Character education is one of the most important things that young children should get as 80% of their brain development occurs during that time. A lack of respect and regard for others might be influenced by the absence of character education in early life. One of the key institutions in helping kids develop their character is their school, and instructors there have a significant influence on how kids behave. The purpose of this study is to explain how a daily activity program that uses magic words to develop polite character is implemented. This study employs a case study methodology and a qualitative research strategy. Interviews and observation were the research methods employed in this study. According to the study's findings, kids are becoming more aware of the usage of "magic words" (sorry, please, thank you, and excuse me) and their conduct is changing as a result. After executing the daily activity program that uses magic words in the construction of polite character, children who had not previously understood the value of utilizing them in everyday life to create polite character now understand it better and are able to use it in their daily lives.

IMPLEMENTATION OF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING METHODS ON THE ABILITY TO USE THREE MAGIC WORDS IN EARLY AGE CHILDREN IN GROUP B2 PARENTAS KAHARAP PALANGKA RAYA ACADEMIC YEAR 2023/2024

Character education acts as a pillar and strength of a nation in its virtuous character. One way to build character in early childhood is to get children used to saying simple words such as sorry, please and thank you. Three Magic Word is a combination of three simple words but has very important meaning for children. Early childhood is very important to teach. Teaching the Three Magic Words (Sorry, Please and Thank You) can educate children to be better able to know themselves by realizing that every living creature has limitations in its abilities and therefore requires help from other people (the meaning of the words sorry and please). The emergence of awareness in appreciating and respecting other people, and being able to accept the good and bad things in life with grace and being able to understand that everything has great meaning and needs to be grateful for (the meaning of the word thank you). The classical conditioning method was developed by Ivan Pavlov. Classical conditioning refers to a number of training procedures in which one stimulus or stimuli appears to replace another stimulus in developing a response, that these procedures are called classical because of their historical priority. Pavlov stated that the stimulus needs to be repeated repeatedly so that it can be called habituation. This research is quantitative research using experimental methods. The data analysis technique in this research uses a difference test (t-test). The results of this research show that the implementation of the Classical Conditioning habituation method can develop the ability to use the Three Magic Words in early childhood in the B2 group of Kindergarten Parentas Kaharap Palangka Raya.

Well-Tempered Power: ‘A Cultural Achievement of Universal Significance’

According to Laurent Pech, the rule of law was described as a “‘buzzword’ by [Hungary’s] justice minister; a fiction by a Fidesz MP; and a ‘magic word’ by the Fidesz-KDNP Delegation to the European Parliament. Not to be undone, a judge from Hungary’s (captured) constitutional court, has presented the rule of law ‘as a normative yardstick’ which is little more than an empty nineteenth century ideal and a political joker [sic] for all purposes” (Pech, Hague J Rule Law 14(2–3): 107-138, 2022 128). In contrast, the English historian, E.P. Thompson, notoriously and controversially called the rule of law ‘a cultural achievement of universal significance.’ With small amendments, I agree with Thompson. Each word in that phrase, I seek to demonstrate, deserves emphasis and respect. However, it makes a huge difference what one takes the rule of law to be about. What is universal is the notion and realisation of a state of affairs in which power is reliably tempered so as not to be available for arbitrary abuse. It is that which is a cultural achievement of universal significance. It is a mistake to identify it, as so many do, with any allegedly canonical arrangement of forms and institutions and rules that are enlisted or assumed to embody it. Many people make that mistake. Some do so, because they naively think that installation of familiar institutions they associate with ‘the rule of law’ is the same as generating the ideal itself. The disappointing history of rule of law promotion around the world shows that is not the case. On the other hand, modern illiberal, often populist, regimes are happy to endorse such a mistake and pretend that they are committed to the rule of law by making a show of conformity to legal forms, while systematically subverting and abusing the rule of law itself. Both the naïve and the malicious interpretations should be rejected.

The Magic Word? Face-Work and the Functions of Please in Everyday Requests

Expressions of politeness such as please are prominent elements of interactional conduct that are explicitly targeted in early socialization and are subject to cultural expectations around socially desirable behavior. Yet their specific interactional functions remain poorly understood. Using conversation analysis supplemented with systematic coding, this study investigates when and where interactants use please in everyday requests. We find that please is rare, occurring in only 7 percent of request attempts. Interactants use please to manage face-threats when a request is ill fitted to its immediate interactional context. Within this, we identify two environments in which please prototypically occurs. First, please is used when the requestee has demonstrated unwillingness to comply. Second, please is used when the request is intrusive due to its incompatibility with the requestee’s engagement in a competing action trajectory. Our findings advance research on politeness and extend Goffman’s theory of face-work, with particular salience for scholarship on request behavior.

A pioneer Turkish urologist-medical historian (Saim Erkun 1901-1949) and his one-century-old review about prostate.

Saim Erkun (1901-1949) was born in Manisa at Aegean region of Anatolia as an Ottoman citizen. While his early life was spent in late Ottoman times at military actions including military prison camp in British colony; India, his active professional productive period was in early Turkish republic period (Est. 1923, centenary). He had a good education period for medicine with the help of his good level of all main World scientific languages such as French, German, and English. Besides his main profession, he was also interested in Ottoman urological medicine around the conquer of Istanbul and allocated them a space in his books in 1930s. He was one of the earliest urology resident (1929-1933, Istanbul) of modern medicine in Turkey. He performed many urological procedures and published the outcomes following modern scientific algorithms, furthermore, there have been urological books including "history" partly referring to antique Ottoman literature among his publications. In this manuscript we focused on the magic word of Urology forever; "Prostate," among his essays. Turkish medicine, particularly urology, renewed itself by some intelligent hard working young clinicians such as Saim Erkun, immediately after the short struggling by means of establishment process of modern Turkiye after World War I by the collapsing of old Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, we think that the stunning special word of urology, "prostate," should especially be mentioned to emphasize the importance of this beginning.

Assessing quality in extrusion based additive manufacturing technologies

Quality is a magic word that has fascinated the people since the early days of civilization and today, quality is the only mantra to survive. Quality is the only relevant attribute associated with product and processes that makes any technology in-demand. The quality of the parts produced by Additive Manufacturing (AM) Technologies depends on many factors, like print speed, nozzle temperature etc. The aim of this work is the identification of influence factors that affect the performance measures of extrusion based Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, namely, Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). These processes can be characterized by a set of influence factors, like print speed, infill density, temperature; layer thickness and build orientation are responsible for quality of the product. In this work, Grey relational Analysis (GRA) is employed. GRA is a method which enables determination of the relational degree of every factor in the system. The method can be used for systems that are not completely described and with relatively few available data. Reliable technique of optimization GRA is clubbed with another established technique; called Interrelation ship Diagram (ID), to identify and optimize the influence factors, that yields highest performance characteristics. Manufacturing Combinations are evaluated against performance measures. In the earlier research, the authors have applied same tool, GRA clubbed with 7QC tools, to evaluate extrinsic and intrinsic qualities of the parts produced by FDM, In this research, the entire focus is paid to the intrinsic properties of the parts produced by FDM. This research will have a greater impact on the quality of the parts produced by the FDM.

Educational Paradigms of Communication of the 21st Century: Educational Challenges for the Specialists of the Future

Language has always been the most powerful and versatile means of communication. Then the pictures painted in caves by primitive people gave us much more detail about their lives and their habits. If we move through time the ability to represent and communicate in others' language has been enriched. We have moved to moving images and transmitted images. Since its inception, cinema has become a global entertainment. Unlike television, cinema has always introduced audiences into a virtual space. Cinema creates emotions with an extraordinary power to polarize audiences. Each of us has at least one film to which we owe this involvement, for example, mine was "Blade Runner." Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, Metaverse The metaverse is a new adventure that we have thanks to a huge amount of hardware and software technologies; for example, VR, AI, and AR have generated ever larger and more detailed spaces, think of the movie Matrix. The Metaverse is Ali Baba's new cave: all the riches are there, but you need the magic word. We are now on the threshold of a new transition. The Metaverse is a space populated by many suitors, none of whom have the dowry to claim the princess as their bride. I belong to one group of suitors. Looking back to some visionary writers we have a shining example of the metaverse: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book was published before the invention of cinema. Alice in Wonderland is a "metaverse" described by Luis Carrol, a famous Oxford scientist. Alice goes in and out of a paradoxical world, a world populated by characters who do not follow the natural rules to which we are accustomed. Language, however, is still the most versatile, and that is where we must start if we are to understand the new paradigms of communication.

Form of Magic Words in The Process of Language Acquisition for Children Aged 2-4 Years

This research aims to describe the early childhood language acquisition process at KB Aisyiyah 1 Balun, Cepu District, Blora Regency. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Two research subjects were taken in each group, so there were six research subjects. The data collection method used several techniques, namely observation, listening, recording, and note-taking. The research results show that children can achieve language competence at the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics levels. Language acquisition results in phonology show that the phonemes /r//l/ sound faint. Phoneme decay is the melting of phonemes due to morphological processes. The /l/ phoneme decays when the/y/phoneme's sound changes to the /l/ phoneme. The results of language processing in the field of morphology are that children aged two years have just mastered the basic morphemes that are pronounced even though the pronunciation is not yet clear. Meanwhile, many sulfides (- kan ) are found in children aged four years. Early childhood language acquisition in the area of syntax identified phrase errors, children's composition of first language sentences was mixed up, and sentence structures were adequate, although sometimes grammatically, sometimes inverted. Meanwhile, language acquisition at the semantic level tends to use denotative Meaning in every utterance.

The semiotics of silence; or, how differently it was interpreted by Mallarmé and Mandelstam

The article discusses the category of silence and its unique realization in the works of S. Mallarmé and O. Mandelstam. In their search for a new language of the new era, Romantic poets of Europe, and later the Symbolists, promoted the categories of rhythm, suggestiveness, melodiousness, and silence. E. Dmitrieva analyzes Mallarmé’s essays and poems, including ‘A Throw of the Dice’ (which anticipates the poetics of the late 20th c. with its unusual typographic layout), and the poem’s visual interpretation by O. Redon, who decodes its internal meanings with a cryptogram ‘quiet-silence-death.’ The second part of the article is devoted to Mandelstam’s poetry. According to Dmitrieva, the poet’s reputation as a Russian Mallarmé almost certainly originates in the Western studies of Mandelstam’s oeuvre. In order to substantiate the analogy, his scholars often point out the two poets’ fondness for suggestiveness, the magic of words, and the opportunities offered by their liberal combination, seen as a special form of ‘associative symbolism.’ Dmitrieva follows the progression of this method in Mandelstam’s poetry and examines several verses that reveal distinct affinities with Mallarmé.

Open Sesame! The Magical Words of the World of Meaning of Human Beings: Dialectical Harmony of the Symbolical Forms

Ernst Cassirer made an original contribution to twentieth century philosophy with his genuine series of the Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. Cassirer evaluates the various moments of culture from an integral perspective in this multi-faceted study that covers the symbolic dimension of human communication and interaction with the world. Cassirer's contribution to the philosophical agenda was reinforced by the works An Essay on Man and The Myth of the State, published posthumously. These latter works, however, go beyond mere repetition and summary of Cassirer's thought. Particularly, The Myth of the State is important to confront a problem left open by Cassirer's integral philosophy of culture; the return of myth that consolidates contemporary political thought and action. Cassirer defines culture as the progressive process of human emancipation; analyzes the elements of culture in dialectical harmony, without reducing one to the other. It is doubtful that a metaphysics of culture will eliminate existing problems, but a philosophical framework that will offer an integral view of culture is still a current need. Although Cassirer presents such a framework, it triggers a series of questions waiting to be resolved within itself. In this study, first, the aspects of Cassirer's philosophy of culture that give the opportunity to comprehend the various dimensions of the human beings’ world of meaning will be discussed in detail. Then, it will be tried to describe the depth and limit of the original cultural analysis revealed by this systematic approach to update itself in the face of a historical problem. Within the first half of the twentieth century, totalitarianism, as an experience that completely shook the world of meaning of the West, documented the violence and destruction of the culture's transformation into cult. Thus, the challenge concerning Cassirer's assumption of dialectical harmony of symbolic forms that move culture raises the need for a political horizon. Although The Myth of State has tried to present this necessary complementary horizon of interpretation, it is far from the comprehensive dimension offered by the critical philosophical interventions bolstered mainly by Cassirer’s thought.

Магия слова Оскара Лёрке: в поиске аутентичности художественного высказывания

The research is devoted to the problem of artistic language, in particular, the German-language lyric poetry of the XX century. The object of the study is just one segment of the cultural space, i.e. “magical” nature poetry, which most vividly reflects the process of changing cultural paradigms and artistic orientations. The aim of the study is to identify the features and the moral-aesthetic orientation of the creative work of Oskar Loerke, the founder of magical nature poetry. The research is novel in that it is the first to analyse the artistic language of Loerke’s lyric poetry in the aspect of the author’s artistic activity theory. It is the first time that Loerke’s magical nature poetry is being considered as one of the ways to solve the poet’s creative task, i.e. the search for a new authentic artistic language in the epoch of cultural crisis. The relevance of the poet’s use of the magic word is substantiated, the basic principle of artistic space organisation based on dialogue is revealed. The researcher considers the poet’s belief in the extraordinary power of the word to be the main feature of Loerke’s lyric poetry, which brings his notion of the word closer to magic. However, the poet recognises the independence of the object to which the word is directed, its ability to exist, thus creating a dialogue situation. Dialogue becomes a key principle in the organisation of Loerke’s poetic world. As a result, it has been proved that by turning to the magic of the word, the poet solves the problem of the authenticity of a statement at the level of the organisation of the artistic image, creating the situation of experiencing a creative act – the making of a work.
