I FEEL CONNECTED: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LECTURERS’ CREDIBILITY

Author(s): Padma Pillai,Vikaneswari Shanmugam / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2016

Communication is essential. Having the ability to communicate thoughts, ideas, and feelings is crucial in all environments. The education industry regards communication as a core business to transfer knowledge. This paper focuses on how two different groups of students at Sunway University, Malaysia, perceived Lecturers’ Credibility (LC) in a class that enhances the Students’ Engagement (SE). A group of 50 to 60 students from the Faculty of Arts (FoA) and School of Business (SoB) completed measures of LC and SE using McCroskey and Teven’s (1999) Source Credibility Questionnaire (SCQ) and Students Engagement Survey from Indicators of Positive Development Conference, Child Trends. The variables for LC comprise competence, character and caring (CCC), and the variables for SE consist of cognitive, behaviour and emotion (CBE). The study aims to determine if there are any differences in SE between students from FoA and SoB with their perceived LC. Hopefully, the study sheds some light on the research question: “Are there any differences among Faculty of Arts students and School of Business students in the relationship between lecturers’ credibility and students’ engagement?”

Техніки репрезентації Іншого в контексті медіа-ритуалізації

Author(s): Olena Yufereva / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 17/2015

Media ritualization is an effective tool of ethical ‘Other’ representation and plays a relevant role in travel publications, but still it needs an adequate scientific coverage. The main objective of the research was to identify the techniques of ritualization for creating the image of ‘Other’ by the examples of Ukrainian travel magazines “Mir Tourizma” and “Мandry” issued in 2010-2014.The methodology of qualitative analysis was used to expose the implicit assumptions of the texts. The semiotic method was important for this research to deepen the understanding of contextual dimensions of the media ritualization. Results / findings. Such mechanisms of ritualization as transition and initiation, which are based on dynamic interchange of the social system poles (“work / rest”, “everyday / holiday”), as well as the principles of ‘Other’ conceptualization shaping the basic for the modern travel-magazine are described in the study. Relaxation and pleasure, as well as the excitement of adventure divert the reader from his/her everyday life and show the ‘Other’ as an unusual life. This temporary break-off accompanied with certain satisfaction, a sense of calmness, or to the contrary, a feeling of testing limits – is the basis for the ritual of transition. In the media practice the ritualization technologies are aimed at making the ‘Other’ more comfortable, absorbing its obscurity, setting up a potential tourist to trust the “transition”, so that the impression of the ‘Other’ becomes more accessible and more convenient.The tools and schemes of ritualization are characterized by weakening of rational principles and content saturation, but, at the same time, they demonstrate functional efficiency establishing close contextual and psychological connection between the travel experience of the journalist and the recipient of the information (the reader), thus removing the barriers which prevent from the contact with the ‘Other’. One of the key concepts that can be traced in Ukrainian travel magazines is the pleasure of “switched off” life. Tostrengthen the sensibility, the travel magazines actively use visual accompaniment in their publications. Sacred images, photographsare designed to foreground the capabilities for breaking away from the humdrum.The concepts of “miracle”, “fairy-tale”, “secret”, the techniques of “authenticity” of the ‘Other’ representation and the mythologization of the locus are also analysed in the study.

Fabrikarbeiter, Gewerkschaften und Funktionäre im „entwickelten“ Sozialismus. Die Aushandlung von Arbeiterinteressen am Beispiel des bulgarischen Stahlwerks „Kremikovci“

Author(s): Biliana Raeva / Language(s): German Issue: 72/2013

This study focuses on the place and role of the socialist trade unions in labour life of employees in the largest metallurgical enterprise in Bulgaria. The strategies and practices of workers’ “Kremikovci” in relation to the protection of their rights and interests, legally and through the use of social capital are analysed. Material collected shows that the brigades are at the center of conflict resolution during the manufacturing process as well as in the GDR. Brigade members initiated strikes, generally related with their dissatisfaction with loss of pay. Another strategy was to seek assistance from their fellow villagers to resolve conflicts against high-ranking members of the Communist Party and dissatisfaction with workplace conditions. Actually helping people who came from the same village was a way to deal with the transition from traditional to civil society in Bulgaria at the junction of the 19th and 20th centuries.

„Neues Werk, neue Menschen“: Die Rekrutierung von Arbeitskräften für das albanische Stahlwerk „Stahl der Partei“

Author(s): Visar Nonaj / Language(s): German Issue: 72/2013

The Steelwork „Steel of the Party“ would be the most prestigious project of the industrialization of the socialist Albania and it meant a break in the communist industrialization policy. The process of the recruitment of the work force, which should deploy his construction, is in the focus of this article. The historical research has not picked the steelwork up as a central theme and there are not published studies, which are concerned with the Albanian worker in the State Socialism. The steelwork had not only to make the economic autarchy possible, but also to become a smithy of the “New Socialist Man“. It will be researched, which measures took the regime for providing enough qualified work forces for the construction and the putting into service of the steel plant and it will be responded the question, if the implementing of the measures was in accordance with the intentions of the communist leadership. Primarily, I will discuss about similar projects in other countries of the Eastern Block, so that I can analyze to what extent the economic planners in Albania have been influenced from these experiences. Subsequently, I will describe the concrete planes, which were developed for recruiting enough manpower for the steel plant. The local power authorities stood under special pressure on the part of the leadership of the party and of the government. They had to allocate the necessary work forces within the period prescribed and to care for their qualification at the same time. This proved to be impracticable in that way, despite the much rigid measures of the socialist regime by comparison with the other states of the Eastern Block. The local responsibles had to map out strategies, so that they could keep the ideological demands and manage the routine problems. This, in turn, had unexpected effects, as the fluctuation of the work forces or the illegal migration with all their side-effects. The Chinese support also could not equalize the structural weaknesses of the Albanian economy. Even in a small country as Albania the Stalinist regime could not determine every aspect of the working life. In Elbasan it had to come to terms with the management as well as with the potential work forces.

GÜNÜMÜZDE GENÇLİĞİN TURANCILIĞI

Author(s): Melih Aydın ŞİMŞEK / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2009

Turancılık, Türkçülük fikri 19. yüzyıl bitiminden itibaren ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu politikada amaç zayıflamış güçsüz düşmüş hasta adam Osmanlı devletinin kurtuluş amacı idi. Tabi ki bunun amacı da Türklere yeni bir yurdun sağlanma düşüncelerinden çıkmıştır. O dönemdeki üç taraftar politikadan Osmanlıcılık, İslamcılık ve Türkçülük. Osmanlıcılık 1. Meşrütiyet İttihat ve Terakki partisinin ilk düşüncesiydi. Amaçları Osmanlı yurdunu tüm azınlıkları da içine alan bir üst kimlikti. Balkan savaşlarından sonra bu politika fikri dağılmıştır. İslamcılık, Abdulhamit ve çevresindekilerin Araplarla birlikte kurulan bir devlet. Türk kültür, ahlak, manevi değerler yerine Arapların kültür, ahlak, manevi birikimlerinin Türkler üzerinde yönetimi. Memlüklerden itibaren Araplar Türk hakimiyetindeyken bu politika işleri altüst etmekti sanırım. Arapların İngilizlerle birleşek, Fahrettin paşanın mükkemel savunma ile kaybetmesi ile birlikte bu politikada yok olmuş oldu. Artık tek politika Türkçülük kalmıştı.

SAME BUT DIFFERENT: PERCEPTIONS OF INTERPERSONAL ARGUING IN TWO ARABIC POPULATIONS (UAE & LEBANON)

Author(s): Chrysi Rapanta,Dany Badran / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

In a region characterized by internal socio-political differences and instabilities, such as the Middle East, the need to study and understand interpersonal arguing is becoming more and more critical. Our focus is on the perception of two socially different populations, the Emirati and the Lebanese, regarding their everyday argumentative interactions. Our sample consisted of 50 Lebanese and 34 Emirati young adults, all of them University students in different majors. The standardised interview used aimed at identifying how people define and perceive the process and outcomes of arguing with one another in different contexts. The Lebanese sample displayed a major understanding of efficient argumentative processes, while the Emiratis seemed more susceptible to the power of the speaker as a prerequisite to success in argumentation. Moreover, the Lebanese mainly defined argument as a process of learning from each other, whereas the Emirati mostly defined it as a fight or strong disagreement leading to an outcome.

Auschwitz jest metaforą wszystkiego. Przypadek „Oświęcimków” Wojciecha Albińskiego

Author(s): Joanna Nazimek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The object of analysis in this article is the short prose collection entitled “Oświęcimki” (2014). Wojciech Albiński’s pieces reveal how strongly war and Holocaust clichés are rooted in the dictionary, gestures and collective bodily memory of contemporary generations. These texts can be also read as the critiques of the pop‑cultural infantilisation of the Shoah and the signs of tiredness due to the excess of traumatising testimonies on the events of World War II. As the author endeavours to demonstrate, Albiński’s texts reveal the empathetic unease and the real needs of approaching the past, understanding it, and searching for sense in it. “Oświęcimki” are analysed in the context of the issues connected with the functioning of the Holocaust in the permanently changing collective memory.

Nieznany rękopis z Bavorovianum. Perspektywy badań zdigitalizowanych zbiorów z Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Biblioteki Ukrainy im. Wasyla Stefanyka

Author(s): Dominika Fesser / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The article is devoted to the fate of the collections which once belonged to the Lviv-based Library of the Wiktor Baworowski Foundation. It presents the activities of Wiktor Baworowski, the posthumous history of the collections that he gathered, and the question of the collections of the Bavorovianum, which remained in Lviv and which due to the post-war change of borders were incorporated into The Lviv National Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of Ukraine. The article is focused above all on the collaboration of the libraries of Wrocław and Lviv, which involved the project of the digitalisation of Polish collections which remained in Lviv. A 19th-century copiarium which heretofore was not processed, containing inter alia the poems of Anna z Mycielskich Radziwiłłowa, Franciszka Urszula Radziwiłłowa and an anonymous diarium describing the path to Dresden served as an example of a work derived from the Baworowski Library which was digitised and made accessible in the internet database. The description of its content facilitated the underscoring of the significance of the processes of digitalisation which enable researchers to study valuable manuscripts access to which was difficult earlier.

Model wykorzystania dziedzictwa kulinarnego w turystyce. Przykład Górnego Śląska

Author(s): Arkadiusz Ochmański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The term cultural heritage refers to the body of the heritage of societies produced in the process of historical development, passed from one generation to another. Its scope includes both material and non-material elements. Cuisine constitutes an important component of the second group. It is an indicator of the richness and variety of culinary heritage. Therefore it is no wonder that the state and self‑government authorities along with regional tourism organisations create initiatives whose purpose is to create an inventory of the local culinary resources and their use to promote local production in the food market, also as a value which generates the movement of tourists. Therefore it is worthwhile to observe the extent to which tourism based on the resources of culinary heritage develops. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate the model of using culinary heritage in tourism, prepared on the basis of research in subject literature and the analysis of the use of selected traditional products in Upper Silesia within the framework of the tourism-related offer of the region.
