Moriah.
No full textMoriah is a narrative short film written, shot and produced by Chan Yi Hern
(Bobby), Charlene Chan Shu Min, Wong Oi Shan, and Yew Si Yang, Marcus, as part
of the group members’ Final Year Project (FYP) at the Wee Kim Wee School of
Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University. Known
collectively as Fourbidden Productions, the team is supervised by Mr. Kym
Campbell.
Moriah is a discussion of universal problems of sacrifice and surrender to a
higher power. It unravels the secret behind the death of a young woman and compels
two Catholic priests to confront their personal struggles with God.
This final report documents the nine months that Fourbidden Productions took
to complete the film – from inspiration to concept, concept to print, and finally from
print to screen. More importantly, this report discusses the philosophy that informed
our decisions, how major obstacles were overcome, and the lessons we learnt through
the making of Moriah.Bachelor of Communication & Informatio

Endowing self-directed learning in learning environments: interrelated connection between students’ environments and self-directed preparedness
No full textThere has been a major focus on redesigning curricula and with this in mind, self-directed learning (SDL) also has also become a more imperative feature within the curriculum, and more emphasis is placed on the effective implementation of SDL within teaching and learning communities (classrooms). The aim of this theoretical article is to present a framework that is intended to create an awareness of the impact of the environment of students on SDL. This proposed framework has the potential to empower students when applying SDL in their learning and to act as guide or source for educators who want to development the SDL skills of students. The questions that provide the focus for this paper are: why do students struggle to deal with SDL and or to be prepared for employing SDL in their studies, and secondly: Which factors (domains) of a student's existence influences his/her preparedness to be an effective self-directed student and if educators ought to accommodate students differences for the effective development of SDL skills? The author will present a collection of her ideas about how SDL can be conceptualised in an educational environment to cultivate and empower students as self-directed students. In South Africa, we are looking for instructive methods that could support students. If SDL is effectively employed by educators, and students'backgrounds/environments are kept in mind, SDL can be seen as the opening of the doors of learning and should not to become a trap in an ever-revolving gate of disappointment and despair. The potentials of the acceptance of this proposed framework includes (a) effective self-directed learning in underprepared SDL student; (b) increase these students, as well as other students in the same learning classroom, self-regulatory and self-directed learning skills, where students can take accountability for their own learning; and (c) an increase in these students' academic, emotional and/or cultural preparedness which can improve the ability and or preparedness to be a self-directed practitioner for life
Renaissance Futurities
No full text"Open access to this title is possible thanks to the generous support of Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin.
Renaissance Futurities considers the intersections between artistic rebirth, the new science, and European imperialism in the global early modern world. Charlene Villaseñor Black and Mari-Tere Álvarez reconsider the work of Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), prolific artist and inventor, and other polymaths such as philosopher Giulio “Delminio” Camillo (1480–1544), physician and naturalist Francisco Hernández de Toledo (1514–1587), and writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616). This concern with futurity is inspired by the Renaissance itself, a period defined by visions of the future, as well as by recent theorizing of temporality in Renaissance, queer, and ethnic studies. This transdisciplinary collection is at the cutting edge of the humanities, the sciences, and the arts with contributions in history, art history, literature, media studies, mathematics, and medicine.
“A superb provocation, asking us to reimagine the Renaissance in both space and time, resituating it at the crossroads of Europe and its early modern empires; of art, technology, and science; and of alternative pasts and futures.” TARA NUMMEDAL, author of Anna Zieglerin and the Lion’s Blood: Alchemy and End Times in Reformation Germany
“This volume approaches the field through the unique lens of futurity, bringing together an eclectic transdisciplinary group of scholars who focus on ingenuity and futuristic thinking in various Renaissance contexts.” PAULA DeVOS, Professor of History, San Diego State University

The influence of job candidate’s trustworthiness and fit on behavioural uncertainty during candidate selection
No full textDissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2023A hiring manager in the manufacturing sector grapples with much uncertainty when interviewing external candidates during candidate selection. This uncertainty arises due to the behavioural assumptions of transaction costs; firstly, the hiring manager’s cognitive ability is limited by bounded rationality and secondly, the hiring manager is uncertain whether the candidate acted opportunistically to securing the job. To reduce this behavioural uncertainty, hiring managers often incur significant transaction costs to vet candidates. However, trust can also reduce behavioural uncertainty. The objective of this quantitative research was to empirically examine, using transaction cost theory, whether the hiring manager’s perception of the candidate’s trustworthiness in an interview reduces behavioural uncertainty.
Prior transaction cost research has examined the inverse relationship between trust and behavioural uncertainty. However, there is a paucity of research on whether the antecedent of trust, trustworthiness, also reduces behavioural uncertainty. Moreover, fit is frequently used as a heuristic for candidate assessment, but little was known about whether fit mediates the relationship between trustworthiness and behavioural uncertainty. To test these relationships empirically, survey-based research was done with 318 manufacturing sector hiring managers. Results revealed that two dimensions of trustworthiness (ability and integrity) have a significant influence in reducing behavioural uncertainty. In contrast, the influence of the third dimension of trustworthiness (benevolence) on behavioural uncertainty was insignificant. Furthermore, the result revealed that fit significantly mediates the relationship between all three dimensions of trustworthiness and behavioural uncertainty.
These results contribute theoretically to transaction cost research by highlighting which dimensions of trustworthiness can significantly reduce behavioural uncertainty in a hiring transaction and demonstrates how fit can explain the relationship between trustworthiness and behavioural uncertainty. This research also has managerial implications; managers who align their hiring decisions to the dimensions of trustworthiness and fit can save time and money and reduce the influence of bias during candidate selection.pagibs202
