Yesu’ah in the Old Testament: A Break to the Jinx of Pandemic in Nigeria

The paper examined yesu’ah (Yeshua) in the Old Testament and the notion of a break to the curse of pandemic in Nigeria. The Hebrew word yesu’ah means; victory, relief, solution, salvation or freedom from physical challenges such as drought, famine, sickness, bondage, illness, epidemics or pandemics etc. The concept of the latest pandemic (Covid-19) has created timidity in the minds of people in Nigeria since December 2019 up to date. The major problem is that no one has ever known the actual cause and the actual medicine required to curb the spread of the deadly virus which plagues society. However, just like how the Israelites overcame their challenges, this paper which adopted a critique method reveals that Nigerian tribal societies (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa) possess their traditional method of obtaining suitable solutions to their challenges which are very much synonymous with those of the Hebrews in the Old Testament period. But in an attempt to secure relief for their physical challenges, the people jettisoned and supplemented their traditional ways of solving problems for scientific ‘proof’. It is noteworthy that the influence of civilization has become significant on the Yoruba culture. In the light of the above, the paper concludes that to obtain proper relief from the syndrome of pandemics, there must be proper discipline and morality, transparency, diligence, honesty and a total positive revolution in the way that people live. Besides this aspect, the paper elucidates that the people should re-examine their traditional methods of seeking God’s face for deliverance.

Panduan Asas Kaedah Kenal Pasti Status Hadis: Kajian Diskriptif Penggunaan Ensiklopedia Hadis 9 Imam

The development of Islamic applications has greatly helped in the learning process, especially in the study of hadith. The process of identifying the status of hadith becomes easier, but it requires proper discipline. However, beginner users still struggle to use the applications, as there is no guidance on how to use them. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the basic methods for identifying the status of hadith by exploring the Encyclopedia of the 9 Imams application. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to collecting hadith data provided in the application. As a result, this article will introduce five basic guidelines for identifying the status of hadith using technological tools. Firstly, identify the sources of hadith references. Secondly, identify the search for hadith. Thirdly, determine the keywords of the hadith. Fourthly, analyze the hadith from the perspective of its content and chain of narration (sanad). Lastly, seek confirmation from experts regarding whether the discovered status of the hadith is accepted or not. All of these guidelines serve as a foundation for beginners in the study of hadith.

Effect of Guidance and Counseling on the Students’ Academic Performance in Bulgaria

Guidance and counselling are integral parts of modern academic programmes. Guidance and counselling form a crucial part of Bulgaria's education system and aid in shaping learners' behaviour and instilling proper discipline. Thus, the study sought to examine the effect of guidance and counselling on students' academic performance in Bulgaria. The target population was 628 learners from Zlatarski International School of Sofia. The study used a simple random sampling technique to collect the data. The collection of the data was done using questionnaires. The study results showed that guidance and counselling explain 25.8% of Bulgaria's academic performance variations. It was revealed that guidance and counselling is positively and significantly related to academic performance (β=0.489, p=0.006). The findings indicated that when the guidance and counselling increase by one unit, the academic performance will increase by 0.489 units while holding other factors that influence academic performance constantly. Counselling programs prevent educational, individual, social, psychological and emotional issues. Lack of guidance and counselling leads to bad morals and behaviour. This includes school dropouts, substance use, criminal offences and failure to keep jobs. The work of educational guidance and counselling is to allow a learner to change themselves together with their studies by improving their study perspective and getting rid of subject matter challenges. The study recommended guidance programmes should be embedded in the curriculum of schools. School heads should establish an evaluation register for a learner for counselling. Keywords: Guidance and counseling, academic performance, Bulgaria.

A Study on ESL Learners' Perceptions of Using One to One Online Support and Learning

The present study aims to find the ESL learners' perceptions of the challenges of using online learning amidst covid-19. It also intends to find out their perceptions about the efficiency of using online classes to improve their English language soft skills. For this, the researchers have designed a survey incorporating two questionnaires using Five-point Likert scales. The first questionnaire is related to the challenges of online learning, and the second is connected to English language soft skills. They were distributed to 30 postgraduate ESL students from the department of English, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The findings reveal mixed perceptions (positive and negative). The subjects have shown positive perceptions regarding the challenges in online classes and doing assignments depending on online sources. They have also revealed positive perceptions about the interactive and proper discipline of the classroom in offline mode. In contrast, they have shown negative perceptions regarding comparing offline and online study modes and about the methodological challenges of learning in online classes and doing online assignments. In terms of improving their soft English skills, the subjects have shown positive perceptions regarding the efficiency of online classes in enhancing their reading, speaking and listening skills and negative perceptions regarding writing skills.

COURTS MARTIAL AND THE CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE OF THE ROMANIAN ARMY IN WORLD WAR ONE

The century that passed over the memories of the Great War, as it was called in the era, should allow all of us, no matter what side we had chosen at that time, to think on allaspects of the day-by-day life in the frontline. And to admit as well, that not all the soldiers and officers who had taken part in, were heroes. They were normal people, with hearts and feelings, trapped in an abnormal environment, fighting for their side of “King and Country” against all destructive means of the industrial war. So, it was of great importance to maintain a proper discipline among those troops which were sent day after day in slaughter attacks. And for this reason, was used the military justice and the Code of military justice, named differently by country, but having the same role: to support the war effort. One of the supportive elements was the preemptive effect, the deterrence of any potential act of breaking the discipline. Equally counted the way this contribution came into effect.Keywords: military justice; discipline; court martial; world war; war effort.

Sensations d’Italie de Paul Bourget: Au carrefour de l’archéologie et de la littérature

The late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed a gradual specialization and institutionalization of several disciplines, especially in the field of Social Sciences. Archaeology, among others, only came to form a proper discipline with its specialized branches in this period after a significant phase of professionalization, both methodologically and institutionally. One of the most intriguing aspects of Archaeology of this period is the rise of the subdiscipline of Etruscology, interested in Etruscan material culture. The French novelist and essayist Paul Bourget, at the zenith of his literary career, wrote and published in 1891 a travel essay entitled Sensations d’Italie. This article wants to focus on the Tuscan chapters of the book, where Bourget is confronted with the archaeological discourse on the mysterious Etruscans, which, at the time, was slowly gaining authority and legitimacy. The present work explores the discursive interplay between literary and archaeological discourse in order to highlight how Bourget uses the romantic motif of “travel sensations” as a powerful epistemological tool, suitable for revealing truths that would otherwise remain inaccessible.

A Study of the Significance of Translation Studies in the Educational Institutions of Pakistan

The aim of this research is to highlight the importance of Translation Studies as a proper discipline in educational institutions of Pakistan. The analysis has been done by conducting a questionnaire survey, gathering responses from the students of acknowledged educational institutions, both public and private. The findings suggest rather mixed views of the students about Translation and Translation Studies in general. While most of the participants have a clear idea that translation is something beyond mere paragraph translation and reading translated literature, they view translation as not necessarily a part of Humanities students’ curriculum. Most of the participants have never found an opportunity to take a translation related course; whereas, they are interested in taking one. However, there were only one to two students who could name an institution that offers a translation studies degree. The majority of the students are also aware of the translational processes around them while using social media or reading print media and are able to identify them. On the whole, this research tries to identify the current situation of translation studies in Pakistan, and at the end some recommendations have been given to improve the situation of Translation Studies in Pakistan because Translation Studies is the ultimate requirement for the progress and development in the field of academics. The world has understood this; Pakistan needs to do the same.

Neuroscience-Based Mindfulness Social Work Practice in Schools

Abstract Chronic poverty and stressful life circumstances result in poor school performance and behaviors. Research demonstrates that these behaviors are not the result of student inadequacies and lack of proper discipline, but are rather of neurological adaptations to chronic poverty and toxic stress. These outcomes are driven by the body’s attempt to protect itself even as the behaviors appear to be choices the student is making in a rational world. Neurobiologically, students adapt to these challenges by becoming both hypersensitive and self-protective. As a result, students are mistrustful and on alert beyond what is usual as a way of protecting themselves, consciously or unconsciously. Mindfulness programs provide important tools for shifting these challenges in the classroom by supporting feelings of safety and opportunities for growth and change in student learning and behaviors. Demonstrating the actual practice of mindfulness is not our intent given that there are many ways of using and learning mindfulness in the classroom. Rather, the focus is on the neurological outcomes of stressful lives, the neurological impact of mindfulness training, and providing resources for addressing student negative experiences and behaviors in schools.

General Theoretical Characteristics of the Institution of Disciplinary Liability in Labor Law

It has been specified that disciplinary liability should be understood as the employee’s obligation to stand surety to the employer, who is endowed with the disciplinary authority, for his violation of labor discipline in the form of non-performance or improper performance of his labor duties due to the employee and as the result, bear negative consequences provided by labor law.
 It has been substantiated that the purpose of disciplinary liability has two aspects: the first is to ensure proper discipline in order to ensure the further effective functioning of the enterprise (organization, institution, etc.), and therefore its presence is an important preventive measure of disciplinary offenses’ commission. The second aspect is to apply negative measures to the offender, which, in turn, allows to restore the violated labor (including official) rights, to avoid the negative consequences of the offense and to educate the employee in the spirit of legality and discipline.
 The main tasks of disciplinary liability include: to ensure the compliance with labor discipline by each employee in performing their duties; to create comfortable working conditions for each employee (state official); to create a favorable, friendly atmosphere in the team; to punish the employee who committed a disciplinary offense; to prevent situations, when an employee may commit a disciplinary offense.
 It has been argued that the functions of disciplinary liability are: educational, punitive, protective, stimulating, renewing, informative, preventive and staffing.
 It has been generalized that the essence and content of disciplinary liability as an institution of labor law are as follows: first of all, despite the fact that disciplinary liability, is although a kind of legal liability, it has its own characteristics inherent in labor law; secondly, the employer is not obliged to apply penalties to the violator of labor discipline, such application is his right; thirdly, the employee, in turn, is responsible to the employer and not to the state for non-compliance with labor discipline, i.e. for culpable improper performance of obligations imposed by the employment contract.

URDU-A RESEARCH ANALYSIS IF MAKING ROWS (SAF) FOR THE CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER WITH REFERENCE TO COVID-19

Making and properly straightening of rows (Saf) is integral part of congregational prayers. The rows can either be physically jointed or can be implied in case people have to stand in a distance for example people offering prayer inside and outside the prayer hall.

Unnecessary gap is considered to be Tahrim Takrihi. Now a days it has emerged as a big issue in wake of the prevailing Pandemic; COVID-19. Scholars  are if the opinion that it us not only permitted to observe medical instruction while making rows for prayer but it is the desired and suggested option under the circumstances. This is because the current Pandemic can speedily spread in case social distancing is not practiced. The current article will focus on this issue in detail.

Appunti per lo studio dell’impatto delle attività di navigazione sulla diffusione degli elementi culturali nel Mediterraneo Occidentale dell’età del Bronzo

The maritime dimension of the different cultures which archaeological research has defined over the years on the shores of the Mediterranean is often considered one of the most interesting elements for understanding how people moved around the Mediterranean basin during ancient times. Particularly for prehistory the need for a better investigation of the naval and nautical dimension of ancient peoples appears nowadays to be extremely urgent due to a lack of information about the Western Mediterranean that determined the birth of a diffusionist theory in accordance with the now surpassed ex oriente lux-theory. The recent development of naval archaeology as a proper discipline, and not just as a branch of maritime archaeology or commercial history, allows us to adopt a new paradigm. The possibility to examine a good number of wrecks as well as the naval iconography of the Mediterranean in the light of the knowledge we have about ancient naval technology is the base of our capability to propose a new interpretation of both the origins and the development of the ancient maritime networks that linked all peoples living around the Mediterranean coasts during the Bronze Age. On the one hand, the study of ancient ships and naval structures permits us to recognise different local traditions that originated in different places as well as to follow their development over the centuries. Further, by tracing their key elements we are able to recognise how and when some of these different traditions started to overlap or disappeared. On the other hand, the analysis of the nautical dimension of the different “cultures” of the Mediterranean, including their maritime commercial activities, nautical technology and wider relationship with the sea, permits us to recognise how, when and why we can start speaking about Levantine and Aegean maritime supremacy in the West. Far from proposing a complete interpretation of these phenomena, this paper will point to the role naval archaeology can play in the study of cultural interactions in the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. The main aim is to pose some new questions in order to surpass the utilitaristic misuse of the naval dimension of ancient Mediterranean peoples that lived around the Mediterranean shores. This is often at the base of many misinterpretations of the naval role of the great eastern realms as well as of the small local communities of the West.

Determination of Education and Training, Discipline, Leadership Style on Loyalty Through work Satisfaction of Pamong Praja Police Units Uniters in Bintan Regency

The human resources strongly influence the success of an organization in achieving its goals at the management level (elements of the leader/officials), at the staff/employee level; it is one of the determining factors in the success of an organization. Proper discipline will have an impact on high loyalty. It is highly desirable to conduct research for finding relation between human resources and achievement of an organization. Researchers used data processing using SEM with AMOS version 24 software; the sample of respondents numbered 138. The value of square multiple correlation training, discipline, leadership style, and job satisfaction showed 2.90%. Thus, it can be stated that changes in loyalty are determined by the contribution of training,discipline, leadership style, and job satisfaction; by 2.90%, the remaining 7.10% is the contribution of other variables that have not been included in this study. Changes in loyalty are determined by the contribution of training, discipline.

RATE OF COSTS ON INVESTMENT CAPITAL IN EMERGING MARKETS

To date, there is no adequate methodology for calculating the discount rate that would satisfy most financial analysts. The most common approach to determining the discount rate is to use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) algorithm. The calculation of capital costs (discount rates) in emerging market countries (EM) is characterized by a number of problems related to the information inefficiency of the capital market, instability of demand for products, inflation, macroeconomic and legal uncertainty and a lack of proper payment discipline. Even more complex are the corresponding calculations during the financial crisis, accompanied by hyperinflation, a fall or significant fluctuations in the rate of the national monetary unit, trade wars, and the collapse of the banking system.Especially problematic for emerging markets is the calculation of the cost of equity (investment) capital. In developed markets, the classical CAPM model is used for these purposes. Taking into account the lack of an effective capital market in EM-related countries, it is quite difficult to determine the standard parameters of the model (risk-free rate of return, market risk premium, beta factor). Significant problems also lie in the sources and shadow schemes for paying high premiums for the risks of investing capital in EM. The aim of the paper is to substantiate recommendations on the procedure for calculating the rate of costs for own (investment) capital, taking into account the specifics of corporate activities in countries related to EM.

Miscommunication in Pilot-controller Interaction

English is the preferred language for communication in the aviation industry. Pilots and air traffic controllers of different nationalities and proficiency levels interact with each other using a specialized form of English termed aviation English that comprises of aviation phraseology and “plain English”. Here, miscommunication could have disastrous consequences. This paper presents the findings of a study that explored instances of miscommunication in the interaction between pilots and controllers. Miscommunication is defined as a lack of understanding (or misunderstanding), non-understanding or misinterpretation of messages in communication. The corpus consists of 30 hours of actual pilot-controller audio communication collected from the Malaysian airspace. Data were collected from three different frequencies (Alpha, Bravo and Charlie) representing different phases of the flight. They were analysed qualitatively using conversation analysis techniques. The study found that miscommunication in pilot-controller communication is due mainly to two main factors, procedural deviation and problematic instruction or request. The paper concludes by suggesting that pilots and controllers should adhere to standard phraseology and avoid code-switching from aviation phraseology to plain English except when it is inadequate for the situation. It also suggests that proper radio discipline should be maintained. Keywords: aviation English; miscommunication; non-native speakers; pilot-controller communication; ESP

Association Rule Mining for Selecting Proper Students to Take Part in Proper Discipline Competition: A Case Study of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics

In recent years, the educational issues have attracted more and more researchers’ and teachers’ attention. On the other hand, the development of data mining technology, provides a new method to extract the useful information from the complex educational data. In order to increase the chance of students to be awarded in discipline competition, it is better to select the proper students to take part in the proper discipline competition. Therefore, in this study, we collect the information of 164 undergraduate students as a case study. All students majored in Software Engineering in Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics. The Apriori algorithm with group strategy is used to find the relationship between the students’ courses scores and competition awards. According to the results of association rule mining, we find that the students with higher scores of C# Development, Object-Oriented, Internet Web Design, Data Structure(C#), and Basic Programming will have a higher probability to be awarded in the competition.

Evolution of service quality management and paradigm shift from product to service orientation: a historical review of literature

The purpose of this study is to trace the paradigm shift from product-focused orientation to service-focused orientation. The second aim is to review the evolution of service quality conception in literature. For this purpose, the dominant literature of 20th and 21st century has been collected, summarised and reviewed comprehensively. Services management thinking began to emerge as a field of study after 1950s and up to 1980s, it was recognised as a proper discipline emerged from marketing thought. The paradigm of manufacturing focus exclusive of service management has been shifted to strategic service management. The orientation of businesses has been upgraded and shifted towards more participatory role of customers conceptualised as service orientation (customer centric view) rather than product and production orientation (firm centric view). The future studies should study the empirical evidence of service orientation of business and management in varied contexts.

Organization and Management of Female Sports Development in Albania

Throughout the transition period Albania faced great challenges to create its future and such transition was very long and difficult. It was a long process of amendments including a comprehensive structural, economic, legal, cultural, and social and sports related package. The designing of reforms and institutions was oriented towards political aims and the quickest reforming occurred in less expensive areas. Such orientation resulted as well in consequences to the development of sports in Albania and female teams in particular. The poor organization of several bodies responsible for the development of sports in our country has led to serious consequences on the progress of female sports. The sports clubs in cooperation with the respective federations must draft special inspection programme to identify talents, promote sports values and cooperation with the teachers of physical education and parents so as to raise awareness and encourage as many girls as possible to become part of sports teams and above all orient them towards the proper discipline. Orientation towards the proper discipline is fundamental and it may be done only by the sports specialists who must see the physical, motor, psychic, anthropometric etc development in order to further assess the discipline to which they may be better aligned with. This is an important task to be performed quickly in order to re-establish female sports in Albania, because currently it is not representation by national teams in international events, due to the fact that girls, at an early age, prefer to be involved in ballet or dance so as to follow the traces of the good-looking ballet dancers and make reality their dream of becoming just like them.
