Heuristic and Hermeneutic Reading of 75 Kufic Towards Ramadan FOKS Indonesia: a Study in Riffaterre’s Semiotics

In the current era of digital development, Muslim societies have unique and impactful ways of welcoming Ramadan; for instance, "75 Kufic Towards Ramadan" was initiated by the Friends of Kufic Square Indonesia (FOKS Indonesia) community. This welcome enhances the daily posting of Kufic works on social media for 75 days leading up to Ramadan. However, sometimes ordinary people find reading and understanding posts difficult, even though they contain meaning. Therefore, based on this issue, this research aims to describe the heuristic and hermeneutic reading of the collection of calligraphic works, “75 Kufic Towards Ramadan”. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, employing content analysis techniques, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, focusing on Kufic texts shared in the "75 Kufic Towards Ramadan" series on FOKS Indonesia's official Instagram account (@foksindonesia). Subsequently, this data was analyzed using the heuristic and hermeneutic analysis techniques in Michael Riffaterre's semiotics. This study's findings are presented as an explanation of the heuristic and hermeneutic reading of the “75 Kufic Towards Ramadan” Kufic texts. Among these Kufic texts created by Kufiers are pieces of verse from the Quran, Hadith, and Mahfudzat in Arabic. These Kufic texts essentially represented deep feelings of joy for the Muslim community in welcoming Ramadan, which is full of glory and forgiveness. Consequently, people could receive positive messages and impressions when welcoming the month of Ramadan.

Who hates your brand? An analysis of consumer brand hater typology

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a typology of brand haters, depending on their coping processes to the different stressful consumption situations, and associate these hate profiles with their corresponding psychological traits.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses a mixed methodology composed of two phases, a qualitative and a quantitative one, conducted simultaneously. The aim of the qualitative study is to define clusters of the antecedents and consequences of brand hate and better understand the coping responses of brand haters. This phase uses the OMIE (Multi-Image Elicitation) tool. During the quantitative phase, a series of multiple correspondence analyses (MCAs) allows characterizing and mapping each segment of brand haters according to their personality traits and the coping processes identified during the qualitative phase.FindingsDepending on their motives and the consequences of their brand hate, we identified three distinct types of brand haters. First, rational haters are particularly sensitive to the brand’s deceptive nature, leading to deep feelings of disappointment and efforts to avoid the brand. Next, hostile haters express an active form of hate driven by unauthentic brand practices or ideological reasons (e.g. exploitation of children), often with a focus on revenge. Lastly, threatened haters experience both passive and active forms of brand hate, stemming from perceived physical and mental threats that extend beyond individual complaints to broader societal issues. In terms of psychological profiles, our findings suggest that rational haters may exhibit extraverted and sophisticated personalities. Hostile haters, on the other hand, are associated with conscientious personality traits. Finally, threatened haters are characterized as agreeable and creative.Originality/valueThe paper uses a unique approach to map hater profiles with their coping responses and psychological traits. Additionally, the mixed methodology employed in this research contributes to its originality.

Analysis of politeness strategies in kῖmwῖmbῖ (E531) condolence messages

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the politeness strategies used by condolers in expressing condolence in Kῖmwῖmbῖ. Death is a natural part of human life. Regardless of its cause, it is usually very painful and therefore, losing a loved one causes deep feelings of loss and sorrow not only to the family of the deceased but also to friends and relatives. The main purpose of expressing condolence is to convey sympathy or compassion to the bereaved. Yule (2017) argues that in linguistic politeness, face is the most important concept and claims that a person’s face in pragmatics is their public self-image. In expressing condolence, condolers threaten the face of the bereaved but also employ politeness strategies to formulate messages in order to save the bereaved’s face. The study adopted the qualitative and quantitative research approaches and used Brown and Levinson (1978) Politeness Theory. Politeness theory focuses on ‘saving face’ which is a key aspect in politeness. The study was conducted in Chogoria Division, Maara Subcounty, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. Purposive sampling was used to sample twenty condolence messages for analysis. A guiding card was used to categorize the condolence utterances with politeness strategies. The data was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively providing explanation of these politeness strategies and giving their frequencies and percentages in tables. It was established that the four politeness strategies proposed in the politeness theory are used in expressing condolence in Kῖmwῖmbῖ, with positive politeness strategy being the most used. The findings add to the existing knowledge in pragmatics, especially on politeness and burial discourse. Similarly, the study provides data which can be used to compare with other languages hence aiding in generalizing conclusions of condolence speech act.

Afektinės būsenos savižudybės procese: patirtys ir formavimosi prielaidos

The emergence of affective states during the process of suicide is regarded as a serious indicator of suicide risk. This study aims to describe the experience of affective states characteristic of the suicide process and to raise assumptions about how these affective states develop over a person’s lifetime. A qualitative approach was employed in this study, with the objective of retrospectively exploring individuals’ life experiences through in-depth semistructured interviews. The research sample comprises 12 participants (4 men, 1 person with a nonbinary gender identity, and 7 women) who had attempted suicide no more than one year prior to the study and were receiving treatment at the Vilnius City Mental Health Centre at the time of data collection. Data were analysed using phenomenological interpretive analysis to identify recurring experiential patterns. The analysis revealed nine main experiential themes: some life difficulties experienced during the suicide process were not perceived as related to suicidality; repeated traumatic events provided a foundation for the formation of deep feelings of deficiency; a compensatory mechanism emerged to fill these feelings of deficiency; exhaustion developed from the effort to maintain this compensatory mechanism; the main trigger directly challenged the compensatory mechanism; an affective state followed the experience of the primary trigger; during the affective state, dissociation may help isolate psychological pain; suicidal thoughts during the affective state are experienced as arising automatically; and suicide is perceived as a means to end suffering. The findings of the study indicate that individuals’ narratives reveal a pattern of the formation of affective states characteristic of the suicide process. Through reflection, individuals are able to intuitively distinguish significant, distressing life events from those irrelevant to the suicide process and reconsider their experiences. This ability is a valuable resource for both intervention and postvention efforts.

The aim of this research is to analyze the stylistic elements and imagery in the poems of Li Bai and Sudi Yatmana using Northrop Frye's theory, and to understand how these elements convey meaning and nuance in their works. The research employs a stylistic approach with a descriptive-qualitative design. Data were collected from offline sources (books, notes, archives) and online sources (digital), categorized into primary data (poems by Li Bai) and secondary data (books by Sudi Yatmana). The findings indicate that Li Bai's poems, such as 静夜思 Jìngyè sī, 月下独酌 Yuè xià dúzhuó, and 早发帝城 Zǎo fā bái dì chéng, use poetic language rich in personification and metaphor to depict deep feelings towards nature and philosophical contemplation. In contrast, Sudi Yatmana's poems, such as Paman Tani Jawa Purwa, Nandur Pari Jero, and Panen, are more realistic, portraying the everyday lives of farmers with vivid details and a profound appreciation for the human-nature relationship. This analysis demonstrates that Li Bai's works exude romanticism and introspection, while Yatmana's poems highlight the cultural richness and agricultural life of rural Java.

遯溪 許厚의 삶과 詩

Dongye Heo Hu is still unknown to the academic world. It can only be confirmed that he made Wonju his main living space, was a scholar of the Namin(南人) in the mid-Joseon Dynasty who was very bright in Ritual theory and thought of himself as a person of good ancestry and bureaucrat responsible for the king and the state. These limitations have the same effect on Heo Hu's grasp of literary competence. Currently, there are only 26 poems that can examine Heo Hu's literary competence.

That's why Heo Hu's poems convey a deep lingering feeling without any special skills. In order to approach Heo Hu, which shows such literary achievements, it is necessary to find more Heo Hu's works and at the same time to approach the entire Heo Hu's works in greater depth, and review Heo Hu's and Heo Hu's works in various networks.

Grief and Loss: Supporting Foster Carer Families Through Placement Terminations

ABSTRACT The importance of acknowledging the grief and loss integral to the experiences of foster carers, has long been understood. However, in a complex area of practice and an increasingly pressured out-of-home care sector, there is a need to refocus foster care program and practitioner attention on supporting carers and their families with the difficult experience of placements ending.

Carers called for acknowledgement of the deep feelings they develop for the children they look after and help for the grieving process, through training, preparation, and tailored support based on authentic relationships with professionals. The need for well-trained and strongly supported agency workers was emphasised. IMPLICATIONS Providing updates to carers about foster children who have left their care can alleviate the pain of grief and loss. Training, preparation, and step-by-step support for carers can promote healthy grieving processes. Tailored support for grieving carers needs to be founded on authentic relationships with foster care professionals and open and honest communication.

The Logic of Common Prosperity in China

The notion of common prosperity in China is deeply rooted in its historical and cultural traditions and supported by a unique social system logic. As a social ideal, it reflects the enduring intellectual aspirations of the Chinese nation. Deep feelings for the family and country and universal kinship shape the Chinese spiritual worldview, emphasizing a strong sense of community and interconnectedness. As a fundamental principle, it ensures that the essence of the socialist system, defined by labor, is firmly implemented and practically realized in the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics. As a practical endeavor, it harmonizes with historical trends and proactive development, integrating the advanced nature of the political party with scientific policy strategies, thereby clarifying the roadmap for common prosperity. As a Chinese approach, it creates a genuine community amidst diversity and differentiation, fostering a scientific understanding of prosperity in the course of development and progress, and offering a national model for building new forms of human advancement during modernization. China’s historical efforts in promoting common prosperity not only expand the contemporary understanding of “common” in a philosophical sense but also elevate the notion of “prosperity” to new heights in a civilizational context.

Protecting stable biological nomenclatural systems enables universal communication: A collective international appeal.

The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals come from very deep feelings, but we show how they can irreparably damage the foundation of biological communication and, in turn, the sciences that depend on it. There are four essential consequences of objective codes of nomenclature: universality, stability, neutrality, and transculturality. These codes provide fair and impartial guides to the principles governing biological nomenclature and allow unambiguous universal communication in biology. Accordingly, no subjective proposals should be allowed to undermine them.

Introduction Pseudologia Fantastica (PF) also called “mythomania” is a disorder centred on the tendency of the sufferer to distort reality through constant lies. These patients find it difficult to moderate their sense of self and their self-esteem. Therefore, they display significant grandiosity, which seems to defend them from intense psychological disturbance, pretending to counteract deep feelings of unworthiness, emptiness and alienation.Notable characteristics include: normal or above average IQ, absence of formal thought disorder, poor sense of identity, poor sexual adjustment, low frustration tolerance, strong dependency needs and narcissism. The phenomenon of “imposture” (the person’s claim of achievement or having connections to famous or influential people) is frequent. The patient’s history often shows that one or both parents were experienced as rejecting figures. They are more likely to be involved in legal problems and 20% receive some form of psychiatric treatment.The aetiology and pathogenesis of this disorder requires consideration of developmental disturbances, personal history and current life stressors.ObjectivesA case of a patient with PF is presented followed by a theoretical review on the topic.MethodsA case is presented with a bibliographic review.Results We admitted a 47-year-old man to the Acute Hospitalisation Unit for a suspected “psychotic episode with clinical mania”.

Carmen Sylva: observations on a selection of her works in Romanian language (prose and poetry)

The linguistic and translation approaches to fragments of the work of an author such as Carmen Sylva illustrate her influence in a specific spatio-temporal context as well as the place that her creation occupies in a particular field of specialty literature. This dimension gives the opportunity to point out certain aspects of Carmen Sylva's personality which are likely to have an impact on the language used in the fragments submitted for analysis. In a world where the diversity of languages asserts itself as an integral part of intangible heritage within the meaning of UNESCO, the plurilingualism of speakers in a given community is also indicative of multiculturalism, but also of the maintenance of the funds specific to each of it to which its members are likely to connect in order to express their deepest feelings.
