Labor market insertion of professional Venezuelan immigrants in northern Chile: precariousness and discrimination in the light of migration policy

This article describes the labor market insertion experiences of a group of professional Venezuelan immigrants in northern Chile. Using a qualitative methodology, fourteen people who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed. The participants' discourses show that their experiences have been stressful because they have not been able to revalidate their degrees, have to take on jobs for which they are overqualified, and suffer exploitation and discrimination. The stories are analyzed based on previous studies and related theory, finding that the main factor affecting this reality is the current Chilean immigration legislation, which has an orientation based on control and national security. It is concluded that the current immigration legislation facilitates immigrants' labor precariousness and contributes to their situation of vulnerability.

Ngas Concept of Tuput: Reincarnation or Resurrection?

In this article, we interrogate the concept of tuput (“to die and come out”) and the subsequent equation of it with reincarnation by the Ngas people of Plateau State in Nigeria, wherein it is claimed that persons who have undergone the ritual processes of tuput-enablement reincarnate within 2 days of their death, not by way of rebirth through conception and delivery but by just mysteriously reappearing in their full former selves and then resuming their normal life as though they never died. This claim raises a stir in us. In exploring the tuput phenomenon, we interviewed some indigenes of the Ngas community concerning the phenomenon. Thereafter, we situated the claims about tuput within the framework of existing theories of reincarnation and juxtaposed them with resurrection—another related theory of afterlife. Our findings reveal among other things that (a) although tuput is a theory of afterlife, it is not reincarnation. Tuput comes closer to the theory of resurrection as a theory of afterlife; (b) belief in tuput is unreflective and its associated claims are laden with internal contradictions; and (c) although tuput suffers the defects listed in (b), it nevertheless has some underlying values and promises that could be harnessed to enrich human knowledge and expand the scope of existing literature, if investigated further.

The Silencing of Student Movement Against The Egyptian Pro-Capitalism Government in Radwa Ashour's Novel Faraj

<p>This research is studying about novel <em>Faraj</em>. The novel contains an overview of the silencing the student movement’s resistance during the capitalist government.

The Egyptian students begin, intensively, to discuss these issues, write numerous articles about resistance and criticism of the government, and perform various protests in Cairo. The method of data collecting data in this research consist of two phases, determines the research object and restriction on research problems that focused on an overview of events related to silencing the student movement. The method of data processing consists of determining the relevant theory to answer the problem, searching for references that support the research topic, analyzing the data in accordance with the related theory. The Result of this research indicates the silencing carried out against the anti-capitalist student movement in Egypt. The silencing was conducted through the destruction of the wall magazine, which publish numerous articles about resistance and criticism of the government, arrest, and torture.

2 The Origins and Sources of Jus Cogens

This chapter traces the origins and sources of jus cogens. Jus cogens has been developed largely by international legal scholarship, which has attempted to identify the theoretical foundations of a world juridical order. Every classic author in the field of international law expounds a theory of the source of obligation and the nature of international law. They typically distinguish between voluntary or consensual law and compulsory norms that bind a state independently of its will. Some early writers found the source of compulsory law in divine or religious law binding all humans and human institutions. A related theory derives the concept of jus cogens from general principles of law, noting the existence of overriding public policy and superior norms in all legal systems. Finally, positivists rely on state consent for the origin, content, and functions of jus cogens.

The algebra of anomaly interplay

We give a general description of the interplay that can occur between local and global anomalies, in terms of (co)bordism. Mathematically, such an interplay is encoded in the non-canonical splitting of short exact sequences known to classify invertible field theories. We study various examples of the phenomenon in 2, 4, and 6 dimensions. We also describe how this understanding of anomaly interplay provides a rigorous bordism-based version of an old method for calculating global anomalies (starting from local anomalies in a related theory) due to Elitzur and Nair.

Corpus-Based Analysis of the Most Frequent Adjective on Covid-19

This study aims to investigate the type of adjectives in the most frequent adjectives and also the use of the adjective functions on academic writing about COVID-19. This study was conducted by using a corpus tool named sketchengine. The method of this study was a mixed-method by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The source of the data was corpus about COVID-19 academic writing due to the fact that COVID-19 has been the trending topic around the globe and also became an international concern. There were several data collection steps; those were first, knowing the most frequent adjective in the COVID-19 corpus by choosing a wordlist. Second, the data were taken 20 the most frequent adjectives used in COVID-19 corpus because 20 data have already represented the most frequent adjectives. Third, it chose the concordance to comprehend the function of the adjective in the COVID-19 corpus. Fourth, 20 the most frequent adjectives were inputted one at a time on concordance.

The Influence of Instagram Social Media Against Traveling Interest

This study aims to discuss the influence of Instagram social media on traveling interest using the theory of interest in visiting Philip Kotler, et al., (2006: 198) in Marketing for Hospitality and Tourism assumes that buying interest in consumers can be equated with interest in visiting tourists. This can be seen in the same behavior. There is no related theory regarding interest and decision to visit, but in accordance with Kotler's theory, et al., That visiting interest is included with purchase interest measured by the same indicator. Data is collected by distributing questionnaires to respondents. The data analysis that we use is a simple linear regression. The results showed that the Instagram Traveling Social Media variable had a significant effect on Visiting Interest (Y) followers to a destination). It is known that the beta coefficient of this analysis is 73.1% and 16.9% is influenced by other variables not included in this study. Instagram Social Media Variable Indicator which is dominant influence is the hashtag indicator with a mean value of 4.28 and the item that dominates the hashtag indicator is the Instagram Traveling account that gives messages using a hashtag that can be used to disseminate photos so that followers can easily find them. While the indicator on the Traveling Interest Variable that has a dominant influence is transactional interest with a mean value of 3.97 that respondents are interested in visiting a place to take photos and are interested in the uniqueness of the tourist attractions.

Art Gallery Visitors’ Motivations

The article discusses the motivational factors of visual art institution consumers. Analysis includes Falk’s identity-related theory of motivation for visiting art institutions that discusses how visitors’ experience begins before visiting a museum and is focused on the consumer’s attitude (identity) validation.
