MEDIA DIMENSIONS: COMPARING STORYTELLING ACROSS LITERATURE, CINEMA AND VIDEOGAME
Authors: Martinez L. Yana L. 
Published: June 2024

This study delves into the distinctive dimensions of storytelling across different media, focusing on literature, cinema, and videogames. It examines how users interact with each medium and how the nature of the medium shapes the relationship between the user and the narrative product. In literature, the reader engages in a process of imagination, constructing the narrative based on the author's cues. Cinema presents a visual and auditory spectacle to the spectator, offering a reception of the story unfolding on screen. On the other hand, videogames empower the player to control and interact with the digital environment, shaping the narrative through their actions. The analysis highlights the individual characteristics of each medium, from the linear narrative of literature to the interactive storytelling of videogames. It also explores the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the evolving nature of interactive videogame worlds. By understanding these dimensions and their impact on user engagement, this study provides insights into the diverse ways in which storytelling manifests across different media forms.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0757/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
MORAL DECADENCE AS SOCIAL CANCER: RESOCIALIZATION AS AESTHETICS OF NECESSITY IN EVERY DAY IS FOR THE THIEF
Authors: Kokou Boussangue 
Published: June 2024

<p>Moral decadence, which is the collapse of moral and ethical values, norms, and principles, has not escaped the creative imagination of the American-Nigerian novelist, Teju Cole in his novel Every Day is for the Thief. In this novel, the unnamed narrator discusses this issue without sympathy and shows the extent to which unethical deeds have cut across the social strata with the benediction of all the stakeholders, unfortunately. The corruption and violence inherent in these unethical activities are characteristics of a society in decadence. The analysis of data gathered shows that the perceived causes of these have their roots in the activities of corrupt civil servants in complicity with government officials, and the youth who are exposed to inappropriate media with a lack of parental guidance. This paper examines the issue of moral decadence, its root catalysts and the urgent need to address this problem in an effort to bring back moral sanity through socialization and resocialization. The analysis is done through the lens of psychoanalysis, and the findings suggest that resocialization/re-education and a shift in mindset can aid in the restoration of ethical values, ultimately paving the way for a thriving and sustainable society.</p><p>La décadence morale, qui est l’effondrement des valeurs, normes et principes moraux et éthiques, n’a pas échappé à l’imagination créatrice du romancier américano-nigérian Teju Cole dans son roman « plusieurs jours pour le voleur ». Dans ce roman, le narrateur anonyme aborde cette question sans sympathie et montre à quel point les actes contraires à l'éthique ont malheureusement traversé les couches sociales avec la bénédiction de toutes les parties prenantes. La corruption et la violence inhérentes à ces activités contraires à l’éthique sont les caractéristiques d’une société en décadence. L'analyse des données recueillies montre que les causes perçues de ces phénomènes trouvent leur origine dans les activités des fonctionnaires d’état corrompus en complicités avec les responsables du gouvernement, et une jeunesse qui est exposée à des médias inappropriés et sans surveillance parentale. Cet article examine la question de la décadence morale, ses catalyseurs fondamentaux et le besoin urgent de résoudre ce problème dans le but de ramener la morale par la socialisation et la resocialisation. L'analyse est effectuée à travers le prisme de la psychanalyse et les résultats suggèrent que la resocialisation/rééducation et un changement de mentalité peuvent contribuer à la restauration des valeurs éthiques, ouvrant ainsi la voie à une société prospère et durable.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0751/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

OH MY DARLING CLEMENTINE: PRESENCE VS ABSENCE OF FRUIT LEAVES ON THE JUDGMENT OF A FRUIT-JUICE
Authors: Jacob Céline , Guéguen Nicolas , Delfosse Christine 
Published: June 2024

Some studies have shown that incidental cues, present in the immediate environment of an individual, affect an individual's behaviour and judgment. However, the effect of such incidental cues on food judgment has never been examined. In this study, participants were asked to taste a clementine juice contained in a bottle and to rate it on several factors (good taste, organic, quality, natural, and fresh). A dozen clementines were displayed on a table either with their leaves or without. Results showed that the fruit-juice was perceived more positively when clementines with their leaves were displayed on the table. The importance of natural cues associated with fruits in order to increase their interest in individuals was discussed.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0771/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Wibawa A. B. , Utama A. P. , Titis Panca 
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the relationship between service quality and purchase intention, with consumer confidence acting as a mediator. The variables tested included service quality as an exogenous variable, purchase intention as an endogenous variable, and consumer confidence as a mediator. The main hypothesis posits that service quality affects purchase intention, with consumer confidence mediating this relationship. The study subjects were respondents who were members of tandasalib.com, and the sample size consisted of 252 individuals. Data collection techniques involve measuring purchase intention according to Ajzen and Fishbein's (1967) Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA); consumer confidence according to Pavlov's theory (2003) using scales such as Brand, Web, and E-Trust; and service quality according to Kotler's theory (2010) using the RATER framework (Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, Reliability). The Structural Equation Model (SEM was used for data analysis in this study. The major hypothesis suggests that service quality affects purchasing intentions, with consumer confidence acting as a mediator. The purpose of this research is to investigate the rapid development and growth of tandasalib.com in meeting consumer desires within a short period.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
REDEFINING ORGANIZATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY CONTEXT: A SCALE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
Authors: Gloria Johannes V. , Manayan Francis Evan L. 
Published: June 2024

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of Organizational Safety and Health (OSH) systems within construction companies, integrating quantitative exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (with all 300 respondents being professionals in the construction industry) with qualitative thematic analysis. Data was gathered through administering an adapted survey tool with 31 close-ended responses. Data collected in the initial phase will lay the foundation for the identification of the factors as well as the appropriate items that should be loaded into the factors on OSH in the construction industry via EFA, followed by another data gathering procedure intended to verify whether the results of EFA are valid. This is done through CFA. The research identifies vital internal, external, and technical factors influencing OSH implementation, emphasizing the critical role of internal factors such as "Regular Safety Practices," "Robust Safety Policies," and "Employee Involvement" (Huang et al., 2018; Neal et al., 2021). Findings from both EFA and CFA highlight the identified factors as valid and reliable, with the third model emerging as the most representative of the hypothesized OSH model. Statistical results indicate high factor loadings and favourable model fit indices across various measures, including Chi-Square (CMIN), Root Mean Squared Residuals (RMR), and Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) (Zohar, 2010). The study’s significant findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach to OSH, with internal factors being primary drivers and external and technical factors playing supportive roles. Recommendations for construction companies include tailored OSH program development, strategic leadership engagement, investment in training and continuous improvement, enhanced communication and reporting mechanisms, collaborative industry benchmarking, and incorporation of multicultural perspectives. These recommendations address key indicators such as organizational commitment, competence, effective communication, and safety culture enhancement (Clarke &amp; Ward, 2016; Tam et al., 2017). Further research directions may emphasize the need for specific interventions and broader population sampling to enhance OSH systems comprehensively across the construction sector.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE USES OF SOCIAL NETWORKS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES AMONG CAMEROONIAN STUDENTS
Authors: Aimé Wakeu Martial 
Published: June 2024

This study aims to understand the attraction of Cameroonian students to social networks during the teaching-learning process and to report on their uses and consequences in the process of their training and their lives in general. To achieve this objective, an online survey through Google Forms was conducted in two phases with 297 students enrolled in Cameroonian universities and colleges from October to December 2021. The results show that WhatsApp, Google, Facebook, YouTube, Telegram, etc., are used, among other things, for information, communication, entertainment, research, sharing and/or reading lessons, and teaching at a distance. Despite the loss of concentration, time, laziness and addictions that they can cause, they facilitate the research process, the deepening and discovery of the lessons, the open-mindedness and punctuality. Self-discipline, organisational skills, awareness and the adoption of responsible behaviour are strategies in order to curb the adverse effects of their use. The study, therefore, concludes that the growing popularity of these media among students is explained by the advantages and ease of use they offer.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0477/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: June 2024

The coach-athlete relationship in sports is one of those areas affected by the sudden shift in paradigm caused by the pandemic. The coaches’ ability to interact with their athletes has changed after the pandemic crisis. Using the self-determination and behaviorism theories, the study’s primary purpose is to identify the level of coaching practices, the level of athletes’ behavior towards sports, and the significant relationship between these two variables. The participants of this study were 186 varsity athletes from different sports at the college level of the University of Mindanao. This study used a descriptive quantitative correlation study to describe the relationship that naturally occurs between and among them. The study's overall result shows no significant relationship between coaching practices and athletes' behavior toward sports, specifically on the antisocial behavior of athletes. However, the result also revealed that coaching practices have a significant relationship and are related to the athletes' prosocial behavior. The findings indicate that coaching practices did not affect athletes' antisocial behavior, but did affect the athletes’ prosocial behavior with the sport. Future studies could focus on including other aspects of coaching practices as it shows a significant effect on the prosocial behavior of the athlete.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0877/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Nang Nguyen Toan , Giao Tran Nam 
Published: June 2024

In today's world, students who actively learn are very useful members of society. Engaging in active learning stimulates students' curiosity, and if they are curious, it will foster a positive perception of the learning process in general and specialized subjects in particular. The purpose of the study is to build a scale to apply and evaluate the current state of positivity in theoretical lessons of the research subjects. The research uses methods of synthesizing and analyzing documents, interviews and statistics. The research population included 94 students majoring in sports management at Tra Vinh University, Vietnam. The research results have built a scale to evaluate the positivity in theory lessons of the research subjects, including 35 questions in 03 groups. Eleven questions were asked about active learning in the classroom, thirteen questions were about active learning outside of the classroom, and eleven questions were about actively participating in extracurricular activities to enhance learning. In conclusion, students are currently not taking much initiative in their theoretical studies. When it comes to studying theoretical subjects, most students are neither proactive or self-conscious. This is especially true when it comes to their level of self-study outside of class, and their engagement in extracurricular activities is rarely or rarely very high.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0270/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: June 2024

Using a quasi-experimental research design merged with a descriptive survey design; the researcher examined the effect of ICT integration in enhancing story grammar achievement among secondary school learners with hearing impairment in the counties of Tharaka Nithi and Embu in Kenya. This study was guided by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) theory. Purposively, a secondary school for learners with HI was picked from each county. All learners (40), 2 teachers teaching English and the principals from the two sampled schools were used as the sample size. Learners were presented with a Students Story Grammar Achievement Test (SSGAT) for pre- and post-test. Further, questionnaires were used to gather more data from both the learners and the English teachers, while principals were engaged in an open-ended interview. The study findings revealed that ICT integration enhances story grammar achievement (t = 2.415, p = 0.0180) among secondary school learners with hearing impairment. The researcher suggests monitoring the 2021 ICT policy on education and training implementation, educating teacher trainees on technology integration, reviewing school strategic plans, and digitalizing story grammar resources for learners with HI.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
