• Summary/Abstract: THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC FORCED UNIVERSITIES TO MOVE FULLY OR PARTIALLY ONLINE AND TO USE ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING. THIS STUDY EXPLORES STUDENT REFLECTIONS ON ONLINE LEARNING COMPARED TO FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING AT THE ROMANIAN AND SLOVAK UNIVERSITIES. A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED ON 118 STUDENTS. THE STUDY FOUND THAT THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS EXPRESSED THEIR SATISFACTION WITH ONLINE LEARNING. THEY CONSIDERED THEIR ONLINE ENGLISH COURSES WELL-STRUCTURED AND CLEAR. MOREOVER, THEY PERCEIVED THEY COULD LEARN ENGLISH MORE EFFECTIVELY ONLINE BECAUSE THE CLASSES WERE MORE INTERACTIVE AND THE ONLINE PLATFORMS PROVIDED PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE ALL SKILLS: LISTENING, READING, WRITING AND SPEAKING. MOST OF THEM APPRECIATED THEIR ENGLISH ONLINE CLASSES DUE TO THE VARIABILITY OF LEARNING MATERIALS, METHODS AND ACTIVITIES, THE COMFORT, THE NOVELTY AND ATTRACTIVITY, THE SUPPORT OF LEARNER'S INDEPENDENCE AND OF SPEAKING CONFIDENCE. CONCERNING FACE-TOFACE CLASSES, THEY PREDOMINANTLY APPRECIATED THE EFFICIENCY, FEWER DISTRACTIONS, BETTER INTERACTION AND COMMUNICATION, FEWER HEALTH ISSUES CAUSED BY THE SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE, MORE SOCIAL CONTACT, LOSS OF TECHNICAL ISSUES, FAMILIARITY AND BETTER MOTIVATION.

• Summary/Abstract: THIS PAPER AIMED TO INVESTIGATE COINTEGRATION AND CAUSALITY EFFECT WITH BASE TO RUSSIAN FINANCIAL MARKET OVER UKRAINE, HUNGARY AND ROMANIA, (2) WHETHER IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR HEDGE THE INVESTMENT IN ONE MARKET BY INVESTING IN ANOTHER MARKET. FOR THIS PURPOSE WE EMPLOY VECTOR ERROR CORRELATION MODEL (VECM) AND CCC GARCH ON THE SAMPLE DATA FROM JANUARY 2013 TO AUGUST 2022 COLLECTED FROM BLOOMBERG. AIC CRITERIA HAS BEEN USED TO DETERMINE THE IDEAL LAG DURATION, WHICH IS DETERMINED TO BE 8 DAYS FOR PFTS - UKRAINE AND MOEX - RUSSIA, 9 DAYS FOR BET - ROMANIA AND MOEX - RUSSIA, AND 8 DAYS FOR BUX - HUNGARY AND MOEX - RUSSIA. THIS IS BECAUSE COINTEGRATION RESULTS ARE SENSITIVE TO LAG LENGTH. CAUSALITY MUST EXIST IF TWO PARAMETERS (EXTRINSIC AND INTRINSIC) COINTEGRATE IN AT LEAST ONE DIRECTION (GRANGER, 1986). ADDITIONALLY, IT WAS ASSERTED BY GHOSH (1993), LIEN AND LUO (1994), AND LIEN (1996) THAT IF THE TWO PRICE SERIES ARE DISCOVERED TO BE COINTEGRATED, THEN THERE ARE VIABLE ERROR CORRECTION REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PRICE SERIES THAT CONTAIN BOTH SHORT-TERM DYNAMICS AND LONG-TERM INFORMATION. THE STUDY USES THE VECTOR ERROR CORRECTION MODEL (VECM) BECAUSE SPOT AND FUTURES PRICES ARE COINTEGRATED IN ORDER TO EXAMINE THE LEAD-LAG RELATIONSHIP, THE LONG- AND SHORT-RUN SPEED ALTERATION TOWARDS EQUILIBRIUM, OR THE LONG-RUN STEADY STATE (CAUSALITY), BETWEEN PFTS INDEX (UKRAINE) AND MOEX INDEX – (RUSSIA) STOCK MARKET PRICES OF SAMPLE VARIABLES.

• Summary/Abstract: TO HAVE A CAREER, TO HAVE A GOOD CAREER MEANS TO ACHIEVE A GOOD POSITION IN SOCIETY, IT MEANS TO POSITION ONESELF HIGHER IN THE SOCIAL HIERARCHY, IN THE PROFESSIONAL HIERARCHY. CAREER MANAGEMENT IS A PROCESS, IT IS AN ART BUT ALSO A SCIENCE OF BUILDING OUR OWN PATH TO PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS. WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OUR PROFESSIONAL ASPIRATIONS, OUR OWN VALUES, OUR PLACE IN SOCIETY AT A GIVEN TIME, HOW WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY, THE RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE. BOTH OUR OWN CAREER ASPIRATIONS AND THE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED BY THE ORGANIZATION IN WHICH WE WORK ARE IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING OUR CAREERS. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IS ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS OF EMPLOYEES AND PROVIDING THEM WITH JOBS, CAREER PATHS AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT SUIT THEM. IT IS NECESSARY, FOR A COMMON DEVELOPMENT: BOTH OF THE ORGANIZATION AND OF THE EMPLOYEES, TO HAVE A CONCORDANCE BETWEEN THE PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVES OF THE EMPLOYEES AND THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION. ENHANCING THE VALUE OF EMPLOYEES AND MOTIVATING THEM WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION IN WHICH THEY WORK. THE PAPER PRESENTS THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPLEMENTING CAREER MANAGEMENT BOTH IN COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALLY BY EACH EMPLOYEE AND PRESENTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT POST COVID-19.

ACCORDING TO JURISPRUDENCE AND SHARIAH (ISLAMIC LAW) TEXTS, ISLAM'S MAIN GOAL OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC JUSTICE IS TO ESTABLISH FAIRNESS IN SOCIETY, SO IT IS SAID THAT IN ISLAM THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN MEMBERS OF SOCIETY, AND JUSTICE AND SECURITY FOR THE LIVES OF MEMBERS OF SOCIETY, THEIR PROPERTY AND WEALTH MUST ALWAYS BE ESTABLISHED. BE SOCIAL JUSTICE PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY, BUT IT SHOULD BE SEEN WHETHER THESE PROMISES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED OR IGNORED. IN THIS REGARD, IN THIS ARTICLE, FIRST, THE LEVEL OF SOCIAL-ISLAMIC RESPONSIBILITY OF BANKS IN IRAN IS EXAMINED COMPARED TO WHAT IS EXPECTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, AND THEN, USING THE METHOD OF VARIANCE ANALYSIS, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF DISCLOSURE OF SOCIAL-ISLAMIC RESPONSIBILITY AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BANKS ARE STUDIED. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE BANKS IN IRAN DO NOT ADEQUATELY FULFILL THEIR SOCIAL-ISLAMIC RESPONSIBILITIES, AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE RESPONSIBILITIES DOES NOT AFFECT THEIR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

• Summary/Abstract: CULTURE IS THE WAY OF THINKING AND ACTING, IT IS A SYSTEM OF ATTITUDES, VALUES, IDEAS, BEHAVIORS AND INSTITUTIONS. CULTURE IS A WAY OF HUMANIZING MAN, OF HUMANITY, IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING QUALITIES THAT ARE NOT FOUND IN NATURE AND THAT ARISE FROM THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE BIOLOGICAL EXISTENCE FORMS OF MAN INTO SOCIO-CULTURAL EXISTENCE. THE MECHANISM THAT ENSURES THIS ORGANIZATION IS THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION, FORMALIZATION AND STANDARDIZATION OF HUMAN RELATIONS AND THE BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT WHICH A SOCIETY CANNOT EXIST. IN AN ORGANIZATION, CULTURE IS THE MAJOR DETERMINANT NECESSARY FOR ITS FUNCTIONING AND OBTAINING THE NECESSARY SKILLS FOR EVOLUTION. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS A CRITICAL VISION ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF COMPANIES OF ITS POWERFUL MEANING IN THE ORGANIZATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF ANY KIND OF SOCIETY. ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IS AN INTRINSIC PART OF HUMAN INTRINSIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. THE RISE OF THEORETICAL CONCERNS AND PRAGMATIC APPROACHES REGARDING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE LEAD TO A NEW VISION OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE MODERN ORGANIZATION AND TO A NEW TYPE OF MANAGEMENT.

• Summary/Abstract: FRAUD IS AN EVER-INCREASING CONCERN FOR NIGERIAN MANUFACTURING FIRMS, WITH EMPLOYEES USING VARIOUS TACTICS TO PERFORM FRAUDULENT ACTS. THE BROAD OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF PERSONALITY TRAITS ON FIDDLE TENDENCIES AMONG WORKERS OF COCA-COLA PLC. THE STUDY ADOPTED A SIMPLE SURVEY DESIGN TO COLLECT DATA FROM COCA-COLA PLC IN LAGOS PLANT, LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA. THE STUDY POPULATION CONSISTS OF COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY- LAGOS PLANT EMPLOYEES, WHICH WERE ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY-FOUR (1024), AND A SAMPLE SIZE OF 20% WAS USED FOR THE STUDY TOTALLING 210 PARTICIPANTS. A CONVENIENT SAMPLING METHOD WAS USED TO PICK THE RESPONDENTS. DATA COLLECTED WERE ANALYZED USING THE SIMPLE PERCENTAGE FREQUENCY COUNTS FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES, WHILE CORRELATION WAS USED FOR TESTING THE STUDY’S HYPOTHESES. THE RESULTS SHOWED CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, EXTRAVERSION, AGREEABLENESS, AND NEUROTICISM ARE EXPLANATORY PERSONALITY VARIABLES THAT SIGNIFICANTLY CORRELATE WITH FIDDLE TENDENCIES AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY, LAGOS STATE. THE OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE IS ALSO AN EXPLANATORY PERSONALITY VARIABLE, BUT WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP WITH FIDDLE TENDENCIES AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY, LAGOS STATE. THE STUDY CONCLUDED THAT MOST DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY TRAITS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT FIDDLE TENDENCIES AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY, LAGOS STATE, AND OTHER FOOD AND BEVERAGE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE A CLEARLY DEFINED COMPANY POLICY ON FIDDLE BEHAVIOUR AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE CODE OF CONDUCT. THIS WILL DIRECT THE CONDUCT OF THEIR EMPLOYEES TOWARD FIDDLE BEHAVIOURS AND ENHANCE CONDUCTS THAT PURSUE HONEST PRACTICES.

• Summary/Abstract: PURPOSE: IDENTIFICATION OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR LABOR FORCE MANIFESTATION WITHIN THE UAT ROVINARI AREA (ADULT PERSONS RESIDING IN THE LOCALITY), CONSIDERING THE DEGREE OF SATISFACTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ACT EXERCISED AT THE LEVEL OF THE LOCALITY OF RESIDENCE, THE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION OFFERED BY THE WORKPLACE AND THE AVAILABILITY FOR PROFESSIONAL RETRAINING, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICS OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE ECONOMIC COMPANIES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL AREA. METHODS: THE STUDY WAS BUILT ON THE BASIS OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE APPLIED TO 518 ADULT PERSONS (OLDER THAN 18 YEARS), REPRESENTING ABOUT 10% OF THE TOTAL AGE SAMPLE MENTIONED IN THE ROVINARI UAT RANGE. METHOD AND TECHNIQUE OF INVESTIGATION USED: OPINION SURVEY BASED ON THE QUESTIONNAIRE, WITH THE ERROR MARGIN OF +/- 5% AND THE PROBABILITY OF 95%. THE DATA WAS COLLECTED BETWEEN 15 JUNE 2022 AND 15 SEPTEMBER 2022 RESULTS: 45.53% OF RESPONDENTS EXPRESS THEIR CONFIDENCE IN LOCAL AUTHORITIES, STATING THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR ACTIVITY, WHICH DETERMINES THE STABILITY AND SOCIAL COMFORT OF THE POPULATION, AS WELL AS THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE LOCALITY. IN THIS CONTEXT, A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF 73.16% OF RESPONDENTS SAY THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ANOTHER JOB, BEING SATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION. A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF 61.79% OF RESPONDENTS EXPRESSED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO INITIATE A PROFESSIONAL RECONVERSION/RETRAINING APPROACH IF SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATIONS WILL REQUIRE IT, AND A PERCENTAGE OF 40.65% OF THEM WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ACTIVATING, THROUGH RECONVERSION, IN THE FIELD OF CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH OPPORTUNITIES. CONCLUSIONS: THE ADULT POPULATION WITH A STABLE DOMICILE WITHIN THE UAT ROVINARI AREA RECORDS HIGH INDICATORS OF QUALITY OF LIFE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CONFIDENCE IN LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND JOB SATISFACTION. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT MANIFESTS OPENNESS TO THE TRANSFORMATIONS AT THE SOCIETAL LEVEL, IT ACCEPTS THE INVOLVEMENT IN PROFESSIONAL RECONVERSION / RETRAINING PROGRAMS, WHICH IS AN ENCOURAGING FACTOR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ECONOMIC CAPABILITIES WITHIN THE UAT ROVINARI RANGE, ADAPTED TO THE REQUIREMENTS AND PARTICULARITIES OF THE CURRENT GLOBAL SOCIETY.

• Summary/Abstract: THIS ESSAY ANALYSES THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION BETWEEN 2001 AND PRESENT BY USING THE ARGUMENTS FROM DEFENSIVE REALISM, MORE EXACTLY, FROM THE BALANCE OF THREATS THEORY, AS COINED BY STEPHEN WALT. IN THIS PAPER I WILL TRY TO REVEAL THE REASONS THAT DETERMINED THESE STATES TO JOIN THE SCO, GIVEN THEIR DIFFERENT INTERESTS. IN ANALYZING THE REASONS OF JOINING THE SCO, I WILL USE THE THEORETICAL CONCEPTS OF BALANCING AND BANDWAGONING, IN ORDER TO SEE IF THOSE STATES HAVE HAD DIFFERENT MOTIVATIONS TO ENTER IN THIS ORGANIZATION OR IF THEIR DECISIONS WERE DETERMINED BY THE ALMOST THE SAME REASONS. THEREFORE, I ARGUE THAT RUSSIA, CHINA, INDIA, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZTAN, TAJIKISTAN, UZBEKISTAN AND PAKISTAN ENTERED IN THE SCO BASED ON DIFFERENT SECURITY CONCERNS AND SOME OF THEM ADOPTED A BALANCING BEHAVIOR, WHILE OTHERS BANDWAGONED WITH THE SOURCE OF THREAT

• Summary/Abstract: THE TERRORIST THREAT IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING BOTH GLOBALLY, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. THE ALARMING DANGER OF TERRORIST ACTIVITIES IS FELT BY ALL SOCIAL STRATA AND IN ALL PLANES OF SOCIETAL LIFE. TERRORISM IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS THREATS TO DEMOCRACY, THE FREE EXERCISE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE TERRORIST THREAT IS CARRIED OUT BY DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SERVICE OF DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES. THE RELIGIOUS FACTOR HAS A PARTICULAR IMPACT IN STRENGTHENING TERRORISM, WHICH CAN LEAD TO RADICAL MILITANCY AND FANATICISM. A MULTIDIMENSIONAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS NECESSARY AND REQUIRED, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF KNOWING, PREVENTING AND COUNTERING THE MANIFESTATION OF ANTI-TERRORIST ACTIONS, THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS, INCLUDING THE USE OF INFORMATION AND MASS COMMUNICATION. THIS APPROACH IS NECESSARY TO DE FACTO COMBAT THE MODE OF INDOCTRINATION, SPREAD AND RADICALIZATION IMPOSED, MANIFESTED AND CARRIED OUT BY TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS ON A GLOBAL SCALE. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEVELOP A PRO-HUMAN SOCIETY, WHICH PURSUES THE SOCIAL INTEREST, ENCOURAGES INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS, FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND BELONGING TO CERTAIN VALUES (POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, CULTURAL, ETC.), AS A PRAGMATIC WAY TO PREVENT EXTREMISM OF ANY KIND AS WELL AS TERRORISM, IN PARTICULAR.

• Summary/Abstract: THERE IS, PERHAPS, NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW FOR US TO APPRECIATE THE FACTOR OF THE IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT IN UNDERSTANDING THE PECULIARITIES OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD. AT VARIOUS TIMES, IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT WHAT WORKS IN A PART OF THE WORLD MAY NOT WORK, IN THE SAME WAY, IN ANOTHER PART, EVEN AS GLOBALIZATION CONTINUES TO ATTEMPT TO DEFINE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THE ARTICLE EXAMINES HOW INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE HAS INFORMED HOW NIGERIANS’ ATTITUDES DEFY THE GLOBAL OUTLOOK BUT DETERMINE THEIR SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES THROUGH A RE-INTERPRETATION OF THEIR SITUATIONS USING THE UNDERSTANDING, SKILLS AND PHILOSOPHIES GARNERED IN THE PROCESS OF RELATING WITH THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE PAPER CAPTURES THOMAS’ SOCIOLOGICAL THEOREM OF ‘IF MEN DEFINE SITUATION AS REAL, THEY ARE REAL IN THEIR CONSEQUENCES’. IN DOING THIS, THE PAPER EXAMINES HOW POLITICS, SOME ECONOMIC PRACTICES AT THE MARKET PLACE AND HEALTH BEHAVIOR REDEFINE AND REINTERPRET GLOBAL EXPECTATIONS FOR SURVIVAL. THUS, THE PEOPLE’S ‘SUBJECTIVE’ INTERPRETATIONS HAVE BECOME ‘SCIENTIFIC’ WITH LITTLE RECOURSE TO GLOBALIZED EXPECTATIONS. IN THIS WISE, THE’ IDEAL’, GLOBAL, IS CONFRONTED BY THE ‘REAL’, INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE, AND, AT THE END, DEFINING THE CONSEQUENCES.
