Through work, he provides his basic necessities on earth and co-operate with God in the work of creation. He received this mandate to work from the very beginning of creation by God. In carrying out this mandate, man every human being reflects the very action of the creator of the Universe. God worked and intended that man who is created in His image and likeness continues the work of creation by working. Even though Man suffers and sweats through work and yet, in spite of all this toil-perhaps in a sense because of it - work is a good thing for man. It is not only good in the sense that it is useful or something to enjoy; it is also good as being something worthy, that is to say something that corresponds to man's dignity that expresses this dignity and increases it. This project examines man as a creature called to work and born into work. It is true that through work, man provides himself and his family with the basic necessities of life and everyday needs for the reason he charges wages for his sweat. Work goes beyond and should exceed the boundaries of the material benefit that comes out of it to the satisfaction and fulfilment for the very purpose we should work. The modern society has attached so much importance to money and material possession, the question then is how do we go along working in the spirit of improvement and renewal of the earth? The modern man understands work only as a means of making his daily bread. For this reason, he engages himself in an occupation that he has little or no interest in. He ends up quarrelling everyday with the people that he or she is supposed to serve through work. The result is low work output and waste of talents and the society loses an opportunity for improvement as every creature is supposed to contribute uniquely. A good example is Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with a population estimate of about over 170,000,000 people and the sixth Oil producing Nation.}, subject = {Nigeria}, language = {en} } @article{SenaratneMuehlbauerKiefletal.2023, author = {Senaratne, Hansi and M{\"u}hlbauer, Martin and Kiefl, Ralph and C{\´a}rdenas, Andrea and Prathapan, Lallu and Riedlinger, Torsten and Biewer, Carolin and Taubenb{\"o}ck, Hannes}, title = {The Unseen — an investigative analysis of thematic and spatial coverage of news on the ongoing refugee crisis in West Africa}, series = {ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information}, volume = {12}, journal = {ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information}, number = {4}, issn = {2220-9964}, doi = {10.3390/ijgi12040175}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-313607}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The fastest growing regional crisis is happening in West Africa today, with over 8 million people considered persons of concern. A culmination of identity politics, climate-driven disasters, and extreme poverty has led to this humanitarian crisis in the region and is exacerbated by a lack of political will and misplaced media attention. The current state of the art does not present sufficient investigations of the thematic and spatial coverage of news media of this crisis in this region. This paper studies the spatial coverage of this crisis as reported in the media, and the themes associated with those locations, based on a curated dataset. For the time frame 12 March to 15 September 2021, 2017 news articles related to the refugee crisis in West Africa were examined and manually coded based on (1) the geographical locations mentioned in each article; (2) the themes found in the articles in reference to a location (e.g., Relocation of people in Abuja). The dataset introduces a thematic dimension, as never achieved before, to the conflict-ridden areas in West Africa. A comparative analysis with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) data showed that 96.8\% of refugee-related locations in West Africa were not covered by news during the considered time frame. Contrastingly, 80.4\% of locations mentioned in the news do not appear in the UNHCR repository. Most news articles published during this time frame reported on Development aid or Political statements. Linear multiple regression analysis showed GDP per capita and political stability to be among the most influential determinants of news coverage.}, language = {en} } @article{Schulze2015, author = {Schulze, Daniel}, title = {The Passive Gaze and Hyper-Immunised Spectators: The Politics of Theatrical Live-Broadcasting}, series = {Journal of Contemporary Drama in English}, volume = {3}, journal = {Journal of Contemporary Drama in English}, number = {2}, issn = {2195-0164}, doi = {10.1515/jcde-2015-0024}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-195091}, pages = {315-326}, year = {2015}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, language = {en} } @article{Kailich2022, author = {Kailich, Franziska}, title = {The Introduction of English-induced neologisms in Spanish tweets: a case-study on covidiota}, series = {Frontiers in Communication}, volume = {7}, journal = {Frontiers in Communication}, issn = {2297-900X}, doi = {10.3389/fcomm.2022.780340}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-274064}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This paper intends to trace the introduction of an English-induced, COVID-related neologism, covidiota, into the Spanish language.

Zoopoetics and Ecopoetics probes the multiple links between ecocriticism and animal studies, assessing the relations between animals, environments and poetics. While ecocriticism usually relies on a relational approach to explore phenomena related to the environment or ecology more broadly, animal studies tends to examine individual or species-specific aspects. As a consequence, ecocriticism concentrates on ecopoetical, animal studies on zoopoetical elements and modes of representation in literature (and the arts more generally). Bringing key concepts of ecocriticism and animal studies into dialogue, the volume explores new ways of thinking about and reading texts, animals, and environments - not as separate entities but as part of the same collective.}, language = {en} } @book{AckermannKarremannMalhotraetal.2021, author = {Ackermann, Zeno and Karremann, Isabel and Malhotra, Simi and Zaidi, Nishat}, title = {Terrains of Consciousness: Multilogical Perspectives on Globalization}, edition = {1.

The book represents an integrated approach to the study of modern English as an open synergetic system, which requires a description of the relationship between verbal and nonverbal notions in digital space. The book integrates such innovative perspectives as the interaction of natural English and programming languages, cyber aggression as a communicative pattern in English-language digital discourse, ethics, and democratization of modern English language, relevant developments in the field of English language as a Foreign Language, and other related issues.
