ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to examine how caretakers speak to young children in a day-care centre and particularly to investigate how they adjust their language, according to children's age and to size of groups. Five Italian teachers were observed, each one during six different sessions. Children's ages were 0;10–1;2 and 2;6–3;0. The number of children varied from a rather large group (seven children) to a small group (three children) to a single child. Language was taperecorded during free-play sessions of ten minutes. Context was noted by two observers. Transcripts were analysed according to structural features (syntactical complexity, redundancy, type-token ratio, speed) and functional features (proportion of utterances with different purpose: control and organization of child behaviour, empathy, conversation and teaching). Results show some significant differences in structure and function according to children's age and group size.

Abstract: The current number of working mothers has increased dramatically. Later, child-rearing has become a daily challenge for many families. Thus, many parents send their children to grandparents' homes or to daycare centers. However, parents are not always able to monitor their children's every move. Therefore, the Internet of Things-based Baby Monitoring System (IoTBBMS) is being proposed as an efficient and inexpensive IoT-based monitoring system in real time. We also came up with a new algorithm for our system that plays a key role in providing better child care in the absence of parents. In the design process, the Node Micro-Controller Unit (NodeMCU) is used to collect sensor-readable data and upload it via Wi-Fi to the AdaFruit BLYNK server. The proposed system uses sensors to monitor important fetal parameters, such as ambient temperature, humidity, and crying. The system structure consists of a baby's crib that will automatically swipe using the engine when the baby cries. Parents can also monitor their children's condition with an external webcam and open a playful toy located on the baby's crib from a BLYNK server to entertain the baby. The proposed prototype of the system is designed and tested to prove its cost-effectiveness and simplicity and to ensure safe operation to enable child rearing anywhere and anytime via the network. Finally, the child monitoring system is proven to be effective in monitoring the child's condition and the environment in accordance with the model. All data taken from the sensors / modules will be stored in the Mobile application and periodically updated. The Health Algorithm is used in these databases to get information about useful physical conditions as any common symptoms of the disease can be easily identified. The proposed prototype of the system is designed and tested to prove its cost-effectiveness and simplicity and to ensure safe operation to enable child rearing anywhere and anytime via the network. Finally, the child monitoring system is proven to be effective in monitoring the child's condition and the environment according to the prototype. Keywords: IOT, Research, Node MCU, BLYNK, MQTT

Full textAbstract:
The issue of reading interest formation among older preschoolers is relevant due to the general decline in reading culture in modern society, the underestimation of the fiction role by parents and the introduction of children to reading for their intellectual, social, artistic, aesthetic and psycho-emotional development. Parents stopped reading books to their children, using electronic audiovisual products as a means of children's knowledge of the world around them; as a result, modern preschoolers develop outside the context of book culture, which negatively affects their mental development. The aim of the study is to develop organizational and pedagogical conditions that ensure formation effectiveness of reader interest in fiction among older preschoolers based on the scientific sources analysis. Reader interest in senior preschool age is a dynamic personal formation, which manifests itself in the child's conscious and selective attitude in choosing the types and genres of works of fiction to meet cognitive and artistic and aesthetic needs. The effectiveness of the reader interest formation among 7-year-old children will be facilitated by the implementation of complex with organizational and pedagogical conditions in the preschool institution educational practice. The complex includes development of a model and program of pedagogical support for reader interest formation in fiction among older preschoolers, social partnership relations with a children's library, developing subject-spatial environment in the preschool group, enriched with didactic and subject material focused on the literary development of older preschoolers.

This diversity is reflected in various fields of life, including the arts, social and family fields. In the family, cultural patterns have a role in influencing rituals in the family, one of which is the ritual the birth of a baby. The Peta Ega Ritual is a ritual to welcoming the birth of a baby in Tidore Island and North Maluku communities. The Ega Map ritual has its peculiarities. The people of Tidore believe that suggestions through the Peta Ega ritual can have an impact on children's behavior in the future. The Peta Ega ritual itself has a element of suggestion given by parents or pious people to the baby. The approach in this research is qualitative with descriptive methods. Respondents from communities on the island of Tidore. The pattern of forming children's behavior in the Peta Ega ritual is carried out in two ways, that is direct suggestions given directly and indirectly. Direct suggestions are given by people who Peta Ega to the baby, while indirect suggestions are through suggestions on the placenta and behavioral associations given by parents and close relatives that are repeated repeatedly until the baby grows up. The words of suggestion are also considered as prayers that strengthen children's behavior.</p><p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"> <strong>Abstrak</strong><strong> </strong></p><p>Indonesia adalah salah satu bangsa dan negara besar.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores the specificity of linguistic creativity in the discourse of children's English-language adventure fiction of the 1950s. The aim of the research is to develop the parametrization and vector-space method of discourse and text linguistic creativity assessment to evaluate the linguistic creativity potential of individual texts displaying similar discourse features. To serve as the research data three discourse fragments were selected, which represent three basic narrative types, Orientation, Complicating Actions, Evaluation and Resolution. To achieve the aim, the author applies the procedure of parametrization analysis followed by general and analytic statistics analysis and vector-space modelling. With the system of 52 parameters featuring linguistic creativity in phonology, word-formation, morphology, lexicology and phraseology, syntax, and graphics, the author manually annotates and processes the discourse fragments of similar size exemplifying three narrative types of adventure fiction literature, with the total sample size of 55,000 characters. General statistics analysis allowed revealing the absolute and relative parameter values in three discourse fragments and defining the relative parametric activity of single parameters and parameter levels. Analysis of variance helped define the correlation indices of parameter paired combinations, which resulted in detecting significant binary parameter groups . Individual parameter values and their binary groups served to construe the vector-space models of discourse and text linguistic creativity for the discourse narrative types under consideration. Thus, the author obtained an efficient instrument for discourse linguistic creativity evaluation and, furthermore, for assessing the potential of each individual text in terms of displaying stronger or weaker correlation with the vector coordinates of the discourse linguistic creativity vector-space model. With the frequency and variance analysis, the author disclosed two types of discourse linguistic creativity performance techniques, that is the individual parameter activation and the parameter synchronization. Both must be considered when the decision on linguistic creativity assessment in a concrete text is made. The resulting model shows that the parameter values of linguistic creativity in individual texts can manifest themselves in appearing both higher and lower than the reference parameter values of discourse creativity, which can contribute to disclosing new directions in creativity processing and understanding.

Full textAbstract:
Social movements taken up in children's literature since the 1960s have foregrounded the ethical concerns of changing societies in a range of areas that includes environmental and ecological issues. While philosophers align ethical responsibility with a need to be impartial, fiction will routinely violate impartiality because of social and emotional attachments deemed desirable for personal and general well-being. Such attachments are rendered strongly in children's fiction because of the textual dominance of heavy character focalisation in both first person and third person narratives, and thence a basis for reader response analogous to an interpersonal relationship. Questions of ethics, attachment and representation come together in a recent strand, or sub-genre, in environmental literature in which issues in environmental ethics are explored by constructing a parallel between ecoconsciousness and interpersonal human relationships of various types according to the age of the participant characters. A common narrative strategy in such texts is to construct parallel narratives underpinned by a metonymic interrelationship, whereby threatened or damaged nature is matched by threatened or damaged lives. The thematic outcome blends an interweaving of nature and culture with a more pragmatic environmentalism than usually pertains in children's texts.

Full textAbstract:
Philippa Mein Smith's reference to the official marketing advice that "everything tastes better with cream," reflected a 1950s' abundance: eggs and produce, full employment (for men), and the baby boom, which "boosted the market for children's toys and obliged fathers to build sandpits to encourage creative toddler play." In professional architecture, a confident modernism of curtain walling, air conditioning and prefabrication might have looked, on the surface, to have been counter to a cream-laden Pavlovian mentality, but there appears to be no shyness regarding construction innovation and technological advancement.

Full textAbstract:
I denna magisteruppsats undersöks Julia Donaldsons engelska bilderböcker i svensk översättning av barnboksförfattaren Lennart Hellsing. Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att avgöra om de svenska måltexterna även bär drag av Hellsings egen författarstil. För att kunna undersöka detta har Kårelands tidigare forskning (2002) om Hellsings litterära produktion använts för att ta fram stilvariabler. Dessa stilvariabler har sedan applicerats på måltexterna i denna fallstudie. Det teoretiska ramverket orienterar sig inom deskriptiv översättningsvetenskap och Tourys (1995) modell för rekonstruktion av översättningsnormer används. Detta möjliggör placerandet av källtexter (KT) och måltexter (MT) i en sociokulturell kontext. I den deskriptiva analysen jämförs KT med MT och översättning som begrepp förstås som något som omgärdas av översättningsnormer vid en viss tidpunkt och inom en viss kultur. Resultaten visar att Hellsings stil som författare återfanns i de översatta texterna och resultaten pekar även mot att översättningen av dessa texter kan ses som en acceptansinriktad praktik.This master’s thesis looks at the translation of Julia Donaldson’s English picture books into Swedish by the Swedish children’s author Lennart Hellsing. The main aim of the study is to determine whether the translation of the original (source) texts involves the transference of Hellsing’s writing style into the translated (target) texts. Earlier research, carried out by Kåreland (2002), is employed in order to pinpoint Hellsing’s distinctive style as a writer. The style variables apparent in Hellsing’s own writing were thereby identified and these are applied to the analysed target texts in this case study. The theoretical framework is based on descriptive translation studies (DTS) and the use of Toury’s model (1995) for reconstructing translational norms allows the source texts (ST) and target texts (TT) to be put into a sociocultural context. By working within this framework a descriptive analysis is used to describe and compare the ST and TT and the concept of translation as a practice governed by certain translational norms at a certain moment in time and within a certain culture is applied. The findings show that Hellsing’s style as a writer can also be detected in his translations of Donaldson’s picture books. The results of this case study also indicate that the translation of these texts can be considered to be a target culture oriented practice.

Full textAbstract:
The second chapter explores how nineteenth-century parenting publications shaped popular narratives of babyhood and baby care. A critical analysis of the power of the print media in producing as well as spreading rapidly commodified advice material allows us to reconsider the still persistent phenomenon of competing books on babies in its historical context. The expanding market of expert instructions reconfigured images of babyhood, codifying the baby as a source of anxiety that required clinical knowledge and intervention. Women writers of popular childrearing manuals such as Eliza Warren, the main rival of the bestselling Isabella Beeton, packaged infant care advice in narratives, at once trading on and endeavouring to reshape this market. A crucial link between putatively professional, systematically presented, parenting instructions and the interpolation of infant care advice in popular fiction, Warren’s full-scale childrearing manual in narrative form, How I Managed My Children from Infancy to Marriage (1865), provides a test case of the shifting focus on personal experience and new expert knowledge in the selling of parenting publications. Since the nineteenth-century market for these publications was informed by a general move to hands-on, practical advice, Warren’s strategies in creating her authorial persona to market a mother’s experience formed a symptomatic and influential component in the impact of advice literature both on perceptions of baby care and on the literary baby.

This chapter discusses the development of children’s policy in the final years of the Labour Government after Gordon Brown became Prime Minister and his close ally Ed Balls was appointed Secretary of State in the renamed Department for Children, Schools and Families. The subsequent publication of the Children’s Plan effectively marked a relaunch of the ECM reform programme placing it on equal footing with the Department’s more established education policy agenda. Furthermore, Blair’s authoritarian perspective on crime and anti-social behaviour was superseded by a stronger focus on early intervention and the provision of positive activities for young people. However, competition from a resurgent Conservative Party under the leadership of David Cameron placed new pressures on the Labour Government in the run-up to the 2010 general election. Moreover, it is argued that Cameron’s used the Baby P scandal of late 2008 to highlight Labour’s neglect of child protection and social work and promote the Conservatives’ ‘Broken Britain’ narrative on social policy.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the tension between intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational conflict in children's and young adult fiction from two theoretical perspectives: bio-psychological and aesthetic. The former approach employs the framework of evolutionary literary studies to explore intergenerational relationships in a broad evolutionary perspective, that is, considering why child/adult hierarchies are portrayed the way they are, in arts in general and in children’s literature in particular. The main reason is that children and adults have different evolutionary goals, which is duly reflected in fiction. From the aesthetic point of view, the whole premise of children's literature is a generation conflict. In plot construction, the primary role of parents in children’s literature is to be absent, preferably dead, which allows child protagonists agency generally unavailable to real children. The primary role of parents in young adult fiction is to be the target of parental revolt. Between these two categories, there is not much room for intergenerational solidarity on the structural level, and intergenerational solidarity is a contradiction in terms.

The first part of the chapter surveys how love fared in the film and literary fiction of the period, including the scandalous pre-Code film Baby Face, John O’Hara’s BUtterfield 8, and Mary McCarthy’s The Company She Keeps. In those works, love is a lost cause, mired in a cauldron of selfishness, venereal disease, and general tawdriness that reflected the hard times love had fallen on during the decade. After this survey of 1930s sordidness and lovelessness, the chapter offers a theory as to why so many writers and, for a time, the culture at large may have suddenly lost faith in love. (In short, the economy did it.) Its final take on the decade is that heterosexual love, like the economy with which its fate so closely intertwined, eventually recovered from the Depression that it, too, had been thrown into.
