Event management education has emerged as an alternative to the related disciplines of business, tourism, and hospitality. Numerous courses offered in the area of event management have raised questions on the employability of graduates in requiring the students to be employed in the industry. This article explores a study offering a multifaceted perspective on the requisite skills and abilities students perceive to be associated with event management employment. By employing students’ experiences and perspectives over the individual leadership and soft skills. This study employed 64 structured questionnaires and students’ individual reflections. Based on the findings, the respondents agreed that positive feedback on teamwork and communication skills, project management, ability to perform and personal attitudes are significant in organizing an event. For soft skills, the study found that communication, teamwork, creative thinking, time management, event management, and management are the skills needed to be improved in the future.

The relevance of this problem is determined by the need for developing soft skills in modern youth, which include communication, teamwork, leadership, logical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, time management, etc. Their formation in secondary school becomes possible in the process of mathematical problems solving in the game format during extracurricular activities. To confirm the state mentioned, we conducted the study using the following methods: generalization, analysis, and systematization of psychology-pedagogical sources on the topic mentioned; survey (respondents – 32 schoolchildren of the 9th grade); pedagogical conversation; prediction. The analysis of the research results made it possible to note that communication, logical thinking and time management became the most foreground soft skills for schoolchildren, which they use in the process of vital activity. Among the most demanded soft skills in conducting mathematics lessons, the respondents emphasized logical thinking, time management, emotional intelligence. Secondary education seekers referred communication, interaction/teamwork skills, creative thinking, leadership, emotional intelligence to the number of most significant soft skills that are necessary for the implementation of extracurricular activities. Among soft skills, which are directly involved in the process of conducting educational activity in mathematics in the game format, the respondents pointed out teamwork, communication, logical and creative thinking, time management, emotional intelligence, leadership. To the number of pedagogical forms, with the help of which the process of formation of soft skills in the educational process, particularly while learning mathematical disciplines, takes place, the majority of schoolchildren referred the club of cheerful and inventive ones, quizzes on the subject, brain-rings. Schoolchildren see the process of soft skills development out of school in using online games, participating in the work of clubs in various educational institutions, attending trainings and speaking clubs. We see the perspectives for the further research in this direction in determining the ways of formation of the skills mentioned in schoolchildren, in the system of lesson activities in conditions of online education.

The present study examined how online faculty members structure their workspace in their homes and how their work situation affects their home environment. The case study’s goal, guided by an extension of Vischer's user-centered model of the work environment, was to address this research gap through interviews and using PhotoVoice, a technique in which participants take photos and are interviewed about them. Eighteen faculty members from a large online university were recruited through ads in the faculty newsletter. The inclusion criterion was that the individual must only work online. Interested individuals completed an email interview and emailed a photo of the area they considered <em>work</em>. Each participant was interviewed about his or her responses and photos for 15–20 min on the telephone. Many participants consciously separated their home and workplace through either utilizing a separate room/area or maintaining a work schedule that separated work and home through time management. However, the technology required for conducting their work (e.g., computer, printer, etc.) also played a strong role in the choice of maintaining a separate workspace; especially for full-time faculty. The use of PhotoVoice offered insights into how participants perceived and thought about their workspace. Of concern, for some faculty members was the surroundings within their defined workspace; having their books available and a beautiful view from their window were mentioned.

John Rae, a Scottish antiquarian collector and spirit merchant, played a highly prominent role in the local natural history societies and exhibitions of nineteenth-century Aberdeen. While he modestly described his collection of archaeological lithics and other artefacts, principally drawn from Aberdeenshire but including some items from as far afield as the United States, as a mere ‘routh o’ auld nick-nackets' (abundance of old knick-knacks), a contemporary singled it out as ‘the best known in private hands' (Daily Free Press 4/5/91). After Rae's death, Glasgow Museums, National Museums Scotland, the University of Aberdeen Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, as well as numerous individual private collectors, purchased items from the collection. Making use of historical and archive materials to explore the individual biography of Rae and his collection, this article examines how Rae's collecting and other antiquarian activities represent and mirror wider developments in both the ‘amateur’ antiquarianism carried out by Rae and his fellow collectors for reasons of self-improvement and moral education, and the ‘professional’ antiquarianism of the museums which purchased his artefacts. Considered in its wider nineteenth-century context, this is a representative case study of the early development of archaeology in the wider intellectual, scientific and social context of the era.

Linguistic Approach

This paper demonstrates how a range of linguistic methods can be harnessed in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the ‘lived experience’ of psychological disorders. It argues that such methods should be applied more in medical contexts, especially in medical humanities. Key extracts from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath are examined, as a case study of the experience of depression. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative linguistic methods, and inter- and intra-textual comparisons are used to consider distinctive patterns in the use of metaphor, personal pronouns and (the semantics of) verbs, as well as other relevant aspects of language. Qualitative techniques provide in-depth insights, while quantitative corpus methods make the analyses more robust and ensure the breadth necessary to gain insights into the individual experience. Depression emerges as a highly complex and sometimes potentially contradictory experience for Plath, involving both a sense of apathy and inner turmoil. It involves a sense of a split self, trapped in a state that one cannot overcome, and intense self-focus, a turning in on oneself and a view of the world that is both more negative and more polarized than the norm. It is argued that a linguistic approach is useful beyond this specific case.

This article contributes to ongoing debates about soft skills among students. In 2017, the unemployment rate in Malaysia was at 3.42 percent as compared to 2.85 percent in 2014. Education system must aim towards employability and ensure quality in education to reduce the percentage of unemployment. Thus, this study aims to investigate the development of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities in UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. The sample were 113 students from UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. Questionnaires adapted from previous research to measure the communication skill, problem solving skill, team building skill, leadership skill and soft development of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities. SEM-PLS 3.0 were employed in this study. The findings revealed only team building skill has significant influence on developments of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities. However, the study indicates that communication skill, problem solving skill and leadership skill are not significant towards development of soft skills among students through cocurriculum activities.
