Does It Pay to Treat Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019? Social Perception of Physicians Treating Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the public has often expressed great appreciation toward medical personnel who were often shown in the media expressing strong emotions about the situation. To examine whether the perception of people on a physician is in fact influenced by whether the physician treats patients with COVID-19 and the emotions they expressed in response to the situation, 454 participants were recruited in May 2020. Participants saw facial expressions of anger, sadness, happiness, and neutrality which supposedly were shown by physicians who were presented as working either in COVID-19 wards or in an internal medicine ward. Participants rated how competent, empathetic, caring, and likable each physician was, to what degree they would wish to be treated by each physician, and what salary each physician deserved. Physicians treating patients with COVID-19 were seen more positively and as deserving higher pay; they appeared more competent, caring, likable, and were more likely to be chosen as a caregiver compared to physicians not treating patients with COVID-19. The expressed emotions of physicians had a strong impact on how they were perceived, yet this effect was largely unrelated to whether they treated patients with COVID-19 or not such that happy physicians seemed more empathetic, caring, and likable than the physicians who showed negative emotions. Positive regard toward physicians treating patients with COVID-19 was associated with the fact that they were seen as saving lives and not due to the risk imposed by their work.

ASSESSING THE SELF-PERCEIVED USE OF READING STRATEGIES IN ESL READING COMPREHENSION: A NEEDS ANALYSIS

Despite great appreciation on the important roles played by metacognitive reading strategies in the attainment of comprehension, heightened prevalence of reading difficulties is depicted among Malaysian learners. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the current status of self-perceived use of metacognitive reading strategies among the ESL learners in six secondary schools in one of the districts in Sabah. Utilizing an adapted version of Revised Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI-R), data was obtained from 274 ESL learners in the same district. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the mean scores of three sub reading strategies, namely global reading strategies, problem-solving strategies and support strategies. The findings revealed that despite being aware of the use of metacognitive reading strategies, little emphasis was given on optimizing the use of global reading and support strategies, resulting in only medium usage of these two strategies. Therefore, it may be concluded that the findings implied the need to develop a reading comprehension module that incorporates the use of metacognitive reading strategies within reading comprehension instruction to facilitate Malaysian ESL learners to improve their reading comprehension.

[THE QUR’ĀNIC CONCEPT OF HUMAN BEING: A THEMATIC STUDY] التصور القرآني للإنسان: دراسة موضوعية

The problem statement of this research is that the Qur’ān has widely discussed the concept of human being in a number of verses, thus, there is an immense need for the Qur’ānic concept of human to be identified and highlighted. This research aims to clarify the concept of human being in the light of the Qur’ān. This study is significant because it identifies and uncovers the concept of human being according to the Holy Qur’ān, which is very essential to develop and qualify the human being to undertake the duties he is assigned with. To reach the objectives of the research, both the inductive and the analytical approaches are used. The findings of the research show that the human concepts of the human nature and his essential essence are incorrect and contradictory. However, the Qur’ānic concept of human being is distinct and unique for the fact that it is divine, given by his creator who definitely knows him very well. The human being in the light of the Qur’ān is known where he comes from, and is distinct in his own creation, he is also a creation that is being highly valued and received great appreciation in the Qurʾān, and given a special status in the universe distinguishes him from all other creations. Yet, this honor and special status make him responsible to fulfill the mission Allah S.W.T. entrusted him with. In addition, he is a free and willing being but responsible, he is also a weak being in himself unless he depends on his Creator. Finally, this research recommends that the human being concept should be determined in the light of the Qur’ān, since it is correct, sound and comprehensive, it also emphasizes to develop an integrated approach to build the human being that takes into account the reality, characteristics and needs of that creature as mentioned in the Qur’ān. تكمن مشكلة البحث في أن حديث القرآن الكريم عن الإنسان من حيث ذاته وخصائصه جاء متفرقا فيالآيات الكريمة؛ فلذلك كان جمع تلك الآيات والخلوص بنظرة القرآن الكريم للإنسان على نحو شامل ومتكاملأمرا ضروريا، ويهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان معالم وملامح التصور القرآني للإنسان. هذا البحث مهم لأنهيتناول الإنسان؛ ماهيته وحقيقته وخصائصه في ضوء النظرة القرآنية المتميزة، ومعرفة الإنسان والإلمام بحقيقتهوماهيته يعتبر غاية في الأهمية إذ لا يمكن القيام بعملية بناء الإنسان وعمارته -ثم تأهيله للقيام بمهمتهالوظيفية- على أسس سليمة إلا بمعرفته المعرفة الحقة والتي لا يمكن إيجادها خارج الإطار القرآني، وللوصولإلى أهداف البحث اعتمد الباحث المنهج الاستقرائي لتتبع وجمع الآيات التي تحدثت عن الإنسان وخصائصهوماهيته، مع الرجوع إلى المصادر التفسيرية القديمة والحديثة التي تطرقت إلى هذا الموضوع، وإضافة إلى ذلك،اعتمد الباحث المنهج التحليلي لتحليل النصوص القرآنية لاستنباط نظرة القرآن الكريم للإنسان من حيثماهيته وخصائصه. ومن أهم النتائج التي توصل إليها البحث: أن التصورات البشرية للإنسان تتميز بالقصوروالتناقض بين تصور يحط من قيمة الإنسان وآخر يرفعه إلى مقام الألوهية، وأن الرؤية القرآنية للإنسان متميزةوفريدة من نوعها لأنها من عند الله تعالى خالق هذا الإنسان فهو -وحده- الأعلم به، فالإنسان في التصورالقرآني معلوم الأصل والمصدر، متميز في ذاته وخلقه وتركيبته، وهو مخلوق مكرم نال تقديرا وحفاوة كبيرين فيالخطاب القرآني، وله منزلة خاصة في الكون تميزه عن سائر الموجودات، حيث سخر له جميع ما في الأرضلينتفع به، وهذا التكريم وهذه الحفاوة ليسا لذات الإنسان وإنما للمهمة الشريفة التي أنيطت به، والدور الجللالذي كلف بأدائه وهو خلافة الله في أرضه؛ فهو شُ رِّفَ لأنه كُل فَ. وهو كائن حر وذو إرادة ولكنه مسؤول،كما أنه كائن ضعيف في ذاته ما لم يعتمد على خالقه. ومن أبرز توصيات البحث: ضرورة تحديد التصورللإنسان في ضوء القرآن الكريم لأنه الصحيح والسليم، ليتم -وفق هذا التصور- وضع منهج متكامل لبناءالإنسان يراعي حقيقته وخصائصه وحاجياته.

OS DIREITOS ECONÔMICOS DOS ATLETAS PROFISSIONAIS DE FUTEBOL

RESUMOO Brasil é considerado referência mundial na prática do futebol, tendo como consequência uma grande valorização dos clubes e atletas que protagonizam o esporte. Gestão e profissionalização são destaques no meio desportivo, em consequência dos altos investimentos. O futebol acompanhou a evolução histórica brasileira, tendo mais autonomia com o passar dos anos. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho é examinar o conceito de direitos econômicos nos contratos especiais de trabalho desportivo e verificar as hipóteses em que o referido tema produz efeitos no campo jurídico com a cláusula indenizatória e compensatória. A pesquisa possui caráter explicativo e exploratório. A estrutura jurídica que envolve os clubes e atletas é importante, pois os direitos econômicos são considerados um ativo financeiro, haja vista que as transferências envolvendo os jogadores de futebol geram receitas que garantem o sustento dos clubes ao longo da temporada. O resultado obtido nesta pesquisa é de que a alteração promovida pela Lei nº 12.395/11 findou com uma divergência doutrinária e jurisprudencial que havia acerca do entendimento da antiga redação do artigo 28 da Lei Pelé, já que a aplicação da cláusula penal desportiva era unilateral ou bilateral, ou seja, podendo ser devida tanto ao clube como ao atleta. Assim, o novo texto legal institucionalizou os direitos econômicos do atleta profissional de futebol ao clube com quem ele possui vínculo empregatício ativo e, ao mesmo tempo, protege o atleta profissional garantindo-lhe por meio de mecanismos administrativos e constitucionais o princípio da dignidade humana na relação contratual com os clubes de futebol.Palavras-chave: Direito Desportivo. Direitos Econômicos. Futebol. ABSTRACTBrazil is considered a world reference in the practice of soccer, resulting in a great appreciation of the clubs and athletes that play the sport. Management and professionalism are highlights in the sports environment, as a result of high investments. Soccer followed the Brazilian historical evolution, having more autonomy over the years. Thus, the objective of the study is to examine the concept of economic rights in special sports contracts and to verify the hypotheses in which this topic has effects in the legal field with the compensatory and indemnity clause. The research has explanatory and exploratory character. The legal framework involving clubs and athletes is important because economic rights are considered a financial asset, since transfers involving soccer players generate revenues that ensure the livelihood of clubs throughout the season. The result obtained in this research is that the amendment promoted by Law No. 12,395/11 ended with a doctrinal and jurisprudential divergence regarding the understanding of the old wording of article 28 of the Pelé Law and if the application of the sporting penal clause was unilateral or bilateral, that is, it may be due to both the club and the athlete. Thus, the new legal text institutionalized the economic rights of the professional soccer athlete to the club with whom he has an active employment relationship and, at the same time, protects the professional athlete by ensuring, through administrative and constitutional mechanisms, the principle of human dignity in contractual relationship with soccer clubs.Keywords: Sports Law.
