Analysis of (gender-)inclusive language strategies in ecotourism corporate websites of Southern Spanish SMEs

Gender inclusive language (GIL) strategies are being increasingly applied by institutions and some companies to show their commitment to gender equality. In this article, a framework for the analysis of the use of inclusive language is explained. It also analyzes the use of these strategies in a sample of websites of ecotourism companies from Southern Spain, considering that these types of companies present a series of commitments to society and the environment through their CSR practices. Statistical analysis was carried out to verify whether GIL strategies were used by companies. The results show that the analyzed companies do not generally apply inclusion strategies in verbal language, although they do apply positive strategies in graphic and visual language that move away from stereotypes and objectification of women. Therefore, it is advisable for companies in this sector to seek advice so that the language they use on their websites is in line with values that are not only required by society, but can also have a positive impact on their corporate image.

Graphological Features As Portrait Of A Society In Crisis In James Joyce’s Dubliners

Graphological devices are a feature of linguistic resources which have implications for cohesion, coherence, and meaning explication in written texts. For literary writers, graphological language can be creatively utilized as a literary technique to enact the thematic signification of creative texts. To this end, this study examines the artistic deployment of graphological features in James Joyce’s Dubliners to construct the thematic preoccupations of the text. The study identifies the prominent graphological features in the novel. It categorises and analyses these salient devices and relates them to the socio-political context of the novel. This is with a view to construing the graphological style of the text as a tool to depict thematic concerns enunciated in the literary world of the novel. Six graphological devices were isolated for analysis as a result of the observation that their excessive use in the text is significant to the realization of its thematic essence. Analysis revealed that 7,136 punctuation marks were used in the text of just 170 pages, apart from other graphological devices that were not studied. Through this linguistic craftsmanship, the author ingeniously connected different stories with different plots into an interrelated unified thematic description of paralysis, confusion, retardation, and entrapment of the people of Irish society of his age. The study, therefore, concludes that besides its grammatical form and function, graphic language can equally serve a literary function to foreground the thematic message of a literary text.

The Planked Timber Vaults Built in Seismic Zones of South America between the 17th and 18th Centuries: History and Construction Analysis

ABSTRACT The western coast of South America is a territory continually exposed to earthquakes, where architects had to experiment proposals that would allow them to maintain the safety of their buildings. Among the different solutions for earthquake-resistant constructions, planked timber vaults appeared in South American religious architecture during the 17th century. This paper explains how the construction technique of these vaults arose and developed in a context conditioned by earthquakes. For the study, architectural surveys of the different variants of South American vaults were conducted, which were confronted with data from archives and historical texts, to later be expressed graphically through the drawing reading method. This method is important to transfer textual information from historical documents to contemporary graphic language and permit to learn more about the architectural heritage, like the construction characteristics of the planked timber vaults and understand the structural criteria followed by the ancient master builders.

Graphical models for narrative texts: Reflecting and reshaping curriculum demands for Swedish primary school

This study explores how graphical models, teaching resources and language arts curricula for primary school in Sweden represent features of narrative genre. Furthermore, it provides a conceptual and methodological approach for studying the recontextualization of genre knowledge in different educational contexts. We selected two particular models (the Story Face and the Obstacle Chart) because they are promoted by the Swedish National Agency of Education. We analyzed the models, curricula, and related teaching resources through Bernstein's concept of recontextualization fields, Martin's genre theory, and Kress and van Leeuwen's visual grammar. The results show that both graphical models use metaphors to evoke students’ everyday experience and break down a narrative text to key story elements. Aligning with Swedish language arts curricula, the models de-emphasize the need to manage tension in narratives. Finally, the results show that the models’ different ways of representing key story elements may be difficult for teachers and students to decode.

Strong Sleptsov nets are Turing complete

It is known that a Sleptsov net, with multiple firing of a transition at a step, runs exponentially faster than a Petri net, opening prospects for its application as a graphical language of concurrent programming. We provide a classification of place-transition nets based on firability rules considering general definitions and their strong and weak variants. We introduce and study a strong Sleptsov net, where a transition with the maximal firing multiplicity fires at a step, and prove that it is Turing complete. We follow the proof pattern of Peterson which he applied to prove that an inhibitor Petri net is Turing complete by simulating a Shepherdson and Sturgis register machine. The central construct of our proof is a strong Sleptsov net that checks whether a register value (place marking) equals zero.

Language play techniques in mass media

The article analyzes graphic occasionalisms created through the graphic instruments of language play. The material for the study includes the new formations taken from the texts of the modern Russian-language publicistic discourse. The studied material shows that capitalization as one of the techniques of graphic language play is widely represented in the texts of mass media. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that, unlike other works, it examines modern graphic occasionalisms formed through the combination of capitalization and other methods of graphic play: polycodification, reduplication, holophrasis, and the techniques associated with the division of the usual word in different ways. The practical material allows for the analysis of the linguistic situation of the present period of time.

A Graphical Calculus for Lagrangian Relations

Symplectic vector spaces are the phase spaces of linear mechanical systems. The symplectic form describes, for example, the relation between position and momentum as well as current and voltage. The category of linear Lagrangian relations between symplectic vector spaces is a symmetric monoidal subcategory of relations which gives a semantics for the evolution -- and more generally linear constraints on the evolution -- of various physical systems. We give a new presentation of the category of Lagrangian relations over an arbitrary field as a `doubled' category of linear relations. More precisely, we show that it arises as a variation of Selinger's CPM construction applied to linear relations, where the covariant orthogonal complement functor plays the role of conjugation. Furthermore, for linear relations over prime fields, this corresponds exactly to the CPM construction for a suitable choice of dagger. We can furthermore extend this construction by a single affine shift operator to obtain a category of affine Lagrangian relations. Using this new presentation, we prove the equivalence of the prop of affine Lagrangian relations with the prop of qudit stabilizer theory in odd prime dimensions. We hence obtain a unified graphical language for several disparate process theories, including electrical circuits, Spekkens' toy theory, and odd-prime-dimensional stabilizer quantum circuits.

Discovering and developing collaborative leadership using vectors and videos

Leadership development continues to rely on executive and educational programs that focus on enhancing individuals’ skills, knowledge, or experience. But when leadership is collaborative (i.e., socially achieved by multiple people irrespective of status or title), then currently favored development approaches may be inadequate and inefficient because they do not train the correct skills and therefore waste leadership development dollars. In this paper, we describe a six-step process that can be used in organizations for collaborative leadership development. The six-step process used video recordings of two groups who watched themselves in order to notice and describe the emergence (or not) of collaborative leadership. Before watching themselves, we provided a new graphical language that changed the ways in which the group could see and understand their collaborative activity. The new graphical language (called vectors) made it possible for them to focus and comment on their group practice and not on their practice as individuals. This process of video recording a group and giving them graphical tools to reflect on the practices that they see, provides a simple way for participants to discuss their group patterns and the consequences of these for leadership. Their discussion was developmental in that it naturally helped the group to learn about their own practice. The six-step process seems to be particularly potent because it is based on the group identifying what does and does not advance their collaborative leadership experientially rather than just being taught about behaviors that support or detract from collaborative leadership. We conclude by reflecting on the implications of our process for those interested in developing collaborative leadership.

Exploration and Application of Graphic Design Language Based on Artificial Intelligence Visual Communication

Graphic design is one of the design disciplines with the longest history in the history of human design. As a marginal discipline, it integrates science and art organically. Graphic design has three basic characteristics: information, art, and economy. Information refers to the fact that graphic design is a carrier of information communication, and graphic design works have the practical function of specific information transmission. Among them, graphic design language is the direct form of information communication, but there is a relative lack of research on the intelligent recognition of graphic design language. To address this problem, this paper focuses on the analysis method of graphic design language based on artificial intelligence visual communication. First, in order to segment different parts of the image more accurately, this paper improves a deep learning-based image segmentation method. The method uses a three-branch network structure to learn semantic information, detail information, and fusion information, respectively. The coding network uses a lightweight convolutional neural network and adds an attention mechanism in the branches to weight the importance of image feature channels, and the features extracted from different perceptual fields of the image are multiscale fused to fuse the features extracted from different stages of the coding network. Then, the salient target regions are detected on the basis of segmented images, the salient target emotions are analyzed by using feature pyramids to improve the convolutional neural network, the emotions expressed by graphic design language are analyzed by constructing a weighted loss convolutional neural network on a multilayer supervised module, and the salient target emotions are fused to obtain the final emotion classification results. The experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms traditional segmentation methods in the dataset, and the sentiment analysis based on segmented images can obtain higher sentiment classification accuracy than the sentiment analysis method that directly identifies the whole image, which is beneficial to the research and application of graphic design language.

The emoji graphic artificial language on the educational website "Arzamas"

. The paper aims to identify the specific features of the interaction of natural language (Russian) elements and an artificial language (emoji) in a polycode literary text. Such texts are one of topical objects of analysis in communication studies, text linguistics, linguistic pragmatics, the theory of speech genres, and others. The fragments of poems by A. S. Pushkin and B. L. Pasternak published on the website of the "Arzamas" educational project are described. The structure of the fragments and the role of emoji signs in the formation of a polycode text as an important element of mnemonic technology are characterised. In the course of the study, the conclusion about the activity of models of parallel, complementary, as well as substitutive syntax is made whose functioning is also common in the areas of media and advertising Internet communication.

An Overview of the Evolution of Capsule Endoscopy Research-Text-Mining Analysis and Publication Trends.

There has been a steady increase (annual percentage growth rate of 19.2%, average of 18.3 citations per document) in capsule endoscopy (CE) publications from a global, interdisciplinary research community on a growing range of CE applications over the last 20+ years. We here present the status of CE as a field of research, tracing its evolution over time and providing insight into its potential for diagnostics, prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases. To portray the development of the CE research landscape in the 2000–2021 time span, we analyzed 5764 scientific publications. Analyses were performed using the R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics and VOSviewer, a software developed for scientific literature analysis by scientometricians. The aim of this paper is to provide a wide comprehensive analysis of the trends in CE publications. We thus performed subgroup analysis on the selected papers, including indications, annual percentage growth rate, average citations per document, most publications from research areas/interdisciplinary field of the articles, geography, collaboration networks through institutions, specific clinical keywords and device type. The firm increase in CE publications over the last two decades highlights the overall strength of the technology in GI applications. Furthermore, the introduction to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has been promoting a range of technological advances that keep on affecting the diagnostic potential of CE.

Analysis of Graphic Language Expression in Visual Communication Design

With the continuous development of society, only relying on words can no longer satisfy the mutual communication between people and countries. In the background of the data era, graphics language also meets more opportunities and challenges, so it is of great significance to transform data into the graphics language. This paper mainly designs a set of a data-based intelligent system. Through the research of multi-dimensional data visualization, firstly, the high-dimensional data is processed to reduce the dimension, so as to get the lower dimensional data, and then the low-dimensional data is transformed into a more intuitive type of graphic markers, so that users can understand the high-dimensional data more intuitively. The research results show that the system can provide users with the most appropriate label type and save users more time and energy. Data visualization has different experiences for different users, so it is a very important challenge to make users feel that pivoting is as effective as possible.

The Casimir Energy for Lorentz-Violating Scalar Field in Sphere

Abstract: In the present article, the Casimir energy was computed for the massless and Lorentz-violating scalar field, confined in a sphere with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. In 3+1 space-time dimensions, four violated directions to break the Lorentz symmetry are likely, according to which we presented the Casimir energy regarding all possible directions for the Lorentz violation and discussed the pure contribution to the Lorentz violation in a language of graphs. In the details of the calculation, a simple method was developed based on the direct mode summation and the sum-over-modes were performed via the contour integration in a complex plane of eigenfrequencies. The obtained result for all cases of Lorentz symmetry breaking was consistent with the expected physical basis. Keywords: Casimir energy, Lorentz-violating sphere scalar field.

The application of graphic language in animation visual guidance system under intelligent environment

Abstract With the continuous development of society, the role of the visual guidance system in animation design has also evolved and evolved in its long history, leading to the changes in the values of modern beauty. In the field of modern social and cultural design, the visual guidance system in animation design has unique regional nature and cultural influence. The visual language should correspond to the visual environment and easy to understand and be known by people. It combines animation conception and design technology to capture the cultural charm and beauty, values, and behavioral norms of people in different fields. This article studies and analyzes the visual orientation of graphic language in the design of animation visual guidance system, and injects the graphic language with orientation into its animation design, so that the animation design is more in line with the characteristics of the times. It can be more adapted to the emerging media and better convey the information transfer between the enterprise and the audience. To further understand the audience’s tendency toward elements of graphic expression, this article analyzes the subjective perceptions of the respondents on the importance of color selection, calligraphy fonts, graphic expression, and modeling meaning. The results of the study showed that the respondents aged 21–35 paid more attention to the choice of graphic colors, and the highest number was 69.

Antipattern Practice for Essence Practice Library

The Essence graphical representation language allows to describe various project management practices in software development. At the moment, the Practice Library describes the most popular development methodologies, but work with various risks, such as code smells or antipatterns, which may be cause of future problems, is not represented. This article presents an extension for the Practice Library of the Essence language in the form of a practice for working with antipatterns. To represent antipatterns in the system, the Antipattern subalpha, its states and checkpoints are proposed. Antipatterns states and checkpoints: 1. Detected: о Signs of poor-quality design or implementation of the Software System have been found. о The boundaries of the low-quality area in the Software System have been defined. о Work Products associated with the inferior part of the Software System have been defined. 2. Identified: о The Software System Elements included in the Antipattern have been determined. о The type of antipattern has been determined. о Dependencies of the Software System on the antipattern elements have been determined. о The impact of the antipattern on the Software System has been estimated. 3. Refactoring Method Defined: о Possible options for refactoring have been identified. о The cost of the refactoring options has been assessed. о The most suitable refactoring method has been selected. 4. Fixed: о The Software System elements included in the antipattern are completely covered by tests. о The antipattern has been refactored. о Tests confirm that the Software System remains operational. о The Work Products related to the changed part of the Software System have been updated. 5. Closed: о Tests, reviews or other appropriate activities have been undertaken to ensure that the antipattern has been corrected or shown not to actually be a fault or flaw. о The antipattern management has been finalized. о Technical debt has decreased. To record data about an antipattern, the work product Antipattern Report and its levels of details with checkpoints are proposed. Levels of details and checkpoints are: 1. Antipattern detected: о The components of the Software System included in the antipattern are defined. 2. Antipatterns properties are determined: о An antipattern type has been defined. 3. Antipattern influence determined: о The cost of antipattern fixing was estimated. о An assessment of possible losses associated with the presence of an antipattern was carried out. о The antipattern is recognized as mandatory for elimination. 4. Antipattern eliminated — optional: о Refactoring completed. о Testing showed the correct work of the components included in the antipattern. о Antipattern elimination activity completed. To analyze the architecture of the system, the Inspect Architecture activity is proposed. The Fix Architecture activity represents actions to fix architecture flaws. Code analysis is presented as a Review the Code activity, and correction of deficiencies found during the analysis is presented as a Refactor the Code activity. The influence of subalpha on the state of the Software System alpha is analyzed. Recommendations were given on the proposed activities. Information about activities is presented in the form of diagrams in the Essence language. The proposed practice allows to record information about the found flaws in the code, process them correctly and avoid problems with the project in the future. It is an example of working with entities that negatively affect the progress of the project.

Sanat ve tasarımın günümüzde artan geçirgenliğiyle birlikte hibrit bir görselleştirme alanına dönüşmesi disiplinlerarası yaklaşımların daha fazla gündeme gelmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda bir görsel anlatım tekniği olarak illüstrasyonun farklı disiplinlerde ve medyalarda kullanılmasıyla birlikte birçok illüstrasyon türü ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu türlerden biri de bilimsel yöntemlerin daha kolay anlaşılabilmesi ve anatomik eğitimin basitleştirilmesi için pratik bir çözüm sağlayan medikal illüstrasyondan başkası değildir. Yüzyıllardır patolojik ve anatomik bilgilerin bireylere ve topluma aktarılmasını sağlayan medikal illüstrasyon, tıp öğrencilerinin vücudun işlevsel yapısı ile ilgili daha etkili ve verimli bir yaklaşım geliştirmelerine yardımcı olur. Özellikle fotoğrafın bulunmasıyla birlikte, medikal illüstratörler de bir ikilemde kalarak çizim, baskı ve gravür gibi resimsel tekniklerden sonra sanatsal bir yaklaşım mı sergileyecekleri ya da birebir gerçekçi bir illüstrasyon yaratacakları konusunda zorluklar yaşamışlardır. İşte tam bu noktada medikal illüstrasyonun öncüsü olarak Max Brödel, geliştirmiş olduğu çeşitli tekniklerle birlikte alanın uygulamalı, kuramsal ve sanatsal yapısını inşa etmiştir. Çağdaş yeni medya mecralarının artması ve teknolojilerin gelişmesi ile birlikte medikal illüstrasyon, artık tasarım odaklı grafik dilin olanakları dahilinde faydalı bir boyutta kazanmaya başlamıştır. Tüm bu bilgilerden hareketle araştırma makalesinde yapılan analiz ve incelemeler sonucunda, medikal illüstrasyonların gelecekte dokunulabilen veya izlenilebilen sanal verilere dönüşebileceği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.

Translating a large subset of stateflow to hybrid CSP with code optimization

Stateflow is a graphical language for modeling hierarchical transition systems, well-known for the complexity of its semantics, which is only informally explained in its user manual. Formal analysis and verification of Stateflow models usually proceed by first translating a subset of Stateflow to a formal language with precise semantics. Most existing work address only “safe” subset of Stateflow and ignore the most complex semantic issues. Moreover, it is difficult to balance simplicity of the translation algorithm with conciseness of the resulting model. In this paper, we describe a two-stage process for translating a large subset of Stateflow to Hybrid CSP, where the first stage is mostly syntax-directed and addresses each feature of Stateflow separately, and the second stage is a code optimization step that simplifies the resulting model using information from static analysis. We further incorporate this method into translation of Simulink models, in particular consider Stateflow charts triggered by various signal sources and function calls. The translation process is thoroughly validated using a hand-designed set of benchmarks, as well as larger case studies from existing work.

Rural Landscape Design Update and Optimization Based on Scientific Computing Algorithm of Color Template Space Projection

It is particularly important to plan and design the rural landscape of the Qiang nationality, but the regional characteristics of the rural landscape of the Qiang nationality in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River must be maintained at the same time. On the basis of the regional culture formed by the regional geography and cultural environment of the Qiang ethnic group in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, combined with the investigation of the Qiang ethnic group in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, this study explores the formal characteristics and formation reasons of the rural landscape of the Qiang ethnic group in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River from the perspective of rural landscape planning and design. It summarizes the formal features of the Qiang rural landscape in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River in a graphical language. It analyzes the problems faced by traditional rural landscapes. It then summarizes the experience and deficiencies in practice through the research on the existing Qiang rural landscape planning and design. It analyzes the influence of the regional culture of the Qiang nationality on the planning and design of the rural landscape of the Qiang nationality and proposes a strategy for the planning and design of the rural landscape of the Qiang nationality. This study hopes that this can provide theoretical and practical reference for the planning and design methods of the Qiang rural landscape in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River and the protection, development, and dissemination of the Qiang culture in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. Experiments show that there are 764 settlements when the radius of the river buffer is within 500 meters.
