Brontë’s The Professor: Colonial Traces
Authors: Dohal Gassim H. 
Published: September 2023

The colonial history and 19th c. English literature have a unique connection. Indeed, writings of this period, particularly novels, contributed to the development of the ideologies that enabled imperialism to continue and persist; the interactions, presentations, and support of the authors varied and took different and complex aspects and forms. In cases, some texts directly address the topic of colonization while other texts hint at, refer to, and address indirectly some behavior and various colonial tendencies. This paper aims to analyze and address Charlotte Brontë's The Professor (written in 1846 and published in 1857); her first book that was published after her death. A contrapuntal reading expresses the narrative's overt and covert references to colonialism though it is initially perceived as a naïve love story. It is one of the unpopular novels that have tackled colonialism in a way or another due to the fact it was written during the peak of the colonial period. This article will trace the colonial elements addressed in the novel. Examining colonial traits in the novel, such as oppression, subjugation, exploitation, the assertion of racial and cultural superiority, etc., is the goal of the current study.

To understand the situation better, we had systematically reviewed existing academic articles from all around the world to discover what is the roles played by the NGOs in facing the pandemic and also the strategies used by them for community development during the pandemic. The existing articles with different research approaches had reported four categories of roles played by the NGOs including (1) a consultant on health awareness; (2) basic necessities provider; (3) training provider for NGOs in pandemic related skills; and (4) educator for COVID-19 awareness. As for the strategies, there are three strategies used in by the NGOs in facing the pandemic including: (1) an innovative technology approach; (2) collaboration for coordination; and (3) capital raising through funding. These roles and strategies slightly differ from existing roles of NGOs as it focusses more on managing the pandemic among the community as well.

Published: September 2023

Religiosity acts as an important marker of personal self-identification and an identification marker of social processes. The paradigm in relation to religion is changing: the secularism of the state and ideological pluralism contributes to an expanded understanding of religion not only as a spiritual tradition, but also as an institution of socialization. This article examines the dynamics of religiosity in Kazakhstan, focusing on the impact of traditional and new forms of religiosity on sociocultural self-identification. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques.

Authors: Gjerazi Blerina , Skana Pranvera 
Published: September 2023

Developments in technology, communication, and various spheres of economic and social life have brought about new approaches to public relations management. As companies continue to develop, there is a growing need not only for capital management, but also for reputation management. Over the last two decades, charity has been a vital element for corporate image consolidation and participation in addressing social needs in the Albanian society. However, recently there has been a shift in managing public relations and charity in corporations, leading to philanthropy as a more sustainable means of creating long-term strategies for reputation management. This paper aims to explore this evolution in the Albanian companies, focusing on their philanthropic activities. The study looks into the reasons why companies engage in such activities and the possible role the latter play in improving their reputation. For this study, we selected cases from five of the largest companies that utilize philanthropic activities as part of their PR strategies in Albania. In-depth data collection and analysis provides a comprehensive and contextualized understanding of the impact philanthropy has on reputation management. Additionally, the study employs a qualitative method, including interviews with industry professionals, academics, and media experts. The collected data shows that philanthropy has become a long-term and strategic element of corporate plans, influencing thus reputation management approaches that aim for continuous and sustainable relationships with all involved stakeholders.

Exploring the Impact of Strategic Leadership on the Sustainability of Technology-Centric Companies: An In-Depth Case Study from Colombia's Northern Coast
Authors: Fontalvo Heidy Rico , De La Puente Mario 
Published: September 2023

This research examines the relationships among various elements of Strategic Leadership and Business Sustainability within tech-based firms located in the northern coastal region of Colombia, spanning the years 2015 to 2019. Initially, a correlation assessment was conducted to pinpoint variables that may be linked. Subsequently, a Dickey-Fuller analysis was employed to ascertain the presence of non-stationary variables and to determine if there was any causality between them, using a significance threshold of P ? 0.05. To substantiate the relationships among the scrutinized variables, a dispersion analysis was carried out, supplemented by a review of scholarly works that previously explored the subject matter. It emerged that solely the variables related to human capital and organizational contexts have an impact on the conduct of the social milieu, which acts as a catalyst for the growth of tech-based enterprises. This research is an enriching addition to existing literature, as it dissects the dynamics of tech-centered companies through a lens that transcends conventional narrative frameworks. This study was based on Heidy Rico doctorate research entitled “Incidence of strategic leadership on business sustainability of Technology-Based Companies in the Department of Atlántico”, Universidad Simon Bolivar, Colombia.

Determinants of Local Government Financial Performance in Indonesia
Authors: Zamzami Faiz , Rakhman Fuad 
Published: September 2023

Regional autonomy is expected to promote financial performance and people’s welfare. This study investigates factors that affect local governments’ financial performance in Indonesia, where performance is defined as the ability to generate local revenues. To test our hypothesis, we used panel data regression analysis. From 2012 to 2019, this study collected 3,747 observations on municipal governments. The dependent variable is local government financial performance, while the independent variables include region size, capital spending, financial reporting quality, audit recommendations, and the horizon problem. We find that the size of the local government, financial reporting quality, and the follow-up on audit recommendations positively affect financial performance. Larger local governments have more resources to generate revenues. High financial reporting quality and accountability are supposed to improve public trust and increase their willingness to make contributions through local tax payments. Capital expenditure, on the other hand, is associated with lower financial performance. This study contributes to the literature on financial performance, especially in the public sector, by providing empirical evidence on factors affecting local government financial performance. This study provides insight to stakeholders by providing evidence on the role of size, capital spending, audit opinion, and follow-up of audit recommendations in accelerating the improvement of financial performance.
