Mobilizing Metaphors in Criminological Analysis: A Case Study of Emotions in the Penal Voluntary Sector

Abstract Metaphors pervade media and political constructions of crime and justice, provoking responses and shaping actions. Scholarship in adjacent disciplines illustrates that emotion-metaphors offer unique insight into emotional and interpretive processes, valuably illuminating sense-making, problem solving and action. Yet, metaphors are rarely analysed within criminology, leaving an important opportunity for theorizing emotions and their implications largely unrealized. We explore the analytical and theoretical potential of emotion-metaphors for criminology, using empirical research conducted in the penal voluntary sectors of England and Scotland. Drawing on focus groups with volunteers and paid staff, we analyse the metaphors that non-profit practitioners mobilized to convey how their work felt: (1) absurd and unstable, (2) vulnerable and constrained, (3) devalued and discarded and (4) risky and all-consuming.

Political Attitude of the 212 Alumni towards Muhaimin Iskandar as a Candidate for Vice Presidentiality of Anies Baswedan

The General Election is an event where the public can choose their leaders openly and compete between the three presidential candidates, namely Lt. Gen. TNI (Ret.) H. Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo, H. Ganjar Pranowo, S.H., M.I.P., and H. Anies Rasyid Baswedan, S.E., M.P.P., Ph.D. The third candidate certainly has their strategy for selecting a vice presidential candidate and how to campaign. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar, as candidate pair number 1, experienced many challenges in getting public support. This research aims to explore the political attitudes of the Persaudaraan Alumni 212 community organization using interpretative qualitative methods to understand social phenomena through Bryman's interpretation process. Meanwhile, to find out the extent of the truth of the research, the author uses qualitative data analysis techniques starting from data collection and data analysis, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of the research show that, on average, the administrators and members of the Persaudaraan Alumni 212 showed cognitive, affective and conative components regarding Muhaimin Iskandar's candidacy as Anies' vice-presidential candidate, who then ultimately accepted candidate number 1 because of the mental that resulted from joint deliberations and produced Itjima Ulama.

Personal Storyworlds

By combining perspectives from transmedial narratology and musicology, this article explores how the notion of a “personal storyworld” can offer new opportunities for understanding the transmedial processes whereby pop artists’ personas are continually (re-)constructed and (re-)negotiated through and across myriad points of contact between artists and audiences. Emphasis is placed on the performative potential of audiovisual aesthetics and public posturing, on the one hand, and on audiences’ interpretive flexibility, on the other. These related themes are addressed through a case study of an artist who aptly exemplifies the continual transfiguration of pop personas, namely Justin Bieber. The main part of the case study concerns how Bieber’s sixth studio album, Justice (2021), and associated material (music videos, live performances, interviews, promotional material, social media posts) related to and formed part of his broader personal storyworld. This sets up an exploration of how the dynamics between retrospection and reinvention shape the reframing of personas, which raises a series of questions concerning the dialectic between continuity and change, artist-audience dynamics, and transmedial processes of interpretation.

EVALUATION OF THE CARBON FOOTPRINT IN THE TREATMENT OF URBAN WASTEWATER IN THE CANARY ISLANDS (SPAIN)

ABSTRACT: Wastewater treatment plants play an important role within the urban water cycle to prevent the natural water environment and human health from being negatively affected by human activities. However, wastewater treatment processes, such as effluent discharge and indirect emissions resulting from energy or chemical production, also negatively affect the environment. Footprints have been used to track human influence on the environment in different areas of interest and have been applied to assess the sustainability of wastewater treatment plants. In this article, a comprehensive review of footprint assessment was investigated to evaluate the wastewater treatment process in wastewater treatment plants. The review showed that carbon footprinting was used to assess the sustainability of WWTPs, and that other footprint assessment applications (such as nitrogen and phosphorus footprinting) were also introduced to assess eutrophication of water bodies. To promote the application of footprint assessment, this article regulates the study objectives, frameworks, system boundaries, data processing methods, and the resulting interpretation process. The pros and cons of the footprint assessments were discussed and investigated in detail, examining the CO2 production on each island of the Canary archipelago, and several suggestions were proposed to improve the footprint assessments. Analysis of footprint assessments at different wastewater treatment plants revealed that wastewater treatment technologies and scales had a significant impact on footprints. Furthermore, research hotspots identified using a keyword network diagram showed that the water-carbon-energy nexus was a promising direction for future studies. The purpose of the study is to improve the reduction of the carbon footprint both at the level of direct and indirect emissions factors using new tools and methodologies.

Positive Health in University Teaching - a Field Report

Health is more than the absence of illness. Health and illness co-exist dynamically interwoven in the life process. Health is (also) the result of a process of experience and interpretation and is, therefore, individual. In a multi-stage survey with patients and practitioners, the Dutch general practitioner Dr Machtelt Huber identified the dimensions of meaning, mental well-being, social participation, coping with everyday life and quality of life, which must be considered in addition to physical functioning and are each weighted differently

EFL Learners’ Engagement And Its Academic Effects In Shadow Education: Phenomenological Study

In Indonesia, shadow education is becoming a promising educational business, which raises questions about the quality of the teaching at school and factors affecting such a phenomenon. The current phenomenological study aimed to find out kinds of engagement of ten Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Shadow Education (SE). It would also highlight academic effects of shadow education in Indonesia. Grounded in the interpretive paradigm, the study employed a qualitative approach to gain an in-depth and holistic picture of EFL learners’ lived experiences at shadow learning in Indonesia. Data were collected mainly through observation and interview. The data were analyzed by using coding and categorized into themes and categories in the meaning making and interpretation process. The study revealed that students were engaged beahiorally, emotionally and cognitively in SE. Dealing with the students' participation in SE, it was found that SE gave good effects for students' academics, such as giving satisfaction, helping them to understand English and prepare examination. Theoretically, study is expected to give understanding on how shadow education affects student engagement and its academic effects. Practically. This study informed teachers about good ELT practices in the SE to be adapted in their classroom .

Algorithm for automatic extraction of tectonic fault planes from the resulting probability cubes of machine learning models

Seismic exploration is an integral part of the oil and gas industry when studying the geological structure of deposits. Extracting planes of tectonic disruptions is one of the most challenging tasks in seismic exploration, involving the interpretation of seismic information and lacking universal solutions. This problem underscores the relevance of developing and researching corresponding methods. The article introduces a new algorithm for the automatic extraction of such planes from probability cubes obtained as a result of machine learning model predictions. The algorithm’s features include: 1) data smoothing to reduce noise, 2) clustering points based on their characteristics, 3) extraction of contour points and determination of plane boundaries. The algorithm was implemented and tested on synthetic and real seismic exploration data. The test results confirmed the high efficiency of the algorithm compared to existing approaches implemented in specialized industry software packages. The proposed solution allows automating the interpretation process of seismic data, aimed at obtaining information about the shapes and orientations of planes of tectonic disruptions. This, in turn, aids in well drilling planning and determining the strategy for the extraction and development of deposits.

Modyfikacja tekstu prawnego w orzecznictwie Sądu Najwyższego – problem wykładni prawa czy niedozwolona wypowiedź normatywna

The subject of the analyses contained in the study is a phenomenon that raises fundamental controversies in the context of the principle of the tripartite division of powers in Poland, the principle of legal certainty and the principle of certainty of legal transactions. It concerns the tendency of judicial modification of the law for the purpose of a specific case being decided. The extreme and most far-reaching manifestation of judicial lawmaking is the modification of a legal text that is directly understood, i.e. one that does not give rise to any, even the slightest, doubts as to its content. In the current state of the law, there is no basis for modifying a legal text in the process of administering justice. Such modification means exceeding the limits of legal interpretation and is an impermissible normative statement. New legal rules may be formed in the activity of jurisprudence, but they must arise on the basis of a resultant relationship, following a process of restorative interpretation and provided that they are generally accepted by the judicature.

The semantics of gender, politics, and religion in Tsitsi Dangarembga’s This Mournable Body

Zimbabwean literature produced after the attainment of independence has been predominantly engrossed with thematisation of the postcolonial subaltern subjects’ existential conditions, enunciated together with gender politics, religion and socio-economic environment that frame politics of difference, and sites of suffering or resistance. These tropes remain absorbing and critical even in contemporary female-authored novels that also engage with a deeply fractured modern-day Zimbabwe. Tsitsi Dangarembga’s novel, This Mournable Body, offers important site to debate the enduring concerns of gender inequalities, politics, and religion. A stylistic approach is adopted to identify the semiotic construction of the text and discuss the different styles that are deployed to foreground central tropes in the novel. The adoption of stylistics as an underlying conceptual model locates this current study in the interdisciplinary research which brings together gender, applied linguistics, poetics, politics, and religion, in order to provoke new ways of reading the dialogic and polyphonic elements of the text. The study contends that the politics of difference is an unsettling subject that profoundly impacts on gender relations and religio-political practices in a milieu where precarity is a major defining feature of the subaltern sections comprising women and the marginalised poor. Thus, the novel’s title figuratively foregrounds the (un)mournable bodies of the people, who are both dehumanised and heavily burdened by surviving at the margin.Contribution: Tsitsi Dangarembga’s novel, This Mournable Body demonstrates a deep concern with the plight of the subaltern people in a gendered society and how their conditions of the Othered bodies are further amplified by both religion and politics in present-day Zimbabwe. Thus the study contributes to the mounting discourses about politics of fragmentation and binary practices, and the ensuing agony suffered by the sidelined persons. The adopted stylistic reading of the focus novel underscores the interdisciplinary urgency to literary interpretative process.

Optimal and Multi-View Strategic Hybrid Deep Learning for Old Landslide Detection in the Loess Plateau, Northwest China

Old landslides in the Loess Plateau, Northwest China usually occurred over a relatively long period, and their sizes are usually smaller compared to old landslides in the alpine valley areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Southeast Tibet. These landslide areas may have been changed either partially or greatly, and they are usually covered with vegetation and similar to their surrounding environment. Therefore, it is a great challenge to detect them using high-resolution remote sensing images with only orthophoto view. This paper proposes the optimal-view and multi-view strategic hybrid deep learning (OMV-HDL) method for old loess landslide detection. First, the optimal-view dataset in the Yan’an area (YA-OP) was established to solve the problem of insufficient optical features in orthophoto images. Second, in order to make the process of interpretation more labor-saving, the optimal-view and multi-view (OMV) strategy was proposed. Third, hybrid deep learning with weighted boxes fusion (HDL-WBF) was proposed to detect old loess landslides effectively. The experimental results with the constructed optimal-view dataset and multi-view data show that the proposed method has excellent performance among the compared methods—the F1 score and AP (mean) of the proposed method were improved by about 30% compared with the single detection model using traditional orthophoto-view data—and that it has good detection performance on multi-view data with the recall of 81.4%.

Vision, body and interpretation in medical imaging diagnostics.

This article explores the profound impact of visualism and visual perception in the context of medical imaging diagnostics. It emphasizes the intricate interplay among vision, embodiment, subjectivity, language, and historicity within the realm of medical science and technology, with a specific focus on image consciousness. The study delves into the role of subjectivity in perception, facilitating the communication of opacity and historicity to the perceiving individual. Additionally, it scrutinizes the image interpretation process, drawing parallels to text interpretation and highlighting the influence of personal biases and individuality in medical practice. By revisiting Husserl's conceptualization of "image consciousness" and introducing the notion of "image theme", the paper seeks to establish a theoretical framework for making sense of images within the context of technological interpretation. A key objective is to enhance the phenomenology of technology through a systematic analysis of medical imaging diagnosis, contributing to an expanded epistemological foundation for medical practice. The article recognizes that the construction of medical knowledge incorporates subjective elements, especially within a historical context. The interpretation of images involves both instrumental and expert interpretation, with human subjectivity playing a crucial role. The article asserts that human creativity and conscious engagement are indispensable in interpreting all medical images.

The Pragmatic Motivation of Atypical English Way into/to Construction

The English way construction exhibits distinct constructional meaning and semantic features; however, the prepositional slot in this construction has not received sufficient attention, and there remains a lack of comparative research regarding different prepositions in this field. This study set out to examine the semantic classification, mapping features, cognitive factors in the subcategory English way into/to construction, and to improve the algorithm of ΔPratio. The research adopted a bottom-up corpus-driven approach based on the BNC and used HAC (Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) to explore the semantic categories of the verb collexemes and compare the lexical richness in these two constructions. The results revealed that at the level of linguistic structure, coercion and metaphor, as well as family resemblance, served as legitimization methods for verb entry into the construction, while the principles of economy and expressivity disclosed the intentions and motivations behind the semantic extensions of constructions at the pragmatic level. Additionally, this research found that the latter two principles were competitive in the interpretation process of way into/to construction, providing insights into understanding the psychological and social factors in language communication.

Objective: Determine the relationship between constitutional theories and interpretation methods in the context of euthanasia, highlighting the change in Colombian jurisprudence in 2020. Reflection: The application of interpretation methods by the Constitutional Court in specific cases, such as Martha Liria, is evident. Sepúlveda and Víctor Julio Escobar, based on the analysis made in this regard from constitutional theories, such as the original, customary law, judicial activism and approaches of authors such as Dworkin, Alexy, Habermas and Nino. Which results in generating an impact on the fundamental guidelines and principles for constitutional interpretation, as well as different types of interpretation, such as authentic, doctrinal and judicial. Conclusion: The importance of having interpretation methods to guarantee rights in modernStates is highlighted, highlighting the complexity and dynamism of the constitutional interpretation process, making it pertinent to establish a more deep-rooted connection between constitutional theories and interpretation techniques in the context of euthanasiain Colombia, analyzing specific cases and providing data on its practice in the country.

Lingual Means of Creating Cinematic Effect in the English Literary Text

The article is devoted to the cinematic effect within a descriptive language register of the English literary text. The article reveals the essence of cinematic effect as a literary technique based on cinematographic montage composition style that is the use of certain compositional-syntactic means to create brisk, dynamic description and represent a viewer’s shifting perspective. Cinematic effect enhances the plausibility of the literary text and should be considered more than just an imitation of
 cinematographic montage techniques but rather a lingual reflection of the natural process of perception and interpretation. The article reveals the concept and characteristic features of the descriptive language register of a literary text as a model
 for representing events, where the speaker describes what is actually observed at the moment of speech through sensory experiences. The article provides a thorough analysis of linguistic means of creating a cinematic effect within the framework of the
 descriptive language register of a literary text. The special attention is paid to lingual means that manifest the perception by various modalities, and their role in creating a cinematic effect within the descriptive language register of a literary text. The author concludes that the use of the reproductive register is predefined by the genre peculiarities of the material under study, since the way of representing events within the framework of the descriptive language register is most conducive to conveying viewer’s shifting perspective, the effect of the reader's direct presence at the events described, i.e. cinematic effect

Generative AI in Responsible Conversational Agent Integration: Guidelines for Service Managers

Responsible integration of conversational agents (CAs) like chatbots is crucial for service firms to mitigate risks and foster positive outcomes. This article provides managerial guidelines through a Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) lens, focusing on CDR Culture, Management Structure, and Digital Governance across the service firm, software provider, and customers/society. It examines how organizational sensemaking processes of creation, interpretation, and enactment are triggered by CA-related issues and events. The research highlights the role of generative AI (GenAI) in implementing CDR factors and responsible CA software development lifecycle phases during development and integration. Guidelines are provided for leveraging GenAI to enhance CDR Culture, incorporate ethical considerations into CDR Management Structure, and enable robust Digital Governance mechanisms to prioritize customer/societal well-being. A multilevel framework illustrates reinforcing the guidelines through organizational sensemaking processes, and fostering responsible CA integration aligned with ethical principles and societal values.

Against abstract universalisms in fashion theory: For a dialogical process of interpretation and translation

Criticism on the Eurocentric character of the concept of fashion has been raised already for almost four decades within fashion studies. Yet, the growing entanglement with globalization studies and postcolonial and decolonial theories has accelerated an epistemological turn within fashion studies. The epistemological turn not only fostered new research on the empirical level, it also challenged the theoretical framework of the discipline. Even the concept of fashion itself, entrenched as it is in modernization theories, has gradually come under attack. The concept of fashion has been held accountable for defining only ‘modern’ western fashion as its research object, while side-lining, even erasing, other ‘traditional’ sartorial systems. In order to redress the Eurocentric character of fashion theory and the exclusionary effects it engenders, fashion has been redefined as a ‘universalism’. Although this view became quite mainstream, in its turn it also became gradually criticized. It has been rightly argued that redefining fashion as a universalism is only another way of re-inscribing fashion scholarship in the hegemonic western ‘modern/colonial’ way of knowledge production. Studying sartorial practices positioned outside the western capitalist fashion system through the lens of fashion obscures an understanding of their own specific characteristics. In this article, I will turn more specifically towards the question of which methodologies we can mobilize if we, scholars versed in western modern knowledges and modern knowledge production, are committed to a multiplicity of sartorial worlds in as well as outside ‘the West’. The article proposes a hermeneutic–dialogical method of interpretation and translation as an epistemological as well as an ethical tool towards a more adequate understanding of ‘other’ ways of wearing, making, feeling, thinking of and living through clothes. Finally, this article offers a tentative analysis that shows what this dialogical approach might entail.

Oppressive Forms of Life

ABSTRACT Rahel Jaeggi argues that forms of life ought to be the main reference point for a critical theory of society because the internal normative structure of life forms allows for immanent critique. In this article, I extend her model by systematically considering the possibility of oppressive forms of life. Oppressive forms of life are clusters of practices in which subordinated groups are systematically excluded or disabled from participating in the social processes of interpretation through which the values and purposes of those very practices are determined. The possibility of oppressive forms of life poses a challenge to the method of immanent critique because it seems that any such critique must rely on immanent norms that are at least partly constituted by interpretations and that can therefore be distorted by oppression. I argue that Jaeggi’s model of immanent critique can be extended to respond to that challenge, either by recovering a constitutive form of freedom within all forms of life or by consciously adopting a partisan stance in favour of oppressed and marginalised self-understandings.

“The Narraganset Chief, or the Adventures of a Wanderer”: Recovering An Indigenous Autobiography

This article introduces The Narraganset Chief, a recently recovered autobiography written by a Native American mariner and published anonymously in 1832. Portions of the original narrative are woven together with archival research and historical context to present a series of vignettes that illuminate the lives and experiences of three generations of one family from 1760 to 1832. First-person accounts from the authors (one a member of the Narragansett Tribe) also explore the process of recovery, interpretation, and reconnection. Illustrations depict the intersections and disconnections of gender, power, sovereignty, and the sea.

Tiga warna orientasi pendidikan akuntansi masa depan

The WEF 2020 report has disrupted the world of education and the accounting profession. The role of accounting, traditionally carried out by humans, is gradually being overshadowed by technology. The sustainability of this profession serves as the primary background for this research, along with the direction and orientation of the future development of the accounting discipline, questioning its continued relevance. This study aims to analyze the future development, challenges, and opportunities in accounting education. It also seeks to construct a conceptual model for the orientation of accounting education development that aligns with the times. The research results are expected to contribute to developing educational curricula and the accounting profession. This study employs an interpretive-constructive approach through literature review. This research's analysis, mapping, and interpretative processes revealed three orientations in the development of accounting education referred to as Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) Accounting. Each represents standardization, globalization, geopolitics, sustainability, and innovation and technology. These three colors, known as True Tone, are expected to strongly influence accounting practices and serve as a crucial reference in the development of accounting education curricula.
