During the time, there were two schools of thought. The first argued that Swahili literature originates from God and that He is the first artist who transmits creative skills to Swahili artists. The second school of thought viewed Swahili literature as a product of socio-economic human activities, and that God has no place in it. By the late 1980s, the discussion on the place of God in Swahili literature appeared to be concluded by a good number of scholars supporting the second school of thought. Consequently, today scholars seem to be in agreement that God has no place in Swahili literature. This article, however, views this agreement as a serious oversight. Since the Swahili society believes in various kinds of gods and religions, there is no way their literature will be free from the influence of gods and religions. Therefore, this article presents the influence of Christianity in Swahili literature, citing examples from prophesies of bongo flavor poetry.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81951951","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}

{"title":"From Career Choice to Career Change: Experiences of PGDE Students in Tanzania","authors":"Jacquline Amani","doi":"10.56279/jhss.v11i1.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56279/jhss.v11i1.7","url":null,"abstract":"This article presents findings from a qualitative inquiry that explored the underlying motives of career change among Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) students in Tanzania. Focused group discussions (FGDs) were used to collect data to address two study objectives: first, explore the reasons why PGDE students tend to change their career; and second, determine PGDE students’ intentions to join and stay in the new career. The findings indicate that career change is motived by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Specifically, career change motives are due to job dissatisfaction, employment opportunities, wrong first career choice, and the desire for career growth. This article provides relevant information on career change influencers and intentions of PGDE students to join and stay in their new careers. A teacher who has moved from one career paths to another needs professional support to cope with various professional challenges. This would not only bridge the gap between becoming and being a teacher, but also make easy for them to grow professionally. Based on the findings, the article concludes that different motives for career change imply that quality teacher training, and recruitment and retention strategies in the teaching profession are worth re-thinking. The findings are discussed in the context of teacher attraction and retention in Tanzania.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82696034","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 critical question is what is the basis of the exclusion of BONA from the semantic entailments found in UTLWA? To respond to this question, it is important to examine and characterize the semantic domains of BONA. This verb demonstrates some interesting polysemism when used in different syntactic contexts. The paper will first present the verbs of perceptions in Setswana and their semantic relationships. Further, it will suggest that in the lemmatization of BONA, its varied and specialized semantic entailments that characterize it need to be presented and discussed critically to capture the cultural and linguistic richness of this verb.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"167 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75188430","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}

Deep and stratified archaeological deposits recorded at Mumba have shown unique distinctive technological and behavioural traits with possible connections between Middle Stone Age (MSA), Later Stone Age (LSA), Neolithic, and Iron Age cultures. Archaeological records were found associated with symbolic-revealing objects such as ochre pigments, beads, and stone rubber stained with red ochre, which express the cognitive ability of ancestors who inhabited Mumba rock-shelter and the surrounding landscape from the MSA to the present. Ochre pigments are believed to be one of the ingredients for painted figures executed globally on Precambrian and gneiss rock-walls. Despite being a significant part of human intellectual achievements, the rock art images depicted at Mumba have been severely affected by physical weathering and anthropogenic actions. This paper explores the extent to which the rock art of Mumba reference cultural processes, conservation challenges, and prospects for future uses. The presented data were collected through in-depth documentation using modern analytical techniques such as ImageJ and Adobe Photoshop C5 softwares to trace the paintings. Two traditional systems of hunter-forager and Bantu speaking paintings were identified at Mumba. However, the conservation status of the rock art of Mumba is not ideal, which necessitates collective management approaches.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80874224","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}

Sangomas are rumoured to fuel the narrative that body parts of persons with albinism have magical powers, and so can be harnessed and used by quick wealth-seekers. That narrative has claimed lives and agency of many albinos. There is, however, an emerging trend for sangomas to revert this narrative through media. A good example is Unathi Magubeni, a South African practicing sangoma, who has authored the novel: Nwelezelanga: The Star Child (2016), on the topic. Borrowing from critical ideas on intertextuality, disability studies and agency, this study analyses Magubeni’s subtext to ascertain its activism on albinism. The study conducts an intertextual analysis of the novel to find out how the text (de)humanises persons with albinism, and whether it resists or affirms various perceptions and stereotypes regarding albinism. It argues that intertexts in the novel ambivalently (re)signify beliefs, stereotypes, and perceptions regarding albinism and persons with the condition.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87034866","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 pillars are food availability, food accessibility, food affordability, food adequacy, food acceptability and food stability. The study involved 376 participants. Structured interviews, field observation, focused group discussions, indepth interviews and documentary review were the methods used for data collection. Findings reveal that many households (76.2%) in Iringa were facing food shortage. The findings show that food insecurity in the district was exacerbated by the lack of steadiness in the six pillars of household food security. Given its semi-arid climatic conditions, the study concluded that the instability of these pillars push many households in the district into food insecurity and loss of income. This leads to the recommendations that efforts by the government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the private sector to alleviate recurrent food shortages in the district should focus on helping households address the sustainably of each of the pillars of food security.","PeriodicalId":41415,"journal":{"name":"Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76486981","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}
