Reel Bad Arabs movie indicated that the 9/11 attacks provided a basis for bipolarizing the Western and theMuslims worlds. As a result, a lot of misconceptions of the Muslim world presented in the media embodya rigid concept, comparing and contrasting Western and Islamic/Arabic values in which Western values arefavored after the 9/11 attack. Grounded in Reel Bad Arabs and several studies of print media about Islamrepresentations, this paper examined the concepts of Islamophobia focusing on stereotypes of Islam and Arabwomen as well as the relationship of modernity, capitalism, and Islam as they are perceived by the Muslimworld. Employing the agenda-setting theory and basic concepts of Islamophobia, this paper analyzed theselected texts in-depth qualitatively. Correspondingly, previous researches were used to expand the accountof the relationship between Islam and the Western media. The analysis claimed that selected print and visualmedia depict Islam unfavorably leading to a misconception of Islam in the Western world. In fact, stereotypesof Islam proved to be more salient as promoted by the Western media. However, the Muslim media attemptedto challenge this by producing several media products such as Kalam Nawaem to show a more “balanced”Islam.Keywords: Stereotypes, media, Muslim, Islamophobia, IslamDOI: 10.24198/jkk.vol2n2.5

AbstractThis article considers the relationship of international law and the media through the prism of human rights. In the first section the international regulation of the media is examined and visions of good, bad, and new media emerge. In the second section, the enquiry is reversed and the article explores the ways in which the media is shaping international legal forms and processes in the field of human rights. This is termed the ‘mediatization of international law’. Yet despite hopes for new media and the Internet to transform international law, the theoretical work of Jodi Dean warns of the danger to democracy of commodification through the spread of ‘communicative capitalism’.

This study presents a model linking individual characteristics, employee engagement, and employee performance. The primary objective was to investigate the direct effect of individual characteristics on employee performance and its indirect effect through employee engagement. This study used a non-probability sampling technique with a saturation sampling type. The data were obtained by a questionnaire from a sample of 118 respondents of millennial employees in the media and information technologies sector in Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed by used variance-based SEM (SEM-PLS) and found four significant paths models. The result reveals that individual characteristics have a positive and significant effect on improving employee performance. Moreover, individual characteristics are significantly positive in increasing employee engagement, while employee engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The mediation test result indicated that employee engagement could partially mediate the relationship of individual characteristics on employee performance. Further research can incorporate variables that influence millennial performance, such as job characteristics, intention to leave, job satisfaction, and other variables to improve strategies in enhancing millennial performance.

The authors consider identity as a conditional discursive construct, the result of subjects of discourse identifications and offer their own methodology for its analysis. It is shown that regional identity can be represented in the form of a model based on spatial and temporal identifications that specify the coordinate system of reality in which there are residents of the region in question. The concept of space-time is complemented by a set of diverse thematic identifications, including economic, political, cultural, ethnic, religious, linguistic, etc. For the first time in the framework of the socio-constructionist paradigm, a discursive model of the regional identity of the inhabitants of Tatarstan is constructed in the article. The empirical material of the study is the corpus of texts of Tatarstan media for 2017-2019. It is shown that the spatial identification of Tatarstan people includes the practice of selecting, nominating and describing significant geographical objects, the practice of constructing relations of Tatarstan with other geographical objects. Particular attention is paid to the practice of constructing the capital status of a regional center, as well as the relationship of spatial and political identifications. Analyzing the practices of ethnic, religious, linguistic and cultural identification, the authors come to the conclusion that the identity of the Tatarstan people is ethnocentric: despite the declared multinationality and multi-confessionality of the region, Tatars as an ethnic group, Tatar language, Tatar culture and Islam as a traditional religion of the Tatars are of particular importance.

Chapter Six provides an extended examination of the newspaper reporting of the treason trial of Obafemi Awolowo, the second major treason trial after independence. How the Nigerian press covered the trial illuminates the ways in which legal process as a mode of nation formation was woven into the daily lives of newspaper readers. Moreover, attending to that press coverage illustrates the importance of narrative and literary form in the process of national self-construction. The chapter begins by outlining the relationship of politics and the press in Nigeria before looking at the defining features of the trial itself. The chapter examines how the trial was presented in the press and the readerly engagement that the press sought to foster. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the larger significance of the trial and its coverage in the media at the dawn of Nigeria’s first Republic.

Cotton Strip

The cotton strip assay uses the loss of tensile strength of cotton strips as a measure of microbial cellulolytic activity. Its suitability for measuring general microbial activity in groundwater was tested by examining the relationship of tensile strength, abundance of cellulolytic organisms and general microbial activity on cotton strips deployed in bores. The hypothesis was that the strength of cotton strips would decline with increasing abundance and activity of cellulolytic organisms, and as cellulolysis makes resources available to other microbial groups, cotton strength loss should also be related to increased overall microbial activity. The correlation between the abundance of cellulolytic organisms and cotton strength was not significant. Two main factors influenced this relationship: (i) effectiveness of the media in detecting cellulolytic moulds and (ii) inter-community interactions. After accounting for the presence of moulds through partial correlation, the relationship between tensile strength and abundance of cellulolytic organisms was stronger and significant. Both cotton strength and abundance of cellulolytic organisms correlated significantly with general microbial activity. These results support the use of the cotton strip assay, and cotton tensile strength as a surrogate for microbial activity in groundwater.

O termo analfabetismo ambiental surgiu na conferência RIO-92 após destacarem a necessidade da implementação de um modelo sustentável que determinasse a relação das pessoas com os problemas ambientais, a fim de formar cidadãos comprometidos com as questões socioambientais. Neste contexto, a pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o analfabetismo ambiental acerca da percepção dos docentes e discentes do Ensino Médio no município de Guaraí-TO, buscando identificar esse possível analfabetismo. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho foram utilizados recursos que auxiliassem nos levantamentos de dados, possibilitando uma visão mais clara desse analfabetismo por parte de professores e alunos. Através do uso de questionário e observações com o intuito de descrever as características dos entrevistados, foi possível perceber entre os professores uma visão predominantemente globalizada, ressaltando a relação homem-natureza e entre os alunos prevaleceu uma visão antropocêntrica, evidenciando a natureza como fonte de recursos para a sobrevivência humana. Foi possível perceber que os estudantes e profissionais da educação conhecem os conceitos básicos de ambiente, mas não possuem uma noção clara e objetiva de sua real dimensão, evidenciando o egocentrismo. Com essa análise, será possível traçar estratégias e realizar trabalhos de educação ambiental que possam contribuir para que esta comunidade escolar consiga facilmente compreender a complexidade do tema e as possíveis consequências da degradação ambiental e sociocultural nos dias atuais. Environmental illiteracy: the perception of teachers and students about the environment of a school in the municipality of Guaraí-TO The term environmental illiteracy emerged at the RIO-92 conference after highlighting the need to implement a sustainable model that determines the relationship of people to environmental problems in order to train citizens committed to social and environmental issues. In this context, the research aimed to analyze environmental illiteracy about the perception of teachers and high school students in the municipality of Guaraí-TO, seeking to identify this possible illiteracy. For the development of this work, resources were used to assist in data collection, allowing a clearer view of this possible illiteracy by teachers and students. Through the use of a questionnaire and observations to describe the characteristics of the interviewees, it was possible to perceive among the teachers a predominantly globalized view, emphasizing the relation between man and nature and among the students anthropocentric vision prevailed, evidencing nature as a source of resources for human survival. It was possible to perceive that the students and professionals of the education know the basic concepts of environment, but do not have a clear and objective notion of its real dimension. With this analysis, it will be possible to draw up strategies and carry out environmental education works that can contribute to this school community being able to easily understand the complexity of the theme and the possible consequences of environmental and sociocultural degradation. Key words: Environmental Perception, Illiteracy, Environment and Environmental Education.

"The architectural studies in general dealt with the study of several concepts that have an important role in the design part as well as providing preparation and support of its requirements, procedures, and rules for a variety of aspects and details. The current research directed towards a specified study of the relationship of two influential concepts within the frame-work of architectural design. These concepts are; the method and its relationship to the state of intellectual repercussion with the necessity of introducing, clarifying and defining the general knowledge frameworks for the nature of those rela-tions and the effect of the indicators of that situation with respect to the general knowledge about them. This research is Directed to define the general frameworks of the basic research concepts, which are both the method and the repercussion with other concepts that are influential, design, thought or thinking, to determine the cases of interconnec-tion between them and then to refer these cases to several levels, and to propose the models adopted from the studies and architectural proposals, which will determine the indicators needed to define the situation The correlation between the basic concepts of research (method and repercussion) within the framework of the field of architecture to show that the final out-come refers to the adoption of the repercussion as an instrument or preparation for the benefit of the method within the ar-chitectural design"
