Active Service and Environmental Damage in Revolutionary Ireland

The Irish Revolution inflicted significant damage to built-up and natural landscapes between 1916 and 1923. Destruction transcended national and ideological divisions and remained a fixture within Irish urban and rural landscapes years after independence, presenting an Ireland politically transformed yet physically disfigured. An environmental reading of this transformative period calls into question many of its established lessons and interpretative boundaries, including the agency and considerations of those who participated in and witnessed it. This article examines the extent and impacts of environmental destruction experienced on communal levels throughout the revolution, and how a war that was waged on higher ideological grounds very often disrupted and alienated the everyday lives of communities and individuals.

Effective Communication in Social Life

Communication is something that is needed in everyday life, if we are not careful in communicating we can be denied that it will lead to misunderstanding of fellow human beings. Communication in everyday life both in social life, by using verbal words, but also using non-verbal words. Without communicating, there will be no relationship between fellow living things. This correspondence relationship is related to the attitude or behavior of everyone who also has to change or has the potential to adapt to a different society. Each of these cultures will shape, fortify and change mentality and behavior both individually and socially in the social climate in question. For that we have to instill good communication to make a decent life between us. And then in conveying not only to convey the message, but to change behavior. So that with effective communication, we can understand each other and can strengthen one another.

Choosing Discourse Types That Align With Person-Centered Goals in Aphasia Rehabilitation: A Clinical Tutorial

Purpose: People with aphasia and their families want rehabilitation services that improve real-world communication. Thus, clinicians and researchers have increased focus on discourse-level interventions and outcome measures, most often using monologue tasks to assess discourse production and guide treatment planning. However, communication in everyday life usually involves participating in conversational discourse. This mismatch raises concern because the literature indicates that different types of discourse possess different linguistic and interactional characteristics and that the communication skills of people with aphasia vary across different types of discourse. In order to provide appropriate, client-centered services, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) need resources that outline the linguistic and interactional characteristics of each type of discourse. Few user-friendly materials of this sort exist. This tutorial aims to equip clinicians with essential foundational knowledge regarding features of narrative, procedural, and expository monologue, as well as conversation, to aid in the design of discourse-level interventions specific to each individual's discourse needs. Method: This tutorial provides an overview of the research regarding the structure and function of commonly assessed and treated forms of discourse, along with findings regarding the varied and unpredictable communicative performance of people with aphasia across the different types of discourse. We then provide practical applied clinical examples to illustrate the literature findings. Conclusion: Given the differences between types of discourse, when SLPs include discourse in a client's treatment program, the types of discourse activities the client wants to address should align very closely with the types of discourse assessed and treated in the clinic room.

Real Time Indian Sign Language Recognition using Deep LSTM Networks

Abstract: On our planet, people with speech and hearing disabilities are part of society. Communication becomes difficult when it is necessary to interact with survivors and the general public. In some races, people with disabilities practice different sign languages for communication. For people with speech and hearing disabilities, sign language is a basic means of communication in everyday life. However, a large portion of our community is unaware of the sign languages they practice, so bringing them into the mainstream is an incredible challenge. Today, computer vision-based solutions are still well received for helping the general public understand sign language. Many analysts are trying out one of his computer vision-based sign language recognition solutions, Recognition of Hand Gesture. Lately it’s been a popular area of research in various vernacular languages being used across the world. Through this research work, we propose a solution to this problem using Keypoint identification and Neural Network architecture for real time sign language recognition. This architecture uses a Long Short Term Memory architecture (LSTM) giving the best accuracy of 91.5% in prediction of words as well as phrases of Indian Sign Language

“Infrasecular” geographies and the multifaceted significance of a European shrine cathedral

ABSTRACT This paper explores how the significance of the pilgrimage shrine church, the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is layered and multifaceted for its local community. This cathedral is more than a sacred and pilgrimage landscape. Utilizing “infrasecular” geographies as an analytical lens, this article provides greater insight into the multifaceted and layered significance(s) of the Cathedral for the local community. It focuses more specifically on how the Cathedral can be temporarily transformed by vernacular performances of everyday community life and social interactions to produce banal and, as examined in this article, Galician nationalist (regional) space. Recognizing the continuous processes of making and unmaking of “infrasecular” geographies shifts the focus away from a binary understanding of religious versus secular space to acknowledge the dynamic and overlapping meanings of sacred landscapes within society.

CONVERSATIAONAL ANALYSIS AS A TOOL OF DRAMA DISCOURSE RESEARCH (BASED ON THE DRAMAS OF THE BRITISH PLAYWRIGHTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY)

The article examines the texts of dramas of British playwrights of the 20th century through the prism of the methodology of conversational analysis (CA). CA is a relatively new branch of Pragmatics and Sociolinguistics that investigates the features of speech interaction: the structure and formal properties of speech, which help interlocutors to interpret each other’s behaviour, language means at the empiric level, which put in order and control the sequence of expressions of interlocutors. CA developed from the theories of social organization of ethnomethodology by Harold Garfinkel. Sociologists and linguists Harvey Sacks, Emanuel A. Schegloff, and Gail Jefferson became the founders of the new research method of a dialogue (polilogue). Basic methodical principle of CA is collecting and fixing of the material in the situations of a real communication in everyday life. As a result of empiric data processing the categories of CA were developed: turn-taking, reparations, overlaps, sequences, adjacent pairs, and preferences. Turn takings are the base element of conversation organization. They are wellorganized utterances. A change of interlocuters is obligatory for turn-taking. They are also characterized by the presence of structural and allocational components. The first determines the volume and form of an utterance, the second is responsible for a choice of the next speaker. The sequence of utterances in a conversation is set on rules according to which a current interlocuter elects the following one. This is marked in a relevant transit point by means of one or a number of linguistic, paralinguistic or nonverbal facilities. It is also possible that another participant of a conversation starts talking on their own. If no one is willing to talk, a current interlocutor may continue talking. Nowadays conversationalists study not only real-life (domestic or institutional) but also written texts, that may be a representation of real-life talks (those which contain a direct address to the interlocutor or audience, have the system of turn-taking including more than one interlocutor). Such method of research can be applied to the analysis of drama discourse organization. The text of a drama is built, mainly, on the principle of exchange remarks between characters, and it is the interaction that is a global means of characters description, and action development, and also a means of the main idea expression. All the above mentioned makes it possible to apply CA to drama discourse research.

Keywords: Language Attitude, Language Defense, Sasak Language

Community Place Initiatives post-austerity, and how a ‘civic’ School of Architecture might support them

Austerity measures have been discussed widely since sweeping cuts have been made to local government budgets following the global financial crisis of 2007-08. More than a decade later, the impact of these measures on everyday lives of communities is still growing. We use the context of austerity to discuss our research in partnership with Community Place Initiatives in the city of Sheffield, UK, and to examine the approaches they use to attempt to overcome the shortcomings and challenges of precarity.This article focuses on revealing the impacts that budget cuts have had and are still having, and speculates upon what these findings mean for the role that schools of architecture can play outside the academy. We draw on research conducted by Urban Education Live Sheffield - a team of researchers and educators from the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield in the UK, and the Department of Architecture, Technische Universität Braunschweig in Germany. The team is part of a broader international project, Urban Education Live (UEL), a multidisciplinary research project with partners from across Europe funded by the ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures (ENSUF) programme, established by the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe.Through a multi-modal ethnographic and design-led approach combining interviews, case studies, and ‘live’ pedagogy, we examine how Community Place Initiatives in Sheffield deal with a context that has fundamentally changed the ways in which they operate in, or in relation to, their place over the past decade. We explore how collaborations between these local partners and architectural researchers and students can be mutually beneficial within this context, in order to speculate upon how such collaborations can be more effective in their contribution to local place-based urban capacity building and future resilience.

Повседневная семейно-родственная коммуникация: новая реальность, динамика языковых и культурных процессов

The article examines the changes that have occurred in family-related communication. The research is based on family speech handwritten notes and transcripts of voice records made by the author and the students of her special seminar, correspondence of family members and relatives in various messengers, as well as on the speech material presented in articles and books published by various researchers. The purpose of the study is to show how changes in everyday life, caused by new realities of the domestic sphere, various events in the country and the world, the development of information technology, affect family-related communication and speech, and by and large, the very existence of the family. Changes in the domestic sphere – the emergence of new social objects, new household cleaning supplies, development of fashion industry and everything that is, in one way or another, connected with the daily routine of a person – lead to expanding and updating the lexical field of familyrelated communication. There is high penetration of new lexical units, primarily borrowings from other languages, into family speech, including the speech of children. The research has shown that such an active and rapid borrowing process can give rise to misunderstanding between different generations in the family. The focus of the study is on the development of mediated communication in everyday life. Both positive and negative factors of information technologies influence are noted. Mediatization of the population, the use of cellular phones affect the nature of family communication, etiquette, and cultural norms and absorb free time. The line between work and home communication is blurred, which has a devastating effect on the life of the family as one of the most important institutions of society, designed to ensure the stability of its existence.

Social media addiction profiles and their antecedents using latent profile analysis: The contribution of social anxiety, gender, and age

The prevalence of social media addiction has increased with the intensive use of technologically-mediated communication in everyday life. Most studies on social media addiction are based on the variable-centered approach with very few taking a person-centered approach. Since only one previous study has investigated the profiles of social media addiction based on a psychopathological model, it is important to bring a complementary view by exploring psychosocial traits associated with the different levels of maladaptive social media use, as well as antecedents of these profiles in terms of sociodemographic variables. To fill this gap, the present study explored social media addiction profiles based on a psychosocial model. The profile indicators were social media addiction, need to belong, anxious attachment, and social media intensity use (SMIU). Data were collected from 705 participants (61% females, age range 18–54 years, Mage = 30.2 years). Latent profile analysis (LPA) showed three distinct profiles: ‘low risk of addiction’ (61.3%), ‘moderate risk of addiction’ (29.6%), and ‘high risk of addiction’ (9.1%). Social anxiety, gender, and age were antecedents of the profiles. These results based on mixture modeling approach are meaningful to the field, bringing a complementary view to the previous findings obtained in a psychopathological framework. The findings could aid practitioners in the development of targeting at-risk social media users, namely social anxious young adult females with an unmet need to belong and anxious attachment, and designing programs to help them to develop rewarding social relationships and healthy social media use.

An Analysis of Convergence in Speaking Skills among the Eleventh-Graders

Communication’s objective is to deliver information from one person to another. People adapt their communication in everyday life in order to attain the purpose of communication. It can be shown which features of convergence mostly appeal appear communication-related to the reason for it. The aim of this study is to analyze the English convergence in speaking skills among the eleventh-grade students at senior high school in Lampung Tengah, Indonesia. It is especially interested in analyzing the most dominant feature of convergence and why the students have it when speaking English. In this study, a qualitative method using a case study approach was applied. The participants were chosen from a group of sixteen eleventh graders. A classroom observations sheet and interview session were used to collect the data. The result of the study shows that the most dominant feature of convergence in speaking skills among the eleventh graders at senior high school in Lampung Tengah, Indonesia is Utterance Length. Utterance length involves Listening and Clarifying. All students certainly listen to the interlocutor and are speechless while clarifying. Secondly, the reason for the eleventh graders at senior high school in Lampung Tengah, Indonesia apply convergence is to be attracted by others and evoke social status.

Bahasa Indonesia Penutur Asing Sebagai Upaya Internasionalisasi Universitas di Indonesia

Language is a means of communication in everyday life. The existence of Indonesian as an international language in the international arena cannot be doubted. There are several universities in Asia, Australia and mainland Europe that offer Indonesian language learning as a compulsory subject. The international formulation of language appears to require reexamination and strategy. This is for the effectiveness of the implementation of all programs that have been designed and implemented. What's even more surprising is when foreign speakers of Indonesian actually participate in the Malay language national speech program organized by the state of Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to be able to describe the importance of BIPA learning at universities and describe the implementation of the policy of independent learning in BIPA lessons at any university. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method (Lina Septianasari, 2021).

Experiences of language and communication after brain-tumour treatment: A long-term follow-up after glioma surgery

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore how persons having received various treatments for glioma, a type of brain tumour, experience their language, speech, and communication in everyday life. Twelve persons with low-grade glioma and one with high-grade glioma who had undergone tumour resection in 2014–2016 in different tumour locations were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol. The video-recorded interviews were transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis, which revealed three manifest categories, nine sub-categories and one latent theme. Participants experienced changed communication that affected word finding, motor speech and comprehension. They also expressed how communication required a greater effort; time and context were important factors and participants felt frustrated with their communication. Further, they were dealing with changes and used multiple strategies to manage communication. For most participants it did not affect their everyday life, but it was not like before. In addition, participants adapted their way of living to manage illness-related problems. Uncertainty was a latent theme which emanated from the participants’ illness experience, reflecting how living with a slow-growing brain tumour affects life-decisions and views of perceived symptoms. Discussion of how results can be interpreted in relation to previous research and health care are included.

Analysis of The Effect of Communication on Employee Performance

Abstract: 
 In everyday life communication remains a major part. Humans are designed as social creatures, meaning they cannot live without other people. When working, communication is still needed so that work runs smoothly and goals can be achieved. There is also the effect of communication on employee performance which is interesting to know. Communication in the company can be likened to food for the body, which is the most important thing in doing work. As employees, they need communication in order to complete the work that has been agreed upon. In addition, communication can also eliminate and incorrect assumptions between employees, thereby creating a healthy work environment. This research includes qualitative research because this research has the aim of obtaining answers related to employee performance so that the discussion must be qualitative or use word analysis. The results showed that communication has a close relationship with employee performance. The existence of good communication will greatly affect the performance produced by employees. Because basically communication is needed in existing activities, so that with good communication it can spur employees to be able to improve their respective performance and morale.

Bahasa Sebagai Alat Komunikasi Dalam Kehidupan Manusia

Humans need communication to help survival, one of which is by using language as a means of communication. Language is the most effective communication tool in conveying messages, thoughts, feelings, goals to others and allows for creating cooperation between humans. So that the role of language becomes very dominant in various human daily activities. The purpose of this study is to describe matters relating to language as a means of communication and communication in everyday life. The method used in this research is the literature review method, the data are collected from relevant literature data. The result of this research and discussion is to explain about language as a communication tool which discusses the function of language as a human communication tool which includes five basic functions, namely the function of expression, the function of information, the function of exploration, the function of persuasion, and the function of entertainment. And explain about communication in everyday life which discusses why we communicate and the language used when communicating in everyday life. As social beings, of course humans in their lives need communication to be able to establish relationships with other humans. Language is the most effective tool or medium for conveying thoughts, with human language being able to interact and talk about anything. For this reason, every human being communicates to get or convey information or messages

Психофизиология исполнительных функций при печати на компьютере

In recent decades, computer typing has become one of the fundamental tools for personal communication in everyday life. Typing is a multi-level hierarchical process that involves a large number of cognitive and physiological functions. Executive functions (EF), such as working memory and executive control, actively influence the inhibitory and activation processes during typing. Using the example of the work of the IF, one can observe the hierarchical organization of the central and peripheral parts of the nervous system during typing. However, there are not so many studies aimed at studying the neurophysiology of typing, and there were no works devoted to the study of EF in typing. In this regard, this article discusses the potential possibilities of studying EF by typing on a computer and provides examples of experiments and models that can be used in such studies. The article also describes the main psychophysiological studies in which typing was involved and a review of methods for studying and analyzing typing was conducted.

Auditory-visual scenes for hearing research

While experimentation with synthetic stimuli in abstracted listening situations has a long standing and successful history in hearing research, an increased interest exists on closing the remaining gap towards real-life listening by replicating situations with high ecological validity in the lab. This is important for understanding the underlying auditory mechanisms and their relevance in real-life situations as well as for developing and evaluating increasingly sophisticated algorithms for hearing assistance. A range of ‘classical’ stimuli and paradigms have evolved to de-facto standards in psychoacoustics, which are simplistic and can be easily reproduced across laboratories. While they ideally allow for across laboratory comparisons and reproducible research, they, however, lack the acoustic stimulus complexity and the availability of visual information as observed in everyday life communication and listening situations. This contribution aims to provide and establish an extendable set of complex auditory-visual scenes for hearing research that allow for ecologically valid testing in realistic scenes while also supporting reproducibility and comparability of scientific results. Three virtual environments are provided (underground station, pub, living room), consisting of a detailed visual model, an acoustic geometry model with acoustic surface properties as well as a set of acoustic measurements in the respective real-world environments. The current data set enables i) audio–visual research in a reproducible set of environments, ii) comparison of room acoustic simulation methods with “ground truth” acoustic measurements, iii) a condensation point for future extensions and contributions for developments towards standardized test cases for ecologically valid hearing research in complex scenes.

The use of social media for professional purposes by healthcare professionals: the #intEHRAct survey.

Social media (SoMe) represents a medium of communication in everyday life and has gained importance for professional use among clinicians. In the #intEHRAct survey, we aimed to describe the use of SoMe by the healthcare community in a professional setting. The EHRA e-Communication Committee and the Scientific Initiatives Committee prepared a questionnaire and distributed it via newsletters, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The survey consisted of 19 questions made on an individual basis and collected anonymously. Two hundred and eighty-five responders from 35 countries (72.3% male, age 49 ± 11 years old) completed the survey. Most respondents (42.7%) declared to use SoMe as passive users while 38.3% and 19.0% declared to share content on a non-daily and daily basis, respectively. The respondents estimated they spent a median of 5 (Q1-Q3: 2-10) h per week on SoMe. The most widely used SoMe was LinkedIn (60.8%), but the use of each platform was heterogeneous between countries. Among the advantages of SoMe, respondents indicated the chance of being updated on recent publications (66.0%), networking (48.5%), and the availability of rare or interesting cases (47.9%) as the most useful. Regarding the disadvantages of SoMe, the respondents underlined the loss of personal contact (40.7%), the inability to get 'hands-on' training (38.7%), and the lack of control regarding quality of scientific evidence (37.1%). Social media is increasingly used for professional purposes for scientific updating, networking, and case-based learning. The results of this survey encourage scientific societies, journals, and authors to enhance the quality, reach and impact of scientific content provided through SoMe.

Komunikasi Interversonal yang Efektif

Indonesia. The rise of these murder cases is due to the Indonesian nation experiencing a moral crisis. The crisis occurs because of the loss of a person's sense of empathy when communicating interpersonally with others. Someone who does not have empathy can potentially carry out aggressive acts that can harm themselves and others. Empathy is very important in communication because with empathy individuals are able to suppress aggressive actions and control emotions. Humans need to socialize with each other. In everyday life communication becomes an event to exchange information verbally and non-verbally. Empathy is also important in interpersonal communication, because interpersonal communication requires mutual understanding between the two communicating parties. This study focuses on exploring interpersonal communication skills in level (I) one students. The study was conducted on 5 students of level (I) one, because it is a transition stage from a student to a student. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of phenomenological research, because the researcher wants to describe a meaning from the experiences of several individuals regarding the concept of communication skills. Based on the data obtained, it is known that level (I) one students have interpersonal communication skills but have not been able to apply them well in everyday life.

Digital platforms as entangled infrastructures: Addressing public values and trust in messaging apps

Digital platforms have increasingly become accepted and trusted by European citizens as indispensable utilities for social interaction and communication in everyday life. This article aims to analyze how trust in and dependence of these ubiquitous platforms for mediated communication is configured and the kind of consequences this has for user (dis)empowerment and public values. Our analysis builds on insights from the domestication perspective and infrastructure studies. In order to illustrate our conceptual approach, we use the case of messaging apps. We demonstrate how these apps as an essential social infrastructure are entangled with a corporate-computational infrastructure. The entangling of both types of infrastructures leads to a paradox where users feel compelled to appropriate these socially indispensable apps in everyday life, while also making them dependent on their corporate control mechanisms. In order to get out of the paradox and empower users these infrastructures and their data sharing need to be disentangled. For this, we apply the notion of ‘infrastructural inversion’ as a way to surface opaque and hidden properties of the digital platforms. We conclude with a discussion of potential other routes for infrastructural inversion in order to establish data disentanglement that serves public interest values.
