Discourse Analysis on Procedure Text to Practice Self Directing Learning

Discourse is language in context referring to language in action, while a text is written record of interaction or communicative event that brings together language, the individual producing the language and context within which language used. So, this research aims to conduct discourse analysis of the student’s difficulties to practice self-directing learning in writing procedure text. The subjects of this research are the total students (25 students) of grade 9 MTS UnggulanNurul Islam Jember with 10 students as the samples of the data. The data collection was conducted by using a random sampling method. The data was categorized according to Donald Aryet all (2010, 8th edition). The approach of this research design was descriptive qualitative that used interactive and humanistic multiple methods to present the data gained from analyzing, observation, literature study, in-depth interviews and documentation study. From the research, it was found that the students did some faulty actions in understanding the description and orders from the teacher especially the language features of procedure text, vocabulary, grammatical and organizational error. Consequently, as the research objectives this eventually will give a positive contribution to the teacher to follow up the difficulties

Ethnography of Communication in Improving Social Interaction of Children with Special Needs

The purpose of this study is to describe communicative events, communicative actions, communicative situations between teachers and students with autism in interacting with the school environment at SLB Aisyiah Krian. The research method used in this research is using qualitative research with an ethnographic communication study approach. The results of the study explain that the Ethnography of Communication in Improving Social Interaction of Children with Special Needs "Teachers and Students with Autism SLB Aisyiah Krian" is to show that in the ethnography of communication communication activities are part of the activities of autistic students while learning at school, which can be seen from several components, namely communicative events seen through the word SPEAKING, communicative actions that are identical to the use of non-verbal communication, and communicative situations, namely the location will be considered the same when autistic students interact with the teacher even though the location changes

Communication Audit during Covid-19 Pandemic at Brawijaya University Hospital

The flow of organizational communication has an influence on organizational effectiveness related to the relationship or implementation and achievement of organizational goals. Moreover, the effectiveness of communication depends on several aspects, such as communication events aspect, organizational communication climate, and organizational communication satisfaction aspect, so that all members of the organization can be motivated to achieve the goals of the organization. In order to have a good communication system, a healthy organization generally shows an open management style, both internal and external openness of the organization. This study aims to analyze the internal communication system at Brawijaya University Hospital (RSUB) regarding employee engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic period of January 2022-July 2022 through a communication audit. The audit process is carried out the Medical Approach or Doctor-Patient Model. For the data collection technique is in the form of questionnaires, namely Organizational Communication Inventory and interviews. The sample used in the form of variation of levels at the Brawijaya University Hospital which it is categorized based on the members of the organization position according to the hierarchy or structure that applies at the University of Brawijaya Hospital with a total of 206 people. The results present that the subordinate indicators have the lowest mean value with the most of the respondents in the low category. It indicates that the communication relationships in the workplace with subordinates need to get attention and improvement between the communication relationships with members of the organization. The lack of good communication relation with subordinates is affected by the lack of appropriateness between the superiors working with one of their subordinates which cause poor communication between the superior and subordinates.

Problematic Implementation of High Order Thinking and Innovative Instructional Design in Teaching Language: A Study from Inservice Training for English Teachers

The in-service training delivered in Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG) aims at increasing teacher’s knowledge and skills in teaching English. Language Teaching is dependent on philosophical assumption on the nature of language and language learning. Language teaching is terminated at using language skillfully in various communicative events. The in-service training is based on a general theory that is implemented through the application of high order thinking (HOT), the innovative instructional design, namely: Problem Based Learning (PBL), and Project Based Learning (PjBL). This study intended to find out the application of HOT, PBL and PJBL. The data of this study were taken from lesson plans (RPP) and its implementation in classroom interaction. The data were analyzed by using the related theory as temporary category of identification, classification and interpretation. The results show that (1) the teachers are constrained by the use of operational verbs of HOT in formulating its indicators in KD 3 (knowledge competence), and in KD4 (skills) which resulted in the improper way of teaching English, (2) the teachers are compelled by the syntax of PBL and PjBL into improper steps of teaching English, (3) the teachers unconsciously made technology as media as the objective rather than as facilitation to language learning and consequently it turned the teaching of English into teaching about language, like teaching content knowledge such as Biology, Physics, etc, rather than enabling the students to use English communicatively. These findings lead to the conclusion that the teaching of English should be mainly based on the theory of language and the theory of language learning. Other theories imported from other disciplines or from educational psychology should be adapted to the theory of language and language learning. Key Words: Media, Competence, High order thinking, Innovative instruction.

Klassieke retoriek as basis vir hedendaagse openbare spraakkommunikasieleerinhoude

This article explores a number of characteristics of the conceptual structure and teaching of classical rhetoric, and indicates that the subject contents of rhetoric were based at the outset on certain principles and con texts of public communication events in the world in which people lived. This approach to the identification of the subject contents of oral communication has not changed substantially over time, nor have the basic categories by which public communication was originally distinguished as a field of study. What has changed considerably, is the human concept of the fundamental nature and scope of communication principles and contexts, the perspectives from which it is approached and its ontological and philosophical basis. The ordering and systemisation of these are naturally expressed in a more comprehensive and scientific conceptual system than was the case in the classical era. In order to gain a thorough understanding of the complex system, however, It is necessary to study its classical rhetorical roots.

Distributed utility‐based real‐time power flow optimization in ICT‐enabled low voltage distribution grids

AbstractLow‐Voltage (LV) distribution grids are facing a rapid increase of connected Photovoltaic (PV) power plants as well as flexible consumers like Battery‐Electric Vehicle (BEV) chargers and Heat Pumps (HPs). The coordinated operation of these generation, storage and consumption units, referred to as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), is regarded as a key requirement to maximize the benefits of renewable generation without violating, for example, voltage limits. Therefore, an operation management scheme was proposed in previous work that optimizes the power flows in LV grids in real‐time, where optimality is expressed as a maximization of the utility that DER owners experience from power consumption or injection, respectively. In this contribution, this method is extended by: (1) detailing a time‐varying utility‐model to express customer needs, (2) introducing a distributed implementation enhancing the robustness to failures, (3) developing a testbed using a real‐time digital power grid simulator and a communication network emulator, and (4) integrating a real‐time information flooding protocol. The performance is evaluated in different simulation scenarios, showing that the proposed method is able to cooperatively utilize the flexible units in order to fulfil the DER owners' needs even in the event of controller failures and constrained communication.

PRAKTIK DOMINASI TOKOH ANTAGONIS MELALUI KEKERASAN SIMBOLIK DALAM FILM BETTER DAYS《少年的你》

When language is used in communication events, there also as an ideological distiction and a desire to dominate each other among its users. Because language is never separated from ideological motives, including domination motives. Domination occurs due to the existence of a strong group as the dominating party and a weak group as the dominated party with language as an instrument to achieve it. Symbolic violence marked by language forms that represent language crimes is a realization of the practice of domination. Through symbolic violence, the dominant party imposes its ideological influence on the dominant group. The practice of domination through symbolic violence can be found in the dialogue text of the antagonist in the film Better Days《少年的你》by Derek Tsang which is used as a data source. The patterned language forms used by the antagonist to attack the main character are used as data. After the data is identified and classified, it is analyzed through a qualitative approach using the concept of Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence. The results of the analysis are presented through a descriptive method to obtain a detailed and concrete picture of the practice of domination of antagonist characters through symbolic violence. The results of the analysis show that symbolic violence, which represents the practice of domination, is realized through forms of language that have functioned as the language of punishment, the language of intimidation, the language of prohibition, the language of accusation, the language of insults, and language of command. Cultural capital (attitudes and lifestyles) is the most dominant capital that represents the attitudes and behavior of antagonists to produce and reproduce texts to legitimize their domination. Based on the frequency of occurrence, forbidden language is the most productive form of language, and accusation language is the language form with the least frequency of occurrence.

Form – Meaning – Usage Synergy in LSP & Professional Communication

This article deals with computer security terminology from the perspective of Fillmore’sframe semantics. Cognitive linguists have proved that semantics is realised in context and contributesto cognition. This article aims to analyse which semantic roles are prevalent for usingcomputer security terms in context. Our evidence proves that the term’s meaning and semantic role in the frame corresponding to a communicative event are interrelated. The research has been carried out on a manually collected corpus of computer security texts, comprising terms in their contexts. The data are analysed as follows. First, a thematic categorisation of terms is carried out. Then semantic frame modelling is applied. After that, we generalise our findings and achieve sufficient abstraction in the conclusion about the presence of form – meaning – usage interdependence in professional discourse and LSP. Finally, we discuss the place of semantic framing in the multimodality of professional communication regarding the logic and philosophy of language.

Gender/Definiteness and Number in Kara

This paper aims to examine the noun inflection for gender/definiteness and number in the Kara language. which is spoken by approximately 1,000 people. The data for this study were collected using communicative events and elicitation. Kara nouns distinguish gender/definiteness and number. Kara has two-way gender distinctions for animates: the masculine and the feminine, and it is semantically motivated. Some inanimate Kara nouns are feminine by default, and some are masculine by default. The inanimate noun that is feminine by default may sometimes take the masculine gender marker to express smallness or less importance. On the contrary, an inanimate noun that is masculine by default may take the feminine gender marker to refer to largeness or more importance. One of thefascinating features of the Kara nouns is that it uses feminine gender to express augmentative value, but it uses masculine gender to express diminutive semantic value. The masculine and feminine gender are marked by the suffixes -(t)a and -(to)no respectively. Kara also uses different lexical items to denote feminine and masculine gender, and these lexical items or nouns particularly refer to human entities. Gender and definiteness markers are portmanteau in Kara; in other words, the gender markers mark both gender and definiteness simultaneously. Indefiniteness, contrary, is not morphologically marked. Unlike general nouns, the particular noun forms show the number distinction-. singular and plural. Both animate and inanimate nouns use the suffix -na or -a to mark pluralnumbers; however, the singular number is not morphologically marked. Besides, modifiers agree in number with their head.

Media information operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina - cognitive battlefield and use of digital neurotoxicants

The action of the mass media can be viewed not as a mere factor in transmitting information about reality but, more importantly, as an active component that creates social, political and cultural reality, with the mass media being both part and product of those realities. In this context, media functions appear as very important in the process of constructing social reality, ie as important activities within ideological and historical matrices where images of events from (hyper) reality are created, as well as notions and ideas about a new complex political reality. Based on this, the mass media create messages in which the communication event becomes new real events, ie the mass media participate in modeling narratives in which dominant social values are identified and meaningful discourse is produced. The analysis of information operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their impact on cognitive cognition through misinformation, lies and deception results in new hyper reality and permanently disrupted interethnic, interfaith, and interpersonal relations.

8884 Assessment of Patient-Initiated Communications Following Benign Hysterectomy

<h3>Study Objective</h3> Postoperative care is an essential component of patient outcome and satisfaction. Patients after hysterectomy often contact their physicians for various concerns, but the specific reasons are not known. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reasons and factors associated with patient-initiated communications 30 days after hysterectomy for benign conditions. <h3>Design</h3> A retrospective chart review. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary academic medical center. <h3>Patients or Participants</h3> Patients aged 18 years and older who underwent hysterectomy for benign conditions from January 2014 to December 2018. <h3>Interventions</h3> N/A. <h3>Measurements and Main Results</h3> Of the 325 patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign conditions, 161(49.5%) initiated 299 communication events. The most common reasons for patient phone calls and messages were concerns related to pain (33.5%), surgical incisions (19.3%), activity restrictions (13.0%), and urinary symptoms (13.0%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with a history of mood disorder (OR 2.12, CI 1.19-3.79, p=0.01) and cesarean section (OR 2.064, CI 1.21-3.53, p<0.01) were more likely to contact the office, while Hispanic patients (OR 0.29, CI 0.13-0.62) were less likely to initiate communication. The route of hysterectomy was not associated with any differences in patient contacts. Using same-day discharge as the reference group, patients discharged on postoperative day 1 (OR 0.48, CI 0.28-0.83, p<0.01) and postoperative day 2 or later (OR 2.51, CI 1.07-5.89, p=0.04) were respectively associated with a decreased and increased likelihood of postoperative contacts. <h3>Conclusion</h3> About 1 in 2 patients contacted their physician within 30 days after benign hysterectomy. The most common concern was related to pain, followed by surgical incisions. By evaluating factors associated with patient communications after surgery, the healthcare team can better target patient needs and perioperative education to improve postoperative expectations, care, and satisfaction.

Communicative Orientation of English Language Classes

This study explored on Communicative Orientation of English Language Classes employing the classroom discourse analysis in qualitative research design. The participants of the study are the first year Secondary Education-English students of Bukidnon State University, College of Education. The data gathering was facilitated through the use of Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching observation scheme. The findings revealed that participant organization was mainly student to student in most of the activities with the same assigned task among learners; class management is apparently through discipline, functions, and discourse analysis with limited range of topics that are highly controlled by the teacher; students’ mode of interaction was more on speaking; there is very minimal use of materials for classroom interaction. Further, the participants used L2 than L1; students were noted to have genuine requests and the giving of information were mostly relatively predictable; students’ speeches were to a minimal extent due to the activity type used; the teacher and students showed very limited use of explicit code reaction to errors committed by students; expansion, commenting, and elaboration were found to be prevalent; students were found to have a higher frequency of discourse initiation during classroom interaction; relative restriction of linguistic form was rarely observed; and two other features surfaced which were not predetermined features are on code-switching and the use of fillers. The study revealed that the first-year BSE English students’ speeches are in L2 and to a minimal extent depending on the activity type used by the teacher. Therefore, communicative events such as activity types have direct impact to the use of the different communicative features.

Analisis Statistika dalam Riset-Riset Psikologi Komunikasi: Sebuah Studi Literatur

The increasing number of studies in psychology on communication demanded the use of more relevant statistical analysis techniques that can meet the needs for these studies. Conventional analysis techniques, such as ones that were based on linear model, assume that the observation are independent. Such assumption were often violated in studies on communication. Therefore, it was imperative to develop statistical analysis techniques that could address problems related to data with dependent observation either in communication events. Such efforts could not be separated from literature studies addressing several research questions: (1) What kind of research questions that frequently arose in communication in Psychology?, (2) What statistical analysis techniques that were commonly used to answer the questions in such studies?, (3) What potential statitical analysis techniques that could be used in the studies?, and (4) How were the discrepancies between the needs in communication studies in Psychology with the statistical analysis techniques currently available? The current studies attempted to address those questions by conducting a study of literature review. It was shown that there was still a big space for improvement for studies on communication particularly in Indonesia. Many statistical techniques that were currently available, such as dyadic analysis or social network analysis, have not been employed to address the issues related to dependence of observation or social relations data. Moreover, statistical models or techniques should be developed to measure communication events to reduce the dependence on self-report assessments.

Single-cell mechanistic studies of radiation-mediated bystander effects.

Ionizing radiation (IR) has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases, with radiation therapy (RT) being particularly rapid, but it can induce "bystander effects" that lead to biological responses in non-target cells after their neighboring cells have been irradiated. To help clarify how radiotherapy induces these effects, To help clarify how radiotherapy induces these effects, we analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data from irradiated intestinal tissues on day 1 (T1 state), day 3 (T3 state), day 7 (T7 state), and day 14 (T14 state) after irradiation, as well as from healthy intestinal tissues (T0 state), to reveal the cellular level, molecular level, and involvement of different time irradiated mouse intestinal tissues in biological signaling pathways. In addition, changes in immune cell subpopulations and myeloid cell subpopulations after different radiation times were further explored, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) of these cell subpopulations were constructed. Cellular communication between radiation-specific immune cells was explored by cell-to-cell communication events. The results suggest that radiotherapy trigger changes in immune cell subsets, which then reprogram the immune ecosystem and mediate systemic bystander effects. These radiation-specific immune cells participate in a wide range of cell-to-cell communication events. In particular, radiation-specific CD8+T cells appear to be at the core of communication and appear to persist in the body after recovery from radiotherapy, with enrichment analysis showing that radiation-specific CD8+ T cells are associated with ferroptosis. Thus, radiation-specific CD8+ T cells may be involved in cellular ferroptosis-mediated adverse effects caused by RT.

Who is informed of trauma informed care? Patients' primary language and comprehensiveness of initial trauma assessment.

For patients with limited English proficiency, language poses a unique challenge in patient-provider communication. Using certified medical interpretation (CMI) can be difficult in time- and resource-limited settings including trauma. We hypothesized that there would be limited use of CMI during major trauma resuscitations, less comprehensive assessments, and less empathetic communication for Spanish-speaking patients (SSPs) with limited English proficiency compared with English-speaking patients (ESPs). We analyzed video-recorded encounters of trauma initial assessments at a Level 1 trauma center. Each encounter was evaluated from patient arrival until completion of the secondary survey per Advanced Trauma Life Support protocol. A standard checklist of provider actions was used to assess comprehensiveness of the primary and secondary surveys and communication events such as provider introduction, reassurances, and communicating next steps to patients. We compared the SSP and ESP cohorts for significant differences in completion of checklist items. Fifty patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 14 and 15 were included (25 SSPs, 25 ESPs). The median age was 34 years (interquartile range, 25-65 years) for SSPs and 40 years (interquartile range, 29-54 years) for ESPs. In SSPs, 72% were male; in ESPs, 60% were male. Spanish-speaking patients received less comprehensive motor (48% complete SSPs vs. 96% ESPs, p < 0.001) and sensory (4% complete SSPs vs. 68% ESPs, p < 0.001) examinations, and less often had providers explain next steps (32% SSPs vs. 96% ESPs, p < 0.001) or reassure them (44% SSPs vs. 88% ESPs, p = 0.001). No patients were asked their primary language. Two SSP encounters (8%) used CMI; most (80%) used ad hoc interpretation, and 12% used English. We found significant differences in the initial care provided to trauma patients based on primary language. Inclusion of an interpreter as part of the trauma team may improve the quality of care provided to trauma patients with limited English proficiency. Therapeutic/Care Management; Level IV.

Typology of communication: from traditional lines of differentiation &#x0D; to new correlations

In the article, the traditional typology of communication with the generally acknowledged twelve lines of differentiation is expanded to include several additional correlations that allow all those interested in both communication theory and communication skills to arrive at an increasingly multidimensional view of human interaction with its intrinsic contextual and functional diversity. Authentic samples of material are used to demonstrate the difference between types and subtypes within an increasingly wide range of communicative events and at the same time to account for the need to add several new dichotomies as well as trichotomies that bring language researchers and language users closer to revealing and approximating the layered complexity of the communication process at large.

Multimodal Analysis in Cigarette Advertisements

Abstract Multimodality is a term widely discussed by linguistics and semiotics. It means the combination of different semiotic modes, for example, language and music in a communicative artifact or event (Leeuwen, 2005). In this research, the researcher examines multimodal advertising for cigarette products. The cigarette products named is Djarum 76 and Sampoerna Kretek. This research is intended to 1) how semiotic systems in Djarum 76 and Sampoerna Kretek advertisements express meaning? 2) What is the generic structure placed in both advertisements? 3) What are the differences between semiotic systems in Djarum 76 and Sampoerna Kretek cigarette’s audiovisual advertisements? This research used the descriptive qualitative method. Analysis in this research using the semiotics approach focused on multimodal systems that include linguistic, visual, audio, and gestural aspects. Linguistic analysis using Systemic Functional Linguistic by (Halliday, 2004), visual, audio, and gestural analysis using Anstey and Bull (2010) theories, and Choeng (2004) formulation of generic structure potential for print advertisement. Keywords: Multimodality, advertisement, cigarette product, semiotic systems

KESANTUNAN BERBAHASA SEBAGAI IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER PADA PEMBELAJARAN DI SMP PGRI 2 WATES KABUPATEN BLITAR: KAJIAN SOSIOLINGUISTIK ALIH KODE DAN CAMPUR KODE

Learning in schools is inseparable from code switching and code mixing related to language politeness in schools as the implementation of character education. This study uses qualitative research using recording, note-taking, free-involvement listening, and interview techniques. The research location is at SMP PGRI 2 Wates as Blitar Regency, East Java Province, as a target school in the Teaching Campus 4-year 2022 program. This study's data source is speech or communication events between teachers and students in grades VII, VIII, and IX in SMP PGRI 2 Wates. The results obtained in learning at SMP PGRI 2 Wates code switching and code is mixing in classroom learning using Javanese and Indonesian languages, the use of Javanese language for students' teachers can use Javanese Krama so that there is an influence on language politeness as the implementation of character education and strengthening the profile of Pancasila students. The function of language politeness in uploading the Javanese language to students to the teacher makes the interactions that occur while learning more fun and comfortable. Besides, the intimacy between teachers and students can be established with aspects of code-switching and code-mixing in classroom learning. The influence of linguistic politeness in learning at SMP PGRI 2 Wates cannot be separated from the Javanese culture of the Wates community, which is still attached to Javanese uploads to respect older people or people who are respected in Javanese politeness.
