Impact of Work Motivation on service advisors of a public institution in North Lima

In the public sector, today work motivation for its collaborators is a great challenge, taking into account to achieve the development of the objectives it is extremely important that as a public entity they have the appropriate good work environment, so that the human capital feels motivated. committed because they are the pillars of the institution. The current governments are under pressure to continue with the austerity policy, that is, to continue with a policy of reducing public spending, and this results in the freezing of salaries, workers with more than one year of service as service providers, increase in workload, lack of training, and also the demotivation of collaborators. The objective of the research work is to resolve the impact of the work motivation of the service advisors of a public institution in Lima Norte, 2023. The research methodology had a qualitative approach, with a non-experimental design, the research method was a study of case. We worked with 6 collaborators from public institutions, using the interview technique and the instrument of 9 open questions. As general consequences, which we obtained from the responses, the lack and importance of work motivation in the public sector is evident, the lack of monetary and non-monetary recognition, lack of leadership, lack of training, lack of tools to meet goals or objectives, etc. Likewise, the degree of importance of work motivation for employees of public institutions was concluded, because they are responsible for the quality of care and satisfaction for citizens who carry out procedures in different offices nationwide, for which their workforce must be reinforced. (Training, recognition, benefits, etc.), previously understanding the values and reason for being of public institutions and strengthening appropriate and achievable decisions.

The curse of spanning over millennium: Confucian culture and corruption in China

AbstractOver the past millennium, Confucian culture has prevailed in China as a typical informal institution, especially its emphasis on human feelings and interpersonal connections (guanxi) that coincides with the incentives for corruption. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that Confucian culture can generate positive effects on the formation of bureaucratic corruption in China. Using the variation in the number of jinshi across Chinese cities as a proxy for the degree of Confucian culture, and using the number of bribery recipients to measure corruption, we find that regions with more jinshi are associated with more bribe recipients. To address the endogeneity, we employ the Confucian sages in a given city as our instrumental variable. The instrumented results are consistent with our baseline claim. The findings remain robust after using a variety of tests, including using the percentage of bribe recipients instead of the number of bribe recipients, using the number of Confucius temples, Confucian academies and chaste women as alternative Confucian cultural measures, and controlling the impact of the North–South differences. In addition, we find the shock of foreign culture can mitigate the positive effect of Confucian culture on corruption. Finally, mechanism shows that the effect of Confucian culture on corruption can be attributed to the attitudes towards income unfairness, the excessive pursuit of vanity and the emphasis on interpersonal connections.

Examining Thermal Comfort Levels and Physical Performance in Malaysian Settings: A Simulation Chamber Experiment

Thermal comfort refers to a situation where human feels satisfied with the environment's temperature. There is no absolute thermal comfort level that applies to all human, since it is a subjective situation that differ from one person to another. This study's objective is to identify Malaysian thermal comfort level and physical performances under simulation chamber experiment settings. Three young and healthy males with no medical issues were chosen as study respondents. There were four settings in this study; (i) 25°C with 70 RH, (ii) 34°C with 92% RH, (iii) 34°C with 74% RH and (v) 38°C with 83% RH . Respondents were required to imitate construction workers lifting task under the four environment settings. This study findings show a noticeable association between an increase in temperature towards heart rate level. As the temperature rises up, respondents mean and peak HR level also rises. Significant mean and peak HR were identified at 38°C for all respondents. In addition, respondents become fatigue and sluggish much faster at 38°C compared to 25°C and 34°C. The most notable decline in physical abilities was identified for Respondent A under 38°C setting. One possible reason for this situation is that respondent A Body Mass Index (BMI) is much higher than the two other respondents.

Rén qíng wèi (‘flavour of human feelings’) in the pragmeme of delivering Covid-19 directives

Previous studies on advice-giving in health contexts are largely based on face-to-face data or on issues related to target groups of individuals with specific health conditions. However, advice delivered in response to the coronavirus pandemic constitutes an unprecedented health context, as such advice is provided for the benefit of every individual in society. Based on the data of 30 1-min videos produced by the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control, this study investigates how directives are delivered and how rén qíng wèi (‘flavour of human feelings’), a Chinese term that encapsulates a composite of warm feelings, is manifested in the verbal delivery of Covid-19 directives. By conceptualising the delivery of Covid-19 directives as a pragmeme, this study investigates how the pragmeme is realised in Taiwan and examines how rén qíng wèi, an aggregate of culturally valued affectivity, is intertwined with directives, thereby strengthening the affective and cultural dimensions of pragmeme theory.

Patriarchal Culture in Film: Between Myth and Meaning (Audience Reception Analysis of The Film“Yuni”)

Film as an art form is a representation of reality. However, film can also mean reality itself, which is visualized. Film or cinema is embedded in culture and has an exciting relationship with ideology and audience. Thus, films can intervene in human thoughts and feelings. The storyline and film content convey the culture and myths that develop in society. Among the cultural forms that are also part of a film’s narrative is patriarchal culture. Patriarchy is a social system that places men as the main authority figure in social organization. The position of men is higher than that of women in all aspects of social, cultural and economic life. This study aimed to find out the meaning of the audience regarding the patriarchal culture depicted in the film “Yuni”. This research approach is qualitative with the reception analysis method of Stuart Hall’s ‘encoding-decoding’ model. Data collection techniques used focus group discussions (FGD) with five informants. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the informants are in the opposite position in depicting patriarchal structures in aspects of the patriarchal state, male violence, patriarchal relations and patriarchal culture. They interpret it as a picture of the patriarchal structure still shackles women’s lives.

Cognitive Semantics of the Concept «kȍk» in Creating Emotional Concepts

The article examines the emotional nuances of the Kazakh language concept kȍk in language use. The research article reviews the works of scientists who studied the semantic meaning of the names of species and colors in domestic and foreign linguistics and linguistic units in expressing human feelings. The linguistic character of the concept of kȍk is analyzed, revealing the cognitive nature of emotional, expressive words. In addition, a cognitive and linguistic analysis was made of the words expressing inner excitement through the intuition of a person, which is often used in connection with the lexeme kȍk in our language. The linguistic image of the world through the concept of kȍk in national culture and text through the words that express the mood of a person allows to reveal the inner world of humanity and thereby to observe the level of acceptance of joy and sorrow of the whole people. The main goal of the scientific article is to cognitively analyze the emotional tone of the color kȍk within the conceptual field of color names. In the research article, the emotional aspects of the colors and the color kȍk are considered from a cognitive point of view. There are still many problems in Kazakh linguistics, which have not been deeply studied, undiscovered, and undefined aspects of emotional signs of colors. In our modern research, we will consider the emotional aspects of the color kȍk in a linguistic and cognitive manner. From the linguistic point of view, the emotional meaning of kȍk in phraseological words is emphasized individually, and their cognitive nature in linguistic and cultural cognition is deeply studied.

Research of the Phenomenon of Animalistic Art in the Works of Foreign and Russian Authors

The article considers animalistic art as a significant historical and artistic phenomenon, which has become a field of research of foreign and Russian authors. The article analyses important questions concerning the specificity of animalistics and related reflections of world outlook. The author discusses moral issues, asks the question about the role of animals in human history, notes the negative results of the consumerist attitude of man to wildlife and, in this regard, the need for a positive and careful attitude to it. The reader’s attention is drawn to animalistic art as a fertile sphere of influence on human feelings and thoughts, especially in the era of global change. The position of the artist, researcher, looking at and studying the world of living nature is revealed. In this aspect the historical stratum of separate epochs is emphasized, in which the figurative nature of animals and in it the qualities of iconicity, symbol as identifying, concentrated meanings are vividly revealed. The first group of questions considers animalistic art from an educational point of view, allowing us to look at the images of animals and birds from the position of a scholar, study. The second group is related to the method of work of the animalist artist, revealing the peculiarities of the genre. The worldview aspect, determined by the artists’ views on the animal world, is inseparable from the pictorial aspect, i.e. the embodiment of animals and birds in the artistic image. This aspect also implies a conversation about the specificity of animalistics, which in the works of Russian researchers found a clear and precise expression. The relevance of the topic is denoted by the importance of talking about the problems of ecology, which have acquired a pronounced character in the modern world. This universal concept of preservation of the natural world, which has become universal, has opened a new layer of significance of animalistic art. At the present stage, when the main principle — the relationship between man and nature — is being reassessed, the reference to the world of animals, including in the historical and artistic aspect, acquires high significance.

Body Shaming dalam Perspektif Tafsir Al-Mishbah dan Implikasinya pada Realitas Kekinian

Allah mentions in one of His words, namely QS. Al-Isra/17: 70 that humans are given advantages over all the creatures that Allah created on this earth, among which humans generally have good physique, the ability to think, freedom of will and knowledge, but not many people have If you want to think about His Word, nowadays it is very easy to find a number of people saying inappropriate words towards each other, especially regarding someone's physical appearance or appearance. This term is known as body shaming, which is an act of physical shaming, an appearance that makes the person feel insecure about their physical appearance. The problem discussed in this research is regarding body shaming verses and the effectiveness of these interpretations in contemporary reality. Meanwhile, this type of research is included in the type of library research, namely by reading and reviewing a number of literature related to the research problem, then processing it and drawing out the common threads. The interpretation method in this research is the mawdhu'iy method which was popularized by Al-Farmawi. The conclusion from the results of this research is a general description of body shaming which consists of the definition, causes and impacts. Then it was added with an introduction to Tafsir Al-Mishbah which was accompanied by its interpretation of several verses, including the QS. al-Hujurat/49: 11, QS. at-Taubah/9: 79, QS. al-Humazah/104:1 and QS. al-Hijr/15:11, from a number of interpretations these are then implicated in contemporary reality. A number of meanings were found in Quraish Shihab's interpretation, including the loss of human feeling in protecting one's word, the loss of a sense of equality, and the loss of human values.

Poetry, paths, and peatlands: integrating poetic inquiry within landscape heritage research

On the first page of The making of the English landscape, W.G. Hoskins states that ‘poets make the best topographers’. This speaks to the long-standing expression of human feelings, understandings, and experiences of landscape through poetry. In this article, I build from this idea of poetry as a way to write about landscapes to explore how poetic inquiry can be a powerful and appropriate method to research landscapes and their heritage. Using examples from my own research practice of the creation of new poems through a process called poetic transcription, I argue that poetic inquiry is an, as-yet, under-used approach within landscape heritage research. Furthermore, poetry’s capacity to express the plural, affective, sensorial, and subjective dimensions of engagement with landscapes and their heritage offers potential within studies informed by phenomenological and more-than-representational perspectives.

“In the Dark, All the Shadows Disappear”: Remodelling the Poetics of Gripping Horror in Stephen King’s The Institute

Abstract Transformations in the perception of horror by modern readers have provoked an increased tolerance for cruelty and death. This increase challenges authors to use special means of emotional arousal in order to appeal to contemporary audiences. One of Stephen King’s most recent books, The Institute (2019), is replete with such special means. The novel deals with unspeakable terror and centres on a group of psychic kids kidnapped and placed in brutal conditions to serve the dark purposes of powerful men. This article explores King’s ways of expressing horror by affecting universal human experiences, emotions, and feelings. It applies an interdisciplinary perspective based on psychological and hermeneutic approaches to argue that in the non-otherworldly and non-monster horror The Institute, King involves a combination of vocabulary inventions, syntactic transformations, letter emphases, and refined literary devices to create a terrifying atmosphere. These means are explicated in the article to argue that the violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms is, in many ways, more shocking and frightening than traditional bloody images. They help King remodel a dark realm of gripping horror, where fear arises primarily out of a sense of the distorted world order, and enable the writer to critique social institutions for their approval of horrendous harm.

The Beauty and Poverty of Humanity in Shen Congwen's Writing on the World of Xiangxi

Shen Congwen's articles have always been described as the beauty of human feelings in the western Hunan world, away from the humble human nature of the city, and return to the beauty of human nature itself. But is Shen Congwen's writing, especially on the human nature in the world of western Hunan, so one-sided and simple that he loses the true nature of human nature and becomes a lack of human nature?

‘In Christ’: a participatory account

Paul often uses the phrase ‘in Christ’ in his letters. Teresa Morgan has written an important book that rejects a participatory interpretation of this phrase, suggesting an encheiristic interpretation instead (that it means ‘in his hands’). I provide a participatory view, in terms of a sharing of divine and human minds, in experience, feeling and action. By considering Professor Morgan’s account of ‘en Christo’ in Galatians, I argue that a participatory view adds something important to, without detracting from, an encheiristic view.

Aesthetics of Non-Conformism in Design Of Stage Space by Daniel Lider (1965–1975)

The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the manifestation of non-conformism tendencies in the work of Danylo Lider, People's Artist of Ukraine, chief artist of the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theatre in Kyiv in 1965–1975. Research methodology. The article uses a typological method (to identify the peculiarities of non-conformism in accordance with the specifics of stage design); a functional and typological method, which helped to identify the specifics of non-conformism in D. Lider's plastic solutions; a method of art historical, figurative and stylistic, formal and stylistic analysis of the design of the stage space of performances developed by D. Lider in 1965-1975. Scientific novelty. Non-conformism as a method of artistic thinking in the context of the specifics of the design of theatrical art of Ukraine in the 1960s-1990s is studied. The specificity of the manifestation of non-conformist tendencies in the work of one of the leading Ukrainian theatre artists D. Lider is revealed. Based on the analysis of architectonic elements and features of the visual image of the stage space of the plays "Diary Page" by O. Korniichuk (directed by V. Lyzogub, 1965), "Yaroslav the Wise" by I. Kocherha (directed by B. Meshkis, 1970), "The Time of Yellow Leaves" by O. Kolomiiets (1973), "Hello, Pripiat!" by O. Levada (directed by S. Smiian, 1974) revealed the characteristic features of Danylo Lider's non-conformism. Conclusions. The non-conformism of national theatre artists, in particular D. Lider, has a number of specific features that distinguish it from non-conformism in literature and the visual arts. The artist expresses a huge ideological, spiritual and artistic protest by means of multidimentional metaphorisation. Using myths and the tendency of his own consciousness to deep philosophical mystification of reality, he creates amazing, fantastic worlds within a given stage space. A peculiar reaction to the limitations of positivist aesthetics and naturalistic tendencies of socialist realism in D. Lider's work was the play of metaphors and associations. Non-conformism in the design of D. Lider's stage art is manifested in a complex synthesis of the master's philosophical, ideologicall and aesthetic concepts with the actual searches for new artistic forms. Its characteristic features are: a tendency to an highly complex, symbolic portrayal of one's own ideas and impressions, to a sophisticated coding of artistic means; immersion in the spiritual world and unusual forms of expression of new psychological material obtained as a result of comprehending the literary source of the stage production; creation of a figurative and plastic structure of the performance that goes far beyond the dramatic material; destruction of the canons of traditional artistic design in the style of socialist realism in search of a new reality; emphasis on the nuances of the deep shades of human feelings. Key words: non-conformism, stage space design, D. Lider, architectonics, metaphorisation, symbolic representation.

Animal selfhood and affectivity in Helmuth Plessner's philosophical biology

AbstractHelmuth Plessner's philosophical anthropology is undergirded by a comprehensive theory of living nature. Central to this philosophical biology is the claim that animals lack self‐consciousness but their awareness of their surroundings is nevertheless anchored in a self. Since Plessner does not explain how this unselfconscious self is manifest to the animal, the warrant for his claim remains unclear. Following Plessner's construal of human existence as a radically transformed variant of animal life, I argue that he leaves animals' selfhood unaccounted for because he overlooks the animal precursor of the feeling of pleasure and displeasure, which affords a pre‐reflective self‐awareness. I fill this lacuna by drawing on Kant's and Plessner's theories of human feelings, Hans Jonas's conception of animal emotion, and recent arguments that make evaluative affects fundamental to animal consciousness. Revised along these lines, Plessner's framework allows us to specify how animal affectivity is transformed in self‐conscious human life.

M3GAT: A Multi-modal, Multi-task Interactive Graph Attention Network for Conversational Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Recognition

Sentiment and emotion, which correspond to long-term and short-lived human feelings, are closely linked to each other, leading to the fact that sentiment analysis and emotion recognition are also two interdependent tasks in natural language processing (NLP). One task often leverages the shared knowledge from another task and performs better when solved in a joint learning paradigm. Conversational context dependency, multi-modal interaction, and multi-task correlation are three key factors that contribute to this joint paradigm. However, none of the recent approaches have considered them in a unified framework. To fill this gap, we propose a multi-modal, multi-task interactive graph attention network, termed M3GAT, to simultaneously solve the three problems. At the heart of the model is a proposed interactive conversation graph layer containing three core sub-modules, which are: (1) local-global context connection for modeling both local and global conversational context, (2) cross-modal connection for learning multi-modal complementary and (3) cross-task connection for capturing the correlation across two tasks. Comprehensive experiments on three benchmarking datasets, MELD, MEISD, and MSED, show the effectiveness of M3GAT over state-of-the-art baselines with the margin of 1.88%, 5.37%, and 0.19% for sentiment analysis, and 1.99%, 3.65%, and 0.13% for emotion recognition, respectively. In addition, we also show the superiority of multi-task learning over the single-task framework.

Tweens: A Positive Psychology Family Intervention for Adolescents with Depression- or Anxiety-related Symptomatology

Positive psychology is the scientific study of human thoughts, feelings and behaviour that focuses on building resources rather than treating illness. The current pilot study utilised qualitative methods to explore an intervention, ‘Tweens’, based on proven methods from positive psychology. Tweens was designed to be suitable for adolescents aged 11–14, who experienced symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress. A defining feature of Tweens is that it included both the afflicted children and their parents, and is the first study to examine a positive psychology family intervention for this target group. Using Constructive Grounded Theory, this study sought to determine what meaning, if any, the participants ascribed to Tweens and how they integrated the methods into their daily lives. The study also investigated why some participants did not find the intervention meaningful or effective. The results show that the experienced meaningfulness of Tweens can be divided into three main categories: (1) A sense of belonging or togetherness, (2) The utility of the tools that were taught, and (3) An increased mindsight and learning how to choose actions mindfully. The results are discussed in light of the broaden-and-build theory: when parents and children have shared knowledge and vocabulary for talking about well-being, supportive upward spirals occur. All the adolescents did not perceive the intervention as meaningful, and we discuss variations in depressiveness, problematic life circumstances and possible flaws in the intervention as possible reasons for this.

The Chinese Moral Cultivation

Historically, the Confucian classics tell us the importance of moral practices. Presently, educators are concerned about how to cultivate well-developed individuals. In this paper, I introduce the examples of Chinese moral cultivation. At group level, morality can be practiced from things such as maintaining public health system; caring and protecting public construct and tools; and devoting to public good. At personal level, moral practice can be exercised by the belief of what you do not want done to yourself do not do to others; to blame oneself severely and to blame others lightly; and do not fear the strong and insult the weak. Here I intend to clarify the existence and development of human feelings and wisdom must rely on society. From this point of view, we get a clear idea of why the relations between all things that human creates and society is closely related.
