Abstract

The article focuses on the Vlach question after the first World War, when the Balkan region was finally divided amongthe different national States and the Ottoman Empire collapsed. In this period the Aromanian communities had to find a newpolicy inside a new scenario and addressed towards different options represented by Albania, Italy and Romania. In a first timeVlachs also tried to create an autonomous principality of Pindus but this experience was short-lived and did not produce tangibleresults. On the contrary, during the interwar period the Vlachs consolidated their privileged relationship with Romania andestablished an influent group at Bucharest, where they partecipated to the internal political life even supporting the most radicalmovements such as Corneliu's Codreanu Iron Guard.

Abstract

There are two objectives of the project. First is to assess the overall image of China brand products in consumers’ minds. Countries of origin effect influences people’s evaluations on products and purchase decisions since people have different perceptions towards different countries and products. This is because each country has its own political, technological and economical environment. In consumers’ minds, they have negative attitudes on China brand products, such as old-fashioned, cheap, etc. So, there is negative country of origin effect on China brand products in markets. This is the first reason for doing this project. Second objective is to analyze the data for our survey and give some suggestions and recommendations. We choose a specific product electric for our Study and we made some comparison between Chinese brand Lenovo and the Japanese brand Sony, I chose this two brand as Lenovo one of the most famous brand in China, and Sony as one of the big electronic company in the world. Consumers’ attitude towards electric appliance may influence their purchase of the products, which are in China or foreign brands. Besides, consumers’ attitude towards brand image may also affect their purchase decision among different brands of products. There are some factors help constructing consumers’ attitudes towards brand image, such as advertising, quality, price, technology and package. Moreover, other variables, such as sex, age, income and educational level can also influence consumers’ purchase decisions among different brand products. On the other hand, this study mainly focuses in 19 countries.

Abstract

What are the stylistic differences between Persian and English novelists with regard to their choices and application of lexical patterns? What are the textual differences between Persian and English novels in terms of lexical cohesion? To answer these questions, two Persian (The Blind Owl by Sadigh Hedayat and The Patient Stone by Sadigh Chubak) together with two English novels (The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and The Pearl by John Steinbeck) which are enormously popular in contemporary Persian and English literatures were selected as the main source of data. The results of lexical cohesion analysis on 1000-word excerpts of these novels showed that the difference between Persian and English novelists’ choices of lexical patterns is caused by the higher number of reiteration as well as the collocation pairs used by Persian novelists. This study concludes that some lexical relations are more frequent in the Persian novels than in the English ones (e.g. Equivalence and Elaborative collocation), conversely some are more salient in English texts under study (e.g. Simple repetition). The similarities of these texts with regard to the frequency of lexical relations turned out to be more than their differences nonetheless. In addition, detailed explanations of the results as well as complete elucidation of the model of analysis (proposed by Tanskanen, 2006) accompanied by examples extracted from the selected Persian and English novels have been put forward. The results of this study can inspire literary critics, theorists in stylistics, EFL teachers, assessment specialists, translators and contrastivists.

Abstract

This research explores the development of business enterprises through waste management in slum areas of Ado-Ekiti. The problem of waste disposal is a major concern in these areas of the city, being the reference point in this research work. Dirty environment would have been kept clean if only people were made to embrace the business opportunities in Waste Management as it puts money in their pockets. Both primary and secondary sources of data collection were accessed to gather relevant information for the work. The sample frame used is the total number of housing units in the six selected slum areas of the city. The total number of housing units in the area was 7858 out of which 2.5%, amounting to 200 housing units was selected as sample size with the aid of systematic random sampling. Findings in the study revealed the nature of waste generated in the area, ranging from food (domestic), paper, plastic and metal wastes. It was discovered also from the findings that very few, just about 1.0% of the respondents separate their wastes while 99.0% do not. This explains why Waste Management business is not embraced on a larger scale in Ado-Ekiti, except for a very few that are involved in scavenging, collection and those who work directly with the company in charge of street sweeping in collaboration with the State Waste Management Board. However, the encouragement of people becomes necessary in the establishment of business ventures in Waste Management Enterprise, which this research work sought to contribute to economic development in Waste Management in Ado-Ekiti.

Abstract

A lot has been allocated to how a child learns to talk, but what has been neglected is the reason why he starts to. Satisfying biological needs, at most, would have been the first objective of the child. However, what he intends is communication for which the primitive signs and gestures are transformed into codes whether it be sounds uttered or figures engraved on the papers. Strategy leads the child to find his way into the community he belongs to, and language just like other abilities develops as he grows up biologically. His experience with otherese assists him to find the path, explore, experiment, practice and get involved with meaning-geared communication for which he goes all out to use linguistic aspects. In almost all developmental processes, when the child is not able to express oneself clearly, compensation strategies are resorted to in order for his/her intentions to become realized. However, these long-lasting strategies are not erased with the passage of time since they are taken to be devices of perfect versatility which appears to last for a lifelong period.
