CEG: A joint model for causal commonsense events enhanced story ending generation.

With the success of pre-trained language models, the performance of story ending generation has been dramatically improved while remaining challenging due to the lack of commonsense reasoning ability. Most previous works mainly focus on using commonsense knowledge to enhance the implicit correlations between words but ignore the hidden causality of sentences or events. In this paper, we propose Causal commonsense Enhanced joint model for story ending Generation (CEG), which incorporates causal commonsense events knowledge to generate a reasonable story ending. Specifically, we first develop a commonsense events inference model trained on GLUCOSE, which converts static knowledge into a dynamic generation model to discover unseen knowledge. It uses prompts to produce various commonsense events behind the stories as pseudo-labels of the dataset. Then, we propose a joint model for the causal events inference task and the story ending generation task to inject inference knowledge into the generation, which consists of a shared encoder, an inference decoder, and a generation decoder. In the causal events inference task, we use the shared encoder and the inference decoder to reason the causal events behind each sentence of the story context to help the model better understand the story and provide long-distance dependencies for the story ending generation. In story ending generation, we combine the hidden states of the causal events with the story context to generate the story ending by the shared encoder and the generation decoder. We jointly train the model on two tasks so that the generation decoder produces the story endings that better match the clues. Experimental results on the ROCStories dataset show that our model outperforms the previous works, demonstrating the effectiveness of the joint model and the generated causal events.

Customizing a consumers’ story for you: The impact of protagonist geographical distance on willingness to share

Consumers' stories, which reveal the interactions between consumers and brands from the perspective of consumers, are increasingly prevalent in advertisements and service communications. Although previous research has explored the impact of consumers' story plots, elements, types, and endings on story effectiveness, the connection between the audience and story protagonist is often of greater concern to consumers. This study examines how the geographical distance between audiences and consumers' story protagonists can prompt audiences to share a consumers' story. A dataset was collected from leading social platforms, and four scenario–based experiments were conducted, which demonstrated that the geographical distance between the protagonist and audience enhanced audience–protagonist similarity and interpersonal identity leading to a more positive willingness to share the story. Additionally, the effect of geographical distance on willingness to share is stronger when the story is based on true events; this effect is attenuated when the story is fictitious. The findings provide a proximal protagonist that advertisers can use in a story to prompt audiences to share consumers’ stories.

Measurement of colorectal polyp size: End of a long-running story?

Although colonoscopy is effective at detecting and removing polyps, which can prevent colorectal cancer (CCR), there is room for improvement. Accurate characterization is necessary to predict histology and to select the most appropriate treatment method; these range from cold-snare polypectomy to surgery through mucosal resection techniques or submucosal dissection. Improvements in CCD captors, optical and numerical zoom functions of colonoscopes, together with virtual chromoendoscopy, can enhance analysis of morphology, pit pattern, and vascular pattern. However, polyp size measurement is problematic, despite it being the basis of all recommendations on polyp resection and monitoring [1] [2] [3].

“It’s Not in the Womb the Damage is Done”: Swastika Night as an (Auto)-Critical Dystopian Tale of Resistance

When Swastika Night was re-published in 1985, Daphne Patai wrote that Katherine Burdekin’s early Hitler-wins dystopian tale leaves room for hope that one finds lacking in the more famed work of George Orwell’s, noting that Burdekin’s analysis of “hypertrophied masculinity” being the fundamental cause of all miseries we find in her text suggests that humanity can escape from dystopian futures eliminating toxic aspects of their culture. While I agree with Patai, I believe that there needs to be more intra-textual evidence of the ‘hope’ that is to be found in Swastika Night, especially as the story ends with its protagonist dying before he can topples his dystopian world. Building on Patai’s work, I focus on the polyphonic voices of resistance resonating throughout the text, voices that suggest a subversive force capable of undermining the seemingly infallible Reich and heralding a more hopeful future wherein the all human beings are equally respected. Hope in Swastika Night can be found in the critical voices and resistant actions of othered beings, the spirit of whom survives in and through the pre-Hitlerian legends, histories, and folksongs of the dehumanized non-Germans without “the Blood,” the very existence of which exposes the undying nature of resistance. Burdekin’s hopeful scenario of the resistant protagonist envisioning and striving to bring about undiscriminating society does not predicate on a British leader nor a return to a British past. This leads me to interpret Swastika Night as an auto-critical dystopian tale that not only cautions against Nazism, but encourages her readers to turn an critical eye towards their own society that also uses “blood,” race, ethnicity, and gender as justifiable causes for violent obstruction of human rights, abroad and at home.

Theatre for Future

The human species has the ability to understand complex systems such as planetary boundaries. But then it does not take action and destroys its existential basis, its global habitat. Whether the story ends here is up to us. A new relationship between science, art, and activism suggests a new paradigm to support a more sustainable existence.

Hybrid and mixed, values of a counter-dogmatic architecture

The survey of social values associated with an unorthodox, liquid, elusive reality, where concepts such as the pure, the clear, and the perfect, have been overcome by the tensions of contemporary life, has led architectural dogma into a frank crisis for at least fifty years. Venturi was one of the first to reflect on this, associating it with a chromatic idea where gray settled on white or black. It was the end of the great stories of modern and already historic architecture. From then, the possibility that otherness, diversity, and difference were installed in the blurred spaces that architectural rationality had left without suture or closure.

PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MENULIS TEKS CERPEN BERORIENTASI KRISIS (KOMPLIKASI) DENGAN MODEL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING

Problems in the ability to write experienced by students are strongly influenced by various factors, including the teacher's factor in choosing a learning model. The selection of learning models is highly dependent on the competencies that students will achieve. For this reason, in learning short story writing, a model must be chosen that can make it easier for students to write with various efforts, including intermediary to continue the story through crisis orientation in the storyline. To do that, this study implements the Problem Based Learning model. This study aims to determine the implementation of the problem-based learning model in learning to continue the end of crisis-oriented short stories. The research method used is a mix method.' This research was carried out in class XI of SMA Handayani 1 Pameungpeuk. The instrument used in this study was an essay test. The instruments are categorized as vaid and reliable after statistical testing (validity and reliability). The calculation of this study is through the average test of the pretest and posttest classes, knowing the max value and minimum value, and testing the hypothesis with a paired t-test sample. The results showed that student activities increased with an average pretest score of 44.90 and an average posttest of 78.10, and the results of the gain hypothesis test were probability values or Signs. (2-tailed) 0.00&lt;0.05. The magnitude of the impact on the improvement of continuing crisis-oriented short stories is shown by the results of hypothesis tests that state differences in data on pretetst and posttest results and show the results of increased learning by looking at the average of each activity. Thus the problem-based learning model can be used as an alternative learning model used to improve the ability to write short stories.

Post-dispersal astrobiological events: modelling macroevolutionary dynamics for lithopanspermia.

Lithopanspermia is defined as dispersal of living extremophiles from one planetary body to another, through life-bearing rocks ejected by meteor impacts. If lithopanspermia proves concrete, it should be viewed as an eco-evolutionary phenomenon. Biogeographic/microevolutionary models have been proposed as analogues for lithopanspermia dynamics; however, extremophile arrival on a planetary body is not the end of story. Here, we suggest that eco-evolutionary (environment + organismal microevolution) dynamics can lead to distinct macroevolutionary scenarios after extremophile arrival on a planetary body. Speciation would be the most important factor in interplanetary dynamics due to the possibly long time and distance between dispersive events, similar to long-distance dispersal dynamics on Earth. In previously uninhabited planets, persistence of extremophiles and descendants depends almost only on evolvability of extremophiles against abiotic filters. Considering a previously inhabited planet, ecological interactions at local or global scales could drive persistence (speciation/extinction) of extremophiles in the new habitat. Thus, we might expect high extinction rates if negative interactions are dominant, or, high speciation, if positive interactions occur, with extremophile lineages overpower (or not) the native biota. If interplanetary dispersal is possible, theories about the evolution of life may be universal, leading to a general eco-evolutionary model for life in the Universe.

Q-tip Options

What is the right way to support the unhoused? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator sees, and has periodic conversations with Abby and Robert, the homeless couple living in a tent by the Walmart. She buys them food, treats them with decency and respect, and generally asks nothing in return. They panhandle for money, needing to earn $80 a day to support their oxycodone habit. They don’t want treatment, they want more money, to be left alone, and to do drugs. Eventually, someone calls the police on them and Robert it taken away by the police. The narrator arrives just in time to vouch for Abby, and keep her from being arrested too. Weeks later, the narrator goes to check on their camp and sees it has been abandoned, with all their belongings left behind. She assumes Abby is dead. The story ends with the narrator befriending Donna, a homeless woman with a mental illness living in her car in the Walmart parking lot.

The Kids Are Not All Right: Why LGBTQIA+ Representation in Literature Matters

Let’s start off with a question. How old were you when you read your first book with a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, or asexual character in it?Now another question—how did that story end? Probably not well, and that’s not uncommon.Throughout much of history, in literature featuring LGBTQIA+ themes, the character, or characters, does not have a good outcome. These books feature common themes, which often revolve around being assaulted, contemplating or completing suicide, being murdered, dying alone—often of an incurable disease—a woven death shroud of dark conclusions for characters who stray from the straight and cisgender.

Take-em!

At what point is a discussion a debate; at what point is it undue pressure? Is all unwanted pressure a kind of manipulation and violence? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator is invited by his father to go duck hunting as part of their bonding time. The narrator wants to spend time with his father, but expresses ethical concerns about hunting ducks. The father asserts hunting is a natural part of human evolution. The debate continues as the narrator decides to go on the hunt, but is undecided if he will pull the trigger. The story ends with father and son in the blind just at the moment before the narrator must decide if he is going to pull the trigger.

Three Blocks

How would we treat others, if they wore our face? In this work of absurdist philosophical fiction, the narrator walks three blocks each day from her car to her work. However, she has a unique situation whereby those in need “wear her face.” This makes it nearly impossible for her to ignore the plight of the homeless man selling flowers to make extra money, the beggar in front of the coffee shop asking for change, or the woman picking up her belongings in the rain. Ajmal, her coworker, doesn’t share her ability to see his face others, and, like most people, ignores the plight of others around him. He calls the narrator a saint, but she argues otherwise. She argues that, given what she sees, she really has no choice but to help. The story ends with the narrator being locked outside overnight, and another person with a similar skill, finds her and gives her a place to stay for the night.

Sienna’s Monster

How is a child, growing up, effected by being part of a cycle of abuse? How do you end the cycle? How do you explain to your abuser the effect their words have on you, when they believe their actions are better than their father before them? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Sienna is living with a “Monster,” in this case, her father. He does not hit her, but he does yell, and rant, and breaks things. Sienna grows up always on edge that the “monster” will lash out at her. Over time, she builds up equally toxic defense mechanisms. She learns to yell back and to be as hate-filled as her father. This all changes when she goes to college and meets her roommate Clara. Clara does not lash out. She does not accuse. She does not go into conversations prepared for battle. She listens, she is empathetic. She does not “keep score” in their friendship. Sienna assumes Clara has an alternative motive, and continues to be skeptical. Eventually, Sienna comes to see Clara for what she is, a decent human being. Armed with her new knowledge, Sienna heads home for Thanksgiving and confronts her father. Her father credits himself with “breaking the cycle” and being a good father by not physically abusing Sierra that way his father was to him. Sienna is frustrated, and resolves to never speak to him again. Over the Christmas holiday, Sienna decides to visit Clara’s family. Sienna’s mother asks if she, and only she, can come visit. Sienna reluctantly agrees. Her mother arrives, father in tow. The story ends with Sienna in jail, having killed her father.

Absurdism in Kafka’s A Hunger Artist

Albert Camus’ philosophy of the Absurd has been used as one of the many interpretative dialogues for Franz Kafka’s literary works, particularly his short story, A Hunger Artist. This paper explored the various facets of absurdism described in The Myth of Sisyphus and connects it with the short story by arguing that A Hunger Artist has more to reveal than its narrative content. Examining the similarities and differences between Camus’ Sisyphus and the protagonist of A Hunger Artist, helps produce absurdist interpretations of the text. The question of finding meaning in an indifferent universe and the predicament of being wedged in an endless loop of a monotonous cycle of life is explored until the very end of the short story. The dilemma of the protagonist, the disillusionment with society fused with the complicated reality of the human condition are all elements present in A Hunger Artist that help identify existentialism through fiction. When seen through the absurdist perspective, the hunger artist stands as a figure, depicting the disunity between man and the universe, and the internal and external conflict between the rational and irrational in an unresponsive universe. Analysing this fiction through the philosophy of absurdism generates significant standpoints that bring forth the author’s individual reasoning as a consolation to the questioning, existentialist mind.
