As a foreign language, English is not easy to be mastered by the students. There is still dissatisfaction with the English proficiency of Indonesian students. Many students find difficult to write and speak English in a simple sentence. It makes the students feel less confidence, afraid of made some mistake, and memorizing word is quite bored to be learned. Lack of vocabulary felt by Indonesian students make them difficult to understand spoken and written language. English proficiency among Indonesian students’ needs more improvement to assist them to communicate effectively. The technology provides many resources suitable to utilize as a media in teaching and learning process. The researcher implemented word wall media as a tool to teach vocabulary, letter-sound correspondence, spelling, etc. It is a good way to make the activity in the classroom becomes more fun and interesting in hospitality students at Institut Pariwisata dan Bisnis Internasioanal. This study used a qualitative approach by implementing a case study design. The questionnaire and the interview sheet given to the 61 respondents.

Full textAbstract:
Art Style | Art & Culture International Magazine Abstract First, the question of what a material picture is and what is meant by an image is discussed. We do not clearly distinguish whether we mean a physical object, a pictorial representation or a mental image that arises in our brain. The pictorial surface of a material carrier is the interface between the physical picture and the mental image. In contrast, our way of speaking of a pictorial representation works quite differently. Material picture and pictorial representation are structurally coupled. The representation cannot exist without a material carrier. The material picture embodies the pictorial representation like the actor embodies the role. The pictorial representation is only partially determined. It contains spots of indeterminacy that are filled up by the viewer’s imagination. Gibson invented the word affordance as a replacement for the concept of value. Affordances are what things offer a living being, what they ‘provide’ or ‘allow’ it to do. The fundamental problem with his theory lies in the attempt to construct a ‘direct’ and ‘unmediated’ approach to reality. The objectivism implicit in his theory oversees that affordances are neither ‘given’ nor ‘direct’ ‘properties of objects. Affordances are the result of active attribution and evaluation by a scientific observer. The photographic series of Paul Graham’s a shimmer of possibility exists in different materialities, namely as various photobooks and sequences of photographic colour prints on the wall, which provide different affordances. The photobooks and the photographic sequences are embedded into a space of potentiality out of which they are brought to actuality through a concrete process of aesthetic experience.

Full textAbstract:
In the early weeks of 2011, during the Arab Spring uprising, Egyptian blogger Nevine Zaki posted a photograph from Cairo’s Tahrir Square. It showed a group of people bowing in the traditional style of Muslim prayer, surrounded by other people standing hand-in-hand, facing outward, as a wall of protection against hostile pro-government forces. Zaki affixed this caption: “A picture I took yesterday of Christians protecting Muslims during their prayers.” Similar scenes, some ancient, some as recent as yesterday’s newspaper, can be referenced in numerous ways with a variety of religious identities. No religious tradition can claim a monopoly on compassionate courage, yet such stories are rarely headlined. This article will review some of the progress made in interfaith collaboration on issues of justice, peace, and human rights, beginning with a review of organizational breakthrough statements, like “Dabru Emet,” a document from Jewish intellectuals and rabbis affirming that “Jews and Christians worship the same God,” and “A Common Word Between Us and You,” by leading Islamic scholars and clerics, followed by multiple responses from Christian bodies. With these as evidence of closer interfaith orbits on a large scale, we then examine the purpose, promise and pitfalls of interfaith collaboration on the ground in regions and communities, especially in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
A little over 20 years ago I was reunited with my daughter, who had been adopted at the age of six weeks. We have become friends since then and I felt I owed it to her to explain the circumstances surrounding her birth and relinquishment. I have done this as an adult, in conversation with her, but there is only so much we can say to each other face to face. She knows my adult self but I wanted her to understand how my teenage self felt about losing a child, and to understand the shame surrounding illegitimacy at the time she was born. In the 1960s in England, “bastard” was still a dirty word. My parents dealt with the shame of my pregnancy by never speaking of it. They built a wall of silence. It took me 30 years to climb that wall: The attitudes I encountered as a teenager have not disappeared altogether. The shame of teenage pregnancy is still very much an issue in Ireland, for instance. The events I have written about took place in the late 60s in England, and I have tried to give a picture of the culture of the time. Women who gave birth to illegitimate children in the 60s and into the 70s were judged harshly by doctors and nurses and treated with less care than married women. So Many Lovely Girls is an extract from a longer memoir piece, which could be termed relational, because it deals with an intimate relationship, but I prefer the classification of autogynography, a term coined by feminist critic Donna Stanton in The Female Autograph. Stanton uses the term to differentiate women’s life writing from men’s.

Full textAbstract:
Indian folk art has its own recognition in universal context. It transmits from generation to generation having their own experience. Religious ceremonies and ritual acts are necessary for achieving psychological refinement. The folk culture moves around the elements of nature. The shapes are often symbolic and come out from their observations in simple pictorial language. The ritual paintings are generally created on wall, paper, cloth, and floor. The figures of human beings, animal, along with the daily life scene, mythological and rituals are created in rhythmic pattern with regional essence. Folk peoples express themselves in vivid styles through the paintings, this was the only means of transmission and inculcation of the culture through folk lore to a populace those who are not familiar with the written word. The traditions of folk culture are surviving in Odissa, Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Kerala are the unique representation of the region. Yet the changes with the time are noticed but characteristically folk art is not influenced by the time of change in academic or fine art circles and movements of Era.

Full textAbstract:
A less enjoyable teaching and learning process results in a decrease in critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes. The related impact can be resolved through action research which aims to improve the critical thinking skills and learning outcomes of students by utilizing blended learning with word wall application. This study uses a quantitative research approach with a class action research method. The subjects in this study were all grade VI (six) Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students totaling 35 students. The instruments used in this study used observation sheets with the aim of getting news related to teaching and learning activities, rubrics used to measure students' critical thinking skills, and tests with the aim of measuring students' learning outcomes. The data analysis technique used is the percentage technique to see the percentage picture of students, categorical to classify data, and comparative to compare data results. The results of this study obtained several findings including : 1) students' critical thinking increased, with a vulnerable average score of students' critical thinking ability level from Cycle I to Cycle II of 11.35 points; 2) the average student learning outcomes increased, with a score difference from Cycle I to Cycle II of 10.11 points. While the percentage of classical learning completeness increased, with a percentage difference of 22.85%. So based on these results, it can be concluded that the application of the blended learning model on the wordwall application can make learning more fun, so that it has implications for increasing students' critical thinking.

PurposeDespite the extensive academic interest in social media sentiment for financial fields, multimodal data in the stock market has been neglected. The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of multimodal social media data on stock performance, and investigate the underlying mechanism of two forms of social media data, i.e. text and pictures.Design/methodology/approachThis research employs panel vector autoregressive models to quantify the effect of the sentiment derived from two modalities in social media, i.e. text information and picture information. Through the models, the authors examine the short-term and long-term associations between social media sentiment and stock performance, measured by three metrics. Specifically, the authors design an enhanced sentiment analysis method, integrating random walk and word embeddings through Global Vectors for Word Representation (GloVe), to construct a domain-specific lexicon and apply it to textual sentiment analysis. Secondly, the authors exploit a deep learning framework based on convolutional neural networks to analyze the sentiment in picture data.FindingsThe empirical results derived from vector autoregressive models reveal that both measures of the sentiment extracted from textual information and pictorial information in social media are significant leading indicators of stock performance. Moreover, pictorial information and textual information have similar relationships with stock performance.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that incorporates multimodal social media data for sentiment analysis, which is valuable in understanding pictures of social media data. The study offers significant implications for researchers and practitioners. This research informs researchers on the attention of multimodal social media data. The study’s findings provide some managerial recommendations, e.g. watching not only words but also pictures in social media.

Full textAbstract:
Reading pictures means first digesting the words that inhabit or surround them: words in pictures, words framing pictures by way of titles or wall captions, and words of the texts to which pictures allude. But while pictures almost always come to us embedded in language, they are not the same as texts. Even though many elements of pictures may be construed as signs, a pictorial sign is not the same as a verbal sign or a textualized image, nor is it anything like a noun or verb, as Louis Marin proposed. To read pictures, we must reckon with these differences as well as with their subsemiotic attributes—their marks. We must be willing to read whatever remains illegible in a textual sense, whatever in a painting resists being verbalized or turned into a sign. In so doing, we challenge and stretch our conception of what it means to read anything at all.

Full textAbstract:
Wall structure has been analysed by a process of careful demolition, in which chemical extradants are used to remove specific polymers for sugar and linkage analysis, gel-permeation or ion-exchange chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Sequence-dependent endoglycanases cleave certain polysaccharides into oligomers that can be sequenced completely and give a clear picture of the repetitive units used to make fundamental polymers. We have also developed and adapted new chemical procedures and pulse-labelling techniques to give more information on the ways that wall polymers are subtly modified during growth. In this report, we review these conventional means of carbohydrate analyses together with newer methods of selective enzymic hydrolysis, separation of large oligosaccharides by high pH anion-exchange chromatography, and detection of molecular mass of several thousand daltons by electrospray mass spectrometry. These new technologies have already given much valuable information about the polymeric building blocks, but little information on how these polymers are arranged in space. For this, we adapted new cryopreservation techniques for electron microscopy that can image the wall in as close to the in vivo state as possible. In addition to defining anomeric linkages and linkage structures in preparations of native polymers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can also determine the relative mobility of particular polymers within the structure of hydrated cell walls. The generation of antibodies to particular cell wall epitopes has enabled us to define architectural differences among species, among tissue types, and even among domains within a single wall. Our awareness of the diversity and complexity of primary cell wall architecture has driven a search for methodologies such as Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman microspectroscopies, which are suitable for analysis at the single cell wall level. Key words: cell walls, polysaccharides, gas – liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, immunocytochemistry.

Full textAbstract:
Mimic (1982) is an early and much discussed picture by the Canadian photographer Jeff Wall, with the discussion centering largely on two topics: its subject matter and its setting (fig. 1). The subject is racism, and in this regard Mimic is “characteristic,” as Wall's best critic, Michael Fried, has observed, “of Wall's engagement in his art of the 1980s with social issues” (Why 235). Subsequently, as Fried also notes, “Wall has tended to distance himself from the overtly political concerns that are front and center in works like Mimic” (64). Indeed, in recent interviews Wall has insisted on this distance, remarking, for example, that “[t]wenty-five years ago I thought subject matter had some significance in itself” and going on to say that “Mimic was about racism in some way, about hostile gestures between races, but I'm glad the picture itself is good and it doesn't need that to be successful. Now I try to eliminate any additional subject matter—those things are for other people, they're not my problem” (Denes). His point here is not exactly that Mimic isn't antiracist—actually, its antiracism is so obvious and uncontroversial that a recent critic, Régis Michel, has complained that it “verges on political correctness” (63). The idea is rather that the success of the picture—the fact that it's a “good” picture—has nothing to do with those politics. Which leaves open the question of whether the picture's success has nothing to do with any politics or nothing to do with the particular politics of antiracism. In other words, is the picture's success independent of politics as such? Or is there a politics of the good picture?

Literacy of children with blindness Literacy and reading for children with blindness is a relatively unknown field, as the topic is not covered in any national research, and due to the specific way of reading Braille, a comparison with sighted peers does not give a clear picture. A child with blindness has less incentive to develop, explores less, and learns less through imitation, so we need to help him/her with certain methods and aids to catch his/hers peers. Literacy for children with blindness due to the use of braille is different from that of sighted peers, so preparations for literacy are very important, where in addition to developing vocabulary, orientation and coordination with planned exercises, we must also develop the child’s tactile skills. With systematic tactile stimuli, the sensitivity of the finger pads increases, which is a prerequisite for successful reading of Braille. A child with blindness does not encounter the graphic image of letters as a sighted peer at every turn, so we offer him/her the opportunity to get to know the letters in Braille in his/hers everyday environment. Adapted materials and planned activities are suitable for this, such as getting to know the wall tactile fairy tale, book in the box, reading tactile pictures, tactile games and tasks, tactile picture books and tactile kamishibai. Only through systematic work and the earliest possible holistic treatment will the child be able to reach his or her sighted peers in the field of literacy as well. Key words: literacy, children with blindness, tactile rebus, tactile picture book, book in the box, tactile kamishibai

Abstract: The 2007–2008 financial crisis caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, homes, and health insurance. From the encampments of Occupy Wall Street to the historic campaign of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, the crisis also spawned a wave of progressive movements. To paraphrase the opening remarks of the inaugural issue of Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy , economic inequality is again up for debate. However, it is not up for debate in the pages of picture books. With picture books published between 2007 and 2019 as the reference point, this article argues that most of these books depoliticize economic inequality. Building on the work of other scholars, this article also argues that, despite other changes in the landscape of children's publishing, most of these books resemble books written before the recession.

Introduction: One complication of autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for haemodialysis is the formation of a venous aneurysm. Clinical picture: The clinical picture is typically an expanding aneurysm leading to skin atrophy and ulceration with the risk of rupture and infection. Aneurysm also reduces the potential cannulation area. Treatment: The cases described here used a surgical ‘remodelling’ technique involving complete skeletonisation of the venous aneurysm, reduction of lumen diameter and retention of vein wall using a Hegar dilatator to remodel a new fistula. Outcome: Six patients were treated using this method and the arterior venous shunt (AVS) was used for haemodialysis the following day. No recurrent aneurysm developed. Conclusion: Remodelling of aneurysmal AVF is an effective and low-risk option for managing this kind of complication, allowing direct access for haemodialysis. Key words: Arteriovenous fistula, Vascular access, Vessel dilatation, Surgical complication, Surgical treatment

AbstractThe effect of initial stages of pulping of spruce, resembling prehydrolysis and alkaline cooking was studied using CP/MAS 13C-NMR, X-ray scattering, FSP and carbohydrate composition in order to study the impact of the pre-treatments on the fiber wall nanostructure. Removal of fiber wall components, hemicellulose and lignin, increased the fiber wall porosity and induced cellulose fibril aggregation. The effect of temperature and pH in the treatment on cellulose fibril aggregate size appears to be secondary. It is the removal of hemicellulose that has a profound effect on the supramolecular structure of the cellulose fiber wall. As the amount of hemicellulose dissolved from wood increases, the fibril aggregate size determined by NMR increases as well, ranging from 16 to 28 nm. Specifically, a good correlation between the amount of glucomannan in the fiber wall and the fibril aggregate size is seen. The lower the amount of glucomannan, the larger the aggregate size. Glucomannan thus seems to prevent aggregation as it acts as a very efficient spacer between fibrils. Elemental fibril size determined by NMR, was quite similar for all samples, ranging from 3.6 to 4.1 nm. By combining measurement methods, a more well-resolved picture of the structural changes occurring during was obtained.

Image analysis is a common tool for measuring tracheid cell dimensions. When analyzing a digital image of a transverse cross section of wood, one of the initial procedures is that of segmentation. This involves classifying a picture element (pixel) as either cell wall or lumen. The accuracy of tracheid measurements is dependent on how well the result of the segmentation procedure corresponds to the true distributions of cell wall or lumen pixels. In this paper a comparison of segmentation methods is given. The effect of segmentation method on measurements is investigated and the performance of each method is discussed.We demonstrate that automated segmentation methods remove observer bias and are thus capable of more reproducible results. The contrast for confocal microscope images is of such quality that one of the fastest and simplest automatic segmentation methods may be used.

Full textAbstract:
The organization of the major polymers in the wood fiber has a large impact on the properties of the structure. Numerous studies have been devoted to the cellulose microfibril arrangement, providing the longitudinal strength of the fiber, while less is known regarding the structural organization of other components, such as hemicelluloses and lignin. For the hemicelluloses, as being part of the cellulose aggregation process, indications of a strong coupling to the cellulose structure have been shown. For lignin, being laid down in a later stage, no clear picture has emerged. Here the orientation of lignin vis-à-vis the cellulose orientation was examined for a number of different fiber structures. It was shown that the lignin in the middle lamella region seems to be non-oriented, thus more resembling an isotropic material, while the lignin in the secondary wall is to some extent oriented. The orientation of this lignin is less pronounced than the orientation of cellulose but has a preferential alignment in the direction of the fiber axis. The reason for this alignment could be related to structural restrictions of this lignin, deposited in the spaces remaining after the initial forming of the structured cellulose/hemicellulose fibrillar structure.

This research is intended to showcase the reflection of Black self-resilience through Still I Rise poem written by Maya Angelou. Mimetic approach and the concept of self-resilience were used to analyze the problem of this research. Self-resilience was seen in two points; physical and psychological ones. Black self-resilient performed in the poem is considered as the mimetic rendition of the dynamic process of black struggle that leads to the positive adaptations within the context of significant adversity in their life context of the US. Type of this research is included in library research with using descriptive qualitative-interpretive method in analyzing the data. It suggests that Maya Angelou in the poem Still I Rise pictured two kinds of Black self-resilience; physical resilience is showed through some selected words, like; dust, sun, moon, tide, they still arise in their place and time. Black did not and could not be destroyed by the bitter treatment of racism. These words also represented the psychological resilience by adding some other words; having gold mine, walk like I've got oil wells, certainty of tides, and the repeating word, I rise, to show their inner self-motivation, affection, and actualization. This study concluded that Black self-resilience both physically and psychologically reflected by Maya Angelou in her Poem Still I Rise is dealing with the racism. Blacks are destroyed not only physically but also mentality, so, they have to endure themselves by leading to a positive adaptation to exist in the United States.

The article deals with the problem of the relationships between the word and the image in the monuments of pictorial and graphic art, depicting the text, so-called text painting, «tekstschilderijen» in Dutch. Mostly anonymous, these monumental images of the Word were painted on boards, columns, and church walls throughout the Northern Netherlands during the first century after the Reformation. Formally, these images belong to the history of painting, since the same materials are used: paints on a board or on a stone in a decorative frame, but the way of depicting reminiscent of an enlarged page of Holy Scripture puts them on a par with the monuments of graphic art. The emergence of “verbal pictures”, texts that became ornaments and calligraphy, the scale and structure of which shifted their verbal content from the individual world of personal initiation into the fixed didactics of public space, corresponded to new doctrinal guidelines and radically changed the semantic structure of the Gothic cathedral. The Bible provided a new graphic language: text that was authoritative enough to become canonical and flexible at the same time to take many varieties of forms. “Verbal pictures” were the texts that became ornaments and calligraphy. The dialectical content unity, their design, interaction with the church space and viewing traditions of the text pictures help to reconstruct not only the author's intention as artistic ones, but also the cultural and historical context.

Abstract How can visual texts, closed books, and painted images work together in Buddhist temples to reinforce one another and act upon viewers? The fourteenth-century murals at the Tibetan temple of Shalu integrate pictures with long passages of Tibetan texts and select inscriptions that explain the powers of seeing paintings. The murals combine and mix media—books, paintings, cloth—into expressive wholes that ultimately argue that walls are in fact much more than walls. The paintings find ways to make the temple's book collections more accessible. Here we find a public art effort that weaves together a compelling argument for why religious texts and religious art both “work” for and on their audiences. Shalu was a grandly expanded temple showing off its resources and its connections in a broader cosmopolitan sphere of production and exchange. Its walls were designed to weave media together, finding ways to celebrate and explain larger and newer corporate productions (book projects, larger monasteries). An intentional play of materiality (clay, cloth, book) emphasized by the inscriptions and performed in the pictorial compositions assists in the imaginative act of directly seeing deities, while also playing with the awareness that acts of imagination entail the play of just-like/seeing-as. Since neither clay nor cloth nor word on their own are adequate vessels for representing an enlightened being, here they collaborate with each other and with viewers in the imaginative act, promising that the deity, like the teachings, can be directly experienced.

Full textAbstract:
A recently discovered Egyptian wooden statue of King Djedefre was studied together with some surrounding burial soil samples for assessing the statue biodeterioration. The wooden morphological characterisation identified the hardwood Acacia nilotica as the wood type. X-ray diffraction, micro-FT-IR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with an X-ray spectrometer were used to evaluate the wood deterioration degree and the soil contribution in wood biodeterioration. Microbiological analyses (fluorescent in situ hybridisation and polymerase chain reaction) were also performed to detect the microbial attack on the statue. The prolonged interaction of the statue with the burial environment caused a strong wood decay due to biotic (fungi and bacteria) and abiotic factors (e.g., humidity fluctuations of the burial environment), which caused the severe cracking and collapsing of the wood structures. The analyses of the burial soil mineral composition were relevant for obtaining an overall picture of the statue deterioration. The results are useful for planning the right conservation procedures for this very particular and important wooden statue. Furthermore, analysis of the woody cell wall will help in the selection of appropriate consolidation and recovery treatments. Because the statue is a unique single piece of wood, and the morphological observations indicated that it is a bald woman in a sitting position, this statue will provide new and interesting knowledge of Egyptian culture.

Introduction: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) created for haemodialysis can be complicated by aneurysm formation. Clinical Picture: Ligation of the fistula is often required to prevent aneurysmal rupture and the life-threatening haemorrhage that ensues. Other methods of treatment involve using foreign bodies like mesh and grafts. Treatment: We describe a new method in the treatment of this condition – plication. It involves plicating the excess free wall of the aneurysm with sutures and does not require resection or anastomosis. Outcome: Early results show that this method shrinks the aneurysm size and reduces the risk of haemorrhage. Conclusion: The AVF can continue to be used and the patient is spared the agony of having to go through the entire cycle of creating a new vascular access site.

Teaching speaking skills is an important part of foreign language learning. This study aims to find out the student difficulties that teachers find when teaching speaking and to find what strategies teachers use in teaching speaking at a vocational high school in Sidoarjo. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The subjects of this research were two English teachers at the vocational high school. Data were collected by conducting observations, interviews, and learning documentation during and after class. The results showed that teacher 1 found difficulties due to lack of motivation, lack of practice, lack of vocabulary, nervousness, low grammar mastery, and pronunciation challenges. To overcome these difficulties, teacher 1 used 9 strategies including role-playing, presentations, describing pictures, telling pictures, discussions, word walls, brainstorming, interviews, and storytelling. Similarly, teacher 2 found lack of motivation, lack of practice, lack of vocabulary, nervousness, low grammar mastery, and pronunciation difficulties to be the causes of difficulties. Teacher 2 also used 9 strategies, with some strategies different from teacher 1. They are role-playing, discussion, storytelling, interview, reporting, playing cards, describing pictures, telling pictures, and brainstorming. Thus, teachers can overcome students' difficulties in speaking by using the strategies used.

Providing topical information and entertainment began with wall paintings, the spoken word and face-to-face performance, then the addition of the written and printed word along with illustrations and pictures, followed by audio recording. In the early 1920s, regular broadcast radio services began, followed by television in the late 1930s, and this has provided the basis of broadcast media we know today. These innovations frequently pushed boundaries and challenged the status quo, but not all of these challenges were technical by any means. However, it could be argued that the development of accessible technologies has been fundamental to the successful deployment of information and entertainment media in all their forms throughout history. Today, the merging of audio and video media with a whole range of digital services is becoming commonplace. With the ability of such services to develop new approaches in supporting people’s everyday living experiences, this will take communication networks into a new era central to the way we live. This paper postulates that the historical trends with audio and video media developments from the early 1900s will continue to push future boundaries, and attempts to highlight the key demands and the developing trends from a communication network point of view.

Abstract Antonio Maria Valsalva was a renowned anatomist, physiologist, and surgeon who made significant contributions to the field of science, particularly in otology. A monument dedicated to him is located on the wall of the Archiginnasio Palace in Bologna, indicating the high regard in which he was held by his peers. The aim of this study is to analyze the monument, revealing the hidden messages about the scientist. In our analysis of the monument dedicated to Valsalva, we also conducted research on Valsalva’s life and contributions to the field of science, with a focus on otology. Our study revealed that the fresco paints a comprehensive picture of Valsalva and his achievements as one of the leading figures in the history of medicine and otology. This is particularly conveyed by the four putti surrounding the fresco, which symbolize various aspects of Valsalva’s extraordinary career and impact on the field of science. The monument dedicated to Antonio Maria Valsalva serves as a lasting tribute to his legacy and contributions to the field of Science.

In Spain in 1981, near Seville, there was a spectacular discovery. It allows us to see back to the reign of Domitian, third and last of the Flavian emperors (AD 81–96), and to recreate a vivid picture of the little local senate of Irni meeting in the very shadow of the municipality's newly acquired constitution. Ten bronze tablets, each nearly a metre wide and rather more than half a metre high, were fixed along the wall of its council-chamber, presumably at a level at which letters about half a centimetre high could be clearly read from ground level. Each rectangular tablet carried three columns of writing, each column about fifty lines, each line an average of about ten words. At five hundred words a column and thirty columns, the Statute of Irni— thelex Irnitana—was thus a massive document. The discovery in 1981, by people using metal detectors to search for coins, was of no less than six of the ten tablets. Later excavation discovered a few more fragments. The last tablet bears at its end the date 11th October, AD 91.

Histochemical and cristallographic studies were performed in light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy on crystal-bearing cystidia of several Inocybe spp. (Agaricales) and confirmed the excretory function of these sterile cells of the hymenium. At the apex of these bottle-like cells, the wall had an axial polysaccharidic matrix rich in carboxyl groups. It also presented an enhanced permeability and a local concentration of Ca2+. Functioning as an hydathode, the cystidium secreted, at its apex, an aqueous droplet into which twin crystals developed. In addition, crystal sand were found in the cystidium wall. These two crystalline products were calcium oxalate as confirmed with anthracene green and the Pizzolato test. A detailed crystallographic study showed that these twin crystals undoubtedly belong to the monoclinic system, i.e., the monohydrated form of the calcium oxalate or whewellite. In the case of Inocybe asterospora Quél., these grouped crystals were formed regularly by two pairs of twin crystals. The identification and localization of the Ca2+ ions have been determined with the scanning electron microscope by means of the X-emission pictures and the resulting energy dispersive X-spectrum for the latter element. Key words: Inocybe, cystidium, hydathode, calcium oxalate, whewellite.

Arabic language is the cultural arsenal and the strong fence that protects and expresses Arab identity at the same time. This study sheds some light on the Arab language policy planning and its relation to the Arab identity. Using an analytical descriptive approach, the study aims at providing a clear picture of the status of Arab identity on the list of priorities of current language policies in the Arab World, which can be beneficial for scholars and decision makers. The study concluded with a number of findings, recommendations and suggestions. The most important of these is the existence of a serious contradiction between what exists and what should be on these policies. Moreover, there are a number of challenges that threaten identity from the inside. There is also a need to raise awareness of the importance of the Arabic language as a spoken identity, which warrants the effective involvement of language specialists in creating language policies, the establishment of Arabic as an identity formation and rooting language, the enactment of laws to protect the Arabic language, and the dedication to Arabize education. Finally, specialists and interested scholars should be involved in more comprehensive research and in-depth studies in this area, which can perhaps reduce the growing crack in the wall of the standard Arabic day after day.

Full textAbstract:
A ground-based model [24 h of bed rest (BR) with head-down tilt (HDT)] was used to investigate the cardiovascular deconditioning responsible for orthostatic intolerance, frequently observed after weightlessness flights. This experimental deconditioning is shown to be distinguished by an increase of mean blood pressure (P < 0.05), with increased total peripheral resistances (TPRs). Systolic tangential tension of the carotid arterial wall, cardiac output and frequency (spectral analysis), and plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine were not significantly altered, while plasma dopamine was increased (P < 0.05). Cardiovascular homeostasis was challenged before and after 24 h of BR with HDT through -40 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Systolic tangential tension of the carotid wall was decreased, with a decrease of systolic pressure and cardiac output; increased heart rate was likely due to an increase of sympathetic drive with a decrease of vagal braking. The overall picture was not changed after 24 h of BR with HDT, except for a lack of increase of TPRs: their increase (+13.7%, P < 0.05) before was no longer observed after (-2.6%) 24 h of BR with HDT. This apparent deficiency cannot be explained. However, a heterogeneity in the response of TPR should be considered because the magnitude of the increase of blood pressure to cold pressor test was the same after 24 h of BR with HDT as it was before.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract Structural wall sheathing such as oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood have been heavily used in residential and commercial timber frame construction. The response of these wood-based composites under elevated temperatures between 100°C and 200°C (herein referred to as elevated temperatures) and exposure time needs to be characterized to assess residual strength of the materials in the existing structures. The main objective of this work is to study the effect of temperature and exposure time on shear strength and shear modulus of plywood and OSB. A total of 110 test specimens was tested in shear after exposure to five different temperatures and two exposure durations, followed by cooling to ambient temperature. The results indicated that the plywood and OSB behaved differently after exposure to elevated temperatures and exposure duration. Plywood showed a consistent degradation of shear strength with elevated temperature and time, while OSB did not exhibit a clear picture of thermal degradation. The results further indicated that the shear modulus of plywood and OSB remained unaffected after exposure to elevated temperatures.

Full textAbstract:
Children with mild mental retardation are different from normal children in general. Mild mentally retarded children have learning difficulties evident in the academic field. Therefore, to teach learning materials to children with mild mental retardation, teachers need to provide learning media. One of them is visual media. So this study aims to analyze the use of visual learning media in optimizing all aspects of the development of mild mentally retarded children. This research uses the literature review method with thematic structure data collection techniques and Critical appraisal analysis techniques. In this study, all results obtained in the reviewed literature showed that visual learning media significantly influenced the development of children with mild mental retardation. The visual learning media used in the research that has been carried out are blocks, counting boards, drawing cards, word walls, busy books, and picture crosswords. This is undoubtedly very helpful for teachers in the learning process because visual media can contain various learning materials to increase the interest and enthusiasm for learning of children with mild mental retardation.

Full textAbstract:
Samizdat materials are a huge collection of documents of different genres that can be viewed in the context of the dissident phenomenon in the USSR. Only the latest decade saw the intensive growth of scientific interest to this phenomenon, and, therefore, these historical records require further interpretation and analysis; the latter became the main purposes of the monograph reviewed. The study combines both theoretical and historical aspects of studying Soviet samizdat. The term “samizdat” is understood in its wider sense, not only as fiction prohibited for publication, but also as a product of social, political, journalistic, human rights and other activities. At the same time, emphasis is placed on historical sources that allow documenting the human rights process. Samizdat is considered in three aspects: as a phenomenon of the 20th century supplementing official culture; as a kind of self-organization, self-reflection of society, a sign of intellectual reaction and an information channel; and as a historical source that makes it possible to study Soviet society and its reaction to state policy. This enables the author to present a representative and fairly complete picture of Russian samizdat. The notion “samizdat” is thoroughly analyzed, as well as the problem of the scientific classification of samizdat documents. The new classification system is demanded to be more detailed, presenting a complex structure, which takes into account various types and content of these historical sources. Working out a well-developed classification should ensure the use of available sources and their information potential. The book describes the sources of some varieties of samizdat documents: open letters, appeals and statements of protest, court proceedings, collections of documents. In a separate chapter, self-published magazines are analyzed as one of the most convincing manifestations of the various opposition movements organizational design. Particular attention is paid to the bulletin A Chronicle of Current Events, which has played an important role in reporting on human rights violations, disseminating the ideas of human rights defenders and maintaining links between human rights groups and organizations as a consolidating information center. The first issue of the Chronicle of 1968 is presented in the book as a holistic text, from the list of headings to the definition of the semantic strategy of the periodical, its tactics of layout and design, which allows us to correlate it with the legendary Herzen’s Kolokol [Bell] both in design and in its impact on public consciousness. The bulletin structure and its main sections were formed from the first issues: “Courts”, “Arrests”, “Extra-Judicial Prosecutions”, “Searches and Interrogations”, “In Prisons and Camps”, “In Psychiatric Hospitals”, “Persecution of Believers”, “Right to Leave”, “Jewish Movement”, “Through the Pages of the Soviet press”, “In Exile”, “Official Documents”, “Samizdat News”, etc. The analysis of other quite numerous samizdat magazines (Politicheskiy Dnevnik [Political Diary], Obshchestvennye Problemy [Social Problems], Veche, Vestnik Spaseniya [Herald of Salvation], Iskhod [Exodus], Vestnik Iskhoda [Herald of Exodus], Belaya Kniga Iskhoda [White Book of Exodus], etc.), including the “second culture” ones (37, Chasy [Clock], Obvodnoy Kanal [Bypass Channel], Metrodor, Summa [Sum], Nadezhda [Hope], etc.), allows the author to document the well-known statement of Igor Shafarevich that with all the various shades of independent thought in our country, the unifying principle was the feeling of lack of freedom. The author pays attention to historical discourse aimed at analyzing social and political processes via studying samizdat authors’ and developers’ biographies, as well as to the history of the texts. Biographies are given briefly, most often in the form of page footnotes, but their presence adds “humanity” to historical and documentary research (for example, biographies of V. Krasin, V. Chelidze, Yu. Shikhanovich, V. Rutminsky, Gr. Fedoseev, etc.). The book discusses the main varieties of social and political samizdat – “classic” and little-studied samizdat texts. Considerable attention is paid to “provincial” students’ literary and journalistic amateur periodicals of Sverdlovsk. The almanac Nashe Tvorchestvo [Our Creativity] (Ural State University, 1946–1949), Vskhody [Shoots], V Poiskakh [In Search] (Ural State University, 1956), the Ural Pedagogical Institute wall newspaper BOKS (Boevoy Organ Komsomol’skoy Satiry [Komsomol Satire Combat Organ], 1943–1960) are analyzed for the first time in the all-Union context. Student manuscript and typewritten magazines, a typical phenomenon for Soviet universities of that time, on the one hand, became the harbingers of political samizdat, on the other hand, a consequence of the creative and spiritual upsurge that caused the exposure of the personality cult. The book concludes with a brief bibliography on the Soviet samizdat history and an appendix including well-known examples of samizdat texts (“I Can’t Be Silent!” by P. Grigorenko, “The Final Word of the Accused Bukovsky”, “The White Book of Exodus” (1972)), as well as unique graphic jokes of BOKS.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates selected parameters describing the fibers of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) wood with regard to tree age and size (diameter). The material was collected in stands aged 38, 60, and 71 years growing on the mesotrophic sites in southwestern Poland. In each stand, we sampled trees from three diameter classes (thin, medium, and thick specimens). From each tree, we took two 20 mm × 20 mm × 30 mm wood samples, from which we cut slices from the tangential plane using a sliding microtome. The Olympus cellSens Standard software was used to take pictures of 15 fibers per sample. In total, studies were carried out on 510 fibers. We measured fibers’ dimensional parameters (length, diameter, lumen, and wall thickness) with ImageJ 1.8.0 software and, based on these, we calculated the fiber shape coefficients (slenderness ratio, rigidity index, Runkel ratio, flexibility coefficient, Mühlsteph index, and solids index). Both the age and size of trees significantly influenced the examined parameters of black locust fibers, with the single exception of fiber lumen, which was dependent only on tree age. In general, the examined age classes differed one from another, while, in the case of tree size, significantly different values were usually only found for the thinnest trees. Our results suggest that wood of medium-thick, medium-sized, or older black locust trees seems to be the most appropriate raw material for paper or pulp production, as it has the least variability in the analyzed features. The wood of the youngest trees would be potentially the least useful for these applications.

ABSTRAK. Merauke sebagai kabupaten terujung timur dari wilayah NKRI, selain dikenal dengan area perbatasannya juga menghasilkan tanaman sagu (Metroxylon sp.). Bagian dari tanaman sagu yaitu pelepahnya kemudian dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat setempat menjadi material penyusun dinding rumah. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara, rumah ini selanjutnya dikenal masyarakat Merauke dengan sebutan Rumah Gaba-Gaba. Penerapan Rumah Gaba-Gaba bukan hanya ada di daerah perkotaan tetapi dijumpai juga di daerah lain seperti pedalaman di sekitar Distrik Merauke. Untuk di daerah kota, Rumah gaba-gaba semakin berkurang. Pembelajaran detail sambungan kontruksi gaba-gaba di bangku perkuliahan jurusan bangunan (arsitektur dan teknik sipil) juga sekolah menengah kejuruan bidang teknik bangunan juga tida dijumpai. Penelitian ini kemudian bertujuan melihat bagaimana detail sambungan pelepah sagu pada dinding Rumah Gaba-Gaba di perkotaan Merauke serta menemukan bagaimana potensi dan tantangan pelestarian Rumah Gaba-Gaba dalam kaitannya dengan akses memperoleh material sagu di daerah perkotaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, jenis metode yaitu observasi terlibat dan pengambilan data ethnografis. Teknik pengambilan data secara tidak acak, teknik purposive sampling. Observasi/pengamatan dan wawancara dengan teknik penyajian data yaitu dengan verbatim. Hasil penelitian ini adalah gambar sambungan dinding pelepah sagu dimana terdapat kayu list ukuran 2/2 mengapit gaba-gaba, antar gaba disambung dengan tusukan bambu (seperti tusukan sate) dengan jarak antar tusukan adalah tidak saling sejajar secara vertikal dan juga kajian potensi dan tantangan pelestarian rumah material sagu area perkotaan Merauke. Kata kunci: pelepah sagu, dinding, material lokal ABSTRACT. Merauke, the easternmost district of the Republic of Indonesia, besides being known for its border area, also produces Metroxylon sp., the sago plants. Part of the sago plant, namely sago midrib, is then used by the local community to become the building material for the walls of the houses. Based on the interview results, information was obtained that this house was later known as Rumah Gaba-Gaba. The application of Rumah Gaba-Gaba exists in urban areas and can also be found in other areas such as the rural around Merauke District. The application of Rumah Gaba-Gaba exists in urban areas and can also be found in other areas such as the rural around Merauke District. However, it is found that the application of Gaba-Gaba wall construction is decreasing in urban areas. Then learning the details of this construction in the lectures majoring in building (architecture and civil engineering) and vocational high schools in building engineering is not there. This research then aims to see how the details of the connection of the sago midrib on the walls of the Rumah Gaba-Gaba in Merauke city and find out how the potencies and challenges of preserving the Rumah are preserved Gaba-Gaba are related to access to sago material in urban areas. This research uses qualitative research methods. The types of methods are involved observation and ethnographic data collection. The collecting data is not a random, purposive sampling technique—observations and interviews with data presentation techniques, namely verbatim. The results of this study are a picture of the connection of the Gaba-Gaba wall where there is a list of 2/2 size wood flanking the Gaba-Gaba. Between the Gaba is connected with a bamboo puncture (such as a satay puncture). The distance between the punctures is not parallel to each other vertically. It is also a study of the potential and challenges for the conservation of sago material houses for the urban area of Merauke.Keywords: sago midrib, wall, local material

Purpose. This work is a continuation of the series of articles by the author devoted to the localization, architecture and layout plan of the defensive structures, the purpose of which was to ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic along the segment of the Moscow-Siberian Route from Tara to Tomsk: Ust-Tartassky, Ubinsky passes (outposts), Bergamak, Chausky and Umrevinsky ostrogs, Abakhan winter hut. Without a holistic view of the origin of these objects it is impossible to get a sufficiently complete picture of the functioning of the most important land transport communication in the Ob-Irtysh interfluve during the period of its formation in the first half of the 18th Century. The purpose of this study is to localize the Kainsky Pass and reconstruct its layout plan based on written sources. Results. The etymology of the word “pass” is established. Based on the original meaning of the word, the purpose of the construction of the Baraba outposts was identified. A text fragment from travel diary of J. G. Gmelin, dedicated to the Kainsky Pass (1741) was translated into Russian. Based on this source, the exact location of the Kainsky Pass (outpost) on the territory of the modern town of Kuybyshev (Novosibirsk Region) was determined (Str. Agafonov on the segment between Str. Kopiev and St. Saraynaya). A graphic and descriptive reconstruction of the layout plan of the Kainsky Pass was completed. It was established that the outpost had a sub-rectangular shape, “zaplot” constructed walls, two entrance towers, the yard contained the commander’s house, a barn, armoury room and 12 barracks. Outside the walls was a bathhouse. The Pass was surrounded by a ditch, Dragon’s teeth fortifications and cheval de frise. Conclusion. The analysis of J. G. Gmelin’s travel diary showed that this source is the main one on the early history of the Kainsky Pass. Without its careful study the first decades of this defensive structure can only be reconstructed hypothetically.

Full textAbstract:
Film critics and academics have praised Studio Ghibli for its films’ bold and upfront depictions of war, the Anthropocene, and human consumption. In contrast to American major animation studios who may only touch upon these issues thematically or allegorically to appeal to the masses, the Japanese filmmakers at Studio Ghibli are unafraid to continuously and directly depict war and human greed. This paper focuses on Studio Ghibli’s ecocritical depictions compared to its American Hollywood animated counterparts, such as Walt Disney Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, and DreamWorks Pictures. Although American major animated film studios do not reflect as frequently or directly on the climate crisis, I draw from the more overt and didactic American major environmentalist films WALL-E, The Lorax, and Over the Hedge in these juxtapositions. Exploring the film elements of pacing, characterization, and narrative structure, I examine how these elements demonstrate more nuanced depictions in Studio Ghibli’s representations of ecological disaster. Hollywood ecocritical films mainly utilize standardized narratological structures, such as fast-paced linear three-act structures and straightforward characterizations, to convey their ideology that resolving the climate crisis will be uncomplicated and that it is never too late to reverse the harm humans have inflicted on the natural world. Such resolutions place less pressure on the audience for swift environmental action and reduction of human consumption. American ecocritical animated films’ neat resolutions oppose the ambiguous and melancholic endings often presented in Ghibli films that portray ecological disasters and imply that humans may be unable to fully reverse or stop the human deterioration of the natural world but that there remains beauty in the earth’s transience.
