Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to explore the overarching theme of blue ocean strategy thesis and its determinants, alongside the arguments building the antithesis of blue ocean strategy and its determining factors. The approach included reviewing the empirical and seminal literature inclusive of books on blue ocean strategy and articles published by eminent scholars and researchers. The paper presents in detail the theme encompassed by blue ocean strategy, elaborates the theoretical perspectives and highlights its components inclusive of description of frameworks and analytical tools. Porter’s theoretical perspective on strategy was incorporated in the discussion to build the arguments for antithesis and conclusions are accordingly drawn. This paper is meant to provide some diverse perspectives on Strategy, the related description of frameworks and analytical tools for the constituencies of academia, practitioners and policy makers. This review study may advance knowledge in the domain of understanding Strategy, its two contrasting theories along with linked determinants and constructs from different lenses, relevant for academia, practitioners, and policy makers.

This paper contains a reflection on the Hegelian Dialectic Synthesis, shortened by the triplet Thesis–Antithesis–Synthesis, from a formal and naive points of view inscribed in the field of ordinary or commonsense reasoning. The Dialectic Synthesis is analyzed thanks to the methodology of Fuzzy Logic, and limiting the antithesis to either negation or opposite. It is shown, through very simple examples, the necessity for arriving at a synthesis, of a common ground (either crisp or possibilistic) between the thesis and its antithesis.

From the beginning until now, religion has always been a paradoxical term. Religion has become an ambiguous term because it has both thesis and antithesis that are closely inherent. The thesis is that religion is positive strength striving for virtue, salvation, prosperity, happiness, and peace in the reality of human society globally and locally. On the other hand, religion also appears as negative force to be the antithesis of the religion itself. Problems rise on the religion lie not in the thesis but in the antithesis because thesis and antithesis are always accompanying the dynamics of religion in society reality. So that, it needs a "third way" as a tool to harmonize, align, and reconcile the contradiction. Research used qualitative method with critical hermeneutic approach intended to evaluate the antithesis of religion and show constructive side towards a better future. Based on the results and discussion, there is one thing called synthesis of religion. The synthesis area of religion should be an element that continues to be explored and optimized in order to create peace in the contemporary world and in the future. It takes an appreciation of positivistic religion so religion really becomes a force to liberate human beings from various negative phenomena which discolour the realm of religion.

In my article, I would like to show Emil Brunner’s early thoughts and statements included in his sermons in Obstalden among others. These sermons are unknown and unpublished to date. It is mostly claimed that Brunner entered in a modern and dialectical phase because of his colleague in the Reformed Church, Karl Barth. The truth is that they later had intense discussions about theses and antitheses in the phase of dialectics. Brunner, however, formulates new dialectical thoughts earlier than Barth does – for example, already in 1916 on dialectical Christology by using the text Mk 15:33–41 and reflecting arguments of modern theology. He speaks in his sermons about God (thesis), man (antithesis), and “Gottmensch” (synthesis). Keywords: Mark, modern theology, dialectics, Christology, “Gottmensch”

Full textAbstract:
The work is devoted to the assessment of the correspondence of the names of terminological dictionaries to the methods of semantization of the terms presented in them. The study uses a method that denies the synonymy of the terms "explanation" and "definition". The definitional analysis of these terms confirmed the alternative of their use in dictionaries of various purposes. It has been established that explanation as a method of semantization is correctly used in educational translation dictionaries intended for the initial period of study at a university, when the addressee begins to study special disciplines and does not possess the relevant competencies. Such dictionaries can be attributed to the type of "explanatory terminological dictionary". The definition reveals the meaning of the term in dictionaries intended for specialists who are well-versed in the terminology system of their branch of knowledge. Dictionaries of this type can be considered "industry terminological dictionaries". The use of the lexeme "explanatory" in their names is incorrect because it contradicts the method of semantization. Thus, the distinction between explanation and definition should contribute to relevance in the matter of choosing the source of information.

Full textAbstract:
In the field of alternative journalism, my work seeks to build empathy and combat inequalities of representation within a specified community of viewer-participants. Through MA thesis work, I built flexible, minimalist design systems that succeeded by receding—by eliminating expressive elements and pushing contributor content (visual and literary work in a variety of styles) to the foreground.
In response to the highly technological, reductive mindset that had come to dominate my creative life, I engaged in exploratory exercises that were antithetical to this prior work. Through expressive engagement with analog materials, I isolated the skill of making and responding to a range of personal marks that were free of the constraints associated with developing marketing materials or periodicals for a general audience. Slowed into a more contemplative mindset, I explored abstraction, symbolism and personal history in works that engaged on different levels, and became more open to discovering images through the process.
I found that at the heart of my work—from clean, legible layouts for books and magazines to the most abstract, personal or expressive wall-hanging pieces—is a desire to connect, to bring about preferred (clearer, deeper) states of information transfer by fusing content, form, and viewer participation into moments of contemplative engagement. Whether in pictures, objects, publications, or the user interfaces and platforms of the future that are yet unknown, this understanding will help me respond to changing media environments with work that connects and resonates.

Filis, Georgios. "Russia and Turkey in the geopolitics of Eurasia & the theory of median space : thesis-synthesis-antithesis." Thesis, Durham University, 2008. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/227/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to address the issue of the broader geopolitical architecture of Eurasia using as a case study the Russian-Turkish diachronic relations which are being examined through an original and fresh geopolitical/geocultural theoretical framework introduced also in the pages of this research. The introduction presents a brief overview of the aims, issues and questions that this study expects to achieve, approach and bring up for discussion. This research is divided into three parts and each part contains two chapters. Part I deals with the general theoretical framework within which this study is going to be delivered. Chapter 1 critically assesses the existing theoretical geopolitical debate and aims to designate the reasons for the urgent need for the articulation of a new theoretical perspective. Chapter 2 introduces an original approach in the geopolitical theory under the label of the ‘Integrated Geopolitical/Geocultural Theory of the Median Space’. The suggested model makes two major propositions. First that there is a diachronic ‘Median Space’ identity in a specific geographical space which was never disappeared in the midst of the eternal ‘East’-‘West’ competition and is surviving even today. Second, within the Median Space region there is a specific ‘pattern’ on the implementation of International Relations which also remained unchanged throughout the centuries since all the regional and extra-regional actors are operating, consciously or unconsciously, according to its precepts. Having presented this newly introduced framework Part II and Part III of the research are trying through textual and empirical analysis, respectively to provide the necessary evidence that strengthen the abovementioned new geopolitical model. Part II through a historical-sociological-anthropological perspective tries to prove the first proposition about the viability of a Median Space mentality. Thus, as a case-study, it examines the diachronic geocultural and geopolitical identity of Russia and Turkey in chapters 3 and 4, respectively. Part III by engaging International Relations macroscopic and microscopic analysis through chapters 5 and 6, respectively aims to address the second proposition about the specific pattern that is being followed by all actors interacting in the Median Space. Chapter 5, in a macroscopic way examines the suggested pattern through a historical scrutiny of the relations between the spaces that nowadays is being characterized as Turkey and Russia. Chapter 6, in a microscopic way, depicts the contemporary developments of the region and tries to extract the evidence that could support the second Median Space proposition. Initially this chapter examines the ‘energy’ component through an analysis of the contemporary ‘energy game’ and then it approaches the ‘security’ component by moving from a micro-level to a macro-level International Relations analysis starting from the Caucasus area and expanding through the Black Sea-Straits-Aegean system to the whole Median Space region. Conclusion recapitulates the findings of this research.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this thesis is Emile Zola’s novel Thérèse Raquin (1867). The principal aim is to examine lexical repetitions and their importance for semantic networks. The thesis studies the use of the noun cou and certain of its co-occurrences, as well as the use of colours and their derivatives. Employing the methods of Greimas and Rastier, the study is based upon two analyses, one narratological and the other thematic, an approach which allows us not only to study the importance of lexical repetitions, but also to study another aspect of the writing, Zola’s various sources of inspiration. This approach aids in showing the stylistic profile of the novel from a new perspective. Our second aim concerns the Swedish translations of the text. The degree of equivalence of lexical repetitions and their transmission has been studied in three versions (Wilson, 1884, Bjurman, 1911, and Bouleau, 1953). Our analysis draws on Berman’s and Heldner’s ideas about the critical evaluation of translated literary texts. The results of this thesis show that Zola, in Thérèse Raquin, uses lexical repetitions to create a stylistic effect that not only draws inspiration from literary and artistic sources, but that is also inspired by real events of the time. These stylistic properties, such as the system of colour leitmotivs, must be conveyed in a translation that is to be considered faithful to the original. The findings of this study suggest that there is a dependency between two of the examined versions and that it would be desirable to produce a new Swedish translation of the novel, equivalent to Zola’s text.<br>Le roman Thérèse Raquin (1867) d’Émile Zola est l’objet d’étude de la présente thèse. Le premier but est d’y examiner des répétitions lexicales et leur importance pour des réseaux sémantiques. Nous y étudions l’emploi du nom cou et certaines de ses co-occurrences, ainsi que des couleurs et leurs dérivés présents. Suivant des méthodes de Greimas et Rastier, l’étude s’effectue au moyen de deux analyses, l’une narratologique, l’autre thématique, ce qui nous permet non seulement d’examiner l’importance des répétitions lexicales, mais aussi d’étudier un aspect supplémentaire de l’écriture, les diverses sources d’inspiration de Zola. Cette approche contribue à montrer, dans une perspective nouvelle, le profil stylistique du roman. Notre deuxième but concerne des traductions suédoises du texte. Dans trois versions (Wilson, 1884, Bjurman, 1911, et Bouleau, 1953), est évalué le degré d’équivalence des répétitions lexicales et la transmission des répétitions lexicales examinées. Pour notre analyse, nous nous servons des idées de Berman et de Heldner, qui traitent le sujet d’évaluation critique de textes littéraires traduits. Les résultats de la présente thèse montrent que Zola, dans Thérèse Raquin, utilise les répétitions lexicales pour créer un effet de style qui puise son inspiration non seulement dans des sources littéraires et artistiques, mais aussi dans des événements de la réalité de son époque. Ces propriétés stylistiques, comme la systématique des leitmotivs des couleurs, doivent être rendues dans une traduction censée être fidèle à l’original. Les analyses de notre étude évoquent qu’il y a une dépendance entre deux des versions examinées et qu’il est souhaitable de produire une nouvelle traduction suédoise du roman, équivalente au texte de Zola.

Full textAbstract:
Hume said that necessity was part of the popular concept of cause but not legitimately so. Necessity could be found in no experience of causation so should be expelled from the concept. To this extent, Hume was right but it leaves us with a problem of inductive scepticism. Nevertheless, many of his critics overreacted in defending the necessity of causation. Additive interference shows that there is no causal necessity. Both Hume’s thesis and its antithesis seem flawed; but there are prospects of a synthesis. The idea of tendency can give us an intermediate, third modality between necessity and pure contingency, and this seems to be the correct modality of causation.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this essay is to analyse the story of Alatiel in its philosophical context, comparing the novella with the erotic and ethic conceptions in Middle Ages. From this point of view, it is possible to recognize two models in the story: the first is embodied by the lovers of the young woman and their savage behaviour, which seems to annihilate reason and morals, in line with the comment of Dino del Garbo to Donna me Prega. The second model is proposed by Alatiel, forced to indulge fortune’s will. Around this antithesis Boccaccio develops his narrative technique, switching focalization from Alatiel to her lovers, and again to Alatiel, to debate about one of the most important themes of the whole Decameron: human action between the context created by the fortune and moral choice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Proponents of liberum ius ad bellum usually cite this provocative proposition only very briefly—as if it needed no further explanation. Chapter 2, in contrast, investigates the substantiation of this thesis in greater detail. To this end, the proposition of liberum ius ad bellum is critically reconstructed in order to show that it emanated not only from the realist narrative of ‘anarchy’, but also from a liberal teleological narrative of ‘progress’ (Chapter 2.2). Against these oversimplifying narratives, the chapter develops the counter-thesis that throughout history, war has always required normative justification (Chapter 2.3). Contrasting thesis and antithesis, the book’s theoretical premise will become apparent: the justification of war constitutes a political discourse on normatively ordering the international.

We have reached a point at which any attempt to find a complete and self-contained urban system is doomed to failure from the outset.1 —O.M. Ungers, The Dialectic City Thus introduces German architect Oswald Mathias Ungers the idea of the “dialectic city” in his 1997 book of the same title. A decisive break with the long (and ongoing) lineage of exclusive theories of urbanism ever since CIAM’s Functional City, Ungers’ dialectic city remains to date one of the few truly inclusive theories. Challenging the modernist concept of the city as singular plannable system, he insists that instead, it exists as a balance of coinciding opposites (coincidentia oppositorum2) , in which thesis and antithesis are suspended within a constellation of distinct layers and places.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is prompted by a single phrase embedded in the call for papers – “…the best of all available knowledge…” It would be easy to overlook the significance of this brief extracted fragment by taking for granted we know and understand what is indeed the best in the context of the education of an architect. Within the overall frame-work of the conference such considerations could be seen as offering a relevant dialectical antithesis to the main thesis of the conference. It is important to consider how questions of the ‘best’ in relation to knowledge have come to be seen by some as being of lesser importance in our conversations about education. If we do not strive for what is the best then we may loose an overall sense of telos or purposiveness in our various endeavors. The best is the highest good (both in theory and practice). So the best is at least a double condition rather than a singular condition. In Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics there are no less than three philosophical meanings of the word “best”. First there is best as the Idea of the good (here Idea in a Platonic sense and the good are synonymous), secondly the best as the common good and thirdly the best in a practical sense. There is then a noble best and a practical best.The viability of the conference theme on “The Practice of Teaching and the Teaching of Practice: The Teacher’s Hunch” may actually rely upon establishing a foundation for determining what the best of all available knowledge consists of towards our common pursuits. Here one might propose the word ‘available’ be replaced by the word ‘possible’ so the fragment would now read – the best of all possible knowledge. The distinction between availability and possibility although seemingly minor becomes a crucial one. Availability has to do with use and acquisition in the sense that something or someone is either available or is not available. The notion of availability lacks the gravitas of possibility that can lead to actuality. With the idea of possibility emerges the transcendental question of the freedom for good and evil adjudicated under a form of divine justice. Invoking possibility over availability is an acknowledgment of the perennial importance of the ancient Aristotelian dyad of potency/act in the deeper back-ground of our theories and practices. In a world of crass availabilities, “need is so many bananas”. In what follows the word “knowledge” is understood in Aristotelian sense of the fourfold of causation giving us the possibility to bring forth what we know, what Heidegger poeticized as modes of occasioning – the material, formal, efficient and final causes.

Full textAbstract:
In the short story Novella Greca, in her book: Fior di Passione, 1888, the author M. Serao narrates the true story of Calliope Stavro, the heroine (Calliopi Stavrou in Greek), in Leucade - Santa Maura (Lefkada - Agia Mavra in Greek), an island of the Ionian Sea, in 19th century Greece. At that time, the country was just freed from the Turkish occupation, trying to recover from more than 400 years of slavery and subjugation to the Ottoman Empire. Calliope Stavro represents the woman of her time, imprisoned in the small society of her island, suffocated, asphyxiated, disillusioned and unfulfilled. Thus, she decides to commit suicide not having a way out in her island, which although it is a naturally beautiful place due to its greenery, it is a barren rock �thrown� into the Ionian Sea without any promising future for its inhabitants. Serao realistically exposes the true story of the heroine�s female identity, whose death signifies her suffocation within the patriarchal society of her time. The writer presents the outlets of human existence, the small society of the island, the negative influence of the heroine�s microcosm, which mostly depends on the raisin trade, its production and export, with which almost all the males of the island are preoccupied, since it provided a profitable income in that time. Faced with the crushing reality of her life, the non-existence of love, no romance, male dominance, and indifference, even misogynism, she chooses death, she surrenders to her doomed destiny and the futility of existence, because she is not allowed to live a free life according to her will. Her fatal fall from Lefkata�s cape, where in ancient times there was a temple of god Apollo, god of music, light, and patron of the arts and divination, signifies the death of the gods of Olympus. Their place has been taken by a harsh reality, the revelation of the demands of the human soul, its desires, and its dead ends. Greece will need and still needs a long way to go to find the place it deserves in history, free from patriarchal structures, prejudices, and the impasses that they entail. The story of Calliope Stavro proves in practice the predicament of the female under the patriarchal standards of her era and the unsatisfied desires of the human psyche, which are sacrificed for the sake of survival, most times with unpredictable, unpleasant and unhappy results.

“The other one’s model and the mobility’s culture” represents the interdisciplinary example that every devoted researcher should follow in their work and study, and emphasizes, in reality, the fact that only by opening up our heart and soul to another person and to other cultures and fields, we can discover and rediscover ourselves, before we can truly understand the purpose of our artistic research. Starting from this premise, I’m proposing myself to go thoroughly into a research in sports and art alike, always putting in antithesis those two directions of body movement from Eurhythmics and Ballet, in order to discover the key elements in the most efficient forming and improvement of a professional dancer. After a rigorous selections, I wish to assemble a methodological direction that can guide and support the dancer in his formation, confirmed and reinforced by my own experience, a kind of bibliographical exteriorization, as a gift, but also as a guarantee. But, in order for me to achieve my goal, I know that is not enough. Therefore, “the other one’s model” offers me not only the ambitions, but also the obligation to extend my research internationally, resorting, in the lack of a generous national bibliography, to external sources.

Kvirikadze, Nino. "“Laughter” or “Tears”? (On the question of details in Thomas Mann's “Doctor Faustus”)." In XII Congress of the ICLA. Georgian Comparative Literature Association, 2025. https://doi.org/10.62119/icla.3.8950.
Full textAbstract:
The clarification of the functions of the marginal details is important for complex themes and motifs of Thomas Mann's “Doctor Faustus”. We consider two details – 'laughter' and 'tears' – in the context of the strings of words that run throughout the text space of “Doctor Faustus”. Adrian Leverkühn's “laughing” in its basic meaning points to the loneliness of the individual, to the isolation of man from the rest of the world and to the closedness within himself. “Tears” have been used throughout human history, and particularly in the Christian religion, as a symbol of mourning, repentance, and catharsis. In the novel, the tear detail serves as a counterweight to evil and cruelty, and consequently signifies the victory of good over evil, of the genuinely human over the inhuman, the satanic. In this meaning, the teardrop detail is contrasted with the leitmotif detail “of laughter”. On this basis, one can state that in the text under study there is an antithesis of evil and good, represented in the novel by two leitmotif details: “Laughter” “Tears”. The purpose of this article is to consider these two details from the point of view of their word series in their interaction, to develop points of contact between the named word series and their penetration into each other. We trace the joint movement of the word-row details “laughter” and “tears” throughout the text, infer their meaning in the main character's life, and determine the frequency of their use in the text. We limit ourselves to individual sections in the text. Quantitatively, laughing details dominate very strongly, but towards the end the tearing details already predominate. The crux of the matter is that the string of words ends with a teardrop detail. In summary, it can be said that at the end of the work Adrian Leverkühn is no longer laughing, he is crying. So here is the triumph of good over evil. Adrian Leverkühn moves away from the devil and approaches the God.

Full textAbstract:
Historically speaking, the primary driving force behind vessel layout has come in the form of rules and regulations. In such instances, change has occurred slowly, often in a reactive manner in the wake of accidents. The nature of internal layout that is favourable for operation is often in conflict with that for safety and hence objectives pertaining to each generally lie in antithesis. For this reason, the rate of safety progression has often been slowed due to industry resistance on the grounds that their ability to operate a viable business would be impaired. This, in turn, is indicative of a greater problem relating to the efficiency and variety of existing design changes for risk reduction and control. It would appear that there is an urgent need to start seeking alternative and more effective solutions, rather than continued sole reliance on conventional measures such as watertight subdivision. In order to achieve this aim, one must consider the vessel throughout its entire life-cycle (design, operation, emergency response) and understand the requirements within each stage. This would involve consideration of the constraints and conflicting requirements that each stage brings to the decision-making process in relation to the optimal configuration of the internal ship space. Only then, can one hope to provide solutions capable of achieving this aim. The paper presents a framework to address this imbalance with specific applications on design, operation and emergency response on a large passenger ship.

Full textAbstract:
In The Book of Thel (The Book of ????, that is The Book of the Female), Blake�s main preoccupation, in my opinion focuses on the juxtaposition between the aesthetic and the useful, their antithesis and their synthesis to produce and explain the female identity. Knowing that Blake�s thought always moves in oppositional and synthetical structures, the useful versus the aesthetic is nothing more than the restless and perpetual fight of the dualisms of innocence and experience, energy and Urizen, imagination and reason. Taking into consideration that Blake�s dualisms are constructive rather than destructive, in The Book of Thel, he wonders and oscillates between the aesthetic and the useful. He attributes an indefinite, unclear kind of beauty to Thel, which is a progression of his thought since The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, where he associated the organs of reproduction with beauty, �the genitals Beauty�, the sublime and the beautiful together, that is the head and the genitals, a confirmation that �Man has no Body distinct from his Soul ��. This progression of his thought relates to the formation of what is commonly called beauty (aesthetic value), an ethical feminine development in contradistinction to use value the necessity of survival: �� without a use this shining woman liv�d, / Or did she live. to be at death the food of worms.� Nevertheless, the issue seems problematic. Thel, �the daughter of beauty,� finally is the �� beauty of the vales of Har.� (Har in Greek mythology, that is ????? is the ferryman who carried the dead to the underworld and the etymology of the word Har (X??-??) is an euphemism of the verb ?????, meaning enjoy, take pleasure in), thus signifying quite the opposite; that is the death of the aesthetic possibly in favour of the useful. Thel lives in a world of uselessness, depression, and oblivion. Thus, Blake�s Har and the Greek Har introduce death as Thel�s ultimate refuge. The question is: is Thel after having rejected the (her) use value, a mere aesthetic value belonging to Har? Or her aesthetic value in the real world, the world of experience equals death?

Full textAbstract:
Problem Statement: Job crafting" refers to the psychological and physiological adaptations an employee makes while adhering to the requirements and relationships of his employment. Improving the level of fit between the employee and their job is the aim of these changes. Employees may also self-initiate changes to the job requirements and resources, whether they be increased or decreased, in order to achieve their personal and professional goals and to strike a balance between the job requirements and resources and their unique needs and abilities (Wrzesniewski & Dutton, 2001). Employees generally don't stay at their jobs for the years they spend doing nothing with them; instead, they make small adjustments to improve their happiness at work, even when their professional circumstances prevent them from doing so. Worker modifications typically take place in one or more of the following three domains: social, cognitive, and skill. In terms of Algeria's work environment, do employees engage in job crafting within their respective fields, and are they content with their current jobs? Can job crafting be classified as an ergonomic practice? This is the subject of the research paper.Objective/ Question: This study is centered on the following objectives:1. Assess the level of job crafting by senior staff members.2. Examine the relationship between job crafting and the mental health of senior employees.3. Consider the possibility that job crafting is the antithesis of ergonomics.Additionally, this research aims to respond to the following queries:1. To what extent do senior employees in their different fields practice job crafting?2. How do senior staff members who are implementing job crafting feel about their mental health?3. Can job crafting be categorized as an additional type of ergonomics?Methodology: Researchers employed both survey and correlational methods of the descriptive approach to carry out this investigation. A questionnaire created especially for the study was used to gather research data. Forty-two teachers of elementary schools made up the research sample. There were 21 educators from the first cycle (primary grades 1-3) and 21 educators from the second cycle (primary grades 4-6). The sample's average age was 55.76 years, with a standard deviation of 03.69 years.Results: To what extent do senior employees in their different fields practice job crafting? The findings demonstrated that most people in the general sample said they frequently crafted their work. They stated that they have made the changes they feel are required to advance educational work. Task components, the cognitive components, and the social components were the three areas of adjustment that they concentrated on.How are the senior staff members who are using job crafting doing in terms of mental health? The findings also demonstrated the high degree of mental health among employees who do craft their work. It is noteworthy, to mention that first-cycle educators have been found to have better mental health than second-cycle educators. Does job crafting fall under the category of another type of ergonomics? Ergonomics has been defined as the study and practice of fitting work to people for over fifty years, with the goal of enabling people to work happily and enjoy what they do. This is still the definition that is currently used to describe ergonomics. However, who makes the work human-readable? In this case, the person who adapts the work would likely be an ergonomist or engineer with ergonomic training (Grandjean & Kroemer, 1997). This was the state of affairs for many years. However, the concept of "job crafting", has been aiming to achieve a similar objective as ergonomics: that is tailoring work to the needs of the individual so they can be happy doing it. Ergonomics and job crafting therefore have the same end goal, but different methods to get there. In other words, they disagree on the question of who handles the adaptation process. When it comes to job crafting, the employee customizes the task to fit his or her skills and capabilities (Demerouti, 2014).Discussion: The fact that employees are granted freedom within reasonable bounds is among the most significant developments in the twenty-first century workplace. Because an employee with autonomy can be creative and imaginative. In this particular context, it has been observed that employees in the education sector implement any adjustments they think are necessary to ensure they are as comfortable and happy as possible while working. Teachers' excellent psychological health is one outcome of this change at work. Job crafting is a type of ergonomics since it aims to adjust work to workers.Conclusion:According to this study, senior teachers often craft their jobs to make them more appropriate for them. It also demonstrated the high degree of psychological well-being of teachers who engage in job crafting.

Full textAbstract:
Ganjar Pranowo stands as a pivotal figure within technocratic populism, anticipated to advocate for the people‘s volonté générale and counter the sway of Islamist civilisational populism within Indonesia. The impending 2024 election positions him in a direct contest against Anies Baswedan and Prabowo Subianto, both politicians who garnered support from Islamist populist factions in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial and 2019 presidential elections, respectively. Perceptions of Ganjar’s political stance vary, with some viewing him as a populist figure. However, in essence, he embodies the antithesis of populism, distinct from narratives and rhetoric persistently leveraging Islamism for political gain. This article seeks to delve into Ganjar’s political prospects in the upcoming 2024 election, shedding light on his role in confronting rivals and their supporters entrenched in Islamist populism. While widely seen as the most compelling figure for upholding the continuity of a vibrant democracy, his emergence also sparks inquiries into the trajectory of substantive democratic progress within the nation.

Full textAbstract:
Aeromagnetic and ground gravity data for the Canadian Superior Province, filtered to extract long wavelength components and converted to pseudo-gravity, highlight deep, N-S trending regional-scale, rectilinear faults and margins to discrete, competent mafic or felsic granulite blocks (i.e. at high angles to most regional mapped structures and sub-province boundaries) with little to no surface expression that are spatially associated with lode ('orogenic') Au and Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr occurrences. Statistical and machine learning analysis of the Red Lake-Stormy Lake region in the W Superior Province confirms visual inspection for a greater correlation between Au deposits and these deep N-S structures than with mapped surface to upper crustal, generally E-W trending, faults and shear zones. Porphyry Au, Ni, Mo and U-Th showings are also located above these deep transverse faults. Several well defined concentric circular to elliptical structures identified in the Oxford Stull and Island Lake domains along the S boundary of the N Superior proto-craton, intersected by N- to NNW striking extensional fractures and/or faults that transect the W Superior Province, again with little to no direct surface or upper crustal expression, are spatially associated with magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr and related mineralization and Au occurrences. The McFaulds Lake greenstone belt, aka. 'Ring of Fire', constitutes only a small, crescent-shaped belt within one of these concentric features above which 2736-2733 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions bodies were intruded. The Big Trout Lake igneous complex that hosts Cr-Pt-Pd-Rh mineralization west of the Ring of Fire lies within a smaller concentrically ringed feature at depth and, near the Ontario-Manitoba border, the Lingman Lake Au deposit, numerous Au occurrences and minor Ni showings, are similarly located on concentric structures. Preliminary magnetotelluric (MT) interpretations suggest that these concentric structures appear to also have an expression in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and that lithospheric mantle resistivity features trend N-S as well as E-W. With diameters between ca. 90 km to 185 km, elliptical structures are similar in size and internal geometry to coronae on Venus which geomorphological, radar, and gravity interpretations suggest formed above mantle upwellings. Emplacement of mafic-ultramafic bodies hosting Ni-Cr-PGE mineralization along these ringlike structures at their intersection with coeval deep transverse, ca. N-S faults (viz. phi structures), along with their location along the margin to the N Superior proto-craton, are consistent with secondary mantle upwellings portrayed in numerical models of a mantle plume beneath a craton with a deep lithospheric keel within a regional N-S compressional regime. Early, regional ca. N-S faults in the W Superior were reactivated as dilatational antithetic (secondary Riedel/R') sinistral shears during dextral transpression and as extensional fractures and/or normal faults during N-S shortening. The Kapuskasing structural zone or uplift likely represents Proterozoic reactivation of a similar deep transverse structure. Preservation of discrete faults in the deep crust beneath zones of distributed Neoarchean dextral transcurrent to transpressional shear zones in the present-day upper crust suggests a 'millefeuille' lithospheric strength profile, with competent SCLM, mid- to deep, and upper crustal layers. Mechanically strong deep crustal felsic and mafic granulite layers are attributed to dehydration and melt extraction. Intra-crustal decoupling along a ductile décollement in the W Superior led to the preservation of early-formed deep structures that acted as conduits for magma transport into the overlying crust and focussed hydrothermal fluid flow during regional deformation. Increase in the thickness of semi-brittle layers in the lower crust during regional metamorphism would result in an increase in fracturing and faulting in the lower crust, facilitating hydrothermal and carbonic fluid flow in pathways linking SCLM to the upper crust, a factor explaining the late timing for most orogenic Au. Results provide an important new dataset for regional prospectively mapping, especially with machine learning, and exploration targeting for Au and Ni-Cr-Cu-PGE mineralization. Results also furnish evidence for parautochthonous development of the S Superior Province during plume-related rifting and cannot be explained by conventional subduction and arc-accretion models.
