In this article, the concept of realism in literature is primarily used in relation to the literary direction, type of literature, method, genre, style and flow, and it is said that it is a rich concept in essence. The term “realism” in literature is recognized as a period of fundamental changes in various folk literary studies. The features defining the uniqueness of this period are considered.

Trinitarian Advantages for Divine Action in the Natural World

ABSTRACT This paper considers the resources of Trinitarian theology for conceiving of the relationship between divine action and the natural world. We begin with the core commitments of Trinitarian theology alongside common desiderata for divine action, namely a conception of reality that grants sufficient independence to creation to allow meaningful interaction with and from the Creator. I then examine this claim in the light of contrasting non-Trinitarian theistic approaches and argue that Trinitarian theology uniquely grounds a particular kind of motivated divine action that undergirds the value of volitional and nomic independence within a framework of mutuality in relationship.

Unravelling Virtual Realities—Gamers’ Perceptions of the Metaverse

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the Metaverse emerges as a transformative force, integrating augmented reality, virtual reality, and the internet, to redefine online interactions. This collective virtual shared space promises to revolutionise global collaboration, communication, and information engagement. Our study consisted of the application, through an online form builder, of a questionnaire to Portuguese adult gamers, analysing the results with descriptive statistics. Our research question was the following: how is the Metaverse perceived and represented by gamers? In this context, we trace four objectives: (1) verify the representations of the Metaverse; (2) verify the representations of immersion; (3) verify the representations of the multiverse; and (4) verify the importance of these concepts in daily reality. Our findings explored the Metaverse, immersion, and multiverse concepts, uncovering gamers’ perceptions with emphasis on animation, gaming, and virtual worlds as foundational elements. The Metaverse arises as an evolving force that bridges emotional experiences, offering limitless possibilities for experimentation and exploration.

Development and Usability Evaluation of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces

The concept of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces where a user can seamlessly transition across the Reality-Virtuality-Continuum dates back to the introduction of the Magic Book in 2001 but recently gained new research momentum since head-mounted displays advanced by combining the former distinctive concepts of augmented reality and virtual reality into a single device. New technological capabilities require new ways of developing applications to satisfy user requirements. Especially in the context of operating in multiple realities, developing AR/VR applications is not a trivial task. In this context, the development of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces remains a complex engineering problem that requires specific methods, concepts, and tools. To address this problem and provide a systematic development approach, we propose a conceptual framework for both developing and evaluating Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces. To evaluate our solution, we implemented a Transitional Cross-Reality Interface based on our framework and evaluated it with both the measurements provided by the framework and additional questionnaires. We found high usability and interesting transitional behavior of users indicating the usefulness of the proposed framework as an underlying software architecture for Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces.

Come cambia il lavoro organizzato nell’epoca della digitalizzazione. Una lettura eliasiana

This paper contributes to the debate on the relationship between managerial control and organizational autonomy of employees, by highlighting the general directions in which this relationship has developed over time since the post-Fordist turn of half a century ago. These changes are accelerated and made more evident by the processes that go by the names of automation (1980s-1990s), informatization (mid-1990s-early 2000s), and digitization/Fourth Industrial Revolution. To this end, primary research data will not be analyzed here; instead, a rather diverse literature will be reviewed, both theoretical and empirical, addressing key themes for interpreting the changing situations of organized labor. The interpretative framework is primarily constituted by some conceptual categories borrowed from Norbert Elias’ processual sociology, summarized in the following points: a) the processual conception of social reality; b) power relations; c) the process of civilization; d) the relationship between I-identity and We-identity in contemporary society. Digitalization in organized work accentuates a most general trend, already clearly observable in the past but especially from the post-Fordist turn, towards forms of managerial control based more on employees self-control and assessment of outcomes than direct supervision of the work processes.

Philosophical crossroads: exploring the convergences and tensions between scientific materialism and Monistic thought of Eastern philosophies

Scientific materialism and Eastern monistic ideologies have a complicated relationship, as this study shows. While typically seen as incompatible, these worldviews share surprising similarities and moments of convergence. Both views are used to examine consciousness, reality, and mind-matter connections. Based on seminal works in scientific materialism, quantum physics, and Eastern philosophical traditions like Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, this study examines how recent advances in quantum mechanics and neuroscience have led some researchers to reconsider materialist paradigms, potentially bridging gaps with non-dualistic Eastern concepts. Our research shows that while ontological gaps remain, both theories seek to grasp ultimate reality and human experience. We believe that a sophisticated interaction between these traditions can deepen scientific and philosophical discourse and lead to more complete conceptions of consciousness and reality. The paper finishes by proposing a paradigm for future interdisciplinary research that could combine Western scientific materialism and Eastern monistic thinking to better comprehend existence and consciousness.

How to be a perspectival pluralist

AbstractThe temporal, first‐personal, and modal domains in metaphysics involve a range of perspectives on reality: the perspective of the present as opposed to those of other times, the perspective of one's own self as opposed to those of other subjects, and the perspective of the actual world as opposed to those of other possible worlds. In each case, we can ask about the metaphysical standing of these various perspectives with respect to one another: Is one perspective privileged above the rest? There is a tension at the heart of our intuitive conception of the phenomena in these domains, motivating (at least in some of these cases) a pluralist conception of reality — a stance which attempts to take seriously the absoluteness of the present‐tensed, first‐personal, or actual‐worldly facts, while also embracing the equal standing in reality of all perspectives of the relevant kind. My purpose in this paper is, first, to present an overview of recently popular forms of pluralism — or, what Fine (2005) calls non‐standard realism — with a particular focus on fragmentalism. I'll then raise a worry for fragmentalist views, and finally, present an alternative form of pluralism about the perspectival. We'll see that, while in some ways more radical, the alternative form of pluralism I present has some conceptual advantages over more familiar non‐standard realist views, and — more generally — can help illuminate the space of possible pluralist views about the perspectival.

The material-discursive phenomena of queer-bodies, clothing and schooling

ABSTRACT This article draws on feminist new materialist theory to examine the relations in-between queer-bodies, clothing and the schooling environment. Working with Karen Barad’s agential realist concepts of intra-action and entanglement, queer-bodies and clothing are conceptualized as material-discursive phenomena, co-constitutive and emergent through their entangled relations. Through this approach, school uniforms, spatial environments, practices such as the school ball (prom), peers, parents, climate, and bodily sensations become integral forces in the mattering of queer-bodies and clothing. Notions of sartorial ‘choice’, agency and intelligibility are reconfigured in ways that exceed a pre-existing individual body and identity. I consider how a relational approach attends to the shifting complexities of queer-bodies and clothing in ways that avoid binary frameworks such as materiality/discourse, subject/object, dress/suit, and in turn, expands the possibilities for doing justice to the diversity of queer-bodies.

The Influence of The Reality Show 'Indonesia’s Next Top Model' on Beauty Perception Among Instagram Followers

Reality shows serve as entertainment platforms for society, conveying implicit messages and portrayals that influence how audiences perceive and follow what is presented. Audiences utilize Instagram and YouTube as mediums to engage with the frequency, attention, duration, and appreciation of the reality show "Indonesia’s Next Top Model." Instagram, in particular, serves as an interactive tool through which viewers express comments and appreciation for the show. This study aims to investigate whether there is an influence of reality show content on the perception of female beauty, focusing on the viewers of "Indonesia’s Next Top Model" among the followers of Instagram account @intm_nettv. The research employs a quantitative method with an explanatory research design. The unit of analysis comprises individuals who are followers of the Instagram account @intm_nettv. Data collection is conducted using probability sampling, obtaining a sample of 100 respondents who watch "Indonesia’s Next Top Model." The findings reveal a small influence of 8.2% of the reality show on the perception of female beauty among the followers of Instagram account @intm_nettv. This minimal impact is attributed to the followers' ability to distinguish between the beauty of models and that of other women. Various factors can affect the perception of female beauty, particularly reality show content as entertainment for its audience. Therefore, future research is encouraged to further explore the concept of reality show content and its influence on the perception of female beauty.

Design Development of Arabic-Roman Transliteration Module with Virtual Reality Concept (eTARRiM) to Improve Primary School Students' Arabic Reading Skills: Needs Analysis

This study discusses the development of the Arabic-Roman Transliteration Module with Virtual Reality Concept (eTARRiM) as an innovation in improving Arabic reading skills among primary school students. Needs analysis was conducted to solve the main issues in learning Arabic and develop a module that can overcome these challenges. A comprehensive literature review on Arabic language learning approaches, the concept of Arabic-Roman ttransliteration, and the application of virtual reality technology may form the basis of the development of this module. With the importance of reading skills, this study gives special emphasis to Malay-speaking students who face challenges in understanding the structure of Arabic writing. eTARRiM module is designed to meet the needs of students by integrating Arabic-Roman transliteration as a bridge to recognize Arabic characters. Virtual reality technology is used to create an engaging and interactive learning environment. A needs analysis was conducted based on the needs of the concept of transliteration, the use of technology, and how this module supports the needs of students in primary school. By understanding the critical issues in learning Arabic, this study offers a holistic view of relevant and effective development this module. The results of the study are expected to contribute to the development of a more dynamic Arabic language learning resources, especially at primary school level. Practical implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed to improve the quality of teaching and learning Arabic among primary school students.

Digital Surrealism: Video Game Space

The concept of virtual reality (VR), perceived as a copy of physical reality, restricts both the creators and users of the space, leaving no room for potential surreal experiences. The main motivation for conducting the research on virtual surreal space is to open up creative/productive spatial possibilities for discussion from a thought perspective that goes beyond this definition. Although there are various approaches to digital space in the literature, these studies mostly rely on computational methods. In contrast, this study aims to explore space from the perspective of "digital surrealism" which is ignored in spatial studies, through the computer-based gaming experience. Scholars writing about architecture and surrealism have argued that, unlike other forms of fine art, architecture was never an integral part of surrealism. Against this perspective of the digital game experience, the study aims to question whether it is possible to interpret the space with a surreal perspective and to investigate whether the space can approach surrealist thought with the digital game experience fed by computational methods that support the concepts of 'autonomy' and 'ubiquity'. The main goal of the study is to explore the relations between surrealism and architecture and the spatial potential of these relations through the experiences of the players. The surrealist spatial potential of digital space experience is explored in Superliminal (2019), a puzzle game that transforms the experience into allegories of dreams, free-thinking and multiple opportunities. Data analysis performed on the STEAM platform and the First Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), in which surrealism came into existence as a movement, were analyzed with Python software. The experimental group's thoughts and comments expressed on the STEAM platform were analyzed. Preliminary results of the study are presented with the "regression tree" method. Using the Python programming language, analyses are prosuded to discuss game spaces from a lens of surrealism perspective.

The Nature of Television and Radio Programs and Their Influence in the Growth of Kiswahili among University Students in Kenya

Purpose: This paper traces the place of the nature of programmes in Kenyan media and their influence on Kiswahili growth among university students studying journalism in Kenyan universities. Three fundamental concerns were on focus here; Length of programs; language in programs and the type of Programs.
 Methodology: The study used mixed method design to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. It targeted University students sampled from 4 public Universities in Nairobi County. A sample size of 327 students was used. Focus group discussions involving 32 participants were also involved. Four Swahili experts were interviewed to get expert opinion. Multi-stage sampling design was used to select the sample for the survey. This sampling technique was appropriate because the study sample was selected in stages using stratified random sampling and simple random sampling technique. Purposive sampling was used to collect qualitative data. The tools used to collect data were questionnaire for quantitative data, interview schedule for key informants and interview guide for focus group discussions. These were to help to assess the influence of the nature of programmes in media organizations on the growth of Kiswahili among university students in Kenya. The study triangulated quantitative and qualitative data to give results shared in this paper. Data was then analyzed using SPSS (version 20) statistical program. Inferential statistics used were descriptive, correlation regression and ANOVA. Data was presented using tables.
 Findings: Findings show that nature of programmes has a significant effect on the growth of Kiswahili.For instance, majority of the respondents agreed that the length of Swahili programs in media have made them develop positive attitude toward Kiswahili. Additionally, they agreed that the nature of language used in presenting Swahili programmes makes them use correct grammar. The study also noted that the respondents agreed that the types of programs have significant influence on their Swahili vocabulary.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social Learning Theory posits that learning takes place in a social context through observation or direct instruction. People learn the tenets of language through these various types of programmes which carry instructions and are observable. For the Behaviorist Theory of Language Development focus is on objectively observable behaviors where learning is acquired based on environmental conditions (McLeod, 2016). Language acquisition, use and growth has been as a result of emulating what is going on around the learner. The Cultivation theory that suggests television is responsible for shaping or cultivating viewer conceptions of social reality has it that TV viewing affects the language development of children through role modeling where children always want to behave like the characters they see and end up developing language aspects such as pronunciation, intonations and vocabulary like those of the TV and Radio presenter believing that that is the way the world is.For practice and policy media literacy to practitioners has been found to be a necessary educational tool for them to understand the type of media content to interact with if they have to grow their language capabilities. There is need to increase knowledge of risks involved in use of hybrid Kiswahili. While this is so language policy should encompass organizing workshops and seminars for the youth to sensitize them on proper language.

Evaluating the quality of posthuman music education research: diffracting quality criteria through response-ability

ABSTRACT Although encompassing a variety of research approaches, qualitative research in music education shares the assumption that reality is socially constructed; it takes this construction to be based on the specific perspective of the individual human; and it considers epistemology and ontology to be different fields of study. The posthuman theory of agential realism, on the other hand, argues that the world is becoming through intra-actions; it decentres the individual humanist subject; and it studies onto-epistemology – practices of knowing-in-being. Considering these fundamental differences, the quality criteria of qualitative research are not applicable to posthuman music education research. Nevertheless, posthuman research is concerned with the ethics of research and how to response-ably and ethically take part in the world’s becoming. Thus, the emerging field of posthuman music education research must develop other ways of evaluating research beyond the quality criteria found in qualitative methodologies. This paper argues that diffraction – both as a physical and musical phenomenon and as a philosophical concept – might be a fruitful approach. By reading quality criteria diffractively through the agential realist concept of response-ability, it poses critical and creative questions, moving us towards evaluating the quality of posthuman music education research on its own terms.

Petani Tembakau dalam Genduk sebagai Realitas Sosial: Tinjauan Sosiologi Sastra

Genduk which was published in mid-2016 is a literary work that presents the life story of the tobacco farming community on the slopes of Mount Sindoro. The presence of tobacco farmers in Genduk implies a reality of social phenomena that occur in society, especially on the slopes of Mount Sindoro, Temanggung, Central Java. For this reason, this study was structured with the aim of analyzing the existence of tobacco farmers in Genduk as a social reality through a sociological review of literature. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method that focuses on the sociology of literature approach through Wellek and Warren's sociology combined with the concept of social reality. The results of the study show that the tobacco farmers in Genduk are not mere works of fiction, but instead Genduk is the bearer of the "message" conveyed by the author about the life story of tobacco farmers on the slopes of Mount Sindoro. The social reality conveyed by the author is known to refer to objective reality, as a result of the author's thought on the experience he has gone through as a native of Temanggung, Central Java, who also has a life story on the slopes of Mount Sindoro. Therefore it can be concluded that the tobacco farmers in Genduk are a social reality resulting from the thought of reality combined with social phenomena, which refers to the essence of humanity.

Gaskell Studies: Realism, Radicalism, and the Neoliberal Lens in Recent Scholarship on Elizabeth Gaskell

ABSTRACT Literary critics have long prized the works of Elizabeth Gaskell for their unflinching realism. They have found in her novels, in particular, artifacts of her era’s greatest injustices and the progressive spirit that animated resistance to them. In the last ten years, Gaskell scholarship has taken a different tack. Exploring her more formally radical narrative forms, including lesser-studied novellas like Lois the Witch and other Gothic tales, recent criticism has begun wrestling directly and indirectly with the concept of realism itself. Some scholars go so far as to suggest that realism as a literary critical rubric may be inadequate to the task of understanding and interpreting Gaskell’s most experimental and subversive works. This article furthermore argues that when we read for realism in Gaskell’s works, we run the risk of reading through a neoliberal lens that obscures key dimensions of her work and the social and political radicalism they espouse.

Towards industry 5.0 through metaverse

The digital transformation of the industry allows the optimization of resources through enabling technology that virtualizes the behavior of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) along the entire value chain. However, these virtual environments characterized by machine-to-machine interactions lacked the presence of humans who are at the center of the next defined industrial revolution, Industry 5.0. The goal is for humans to be actively integrated into these virtual environments called metaverses where interactions with environmental digital assets are possible. To achieve this human-centered industrial metaverse perspective, it is necessary to provide humans with technologies that allow them to reach a more immersive and realistic conception of the production processes. For this purpose, we present in this paper, a framework based on hyperconnectivity where several enabling technologies (e.g., Digital Twins, Virtual Reality, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)) are integrated in order to converge towards the industrial human-centered metaverse. To validate our framework, a demonstrator has been developed enabling the evaluation of the behavior of humans in virtual environments when facing collaborative tasks that require human-to-human interaction. Within the evaluation of this demonstrator, an experiment based on an assembly that requires interaction with an autonomous vehicle has been carried out both in reality and in the virtual world. The results obtained indicate that the avatars’ metaverse performance is closer to reality when individuals have previous experience with VR goggles, even proving, in this case, the effectiveness of metaverse for industrial operators’ training. In addition, the performance of the application has been evaluated with technical parameters and the perception of the users has been analyzed by conducting a survey receiving very positive feedback and results. Therefore, the industrial metaverse, blending cutting-edge tech with a human-centric approach for Industry 5.0, is now a reality.

“It was a work of art, and it was just real life”: Watching <i>The Rehearsal</i>

Few television programs both meditate on and rupture the concepts of reality and representation as much as The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder’s genre-bending docu-comedy that aired on HBO in the summer of 2022. On the surface, the series purports to offer an odd variant of self-help reality TV: Nathan finds people looking to tackle challenging experiences, and stages a “rehearsal” for them to work through the situation in a low-stakes simulation before tackling it in real life. But as it plays out, the series is a deeply troubling work of media, dramatizing its own ethical failings in a way that invites us to experience both admiration and outrage at its manipulations. This video rehearses these ideas through an experimental format.

Having a Laugh and Negotiating the Situation: The Significance of Humor During Fieldwork Among International Teenagers

This article elaborates on the significance of humor and playful interactions in an ethnographic research project among 14- and 15-year-old teenagers in an international middle school in Finland. First, it discusses the role of humor among students and their teachers in the school. Second, the article elaborates on the role humor played when an adult ethnographer was negotiating her role and actions with these teenagers; humor and playful interactions provided useful tools with which to negotiate the researcher’s role and made the project a fun and enjoyable experience for the researcher and participants alike. The article employs the concept of reality play when analyzing everyday interactions in a school context, and it argues both that the use of humor can contribute to forming meaningful and ethically sound relationships between researcher and participants and that elaborations on research and ethics should pay more attention to the significance of humor and playfulness as essential parts of human life.
