Full textAbstract:
This research presented the stylistic analysis of a poem by Maya Angelou, Equality. The poem was chosen as it became Angelou’s one of well-known poems. The Stylistic analysis aimed at comprehending the meanings of either literary or non-literary text by means of observing the language device used in the texts. In this article, the stylistic analysis was conducted to analyze Maya Angelou’s Equality. To achieve the goal of stylistic analysis, there were some language levels to observe; they were phonological, graphological, grammatical, and semantic levels. In the phonological level, the repetition of rhyme in some stanzas, assonance, consonance, and alliteration were used to voice Angelou’s dream about freedom for black people. In the graphological level, the use of prominent punctuation in stanzas 3, 6, and 9 stressed equality as the requirement for the freedom she expected. In the grammatical level, Angelou used pronoun I and you as the dominant words in the poem, revealed different class the poet experienced in the country. The use of metaphors in the poem brought the same meaning as freedom, voice, effort, and racism that black people experienced in America. This research concludes that stylistics applies to analyze literary work so that thorough appreciation to it can be achieved.

Full textAbstract:
The problem in this thesis is feminism in education, occupation and social as seen in Maya Angelou’s poems. Feminism is the struggle of movement women rights in economic, education, occupation, politic, social and different culture with men. In these poems, having the theme like struggle rights of women, women rights in self-confidence, hidden beauty, although the skills of her own feels more superior than men
The finding in this analysis is 1). Angelou wants to voice the women must be more educated that can stand in patriarchal society, in basically women must get the rights equality in education like men. 2). Angelou wants to voice the women must get rights equality in occupation, like equality wages between men and women. 3). Angelou wants to voice nobody can do insult in physical or non-physical. In basically, degree of human its same front of Allah and society.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presented the stylistic analysis of a poem by Maya Angelou, “Woman Work”. This stylistic analysis focused on analyzing two language levels, phonology and syntax, covering the study of sound repetition, transitivity, and pronoun. The phonological features employed in the poem were assonance and consonance. On the other hand, the syntactic features were in the form of material processes that described the works of a woman. The employment of pronoun referred to the poet and nature. This analysis found that Angelou positioned nature as an essential part of a woman's life as it helped her to provide a living to her family. Further, nature was placed as an Actor that helped her face her world as a woman. This paper concludes that stylistics is applicable to analyse literary works in an objective way as it provides the hard data. Keywords: stylistics, poem, woman, Angelou

Full textAbstract:
This psychobiography focuses on meaning making in the early life and young adulthood of acclaimed African American author Maya Angelou (1928-2014) through the lens of Frankl’s existential psychology with a specific focus on the tri-dimensional nature of human beings and the fundamental triad. The primary data source was Angelou’s own published autobiographies, which contain an in-depth narrative of her early life and young adulthood. Data was extracted, organised and analysed according to established qualitative research methods as well as through the identification of psychological saliences. The search for meaning within Angelou’s own narrative of her life was clearly apparent in the thematic analysis. Angelou’s narrative of her journey through the physical (childhood and adolescence), psychological (travelling and searching years) and spiritual (sensemaking years) dimensions was core to her meaning making. The three tiers of the fundamental triad (awareness of meaning, will to meaning, freedom of will) were present in various aspects of Angelou’s existential journey, manifesting as a focus on choice, responsibility, purpose, and acceptance. This study provides a more in-depth understanding of meaning making processes in the lives of extraordinary individuals, as well as contributing to the development of the research method of psychobiography, with a specific focus on meaning making.

Full textAbstract:
For certain, one does not need to be a colossal voracious reader as to arriving at what Maya Angelou is driving at in virtually all her works. Of course, Maya is not just a fantastic poet but also a renowned storyteller, a fearless activist, a peculiar autobiographer, a gifted singer and playwright whose works generally provoke some sort of empowering flash of thoughts in that they are mostly soused in a struggle to overcome prejudice and injustice. As a matter of fact, Maya Angelou’s works are evidently frontal and a host of them have been literarily torn in and out. Hence they are glaringly a projection of self-awareness even in the face of oppression. It is on this stroke that this present study seeks to dig deep into the most confrontational work of Maya Angelou, her assertive but reliant poem “Still I Rise” so as to come by other extra-linguistic significations therein. And when a study tends to incorporate other varying meanings in a particular data in relation to context, it is, presumably, under the purview of pragmatics whose preoccupation is to accentuate meaning on context basis. But pragmatics is such broad a discipline with several frameworks. Therefore, even though this paper is going to be very much encompassing in the course of this study, its object of attention is to pragmatically study just a fraction of Maya Angelou’s works, her poem “Still I Rise” to be precise with a viable context-based theory, Sperber and Wilson’s Relevance Theory.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Maya Angelou as a powerful African-American woman in the twentieth century who impacted generations of African Americans. Her biographies and selected works speak strongly and wisely about gender and racial empowerment. This empowerment was sown in her childhood and could be traced throughout her life. It is also a fact that seldom does the realization of one’s race and gender take place at such an early age as with Maya Angelou. She was highly marginalized not only in terms of gender but also in terms of race with acute consciousness.

At last we attempt to a work of analysis of the books where we point out important items and discuss the characters´ course towards self-acceptance.

This study aims at investigating the autobiography The Heart of a Woman (1981), by Maya Angelou, written under the discoursive strategies of a testimonial. One considers the discussions of both cultural identity (HALL, 2006), and liquid post-modernity (BAUMAN, 2001) in order to demonstrate the multiple identity of Maya Angelou, who is immersed into subjectivity. One also refers to both self-writing, and life stories statements presented by Foucault (1992), and Bourdieu (1996). Such authors discuss the quests of illusion upon writing autobiographical genres, once that they are not referred to referential point of views. Starting from concepts of autobiographies in the testimonial format, presented by authors, such as: Nara Araújo (1994), George Yúdice (1992), Joanne Braxton (1989), and Lyman Hagen (1997), one perceives that the autobiography herein referred to lies on discoursive strategies of chronicled testimonials, which is under the perspective of black women writing. These testimonials certify a register of memories in the text. Moreover, one observes a narrative aesthetics which dialogues with terms of music, for instance, rhythm, in The Heart of a Woman. On being so, one searches for a methodological approach which meets the aims before mentioned in authors, such as: Steven Paul Scher (1992), and Solange de Oliveira (2002) due to this rhythmic narrative. To do so, one uses elements of both textuality, and stilystics in language.
Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de investigar a autobiografia The Heart of a Woman (1981), de Maya Angelou, escrita sob a discursividade do testemunho. Ao se utilizar das discussões sobre a identidade cultural (HALL, 2006) e da pós-modernidade líquida (BAUMAN, 2001), espera-se demonstrar a multiplicidade identitária de Maya Angelou imersa em suas marcas de subjetividade. Cabendo, ainda, a égide da escrita de si e das histórias de vida, teóricos como Foucault (1992) e Bourdieu (1996) problematizam a questão da ilusão de se escrever gêneros autobiográficos sob o viés da referencialidade. A partir dos conceitos de autobiografias de testemunho de autores como Nara Araújo (1994), George Yúdice (1992), Joanne Braxton (1989) e Lyman Hagen (1997), percebe-se que a autobiografia mencionada se estabelece na discursividade do testemunho em crônicas, sob a vertente da escrita de mulher negra que imprime um registro memorialístico no texto. Ademais, observa-se em The Heart of a Woman uma estética de narrativa que dialoga com a musicalidade. Desta forma, busca-se em autores como Steven Paul Scher (1992) e Solange de Oliveira (2002) uma abordagem metodológica de investigação de modo a demonstrar esta narrativa de ritmos, através da textualidade e do uso de elementos estilísticos da língua.

Full textAbstract:
Fuel cells are often credited for being quieter, cleaner, more reliable and more efficient than traditional power plants. They may be used as the primary source of power or as a back-up system with significant benefits. They have potential for producing financial savings when used to produce electricity. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of using a 250-kW stationary fuel cell system as the primary provider of electrical power at an industrial facility. Additionally, the cost and payback period for such a system including hook up and maintenance were estimated. The biggest drawback to stationary fuel cells is the high initial cost. However, coupled with incentives such as rebates and cogeneration opportunities, select locations in the country may be suitable candidates for implementation. In addition, the type of application and power load cycle are key factors in selecting an appropriate fuel cell type. Most fuel cells favor operating continuously as they are not designed to withstand intermittently changing loads and their efficiencies and life time drop if they are cycled on and off. The only currently viable option is to select a facility located in a “fuel cell friendly” state with a minimum (base) electric demand of 250 kW, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. The fuel cell would operate based on a “base load strategy”, providing electrical/thermal energy at a constant rate. A detailed economic analysis was carried out. It indicates that the payback period for a currently available large stationary fuel cell system installed in California is over 20 years in Los Angeles and about 15 years outside Los Angeles. This is primarily due to lower electric rates in Los Angeles. Despite multi-year programs providing various funding to assist this new technology, without significant cost reduction by fuel cell developers, no large-scale economic deployment of stationary fuel cells will be viable.

Full textAbstract:
Natural ventilation is one of the primary strategies for buildings in hot and mild climatic regions to reduce building cooling energy requirement. This paper uses a building energy simulation program and a computational fluid dynamics program to investigate the influence of building scales on building cooling energy consumption with and without natural ventilation. The study examines the energy performance of buildings with different L/W and H/W ratios in both Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA. The simulation results show the varying trends of natural ventilation potential with increased building scale ratio of L/W and H/W. The comparison of the predicted energy consumptions for twenty buildings discloses the most energy-efficient building scales for rectangular-shape buildings in both hot and mild climates with and without natural ventilation. The study indicates that natural ventilation is more effective in mild climates than in hot climates, which may save cooling energy by 50% and vent fan energy by 70%. The paper analyzes the most suitable seasons for natural ventilation in Miami and Los Angeles. Further simulations indicate that extra cooling benefits associated with more natural ventilation cannot compensate additional heat gains through larger windows.

Full textAbstract:
While solar energy provides a source for passive space heating across a variety of climates, other ambient energy sources may be more appropriate for passive space cooling. These ambient resources include ambient air at dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures, ground temperature at locations where the soil is cooler than the indoor comfort temperature, and night-sky radiant temperature, which is substantially lower than ambient air in most climates. The focus of this study was on comparing these sources to cooling loads across climates in the US. Using a degree-day approach, annual cooling potentials were calculated for over 800 TMY3 locations. Color-themed maps for each ambient source at several indoor comfort temperature ranges were constructed as visual references for design purposes. In addition, eight US cities (Denver, CO, Los Angeles, CA, Louisville, KY, Madison, WI, Miami, FL, New Orleans, LA, Phoenix, AZ and Washington DC) were selected to represent a range of climate characteristics, including seasonal ambient temperature, diurnal temperature swings, humidity and sky clearness. For each city, an ambient potential to cooling load ratio (ALR) was calculated, with the potential based on an indoor comfort temperature range of 68°F – 72°F and the load calculated with a base temperature of 65°F. ALR, which neglects phase lags between source and load and the associated need for thermal storage, exceeded one for dry-bulb air and for ground temperature for all locations except Miami, New Orleans and Phoenix. Wet-bulb ALR exceeded one for all locations except Miami, and sky ALR exceeded one for all locations. Finally, the effect of limited thermal storage was estimated by calculating daily ambient source fraction, fas, which is the daily ambient cooling potential divided by the daily cooling load. fas thus approximates the cooling potential of systems with one day’s worth of thermal storage, and has an upper limit of one. Fas, the annual sum of fas, equaled one for ground temperature for Los Angeles and Madison and for sky temperature for Denver and Los Angeles. Fas for ground temperature was above 0.9 for all locations except Miami, New Orleans and Phoenix. Fas for sky temperature exceeded 0.6 for all locations. By utilizing all possible combinations of ambient sources, half of the selected locations attained Fas equal to one and the minimum for all locations still exceeded 0.65.

Full textAbstract:
A new structure of artificial joints with bionic joint capsule was proposed and designed to overcome the feedback of current prostheses that omitted many functions of lubricant and joint capsule. The new structure was composed of three components: therapeutic lubricant, artificial joints and artificial joint capsule. The lubricant sealed by capsule not only can reduce the wear of artificial joints but also can prohibit the wear particles leaking to the body liquid. So the unwilling reactions between the wear particles and liquid may be avoided completely. Meanwhile, a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis (FEA) model was created for the bionic artificial joints with joint capsule. The effects of capsule thickness and the flexion angels on the stress values and distributions were discussed in detail.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Balcony deterioration is a well-recognized issue in residential buildings. If not properly maintained, such deterioration may further develop, leading to reduced load bearing capacity and service life. In recent years, a number of accidents related to balcony failures were reported worldwide, for instance, Chicago, Berkeley, Los Angeles, France, Queensland and Australia. In 2016, a case of balcony falling has attracted serious concerns from the Danish authority regarding the overall balcony conditions in the country. Today there is still a lack of national guideline on balcony condition assessment and it is up to the building owner to ensure their balconies have the sufficient load bearing capacity. To prevent future occurrence of balcony failures, property owners need knowledge on their balconies to detect early signs of damages. In this context, this study selected six residential areas in Copenhagen to examine the actual conditions of balconies. The areas are chosen from different time periods to represent a reasonable coverage of mixed building and balcony types. The collected information, including classification of damages and their degradation levels, is useful for decision making in the asset management.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The amount of maritime cargo has been increasing for several decades. However, most seafarers have been shifting from lifetime employment to temporary employment. This may result in the ships lacking the adept techniques of seafarers, which significantly increases the reliance and importance of operational support systems. There are many studies on optimal ship routing, but its accuracy has not been discussed sufficiently. Especially, the grid point value on the weather database is the most important factor to discuss regarding its accuracy. In the field of meteorology, these databases have been improved to include global data in recent decades. In this study, the simulation results are compared to know the influence to the accuracy if the spatial and time resolutions vary in each condition. Optimal ship routing is computed using the isochrone method, which is one of the major methods of route analysis. Numerical simulations are conducted for a container ship between Tokyo and Los Angeles, with the weather databases of National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is known that there are no significant differences between each resolution setting. However, the optimal voyage routes are different if the ship avoids high waves or strong winds in any direction. The accuracy is more influenced by the maneuverability in rough seas than the spatial and time resolutions of the weather databases. Accordingly, optimal ship routing must consider the actual maneuvering and speed loss theories, besides the development of a meteorological database.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the sharp drop in transit ridership throughout the USA that began in March 2020, two different uses of land near transit stations continue to be implemented in the United States to promote ridership. Since 2010, transit agencies have given priority to multi-family residential construction referred to as transit oriented development (TOD), with an emphasis on housing affordability. In second place for urban planners but popular with suburban commuters is free or inexpensive parking near rail or bus transit centers, known as park-and-ride (PnR). Sometimes, TOD and PnR are combined in the same development. Public policy seeks to gain high community value from both of these land uses, and there is public interest in understanding the circumstances and locations where one of these two uses should be emphasized over the other. Multiple justifications for each are offered in the professional literature and reviewed in this report. Fundamental to the strategic decision making necessary to allocate public resources toward one use or the other is a determination of the degree to which each approach generates transit ridership. In the research reported here, econometric analysis of GIS data for transit stops, PnR locations, and residential density was employed to measure their influence on transit boardings for samples of transit stops at the main transit agencies in Seattle, Los Angeles, and San José. Results from all three cities indicate that adding 100 parking spaces close to a transit stop has a larger marginal impact than adding 100 housing units. Previous academic research estimating the higher ridership generation per floor area of PnR compared to multi-family TOD housing makes this show of strength for parking an expected finding. At the same time, this report reviews several common public policy justifications for TOD as a preferred land development emphasis near transit stations, such as revenue generation for the transit agency and providing a location for below-market affordable housing where occupants do not need to have a car. If increasing ridership is important for a transit agency, then parking for customers who want to drive to a station is an important option. There may also be additional benefits for park-and-ride in responding to the ongoing pandemic.

HEFNER, Robert. IHSAN ETHICS AND POLITICAL REVITALIZATION Appreciating Muqtedar Khan’s Islam and Good Governance. IIIT, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.47816/01.001.20.
Full textAbstract:
Ours is an age of pervasive political turbulence, and the scale of the challenge requires new thinking on politics as well as public ethics for our world. In Western countries, the specter of Islamophobia, alt-right populism, along with racialized violence has shaken public confidence in long-secure assumptions rooted in democracy, diversity, and citizenship. The tragic denouement of so many of the Arab uprisings together with the ascendance of apocalyptic extremists like Daesh and Boko Haram have caused an even greater sense of alarm in large parts of the Muslim-majority world. It is against this backdrop that M.A. Muqtedar Khan has written a book of breathtaking range and ethical beauty. The author explores the history and sociology of the Muslim world, both classic and contemporary. He does so, however, not merely to chronicle the phases of its development, but to explore just why the message of compassion, mercy, and ethical beauty so prominent in the Quran and Sunna of the Prophet came over time to be displaced by a narrow legalism that emphasized jurisprudence, punishment, and social control. In the modern era, Western Orientalists and Islamists alike have pushed the juridification and interpretive reification of Islamic ethical traditions even further. Each group has asserted that the essence of Islam lies in jurisprudence (fiqh), and both have tended to imagine this legal heritage on the model of Western positive law, according to which law is authorized, codified, and enforced by a leviathan state. “Reification of Shariah and equating of Islam and Shariah has a rather emaciating effect on Islam,” Khan rightly argues. It leads its proponents to overlook “the depth and heights of Islamic faith, mysticism, philosophy or even emotions such as divine love (Muhabba)” (13). As the sociologist of Islamic law, Sami Zubaida, has similarly observed, in all these developments one sees evidence, not of a traditionalist reassertion of Muslim values, but a “triumph of Western models” of religion and state (Zubaida 2003:135). To counteract these impoverishing trends, Khan presents a far-reaching analysis that “seeks to move away from the now failed vision of Islamic states without demanding radical secularization” (2). He does so by positioning himself squarely within the ethical and mystical legacy of the Qur’an and traditions of the Prophet. As the book’s title makes clear, the key to this effort of religious recovery is “the cosmology of Ihsan and the worldview of Al-Tasawwuf, the science of Islamic mysticism” (1-2). For Islamist activists whose models of Islam have more to do with contemporary identity politics than a deep reading of Islamic traditions, Khan’s foregrounding of Ihsan may seem unfamiliar or baffling. But one of the many achievements of this book is the skill with which it plumbs the depth of scripture, classical commentaries, and tasawwuf practices to recover and confirm the ethic that lies at their heart. “The Quran promises that God is with those who do beautiful things,” the author reminds us (Khan 2019:1). The concept of Ihsan appears 191 times in 175 verses in the Quran (110). The concept is given its richest elaboration, Khan explains, in the famous hadith of the Angel Gabriel. This tradition recounts that when Gabriel appeared before the Prophet he asked, “What is Ihsan?” Both Gabriel’s question and the Prophet’s response make clear that Ihsan is an ideal at the center of the Qur’an and Sunna of the Prophet, and that it enjoins “perfection, goodness, to better, to do beautiful things and to do righteous deeds” (3). It is this cosmological ethic that Khan argues must be restored and implemented “to develop a political philosophy … that emphasizes love over law” (2). In its expansive exploration of Islamic ethics and civilization, Khan’s Islam and Good Governance will remind some readers of the late Shahab Ahmed’s remarkable book, What is Islam? The Importance of Being Islamic (Ahmed 2016). Both are works of impressive range and spiritual depth. But whereas Ahmed stood in the humanities wing of Islamic studies, Khan is an intellectual polymath who moves easily across the Islamic sciences, social theory, and comparative politics. He brings the full weight of his effort to conclusion with policy recommendations for how “to combine Sufism with political theory” (6), and to do so in a way that recommends specific “Islamic principles that encourage good governance, and politics in pursuit of goodness” (8).
