Abstract

This study is aimed to describe dance's effect and its different forms on mental health. The respondents of this study are students taking Bachelor of Performing Arts at City College of Angeles. The Mental Effect of Dance Questionnaire was utilized to gather data through an online survey. The said questionnaire has undergone pilot testing α =.975 and .946, which confirms that the instrument can be utilized. Descriptive analyses were used to describe the effects of dance and its different forms on mental health. Independent T-Test Analysis, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis H analyses were utilized to determine the difference between groups in the cognitive effect of the dance and its genre regarding gender and year level. After data were obtained from 83 students, the results showed that dance positively affects their mental health. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between groups regarding gender and year level regarding the mental effect of the dance and its genres. Results found that most BPeA students answered that dance has a good impact and benefits them, especially in their mental health. From the results obtained, this study suggests providing different seminars and exposures for the students to gain knowledge about the benefits of dance based on various dance forms to students' mental health. These findings provide new information to students and professionals interested in researching dance and mental health. Further investigation is also recommended to support this research study.

Abstract

Martha Rosler's textual-visual masterpiece The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems is in possession of numerous postmodernist dimensions. The current study, therefore, is intended to elucidate how The Bowery benefits from postmodernist aesthetics and rhetoric. It will argue that such postmodernist elements as irony, paradox, and parody lie at the heart of Rosler's photo-text art. To that end, the article will employ Linda Hutcheon's postmodernist terminology and theories as the underlying theoretical framework. Analysing The Bowery through the lens of the said theorist's postmodernist approach and vocabulary, the essay will assert that Rosler's premises resonate strongly with Hutcheon's theories. Moreover, generically viewed, The Bowery will be deemed to be a complex of postmodern photography and social documentary practices. The current article will attempt to re-evaluate and thus furnish a fresh reading of The Bowery in light of its postmodern conceptual and photographic elements.

Abstract

Silence behaviour is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation that is influenced by various factors. The behaviour of employees who fail to provide important information to the immediate superior is influenced by related factors such as communication climate, appearance attraction and personality type (extrovert-introvert). This study examined the influence of the communication climate, appearance attraction and personality type (introverted extroverts) on silence behaviour. PLS-SEM is used to test the hypothesis based on data from 360 Malay workers in four key sectors: industry, services, banking, and education, especially in the Klang Valley. The findings showed a significant positive direct relationship between communication climate, appearance attraction, personality type (extrovert-introverted), and silence behaviour. Theoretically, this study contributes to the knowledge management literature by studying the communication climate, appearance attraction and personality of introverted extroverts, which has proven that predictors of silence behaviour directly. Meanwhile, the application practically helps the management to identify the behaviour of Malay employees by promoting holistic dissemination of information within the organisation.

Abstract

Since the introduction of Western education to Northern Nigeria, especially in the 1920s, many Muslims in the region found it objectionable as it tempered with their religio-cultural values including for instance, co-education. In light of this therefore, this paper identifies and examines the major challenges affecting girl child education in Ungogo Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria. Using both primary and secondary sources that are augmented with a qualitative data analysis, the researchers administered a total number of 120 questionnaires across five (5) political wards of Ungogo Local Government Area that were purposively sampled. Out of the 120 questionnaires administered, only 105 were retrieved representing 87.5% response rate. Data collected is analysed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that religio-cultural reasons, poverty, lack of viable government educational policies and parental preference to educate the male child are the major factors curtailing the chances of the girl child to have access to western education in the area of study.

Abstract

Horror movies are artfully constructed to simultaneously elicit fear and thrill audiences. They essentially integrate gory, frightful and obscene creatures (notably the living dead, the undead, paranormal beings and aliens), as well as scary or terrifying scenes all designed to build the fear appeal or the fight-or-flight response. The mobilization of such scary scenes and creatures always entails the use of relevant, realistic – and professional-quality – costumes, make-up, special effects and editing among other technical tools. These tools are generally extremely exorbitant and not affordable to small-budget African filmmakers like the majority of Nigerian videastes who most often rely on very meager resources to produce their movies. In effect, the inability to lay hand on professional-quality make-up and special effects causes most Nigerian video filmmakers to rely on sub-standard tools which do not always actualize the aesthetic and fear appeal expected in a horror film. This scenario could well be illustrated using the way monsters and apocalyptic scenes are treated in most Nollywood zombie movies. In such movies, the leverage of sub-standard and grotesque make-up and special effects most often leads to the creation of pseudo-zombies which, instead of instilling fear and the fight-or-flight response, are susceptible to baffle or amuse film viewers and critics.

Abstract

As Elizabeth J. Meyer wrote in the book Queering Straight Teachers Discourse and Identity in Education is that, “Queer theory goes beyond exploring aspects of gay and lesbian identity and experience. It questions taken-for granted assumptions about relationships, identity, gender, and sexual orientation. It seeks to explode rigid normalizing categories into possibilities that exist beyond the binaries of man/woman, masculine/feminine, student/teacher, and gay/straight” (Meyer, 1). Among these series of complexly designed network of marginalization, which is a branched and towered regime of oppression in Indian framework, so, I select Gender and Caste as that lens to depict the narratives of marginalized identity- women. The concept of “women” as Judith Butler defines in her famous work Gender Trouble 1990- “Women are the sex which is not “one”. Within…a phallogocentric language, women constitute the unrepresentable…women represent the sex that cannot be thought, a linguistic absence and opacity” (Butler, 13). The identity of a woman gets trapped between some supposed and created links, which therefore my paper will try to discern, by the application of queer post-structuralist feminist theory, in both few selected literary texts- Mahasweta Devi’s Rudali and Breast Stories, Chitra Banerjee Devakaruni’s Mistress of Spices, Vine of Desire, and Sister of My Heart, and social context- women as subject of politics within the rape culture.

Abstract

Across the global spectrum, climate change has proven to be problematic with no definitive way of solving it. At the same time, its effects on humanity have been catastrophic and detrimental, undermining all facets of human security such as food security, personal security, health security, environmental security, economic security, political security and community security. Zimbabwe has not been spared, as the scale and magnitude of climate change have proven to be more vicious and malignant owing it to a myriad of quagmires which among others include but are not limited to weak preparedness and emergence management systems, insufficient budget, lack of political will and poor community education campaigns. Using mixed method, the research examines the effects of climate change and human security in Zimbabwe with the primary purpose of coming up with organic and actionable policy alternatives that can be used to enhance human security. The paper concludes that, climate change undermines human security and there is need for urgent intervention from the government to invest in climate adaptation and mitigatory measures.
