A Pragmatic Study of Oaths in Arabic Ceremonies

Language is viewed as a kind of communication that includes greeting, requesting, threatening, demanding, thanking, swearing, and so on. Oath is a fundamental foundation of the language that individuals regularly use. Oath is considered a linguistic phenomenon and exists in most languages for the same purpose in various structures. The current study intends to investigate the oaths and how they are constructed to deliver the message and discover the pragmatic features of the chosen oaths relating the performative speech actions and presuppositions. The study used a mixed research technique, both qualitative and quantitative, to explore and characterize five English oaths. It has been determined that English oaths involve explicit and implicit performative speech acts represented by the verbs "swear and pledge" and the future tense structure. Furthermore, they are found to meet Searle's taxonomy of speech actions, with two sorts of presuppositions, existential and lexical.

التبادل والتكامل بين الثقافتين الصينية والعربية الوسطي والتوفيقية من منظور / Inter-communication and Mutual Reference Between Chinese and Arab Civilizations: Based on the Perspective of the Golden Mean and Conciliation

Abstract The two ideas of moderation and syncretism are among the most distinctive ideas about the Chinese and Arab cultures, as they are similar in many aspects, such as the historical ground of their formation and development, the problems they are trying to address and the questions they raise, and moral, spirit and values that can be read through them. Comparing these two ideas contributes to a deep understanding of the values and ideas they share, as this comparison provides a solid basis for achieving exchange and integration between them. This kind of communication and exchange is particularly urgent in the context of realizing the “Belt and Road” slogan and the slogan of “A common future for mankind.” At the same time, it is necessary to recognize the differences between the two cultures when making the comparison, so the path leading to the integration of the Chinese and Arab cultures must be through adherence to the ideas of mutual understanding and openness advocated by both moderation and syncreticism, with awareness of their own identity.

Automated hate speech detection and span extraction in underground hacking and extremist forums

AbstractHate speech is any kind of communication that attacks a person or a group based on their characteristics, such as gender, religion and race. Due to the availability of online platforms where people can express their (hateful) opinions, the amount of hate speech is steadily increasing that often leads to offline hate crimes. This paper focuses on understanding and detecting hate speech in underground hacking and extremist forums where cybercriminals and extremists, respectively, communicate with each other, and some of them are associated with criminal activity. Moreover, due to the lengthy posts, it would be beneficial to identify the specific span of text containing hateful content in order to assist site moderators with the removal of hate speech. This paper describes a hate speech dataset composed of posts extracted from HackForums, an online hacking forum, and Stormfront and Incels.co, two extremist forums. We combined our dataset with a Twitter hate speech dataset to train a multi-platform classifier. Our evaluation shows that a classifier trained on multiple sources of data does not always improve the performance compared to a mono-platform classifier. Finally, this is the first work on extracting hate speech spans from longer texts. The paper fine-tunes BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and adopts two approaches – span prediction and sequence labelling. Both approaches successfully extract hateful spans and achieve an F1-score of at least 69%.

Communication in black spot using lora technology

The main theme of this paper is to develop an embedded based system to send messages from black spot area using LORA and GSM. Black spot is nothing but an area where we could not find any network signals. Even in cities also sometimes we may not have signals inside the room. Through such areas sending or calling is not possible. This black spot is used for security purposes. Military regiments are signal jammed areas where the communication is impossible, so the people there use this kind of communication. This project is also used in undercover operations where the communication takes place in this process. Here the project built is useful to create signals for sending messages in the black spot through the two different communication modules i.e., LORA and GSM. In the project work different frequencies for individual modules are likely to be used such as GSM (1800MHz) and LORA (2.4GHz). By using these two wireless communication devices we create communication link in between LORA and GSM by which a message will be sent in the form of SMS through the Bluetooth module.

The Triumph of Morality in William Shakespeare’s King Lear

A set of relationships governs the kind of communications among people within one or more societies, of which most important is the one that occurs between children and their parents, especially fathers. Psychologically speaking, this kind of relationship is so significant insofar as it is the basis of the child’s personality inasmuch as it is the source of its character and action in social media.
 Undoubtedly, the most significant factor in a drama is the social relationships among which child-father relationship is a recurring theme. William Shakespeare appears to be much more occupied in this sort of relationship which prominently and significantly figures out in most of his dramas such as Romeo and Juliet, Titus Andronicus and Hamlet. Most important is the child-relationship in King Lear. In Shakespeare’s plays children and parents interact in various ways, for they are headed to behave in such a way that leads to the resolution he intends to cite at the end of the play. As in life, conflicts among the family members that appear in his drama are very important whether resolved or not. 
 This paper mainly revolves around the child-father relationship in King Lear, especially the one between Lear’s daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia on the one hand, and their father on the other; and between Edmund and his father Gloucester as far as the theme of ingratitude is concerned. Many studies have been made on the filial relationships in this play, which have at the same time ignored the close relationship between the Qur’anic connotations attained by the dramatist and the essential themes in this play. To attempt such a study like this is to shed light on Shakespeare’s awareness of the Islamic representations reflected in King Lear as far as the theme of ingratitude is concerned. Many attempts have been made to analyze Shakespeare’s drama from the Islamic perspective; yet, this play has not got its due analysis from the Islamic viewpoints. This paper is to clearly view the themes of ingratitude, the children-father relationship, adultery, injustice, foolish behavior and brotherly relationships in terms of the relevant Islamic representations. When considering all the complications that surround the environment of the play it is recognized that the morality as reflected in the Holy Qur’an triumphs over evil powers and any other representations contrary to it.

Comprehensive Assessment of Automatic Speech Recognition System for building Artificial Intelligent Schemes

Speech recognition is a multidisciplinary branch of natural language processing (NLP) that allows machines to recognize and translate spoken language into text. Speech recognition is crucial in the digital transformation process and it is widely employed in a variety of fields, such as education, industry, and healthcare, and has lately been employed in a number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Speech is a simple and effective method for human communication, but nowadays we are not only connected to one another, but also to the various devices in our lives. As a result, this kind of communication can be used by both computers and people. Interfaces are used to carry out the interaction, which is referred to as Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This paper provides an outline of the key areas of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), an important topic in artificial intelligence. It also includes an overview of recent major research in speech processing, as well as a basic idea of our proposal that may be considered as a major contribution to this field of research. The paper also refers to some specific enhancements that can add value to the researchers in future.

‘Lights in the darkness’, part 2: characterising effective communication with professional groups following the death of a child

ABSTRACT In this two-part article, we investigate communication with parents following the death of a child. Parents who have lost a child need to communicate with a wide range of professionals, and the quality of the communication that parents have with these groups can radically affect their experience of bereavement. In this UK-based interview study, we investigate why particular types of communication are deemed particularly (in)effective, by examining them in the light of parents’ descriptions of the experience of loss.In the first part of the article, we reported findings from our in-depth content analysis of these interviews, discussing the ways in which the death of a child was experienced and how their accounts relate to previous work in the area, and then exploring the parents’ accounts of the kinds of communication they had with healthcare professionals involved. In this second part of the article, we consider the wider network of professionals with whom parents may come into contact following the death of a child. We conclude by discussing the ways in which effective care and communication resonates with, and takes account of, the experiences of the bereaved.

Schleiermacher's Plato by Julia A. Lamm

Reviewed by: Schleiermacher's Plato by Julia A. Lamm F. C. C. Sheffield LAMM, Julia, A. Schleiermacher's Plato. Boston: Walter De Gruyter, 2021. vii + 255 pp. Cloth, $94.99; eBook, $94.99 The contention of this book is that Schleiermacher "changed how we understand Plato." Schleiermacher translated the entire corpus of Plato during a "philological renaissance" in late eighteenth-century Germany that concerned itself with careful translations of classics texts and a historical-critical method. The book shows how that act of translation informed the interpretive principles laid out in his "General Introduction," which proved revolutionary for Platonic studies and informed Schleiermacher's own philosophical and theological work. The book lays out the method clearly, exploring its novelty against the backdrop of Schleiermacher's contemporaries. Four themes emerge. First, there is the "internal method," a philological task informed by historical understanding of the linguistic, literary, and conceptual background. Its significance is set against the backdrop of late eighteenth-century applications of the historical-critical method, which had begun to reject dogmatic commitments, theological agendas, and philosophical systems, in favor of internal evidence and textual interpretation. [End Page 821] Second, where the internal method rejected systematizing dogma, be this in the form of Neoplatonism or "unwritten doctrines," the second emphasized Plato's artistry, which rejected a "piecemeal approach" focused on isolated dialectical arguments. This artistry was the "interpretive key" that exposed the unity of Plato's thought. Following the Phaedrus, a work must be understood as an organic whole; what is scattered must be collected and divided into its natural parts to expose the "natural sequence and necessary relation" in the works. This is applied not just to individual works but to the entire corpus: The dialogues are essentially connected and lead naturally and necessarily from one to the other. So, this came with the commitment that Plato had in mind the full body of material that was to be communicated. Third, Schleiermacher attended to the philosophical significance of Plato's literary brilliance by drawing attention to the relationship between form and content. This rehabilitation of the dialogue form, his most enduring legacy, captured the essentially dialogical, social, and communicative nature of Plato's philosophy. Finally, these principles are deployed to determine the order of the dialogues—by tracing the "pedagogical progression of ideas," which is structured by two series: ethics and physics, of which the Republic and the Timaeus are the culmination. This gave rise to one of the most controversial of Schleiermacher's views: the early dating of the Phaedrus, which contained the seeds of all Platonic doctrines. Though the consensus today largely rejects the early dating, struggling with the difficulties of the Phaedrus was instrumental to Schleiermacher's entire approach and provided clues to the interpretation of the canon. How to read a dialogue was suggested by the image of a logos as a living body, the impulse to philosophy was specified as eros, the method by dialectic, and the ultimate purpose is the kind of communication that brings the student to knowledge, namely, the form of dialogue (whether written or spoken). The suspicion of writing was taken to support Schleiermacher's claim that dialogical form was the essential medium for written texts, offering a model of "truly living instruction." After arguing that these principles shaped a new form of Platonism, the second part of the book turns to how Plato informed Schleiermacher's own work. Lamm takes the Christmas Dialogue first, showing how it manifests the "impulse and method" of philosophy, with "joy" replacing eros as impulse and living, reciprocal, conversation as the method to be celebrated. The Platonic influences are found in formal features, most notably in the overall structure of the Dialogue, which mirrors Schleiermacher's interpretation of the structure of Plato's corpus. Analysis of the second edition of Speeches on Religion (1806) shows how central topics, such as being and existence, opinions versus knowledge, and the association of knowing and acting, were informed by Schleiermacher's decade of engagement with Plato, which motivated fundamental changes to his main argument about "the essence of religion." The Sophist is central: Both the notion of being as generative [End Page 822] and the understanding of...

Hand Sign Language Detection Using Machine Learning

Hearing loss affects millions of people all over the world. This big number highlights the significance of developing a sign language recognition system that converts sign language to text so that it may be understood without the use of a translation. Based on Sign Language, the CNN Algorithm is proposed. Sign Language is a kind of communication in which we use hand movements and gestures to communicate with persons who are mostly deaf and dumb.

C-Lop: Accurate contention-based modeling of MPI concurrent communication

MPI communication optimization is a crucial stage to optimize high-performance applications. As a formal analysis of MPI communication, the communication performance models have made some achievements in improving the efficiency of collective algorithms and optimizing communication scheduling. However, previous models are difficult to model asynchronous concurrent communication and do not take into account numerous contention factors. In this paper, we present C-Lop, an incremental MPI performance model based on τ-Lop. Firstly, C-Lop proposes a method for asynchronous modeling of concurrent communication. As the only model that considers concurrent transmission, τ-Lop describes the cost of the all processes as a whole without distinguishing the cost of each process. Here, C-Lop uses the idea of asynchronous modeling that describe the cost of the system by averaging the communication cost per process. It can describe the communication cost for some systems with out-of-sync communication more accurately. Moreover, C-Lop introduces the parameter C to represent the contention, and considers the contention of concurrent transmissions on network-on-chip, data reuse, and contention of noncommunication processes to make a more accuracy estimation. Furthermore, parameter C can be customized to fit more application scenarios. In addition, we evaluate several common collective algorithms, a matrix multiplication algorithm (SUMMA), and two kinds of communication in a three-dimensional multi-grid application on the Tianhe-3 prototype, and results show that C-Lop outperforms the competition.

Толерантность как принцип современного демократического государства

In modern society, tolerance is increasingly important precisely in a democratic state, where its use in various kinds of communications is a necessary element for the establishment of civilized principles of interaction, one of the tools for overcoming conflicts arising in society, nationalist and other extremist manifestations.

Psychological analysis of information materials in judicial and extrajudicial practice

The article is devoted to the methodological issues of the analysis of information materials within the framework of psychological forensic expertise and psychological humanitarian expertise. Authorship and publication of information materials can be viewed as a kind of communication between their creator and consumers. In both types of expertise, currently the material is analyzed mainly from the standpoint of one of the parties to communication, which is partly due to objective circumstances. However, this makes it difficult to develop criteria for expert analysis necessary for reasoned answers to the questions posed to the expert examination. Problem has been resolved in relation to the psychological forensic expertise, but remains acute in relation to the humanitarian expertise. Analysis of the characteristics of perception and understanding of the information product by the consumer can help to resolve the indicated problem.

The parasites of language

Abstract This article examines how “parasitical” political language can help explore a new understanding of oppositional opinions in a global context of political polarization. By parasitical political language, I refer to what speech act theorist J.L. Austin calls “infelicitous speech acts”, language that is used unsuccessfully. Jacques Derrida argues that these “incorrect” utterances can escape from an already determined context and extend to a more liberated kind of communication. To explore the potentially “positive” effect of parasitical language, this article examines the utterances of Hong Kong protesters prior to the 2020 US elections as infelicitous speech acts. Their radical political approach, surprisingly, spawned an anti-globalist activist subculture shared by protesters in other parts of the world.

Inscription and Intergenerational Connection in Arthur Ransome’s Lakeland Novels

Jacqueline Rose’s influential notion of the “impossibility” of children’s literature rests on the claim that such works “frame” the child and place the adult “first”. Although Ransome’s writings undoubtedly contain instances of such divisions and hierarchies, this article argues that they also explore various kinds of communication and connection. In particular, the Lakeland novels which are the focus here—Swallows and Amazons (1930/2012), Swallowdale (1931/1968), Winter Holiday (1933/2013), Pigeon Post (1936/2013) and The Picts and the Martyrs (1943/1993)—make frequent mention of literary works but also display an intense interest in messages which are written on paper but also cut into surfaces such as wood and stone. These inscriptions challenge generational hierarchies in that they establish a means for different individuals to communicate the experience of being in the same place, albeit at different times. Yet as well as conveying the excitements of discovery and exploring the consolations which can follow recognitions of belatedness, this article also argues that Ransome’s Lakeland novels acknowledge and seek to manage the losses experienced by each generation.

Design of multi-layered building structures using BIM method

Today BIM is an inevitable concept in construction design and while the workflow of consultant designers is mostly influenced to a small extent, new methods require a new kind of communication between them. This research focuses on the workflows of construction designers because their design works have a big impact on many other disciplines. This paper presents an examination about the processing methods of the building structure designers and the use of BIM with a questionnaire survey. In this research, a new way was also introduced to integrate definitions of multi-layered structures (created by construction designers) into the BIM/CAD model itself. The goal was to allow the data in the layer structure documents to be automatically linked to the model, and make it possible for all collaborators to continue working with the data separately. This paper proofs that this automated workflow greatly increases efficiency, accuracy and reduces human errors. ArchiCAD and Excel were used as our development framework: former one to create CAD/BIM models, latter one to handle the database of multi-layered structures. Individual codes were used to identify each unit of the layer structure and link them to the model itself. This way, it is not necessary to manually add the data to the elements, but the material properties can be read automatically into the model and the quantities can be measured. Similar scale, size, and complexity buildings were selected as a test environment where the ordinary and the new method were used in parallel throughout the design process. This provided a good comparison and demonstrated the effectiveness of database-based design. With the new approach, time required for first-round quantification was reduced by 41% and the time of a repeated quantification due to modifications was reduced by 56%, in average.

Towards a Modern ISGA Institute Infrastructure Based on Fortinet SD-WAN Technology: Recommendations and Best Practices

Network infrastructures have not ceased to develop over time, and this is justified by the appearance of new kinds of communication, such as (augmented reality, telemedicine, video on demand), the ceaseless need for bandwidth and the demand for better quality of service. SD-WAN is one of the innovations brought to the telecommunications sector, thus offering good exploitation of the company's network resources in order to guarantee quality transfer. However, modern networks are experiencing an increase in terms of sites to be connected and an evolution in terms of the need for exchange security, encrypted VPN technology is the most opted solution. The Automatic tunneling VPN allows connecting an important number of sites in a flexible way, dynamically and automatically. Better managing exchanges through these multiple tunnels was a major challenge for the engineers. SD-WAN offers itself as the best solution to meet this requirement. To better design and implement its network architecture based on SD-WAN and automatic VPN, it is necessary to take in consideration the good practices of engineering. Optimizing and evaluating the performance of its architecture can extend the life of the infrastructure and ensure quality traffic delivery. In order to upgrade the network infrastructure of our institute and contribute to its evolution, this paper presents the proposed architecture with an evaluation of the performance of the transported traffic. The study is based on the simulation of an infrastructure based on the Fortigate firewall.

Muzyka jako spotkanie

Music as an Encounter What is music? One of the possible answers for this question is that music establishes a specific form of communication, which finally occurs to mean an encounter. How has this conclusion been created and how to justify it? It all comes from the interdisciplinary encounter of different perspectives of academic research. Setting in a relation, and so referring to each other, sociological and phenomenological methods result in discovering music (musical language and style, piece of music, musical thought and process) that is an effect and means of social communication. When providing this statement with deeper insight, one comes to the conclusion that every social communication has an encounter as its basis. Whereas so called 'philosophy of encounter', or 'of dialogue', which grows from the phenomenological radices makes it clear that it is an encounter of the two persons: a dialogue between 'I' and 'You'. The groundwork of this musical drama, like of a drama of any other kind of communication, is the reciprocity that establishes a specific relation. Alfred Schütz called it: 'relation of mutual tuning'. It is a tuning of thoughts and wills of participants of the encounter. This supplies the relation with an almost alchemical power of metamorphosis, making it possible to transform 'I' and 'You' into 'We'. And so it makes a harmony. Conclusions from new academic disciplines remain therefore close to the old knowledge – for Boethius already saw music as harmony. What is music? There are as many answers as perspectives. How to reach the truth then? There is a need for a meeting (sic!).

Strategies for improving communication between coaches and parents – a case study: Romania vs. UK

In the game of football, maybe more than in any other sport, the coach-parent relationship is not always positive. There are quite a few situations when it even becomes toxic, which unfortunately mainly affects the player. The psychological impact on the development of children who play football can be decisively influenced by the coach-athlete-parent triad. If the relationship between adults is not appropriate, then the triangle will be oriented with the tip (specifically, the child) down, which is undesirable in a high-level activity. Not infrequently, taking into account the negative perceptions that the two parties have of each other, they try to avoid any kind of communication or interaction. However, our experience in the field and the literature review prove otherwise. In this paper, we want to highlight the extremely important role that communication can play in solving all existing problems between coaches and parents, and through the comparative analysis between the United Kingdom (UK) and Romania, we will try to see whether there are similarities and differences in addressing this issue. The responses to the questionnaire applied to coaches from the two countries mentioned above can establish new strategic directions for solving problems with the help of communication.

Hajj stairs in Masood Mohammed's letters (study in persuasion)

Abstract: Due to the importance of argumentation theory in modern linguistics we considered researching in vertical pacific direction to compositional mechanisms of argument in the letters of thinker (Massoud Mohammed). In order to monitor the mechanisms of pilgrims, energies providedby these mechanisms, according to the vertical level(Piligrims peace). Argument, as a way of communicating, aim to groom, convinceand influence are based on a communicational linguistic structure between the addresser and the recipient. And it dependes mainly on the authors letters on the argument that is intended to convince by using the piligrim stairs. The letter is a kind of communication, and pilgrims that address different types of recipints and seek reform and change concepts, there is no doubt about its linguistic stracture based on pilgrims.

Pandemijos retorika: argumentavimo strategijos socialinio tinklo „Facebook“ komentaruose

An analysis of the public COVID-19 discourse reveals how the public responds to the crisis and what kind of communication is actualized during a pandemic. The object of this research is the argumentation strategies in the comments of the articles about coronavirus on social media “Facebook”. The aim of the research is to expand the argumentative level of discourse: to analyze rhetorical and eristic arguments. The comments were collected from the accounts of the most popular Lithuanian news portals on “Facebook” (alfa.lt, Delfi, 15min, lrytas.lt). The analyzed comments were published during the first and second pandemic waves (from March 2020 to January 2021). The research material was analyzed by means of the rhetorical discourse analysis method to isolate and define the categories of rhetoric characteristic to rhetorical appeals models. The chosen method of rhetorical analysis was combined with content analysis. During the research, the respective rhetorical categories of the researched phenomenon were identified and classified, and the content of these categories was expanded – a rhetorical content analysis was performed. The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented situation in which the rhetorical analysis of the communication element is a whole new area of research. The identified dominant models of rhetorical and eristic reasoning not only reveal the regularities of media “consumption” but also help to understand the tendencies of choosing communication strategies in critical situations.
