Abstract:
Purpose This quantitative study aims to examine background motives that navigate individuals to share their opinions, in the context of an individual’s post-vacation phase and its relation to the destination of Serbia, from the standpoint of age, gender and nationality. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected throughout six weeks via a self-administered Web survey. The survey was adopted and based on the scale developed by Bronner and de Hoog (2011). Findings Results indicate that the dominant driver to submit an online review after a trip is to help vacationers (altruism) and that men and women display differences in this, but not in other motives. Both age and nationality do not influence the particular motive to leave an online review. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this study is the total number of answers. However, sampling was rather purposive, which gives us a good indicator of the population behavior. Practical implications Understanding these drivers is essential in formulating strategies for managing the interaction with opinion leaders. On a larger scale, the results can contribute the market segmentation and customer communication approaches in Serbian tourism marketing. Originality/value Motives that trigger individuals to compose an online review have not been investigated and thematic studies are still missing, in the case of Serbia in particular.

Abstract:
Abstract To facilitate the learning of writing of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a setting that is inclusive, it is instructive to examine writing difficulties from a strength-based perspective by looking at the meanings students give to writing activities. This qualitative study explored the meanings and motives for writing of two 14-year-olds with ASD through their writing activities both in and out of school. Data were collected through interviews and filmed participant observation. The data analyses were cross-referenced to understand the students' motives for writing. This study suggests that bridges can be created between students' motives for writing in school and out of school. Our findings pave the way to new approaches in teaching writing in schools.

Abstract:
This article describes a project that dramatizes two ways in which writing is motivated by readers. A university introductory psychology class wrote a booklet about psychology for a Grade 9 English class. The two groups of students began with vastly different notions of psychology, and it was this conflict of belief between writers and readers that motivated the writing in the first place. Later, the younger students made editorial comments on and responded to the first draft of the booklet. The difference between intended and actual effects now motivated the psychology students to revise their work. The article concludes with a discussion of some issues involved in helping students become more authoritative writers.

Abstract:
Popular literature is close to students and can be used as a starting point to high literature; by using similarities in motives, which exist in simplified, and schematic way in the popular literature, and which are deepened, and ambiguously understood in the high literature. The starting point are ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins and the motives of utopia and dystopia occurring in it. This writing is collated with the poem ‘Utopia’ written by Wisława Szymborska in order to make a deeper analysis of the utopian motive.

Abstract:
Globalization synonymous with changes in all sociocultural aspects of human life, including languages. The use of local languages as a medium of communication shifted by the national language and English that became dominant. The local language seems to be a rare item, as it is not easy to find families who teach local languages to their children. Attempts to maintain the local language never stop. One of them is through writing. A number of writers in Bandung still write in Sundanese, although quantitatively, the readers are few. This study aims to reveal the motives of 8 writers produce writing in Sundanese and how their efforts to keep generating ideas for their writing. Based on the qualitative-phenomenology method used, this study reveals, the motives of the writers to produce works in Sundanese is the idealism as individuals born and raised in the Sundanese society. They feel they have a responsibility to maintain the existence of Sundanese in the community of native speakers. To keep writing on, they do not rely on personal experience as the idea. They also made an adaptation to the information technology by using social media to spread Sundanese language writings broadly.Keywords: globalization; Sundanese; Sundanese writer; idealism; social media; preservation.

Abstract:
Writing groups have been gaining attention as a new approach to doctoral education to cater to students and supervisors’ diversified needs emerging from the globalisation of higher education. However, the relationships between the main activity of these groups, oral interactions, and participants’ learning remain unexplored. To fill this gap, this study investigates the processes of one multilingual PhD student’s genre learning through oral interaction in a 10-week writing group at an Australian university. Data were collected through observation and audio recordings of meetings, written drafts, and interviews with the student and a facilitator. As mediating artefacts, writing group oral interactions were closely examined with reference to the student’s motives and her subsequent writing. Specifically they were analysed for the means of scaffolding and the student’s response patterns. The findings suggest the influence of the student’s motives on her participation in the activity of the writing group as well as her decisions on how to deal with the scaffolding she received. The findings reveal dynamic relationships between motives, scaffolding, and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), and shed new light on the facilitative role of learners’ responses to scaffolding. The article concludes with pedagogical implications for oral feedback sessions in classrooms and writing groups.

Abstract:
Abstract‘Motive’ or ‘motif’ has long been a familiar term in writing about music, not least because many writers enjoy the word-play available when a composer's possible motivation for inventing and elaborating specific motivic materials is under discussion. The extent to which motives reach beyond melody into harmony has arguably become a more conscious concern of composers who have moved beyond traditional tonality, and some of the consequences of such concerns are considered here, in relation to recent works by two leading British composers, George Benjamin (b. 1960) and his one-time student Christian Mason (b. 1984).

Abstract:
This research aimed to find out English Department students’ intrinsic learning motive in studying Grammar. Students could not apply correct Grammar in speaking and writing, many students repeated grammar subject, and remedial teaching was conducted. Those problems indicate that students have problems concerning about their motive in studying Grammar. This research is a composite of quantitative and qualitative research by using explanatory sequential design”. The participants of the research were all students of FKIP, Bung Hatta Univeristy. The instruments to collect the data were questionnaire, interview, and observation. The technique of data analysis was initiated by calculating the mean of each questionnaire items as the quantitative data. Qualitative data analysis wasgained from the result of the interview and observation. The result gained from the quantitative and qualitative data analysis was interpreted, and research finding was gained. The finding of the research shows that the tendency of students’ intrinsic learning motives are for utilizing Grammar knowledge in order to get a good job and gaining score compared to the motives of gaining Grammar knowledge and developing Grammar knowledge

Full text
Abstract:
This article goes into the intentions and motives behind De veritate (1627), famous apologetic work by the Dutch humanist and jurisconsult Hugo Grotius (1583-1645). De veritate will be compared with two other seminal works written by Grotius, De iure belli ac pacis (1625) and the Annotationes in Novum Testamentum (1641-1650). The focus will be on one particular aspect that comes to the fore in all three works: the way Grotius reduced the Christian faith to a minimal religion by singling out the essential tenets this faith had in common with other religions. The core of Grotius’s argumentation consists in the idea that believers and, in particular, civil authorities have to distinguish between a few essential religious tenets that could be made rationally acceptable, and a set of supernatural dogmas, derived from divine revelation, that did not pass a certain, albeit very high degree of probability. As far as the second category was concerned, civil tolerance was called for. As becomes clear from contemporary correspondences, Grotius did not develop these rather controversial ideas in an intellectual vacuum. During his exile in Paris, he fostered contacts with members of the circle that formed around the French monk Marin Mersenne (1588-1648). This circle functioned as a kind of hothouse for the development of a minimal Christian creed. Members of this group saw promotion of a minimal creed as a solution to current religious controversies and the ensuing political turmoil and (civil) war, which were abhorred for their detrimental effects on the advancement of learning in the first place. On the other hand, it is also apparent that overt adherence to such an ideal was considered to be dangerous, because it would at least evoke the embarrassing and even repressive attention of the authorities in Church and government. An additional problem was that by defending such a religious stance, members of Mersenne’s circle laid themselves open to accusations of endorsing ‘rational beliefs’ like Socinianism, generally considered to be the worst heresy among all Christian denominations.

Abstract:
Throughout university, students are required to complete complex writing tasks that involve a host of cognitive and metacognitive strategies, yet little is known about the differences in students' approach to the writing process. In particular, the role of students' beliefs about knowledge and achievement motivation has been largely overlooked. The present study aimed to address this gap by examining relations between students' epistemic beliefs, achievement goals, and self-reported writing strategies. University students completed several questionnaires (N = 98) and participated in an interview (N = 26). Quantitative analyses revealed that constructivist beliefs, performance-approach goals, and self-reported metacognitive strategies were significant positive predictors of writing achievement; however, the amount of variance accounted for in the model was modest. Qualitative analyses indicated that students with a mastery goal activated a more constructivist epistemic stance for writing, which allowed for creativity and deep processing, but possibly jeopardized their performance on writing tasks. In contrast, students with a performance goal for writing reported a less constructivist stance for writing and instead emphasized the importance of tailoring their efforts to meet the preferences of the instructor. Findings from this research have important implications for education, such as the design of instructions and grading criteria for writing assignments. With knowledge of the relations between motivational goals, knowledge beliefs, and writing strategies, instructors may be better equipped to help students refine their writing skills.
Durant leurs études universitaires, les étudiants utilisent des stratégies cognitives et métacognitives afin de compléter des tâches d`écritures complexes; toutefois, très peu est connu en ce qui concerne les différentes approches des étudiants envers le processus de l`écriture. En particulier, le rôle de leurs croyances envers les connaissances en plus de leurs motivations de réussite académique à été négligé. Cette étude vise à addresser ce problème en examinant les relations entre leurs croyances, motivations, et stratégies d`écritures. Des étudiants universitaires ont complétés le questionnaire (N = 98) et participés dans un entrevu (N = 26). Les analyses quantitatives démontrent que des croyances constructivistes, des buts de performance, et des stratégies métacognitives et auto-régulatrices sont des prédicteurs significatifs de leurs performances d`écritures; toutefois, le modèle explique qu`un faible pourcentage de variance. Les analyses qualitatives démontrent que les étudiants qui ont des buts de maîtrise ont d`avantages de croyances constructivistes pour l`écriture, ce qui leur permet d`être créatifs et pensifs aux détriments de leurs performances. Par comparaison, les étudiants avec des buts de performance pour l`écriture ont rapportés avoir moins de croyances constructives mais ont mentionnés faire des efforts pour atteindre les préférences de l`instructeur. Les résultats de cette étude ont d`importantes implications pour l`éducation, notamment le développement d`instructions et critères pour la correction de tâches d`écritures. En plus, la connaissance des relations entre les buts motivationnels, les croyances épistémiques, et les stratégies d`écritures, les enseignants sont mieux equipés afin d`assister les étudiants à améliorer leurs habiletés d`écritures.

A análise de dois romances de Rachel Jardim, Vazio pleno: relatório do cotidiano (1976) e Inventário das cinzas (1980), demonstra a ênfase das obras em um caráter intimista. Tal aspecto se manifesta por meio da exploração do espaço biográfico – o qual se evidencia nas implicações da incorporação na diegese de traços autobiográficos – e também se exprime através dos elementos que instauram uma dialética entre o binômio exterior/interior. Este estudo é baseado no levantamento e na análise de elementos estruturais e de temas comuns às obras, o que promoveu a elaboração de um processo metodológico projetado sobre a distribuição dos dados em “células” e “motivos”. Esses motivos convergem para dois grandes blocos, chamados “células”, que, juntos, formam um mosaico de assuntos itemizados os quais orbitam o intimismo. A análise detalhada das duas células é distribuída em dois capítulos com os títulos de Traços autobiográficos e A dialética exterior/interior. Em vista de que o conceito de intimismo, ainda pouco explorado pela historiografia literária brasileira, recebe diferentes nomenclaturas, busco defini-lo, bem como delimitar as suas principais características. Enfoco, também, de que forma o romance de artista e alguns aspectos atinentes à estética romântica, associados à escrita do eu, emolduram o corpus, sobretudo no que respeita à tematização dos processos que envolvem a leitura e a escrita literárias. A análise fundamenta-se em conceitos fornecidos pela Teoria Literária e reflexões de distintos teóricos, não só no que concerne ao intimismo na Literatura Brasileira, mas também ao espaço ocupado por Rachel Jardim na História da Literatura Brasileira. Os procedimentos analíticos mostram o vínculo das obras de Rachel Jardim estudadas com o veio intimista no âmbito do sistema literário brasileiro.
The analysis of two novels by Rachel Jardim, Vazio pleno: relatório do cotidiano (1976) e Inventário das cinzas (1980) aims at demonstrating the emphasis of these works on an intimist character. Such an aspect arises throughout the exploration of the biographical space – which becomes evident in the implications of the incorporation of autobiographical traces in the narrative tissue – and also springs up throughout the elements that establish a dialectical relationship within the pair exterior/interior. The present work is based on the survey and the analysis of structural elements and common themes found in the two novels, fact that supported the elaboration of a methodological process designed on the distribution of the data in “cells” and “motives”. These motives are gathered in two blocks, called “cells”, which unite to form a mosaic made of itemized matters that revolve around intimacy. The detailed analysis of the two cells is distributed in two chapters under the titles of Traços autobiográgicos and A dialética exterior/interior. Due to the fact that the concept of intimacy, still slightly investigated by the literary Brazilian historiography, receives many different names, we look forward to its definition as well as to the demarcation of its main features. We also focus on the ways the artist novel and some principles of the Romantic aesthetics related to the writing of the “I” frame the corpus mainly in what concerns the thematization of the pertinent procedures linked to the literary acts of reading and writing. The analysis is grounded on concepts taken from the Literary Theory and from distinct theorist ́s stands not only in what concerns to intimacy in Brazilian Literature but also related to Rachel Jardim ́s place within the Brazilian literary history. The analytical proceedings show the connection between Rachel Jardim ́s works and the intimist thread in literature within the scope of the literary Brazilian system.

Abstract:
This paper centres in and around words. I have incorporated words into my recent work in a variety of ways including drawing, Letraset, sound and fiction writing. The philosophical questions which arise through any use of language and the various ways of adopting these questions and words within a 'visual art' context is considered in a number of ways. These include The Voyager Interstellar Space Mission which was humankind's first attempt to communicate with other hypothesized populations, conceptual word-incorporating artists, writers of fiction and philosophers within whose work can readily be found an extreme vigilance towards language. Alongside this word exploration I will consider other processes through which I've made and continue to make, works of art. These processes include drawing and film/video. My drawings (which sometimes include words) will be addressed in terms of a crossover between the drawn line and words found in Raymond Carver's story Cathedral. This story made me think about what it means to 'be led' by somebody and how I'm led (by myself or perhaps those mysterious 'populations' the Voyager team of thinkers had in mind) when drawing. It also marks an interesting point in my discussion of a state of being 'without words.' In addition to words an important focus in this paper are the windows through which I've spent a lot of 'my life' looking at 'life pass by' (which are in many ways a physical reality corresponding to the metaphorical 'frame of language'). The time I've spent looking out windows over the past few years has resulted in. several film and video pieces in addition to my latest work (presented as the appendix of this paper) which comprises of a series of short stories. The paper opens with a quote by German philosopher Martin Heidegger: "Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells." The enigmatic broadness of this statement is appropriate to the apprehensive and cautious attitude towards words found throughout the paper (also it mentions 'house' which immediately brings to my mind 'windows')

Abstract:

We live in an information society where we are constantly surrounded by the "written" language and therefore the demands on the individuals writing are very high. One of the issues in many schools has been how to motivate the students writing. This undergraduate thesis involves motivation and the purpose this project is to investigate how different teachers motivate their students writing. For this purpose four teachers working at the same school (grade 4-6) were interviewed. Many of the theories from the theoretical section have been used in order to understand and analyse the information gained from the teachers.

Earlier research indicates that lack of motivation blocks learning while other scientists claim that children are seeking creatures by nature and motivation is not necessary. When it comes to writing, research indicates that it is nearly always the teacher who decides what the students should write and how the text should bee. Lpo 94 advocates student influence since education should confirm the students’ demands and conditions.

Judging from the result of the teachers’ interviews one can claim factors as boring writing assignments, unclear instructions, lack of imagination, decreasing reading aloud and too much influence by computers as some of the reasons for lack of motivation concerning students’ writing. This study further indicates that although the teachers working at the same school different strategies are used for motivating students writing. Some of the teachers use pictures in order to expound on their students imagination. Others give a beginning of a text so that the students can build on it and complete the story. A constantly recurring pattern is that the teachers don’t allow their students to decide what to write about in order not to create too much confusion. Many teachers claim that lack of time is also a big problem.


Vi lever i ett kunskapssamhälle, där vi är omringade av

skriftspråket. Det i sig ställer höga krav på den enskilda individen och dennes skrivförmåga.

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att ta reda på hur olika pedagoger jobbar för att motivera omotiverade elevers skrivande, samt hur det dialogiska klassrummets vara eller icke vara påverkar skrivandet.

Undersökningen är kvalitativ då jag för att nå mitt syfte har intervjuat fyra verksamma lärare. Resultatet baserar sig på lärarnas utsagor.

Forskning visar att brist på motivation är ett hinder för inlärning samtidigt som det finns forskare som hävdar att barn av sin natur är sökande varelser, som inte behöver motiveras. När det gäller skrivning, visar forskning på att det nästan alltid är läraren som bestämmer vad som ska skrivas eller hur texten ska vara. Lpo 94 förespråkar elevinflytande, man menar att undervisningen ska utgå från deras behov och förutsättningar.

Av resultatet framgår det att lärarna ser faktorer som tråkiga skrivuppgifter, otydliga instruktioner, brist på fantasi, minskad högläsning och för mycket datoranvändning som anledning till att elever inte känner sig motiverade till att skriva. Resultatet av min undersökning visar även att lärare på samma skola använder olika strategier för att motivera elevers skrivande, bl. a. använder man sig av bilder för att eleverna ska utveckla ett beskrivande tänkande. Genom att låta eleverna skriva på berättelser, där inledningen är klar, hoppas lärarna att eleverna kommer i gång snabbare. En återkommande mönster, är att lärarna inte låter sina elever bestämma skrivämne.

Abstract:
Cette thèse vise à examiner la représentation des mémoires fictionnelles dans le cadre global de la littérature chinoise contemporaine, en montrant l’influence du déplacement et du translinguisme sur les œuvres des auteurs qui écrivent soit de la Chine continentale soit d’outre-mer, et qui s’expriment à travers des langues différentes. Les quatre romans Zha gen (Prendre racine) par Han Dong, Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise par Dai Sijie, The Crazed (La démence du sage) par Ha Jin et Rou zhi tu (Beijing Coma) par Ma Jian seront comparés en tant qu’images des mémoires individuelles de la Révolution Culturelle et du mouvement pour la démocratie qui a eu lieu à Tian’anmen en 1989. Dans la première partie, nous discuterons les nouvelles approches théoriques qui configurent la littérature chinoise contemporaine comme une entité polyglossique et déterritorialisée. Dans la deuxième partie, nous nous concentrerons sur deux exemples d’autofiction, à savoir Zha gen et Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise, en comparant leur représentation du temps figuré comme une évolution identitaire de l’individu. Dans la troisième partie, nous analyserons les deux romans The Crazed et Rou zhi tu, en mettant en évidence le caractère spatial de la mémoire, transposé en forme de témoignage fictionnel. Finalement, dans la quatrième partie, nous explorerons les interactions entre la littérature chinoise et la littérature mondiale, en plaçant les cas analysés dans une perspective translinguistique. À travers la comparaison entre les versions chinoise, anglaise et française des romans, nous montrerons comment les mémoires déterritorialisées sont modulées par la traduction et l’autotraduction
This thesis aims to investigate the representation of fictional memories in the context of global Chinese literature, showing how displacement and translingualism affect the works by authors from the Mainland and from overseas, who express their creativity in different languages. The four novels Zha gen (Striking Root) by Han Dong, Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise (Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress) by Dai Sijie, The Crazed by Ha Jin, and Rou zhi tu (Beijing Coma) by Ma Jian are compared as reflections of individual memories of the Cultural Revolution and of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The first part of the thesis addresses the new theoretical approaches configuring contemporary Chinese literature as a polyglossic and deterritorialised entity. The second part focuses on the analysis of two examples of autofictions, Zha gen and Balzac et la Petite Tailleuse chinoise, comparing their representation of time as reflected in the evolution of the individual. The third part explores the two novels The Crazed and Rou zhi tu, focusing on the spatial character of memory transposed in the form of a fictional témoignage. Finally, the fourth part investigates the interactions between Chinese literature and world literature, placing the cases analysed in a translingual perspective. The comparison between the Chinese, the English and the French versions of the novels shows how deterritorialised memories are modulated through translation and self-translation
La tesi esamina la rappresentazione narrativa della memoria nel quadro globale della letteratura cinese contemporanea, mostrando l’influenza di dislocamento e translinguismo sulle opere di autori cinesi che scrivono tanto dalla RPC quanto dall’estero, in cinese o in altre lingue.

La prima parte si incentrerà sulla discussione di nuovi approcci teorici che inquadrano la letteratura cinese come un’entità poliglossica deterritorializzata. La seconda sarà dedicata all’analisi comparata di Zha gen e Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise e metterà in evidenza la rappresentazione del tempo in termini di evoluzione identitaria dell’individuo. Nella terza parte, il paragone tra The Crazed e Rou zhi tu sottolineerà il carattere spaziale della memoria come testimonianza narrativa. La quarta parte, infine, esplorerà le interazioni tra la letteratura cinese e la letteratura mondiale da una prospettiva translinguistica. La comparazione tra le versioni in cinese, inglese e francese dei romanzi mostrerà come tali memorie deterritorializzate sono modulate dalla traduzione e dall’autotraduzione

Abstract:
A pesquisa toma a produção escrita de alunos concluintes do ensino médio como objeto de análise. Ela nasceu de minha experiência em sala de aula como professor de língua portuguesa e inglesa. A pergunta geradora recai sobre a natureza das transformações efetuadas pelo aluno no momento de \"passar a limpo\" sua redação. Mobilizando conceitos da psicanálise lacaniana, tais como alienação e separação (LACAN: 1964), conceitos da lingüística, tais como a teoria polifônica da enunciação (DUCROT: 1987) e conceitos da teoria da argumentação (PERELMAN: 2005), procurei verificar a existência de transformações lingüístico-discursivas entre o rascunho e a versão final, cuja característica principal seja a de agregar valor à argumentação que vinha sendo desenvolvida no rascunho; descrever a natureza destas transformações (caso elas existissem), que os concluintes da escola básica puderam fazer em textos produzidos em contexto formal, o de avaliação. Parti da hipótese de que escrever um texto que carregue traços de singularidade demanda um \"trabalho da escrita\" (expressão cunhada por RIOLFI: 2003). Para investigá-la, tomei como objeto de análise um corpus inicial de mil quinhentas e cinqüenta e oito redações produzidas por adolescentes no dia 10 de novembro de 2005, no SARESP - Sistema de Avaliação de Rendimento Escolar do Estado de São Paulo. Ative-me apenas às redações produzidas por alunos do terceiro ano do ensino médio, um total de duzentas e doze redações. As redações que não possuíam rascunho foram descartadas (quarenta e uma redações). Assim sendo, efetuei uma análise preliminar de cento e setenta e uma redações, tendo podido verificar que aproximadamente metade dos alunos ateve-se a aspectos puramente formais (pontuação, ortografia, acréscimo aleatório de algumas palavras, troca de algumas palavras por seus sinônimos, correção da concordância nominal e verbal etc.). Convencido de que a presença de traços de singularidade tinha alguma relação com as transformações efetuadas pelo aluno no momento de \"passar a limpo\" sua redação, pus-me a analisar a natureza de tais transformações lingüístico-discursivas. Por este motivo, efetuei um novo recorte, a partir do qual, restaram-me noventa redações, as quais constituem o corpus final da presente pesquisa. Após concluído o intrincado processo para constituir o corpus final da dissertação, uma análise minuciosa dos textos foi realizada. Ela trouxe à tona uma constatação: de um modo geral, ao alterarem o texto, os alunos atenderam a uma demanda do outro. Sendo assim, tendo constatado esta evidência, decidi selecionar apenas cinco redações a título de exemplo, as quais estão nos anexos. Portanto, a conclusão a que cheguei é a de que: ao invés de aproveitarem a oportunidade de passar um texto a limpo para empreender as alterações necessárias para sustentar um discurso próprio, os alunos preferiram reescrever o texto conformando-o aos parâmetros do que pensam ser o discurso do outro.
The research takes the writing production of pupils concluding the third grade of high school as analysis object. It had born from my experience in classroom as Portuguese and English teacher. The generating question is about the nature of transformations made by the pupil at the moment of writing his composition out neatly. Mobilizing concepts from the Psychoanalysis, such as alienation and separation (LACAN: 1964), concepts from the Linguistic, such as the Articulation Polyphonic Theory (DUCROT: 1987) and concepts from the Argument Theory (PERELMAN: 2005), I started to investigate the existence of linguisticspeech transformations between the draft and the final version, whose main characteristic is to add value to the argument that was being developed in the draft; and to describe the nature of these transformations (in case that they existed), that pupils concluding high school had been able to make in texts produced in formal context of evaluation. I began with the hypothesis that to write a text with singularity traces demands a \"work of writing\" (expression created by RIOLFI: 2003). To investigate it, I took as analysis object an initial corpus of one thousand five hundred and fifty-eight compositions produced by adolescents on November 10, 2005, at SARESP (an evaluation system of school progress in São Paulo). But I decided to study only the compositions produced by pupils of the third grade of high school, an amount of two hundred and twelve compositions. I had to discard those compositions without a draft (fortyone compositions). Then, I effected a preliminary analysis of one hundred and seventy-one compositions, by analyzing these last mentioned, I verified that about half of the students paid attention to formal aspects (punctuation, orthography, addition of some words, changes of some words for its synonyms, correction of the nominal and verbal agreement etc.). I was convinced that the presence of singularity traces had some relation with the changes made by the pupil at the moment of writing his composition out neatly, then I started to analyze the nature of such linguistic-speech transformations. For this reason, I made a new clipping, from which, remained ninety compositions that are the final corpus of the present research. After concluded the intricate process to constitute the final corpus of this dissertation, a careful analysis of the texts was made. It brought to the surface an evidence: in a general way, when modifying the text, the pupils answered a demand of the other. After I arrived at this evidence, I decided to select only five compositions as examples, they are attached at the end of this work. Therefore, the conclusion that I arrived at is: instead of using the draft as an advantage opportunity to chance the text in order to support an own speech, the pupils preferred to rewrite the text according to the parameters that\'s supposed to be the speech of the other.

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors describe four adolescent students’ participation in a digital video summer camp. They describe the students’ acquisition of moving-image composition strategies and how these processes are connected to acquiring new vocabulary. The authors examine the camp practices through a lens of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and use this perspective to guide data analysis. Through observations, interviews, and videos, they identify the various activity systems necessary to teach filmmaking, and use examples from one group to illustrate how boundary crossings shift expertise to students. The authors describe the following: (1) the “third space” (i.e., between counselor and student motives), (2) “networked space” (i.e., among different multiliteracy systems), and (3) “shifted spaces” where boundaries are not just crossed, but actually create a shift in expertise or perspective. The authors discover a mediated learning approach that helps students effectively use filmmakers’ words as tools. The camp structure is a model of apprenticeship into a discipline through its language and multiliteracies.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Nakagami's early writings and a short story titled “Rakudo” (1976). A number of prominent themes feature in his late 1960s writing. These include criticism of Japanese New Left writers, recollections of his “uneducated” half-brother's violence and suicide, and reflections on then nineteen-year-old Nagayama Norio, who shot and killed four people in 1968. First, through an analysis of nonfiction material produced by Nakagami from 1965 to 1969, the chapter profiles two elements that were frequently represented in literary production and discussed in academic writing during this period: the masses (taishū) and loss (sōshitsu). It also provides a detailed discussion on the intertextual relationship between Nakagami's late 1960s texts and the contemporaneous perspective of two Japanese critics. By referencing these scholars' texts, the chapter articulates Nakagami's motives for writing—giving representation to—hidden voices that express a sense of loss. Finally, the chapter focuses on Nakagami's short story “Rakudo.” Through reading this “autobiographical” yet fictional shōsetsu, it demonstrates how Nakagami represents the voices of a violent young husband and the silence of his battered wife.

Abstract:
In the form of a lyric essay, this chapter interrogates the motives and methods of mainstream folklore scholarship. The author identifies a variety of factors that discourage folklorists from taking more expressive chances in order to understand the specialized style that has come to dominate folklore scholarship. This hyper-professionalization of folkloristic writing has, the author argues, led to what Benjamin Botkin once called “folklorists talking to themselves or folklore in vacuo.” In order to make folklore studies resonate with a broader audience, the author calls for folkloristic writing that is more imaginative and less thesis-driven, writing that invites the curious in rather than excluding them in the name of scholarly prestige.

Abstract:
A distinction is made between part-writing and voice leading. Even though music may exhibit correct part-writing, the music may nevertheless sounds like it is meandering aimlessly: voice leading adds the sense of tending, yearning, resolution, or momentum that contributes to the feeling of music “going somewhere.” Research on melodic expectation is summarized. When the music fails to conform to expected voice movements, the music is likely to evoke a wandering or purposeless quality. Predictability transforms good part-writing into good voice leading. Predictability is increased when musical patterns follow the norms and clichés of established styles. Familiarity with a given musical work also increases predictability. For unfamiliar works, predictability is increased when music makes use of recurring or imitative figures, themes, or motives.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the nature of truth. It provides a classification of the main motives which are represented by the principal recent theories regarding the nature of truth. First, there is the motive especially suggested by the study of the history of institutions, by people's whole interest in what are called “evolutionary processes,” and by a large part of people's recent psychological investigation. This is the motive which leads many to describe human life altogether as a more or less progressive adjustment to a natural environment. The second motive is the same as that which, in ethics, is responsible for so many sorts of recent Individualism. It is the longing to be self-possessed and inwardly free, the determination to submit to no merely external authority. Meanwhile, the third motive has led to the discovery of what are novel truths regarding the fundamental relations upon which all of human thought and human activity rest.

Students learn English with certain motives. Many students seek to improve their careers, others seek to gain confidence, and others plan to live abroad. Thus, the problematic question arises: how do English language skills and learning needs of secondary school students relate to each other? The research aim is to designate the relationship between English language skills and learning needs of secondary school students. The methods of descriptive statistics were used. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was applied. Mostly the medium correlation and a weak correlation were dominated between English language skills and learning needs. The analysis disclosed that students give more priority to receptive skills ‒ reading and listening than to communicative - speaking and writing skills.

Abstract:
Abstract In recent years, highly flexible nanocomposite sensors have been developed for the detection of a variety of human body movements. To precisely detect the bending motions of human joints, the sensors must be able to conform well with the human skin and produce signals that effectively describe the amount of deformation applied to the material during bending. In this paper, a carbon nanotube-based piezoresistive strain sensor is developed via the direct ink writing based embedded 3D printing method. The optimum weight concentration range of carbon nanotubes in the nanocomposite inks, appropriate for embedded 3D printing, is identified. Samples with complex 2D and 3D geometries are printed to demonstrate the manufacturing capabilities of the embedded printing process. The sensitivity of the piezoresistive strain sensor is optimized by determining the ideal nanofiller concentration, curing temperature, and nozzle size to produce the highest gauge factor in a wide strain range. The piezoresistive and mechanical properties of the optimized sensors are fully characterized to verify the suitability for skin-attachable strain sensing applications. The developed sensors have a wide sensing range, high sensitivity, and minimal strain rate dependence. In addition, their low elasticity and high biocompatibility allow them to be comfortably bonded on the human skin.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Recently, wind farm development has gained more traction in Asian countries such as Taiwan, which are seismically active. Compared to Europe, the offshore wind structures need to be designed for these additional extreme environmental conditions. For monopiles, these calculations can typically be performed in an integrated way in the wind turbine load calculation, but for jackets the superelement (SE) approach remains preferred. At the time of writing different approaches are being applied in the industry to apply the SE approach for seismic time domain analysis. This work explains and compares three different methods, based on calculations performed in offshore strength assessment tool Sesam and aeroelastic tool BHawC. When including additional interface nodes at the foundation model bottom into the SE to which the seismic accelerations can be applied in BHawC similarly as in the re-tracking run in Sesam, the results between BHawC and Sesam are nearidentical. Using a normal SE, which only includes an interface node for the connection to the wind turbine tower bottom, and including the response due to seismic displacements into the SE load file gives a match between BHawC and Sesam, and closely matches the results of the case with additional interface nodes. Doing the same but only including the dynamic response of the interface point relative to a frame of reference moving with the rigid body motions as caused by the seismic accelerations into the SE load file, significant differences occur. This is due to the lack of the loading effect of rigid body motions. The same conclusions on how these methods compare can be drawn when using different wind and wave cases. The presented results give insights into the differences between the methods and how the choice of method may influence the results.

Abstract:
Exile is one of the central motifs of the 20th century European culture and literature; it is closely related to the historical events throughout this century and especially those related to World War II. In the culture of East Central Europe, the phenomenon of exile has been greatly determined by the context of socialism and post-socialist transformations that caused several waves of emigration from this part of Europe to the West or other parts of the world. It is interesting to compare cultures of East Central Europe, the historical situations of which both during World War II and after the collapse of socialism were different, e.g. Latvian and ex-Yugoslavian ones. In Latvia, exile is basically related to the emigration of a great part of the population in the 1940s and the issue of their possible return to the renewed Republic of Latvia in the early 1990s, whereas the countries of the former Yugoslavia experienced a new wave of emigration as a result of the Balkan War in the 1990s. Exile has been regarded by a great number of the 20th century philosophers, theorists, and scholars of diverse branches of studies. An important aspect of this complex phenomenon has been studied by psychoanalytical theorists. According to the French poststructuralist feminist theorist Julia Kristeva, the state of exile as a socio-cultural phenomenon reflects the inner schisms of subjectivity, particularly those of a feminine subject. Hence, exile/stranger/foreigner is an essential model of the contemporary subject and exile turns from a particular geographical and political phenomenon into a major symbol of modern European culture. The present article regards the sense of exile as a part of the narrator’s subjective world experience in the works by the Yugoslav writer Dubravka Ugrešič (“The Museum of Unconditional Surrender”, in Croatian and English, 1996) and Latvian émigré author Margita Gūtmane (“Letters to Mother”, in Latvian, 1998). Both authors relate the sense of exile to identity problems, personal and culture memory as well as loss. The article focuses on the issues of loss and memory as essential elements of the narrative of exile revealed by the metaphors of photograph and museum. Notwithstanding the differences of their historical situations, exile as the subjective experience reveals similar features in both authors’ works. However, different artistic means are used in both authors’ texts to depict it. Hence, Dubravka Ugrešič uses irony, whereas Margita Gūtmane provides a melancholic narrative of confession; both authors use photographs to depict various aspects of memory dynamic, but Gūtmane primarily deals with private memory, while Ugrešič regards also issues of cultural memory. The sense of exile in both authors’ works appears to mark specific aspects of feminine subjectivity.

Abstract:
Industry focused, full semester Courses A “Industry and Information Systems” and B “Overview of the Market and Introduction to Marketing” are lectured by the lead author at Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Technology (TMIT). In these courses, overview of the global and Japanese economies and trends of each industry sector are introduced by the lecturer. Students are assigned to write a report on a specific industry sector, a specific market and other related topics of his or her interest, and opportunities for presentation and discussion on their draft reports with their classmates and the lecturer are given toward the end of the semester. Apart from these courses, a full semester Course C “Evolution of Industry, Business and Engineering Practice in the Global Economy,” utilizing collaborative learning approach, was proposed by the lead author in 1998, and was partially taught at American and Japanese universities, utilizing the Proceedings of the ASME Engineering & Technology Management Group Symposia at IMECE 2000–2002.1)–3) The surveys were conducted concerning the student’s interest of industry sectors, lecture topics, and international topics both at the beginning and at the end of the semester. In addition, surveys to sense students’ new discovery from lectures for all course modules and those to sense useful knowledge in their career planning and in general were conducted at the end of all classes. The results of surveys show that students found the discussion opportunities valuable to gain broader perspectives and insights into their own subject of study when writing their reports, by learning what their classmates are studying and from classmates’ comments. This paper also discusses what motivates students in learning, what influences students’ general, specific, and career interests, and how students’ interests may change from the beginning to the end of the semester for which these courses are given.

Abstract:
We developed an assistance apparatus for upper limbs for patients who can control their finger but they cannot lift up their arms themselves, for example myopathy and hemiplegic patients. The mechanism of assistance is utilized the differential gears to lose the weight and volume of the mechanical arm. That enabled us to configure three motors to drive two DOFs (Degrees of freedom) for the shoulder and one DOF for the elbow around the root of the mechanical arm. This arm has two support trays, for wrist and upper arm. Furthermore, to realize other ADL (activities of daily living) motions (for instance, eating, writing, putting on makeup, wiping his/her face, and so on) them selves, we proposed to control the device using the targeted posture map for the mechanical arm. To be able to choose the appropriate input for each patient, various input interfaces, for example, joy-stick, push buttons, sensor glove using bending sensors, and so on, are equipped. In general, even though a human behaves an atonic motion, the maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC) outputs at least from 5 to 10%. The usage of this apparatus is to move the user’s upper limbs with dependence completely, and the purpose of this apparatus is to decrease the value of %MVC up to approximately 10%. Therefore, in this paper, the muscles of the user were evaluated with the ratio of %MVC. To confirm the effectiveness of assistance ability, we measured muscle activity while using the device, and compared the %MVC data between using the device or not. As a result, the activity decreased up to 80%, and the effectiveness of this device could be confirmed. Finally, to expand the usage of this apparatus to encompass Neuro-Rehabilitation as well, we measured cerebral activity while using the device for rehabilitation with a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Then we compared the data from using the device or not, and input motion from a third person. By using this device, the cerebral activity decreased especially when the target motion was complex. However, when the subject input the motion themselves, the cerebral activity increased more than when the data is input by a third person, especially, when the target motion was complex. Therefore, for use in Neuro-Rehabilitation, we found it is important the subject input the target motion him/herself.
