The Application of Moderate Politeness into School Practices of An Urban Muhammadiyah Primary Students in The Era of Global Communication

Language politeness is considered one of the defining characteristics of Indonesian society. In the age of global communication and computing, moderate politeness, centered on politeness of opinion, politeness in deliberation, and politeness in respecting the opinions of others, is an important factor. However, progressive politeness in Urban Muhammadiyah Primary School is becoming a growing concern that requires special attention. The purpose of this study was to examine this violation in the interactions between learners, teachers, and principals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. The data were collected from interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with classroom teachers, principals, and learners, while observations were recorded through field notes and reflections. Moreover, audio-visual documentation in the form of photographs, videos, and recordings during the learning processes and interactions between learners or teachers were utilized. Data collection was based on four strategies: observation, interview, documents, and audio-visual, as outlined in Creswell's theory. Validity was examined using data triangulation, member checking, prolonged duration of data collection, repeated observations in the study location, and peer examination. The findings of the study include a) There was a violation of the politeness through bullying, body shaming, and verbal abuse, which violated the principles of appreciation and sympathy. b) Urban Muhammadiyah Primary School helped promote language politeness through several methods, including performing Duha prayers, morning recitation with assistance from the teacher and principal, and teacher role modelling by arriving at school at 06.15 and reciting Asmaul Husna together. Importantly, these efforts positively affected the politeness of the learners. This study provides an update on the assistance given to learners to address impoliteness, including Duha prayers, morning recitation, and memorization of Al-Qur'an and Asmaul Husna assisted by teachers. Moreover, the school has a well-equipped School Health Unit (SHU) to promote a healthy, clean, disciplined, and polite lifestyle. Appeals are made through persuasive and affectionate books and direct assistance from teachers as role models. The study of the Quran and Asmaul Husna demonstrates children's moderate politeness in expressing their opinions. The agreement to develop a joint discipline demonstrates the children's moderate politeness in deliberation.

Politeness of Directive Speech Acts on Social Media Discourse and Its Implications for Strengthening Student Character Education in the Era of Global Education

Abstract: Social media is one of the most influential media in all sectors and structures of socio-cultural life, government law politics, science and technology, and especially education. One of the direct impacts on education is strengthening vs. reducing student character education. The purpose of this research is to (a) explore forms of directive speech acts, (b) identify politeness strategies for directive speech acts; and (c) formulate the implications of the politeness strategies directive speech acts of the #sahkanRUUPKS comments on social media towards student’ character building in the era of global computing-communication. This research is qualitative using hermeneutical psychopragmatic techniques. The object of this research was directive speech acts uttered in the #sahkanRUUPKS comments on social media 2019-2020. Data were conducted through documentation technique, note-taking technique, observation technique, and theoretical triangulation technique. Data were analyzed using politeness model of Brown-Levinson and Leech supported by analysis of politeness model of Indonesian socio-cultural harmony. The results of this research indicated that the form of public’s directive speech acts in supervising government policy plan through social media appeared to be actualized into suggesting, criticizing, reminding, appealing, calling, and reminding. The realization of the category of directive speech acts of politeness indicated that the Indonesian people are participatory and accommodative towards a new plan of policy that brings benefits and good for all. The category of the politeness strategies of directive speech acts are begging and asking had a small frequency because to control the government policy plan which is essential to the value order of people's lives requires strict harmonious control. The Indonesian people had a trend to use positive politeness methods in providing input to the government. The public at the general level still showed social awareness and sensitivity towards government policy plans that are circulated through social media coverage. The forms and intentions developing on social media can be wrapped into teaching materials to strengthen character education and the values of politeness for children in the learning process at school. This can be carried out by criticizing the news circulating on social media through positive politeness strategies and wisdom maxim. The wisdom maxim instilled in children is a vital pillar in strengthening children's character education in the era of global communication.

Analysis on carbon footprint: A case study of Gorkhapatra national daily in Nepal

Study of carbon footprint is an emerging field which provides statistical analysis about the contribution of an activity on global climate change. Every human activity in daily life is achieved at the expense of those substances which directly or indirectly contribute to global warming. In this era of global communication, humans are habitual to know about the ongoing changes in the world. Newspapers are one of the reliable sources for getting updated about the global information. Paper-based newspapers come at the cost of greenhouse gas emissions. So, this article based upon an analysis of carbon footprint of Nepal’s national daily newspaper provides evaluation of each of the following: carbon emission during the manufacturing of raw materials, carbon emission from fuel consumption during transportation of raw materials, carbon emissions during the printing of newspaper and carbon emission from the fuel consumption during the transportation of printed newspaper. During the study period of 2019 A.D., the result shows that the total carbon emission of Gorkhapatra newspaper was found to be 2308.5 kg CO2e per ton. The upshot of this study provides not only thorough information about carbon emissions but also builds a foundation for calculation of carbon emissions from paper used in various sectors.

Character Strength and virtues in The Perspective Of Islamic Education Psychology and Implication in Guidance and Counseling Services

The main objective of this study is to identify and formulate the strengths of character and virtue, according to Ibn Miskawaih and Imam Al-Ghazali. The study was carried out with a qualitative approach with the type of literature review, by tracing both books, especially journals related to the strength of character and virtues formulated by positive psychology. The data analysis was carried out in a descriptive-reflective-introspective way with the perspective of Islamic psychology. The results of the study show that in terms of the number and composition of the strengths of character and values of virtue developed by positive psychology and the psychology of Islamic education, which in this case is represented by the thoughts of Ibn Miskawaih and Imam Al-Ghazali, are not significantly different. There is little difference between the strength of the character of positive psychology and the psychology of Islamic education. The difference is that there is a middle point or middle way in the thoughts of Ibn Miskawaih and Imam Al-Ghazali. The shari'ah commands this midpoint or middle path; the goal is to achieve an intermediate path to all the qualities and qualities of virtue; if it deviates towards one of the two extremes, then it must be corrected. These findings can provide a valuable contribution to guidance and counseling services through strengthening character and virtue in the current era of global communication.

From Literary Illusions to Media Simulacra: Toward a Semiotic Imagology in the Era of Global Communication

In the pre-globalization era, when communication between nations was difficult and infrequent, and direct (experiential) or indirect (textual-descriptive) knowledge was scant, images of ‘foreign countries’ were frequently constructions based on inadequate information. As a result, fictional descriptions and images were the primary source for people to gain some knowledge of other nations. However, beginning with the great voyages of discovery of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, we began to step into an age of globalization, which generated the diversification of ‘source texts’ in this regard. Today, the emergence of new media has accelerated and proliferated such diversity. These new media texts now play a dominant role in forming the image of other countries, to some degree replacing traditional fictional texts. The basic presuppositions of comparative literature imagology have changed accordingly. Starting from the core concept of ‘images’, this paper discusses why it is necessary to integrate imagology, with ‘semiotic images’ as core concept, and ‘communications research’.

The World Database for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery: The Dawn of a New Era of Global Communication and Quality Improvement in Congenital Heart Disease.

The World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery was founded with the mission to "promote the highest quality comprehensive cardiac care to all patients with congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, regardless of the patient's economic means, with an emphasis on excellence in teaching, research, and community service." Early on, the Society's members realized that a crucial step in meeting this goal was to establish a global database that would collect vital information, allowing cardiac surgical centers worldwide to benchmark their outcomes and improve the quality of congenital heart disease care. With tireless efforts from all corners of the globe and utilizing the vast experience and invaluable input of multiple international experts, such a platform of global information exchange was created: The World Database for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease went live on January 1, 2017. This database has been thoughtfully designed to produce meaningful performance and quality analyses of surgical outcomes extending beyond immediate hospital survival, allowing capture of important morbidities and mortalities for up to 1 year postoperatively. In order to advance the societal mission, this quality improvement program is available free of charge to WSPCHS members. In establishing the World Database, the Society has taken an essential step to further the process of global improvement in care for children with congenital heart disease.

Teaching English as A Foreign Language at Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah: Facts and Challenges

The mastery of English as a tool of communication among nations, cultures, and people around the globe is an undeniable fact. This is just like an unstoppable virus spreading worldwide. It is rather difficult to emerge new languages to stop or even just to slow down the wide use of English. Islam world also needs to follow this by equipping its people with English as a communication tool. As Arabic is used for the communication inside Islam, English is needed to communicate Islam to other people around the earth both to Muslims or Non-Muslims. Teaching English has become an increasingly significant element in Islamic education. For this, the issue of teaching English at madrasah is an important concern for practitioners in the area of TEFL in Islamic institutions. This paper will explore the writer’s ten-year experience in teaching English at a madrasah ibtidaiyyah in Cirebon, West Java-Indonesia. The conditions that will be pictured are the culture, the students, the teaching and learning process, and the outcome of the current practices in madrasah ibtidaiyyah, mainly in the area of TEFL. Then, all these conditions will be contrasted to up to date research findings and theories so that the facts and the challenges can be clearly seen. This will also be seen from the perspective of current curriculum in Indonesia, namely curriculum 2013, which bears contradictions with the presence of it. In fact, the curriculum 2013 eliminates English as a subject learned at primary school level. What madrasah ibtidaiyyah will do in the next coming years can direct the expected outcome of the teaching of English at this level. Kinds of program that can be designed to empower the state of English mastery are an essential case to discuss. This all facts and challenges can provide insights so that people working in and with madrasah ibtidaiyyah understand and are ready to face the global communication era.

Modified Approach for VSS NLMS Algorithm for Echo Cancellation in Teleconference System

communication or wireless phones have become need of everyone in this technological era of global communication. Wireless phones not only provide voice communication, they can also easily be used for other services. But voice quality is always preferable over other services of cellular networks. This demand of superior voice quality, just as like as wired line, over a wireless network has developed and is known as echo cancellation. The main aim of the acoustic echo cancellation is to remove the echoes present in desired signal and to provide echo free speech to the listeners. In this paper, a new approach for acoustic echo cancellation (1) and double talk detection for a teleconference system in non stationary environmental conditions is proposed. In this approach the impulse response of the loud speaker is assumed to be available and is estimated from the digital low pass filter. This approach is more common in the sense that it is applied to all existing algorithms. Performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is known by calculating echo return loss enhancement (ERLE). This approach shows better performance for non stationary environment and reduces the complexity of both acoustic echo cancellation and double talk detection algorithms and this can be implemented with the help of MATLAB.

Strategic Stakeholder Engagement in Public Diplomacy

“Strategic stakeholder engagement,” as a term, concept, or practice has yet to gain wide currency within public diplomacy. That gap, however, may soon close as the international arena transitions from the information age, dominated by the mass media and message-driven strategies, to the global communication era dominated by the social media and relational and network strategies. Earlier models of public diplomacy were based on a one-way flow of information that was detached and impersonal, which are now becoming obsolete. For public diplomats, strategic stakeholder engagement represents a two-fold challenge of identifying the “who” (stakeholders) and the “what” (engagement). This seeks to address those challenges, drawing upon multiple perspective, including business, public relations, development communication, and traditional diplomacy. The paper includes illustrative examples of information, relational and networking public diplomacy initiatives from around the globe.

Dubbing: adapting cultures in the global communication era

Adapting translation for dubbing is not a mere linguistic fact: it is mainly the adaptation of cultures. In fact, audiovisual translation and adaptation implicitly takes into account the importance of the historical background behind the multiplicity of languages and cultures, and by doing so, it becomes a means of cultural diffusion. That peculiarity enables what we can describe as the “socio-anthropological function” of the adaptation of translation for dubbing, which is the object of the following paper. Through an analysis of some important landmarks that intersected the history of some Western countries in the last two centuries, it was possible to trace a lack of reciprocity in the usage of dubbing in the two biggest film markets: North America and Europe. Clearly, that helps cultural supremacy to penetrate into our lives in a very subtle way. As a result, the paper attempts to demonstrate how dubbing spreads all cultures in order to have an effectively global communication.

Semiotics as semioethics in the era of global communication

Semiotics has the merit of demonstrating that whatever is human involves signs. Indeed, it implies more than this: viewed from a global semiotic perspective we now know that whatever is simply alive involves signs. And this is as far as cognitive semiotics and global semiotics reach. But semioethics pushes this awareness even further by relating semiosis to values and by focusing on the question of responsibility, of radical, inescapable responsibility inscribed in our bodies insofar as we are ‘semiotic animals,’ on the human capacity for responsibility for life over the entire planet. Semioethics develops our awareness of the extension of the semiosic network in the direction of ethics; from a semioethic perspective the question of responsibility cannot be escaped at the most radical level (that of defining commitments and values).

Group-Based Unidirectional Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme

This is the era of global communication which is a very exciting time in the field of information technology. Technical advances such as the internet combined with software applications aid and enrich our modern daily lives. Thus, large businesses and the private sector can see the benefits of embracing these applications to gain the advantage over their competitors. Moreover, this not only applies to businesses but also the educational field. This paper focuses on the particular technologies that have been applied to support education, for instance, learning management systems and e-Learning. This paper also covers the difficulties facing these approaches such as the limitations of the Internet, lack of expertise in development of media and digital content, the difficulty when collecting learning material distributed throughout the internet, and the cost of development. Therefore, this paper presents a conceptual model of distributed learning management systems by using Cloud computing combined with web service technology to solve the problems mentioned above.

Sensibility in the era of global communication: a semioethic perspective1

This article proposes a phenomenological and semiotic analysis of sensibility in the era of globalization, which is the era of global communication. How are time, space, self, others, life, death, health, illness, work, employment, unemployment, free-time, development, underdevelopment, and so forth, perceived in today's world? As vast as this excursion may seem, these different issues concerning sensibility all bear on the problem of the relation between identity and alterity. The hypothesis guiding my analysis is that the common denominator in science and sensibility today is the ideology, or ideo-logic, of identity. However, taking Europe as our societal paradigm the ideo-logic of identity reveals itself as a menace to the difficult process of forming the European Union. In Europe – indeed, in world history at large – the logic of identity and of alterity can be traced in all the important phases that have determined peoples’ historical destiny. In the current phase of development in the social reproduction system of advanced capitalism, the contrast between identity and alterity is at an extreme, at the point of exasperation. In this article I intend to explore the possibility of opening sensibility to alterity not only in Europe, but in the anthroposociosemiosic sphere at large.

Telling Stories in the Era of Global Communication: Black Writing?Oraliture

This article is part of a research project developed during a meeting at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, on 17 July 1998, attended by the present authors from the Department of Linguistic Practices and Text Analysis, Bari University, Italy (where they teach Philosophy of Language, General Linguistics, and Semiotics), by Francesco Loriggio, Professor of Comparative Literature at Carleton University, Canada, and Joseph Pare, Professor of Literary Semiotics at the University of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. One of the immediate aims of this project is publication of a collective volume, possibly in dual edition, including contributions by authors from different countries and representing different cultures, working from dif? ferent perspectives, according to different interests and competencies. The provisional title of the volume is Le reseau du recit. La critique de la communi? cation mondialisee / Telling Stories. Towards a Critique of Global Comunication. The expression telling refers to the practice of storytelling, of nar? rating stories, as well as to the value of storytelling as a practice, and to the signifying value and import of stories, stories that are telling, significant. Global or world communication is subject to the world market, to the processes of general commodification characteristic of communicationproduction society today. Consequently, one of the distinctive features of world communication is the tendency to homologation, to a leveling process of the differences. However, homologation gives rise to the for? mation of identities, individualisms, separatisms, and egoisms, of both the individual and community order, which are simply illusory. They accompany and are complementary to the mechanisms of competitiveness, con? flict, and mutual exclusion. Paradoxically, the search for identity excludes otherness. In fact, the kind of difference necessary for the assertion of identity, for self-assertion, is difference that is indifferent to other differ? ences. The condition of indifferent difference is achieved by sacrificing otherness to varying degrees. Reference here is to both internal otherness, to what identifies with difference internally, and external otherness, the difference of others, autrui. On the contrary, storytelling is a practice common to all cultures that far from denying differences exalts and relates them according to the prin? ciple of mutual hospitality, wherewith it favors encounter and mutual understanding among different peoples. But even more, this practice is the structural-genetical expression of differences related dialogically across dif? ferent languages and discourse genres on the basis of hospitality and inter? est for the other. Historically, storytelling has acted as a sort of connective

The Era of Global Communication as Perceived by Muslims

Modern times had not yet finished disrupting life in the Muslim world when a new era arrived, the era of globalization. Technological innovations, especially in the field of communication, are expected exercise a profound cultural impact. From this perspective, Muslims are not the initiators but the victims of change. Their value system is being profoundly affected and many Muslim governments feel threatened by Western hegemony. Some have chosen isolation and have tried the impossible, that is to say the complete closing of their frontiers to the products of Western media (Iran, Saudi Arabia), while others select, censor and adapt these products to conform to their own tastes. However, nearly all Muslim communities are trying to disseminate their own cultures and to carve out a place for themselves in the immense world market of films and television programmes by appropriating the new technologies of communication. Thus can one affirm that a homogenization of cultures will take place? This article concentrates on the new tools of communication and concludes that the use that we make of these tools can effectively allow for both the preservation of one particular culture and its participation in a universal culture.

Public relations education in Thailand

Public relation education in Thailand, offered at undergraduate and graduate levels at 21 universities, has become one of the most popular and competitive programs chosen by Thai students. This article discusses the development of public relations education in Thailand, the structure of current programs' curricula and course content at eight universities (three public, five private), graduate programs, instruction, and faculty. The in-depth interviews with public relations faculty revealed that while public university professors believed their students were well-prepared academically, most at private universities did not think the current curriculum sufficiently prepared students to be competitive in the work force in the future. The faculty uniformly agreed, however, that courses in interpersonal communication, intercultural/international communication, marketing communication, and new media technology should be added to the curriculum to help better prepare future practitioners to work in the global communication era.
