Audience In Mind Research Articles

إيجاد الثقافة الجديدة في القرآن الكريم بالانتقاء التقابلي للمفردات (نموذج من الاعجاز القراني)

The Holy Qur'an, as it introduces itself is a life-giving (that which gives you life), healer (healing for the diseases in your hearts), cultural creator (taught you, which ye knew not before), reformer (improve their condition) and savior (ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it). In this regard, in addition to the deep meaning and content along with the unique literary devices and techniques that have impressed the listeners, the Quran has a unique style in the selection and words usage. One of these methods used in creating a culture is how the Quran employs opposite lexical terms. The kind of contradiction that the Qur'an has invented by selecting words is not customary. By utilizing descriptive-analytical method, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate some Qur'anic contradictions and the logic behind it in order to create a new culture among the audience. The findings show that in many cases, the Holy Quran has not followed the common structure of using opposite words, but it has used a new method to institutionalize a new culture among its audience. This being the case of using the word rahmah against shiddah instead of al-lin depicting the mercy as the cause of gentleness. Furthermore, the use of ithm against nafa’ instead of dharar where it shows that every sin is harmful to human. The findings also prove that this Qur'anic method leads the audience to a better understanding of the meanings and concepts of the Holy Qur'an. Apart from its miraculous model of heavenly scripture, this method or style has made possible to convey a larger volume of knowledge in abbreviated terms and the extent to which the new culture can be built not to mention the development and presentation of broader concepts in audience's mind.

Synthesis of Novel Pyrazolyl-1,3,4-Thiadiazole Analogues

In the present study, we have designed a novel series of pyrazolyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole analogues by accommodating 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring at C – 4 of pyrazole ring with and without an amide linkage; 5-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-N-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide and 2-(5-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole respectively. We have designed this class of heterocycles by keeping a wide audience in mind, which augment their scientific knowledge. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass, IR spectral studies. Single crystal X-ray analysis of some compounds also gave insight into the structural information.

Rasa Theory Applied to William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

The primary purpose of the paper is to study Shakespeare’s plays Twelfth Night (Western literature) through rasa theory i.e. an Eastern literary theory. Rasa etymologically refers to liquid, flavour, taste, elixir, essence, pleasure, beauty. Literary meaning of rasa, as Bharata defines, is that which is relished or enjoyed. He describes rasa as the delight that the readers experience the generalized emotions presented in the dramatic art. Rasa is a study of universal human emotions. “Rasa is the […] study of emotions which deals with the delight, one takes in literature” (Poonam 5). The ultimate goal of rasa theory is to act as a catalyst to enhance aesthetic delight in literature. Rasa as the soul makes the literature alive. “The aim of performance [is] to evoke [sentiment] in the mind of audience” (Keith 314). Dramatic works appeal to human heart. “Rasa theory embraces humanism as a whole. It does not leave out any of the emotions, which could produce rasa. Rasa theory therefore is an all-pervasive humanistic theory” (Fernando 35). Readers appreciate and relish literature that provides aesthetic enjoyment.

Audience role in mathematical proof development

The role of audiences in mathematical proof has largely been neglected, in part due to misconceptions like those in Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (The new rhetoric: A treatise on argumentation, University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, 1969) which bar mathematical proofs from bearing reflections of audience consideration. In this paper, I argue that mathematical proof is typically argumentation and that a mathematician develops a proof with his universal audience in mind. In so doing, he creates a proof which reflects the standards of reasonableness embodied in his universal audience. Given this framework, we can better understand the introduction of proof methods based on the mathematician’s likely universal audience. I examine a case study from Alexander and Briggs’s work on knot invariants to show that we can fruitfully reconstruct mathematical methods in terms of audiences.

Reminiscing the past, pointing to the future: immigrant memoirs from the early- twentieth-century United States

The aim of this article is to demonstrate that memoirs, which are usually examined in terms of their connection to the past, are often oriented towards the future. Using immigrant memoirs from the early twentieth century United States, this essay shows that immigrant authors wrote their memoirs with a specific audience in mind, an audience they believed they can instruct. One the one hand, immigrants addressed American citizens, and wanting to gain their sympathy, they described the difficulties of the immigrant life. On the other hand, they wrote for their fellow immigrants to show them that determination pays off and one can have a comfortable, or even successful, life in a new country. Their aim was to envision and promote a better future for the American society, a future based on tolerance and equality.

Engagement in Translation: Interactional Metadiscourse Markers in American Presidential Debates

With an audience in mind, politicians draw a political persona whereby their speech is engineered to involve receivers in a promised future. From their vocabulary arsenal, they choose words and structures that maintain a deliberately devised stream of thoughts to urge the electorate to vote. Based on a large corpus, this paper examines a selected number of engaging English expressions including (listener) pronouns, appeals to shared knowledge, directives, questions, and personal asides in order to firstly understand how they function metadiscursively in American presidential debates and, secondly, how they lend themselves to translation into Arabic. The analysis is based on Hyland’s (2005) model of metadiscourse markers and Wieczorek’s (2013) Clusivity in political discourse, with an eye to Nord’s (2007) concept of metacommunication in translation. The findings indicate that omissions and misinterpretations of subtle engagement markers that speak to an audience can disturb the metadiscursive channel as they may shift focus and miscommunicate the messages in terms of the phatic and persuasive functions. In particular, the fact that, unlike English, Arabic is a highly inflectional language, and still lacks research models of metadiscourse markers, places an extra burden on translators between English and Arabic in this sensitive area. Keywords: English, Arabic, translation, metadiscourse, clusivity, political debates.

Bart Moeyaert as Writer, Author, Performer, and Public Figure: "That's Also What Literature Can Be"

Bart Moeyaert as Writer, Author, Performer, and Public Figure:"That's Also What Literature Can Be" Vanessa Joosen (bio) Though only in his mid-fifties, Bart Moeyaert began his writing career over forty years ago, when at age thirteen, he addressed a diary to an imaginary friend called Judith. Caught and ridiculed by one of his brothers, Moeyaert turned the diary into his first novel, which he published at nineteen. In the course of almost four decades as a published author, Moeyaert's views and writing practices have inevitably evolved. These developments can be attributed to personal experiences from living through adolescence, young adulthood, and middle age, which include his increased independence from his family, influential encounters, and the development of his career as an author and teacher. As a writer, he had the chance to experiment with new genres, topics, and writing styles, gradually growing into Belgium's most acclaimed children's author and gaining international fame. In this article, I will highlight four crucial experiences that transformed Bart Moeyaert's views on children's literature and had an impact on his subsequent books: the influence of Aidan Chambers and his distinction between author and writer; the experience of writing primers with specific, target-audience restraints; the pleasure of performing for a dual audience; and his mandate as Antwerp's city poet, which provoked a reflection on the writer as a public figure. What these experiences have in common is that they produced a tension between Moeyaert's personal and artistic desires on the one hand and considerations for his readership and broader social needs on the other. As such, this article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of Moeyaert's developing poetics and diverse oeuvre, and to consider how an author's growing age and concomitant experiences can influence their views and work. Click for larger view View full resolution Author or Writer? Moeyaert wrote his first novels, Duet met valse noten (Duet with False Notes; 1983) and Terug naar af (Back to Square One; 1986), in his teens and early twenties—a time when he was still close in age to the audience of the [End Page 38] books. The novels are both set in school and draw on Moeyaert's intimate knowledge of adolescence. Terug naar af even features an alter ego with the same initials (Matthias Brandt) who, like the author himself, is made to repeat his final year in secondary school. Despite this obvious autobiographical input, Moeyaert wanted the story to be more, and when the book met with some criticism, he felt frustrated that many readers did not pick up on the symbolism in the story: "Apparently it is not expected of an adolescent novel that you would construct another level under the narrative" (qtd. in Lambrechts).1 The desire to construct this additional layer coincided with an incisive experience that Moeyaert often foregrounds in his development as an author: his reading of Aidan Chambers's Dance on My Grave. In 1987, Moeyaert dedicated the thesis of his degree in education to Chambers's works and visited him to discuss views on literature. In an interview a decade later, Moeyaert contrasted Chambers's views with those of his publisher at Altiora/Averbode (Verbeken). His publisher spurred him to keep his young audience in mind when writing—Moeyaert's youth had, after all, been a key factor in the success of his best-selling debut. Chambers made a distinction, inspired by Roland Barthes, between "authors" and "writers" (Chambers 14). Whereas writers are led by their audience, authors are led by their own artistic views and their stories' needs. This is reflected in Dance on My Grave, which Moeyaert describes as "[a] beautiful story about a friendship, if not to say, love, between two boys. But also a formal masterpiece full of flashbacks, repetitions, changes in narrative perspective, and so forth. A magnificent literary kaleidoscope that taught me: ah, that's also what literature can be" (qtd. in Verbeken).2 Moeyaert developed the novels Suzanne Dantine (1989) and Kus me (Kiss Me; 1991) along the lines that Chambers taught him. "Forget about the earlier books," he would say about Suzanne Dantine in 1991. "With...

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL CYBERSECURITY

Emerging technology tools, such as blockchain, cryptoassets, robotic process automation, and artificial intelligence continue to change and influence the economic landscape at both a macro level and in different professional sectors. Pointedly, cybersecurity – far from being reduced in importance or relegated to secondary importance – continues to factor as a core consideration for management professionals. Accounting and financial services practitioners at large have long played a role in advising clients on technology matters as well as integrating technology into internal processes. As technology integration continues to accelerate, and fundamentally change how business processes function, practitioners must be able to assess and explain the implications of these tools on both internal and external processes. Written with both a practitioner and academic audience in mind, this research also leaves the door open for future research, analysis, and discussion.

THE FEAR AND HATRED OF TURKS IN THE EUROPEANS: STRUGGLES TO LOVE

This study examines how Turks are depicted in Howard Barker’s The Europeans: Struggles to Love. Focusing on Europeans’ historical ties with Turks, who posed an immense threat to the future of Europe and Christian world until the seventeenth century, it suggests that very little has changed since then in terms of Europeans’ political relations with Turks with references to contemporary world. Dealing with such issues as freedom, violence, sexuality and history in his plays through which he aims to ‘disturb’ the audience about what is happening in ‘the real world’, Barker indirectly appeals to minds of audience to re-think and re-evaluate all forms of discrimination in contemporary Europe

Marketing approach to the studies of a region’s image

This article explores the problems of studying the image of the region. A positive image of the region, formed in the target audience minds, increases the territory competitiveness, has a significant impact on the resource potential development, budget replenishment, and local production. In these conditions, the image management becomes a significant and relevant task that has important elements such as research and adequate evaluation of the image. This article aims to form a set of indicators that allow studying and evaluating the region’s image using the marketing approach point, through the prism of attractiveness and competitive advantages of the territory. The authors provide an empirical interpretation concept of “a region’s image” with the allocation of structural components such as tourism attractiveness, investment attractiveness, attractiveness for residents of the region, attractiveness of the regional product. In addition, they explain the usage of the indicators’ system to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the region’s image. The concept optimization of the “image of the region” has been performed in the context of the earlier mentioned components of the regional image, with the identification of objective and subjective indicators. The authors have studied some of the Tyumen Region’s image components. The “Investment Attractiveness” component is based on objective assessments of the region’s investment attractiveness ratings; the “Attractiveness for residents” component is based on subjective assessments of the Tyumen Region and Tyumen city residents of their living standards, social well-being, satisfaction with life improvement (quality of life), assessment of regional status in public opinion, and attitude to the region as a place of residence. The presented model allows identifying priority areas of the work on the region’s image and assessing the performed activities.

The Effect of Religion and Denomination on Calmness in Residential Spaces Based on Islamic Teachings.

As elements of culture and also as social-cultural phenomena, religion and denomination are the sources of creating change, difference and contrast in various places. Although indifference has been practically the approach adopted toward religion and its belongings in the contemporary world and today's human life, the religious and Islamic discussions have been among the important issues drawing a lot of attentions from the contemporaries in the theoretical arena. Islam has paid a particular attention to the house as the place of living and calmness for the human beings and believes in certain conditions for it. The theoretical foundations of Islamic mindset are neglected in today's houses so they are in need of revitalization in their designs and redesigning based on the original Islamic patterns. Nowadays, spatial meaningfulness is among the most important solutions of granting quality to the architectural spaces, especially residential spaces, and the designers and architects are making efforts in the area of paying attention to such concepts as calmness that can subsequently lead to the psychological health. The environmental designers and planners have paid attention to the quality of spaces and the role of perceptional indicators in forming the various spaces with the development of the human communities and appearance of meanings' gaps in the constructed spaces. These are the spaces that induce a sense of tranquility and pleasure followed by a sense of attachment and identity to the audience mind and revive the feelings of being present and existent in them. In this article, the effect of the Islamic teachings on the architectural spaces and places as theoretical bases has been investigated in various areas. The current article has been conducted with the objective of investigating the Islamic architectural pattern related to the housing in the Holy Quran's ĀYĀT and the possibility of using it as an Islamic pattern as a result of doing research and exploration in the Holy Quran, Nemooneh Interpretation and relevant articles and books. The achievement of the Islamic pattern and methods for semantic qualification and their application to a place and creating of an environmental calmness followed by psychological health based on the Islamic teachings in the residential spaces are among the findings underlined by the present research paper.

Book Review: Measures for Community and Neighborhood Research

Increasingly, the field of service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) research is examining community partnerships and their impacts in an effort to better demonstrate the reciprocity at the core of SLCE practice. Recent impassioned calls for more and better research highlight this gap. A great resource for the SLCE field to answer such calls is the book, Measures for Community and Neighborhood Research by Mary L. Ohmer, Claudia Coulton, Darcy A. Freedman, Joanne L. Sobeck, and Jamie Booth. While this book is not written with the SLCE audience in mind, its relevance to the field is palpable.

Rites of Return: Back to the Mediterranean, again

ABSTRACTThe idea of ‘returning’ to the Mediterranean dates back to the earliest attempts to formulate a distinct anthropology of the region. Why is this? Certain approaches to the Mediterranean are durable for good reasons; familiarity with them can help us avoid the unwitting recursion of stereotypical frames without simply dismissing important work done in the past or implying that new work is unrelated to older approaches. Contemporary forms of mobility (of people, information, and commodities) are reshaping the Mediterranean, necessitating alternative, multi-scalar approaches to hospitality, honour, patronage, religious pluralism, European boundary-making and other well-established topics. Attention to mobility requires new modes of analysis, and the essays in this issue are especially good at showing the connections between cultural processes that unfold in different locations, at different scales, and with different audiences in mind. Returning to the Mediterranean on these terms might take us places that are genuinely new to anthropology.

How Stablecoin Implementation Can Lead to Increased Accounting Clarity and Standardization

Stablecoins represent the current iteration of cryptoasset development and implementation but remain an area in which further development and research is necessary to improve the reporting and accounting codification conversation. Although the various iterations of stablecoins do purport to address some of the significant problems and issues preventing wide adoption and implementation of cryptocurrencies there is also some debate around the future of these cryptoassets. Accounting and reporting guidelines for cryptoassets overall, including stablecoins, remain fragmented due to regulatory misunderstanding as well regulatory scrutiny over proposed stablecoin projects. What this research does is present both an analysis of stablecoins as well as put forth a number of suggestions as to how stablecoins can help drive the accounting classification dialogue forward. Written with both a practitioner and academic audience in mind this research can be used to pursue further implementation and research projects moving forward.

TAGLINE "ADA AQUA" EFFECTIVENESS USING EPIC MODEL IN KELURAHAN RANGKAPAN JAYA BARU PANCORAN MAS DEPOK

One measure of the success of advertising is its ability to create perspective space in the minds of audiences and consumers. Advertising as a message delivery tool does not only function to provide information, is persuasive and reminds audiences, but must also have an impact on consumers in the form of purchasing actions and attitudes towards products as expected by producers. This study aims to analyze the impact of AQUA product advertisements with the tagline “Ada AQUA” to consumers by using the EPIC model (Emphaty, Persuation, Impact, Communication). The research method used is quantitative descriptive. The results showed that AQUA ads with the tagline "Ada AQUA" were in the effective category as evidenced by the results of Emphaty dimensions of 4.15, which meant consumers liked and were interested in AQUA ads, Persuation dimensions of 3.89 showed AQUA ads were able to strengthen their image and character in the minds of consumers, the Impact dimension of 3.93 shows consumers more easily recognize AQUA ads with that tagline and Communcations dimensions of 4.06 indicate consumers are able to remember AQUA ads well. Broadly speaking, the conclusions obtained are AQUA ads with the tagline “Ada AQUA” effective in delivering the message to the target audience (consumers)

Electrochemical Techniques in Battery Research: A Tutorial for Nonelectrochemists

AbstractMany researchers who are now active in the flourishing field of battery research are coming from backgrounds other than electrochemistry, and might not be in possession of a systematic electrochemical training before they start the journey of “building better batteries.” With this specific audience in mind, the authors review electrochemical techniques commonly used in battery research. Starting from an introduction of the basic electrochemistry concepts, the authors offer a detailed discussion of potential, galvanic, and impedance measurement techniques, providing practical details and useful comments on performing both the data acquisition and analysis. One aim of this essay is to emphasize the importance of standard evaluation of the battery performance.

Emerging Technologies and the Accounting Profession: Trends and Topics for Practitioners to Consider

Emerging technology and technology tools such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, and automation at large continue to drive change and disruption throughout the broader financial services landscape. While numerous articles, webcasts, and books have been put together analyzing these different topics and the implications they might have on different areas of the professional landscape, this article proposes a different approach. Instead of focusing on definitions, terminology, or assessing potential impacts at a higher level or through a broad scope of possible applications, this research examines certain specific trends and aspects of these technologies and the impacts they will generate on the profession. Definitions and work terminology will, of course, be a part of this research, but that does not form the core of this piece. Rather, and written with both a practitioner and academic audience in mind, certain emerging topics such and applications built on top of blockchain technology, as well as implementation issues connected to other emerging issues, are the core of this piece.

Media Imperialism and Cultural Dissatisfaction: A Case Study of Undergraduate Students in Islamabad

The objective of the research was to dig out the effects of exposure to western television channels among the undergraduate students in Islamabad on their cultural dissatisfaction. The extent of dissatisfaction about Pakistani culture and positive assumptions in favor of western culture was noted. A convenient sampled survey with equal representation of male and female gender was applied. It was found that exposure to western television channels makes an alien world in the minds of audience (t=3.02). A considerable variance in assumption inclined to foreign culture was assessed (β=0.32). Moreover, income and time spent remained the important factors to make the western alien culture a reality.

Towards a digital, data-driven wayang kulit encyclopedia

ABSTRACTWayang kulit encyclopedias were first produced in the early 20th century, but their publications have experienced a recent surge in interest that has received little academic attention. This article chronicles the intellectual history of these encyclopedias and describes an experiment where their contents were reformatted into a data-driven web portal. This re-ordering and disruption allow for a different interaction with encyclopedic knowledge on wayang. For example, it enables the identification of statistical patterns in the connections between puppets that can be visualised as network diagrams. All encyclopedias distort and interpret the living tradition of wayang according to specific knowledge projects, and with different audiences in mind. In this article, I use the concept of epistemic virtues, borrowed from the philosophy of science, to help elucidate what these different encyclopedias aim to achieve and how they do so. Thinking in terms of epistemic virtues has the advantage that it underlines the culturally specific and historically contingent aspects of different epistemic projects.

Teaching Socio-Legal Research Methodology: Participant Observation

The basics of how to conduct participant observation are not taught in law schools. This is striking because this methodology has become a common feature of qualitative research and could be very useful in sociolegal research. For those interested in studying ‘law in practice’ instead of ‘law in the books’, qualitative research methods like participant observation are inevitable. However, participant observation is, at best, secondary in the literature on qualitative research in the sociolegal discipline, while there is no guidance on how to conduct this technique whatsoever.Therefore, this article is written with two audiences in mind: It should serve as a useful reference and guide for those who teach qualitative research methods in legal education and who are looking to enhance their knowledge and skills concerning participant observation; it is also meant to serve as a basic primer for the beginning sociolegal researcher who is about to become a participating observer for the first time.
