased disparities between areas. It is essential to bear in mind the benefits resulting from foreign direct investment in the region and be aware of the threats it may cause.

Authors: Kalinowska Beata
Published: November 2022

The aim of this article was to review the financial support dedicated to organic farming to the area of organic farmland in Poland after accession to the EU and the important changes in the specific conditions for granting financial support in the period 2004-2018 that may have an impact on the reduction of interest in running farms using organic methods. The current legislation in force from 2004 to 2018 on the basis of which payments were granted for the area of organic agricultural land was analysed. It was found that changes in the regulations for applications starting the five-year agri-environmental commitment in terms of package 2 organic farming, under RDP 2004-2006 and RDP 2007-2013, and the organic commitment from RDP 2014-2020, may have had an impact on the reduction of interest in running farms using organic methods and the decrease in their number.

Authors: Bernard Toffa Akuetey , Adzei Mawuli , Duhoe Alberta Aseye Ama
Published: November 2022

This study examines the irony in the two religions, Christian and Islamic with respect to the organization and patronage of funerals in Ghana. Data was collected in four communities across Ghana comprising two Christian and two Moslem communities. This study adopted a collection of both primary and secondary data sources. The primary data was analyzed qualitatively in order to obtain the information on the funeral services conducted in the religions of Islam and Christianity. The study relied on appropriate primary sources. Such primary data was collected at a realistic level through informal conversational interviews, organized individual interviews and focus group interviews (FGIs). Islamic rules prescribe certain guidelines of how Muslims plan for a burial. Most of the particulars of Muslim funeral rites are taken from Prophet Muhammad’s terms. Christian funeral procedures on the other hand are diversified across sects, regions, and cultural heritage. The Christians advocates for the dead to be buried with respect, but does not propose the particulars of funeral services. The study gives the information on the different practices adopted by the Islamic and Christian religions and therefore contributes to the knowledge of research.
Leadership and self-evaluation: the best practice for organizational performance today
Authors: Mbogori Zakayo Muriuki , Ongeti Walter
Published: November 2022

Self-evaluation exercise remains unpopular among many employees and leaders across the globe. This is partly driven by the fact that many people would not want to find out how they are performing as employees or leaders in their respective organizations. This paper presents findings carried out on ten employees at the Ministry of Works in Kenya and their Chief Finance Officer. They were chosen using cluster quota random sampling. The instrument used to collect data was questionnaires and behavior observation while the data analysis techniques were statistic descriptive and multivariate analyses of variance. The study reveals that most employees and leaders who carry out self-evaluation exercises regularly end up being more productive in their organizations and this reflects directly on the performance of their respective organizations. The study recommends that many leaders and followers should carry out self-evaluation exercises to improve their leadership skills and the performance of their organizations.
Effectiveness of character and style in communicating myths of origin: A critical analysis of Tigania Community of Kenya
Authors: Rukunga Mwamukui Priscila , Ndege Speranza
Published: November 2022

Characterization in a work of art comprises the persons through whom the writer speaks to his audience. Characters play a vital role in literature as they control the plot of the story, bring out themes and arouse and sustain interest. Forster (1972) asserts that the importance of characterization is anchored on the fact that a writer is able to appeal to the intelligence and imagination of the reader. This paper examines six myths of origin from the Tigania Community. These myths are: The Origin of Death, Red-Thigh Woman, (Ngirani), Domestication of Animals, 'Gichiaro', Naming Patterns and Rain and Thunderstorms. These reveal the deep-rooted cultural subversion of the female gender and there seems no hope of unwarping the woman from the intricate web that culture has constructed for her. Characterization and style have been artistically interwoven in the creation of the myths. Chapman (1973) stipulates that in a literary work, language is conscious in formation and that it is a medium not only for communication or expression but for effect. This paper exposes a myriad of challenges assailing the female gender in the Tigania Community, whose patrilineal set up is deeply entrenched, this woman had desperately resigned to her fate.
Assessment of pottery as a tool for expression and community reintegration in women prisons in Kenya
Authors: Otieno Jane
Published: November 2022

In developed countries, studies have shown that pottery as a form of visual culture encourage self-expression and prepare inmates for release and employment. However, existing studies have failed to investigate pottery in women prisons in Kenya as an effective tool for self- expression and a means to self-reliant. The study aim was to examine pottery as a tool for expression and community reintegration in women prisons in Kenya. The study areas were Lang’ata and Kisii women prisons with a population of 34 respondents. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample 4 illustrators and 30 inmates. The study utilized questionnaire, interview and observation guide to collect data. This study was guided by Vygotsky’s Art and Creativity theory. Descriptive research design guided the study. Using descriptive statistics under the qualitative and quantitative research designs, the study revealed that participants valued the process of creating pottery as a form of expression with age, education and prison confinement being some of the areas that contributed to effective application of images in pottery. The study recommended improvement of facilities in pottery section, retrain of illustrators and encouragement of inmates to intensify on the use of imagery in pottery for self-expression in preparation for successful reintegration.
Racial and textual translation through signifyin(g) and eshu in Ika Hügel-Marshall’s Invisible Woman: Growing Up Black in Germany (2008)
Authors: Martins José Endoença
Published: November 2022

This study outlines the “call and response” process, by means of which African-German Ika Hügel-Marshall’s (2012) autobiography Daheim unterwegs: Ein deutsches Leben and its English version Invisible Woman: Growing up Black in Germany (2008) establish translational dialogues through both interraciality and intertextuality. Racially, both entanglement and separation between white Germany and black America is under analysis; linguistically, both disentanglement and harmony between German and English languages invites study. The emphasis on interraciality and intertextuality helps us see translation as conversation between two racialized worlds (Germany/USA) and two specific literary products (source/target texts). The analysis of Marshall’s translation highlights her dealing with black and white values, through the notions Negriceness, Negritude and Negriticeness; the study of the narrative’s rendition emphasizes manipulations of source and target languages through the concepts Paralatio, Similatio and Translatio.

Authors: Longpoe Mercy Ojima
Published: November 2022

This work is a linguo-Stylistic study of Eddie Iroh’s Banana Leaves. It examines the linguistic and stylistic elements used by the author which generally define his individual peculiarity. These resources were purposively identified for the study, through a critical analysis of the text. In all, a total of thirty extracts from the text were used to identify the peculiar linguistic and stylistic features. These elements include his diction, cohesive markers, graphology, sentence types as well as the narrative devices, character and characterization, and the descriptive ability of the author. The study found that Iroh is not economical in the use of punctuation marks. He also employed more of simple sentences and the diction is generally simple. Cohesive devices employed by the author such as linking adverbials, coordinating conjunctions, amplification, emphasis, etc. were used to create links within the text. The study found that he employed such stylistic tools as his descriptive ability in the text to express meanings to his target audience. Thus, Iroh through these linguistic and stylistic elements discussed in the study, has been established as a prolific writer. The study concludes that the employment of stylistic tools enhances better understanding of the text and also reveals Iroh’s linguistic peculiarities and stylistic dexterity.
Women as muted voices and silenced subalterns in Razinat Mohammed’s A Love Like a Woman’s and Other Stories
Authors: Inuwa Fatima
Published: November 2022

Women, especially in northern Nigeria have become the silenced “subalterns” due to misconceptions about the Islamic religion especially on issues of polygamy, domestic violence, segregation, exploitation, dehumanization and various types of abuses meted on them. This paper seeks to examine how female characters are depicted in Razinat T. Mohammed’s A Love like a Woman’s and Other Stories and the various mechanisms that have situated them into the position of the silenced subalterns. Anchoring on Gayatri Spivak’s “Can the Subaltern Speak” the paper argues that women in A Love like a Woman’s and Other Stories are doubly marginalized and are constantly silenced by men due to the northern tradition and the misinterpretation of the Islamic religion. This paper posits that women are continually held in a vicious cycle: from birth through death, they are given defined roles. More so, the paper surmises that at adolescence, women in Northern Nigeria are forced into early marriages, bastardized under polygamy, politically dehumanized and sabotaged economically in a male-dominated society.
Anthroponymy in Eastern Nilotic: A case of Turkana personal names
Authors: Kinyua Susan , Barasa David
Published: November 2022

This paper is about personal names given to Turkana children at birth, during the rite of passage to adulthood and throughout one’s life. Following the lexical pragmatic theory according to Wilson (2003) and Carston (2002), the paper establishes the morpho-syntactic features of the Turkana names, that is, the inflectional and derivational features. It also presents the semantics and pragmatics of selected personal and nicknames and concludes that all Turkana names are meaningful, and context plays a major role in identifying their correct interpretation. Socio-cultural factors govern the pragmatic meaning of the names and how they convey messages. Thus, approximation, narrowing, and metaphorical extension are some of the processes that bring out the meaning of names - drawn from the context surrounding the birth.

Published: November 2022

The study examined the folk media: existence, forms, uses and challenges in the Mende indigenous communities of Southern Sierra Leone. A mixed methods research design of 120 participants was developed, selected from 3 communities with 40 participants in each community. The mixed approach used both quantitative and qualitative research designs in the study. The interviews were initially conducted using interview questions related to the existence of folk media, its use and the challenges it faced in the study area. Three focus group discussions were held in 3 communities, randomly selected on the outskirts of the Southern part of Sierra Leone. A quantitative research approach helped analyse simple statistical data collected by the researchers. The findings revealed that folk media exist in the Mende communities studied; and that the use of Mende folk media is fraught with major challenges. The findings also revealed that the use of Mende folk media is rare in indigenous Mende communities which is a major challenge in preserving the practices and their uses in the selected communities. The findings also showed that Mende folk media play an important role in disseminating social, religious, and cultural information, including being used in ceremonies such, as litigation, court hearings, singing and storytelling sessions, naming, weddings and political campaigns, and funerals. The findings also revealed that traditional Mende media are mainly used by the nominees of Paramount Chiefs, the community griots, the heads of the tribal and secret societies and volunteers.

Authors: Koronya Charity Kinya , Olungah Charles Owuor , Odipo George
Published: November 2022

This study sought to investigate beliefs about induced abortion in the Igembe community, Meru County. Purposively sampled individuals provided data via case narratives, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Transcripts were generated verbatim, and data was thematically analyzed in accordance with the objectives of the study. Inducing abortion was culturally acceptable and recognized in Igembe, particularly when an uncircumcised girl became pregnant or when an uncircumcised boy got a girl pregnant. Such abortions were obtained by men who had been specifically trained by elders for the purpose. Isolation of the pregnant girl/woman from family and peers, counselling in preparation for the abortion, cleansing of the girl and family after the procedure, use of herbs, rolling of banana stalks on the girl's/stomach, woman's and insertion of objects in the private parts were all practices used to induce abortion. According to the study, women were subjected to induced abortion in order to ensure adherence to social norms and reduce pre-marital sex. Women in Igembe continue to obtain abortions, and traditional approaches and legislation have been ineffective in eliminating the practice. Furthermore, religious beliefs, traditions, and socio-cultural norms continue to stigmatize and condemn abortion-seekers. Furthermore, the decision to have an abortion is motivated by both internal and external forces that are carefully considered by the concerned women.

Published: November 2022

Employees’ happiness is important for retaining hotel staff because of the nature of their long working hours. Grounded in the Fredrick motivational theory. The survey aimed to ascertain the association between “job satisfaction and turnover intention” in hotel operational staff in the Accra metropolitan area. Using the factor analysis data techniques, four main underlying factors including “pay, supervision, promotion as well as training and advancement” were found to have explained hotel employees’ job happiness in the Accra metropolis. The correlation analysis demonstrated a negative association between job satisfaction and the intentions for turnover. The recommendation to managers is that this situation can be address by paying hotel worker with good salaries/wages as their reward whilst creating opportunities for promotion.

Potential socio-economic challenges facing small-scale sugarcane production in Bungoma County, Kenya
Authors: Khaemba Protas Fwamba , Muiruri Philomena W.
Published: November 2022

The sugar industry is an important agricultural sector in Kenya. In 1995, the industry had employed over 35,000 workers and supported over 2 million people in the region.  The sector contributes about 16% to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. Despite of its immense contribution, its output is on decline, standing at 65 tonnes from 100 tonnes per hectare. This paper investigated socio-economic factors affecting sugarcane production in Bungoma County. The study is based on the Production Theory and Correlation Design. The targeted population was 5,838 small scale sugarcane farmers in Bumula Sub-County. The coefficient of determination indicated 67.5% variance in sugarcane output relating to the socio-economic factors of the study variables. The F value was 161.406 indicating that the regression model was fitting well. The mean variance of inflation factor (VIF) was 2.349. The study revealed that education level, farm size, land ownership, farming experience, incentives, record keeping systems, extension education, cane by-products and non-contracted cane farming had significant positive effect on cane output. Input cost was found to be a major contributor of declining cane output. The study recommends that poor cane pricing, lack   of   extension   education and inadequate financing in the sugar sector be addressed.

Solving the Problem of the Provision of Medical Personnel in the Cities of Western Siberia in the Context of the Reform of the Organization of the Healthcare System (1946-1960)
Authors: Dudkina Marina Petrovna
Published: November 2022

In the pre-war period, an active industrial and, as a consequence, demographic growth began in Western Siberia, which continued during the Great Patriotic War. In the same years, there was a steady trend of the social sphere lagging behind the growth of industry, one of the aspects of which was the shortage of qualified personnel in healthcare, the study of the causes and ways of filling which in the post-war fifteenth anniversary is the subject of this article. Solving the problem of personnel shortage, the state used extensive and intensive tools, combining them with each other. If in the first post-war years the emphasis was placed on the quantitative increase in the physical number of medical personnel, then in the late 1940s – early 1950s, the state, within the framework of the undertaken administrative reform, made an attempt to fundamentally change approaches to the organization of work of physicians, changing the order of medical care to the population due to a more optimal use of existing resources. The results of the study led to the conclusion that the flexible innovative policy of the state to solve the personnel problem has significantly mitigated, although not completely eliminated, the shortage of personnel in urban medical institutions in Western Siberia. Unfortunately, the problem of personnel shortage in healthcare in its regional context during the specified time period did not find special coverage in the scientific literature, so the basis for the study was a layer of published and unpublished static data analyzed using general scientific and private scientific methods. Despite the fact that in the early 1970s it was decided to abandon the new model of urban healthcare, the historical experience accumulated during that period is of interest and has not lost its relevance in modern conditions of "optimization" of healthcare.
The Historical Policy of the Russian Communists at the Present Stage.
Authors: Timshina Ekaterina Leonidovna
Published: November 2022

Unified assessments of the past for mass political movements representing the extreme flanks of the political spectrum have become an integral part of party identity in modern society. The activity of political parties can have a significant impact on the memory of society, change collective memories of individual events and even entire historical periods. The author of the article analyzes the attitude of modern Russian communists to the key events of history, identifies the features of their party historical policy, compares approaches with other political parties and narratives of the Soviet era. The main sources were official documents of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the party "Communists of Russia", as well as speeches, interviews and publications of their leaders. The Communist parties turn mainly to the history of Russia, starting with the revolutionary events of 1917. Although Communists actively use formulations from Soviet narratives, their own attitude has been formed to a number of events and processes. The most important differences are related to the assessment of the February Revolution and its results, the perception of the policy of I. V. Stalin. Many historical events (de-Stalinization, the collapse of the USSR) of the party are explained by the presence of international conspiracies, not internal processes. The "Communists of Russia" and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation use their ideas about the past in different ways: the former actively propagandize them during election campaigns and build their election programs on them, the latter weakly use historical politics during electoral battles, making the programs as neutral as possible, but during the inter-election period they actively promote their vision of the past.

The object of the study is the institute of police officers, introduced in the Russian Empire in the last quarter of the XIX century. The subject of the study is the district land plots created in the framework of the reform in the Kazan and Perm provinces. The purpose of the study is to analyze their quantitative characteristics. The theory of modernization is chosen as a general methodology. To achieve this goal, quantitative methods are used, first of all: formal quantitative, correlation and multidimensional (cluster) data analysis. The basis for the quantitative analysis was the "Information" on the distribution of provinces into the district plots (1878), deposited in the Russian State Historical Archive. The main conclusions of the study are the idea that the situation of the police constables of the Perm province was much worse than in Kazan, and the work of the constables was hindered by a significant number of the population of 1/3 of the police stations. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in Russian historiography, correlation and multidimensional cluster analysis by the k-means method was used to analyze the uryadnik sites of the Russian Empire. As a result, for the first time, the classification of district plots was created. 1) sparsely populated; 2) Kazan-type; 3) scattered; 4) overpopulated; 5) too large; 6) scattered and overpopulated district plots were identified.

The city of Terki was founded in 1588 at the mouth of the Terek River, near the Caspian Sea. Most of its inhabitants were military-service people, who were in army service and received a royal salary. The article examines the number, composition, military service and trades of the military-service people of the city of Terki in comparison with other Russian cities. This allows to identify both the common features and peculiarities of the position of military people. The chronological framework of the research is 1620-1640, when there were no major military conflicts in the North Caucasus, but the town of Terki was gradually increasing its influence on the peoples of the region. One of the important tasks of the research is to study the participation of the military-service people in these processes. The article is based on archival documents, some of which are first introduced into scientific circulation. As a result of the study some peculiarities of the social structure of the city of Terki are revealed. Military-service people constituted the majority of the city inhabitants, and there were few other populations. Another feature was the presence among the warriors of representatives of the peoples of the North Caucasus - the Okochan, Kabardian princes and uzdens, and "Novokreschens". They served alongside streltsys, Cossacks and "deti boyarskie". The duties of the military-service people were not limited to military campaigns. They played a major role in ensuring diplomatic relations with neighboring countries, and in the political relations of the peoples of the region. Such features are explained in many respects by the geographical location of the town of Terki. It also influenced the trades of Terek military-service people - the development of fishing or participation in trade with foreign countries.
Legal Protection of the Marine Environment During the Transportation of Oil Products: International Legal Aspects
Authors: Svetskiy Arseniy Vladimirovich
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the risks that arise for the environment during the production and transportation of hydrocarbons. Irreparable damage to the environment is caused as a result of accidents on ships and oil platforms, the consequences of which have been felt for many decades, while the greatest harm is caused by accidents occurring in high latitudes. These include: pollution of the water area following an emergency oil spill, the likelihood of a fire or explosion both on board during transportation and in the port at terminals. Emergency situations may arise as a result of exposure to hard weather conditions, technical malfunctions of the vessel, collision with other vessels, pirate attacks, etc. The article analyzes the provisions of international acts of the greatest interest in the field of protection of the marine environment from hydrocarbon pollution, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78), the International Convention for the Safety of Human Life at Sea (SOLAS 74/88), "International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code)". Proposals have been formulated to improve international and national regulation regarding the legal protection of the marine environment from oil pollution. Thus, it seems expedient to minimize the risks of emergency situations to think about combining the relevant provisions of all conventions into a single document, while eliminating gaps in both international regulation and national legislation in the field of marine transportation of hydrocarbons, to pay increased attention to environmental safety issues.

The problem of the lack of legislative certainty in the field of establishing the principles of separate accounting allowed us to determine the purpose of the article – the development of recommendations for separate VAT accounting based on the analysis of judicial practice. Achieving this goal required solving a number of tasks, including: formation of an understanding of the fundamental features of the division of operations into levels of synthetic and analytical accounting; formation of proposals on the most effective methodology for separate accounting based on judicial practice and the experience of economic activities of organizations from different sectors of the economy. The object of scientific work is a set of socio-economic relations arising in the process of applying VAT tax legislation. The subject of the study is the mechanism of separate accounting for value added tax. The novelty of the work consists in identifying problematic aspects of the functioning of the current tax legislation in the field of separate VAT accounting, as well as offering solutions to them. The main conclusions of the study can be considered the following. The absence in the tax legislation of the obligation to keep separate records when using different VAT rates does not exempt the taxpayer from the obligation to separate transactions and tax bases at different tax rates. This conclusion also applies to taxpayers who carry out operations to loans in cash, despite the fact that VAT is fully deductible when performing such operations. In addition, based on the methods of separate accounting considered in the work, it is worth noting that the accounting methodology, which implies the opening of additional sub-accounts to accounting accounts, is the most effective. It is based on the differentiation of accounts and sub-accounts of accounting, this will allow to collect the necessary information on synthetic accounting accounts on the operational requests of tax authorities.
Regulation of Consumption of Sugary Soft Drinks with the Help of Excise Taxes.
Authors: Prozherina Viktoria  Denisovna
Published: November 2022

Currently, there is a worldwide trend towards an increase in the consumption of soft drinks with a high sugar content. In some countries, special taxes are imposed on this category of goods in order to limit their supply and demand on the market. In Russia, the issue of regulating the consumption of sugary soft drinks with the help of excise taxes is also being discussed, however, the introduction of these taxes into the tax system of the Russian Federation may have both positive and negative consequences. The subject of the study is the excise tax system of the Russian Federation, as the most suitable for regulating the consumption of sugar–containing and sweetened beverages. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to regulate the consumption of sugary soft drinks by introducing an excise tax, as well as to assess the possible consequences of the introduction of this tax. During the research, logical methods, theoretical and comparative analyses were used. The analysis showed that the increase in the morbidity of the population of the Russian Federation for some diseases is indirectly, but is associated with an increase in the production and consumption of soft drinks with a high sugar content. At the same time, the study of international experience has shown that the introduction of additional excise taxes on such drinks, while working out some nuances, can bring a positive effect. For Russia, the introduction of a tax can serve, firstly, as a regulator of the supply and demand of harmful beverages on the market, secondly, as a measure to support domestic producers, and thirdly, as a source of replenishment of the state budget in the long term. The novelty of the study is the mechanism developed by the author for introducing excise taxes on sweet soft drinks into the tax system of the Russian Federation (including the proposed sizes of tax rates and benefit systems). The author also calculated the fiscal effect of the introduction of the tax, studied the problems with the introduction of taxes in foreign countries and proposed their solution.
