It sets out the United Kingdom’s foreign and security policy approach for the next decade. In the Integrated Review, the international system is described as more competitive, more fragmented, and multipolar. It introduces a new policy approach based on new trends namely geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts; systemic competition; rapid technological change; and transnational challenges in the world post-Covid-19 and post-Brexit. The Global Britain vision labels China as a challenging “systemic competitor” in this new world order. The United Kingdom-China relations have a long history, with a complex nature and include both cooperation and confrontation. This article focuses on the United Kingdom’s China strategy which, according to the Integrated Review, requires a shift in policy making. This article claims that the United Kingdom lacks a clear China strategy although it describes it as the main systemic competitor. It elaborates on the historical developments of bilateral relations and questions the challenges that China pose to security, prosperity, and values from the British perspective.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122231070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are two research questions and null hypotheses which were formulated to serve as a guide to the study. The findings of this study showed that the Perceived Precariousness of the school surrounding significantly predicts senior secondary school students' achievement in agricultural science education while gender does not significantly influence the achievement of students in agricultural science in a perceived precariousness situation. The conclusion of the study was that secondary school students should be educated on the importance of perceived Precariousness in the school community as a predictor of their achievement in agricultural science education. It was recommended that strong awareness or orientation should be given to students on the significance of perceived Precariousness in the school community as a predictor of achievement in agricultural science.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"726 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133282094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only through its direct impact but mostly because of a series of spillover effects, this massive military confrontation is already affecting the power distribution in the region. EU-Russia relations, from the perspective of energy security, has already been discussed extensively but a new dimension will have to be added to this crumbling cooperation. Similarly, the preponderance of Russia in former Soviet space may be collapsing. The strategies pursued by the Western Bloc and Russia can be analyzed withing the framework of a “commitment” policy. A strong strategy, binding one actor to a certain path, might be a strong signal to push the adversaries for cooperation. Yet, carries high risks, for in case of a non-cooperative response might multiply losses for all parties. The war dynamics and energy security situation in Eurasia displays characteristics of this high-risk strategy that might possibly not bring the desired outcome. This study evaluates the energy policies as well as Russia’s wartime policies from a perspective of commitment strategy.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114787213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural equation modelling technique was used to analyze complex models with both direct and indirect relationships. Quantitative data was gathered by utilizing questionnaires. To demonstrate convergence validity, confirmatory factor analysis was used. Composite reliability and AVE scores were calculated to assess the scales' reliability and discriminant validity. The AMOS statistical program's structural equation model method was used to test the hypotheses. Out of six hypotheses, two of them were supported. It has been empirically proven that Internal Job Satisfaction has a direct effect on Affective Commitment and Normative Commitment, where External Job Satisfaction does not have a direct effect on any sub-dimensions of organizational commitment. Although job satisfaction and organizational commitment have been examined individually in many studies, this research focused on female employees working in the service sector while evaluating the relationship between the two concepts in the light of current data.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"485 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115879107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, to establish strong and favorable brand meaning prior to market entry and enhance the acceptance of the new brand, an ultimate attention should be devoted to design and select brand elements that together convey consistent meaning. Herein, this study aims to examine the effect of interaction between sounds in brand names and shapes of brand logos on brand affection drawing upon sound and shape symbolism. To test the interaction effect between sound and shape, one experimental study was conducted. The findings of the study revealed that sounds in the brand names and shapes of the brand logos alone did not influence brand affection significantly. However, the results purported that the congruent combination of sounds in a brand name and shape of a brand logo significantly influenced brand affection compared to incongruent combinations. More specifically, the results indicated that when brand names are including high (low) frequency sounds and having angular (rounded) brand logo, brand affection towards the brand increased. These results are expected to both contribute to relevant literature and ensure applicable insights to the marketing practitioners who are responsible for designing and selecting brand elements.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115858886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, few studies have examined the possible impact of changing economic conditions due to economic and/or financial crises on public environmental concern and especially concern towards climate change. The economic crisis starting in late 2018 in Turkey provides an interesting case to understand the impact of economic factors on environmental concerns and especially attitudes towards climate change. The study asks how changing economic conditions due to the economic crisis of 2018 affected Turkish individuals’ concerns about the climate change problem. Multilevel analysis was applied to data collected from special Eurobarometer surveys between the years 2018 and 2020. The main finding in this study is that changes in the economic situation across Turkey during the crisis period do have an impact in decreasing public concern towards climate change in Turkey overall. In 2020 when the negative effects of economic recession were felt strongly, the results indicate that environmental concern is negatively correlated with the public perceptions of the national economy, household financial situation, and life satisfaction. In other words, while the prioritization of economic factors by most of the society in the period when the economic crisis was most felt, confirms the post-materialist thesis; on the other hand, the increasing awareness of the climate change crisis has started to bring the idea that the exit plans from the economic crisis should be more environmentally friendly and more sustainable.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126810457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary data were extracted from the audited accounts and reports of the chosen firms. This research employed descriptive and inferential statistical analyses for data estimation. The results of this work reveal that debt in relation to equity (DER) has insignificant adverse effect on return on asset (ROA) of the selected firms. Contrarily, DER has a direct significant effect on return on equity (ROE) and a direct insignificant effect on the net profit margin (NPM) of the sampled manufacturing companies. Total debt to total assets (TDTA) has positive but insignificant effect on all the financial performance indicators. The study also found that short-term debt to total assets (SDTA) and long-term debt to total assets (LDTA) have negative negligble effect on all the dependent variables. The outcomes of the study imply that the management of these companies need to always be guided appropriately in their capital mix decisions in order to optimize their financial performance. Therefore, the main thrust of this study is that optimal capital structure is essential for the profitability of manufacturing companies in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":145132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Theoretical Social Sciences","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130420199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
