The Reflection on Architectural Discourse of 1920’s: Musical Urbanism between Radicalism and Tradition | Chapter 6 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 Following World War I, a number of compositions emerged that addressed the phenomenon of the modern city by translating the clamorous sounds of urban surroundings and artistically expressing them through the medium of music. Because the rendering of poetic and esoteric moods unrelated to practical life was widely regarded as outmoded, musical preoccupation with modern architecture was primarily concerned with social aspects. such as people's circumstances, their emotional attachment to bygone conditions, and the search for orientation in a technologically dominated environment There are clear parallels with contemporary architectural debates in which the tension between modernism and traditionalism is also prominent. This article compares various country-specific concepts of musical urbanism, which manifests itself in compositional reflections on various aspects of modern urban architecture and urban life.

Morale and Job Satisfaction Levels among Teachers in Tanzania: A Case of Selected Public Secondary Schools in the Northern Zone | Chapter 5 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 A case study was conducted on the role of extrinsic factors (hygiene factors) and socio-demographic factors in determining morale and job satisfaction among teachers in Tanzanian public secondary schools. Biographical variables such as teachers' age, gender, marital status, and work experience were investigated to see if they had any effect on their level of morale and job satisfaction. Different human resource and management researchers have interpreted morale and job satisfaction differently. The study used a variety of data collection methods, including an interview guide, questionnaires, and a documentary review checklist. The study discovered that job satisfaction among teachers in public secondary schools in northern Tanzania was not uniform; socioeconomic and demographic factors played a significant role in varying morale and job satisfaction levels. As an example, Female teachers' job satisfaction was statistically significant (t(84) =2.62, p = 0.04), as was young teachers' (below 40 years) job satisfaction (t(84) = -2.22, p = 0.01). However, age and work experience had a significant impact on teachers' job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The study concludes that socioeconomic and demographic factors have potential strength in designing and maintaining a job satisfaction model that accounts for morale and job satisfaction challenges among teachers in Tanzanian public secondary schools. The motivators and hygiene factors were found to have a significant impact on job satisfaction among teachers in Tanzania.

Job Attribute Preferences of Generation Y Professionals | Chapter 4 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 This study investigates the job attribute preferences of Bangladeshi Generation Y professionals. Unlike most previous studies, which used isolated estimation methods, this study used conjoint analysis, a marketing research tool, to calculate the relative utilities and trade-off matrices of various job attributes. A questionnaire presenting a variety of hypothetical job offers was used to collect data from 140 executive MBA students at a premier business school in Dhaka (HJO). Salary and benefits, as well as person-job match, are discovered to be the top two most preferred job attributes. The work environment and the company's reputation are ranked as the two least important job characteristics. A simulation was run to demonstrate the trade-offs people make when deciding on a job. In terms of the order of importance of job attributes, case-wise conjoint results show no significant difference between different demographic groups (e.g., married-single, have-don't have dependents, and others). However, the relative importance value was discovered to be slightly different for different demographic groups. This study is significant for academics because it demonstrates a new technique for analyzing job attribute preferences. Managers can use the findings of this study to create jobs that will attract and retain the best talent in the market. They can use the simulation process shown here to optimize their overall preference for job offers.

The Extension of Wittgenstein’s Language Games: Schema Games | Chapter 3 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 Wittgenstein's concept of "language games" is generalized to "schema games," and can thus be applied to a universal epistemological approach, according to the author's methodological scheme interpretationism. This will also incorporate existing natural science and neuroscience results and hypotheses while meta-theoretically transcending the terminologically all too narrow “lingualistic” interpretations of representation, cognition, and action.

Are You doing the Right Things? Initial Stages of Individuals Change Management: Identify, Acknowledge and Make a Courageous Move Framework | Chapter 2 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 In sports, too little attention has been paid concerning why changes are important for personal development and who exactly should notice when a change in personal activities would be needed. People themselves do not necessarily recognize that their efforts and goals are not in good sync. When this happens, they make changes to their routines, when things go badly wrong, but at the same time they can be blind for their inefficient ways of working. Authors have created a framework to ease the issue to identify a need for change to achieve sports goals. The study concentrated on the forefront of change management: identifying and acknowledging the need(s) for change, particularly in the early stages of an individual's change needs detection phase. As a result, we propose the Identify, Recognize, and Make a Bold Move framework. These stages can be used to elicit appropriate changes. The study's value lies in its comprehensive and in-depth examination of the early stages of sport training-related change management.

A Missing Link between Musicology and Music? New Insights from the Philosophy of Complexity and the Musical Heuristics | Chapter 1 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 The purpose of this chapter is to argue for the inclusion of Edgar Morin's philosophical principles of complexity as supplements to the musical panoply of analyses and interpretations derived from musical semiology and musicology. In this way, such analyses can be given a new critical approach, adopting a polysemic attitude that is better suited than the current one to convey the full richness of the musical phenomenon, particularly in terms of its fluidity and dynamics. The first section of the article attempts to define the boundaries of Jean-Jacques Nattiez's musical semiology, as well as the analyses. as a result of it We will investigate the concept of musical work in depth, examining the components of its complexity that prevent a reductive operation between the score and the work. The second section of the chapter is concerned with the reconstruction of musical works, which is proposed on the basis of Musical Heuristics, allowing for "embodied" knowledge of the reference pieces and thus supplementing the analyses derived from musical semiology. In conclusion, my paper attempts a musical application of the three underlying principles of complexity philosophy.

Mud Crab Fisheries in the Sundarbans Area, Bangladesh: A Potential Livelihood of the Vulnerable Coastal Communities | Chapter 9 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 7

 This chapter describes the current state and future prospects of coastal communities' participation in the mud crab fishery. Mud crab is one of the most important fisheries products, ranking third among Bangladesh's fisheries commodity exports. Sixty percent of the crabs exported come from the Sundarbans' mangrove forests. The country earns approximately US$ 45 million from the export of 10,000MT of live mud crab. The coastal zone accounts for 32% of the country's land area, and >80% of the coastal area is suitable for brackish water aquaculture. Despite the fact that shrimp is the primary coastal aquaculture product, massive disease outbreaks threaten production and producers' livelihoods. Thus, shifting to mud crab culture provides an opportunity for marginalized farmers to avoid the risks associated with shrimp farming. Crab farming has the potential to become the most important alternative livelihood option for the coastal population. Furthermore, while recent coastal disasters (such as SIDR and AILA) have had devastating effects on coastal ecosystems and significantly altered coastal communities' livelihood patterns, Many of the remaining waterlogged areas are easily converted to mud crab aquaculture. If the country can spread modern farming techniques and inspire local communities, the mud crab industry can thrive quickly and compete with shrimp for the highest-ranking fisheries commodity to export.
