Employee Ownership or How to Anticipate Financial Crises Within a Company

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned the world of work upside down. It is having a dramatic effect on the employment, livelihoods, and well-being of workers and their families, as well as on businesses around the world, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. It started in China at the end of 2019, with that country's economy mainly the first to be affected. The global economy was then impacted as the virus spread. It is a bit early to estimate precisely the extent of the economic crisis on a company, but it is already certain that it is more brutal than before. Companies that have opened their capital to their employees are more likely to keep their employees than other companies that offer a significantly higher level of security to their employees (maintenance of working hours and compensation). What practical economic logic will be found in the company once employee ownership is applied? Would it be an effective way to overcome the various situations of discontent and anxiety among employees, where these feelings are already very strong?

State Fiscal Policy Practice

America’s individualistic national identity and regressive tax systems that favor corporations and the wealthy over everyday people have increasingly exacerbated inequality. Meanwhile, social welfare needs continue to outpace the resources governments employ to address them. While fiscal issues can be complex and opaque, holding governments accountable is imperative to counter long-standing oppression of those identifying as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), women, immigrants, and others. How state governments, in particular, raise and expend revenue has a dramatic effect on the public, especially as the federal government continues to decentralize social welfare to the states. Social workers are uniquely equipped to influence this arena, given their person-in-environment view and having borne witness to the numerous ways misguided priorities have severely harmed those they are called to serve.

Significant results are found on symptoms like Swinngatrta (body sweating), Sharm (fatigue) Pandutav (anaemia) etc. This drug also showed a dramatic effect on, sperm motility, Viability, Erection and Ejaculation.

Choosing the Root of the Tree Decomposition When Solving WCSPs: Preliminary Results

In this paper we analyze the effect of selecting the root in a tree decomposition when using decomposition-based backtracking algorithms. We focus on optimization tasks for Graphical Models using the BTD algorithm. We show that the choice of the root typically has a dramatic effect in the solving performance. Then we investigate different simple measures to predict near optimal roots. Our study shows that correlations are often low, so the automatic selection of a near optimal root will require more sophisticated techniques.

Chivalry and Knighthood in the Past and Present; Contrasting “Gawain” and Fire Emblem Three Houses

In my paper, I delve into the socio-political dimensions of knighthood and chivalry during the medieval era of Europe through a comparison between the Medieval English poem, “Gawain and the Green Knight,” and the video game, Fire Emblem Three Houses, published in 2019 by Nintendo. Within both texts, I explore chivalry and knighthood as a specific social code and institution of power, both of which are complex constructs beneath its veneer of idealism and romanticism. More prominently however, I discuss the interplay between chivalry as a system of power and one’s humanity. I argue that Three Houses compellingly demonstrates this dynamic through its characters and their interactions together, and shines a light on the reality of individuals beholden to institutional power. Although contemporary narratives may tend to misconstrue the past for dramatic effect, I believe there is value in examining them because they may conversely reveal previously overlooked aspects of historical concepts due to the biases and values of the period.

Modernism, Inflation and the Gold Standard in T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound

The great inflation of the 1920s had a dramatic effect on Anglophone literary modernism. Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway all recognized that financial signs had come unmoored from any objective reference, and their work explores the literary implications of representation's newly autonomous, performative power. Pound blamed the economic and cultural crisis on ‘usury.’ Following Aristotle, he conceived of usury as the unnatural reproduction of autonomous representation, and thus as the antithesis of natural sexual and semiotic fertility. He particularly deplored the historical role played by Samuel Loyd, the Victorian head of Lloyds Bank, who had cunningly manipulated the gold standard in order to give control of the economy to ‘usurers.’ In his financial journalism for Lloyds Bank Monthly, Eliot used the gold standard as an economic logos in order to facilitate usury. Pound saw that Eliot's theory of the ‘objective correlative’ was incompatible with the referential model of representation assumed by the gold standard.

REPRESENTASI KUASA RAMALAN: PANGERAN DIPENOGORO DAN AKHIR TATANAN LAMA DI JAWA 1785-1855 KARYA PETER CAREY DALAM AKU DIPENOGORO! OLEH LANDUNG SIMATUPANG

Literary works are never separated from previous works or other texts. “Aku Dipenogoro!” is a literary work in the form of a drama script written by Landung Simatupang which was inspired by the power of divination by Peter Carey. The process of forming a literary work based on the acceptance of the past works can be said to be a reception. Therefore, this study used a reception approach to see how far the acceptance of previous works in Aku Dipenogoro!. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. In this case, the researcher compares the texts by looking at the similarities and differences. Furthermore, the findings are described. Based on the results of the analysis conducted by Aku Dipenogoro! as a literary work made several changes from the previous work (Peter Carey's Power of Prediction). These changes are used to give a dramatic effect in the work. Improvisation is used to get certain effects and aesthetics in a work. As a drama script Aku Dipenogoro! refers to dramatic effects in the performing arts (theater).

Conclusion

News about the war and its outcome percolated into the surrounding world, with dramatic effect in the Far East and Arabia. Explanations for Persian success and Roman resilience in the first two phases are not hard to find (in the spheres of material and ideological resources), but the sudden reversal of fortunes in the 620s is more problematic. Persian overstretch and war-weariness, brought to a head when the Turks intervened in the north, were a key factor, but greater weight should probably be placed on the generalship of Heraclius and the military qualities of his highly trained troops. As for the effects of the war, neither of the great powers was so debilitated as to become easy prey for the rising power of Islam. Hard-fought set-piece battles were needed to bring about the destruction of the one and the amputation of the Levant and Egypt from the other.

Blended Learning to Improve University Students’ Language Skills in the Iraqi Context

This study investigated the effect of a blended learning approach (BLA) on the main English language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) when learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Iraq. In order to reveal the effectiveness of the approach, an experiment was carried out involving 40 participants who were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group was taught using a BLA whereas the control group was instructed with a traditional approach to teach English. The experiment was conducted during a semester (three months) in which two classes of English were taught every week. According to the results of the study, the BLA had a dramatic effect on improving the main skills of the EFL participants
