Abstract
The interpretation of a semiotic object can call on interpretants which doesnt use
all time the same system of signs (quote from another language), or: not the same
semiotic modality. A text serves interpretants to understand an image, an image
to understand a text. In this work I will first define the concept of intersemiotic.
After, I will study the presence of painting in the Balzac novel. The theme of the
painting is fully integrated into the structure and theme of the novel. I propose to
make a analysis of the relationship between pictorial and thematic writing in
Balzacs novel.

Abstract
Homelessness is a complex social problem inimicable to the concern individuals.
This paper aims at the determination of factors causing massive homeless
individuals in the four select regions in Southern Philippines. The sample
comprised of randomly chosen 100 homeless respondents in each select city in
considered regions. An observation guide was outlined to describe the homeless
and to determine possible driving factors of their displacement while a
questionnaire-interview consisting the perceived causes of homelessness was
employed to gather the necessary data. The study shows that the causes associated
to homelessness are individual and structural factors. Poverty, abstinence of
education, leaders poor management, unemployment, absence of public
assistance, relationship with friends, domestic violence, force resettlement, and
existence of drugs and crimes were among the persistent cruxes of homeless in the
region. The identification of causal factors of homelessness is crucially substantial
in advocating intervention solutions to end the problem so that possible pervasive
risks and effects could be altered and prevented.

ABSTRACT
Bangladesh is a democratic country and got independence from Pakistan in 1971
after nine months of war.The judiciary has been separated from other organs of
the government in November 1 of 2007. Right to life is a non-derrogable human
right which is ensured by the constitution of Bangladesh and also by various
international instruments. In no circumstances no one shall be deprived from
his/her right to life. Since 2004, the government of Bangladesh has arbitrarily
deprived of person's right to life after the introduction of Rapid Action Battalion
(RAB). RAB is an elite force which has been added to the existing law
enforcement agencies. It is very common scenario in Bangladesh that the killing
of accused persons by law enforcement agencies including RAB without any
judicial process which is the violation of the fundamental right. Article 26 to 47A
of the Constitution of Bangladesh guaranteed the fundamental rights of the
citizens of Bangladesh. Article 32 of the constitution provides that person shall
not be deprived his/her right to life and personal liberty. But in practice, the
government of Bangladesh bluntly not only fails to ensure the constitutional
fundamental right to its citizens but also the provisions of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Article 3 of the UDHR ensured the right
to life, liberty and security of every person. This inalienable right also ensured in
various international instrument under which Bangladesh has accountability.
Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
ensured this inherent right to life. Bangladesh, as a member of the ICCPR, cannot
deny its international obligation under this provision. This paper will be discussed

violation.

Abstract
The main focus point of this research paper is to uphold the poor and prejudiced
picture of the women of the third world, which is contributed by Western
feminism. To find out how the perception "the other" was emerged, I will
examine different discourses and literatures on gender issue from the British
colonial period to modern age. To study present condition, I will take Afghanistan
in consideration. With a view to find out the reason of difference between the
West and the rest, I will present gender, class and ethnicity together. The struggle
of women in different societies is not same. So, without considering ethnicity and
class, it is not possible focus on any particle struggle of women. Therefore,
struggles of women should not be considered the struggle of women only; rather
social and cultural traits should be considered studying their struggle .I will try to
show how class and ethnicity are related to gender norms, or how one is affected
by another.

Settlement Support for Foreigners in Japan

Abstract
A massive flood of refugees mainly from Syria in 2015 has been creating great
waves of political and social impact on European society. Though serious
argument has risen, some European states, Germany in particular, has made best
efforts to welcome refugees who fled from violence-stricken country for
humanitarian reasons.
When we take a look at Japan, the third largest economy in the world after the
United States and China, situation shows quite a difference. Logically and
morally, it is expected to be able to make much contributions to maintaining
international peace and stability as one of the richest developed nations. The
country seems to be keen on making that effort from semi-military international
contributions after passing the bill on Security Laws in September 2015, but

surely the refugee issue is one of the major international concerns that Japan
should face for international peace and security. However, the nation has been
well known for its tight immigration policy and a close-door policy for both
refugees and immigrants. Statistically speaking, the actual number of Japans
reception of Syrian refugees in 2015 was three accepted as official refugees out of
63 applicants, while 47 are granted temporary staying for humanitarian reasons
(Colum, Mainichi Newspaper, October 6, 2015).
Having said so, inviting and welcoming foreigners as workers is a rapid rising
issue for this fast aging state. Though Tokyo still maintains very strict rule on
accepting foreigners such as refugees and immigrants (Kondo, et.al, 2009), NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOs) such Takatori Community Centre (TCC) and
Nanmin-Kyokai (RefugeeAssociation), as have worked through to help their
settlement in Japan with various methods (Nanami, 2013). The question is how
they have been trying to make it possible in the foreigner unfriendly country?
What kind of political and social tools the NGOs are using to impact Tokyo and
the receiving society from outside the official decision-making process in Japan?
This paper has tried to answer the above questions based on the authors
intensive fieldwork in Japan from 2014 to 2015 to provide some inside view on
how Japan is managing foreigners settlement under strict control. In addition,
this study also made efforts in clarifying political and social factors which impact
NGOs organisational behaviours.

Abstract
To assess whether perceived motivation-specific benefits predicts intention to
continue volunteering while being mediated by role identity and satisfaction of
volunteering, 154 youth volunteers from various NGOs in Malaysia were
recruited through a non-probability convenience-purposive sampling method.
This study had a non-experimental correlational design. Participants were asked
to report their perceived motivation-specific benefits, intention to continue
volunteering, satisfaction of volunteering, and role identity. Results showed a
significant positive correlation between perceived motivation-specific benefits and
intention to continue volunteering. These findings supported the hypothesis that
perceived motivation-specific benefits would positively correlated with intention
to continue volunteering. There was also significant partial mediation of role
identity and satisfaction of volunteering between perceived motivation-specific
benefits and intention to continue volunteering. These findings supported the
hypotheses that role identity and satisfaction of volunteering would mediate
mediate the relationship between perceived motivation-specific benefits and
intention to continue volunteering. Additionally, the relationship between
perceived motivation-specific benefits and intention to continue volunteering was
weaker while controlling for role identity than satisfaction of volunteering. As
such, the hypothesis is not supported as role identity is a stronger mediating
variable between the relationship of perceived motivation-specific benefits and

Abstract
Self-harm, an emerging important topic across the globe, is still an underresearched subject. This regression study sought to explore the relationship
between attachment, coping strategy, and self-harm behavior among young adults
by recruiting 60 participants with a history of self-harm within the period of one
year prior to this research via purposive sampling to answer Coping Strategies
Inventory, Experiences in Close Relationship, Relationship Structure Scale, and
Self-Harm Inventory online. Through forced entry multiple regression analysis,
attachment-related avoidance was the only and strongest significant predictor of
self-harm behavior among those with attachment-related anxiety, engagement
coping strategy, and disengagement coping strategy. Results suggest attachment
might play an important role in determining likelihood of self-harm. Further
implications were discussed.

Abstract
This paper features the implementation of an extensive insider action research,
exhaustively following the framework of Coghlan and Brannick (2010, 2014). It
consists of two action research projects - the thesis action research and the core
action research - which were done in a parallel manner, both consisting of the
iterative cycles of constructing, planning, taking, and evaluating action. The
thesis action research was aimed at developing a theory on building
organizational identity from the viewpoint of an organizational founder and
validating some theories related to the topic. On the other hand, the core action
research was focused on promoting integrality as the specific identity of the
Institute for Integrality, Inc. Both aims were achieved by the research project.
The relevance of the research topic Building Organizational Identity: An Insider
Action Research on the Institute for Integrality, Inc. is established in the
presentation of its academic, organizational, social, and personal contexts in the
succeeding section. In the comprehensive Review of Related Literature, the role
of an authentic organizational identity, the importance of the pursuit of
integrality as an organizational identity, and the usefulness of action research in
change management are discussed.
Quality and rigor were observed in the implementation of the action research
cycles. Preunderstanding in the first-, second-, and third-person were all done.
In the fieldwork, there were three main cycles undertaken understanding
7

ISSN 2454-5899
organizational identity, fine-tuning the practice of this identity, and designing the
integration of this identity in organizational culture. Thereafter, meta-learning in
the form of content, process, and premise reflections were done, from which
significant learnings were derived.
Through the critical reflection of the project in the light of the experience and
theory, I was able to develop A-Founders Integrative Theory of Organizational
Identity Building, an important contribution to knowledge that is a fruit of a
rigorous implementation of this insider action research. Other contributions to
knowledge, such as the More Directed ORJI Model, the Model of Integration, the
3P Leadership, etc., were also discussed. The extrapolation of the research
project to a wider context led to its confirmation as good research - for me, for us,
and for them.

Abstract
A heroine character is often portrayed as the antagonist who is a very important
character in films. In addition, the heroine in Malay films are aligned with the
hero because they are always paired up together (Azhar Salleh, 2010). However,
some films like Fenomena (1990) and Perempuan Melayu Terakhir (1999) do make
the heroine as the main character and show her journeys and stories which also
make the appearance of the hero to be fade. This research studies the portrayal of
the heroine in Tsu Feh Sofiah (1986) who is a reverted woman by referring Rahim
Razali as the director. This study aims to analyze the character Tsu feh Sofiah, a
Chinese woman who understands and loves Islam more than the originally born
Muslims. This research uses the qualitative method such as content analysis in
order to analyze the character, Tsu Feh as the heroine who plays a vital role in
fighting for womans rights. The coding and evaluation form for the meaning of
the film is used to gather data for this research. The data collected is analyzed
uses narrative analysis. The findings showed that the character Tsu Feh Sofiah is
respected from the aspect of woman emancipation especially reverted woman who
is brave enough to fight for her rights and her freedom of faith in the Malay
society. This study also finds the existence of feminisme based on Islam elements
in the film called Tsu Feh Sofiah (1986).

Abstract
Given that the e-commerce market for tourism products is growing day after day,
more diverse buying channels become available for consumers give consumers
greater room to bargain. Many online platforms have followed the trend to
launch group-buying as a new merchandising and business operations model in
an attempt to encourage consumers to join a group and increase sales
opportunities in todays economic recession. Selling tourism products on groupbuying websites is an alternative to get out of the rut of traditional techniques of
sales promotion, use group-buying prices to attract consumers, and show
consumers the best prices before consumers decide whether to purchase a travel
itinerary, accommodation voucher, food voucher, or air ticket or not. However,
very few previous web shopping studies looked into purchasing tourism products
through group-buying websites. In light of this, this study wishes to find out what
factors affect consumers intention to purchase tourism products through groupbuying websites. As revealed by research results, consumers perception of the
prices of group-buying website products and level of involvement are the two
main factors that affect consumers intention to purchase products or services
through group-buying websites. Meanwhile, consumers group-buying intention
has a positive influence on consumers transactional loyalty and relational loyalty.

Abstract
In todays world, literary Criticism (LC) as knowledge that can reflect humans
life with all its delicacies and illuminating the various aspects of culture and the
interaction between different nations have attracted many researchers. LC
invokes deeper attitudesin dealing with scholarly discussion and analysis of the
sociological issues. In the process of surveying a literary work, the reviewer
considers all its sides in order to find an unknown and transfer it to the reader in
a tangible manner. Marinating an innovative and comprehensive outlook at the
artistic and scientific works glorifies their importance. In this status quo, the
reviewers talent and creativity open a new horizon for him in order to evaluate
the works in a tremendous and decent way. Nowadays, in which case science and
technology has grown exponentially, more interaction and communication on the
part of people can best be done via knowing their culture deeply. And the
interface between such knowledge can best be appreciated through LC.

Abstract
Social Capital, mainly the cooperatives, play an identical role in strengthening
adaptive capacity (resilience) of small scale fishers in Southern Sri Lanka at the
face of climate changes specially, hurricanes. A study was initiated in the year
2013 in search of adaptive capacities of small scale fishers in four countries; Sri
Lanka, Vietnam, Fiji, Ghana. The Sri Lankan study was employed mainly in two
villages with clear differences on the availability of social capital, with the help of
pretested questionnaires and focus group discussions. The study revealed the
centrality of relationships with the cooperatives and other social groups at the
face of climate changes such as unexpected Climate Changes. This was further
verified from the facts which show the comparisons in between the two villages by
means of statistical analysis of a relational wellbeing survey carried out as a part
of the project. Finally it proved that small scale fishers are centralizing among
socially build up relationships at the face shocks mainly climate changes such as
unexpected hurricanes in strengthening adaptive capacities as well as improving
wellbeing. The study offers insights into the need of enhancing the adaptive
capacities of the fishers by strengthening the availability of social capital at the
face of climate changes.

Abstract
This research takes into account how ignorance about ones own rights
contributes to the prevalence of gender based violence in Pakistan. It delves upon
the various norms and mores that have become a part of various sub-cultures in
our country over the span of many centuries and today such traditions might
have a different faces but they translate into a single phenomenon, i.e. gender
based violence.
For the purpose of this research both archival and observational methods were
15

ISSN 2454-5899
employed. While archival research (incorporated in literature review) provides an

overview of the situation on ground, the observational method encompassing a
survey with 20 respondents aims to grasp the level of cognizance among women
about their own rights.The research explicitly manifests an acute lack of
understanding that women have about their rights and ways and means to protect
themselves against various forms of gender based violence. This oblivion is
prevalent across various strata of the society. It also shows the aloofness of the
society towards the plight of women and how that has served to reinforce the
spiral of violence.The findings call for immediate action and highlight the need to
sensitize the masses (both men and women) with regard to gender based violence
if a sustainable change is to come. Moreover, adequate legal structure is required
to address this problem; alongside law enforcement agencies also need to be made
stronger and more responsible in tackling this problem.

Migration is one of the major issues of this century. More than 190 million people
stay and work outside their birth country. This rapidly increasing phenomenon is
examined in a large number of studies on migration and transnational. However,
most of these studies focus on experiences and practicalities of migrants at the
place of origin and destination. In this study, I provide insight into the other issue

of the migration study by investigating the social mobility of specific Thai migrant
labourer in the name of Thai-Aus, who was student in Australia. I aim to
contribute to the understanding of the social mobility type of them. Data were
collected via in-depth interviews as well as by participatory and non-participatory
observations with 18 key informants as Thai labourers-Thai-Aus who are
working in Sydney, Australia. Data analysis was contents analysis by the program
of ATLAS.ti. The results of the study indicated that the mobility format of labour
brokers is upward mobility. There are two types of mobility include; Gradually
Mobility and Accidentally Mobility. The first type of mobility is the mobilization
of Thai students who were intends to be Australian permanent residents for a
good opportunity in benefit work after graduate the higher education in
Australia. They planned to study and work in high attention. Other type of
mobility, Accidentally mobility, this is the mobilization of Thai students who were
not intend to live in Australia but they had something to change their way of life
such as met the spouses, then they applied to be Australian permanent residents
for living with a new family and got a job. However, both type of mobility is not
easy path to climb. Both of them found many troubles in mobilizing way, the
major trouble are language and cultural chock. Also, they have to confront with

Abstract
The emergence of e-learning is one of the most powerful revolutions in education.
Utilization of e-learning tools is of paramount importance in teaching and
learning. This study examined the utilization of e-learning tools among Office
Technology and Management lecturers in north-western part of Nigeria
polytechnics. Two research questions were answered and two hypotheses were
tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study consists of 86
OTM lecturers in eight polytechnics in North Western Nigeria. A five point scale
Likert type was used to provide answer for each questionnaire item. While t-test
was used in testing the two hypotheses. The major findings were that there was
poor utilization of e-learning tools among lecturers in north western Nigeria
polytechnics, and that there was acute shortage of e-learning tools in polytechnics
in the region. It is recommended that the institutions management should
provide the necessary e-learning tools to the OTM departments and the lecturers
must embrace e-learning in earnest, so as to enlist in the global e-learning family.

Abstract
This paper explores the 17-year experience of Paul T.K. Lin as the founding head
of East Asian Studies at McGill University. With the release of his memoir, In
the Eye of the China Storm (2011), Paul Lin gave his life story as a child prodigy
of a Chinese Canadian Methodist pastor choosing to abandon of his Harvard
doctoral studies in 1949 and move to Communist China. In next 15 years, he
became Premier Zhou Enlais English press secretary but abruptly returned to
Canada with his family. His 2011 memoir boasted his contribution to SinoCanadian relations as a McGill Professor but barely scratches the surface on
his effort to re-establish East Asian Studies in this prime Canadian institution.
What caused McGill to have a sudden desire to offer courses on China and
Japan? Why would it hire such an outright communist sympathizer in midst of
Cold War? If Lin claimed to the leading figure in the development of Chinese
Canadian relations, what specific contribution did he make till his sudden
retirement in 1982? The author argues that Lins McGill recruitment in 1965
was accidental and his contribution to Sino-Canadian relations was somewhat
overrated.

Abstract
In a postmodern perspective, we will discuss some various versions of Mona Lisa.
These various versions refer first to the heterogeneous aspect of the practice of
interpicturality. The phenomena of citation, reference, dialogism, palimpsest are
also in the nature of heterogeneity related to interpicturalit. Recall that these
characteristics are found not only in the various versions of Mona Lisa but also in
many postmodern paintings. So we want to define briefly the postmodern
perspective. We do not want make certainly a deep theoretical definitions of
postmodernism. We just want to look the part of dialogism, of polyphony, of
referentiality, of hybridity, in short, of heterogeneous appearance in various
versions of Mona Lisa. We will provide some elements of our methodology in
interpicturality and intersemiotic approch, notions that are derived from
intertextuality. We will study thus formal and semantic transformations through
the paintings of Mona Lisa. We chose this example because Mona Lisa is a true
classic that is cited, taken more often. We'll study three painters Mona Lisa
versions.

Abstract
Urbanizing in Thailand is slower than many countries in Southeast Asia, but the
expansion of urban areas of some provinces are very fast such as Udonthani
Province. These urban areas need structural transformations of both physical
spaces and cultural spaces to serve the urbanizing world and to face with the
problems from climate change. The target study areas were the urban area of
Udonthani (city) Municipality and the peri-urban area of Nong Bua (sub-district)
Municipality. Qualitative data were collected via focus group discussions,
quantitative data were collected via questionnaire for households representatives
and the secondary data of satellite photos of land use, city design, statistic and
report of Udonthani Province. The study found that the urban populations of
Udonthani (city) Municipality have significant decreased since 2000s, meanwhile
the urban areas and their physical structures were expanded. They move out to
live in peri-urban or rural areas in hinterland. Because, urban land functions
were increasingly served the constructions of government offices, commercial
buildings, infrastructures, etc. while for dwelling, agricultural activities and water
catchment were decreased. Consequently, the social vulnerability in many
dimensions have occurred such as flood, traffic jams, environment of urban
dwellers changed, etc. The attitude of food vulnerability of the people in periurban areas are higher than the urban, even though the land for producing food
and water catchment more than the urban. It was indicated that attitude on food
security not related to only agricultural activities, but related to other factors.

Abstract
The main focus point of this research paper is to uphold the poor and prejudiced
picture of the women of the third world, which is contributed by Western
feminism. To find out how the perception "the other" was emerged, I will
examine different discourses and literatures on gender issue from the British
colonial period to modern age. To study present condition, I will take Afghanistan
in consideration. With a view to find out the reason of difference between the
West and the rest, I will present gender, class and ethnicity together. The struggle
of women in different societies is not same. So, without considering ethnicity and
class, it is not possible focus on any particle struggle of women. Therefore,
struggles of women should not be considered the struggle of women only; rather
social and cultural traits should be considered studying their struggle .I will try to
show how class and ethnicity are related to gender norms, or how one is affected
by another.

Abstract
The increasing pace of mans economic development has made him to forget his
role as a protector of environment. A huge increase in the carbon emissions due to
the human activities like deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, cement production
and other activities at the world level has not only increased global warming but
also has resulted in negative consequences on marine biodiversity. These carbon
emissions get dissolved into oceans, rivers, lakes etc. and decrease pH of the water
which in turn trigger Ocean Acidification. As it has been mentioned in UNEPS
Fact Sheet on Ocean Acidification, Ocean Acidification is the reduction in the
pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused mainly by uptake of
carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. It can also be caused by chemical
additions and subtractions from the ocean. Anthropogenic ocean acidification
refers to the component of pH reduction that is caused by human activity . It has
also been described as evil twin of Global Warming. Various Conventions like
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) etc. focus on the protection of marine environment
and includes measure to prevent, reduce and control pollution of marine
environment. Article 1(4) of UNCLOS , 1982 defines pollution of the marine
environment as the introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or
energy into the marine environment, including estuaries, which results or is likely
to result in such deleterious effects as harm to living resources and marine life,
hazards to human health, hindrance to marine activities, including fishing and
other legitimate uses of the sea, impairment of quality for use of sea water and

acidification, its adverse effects on marine biodiversity and human livelihood and
how does it cause climate change. It also deals with measures to prevent it,
challenges and the need for ocean acidification laws in India.

Abstract
Globally, there is a clamour to uphold, respect and promote the human dignity.
Since, to have dignity is to have value that makes life precious and priceless, or
without equivalent. In Nigeria, the debate on the capital punishment has become
increasingly prominent after the execution of Ken Saro-wiwa and the eight Ogoni
activists in 1995. Uniquely, the proponents and opponents of capital punishment,
softly based their arguments on belief in the worth of human life and the dignity
of persons as created in Gods image. Thus, human dignity and capital
punishment are seen as having a symbiotic relationship. In view of that, this work
uses the rehabiitationists theory in regard to punishment within the field of
homiletics, to argue that capital punishment as means of punishment contradict
the sanctity of human life, and therefore, endangers the dignity of persons. In
addition, this article aimed at stimulating the Christian pulpit ministry in Nigeria
to engage in the conversation to abolish capital punishment, and to promote
human dignity.

Abstract
The study aimed to determine if attachment styles could predict drug dependency
and other factor that may contribute to its development. There were 77
participants from the Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (DTRC),
Quezon City, Philippines. Specifically, participants includes 56 males and 21
females whose age ranges from 18 and above. The researchers utilized purposive
sampling technique in the selection of needed representatives.
Drug Abuse
Screening Test and Adult Attachment Scale were the instruments used.
Participants were briefly interviewed afterwards. Using hierarchical regression
analysis, it was found that attachment styles do not predict drug dependency but
three common reasons for drug dependency are peer pressure, family problems,
and/or lack of leisure activities.

Abstract
This study explored the impact of the excessive and superfluous usage of late
night cellular packages on the education of Pakistani youth. Specifically, the study
investigated: (i) How cellular companies develop their setup in Pakistan and
introduce new and varied packages to grab the attention of users; (ii) How
different types of packages affect the Pakistani youth and society and negatively
impact their time management. Reasons to explore, why telecom companies
introduce cheap call rates and packages, were also scrutinized. The Purpose of the
study was to understand the impact of cellular low cost, night packages on the
education of youth as well as explore the consequences of the blind and
extravagant use of cellular technology. The study has adopted descriptive
technique and is based on secondary data. The different books, researches and
articles related to the subject matter have been examined and an analysis has
been carried out. Findings show that the late night inexpensive call and SMS
packages negatively influence the education of the younger generation. The
advertisements supporting cell usage also encourage the young population to avail
cellular packages without paying any heed to their social responsibility.

Theism and Atheism: Justified Belief-Decisions For or Against The Concept of
God

Abstract
The debate between theism and atheism cannot establish the veracity of whether
or not God exists. For should God exist, the mere existence of God cannot
establish that God necessarily exists.
The ontological necessity that God
necessarily exists is an unfalsifiable proposition; as such, beliefs related to God
are belief-decisions decisions for and against the concept of God. What must be
acknowledged is that the veracity of this truth is unverifiable. Questions and
concerns related to conscious life necessitate such beliefs. As such, the meaning of
religious beliefs is not tied up with the veracity of its truth, but with the relevance
of the questions that necessitate such beliefs. While a good question makes
millions think, what is considered as a good answer can make millions debate over
its truth. If theists argue for the existence of God, then theists posit for the
existence of an existing being and cannot posit for the existence of a non-existing
being. However, if atheists argue for the non-existence of God, atheists cannot
posit for the non-existence of an existing being, nor posit for the non-existence of a
non-existing being. So what theists and atheists accept or reject is related to the
same being, namely the existence of a non-contingent being. In earnest, the debate
between theists and atheists is related to why they accept or reject the existence or
non-existence of a non-contingent being. However, an atheist is an atheist not
because of the presence of theists, nor is a theist a theist because of the presence of
atheists. Both theists and atheists address the same questions that necessitate
decisions for or against the concept of God.

Abstract
Amidst the global shift towards sustainability, critically assessing the Laguna de
Bays sustainability as a bio-region is imperative. Its role as a large natural
ecosystem offers an opportunity to observe the sustainable framework
phenomenon. The human-environment interaction is rich, and the ecological
degradation of the lake can be linked with nearby lakeshore towns. With a holistic
framework composed of the four fundamental elements of sustainability, that is,
30

ISSN 2454-5899
institution, society, ecology, and economy, the sustainability of the Laguna de Bay
can be assessed. In doing this, microcosmic representatives through the barangays
of Limbon-Limbon and Ithan have been taken. The data framework is composed
of both quantitative and qualitative data triangulated with secondary data to
produce a strong data output. Regression analysis, indexing, and plotting in the
Cartesian plane are the quantitative data analyses used whilst a
phenomenological approach has been applied to the qualitative data for
understanding the human experience. Findings have shown that the Laguna de
Bay has a very weak sustainability index (i.e., 0.0001) and a bias towards an
anthropocentric worldview. Additionally, qualitative analysis has shown that the
community has a deep regard for cultural capital whilst falling in the rest of the
components. Puliran holds deep possibilities for social change as it estimates the
phenomenon of sustainability, and quantitatively leads to how a weak sustainable
framework can be optimized and balanced for a strong sustainable framework.

Abstract
This paper studies the way in which I have contributed to broadening the field of
creative art practice, in particular within painting and what I uncover as an art
practitioner using material and paint as my tool. I have produced a series of
paintings that address and question diverse issues of conflict and traumatic
experiences of war.
The artistic research investigates the ethnic conflict and civil war on the island of
Sri Lanka, examining the significant changes and effects and their relationship to
its colonial history and perceived identity as a place of paradise.
The paintings I created - landscapes, portraits and figurative compositions as
well as images featuring religious objects are followed by typical images of
paradise. But I created these images as beautiful as well as full of horror. The
parallel narratives of dark life experiences over the paintings further establish a
notion of horror or loss. When comparing the images of beautiful flora and fauna,
religious objects and images of native people in traditional costumes published on
the web sites and the travel magazines representing Sri Lanka's authentic beauty,
my paintings are beautiful as well as discomforting and unsettling to the viewer.
The complex relationship between painting and conflict is conceived with specific
reference to collage painting and contemporary artistic examples that
contextualise the fantasy and myth in a tangled, war-torn society. The subversive
nature of collage is an artistic tool to undermine political and cultural hegemony
by challenging the traditional approach to painting in Sri Lanka. This way of
working not only questions violence but the politics of representation in Sri
Lankan art. In this case I use my mixed media paintings to challenge and
suffocate established ideologies around art, conflict and memories war.

Abstract
Nowadays, more and more people search information and purchase products on
the internet. The connected population is going to double in five years. In other
words, there are huge opportunities as five billion people go online by 2020.
Everyone has the entire Internet in his pocket. Once if a service failure occurs, the
service providers response or action has the potential either to restore customers
satisfaction or to reinforce the loyalty. The main purpose of this study is to
explore the effectiveness of different service recovery strategies in the context of
service failure in online retailers. A 2 (price level: low/high) x 2 (service recovery
speed: immediate/delay) between-subjects experimental design was conducted to
examine consumers responses in different service recovery scenarios. Besides, we
regard two personality levels: internal/external locus of control as the moderator
that might influence the relations between the independent and dependent
variables.
Data were collected from 232 respondents in a laboratory experiment. The
findings showed that the consumers revealed more positive responses when the
service compensation was provided immediately after the service failure
occurred, and we also found that compared to the high price product, taking
immediately remedial measure would enhance the repurchase intention,
especially for the low price product. In addition, as for the female consumers
offering compensation would help to promote the satisfaction and repurchase
intention.

Abstract
This study attempts to integrate sustainable development (SD) with the
framework of balanced scorecard (BSC) to construct a performance evaluation
model of sustainable management (SM) of Cultural and Creative Parks (CCPs).
Relevant literature are summarized and analyzed; and experts having knowledge
and/or experience of related cultural and creative industries are consulted.
Through questionnaires surveys and interviews consensus, a hybrid method
combing fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and
Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) are applied to identify the critical criteria of
performance evaluation for SM of CCPs. This research involves two stages of
surveys. In the first stage survey, by the expert consensus, FDM is adopted to
select out 8 criteria (referred as Customer Requirement (CR) / Voice of Customer
(VOC)) of the SD goals of CCPs and 15 criteria (referred as Technical
Requirement (TR) / Voice of Engineering (VOE)) of performance evaluation of
SM of CCPs. In the second stage survey, QFD is employed to establish the
relationship matrix using the entropy method to calculate the objective weights of
CR/VOC. Finally, GRA is applied to determine priorities of the critical criteria of
TR/VOE. The results indicate that Historical of cultural identity and
inheritance, Characteristics of regional space and presentation of cultural
value, and Deepened cognition of cultural industries are the top three
important SD goals of CCPs. Moreover, the three top critical criteria of
performance evaluation of SM of CCPs are Features of cultural and creative
theme park, Multiple communication platform for cultural and creative
industries, and Professional quality. Consequently, according to the research
results, business operations strategies are developed to serve as important
references of SM of CCPs for related operational institutions. In addition, some
suggestions are provided for the relevant authorities in setting or amending the
policies of SD of cultural and creative industries.

Whilst his novels One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera
(1985) have received critical acclaim in the light of magic realism, his short stories in
particular pay a subtle tribute to his artistry in rhetoric: in that, Marquez is legendary for
his signature choice of diction given his treatment of multifarious themes that border on
the dilemma of binary oppositions, accentuated by what appears as a conscious focus on
aspects such as hybridity, irony and authorial reticence.
Furthermore, at a tangent, considering the polemical thrust of cultural theory in the
domain of memory studies, it is apparent that perceived notions of culture, myth and
memory complexly combine to create a rich tapestry of rhetorical visuality in Marquezs
short stories; whereupon the reader is ushered into quaint little towns peopled with
seemingly uncanny characters who are often portrayed as merely incidental to the plot,
and yet they represent what may be aptly termed the xeno in cultural theory. In Greek,
the notion of the xeno loosely translates to foreigner, alien or stranger. Although, in
the discipline of memory studies, the term specifically connotes the politics of inclusion
and exclusion, pointing to the other of culture the animal, the outcast, the bizarre, the
bodily grotesque etc. generally viewed as the very parody of societal norms and mores.
For instance, the reader encounters outlandish images of a woman who has morphed into a
spider, or an old decrepit man with wings cast away on the shore who rants in a strange
heretic tongue, or a tawdry leper whose sores magically sprout sunflowers. All these fringeline characters occupy the world of spectacle, and are constructed in the language of
ambiguity.
Thereof, the paper at hand is an attempt to lend perspective to the rhetorical construction
of the xeno in Marquezs short stories, stressing the trope of ambiguity which is
identified as pivotal to the analysis. Moreover, the notion of the xeno is discursively
perused based on the application of various precepts by several theorists in logical
progression: William Empsons categories of ambiguity, Claude Levi Strausss concept of
bricolage, Bakhtins premise of the carnivalesque-grotesque, Derridas principle of
binary opposition, Viktor Shklovskys technique of defamiliarization, and Vladimir
Propps idea of archetypes.

necessary to provide them peace education according to their own understanding.
The important idea is to form strategic alliances with universities and some
possible parties so that the module and activities that will be able to be used as a
guide for peace education, both in and outside classrooms. This means the peace
education is also possibly disseminated to some parties like the head of village,
NGOs, local government, traditional leaders and community leaders that are
expected to see and even to implement the peace education module and activities

Abstract
This article is interested in states power space extension under which local people
are controlled, and in return, how local people deal and face with these controls.
A Phu-tai ethnic community in the Northeast that used to join the Community
Party of Thailand was selected to serve as the study site. A qualitative method,
through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, was used for data
collection. This research found that states extension of its power space has met
with different types of response and negotiation from local people. Due to states
administrative reform, the state insert its control into local community through
different means, i.e. village heads that appointed by the state, tax-collection
system. The state power was seriously contested during the presence and the
growing influence of Communism in rural areas. However, the state regained
political space again after the end of conflict between the state and Communism.
This paper argues that within the political space which is virtually under control
of the state, local people can find their ways to deal with the state power. They
were constantly negotiating with the state by using the history of being involved
with the Communist Party of Thailand.

Abstract
Syrian Crisis is limited to Middle-East, but the strategic interests of USA and
Russia have made Damascus a test case for future crisis in any other country.
Most countries of Levant and Gulf region are desperate to topple Assads
government in Syria, but President Assad has firm support from Iran, Lebanons
Hezbollah and most importantly Russia. US reliance on proxy forces and their
subsequent corroboration is the norm for the Democratic Party under President
Obama.
Russian resurgence has not only prolonged and strengthened the period of Syrian
regime but it also has constrained USA not to repeat the Iraq episode in Syria
under the same slogan of weapons destruction, chemical this time. USA has
worked on the alternate i-e creating strong opposition forces of indigenous
Syrians, (FSA) but the groups like Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and Al-Nusra
Front are a worry for every Middle-Eastern country since their plans include the
establishment of a borderless Caliphate. The study also suggests the aftermath of
this bloody war; the countries fueling the fire might end up on the burning side
especially if they keep on treating every opposition group as the same irrespective
of their agendas.

Abstract
The core factor that leads the children to participate in self-imposed laboring is
poverty. However, child laboring, in form of tour guiding, offered opportunities
for the children to obtain benefits from tourism. This study provided an overview
about the existing child laboring in Minalungao National Park and determined if
pro-poor tourism exists in the tourist destination. Moreover, this study gave
insight on the impacts of self-imposed tour guiding to the welfare of the children
participating in the tourism industry of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija. Also, it
presented the motivators that lead the children to participate to tour guiding and
the governments actions to ensure the protection of the childrens welfare.
Qualitative research was utilized to understand how self-imposed laboring affects
the welfare of the children. In relation, interpretive study using semi-structured
interview and observation were used to draw conclusions to the existence of propoor tourism in the research setting. This study aimed to raise awareness to the
public regarding the participation of children in self-imposed laboring and its
effects to their welfare and to suggest training programs and assistance to ensure

Issues on Religious Coexistence Tolerance in Albania (1912-1945)
Ahmed Kalaja

ahmedkalaja@yahoo.com
ABSTRACT
The religious tolerance is one of the rarest values of the tradition of the Albanian
people. It is widely accepted that Albanian people are well known about these
values, about an excellent coexistence among the believers of different religious
communities that are in Albania, mainly Muslims and Christians. In this study
we bring the essentials of this phenomenon, promotional roots ofthese values,
while viewed from a previously untreated point of view, and in an attempt to
answer the questions: Where does it stem from the religious coexistence in
Albania? What are the main promoters of this phenomenon? What has been the
attitude of the religious clergy in Albania? Have they been and are the imams and
priests, the promotion of tolerance and religious coexistence in Albania?
These are some of the questions answered in this modest study, focusing on how
nice and with how much delicacy the lectures of the Clergy have addressed this
issue to the faithful or to the world in general.Since they enjoyed undisputable
reputation and influence in the majority of the population, in the most critical
moments of national history, the leaders of Muslims believers, not only have
promoted tolerance and religious coexistence, but they have considered the
believers of other faiths as brothers preaching this conviction in front of their
Muslim believers. These preachings were firstly begun by Vehbi Dibra, who was
the first Chairman of the Muslims and all clerics without exception to this
day.Also unforgettable are the sermons of priests like: Fr. Gjergj Fishta, Fr.
Shtjefn Gjeovi, or Metropolitan Visarion Xhuvani to conclude with pearls of
Orthodox priest, Fan S. Noli, who amazed the world with his three speeches in
front of world leaders, the League of Nations, being representative of all
Albanians, although Orthodox believers were only 20% of the population.

as soon as they enter the schoolhouses. One of the main demands of this
profession is classroom management, and relatedly maintaining classroom
discipline. Teachers tend to find various solutions to maintain discipline from
physical punishment to persuasion. This study explores the views and perceptions
of teachers regarding their relationships with their students, and how they
maintain classroom discipline. The findings reported are based on responses from
face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers working in state schools
in Istanbul, Turkey. During the interviews three major questions were asked: 1)
Can you talk about your classroom relationships with your students? 2) How do
you maintain classroom discipline? 3) How do the psychological counselor(s) in
your school support you with your relationships with your students? The
interviews are analyzed with constant comparative method; and as a result three
major themes emerged. They are (1) teacher-student relationship in the
classroom; (2) ways of maintaining classroom discipline; and (3) support from
psychological counselors.

Abstract
This stanza is from the best-known lyric of Blake. The stanza conveys at once the
renascence of wonder and contempt for a mechanistic postulation of God.
Apparently the and in the title given for writing this paper is a conjugation and
hence innocuous; but the relationship between the three bristles with
controversies. To fully appreciate the tension between literature, science and
religion, we have to constantly keep in view the development of science and the
progress of literature and the state of religion vis--vis science. What is known as
science today came into existence from the 17th century onwards. When
Copernicus and Galileo propounded their theories not even a tremor was caused
in the intellectual circles, excluding the religious. In the 17th century, after the
establishment of the Royal Society in England and the publication of Principia by
Newton the stage was set for the conflict or opposition between science and
religion. The way in which literary men treated scientific phenomena was entirely
different from that of scientists. Milton called light as the effulgence of bright
essence in create whereas his contemporary, Isaac Newton, a matter of corpuscular emission. Donne, too, was aware of scientific advancements. Donne
writes:The new philosophy calls all in doubt, The element of fire is quite put
out;The sun is lost and the earth, and no mans wit,Can well direct him where to
look for it, And freely men confess that this worlds spent,When in the planets
and the firmamentThey seek to many new; they see that thisIs crumbled out
again so his atomies.In general in the 17th and 18th centuries, there was not
much, of antagonism between science and literature. Everyone knows of Popes
epitaph for Newton:Nature and Natures laws lay hid in Night!God said, Let
Newton be! And all was light. It was only in the 19th century that litterateurs
began to attack science. By this time, science had advanced so much that it
became the chief aid for the material life of man inclusive of luxuries. This
material prosperity of England along with a longing for it was criticized as
philistinism. All are familiar with R.L. Stevensons novel, Doctor Jekyll and Mr.

Abstract
We are living in a period of time that man is under domination of images; i.e.
movies, social media, Television, print media and so on. Now is the time of
studying and researching on these type of texts. Visual texts likewise reconstruct
lifes realities and represent them. My purpose in this research is to know
reconstructed reality and its deficiencies in order to represent a more ideal
reality. This article is seeking to explore and explain the gender discrimination
representations in cinematic works of two feminist directors by encountering
feminism subculture with dominant culture which is approximately patriarchic;
in this context I can assess these two directors interaction and communication
with the major culture, the communication is provided by cinema. On the other
side, through an intercultural approach I compare two different cultures, each is
involved with patriarchy to some degree. In addition I consider Belgian and
Iranian director's distinguished representations of gender discrimination existing
in their societies. The article seeks to understand which gender discriminations
are in two different cultures of Iran and Belgium or in a more general words east
and west alongside comprehending the quality of critiques of feminist filmmakers
towards these discriminations.
Key words: gender discrimination, cinema, representation, feminism.

Abstract
One of the most important issues which an American Cinema paid an special
attention to constantly in recent years is the representation of an image of a
typical Iranian citizen and macroscopically Iranian culture. this vision has been
implemented drastically in American historical, ancient, political and social
features all alike and has always been the centre of attention in various forms.
Today Iran as an important strategic country in the middle east, has observed
many political and social requirements in its intercultural relation with other
countries which have always been the so many topics and controversies of vast
international orders. American cinema has been on the loop as well and took
advantage of abundance of these eras and occurrences in iranian culture and
46

history as dramatic stuff in order to produce cinematic features.But, this vision

has never been accompanied by the same tendency and interpretation, rather its
being re-implemented over and over in various forms and eras. sometimes
Hollywood has conveyed a precious notion beyond what it once was supposed to
be like with recruiting intellectually elite directors in order to re-construct its
structures or better to depict it as expanding its horizons beyond commercial
dreams. the way Hollywood placated and compromised with its origin, began a
new era merged with the progression in post-modernisations of ancient values
induced by Hollywood itself at very first place. this whole new model which was
being formed in past two decades, has influenced on the previously represented
vision and perception of Iranian culture and society in which Hollywood makes
its best efforts to end the controversy and give an idea of appropriately balanced
review on what was once called rough tendency towards Iranian society
optimistically.

Abstract
The globalized and borderless world renders the movement of capital from one
country to another country or event from one region to another region to be more
conveniently. The movement or flow of investment occurs after the investors
have assessed whether or not the climate or atmosphere in such country or region
is conducive to the investment. It is known that investment has risk and the
investors have to manage for minimizing said risks which include commercial risk
and political risk.The agreement on investment promotion and protection is an
international agreement that governments of both or more countries jointly
prepare to impose commitments for providing protection to investors who are
permitted to make investment under local laws of such receiving country. The
agreement involves with the protection after the establishment of investment
(post-establishment) in the countries. This type of agreement protects the
investors only when being impacted by State Measure and does not protect the
risk arising from normal business operations of private investors. For the case of
breach of agreement by a private contracting party and no intervention by the
state, such case will not be included in said agreement.
The commercial risk can be lessened by the knowledge and competency in
management. The political risk such as political instability, riot or commotion
and uncertainty of laws and regulations in various countries can be lessened when
the government assures to provide the protection for investment. There are many
aspects of political risk such as being a factor driving the currency of foreign
investment to increase. In addition, the trend of opening of free trade zone has
created challenges and opportunities to the investors to gain benefits and
enhancing the competitiveness by investing in various countries and break into
new potential market such as the markets in the Middle East and Africa.
Therefore, it is the duty of government to provide assistance and armor in favor
of the investors when making investment in overseas where they may encounter

risks and uncertainties like political instability, riot or commotion and

uncertainty of laws and regulations in various countries.
Representations or warranties to protect investors from political risk are done
through the agreement for the promotion and protection of investment between
contracting parties. It is because the said agreement will guarantee minimum
standards of international standard in favor of investors who have invested in the
receiving country which is a party to the agreement on investment promotion and
protection. The arrangement will give confidence to the investor that if there is
any political risk by whatever reason and if it falls under the scope of the
agreement on investment promotion and protection, the investors will be
protected by the government of receiving country. Until present Thailand has
entered into agreement on investment promotion and protection with 35 countries
and they are already in force. The negotiations with more than 50 countries are
underway.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has significant strategy in
accomplishing the agreement on investment promotion and protection. The key
aspect is to encourage Thai investors to invest in potential countries such as
Africa and Middle East by having agreement on investment promotion and
protection as a tool to protect Thai investors in overseas and to attract investment
from overseas as well as to strengthen and restore the confidence of foreign
investors in Thailand by aiming to create a favorable investment climate and
transparent and consistent law system.

ABSTRACT
From 2004, Thailand has been the main importer of durian to the People's
Republic of China. In that year, a protocol was signed on the inspection and
quarantine conditions of fruit, designating sanitary and phytosanitary measures
(SPS) on fresh fruits exported from Thailand to China. These include the
registration of exporters and packing houses, and following good manufacturing
practice (GMP) in accordance with the Thai Department of Agriculture. Thailand
in turn has also imposed SPS for durian exports from the Kingdom. Using a
comparative law approach, current regulations on Thai exports of durian to
China were evaluated in terms of Chinese regulations on importing durian from
Thailand. Results were that although legislation is consistent between the two
countries, the export and import processes are mostly controlled by Chinese
businesses. As a result, Thai farmers do not benefit from any trade surplus,
creating a difference between real cost and transaction cost. These findings may
help Thai farmers.

Abstract
This study was carried out in the North East Arid Zone of Nigeria to explore
strategies of enhancing pastoralists access to natural resources to attain
sustainable livelihoods. The primary sources of data used include key informant
interview, FGD, Oral histories, Geo coded transect walk and Administration of
interview schedule. A total number of 275 farming, agro-pastoral and pastoral
household heads (94 farmers, 90 agro-pastoralists and 91 pastoralists) were
interviewed. The study reveals that ensuring access to natural resource for
survival of livelihood is primary cause of conflicts among and between natural
resource users. Among the classes of conflicts, farmers pastoralists conflict is
perhaps dominant with unprecedented levels of violence. Data from this study
reveals lack of consensus between resource users on causes of conflicts and this
posed a major threat to conflict management. The study recommends the need for
shifting paradigm from conflict resolution to conflict prevention strategy,
building and developing the capacity of pastoralists and, giving livelihood support
to conflict affected pastoralists.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between cultural
communication factors and English communication and to examine the influence
of cultural factors on English communication in the service industry in Thailand.
The sampling method was convenience sampling; 202 participants were randomly
chosen by the human resource managers from the 10 international hotels
participating in this study. As part of their jobs, the selected participants had to
have contact with other international service industries or overseas branches and
to communicate in English in various ways in their daily work routine. The
research instrument was a questionnaire specifically designed to investigate the
influence of cultural factors on English communication in the international
service industry. The participants were asked to answer questions based on the
concepts of body language, cultural awareness, cross-cultural communication,
spoken communication, written communication, and nonverbal communication.
The research findings can be summarized as follows:(1) cross-cultural
communication factors were found to have an influence on English
communication primarily whilst staff were using email, which was the most
widely used form of communication in the industry; and (2) there were three
cultural communication factors that affect English communication, which can be
mapped into three significant groups: (a) body language, (b) cultural awareness,

Performance Management is indispensable to the function of managing human

resources. Utilizing tools such as performance reviews it aims to gauge the
developmental potentialities of an employee as well as to obtain information for
control or administrative purposes. The performance review process is a central
part of the system because it is based on a fundamental requisite for successful
management communication and feedback. Research reveals that the lack of
feedback, discourse and open channels of communication severely cripples the
effectiveness of managers duties of evaluating employees.Through documentary
analysis of literatures supported by statistics from internationally reputed survey
firms, this paper suggests that the effectiveness of the entire performance
management system lies in maximizing the efficiency of the performance review
process. This feat is only accomplishable by trained managers who are skilled
communicators and understand the contexts within which performance reviews
can and should occur.Thus, getting better results from performance reviews is
advocated as a strategic approach to ensuring the success of performance
management.
