Money Over Marriage: Marriage Importance As A Mediator Between Materialism And Marital Satisfaction, Ashley B. Lebaron, Heather H. Kelley, Jason S. Carroll

Faculty Publications

While the negative relationship between materialism and marital satisfaction is well documented, mediators that possibly explain this association have not been widely explored.

The Role Of The Postcolonial Indian Writer In Promoting Hinduism With Reference To Mysticism, K. S. A. Weerasena

Journal of Innovation in Science, Engineering and Technology

Postcolonial Indian writing is heavily influenced by the religion of the colonizers and socio-cultural practices of the Westerners. Many studies are conducted to understand how postcolonial literature attempts to counteract alienation by asserting the richness and validity of native cultures in an effort to restore pride in indigenous practices and traditions. However, little research has been conducted to understand the role of the postcolonial Indian writers in glorifying their native cultures and religions which led to identify their works with mysticism. This paper explores the cultural hybridity of the postcolonial Indian writers and their effort to highlight the importance of …

Strategic Marketing Approach In Container Shipping: Application Of Ten S Model, Lalith Edirisinghe

Journal of Innovation in Science, Engineering and Technology

The application of strategic marketing theories is rather difficult due to the complexities in demand and supply factors in the shipping industry. Shipping is a derived demand of international trade. The supply of shipping also has its exclusiveness leading to very complicated outcomes. Given the fact that shipping has more services characteristics than that of a product the key fundamentals such as perishability, intangibility, non-separability, and heterogeneity make it further complicated. This paper attempts to systematically apply the Ten S marketing model because it is expected that the model could be applied in highly complicated marketing environments.

Peruvian Antiquities And The Collecting Of Cultural Goods, Terrence H. Witkowski

Markets, Globalization & Development Review

Ancient art, artifacts, and architecture have long excited the intellectual curiosity and acquisitive passions of private and institutional collectors who, in turn, have funded archaeological research, preservation initiatives, and public education.

Supplying collectors has destroyed much cultural evidence in source countries and has raised questions about who should control heritage and history. This article investigates the market for Peruvian antiquities, the surviving material culture created by the country’s inhabitants before the Spanish Conquest. It briefly reviews Peru’s early history and the history of collecting its artifacts, and …
