AbstractThis Chapter investigates an extraordinary group of company agents who have often been overlooked, but were ubiquitous in overseas corporate life; the chaplain. It provides a detailed assessment of the daily lives and responsibilities of chaplains. Moreover, it traces how they became important figures of control who policed over the spiritual and earthly lives of personnel in religiously and governmentally diverse environments of India, the Levant and Japan. This chapter examines how corporate chaplains, such as Edward Terry, Edward Pococke and Patrick Copeland, became instrumental figures in establishing corporate authority, and thereby commercial success, in this period. Furthermore, it reveals, through their published works, such as Terry’s, A Voyage to East-India, Lord’s, A display of two forraigne sects and the letters and works of Pococke, the essential role chaplains played in the corporate exchange of ideas and religious knowledge overseas. Finally, this chapter highlights how, throughout much of its existence, the LC and, for a small period, the EIC’s government, helped to inform the flexible process of how companies established corporate governance abroad and how they interacted with peoples, faiths and cultures.

Accountants, and especially auditors, play an essential role in financial reporting of public and private firms. Stakeholders of companies in frontier markets rely on financial reports to assist with uncertainty avoidance. Yet, the rules of the game are evolving and not well known. If firms, financial institutions and individuals are to invest and commit resources within frontier nations, there has to be confidence in the accuracy of financial information. The research ideas generated herein fuse early work on corporate governance with more recent research from a variety of emerging market scholars to develop an agenda for accounting and governance research in frontier markets. It is our belief that the accounting profession will have to take a lead role in creating the standards needed to deal with issues unique to frontier nations and to create the transparency necessary to help stakeholders evaluate risk.

Aruh religion is a system of ideas for Loksado people to work on the environment and give meaning to all activities in daily life. Religious knowledge is transformed from generation to generation through oral traditions which are considered sacred literature. A number of myths found in Aruh religious teachings underlie various religious actions such as in rice harvest rituals, rites of passage, healing rituals (babalian) and also social, economic and political actions in their daily lives. The development of a system of oral teachings among local people such as the Loksado people can be associated with the concept of symbolism in anthropology. Humans are symbolic creatures (animal symbolicum), that symbolic thinking and symbolic behavior are human characteristics . Various hopes, dreams, and thoughts that are sometimes difficult to accept by the human mind itself, manifested in various actions and symbolic works. Among the forms of symbolization carried out by humans are myths. As a symbolic expression, myths can almost be found in various cultural symptoms in all societies.

The impetuosity of the Sars-Covid 2 infection has been remarkable, quickly upsetting the habits of individuals in every seat of the planet. We can observe, on the one hand, the individuals, lost and called to redefine every area of their daily lives. On the other, the institutions that, seizing this loss, have been called to play their essential role of creating and strengthening social bonds. The Catholic Church has promoted respect for the norms, without renouncing a “religious offer” which seems to have responded to an effective demand for accompaniment with a lot of possibility to chose on line liturgical celebrations, with a multiplicity of forms and possibilities of access. Among the various options possible, it was decided to focus attention on a specific case: the case of the fraternity “Amici di Gesù Buon Pastore” (AGBP), which has experienced a significant increase in its followers in the days of lockdown. In particular, we will ask ourselves what so many spiritual-followers have been looking for and if (and how) this interest, born during the quarantine period, can transform the new forms of religious belonging into a context where the historical religions seem to be unattractive if compared to the many alternatives of spirituality present on the “market”.

Mechanization is one of the moving subjects encompassing the assembling business in the 21st century. In addition to the fact that it helps producers stay aware of developing worldwide interest, it sets out new positions open doors just as help makers progress into the 21st century. This project requires the Arduino Uno, engine driver, and Bluetooth module. The Arduino Uno is an open-source prototyping platform with simple hardware and programming. The ATmega328 microcontroller is used in the Arduino Uno. Advanced mechanics has become increasingly important in our daily lives and the design sector, and it plays an essential role in the advancement of new technology. Arduino has replaced the traditional micro regulator, and IR sensors have been replaced by a Bluetooth module in this uncomplicated and primary type of controlling the vehicle. Any android or iOS cell can be used as the faraway. With the headway of innovation, robots are standing out enough to be noticed by scientists to make the life of humanity agreeable. Here we examine the plan of the model of Automatic Classroom cleaning Robot. The robot works self-inside a restricted space (for this situation, study hall) and require human mediation to move it from one class to the next. By utilizing fog-making measures, it cleans the encompassing. The robot is intended to supplant human endeavors with mechanization and can be a revolutionary innovation whenever made reasonable.
