Performing Aeschylus’s Persians

Abstract: The antistrophic pairs of the choral odes of Aeschylus’s Persians are frequently marked by close verbal and thematic parallels in a symmetrical fashion. This “strophic bonding” permits more precise speculation about the possible performative relation between strophic pairs in the choral odes of a play that culminates in the explicit display of parallel lamenting gestures in the concluding strophic pairs of the exodos. The repeated themes, sounds, gestures, images, and phrases in the play’s strophic pairs serve as well to define and perform the changing relation between Persian royal leaders and their choral subjects in the play as a whole.

How do high-tech industry remote team employees learn to manage their emotions?

ABSTRACT High-tech employees, need to manage their emotions on a daily basis, given their interactions with culturally different colleagues; nonetheless, they are not given much direction about such issues. Based on interviews with 75 Israeli workers employed by 25 high-tech companies, this study explains the display rules in high-tech organizations and the ways employees learn to manage their emotions. The results indicate that high-tech, global team employees engage regularly in emotional labor with co-workers while experiencing tremendous difficulties. Concurrently, their organizations do not communicate clear and detailed display rules such that the employees tend to learn about emotional labor, either independently via observation of others or via hard-earned experience. In addition to the emotional-rational dichotomy that has been discussed previously, we have identified individualism and personal responsibility as key premises explaining minimal or the absence of explicit display rules, and the ways that individuals learn emotional labor.

Repair Practice in the Classroom Conversations of Indonesian EFL Students

This study examines repair practice by English as a Foreign Language ( EFL) college students to address the understanding problems that may cause communication breakdowns in classroom conversations. Conversational data were elicited from 40 second-semester students performing jigsaw and information gap communicative tasks. Using the conversation analysis theory and methodological approach, the recorded and transcribed conversations were analyzed to scrutinize the frequency and types of repair strategies, trouble sources, and repair outcomes. The findings show that to address the understanding problem, the EFL college students employed 11 other-initiated repair strategies: Open-class or unspecified strategies; WH-interrogatives; Partial repeat plus WH- interrogatives; Repetition or partial repetition; Candidate understanding; Correction; Request for repetition; Non-verbal; Asking for definition, explanation, translation, example, or spelling; Explicit display of non-understanding; and Request to speak up. These other-initiated repair strategies were triggered by the presence of lexical, semantic content-related, and sequential/speech delivery trouble sources. Attempts to resolve the understanding problem were conducted by a set of repair outcomes, including Repetition, Acknowledgment, Repetition or acknowledgment plus expansion, explanation, and/or translation, and Repetition or acknowledgment plus translation. The study provides language educators with new insights on how EFL learners deal with understanding problems in communication so that they could respond appropriately to the repair practice initiated by the students.

Shaping Pedestrians’ Trust in Autonomous Vehicles: An Effect of Communication Style, Speed Information, and Adaptive Strategy

AbstractCompared with conventional vehicles, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are featured by increased energy efficiency and road safety, yet hardly meet with much success without enough human trust. Designing appropriate interactions between AV and human, such as communication with pedestrians, could help enhance trust and public acceptance. In this work, we examine design characteristics of AV interface, including communication style, explicit display of vehicle speed, and adaptive strategy, and study their effects on pedestrians’ trust behaviors. It is found that any communication style could improve pedestrians’ trust in AV and decision alignment with AV expectations. Among the three communication styles, commanding and advisory are significantly better than informative, in terms of trust improvement (commanding versus informative: t = 3.61 and p < 0.001; advisory versus informative: t = 2.78, p = 0.005) and decision alignment ((a) in expected cross scenarios, commanding versus informative: t = 0.35 and p < 0.001; advisory versus informative: t = 11.71, p < 0.001; (b) in expected not cross scenarios, commanding versus informative: t = −7.61, p < 0.001; advisory versus informative: t = −6.40, p < 0.001). Adding speed information on top of explicit message communication does not change the relative effectiveness of individual styles, even though the display of speed-only information has significantly improved both measures (trust: F = 9.39 and p = 0.002; decision: F = 6.04 and p = 0.015). In addition, applying an adaptive communication strategy when yielding would significantly improve pedestrians’ trust (t = 9.33 and p < 0.001) and decision alignment (t = 14.78 and p < 0.001). This study demonstrates the influence of design characteristics on the formation of trust relationships between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles and paves the ways for developing more advanced AV communication mechanisms.

Current RNA-seq methodology reporting limits reproducibility.

Ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) identifies and quantifies RNA molecules from a biological sample. Transformation from raw sequencing data to meaningful gene or isoform counts requires an in silico bioinformatics pipeline. Such pipelines are modular in nature, built using selected software and biological references. Software is usually chosen and parameterized according to the sequencing protocol and biological question. However, while biological and technical noise is alleviated through replicates, biases due to the pipeline and choice of biological references are often overlooked. Here, we show that the current standard practice prevents reproducibility in RNA-seq studies by failing to specify required methodological information. Peer-reviewed articles are intended to apply currently accepted scientific and methodological standards. Inasmuch as the bias-less and optimal RNA-seq pipeline is not perfectly defined, methodological information holds a meaningful role in defining the results. This work illustrates the need for a standardized and explicit display of methodological information in RNA-seq experiments.

THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF IDEOLOGEME JUSTICE IN "GREY-ZONE" MORAL EMOTIONS OF A RAISING VICTORIAN IDEOLOGY

The study investigates into the impetus of grey-zone moral emotions underlying the sustenance of intragroup power relations in the times of ideological transitions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries refracted in the fiction discourse of the pre-Victorian era. The article is based on the assumption that the lingual representation of emotional experiences defines the emotional conceptual structure of the people and establishes social rules for emotion display patterns. A qualitative content analysis of the pre-Victorian novel corpus has substantiated the working hypothesis about the transitory mechanisms of ideological shifts facilitated by the dominant emotional repertoire across the social groups of the time. The paper claims the centrality of justice concerns in the ideological potency of the emotional experience of envy, jealousy, resentment, and ressentiment. An in-depth co-occurrence analysis of lingual representation of justice-seeking emotional reactions testifies to re-establishment of religious ideologeme JUSTICE displayed in a whole-scale procurement of resignation and inhibition compatible with placating vice-related experiences. The study argues that the restoration of the ideologeme under conditions of fixed social stratification is aimed at the exploitation of the emotional kindling of waning religious ideology for the accedence of a newly rising secular Victorian ideology. The analysis of the interconnectedness of lingual representation of grey-zone moral emotional reactions has underpinned the conjecture about their correlation to the system of religious ethics in determining an explicit display of strong feelings of injustice as outward enmity, impiety, and apostasy.

Displaying All Object-Image Pairs of an Optical System

Ray diagrams are widely used in introductory physics textbooks to illustrate the behavior of ideal systems of lenses or mirrors in geometrical optics. Their virtue lies in their explicit display of multiple ray paths connecting object and image points, which leads naturally to an understanding of how a planar object is transformed into a planar image. This understanding is often followed by questions involving the general behavior of a lens. How do the image position and size change as the object is moved to different positions, or when the object also has significant axial depth? What image regions are visible for a particular lens aperture and eye position? Answering these questions using ray diagrams can be cumbersome, often requiring multiple diagrams with objects in different positions and leading to a fragmented understanding of lens behavior. This article illustrates how these kinds of questions can be addressed using a related visualization method I call an “image field diagram,” which trades the explicit constructions of ray diagrams for a more general display of object-image pairs.

Ontological Map of Service Oriented Architecture Based on Zachman

<em>Service orientation is an approach in the field of enterprise architecture, business information systems and software application that its main element is the service. Shared services is an organization model of sharing, across an organization. It enables collaboration among the functions/departments. Main motivations for shared services are sharing, promote efficiency, reduce cost, and support scalability. Despite of the widespread use of these two approaches in information technology, there is no tool to optimize the management of them. The aim of this study is Ontological map of service oriented architecture based on zachman framework to adapt it in the reference enterprise architecture framework through implementation ontology views on system architect software and as well as equivalent ontology component with UML diagrams. After the implementation of the suggested model, the results showed that ontology is a formal description and explicit display of objects, concepts and other entities in the relationship between them. In other words, there is a model that describe all that is in fact in to understandable language for the system. Thus the proposed establishes have association between all aspects of zachman framework, also to create a clear description of business concepts in the management of shared services and is effective to provide a unified platform for enterprise modeling.</em>

Evaluative stancetaking in courtroom opening statements

AbstractDrawing upon a corpus of five high-profile contemporary Anglo-American trials, this study explores and elucidates, qualitatively and quantitatively, the process of evaluative stancetaking in courtroom opening statements. In particular, the study examines such stance resources as self-mention, hedges, boosters, and attitude markers. The findings reveal that evaluative stance expressions constitute an integral part of the opening statements of both the prosecution and defense lawyers, exhibiting similar frequency patterns. Of these resources, devices that signal commitment or lack thereof (i. e., boosters and hedges) appear to occur frequently and outnumber explicit attitude markers, which occur least frequently. It is through these devices that lawyers are able to subtly bypass the legal constraints that prohibit explicit display of personal opinions and comments on the evidence.

An Assessment of Religious Impediments to Polio Vaccination in Tehsil Khwazakhela, Swat

The objective of this study was to assess religious impediments to polio vaccination. The study was carried out in tehsil Khwazakhela of District Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A sample size of 200 respondents was selected through simple random sampling. Chi square test statistics was used to test the association between the study variables i.e. religious barriers (independent variable) and impediments to polio vaccination (dependent variable). At Bi-variate level association of impediments to polio vaccination was found significant with clergies fatwah (verdict) against polio vaccination (P=0.040), perceiving polio vaccine as American ploy (P=0.001), common superstition spread by extremists (P=0.033) and militants threatened the people (P=0.028). Propaganda based on religious misbeliefs that polio vaccination is un-Islamic drive, aimed at sterilizing young Muslim male and female had some roots amongst the masses as exhibited from the findings of the data. A well-patronized campaign over media through proper display of victims from polio with explicit display of agonies of the polio victims is essential. Religious scholars efforts in endorsing polio vaccination drive could also make it undisputed amongst the users. This will act as catalyst in removing the fears, misconceptions and myths, and other fabricated stories from the minds of locals.

보육교사의 정서표현규칙과 정서노동 수행전략에 관한 연구

이 논문은 보육교사의 직무에서 정서표현규칙의 하위요인과 정서노동 수행전략 간의 관계 및 영향력을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울 지역 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사 268명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료 분석을 위해 상관관계 분석과 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 정서표현규칙 지각은 정서노동의 내면행동, 표면행동과 유의한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 내면행동은 정서표현규칙의 교육, 몰입, 공정성, 명확성과 유의한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 정서표현규칙 지각은 표면행동, 내면행동에 정적인 영향을 미치고, 정서표현규칙에 대한 몰입이 내면행동에 유의한 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 보육교사의 정서노동을 지원하고 교사의 정서관리 능력향상을 위한 교육방향을 제안하였다. The purpose of this study was to find out the linkage between emotional display rules and emotional labor strategy and the affects of the display rule factors on the emotional labor strategy. The participants of this study were 268 childcare teachers in Seoul, and the collected data were analyzed using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: First, display rule perception was positively related to deep acting and surface acting. And the deep acting was positively related to display rule education, commitment, fairness of display rule, and explicit display rule. Second, display rule perception has a positive effect on deep acting and surface acting. And the commitment to display rule has a positive effect on deep acting. This study provided practical implications to help childcare teachers' emotional labor, and suggested directions for the education program for the emotional competence of childcare teachers.

Fathers and teenage daughters in Shanghai: Intimacy, gender and care

Explicit display of emotion has not been a central part of fatherhood cultural norms in China. Historically a strict, emotionally remote and authoritarian father figure has been favored. Through a study of fathers and teenage daughters aged 13–17 conducted in Shanghai during 2008–2009, this paper explores the extent to which new norms and practices of emotionally involved or intimate fatherhood, emergent in Western societies, are present in Chinese families. The study adopts a mixed-method research design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative data: four focus groups, a questionnaire survey with girls (N = 773) and their fathers (N = 598), 17 semi structured interviews carried out separately with daughters and their fathers. The findings show that while mothers are the favored parent for the majority of the sample (91%), over 75% of the girls report feeling ‘close’ or ‘very close’ to their father. Interviews reveal the subtle manner in which Shanghai fathers and daughters display emotional closeness and create a special intimate relationship. There is little evidence of ‘pure relationships’ in the Giddens sense as fathers do not communicate with their daughters about their own lives. The findings provide new insights into the subjective experiences of Chinese fathers and daughters and illuminates how they negotiate between traditional and modern gender norms about fatherhood and manhood.

Related Research of Femininity, Aesthetic Values and Clothing Education Psychology: A Case Study of Chongqing Females

Female’s clothing psychology is the explicit display and representation of femininity and aesthetic values, which affects female’s clothing choices and dressing behavior. This paper adopts questionnaire sampling with 791 females in Chongqing city as the representative and continues to the research of the mutual relationship between trait, aesthetic values and clothing psychology through 788 valid questionnaires except invalid ones. The conclusions are as follows: (a) vigorous, beautiful and upright are the most typical group traits among Chongqing females, and diligent, intelligent and capable are the most representative traits of themselves; (b) a majority of Chongqing females have a demand for beauty in the work or shopping, and kindness, sincerity, wisdom are the top three aesthetic ideals; (c) Chongqing female’s clothing needs more emphasis on comfort, practicality and style, so fashion, elegant and sexy rank the top 3 of dressing style. (d) The person who “doesn’t consider” the beauty in the work and shopping at the lowest ideal standard or the scale of the realm to judge things of beauty or ugliness. And they all base on their interests and hobbies. In contrast, the person who “always consider” beautiful is most based on an ideal standard or the scale of the realm as aesthetic judgment standard in the work and shopping. The person who “sometimes considers” in the work and shopping is most affected by public opinion and popular fashion and is least influenced by an ideal standard or the scale of the realm. (e) “vigorous” ranking the first in Chongqing female’s group traits has an extremely significant positive correlation (P<.001) with “fashion” ranking the first in dressing style, and has a significant positive correlation (P<.005) with “sexy” which ranks the third in dressing style; “elegant” ranking the second in dressing style has an extremely significant positive correlation (P<.001) with “upright” and “diligent”.

SO(10) GUT IN FOUR AND FIVE DIMENSIONS: A REVIEW

We review SO(10) grand unified theories (GUTs) in four and five dimensions (4D and 5D). The renormalizable minimal SO(10) SUSY GUT is the central theme of this paper. It is very predictive and makes it possible to construct all mass matrices including those of the Dirac and heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Its predictions covers all ranges of particle phenomena. The explicit construction of the Higgs superpotential and the explicit display of a symmetry breaking pattern from GUT to the SM show that the naive desert from the SM to GUT in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is a too simplified concept and we have many definitely determined intermediate energy scales in general. This situation destroys the naive gauge coupling unification in the MSSM scheme. Also the precise measurements of neutrino oscillation data have revealed several small but manifest mismatches with our predictions. Also there are arguments that it is impossible to construct a GUT theory in 4D with a finite number of multiplets that leads to the MSSM with a residual R symmetry. If we try to solve all these pathologies comprehensively, it is very attractive for us to go into extra dimensions. Extra dimension may be either warped or flat. The fifth dimension, for simplicity, is compactified on the S1/(Z2) (warped) or on the S1/(Z2×Z′2) (flat) orbifold with two inequivalent branes at the orbifold fixed points. In the former warped case, intermediate energy scales are translated with the positions of Higgs fields in the bulk and the fundamental scheme of the MSSM is recovered. On the other hand, in the latter flat scenario, all matter and Higgs multiplets reside on the Pati–Salam (PS) brane where the PS symmetry is manifest. There the original renormalizability in Yukawa coupling is broken but its essential structures of mass matrices in minimal SO(10) GUT in 4D is promoted to the PS invariant action in 4D. In the gaugino mediation mechanism, the SO(10) gauge multiplet is transmitted to the PS brane through the gaugino mediation with bulk gauge multiplet. Further breaking of the PS gauge group to the SM group is realized by VEVs of the Higgs multiplets [Formula: see text]. We show that this model not only cures all pathologies in SO(10) GUT in 4D but also provides the consistent inflation scenario and dark matter candidate and leptogenesis. The gauge coupling unification is successfully realized after incorporating the threshold corrections of the Kaluza–Klein modes. Finally we add some comments on the impacts of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle by the Large Hadronic Collider at CERN (LHC) on SUSY GUTs.

La Junta de Reformación de 1586: tapadas, comedias y vicios cortesanos

Si existe un ámbito que implicó, en sí mismo, una manifiesta represión de la sociabilidad moderna ese fue, sin duda, el de la denominada reformación de costumbres. Esta se centró en campos propicios para la difusión de opiniones e ideas ajenas, cuando no abiertamente confrontadas con el dogma confesionalista, que podían tener una manifestación explícita, caso del teatro, o implícita, caso de la vestimenta y el uso que se hiciera de ella; especialmente, por parte de la mujer, a quien se consideraba un ser irresponsable tendente naturalmente hacia el pecado. Tales fueron, junto con el de los vicios de la población cortesana, los temas tocados por la Junta de Reformación de 1586. Propósito fundamental del trabajo es subrayar la transversalidad de la pretensión de reforma del comportamiento social, en un contexto en el que el aspecto religioso trascendía el conjunto de la realidad sociopolítica moderna.

Clinicians' views of formats of performance comparisons

Comparisons of the performance of health care providers are increasingly being used. Despite one key audience being clinicians, there has been little research on the format and content of such comparisons. Our aim was to explore clinicians' comprehension and preferences of format and content in displaying provider outcomes using comparisons of patient reported outcome measures data. A qualitative study, based on seven meetings involving 107 clinicians (mostly consultant and junior doctors, and nurses), revealed their views on nine formats and five aspects of content. Key findings were the desire for data in more than one format, explicit display of comparative performance (rank order) and the need for explanations (e.g. of unfamiliar formats and of statistical uncertainty). Several themes were identified that shaped clinicians' views. Results were sufficiently clear to permit recommendations for the form and content of standard reports for the National Health Service.

Autocalibrating Tiled Projectors on Piecewise Smooth Vertically Extruded Surfaces

In this paper, we present a novel technique to calibrate multiple casually aligned projectors on fiducial-free piecewise smooth vertically extruded surfaces using a single camera. Such surfaces include cylindrical displays and CAVEs, common in immersive virtual reality systems. We impose two priors to the display surface. We assume the surface is a piecewise smooth vertically extruded surface for which the aspect ratio of the rectangle formed by the four corners of the surface is known and the boundary is visible and segmentable. Using these priors, we can estimate the display's 3D geometry and camera extrinsic parameters using a nonlinear optimization technique from a single image without any explicit display to camera correspondences. Using the estimated camera and display properties, the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of each projector are recovered using a single projected pattern seen by the camera. This in turn is used to register the images on the display from any arbitrary viewpoint making it appropriate for virtual reality systems. The fast convergence and robustness of this method is achieved via a novel dimension reduction technique for camera parameter estimation and a novel deterministic technique for projector property estimation. This simplicity, efficiency, and robustness of our method enable several coveted features for nonplanar projection-based displays. First, it allows fast recalibration in the face of projector, display or camera movements and even change in display shape. Second, this opens up, for the first time, the possibility of allowing multiple projectors to overlap on the corners of the CAVE-a popular immersive VR display system. Finally, this opens up the possibility of easily deploying multiprojector displays on aesthetic novel shapes for edutainment and digital signage applications.
