Corporate Social Responsibility : The Influence of Employee Engagement on Corporate Social Responsibility
Get PDFIncluding more people being aware of corporate social responsibility, questions have arisen concerning whether there is a link between employee engagement and corporate social responsibility. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is being considered as a significant component of a company\u27s performance and activities, with the goal of increasing employee engagement. The goal of this study is to find out how employee engagement and corporate social responsibility are linked. The research was carried out in Erbil, Kurdistan, at vehicle dealerships. In total, 53 people took part in this study. According to the findings of this study, higher levels of corporate social responsibility can lead to higher levels of employee engagement, which supports the research hypothesis. The researchers recommended getting a larger sample size for similar studies in the future due to the study\u27s restriction of a limited sample siz
The design and construction of a liquid damper for full-scale use in high-rise buildings
Get PDFTo store surface water for various uses, the design of high dams and spillways has increased significantly. A review of the references indicates that in recent years, numerous studies have been conducted on the phenomenon of cavitation, ways to prevent its occurrence, and reducing the damages caused by this phenomenon on hydraulic and numerical models of free spillways. Numerical modeling of flow in pressurized tunnel spillways with aeration structures and studies related to the two-phase flow of water and air in these spillways are very few. Therefore, further understanding and recognition of the pressure fields and flow velocity near the aeration structure of pressurized tunnel spillways and the effect of the geometry of the aeration ramp and different aeration percentages on the flow require further studies. In this research, numerical simulation of the flow passing over the aeration ramp installed at the bottom of the pressurized duct has been studied. First, a numerical analysis of the hydraulic characteristics of the flow in the non-aerated state, such as the length of the rotation zone created downstream of the ramp, the intensity of turbulence, the pressure coefficients at the bottom of the duct, and the velocity and pressure profiles at different sections before and after the ramp, is carried out. Then, the effect of air entry in different percentages on various flow parameters, especially velocity profiles and pressure coefficients, is studied. The overall goal of this research is to correctly understand the hydraulic phenomena occurring in the two-phase flow of water and air near the tunnel overflow aerator
The shallow bond: the profit motive figuring into Virginia Woolf’s feminist message
Get PDFWoolf’s vocabulary of feminist emancipation was the vector of her migration towards the genre of the novel. For all the vindictiveness it bears against gender inequality, exploring feminism as potential (i.e., as future-oriented) was not untouched by the writer’s inward-turned contradictions despite her choice of the variety of the narrative to intercept the strain of reminiscence (therefore the sentimentalism) of her poetry. “After being ill and suffering every form and variety of nightmare” (Letters IV, 231), Virginia Woolf “by the light of reason, tr[ies] to put into prose” (ibid) her idea of female empowerment to “keep entirely off” (ibid) the danger of patriarchy. Proving the efficiency of her feminist message as an author was within Woolf’s battle against a stretched life of introversion with a view to explore the broader opportunity presented by prose. However, a conspicuous part of her mental instability was Woolf’s unclear relation to the profit motif behind the project of female authorship which acquired a significance that always threatened to frustrate her very feminist concept
James M. Decker’s forced thought of an end to ideology in George Orwell’s 1984
Get PDFJames M. Decker examines 1984 under a skeptical lens as a statement in favor of capitalist democracy: which according to him thrusts Orwell forthright in the mist of ideology. A more compelling question, however, would be: Why was the interpretation of Orwell’s 1984 mostly a trudge against one particular version of totalitarianism called Stalinism? Isn’t it a form of complicity to always ground totalitarianism in Stalinism (thus also masking the totalitarianism exerted elsewhere in the world)? It seems it is not the Inner Party employing ideology to keep the masses under control as much as James M. Decker who provides an entrance into 1984 within a paradigm which excludes any possibility of meaning outside his apocalyptic landscape of a humanity not less thoughtless than out of history
Factors affecting International Finance Corporation
Get PDFIn order to succeed in business, the key is to understand how different processes, practices, rules, regulations, and institutions affect the way the firm is directed, administered, or controlled. The study attempted to investigate factors influencing international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil. Accordingly, the researchers used six factors for instance; legal factor, environmental factor, political factor, social factor, technical factor, and economic factor to measure influencing international finance. The researchers employed quantitative research method to examine the current study. The questionnaire was distributed randomly among 130 administrative staffs of small and medium businesses. The participants of the present study were 124 participants from different small and medium businesses in Kurdistan region of Iraq. Many different elements, such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, and the existence of various cultures and languages, determine how profitable international finance can be for companies. This also means that, on the other hand, international finance could be a nightmare if any of these aspects are not handled properly. This also implies that corporations that find themselves involved in financing such deals have no choice but to engage, they must ensure that it is done efficiently. The study demonstrates multiple regression analysis to investigate six research hypotheses, as for first research hypothesis which stated that legal factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .606 with significant level of .000 this indicated that the first research hypothesis was supported, as for second research hypothesis which stated that environmental factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .669 with significant level of .000 this indicated that the second research hypothesis was supported, as for third research hypothesis which stated that political factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .601 with significant level of .002 this indicated that the third research hypothesis was supported, as for fourth research hypothesis which stated that social factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .642 with significant level of .000 this indicated that the fourth research hypothesis was supported, as for fifth research hypothesis which stated that technical factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .642 with significant level of .001 this indicated that the fifth research hypothesis was supported, and as for sixth research hypothesis which stated that technical factor influences international finance corporation at small and medium businesses in Erbil, it was found that the value of Beta was .637 with significant level of .000 this indicated that the sixth research hypothesis was supported
On the Nature of Meaning and Untranslatability
Get PDFThe nature of meaning has long been the focus of the study of the philosophy of language. In this paper, the relationship between language and the mind is talked in a detailed way by mentioning Saussure’s account of meaning and language that people see the world according to the structure of the language they have learnt. And the development of Saussure’s idea by Sapir and Whorf, linguistic determinism and its weaker version, linguistic relativity is stated especially by relating it with the notion of untranslatability. Then an instance of a loss or distortion of translation is quoted to defend untranslatability
Humanism in Norman Mailer\u27s War Novels
No full textThe justification for undertaking this study lies in presenting a compact picture of war themes in the novels of Norman Mailer. He feels that war can give men an opportunity to encounter an essential human condition in which an individual must call upon his deepest resources to survive. He is always conscious of his death. He feels that life is war. The Second World War presents a mirror to the human condition, which blinded anyone who looked into it. The method of searching the theme has been analytical. This paper is based on his novel, The Naked and the Dead, a traditional and symbolic novel, crystallizes the evil of War. It is the best war novel after the Second World War. Mailer\u27s other War novel, An American Dream, is a catalogue of the conflicts. The novel presents the vision of hope for individual salvation and spiritual growth. It shows that war dehumanizes man and brings disaster of every kind
Civil society and COVID-19 pandemic in Nagaland: Response in a Democratic Society
Get PDFCivil society plays a very constructive role in a society especially in times of a pandemic. The paper explores the role of civil societies in responding to COVID-19 pandemic in Nagaland. The whole state has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic since early August-October 2020. Preliminary findings exhibits that civil societies played a vital role in providing emergency services, funding, volunteering, mutual aid, in-kind donations, and even policy advocacy. This article highlights that despite the state government with its limited resources was able to keep the pandemic crisis under control due to the active support and participation of civil societies. As respective civil societies within their own areas came forward in providing essential food and services to the most vulnerable sections of society which got affected the most by the imposition of total and partial lockdowns. This article suggests that the role of civil societies should not be overlooked in the context of pandemic management

Building Resilience: An Intervention to Enrich Positive Outcome in Personality Traits amongst Students
Get PDFThe universal call for education in the 21st century gears towards cultivating personal traits of students who are resilient in navigating through life successfully. Thus, resilience building must be initiated in the learning institutions across the country for a better world. Resilience building enriches the personality traits and creates a wholesome individual who can in turn create a better world to be in. This study explored the impact of resilience building on academic performance and development of the personality traits in the young minds of Khasdrapchu MSS, Thimphu, based on five factor model of personality.
The sample students were selected using need assessment and screening tools. The vulnerable students were prioritized to be intervened with resilience building program. 37 students from classes VII to X were selected employing purposive sampling technique. The methodology incorporated was quantitative approach. The research design chosen was pretest and post-test.
In addition to a structured, self-administered questionnaire, the mid-term and annual examination results were included. Descriptive analysis was carried out to describe and summarize the raw data. Statistical techniques such as mean and standard deviation were used to infer correlation amongst the variables in the study.
The inferential statistics results indicated that there was a positive correlation between resilience building and personality traits. This was supported by an increase in mean and standard deviation in the posttest after the intervention was provided. The academic performance of the students heightened after the intervention. It can be concluded that building resilience in students have positive outcomes on their personality traits and as well on their academic performance. Thus, the learning institutions must consider resilience building programs as interventions to help young people navigate through life well
