Visual communication analysis the effect of signs and colors on traffic safety in Jakarta

About 90% of the information needed for driving is received visually by the driver. Only a little information is received with hearing (horns and shock markers) and a sense of touch (tactile markers and rough roads). Most of the information they get is visual. The two most common equipment used by technicians to give information is signs and markers consisting of signs, colors, and words. Traffic signs are elements defined as a special set of code labels intended for traffic users, which are in a vertical field for traffic areas. It is a basic means of communication between authorities and road users. Standards and guidelines suggest the use of words and color codes that are appropriate for conveying the different intensity of hazards. Red, yellow, and blue indicates a decrease in the intensity of the danger. Likewise, danger, warning, and attention show the danger in decreasing intensity even though some studies find no significant differences in the hazard assessment of warning and attention words. Signs and color codes used in our study are capable of giving meaningful meaning, warning, attention, thinking, and notification. For colors, it will be red, yellow, green, white, blue, green, and orange. We will evaluate perceptions of implied danger and language effects.

Suffering in world religions within paradigm of modern information

Any type of discourse, along with its characteristic concepts, operates with its own values. The basis of religious discourse form universal values providing moral guidelines that represent a standard for people of different cultures and eras, which are associated with the ideals of justice and are timeless. Among the universal are cultural, social and moral values. The bulk of religious values form cultural ones in any modern society. Religious beliefs form inner culture of a person. Some religious values can be referred as social and include: meaningful (meaning of life, happiness), universal (life, health), values of interpersonal communication (benevolence), values of public recognition (hard work), democratic values (freedom of speech). In modern society among religious, social and moral (mercy, compassion) values can be distinguished. Religious values can be found within each subgroup of universal human values. The article interprets phenomenon of suffering in modern society, which is an integral component of any world religion and forms the category of value in Christianity. The analysis of suffering in the article was carried out along with the analysis of religious discourse - a special type of institutional communication that combines features of institutional-oriented and personal-oriented phenomenon. The article shows reasons for the occurrence and existence of suffering in any modern society, as well as approaches that exist in various religious systems (Christianity, Islam and Buddhism) to interpreting suffering, attitude to it, need and possibility to overcome it as well as linguistic means to express phenomenon of suffering in world religions.

Formation of visual comfort of small cities architectural environment

Statement of the problem. The aim of the study is to analyse the basic elements of creating visual comfort in the urban environment in the conditions of the renovation of the existing development of Russian small towns. Results. The main results of the research are the development of the syntactic context of architecture in urban space; the definition of the architectural language as the basis for the formation of compositional characteristics of visual comfort in urban space. Conclusions. The significance of the obtained results lies in the novelty of the approach to the mechanism of updating the architectural environment of cities based on the reform of the visual characteristics of the existing buildings; in the interpretation of architectural forms that reveal the original qualities of urban architecture. The use of the methodological basis of the mechanism of visual renewal of the architectural environment and the formation of urban space as a meaningful context that reveals individual characteristics to the viewer who is in the space of the city. At the same time, the visual-figurative context of the architectural environment of cities acquires a meaningful meaning, which allows us to comprehensively consider the process of renovation of existing buildings, including the tool for visual-spatial construction of architectural solutions.

Concept-Monad Model of Technological Environment of Programming

This paper proposes an extension of the principles of an adaptive programming environment based on the considered intersubject and interpersonal programming paradigms and the use of oracles, concepts, copmozies, and open-loop systems. The purpose of this work is to develop the foundations of an adaptive technological programming environment based on an intersubjective paradigm. In order to achieve the above goal, it is necessary to substantially expand the understanding of programming by introducing certain conceptual and logical structures. Based on such structures, you can lay the foundations for the technological process of programming, when the property of each individual subject of programming will be available to everyone. An oracle open-loop system describing the general scheme of programming is considered. In such a scheme, the active role of the subject is decisive, since the process of creating the program is regarded as determined by the subject. This suggests that the interest-based paradigm defines the programming process as the essence that is determined by the program itself. Conceptualization in the context of the oracle interaction scheme is considered. Oracle structures enrich the conception, form a point of view on the program as a structural activity, and on the concept as an appropriate structure. Conceptualization is defined as the sequence of actions of the subject who creates the program, the concept of which is a composition. Moreover, each stage of such a concept is also a specific concept. There are two types of composites. The first is composites that determine the understanding of a composition as the stages of composites, and the second includes basic composites that determine the active role of the subject in conception. Examples of using reduction to demonstrate the relationship of composition and decomposition in conceptualization. Schemes of concepts for various composite and composite concepts are given. These schemes are also important because they clearly reflect the fact of complementarity between the two poles of conception - synthesis and analysis, composition and decomposition. The meaningful meaning of reduction considered in the paper is that it naturally implements the "divide and conquer" paradigm in understanding the subject's active role in conceptualization. This allows you to depart from the general concept of programming as a subject-specific activity and to lay the foundations for its technologicalization. To this end, among the vast variety of compositions, composites stand out as the basic gene structures. Compared to them, any other composition is formed as a derivative of the consistent use of composites. An effective object programming environment is developed based on the concept of reduction. Adaptation of this environment is made for the standard system of software algebras. This demonstrates the solution of a number of representative numerical analysis problems.

THEORETICAL AND METHODICAL PROBLEMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VALUATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The article summarizes theoretical and methodical problems related to the need to create a logical valuation theory and methodology of intellectual property, identification and valuation of intellectual property rights and its relation to accounting; the problem of methods of valuation of intellectual property rights within their subject characteris considered, as well as identification of the majority of intellectual resources that take part in production and contribute to the improvement of product quality, technological update, innovative orientation of economic processes; the need to strengthen the state policy of carrying out the valuation of intellectual property rights in relation to intangible assets within the objects of intellectual propertyrights (OIPRs) has been considered. The author analyzes the relationship to the value appraisal of OIPRs, which is most often done by using a narrow range of methods (approaches) within the generally recognized: income, cost and market (comparative) approaches, that affects the limitation of the selected methods of valuation, leads to a template use of valuation methodic without a variety of OIPRs that have specific features of their use. Also it is disclosed the meaningful meaning of the development of a single terminology and value classification, whichcan be carried out on the basis of synthesis of foreign experience in the field of valuation and value management, as well as the analysis of valuation standards.The problem became due to the OIPRs conducting of value appraisal of the advanced intellectual capital, that is complicated by the fact that by economic essence it does not belong to the traditional assets of the enterprise and has its own peculiarities. It is urgent to rethink existing standards on valuation and supplement them with new ones in the direction of minimizing fundamental contradictions between the traditional accounting methodology and the valuation of OIPRs, taking into account the peculiarities of the development of the information and intellectual economy. It is methodically detailed by the economic content the techniques used to determine the value of OIPRs, which are divided into three groups: approaches, methods and methodologies, from the point of view of economic content, conditions of application and valuation procedure, as well as requirements for the appraisal of the value of OIPRs in the privatization of state enterprises and organizations. The author considers the problems of organization of training of professional ppraisers in Ukraine taking into account the requirements of State Property Fund of Ukraine and their legal support.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the professional competence of Al-Ihya KuninganUniversity West Java lecturers; implementation of charismatic leadership at Al-Ihya Kuningan University, WestJava, and the influence of charismatic leadership on the professional competence of Al-Ihya Kuningan UniversityWest Java lecturers. The method used is a quantitative research model using simple regression and correlationanalysis. independent variables and one dependent variable that were examined in this study are: (1) charismaticleadership and (2) professional competence. Using saturated sample techniques and the population of lecturersat Al-Ihya Kuningan Islamic University, West Java, which amounted to 93 people. The results showed charismaticleadership had a direct positive effect on professional competence. The more positive charismatic leadership,professional competence tends to increase. The influence of charismatic leadership (X) on professionalcompetence (Y) is shown by the equation of a linear regression line that shows meaningful meaning. From theregression model it can be interpreted that changes in charismatic leadership scores will be followed by changesin scores on professional competence. The results indicate that charismatic leadership is one of the variables thatconstantly and stably contributes to professional competence. Efforts to improve professional competence canbegin with improving charismatic leadership first.Keywords: lecturer, charismatic, leadership, education, professionalism

«Неизмеримая наука», тирания показателей и цифровизация: есть ли повод для наукометрического оптимизма?

The review was prepared on the basis of the materials of the expert section ‘Scientometry 2.0: Digital Restart’, which took place as part of the Gaidar Forum 2020. It is devoted to a discussion of the role of applied scientometrics in assessing the effectiveness of scientists, as well as the prospects and possibilities of digitalization of science. The ‘tyranny of indicators’ and the crisis of confidence among the academic community in any formal assessment of their activities is one of the most important trends in the field of scientific administration in recent years. The object of public criticism is applied scientometrics as a tool for this assessment. During the discussion, experts made a number of significant comments regarding the widespread use of applied scientometrics. First, scientometric awareness needs to be formed. Scientometrics can be useful for both researchers and organizations. Scientometric literacy needs to be educated. It is such an approach for the future that can be an important step towards overcoming the systemic crisis in assessing scientific activity. Secondly, the scientometric assessment should be supported by expert assessment. If the first formalizes the assessment process and makes the management system more transparent, the second fills it with meaningful meaning. Thirdly, the digital transformation in the management of scientific activity at the moment is not able to remove the contradiction that has arisen. Moreover, as follows from the expert’s speech, neither the scientific community, nor the scientific management system itself, is yet ready for digital transformation.

Discourse 8-D Thinking as the Object of Research and Training

The article rooted in the tradition of Discourse Linguistics deals with the 8-dimension model of discourse organization and production discussed with reference to three key sources: (1) the Tartu Semiotic School with its focus on the notion of semiosphere (Yuri Lotman) as a ground for revealing the semiosis of communicative signs in functioning; (2) the Causal-Genetic Approach to discourse modelling (Irina Oukhvanova / Oukhvanova-Shmygova) as a ground for reconstructing and classifying the causes of the inherent discourse elements production open to become constructive elements of discourse on micro, meso, and macrolevels of its functioning, and (3) the approach to discourse organization built in the field of Discourse Linguistics / la linguistique du discours (Dominique Maingueneau) as a ground for linguistic approaches to discourse analysis. All three approaches being unique but overlapping and open to integration can work as a holistic ground for a joint theoretical model to be applied as a tool for collecting and organizing qualitative data for multipurpose discourse research and for training researchers to forming skills of processing qualitative data. The author visualises such a model by finding its own meaningful space and functional meaning for each of 8 inherent elements of discourse no matter which representations it takes. It makes the elements categorised as discourse atomic characteristics, and the model as a translevelled classification of discourse elements. The article also suggests a discussion on educational research discourse and within its framework training young researchers to visualise and interpret some of the atomic characteristics of discourse for applying them in production of academic and professional types of discourses.

ПІЗНАВАЛЬНИЙ, РОЗВИВАЛЬНИЙ І ВИХОВНИЙ АСПЕКТИ НАРОДНОГО МИСТЕЦТВА ЯК СКЛАДОВІ МОДЕРУВАННЯ СУЧАСНОЇ МИСТЕЦЬКОЇ ОСВІТИ

The leading line of materials presented in the article is vectorized to reveal and substantiate the coexistence and synthesis of modern and traditional, innovative and enduring, integrated and substantive as actual, conceptual and inalienable concepts in the discourse on the globalization processes taking place in the present world, in particular on the concepts of transition of all mankind to a fundamentally new post-industrial civilization in general and the planetary society in particular.In the specified way, under a particular angle of view and aspects of scientific vision, the essential and functional contexts of folk art as a special field of cultural and creative progress of Ukrainians are highlighted. Through the prism of the analysis of its cognitive, developmental and educational potentials, their place and role in the field of the formation of erudite, competent, versatile personality capable of penetrating into the modern society, to meet its demands, interests and norms of the present dynamic life is determined. Putting the subject of research into the rank of actual and effective components of moderation of modern artistic education, the author argues that moving forward, opening the new, giving preference to a modern, innovative, globalized modelling of the content and forms of the present life, should not neglect the achievements of the past, the traditions generated by him and customs of material, spiritual, general cultural nature, since without them the present and future loses its meaningful meaning. In the justification, the above emphasis is placed on the fact that the development of students as young generations, on the true bases of domestic art, must necessarily include the study of “folk” branch. It is about understanding of one’s national background, knowledge of the origins, ways of development and general features of artistic creation of folk artists, penetration of the principles of perception of the world, ideas and concepts of artistic expression of the real and the imaginary. All this is so significant that without that, even the simplest algorithm for the acquisition of artistic education will be destroyed and the process of learning, upbringing and development in this area will become unproductive. It follows that these vectors and the content of artistic and aesthetic education, based on the idea of the revival of national culture, artistic traditions, achievements, are indisputably popular, relevant and extremely important and significant both for the younger generations in particular and for society as a whole.

Engaging in personally meaningful activities is associated with meaning salience and psychological well-being

ABSTRACT Engagement in personally meaningful activities is associated with greater well-being. However, most studies use cross-sectional or recall methods, and the researchers pre-determine which activities are ‘meaningful.’ This study examined an idiographic measure of meaningful activity participation in relation to well-being. Participants (N = 160; M age = 43.3 years; 77% female) rated the meaningfulness of 46 daily activities at baseline and reported their activities on eight random days over the next 4 weeks. Half the participants also completed measures of meaning salience and mood on the same days. All participants reported on psychological well-being at baseline and 4-week follow-up. Meaningful activity participation was positively associated with meaning salience and positive mood. Average engagement in meaningful activities over 8 days was positively associated with subjective vitality, life satisfaction, and purpose in life at follow-up. An idiographic measure of meaningful activity participation may further be understanding of the relationship between meaningful activity participation and well-being.

KODE MALAIKAT DALAM NOVEL “NAIB IZRAIL” DAN “KAU MEMANGGILKU MALAIKAT”: SEBUAH BANDINGAN

This paper aims to compare “Malaikat” representations in the novel "Naib Izrail" (NI) by Yusuf As-Siba'i and "Kau Memanggilku Malaikat" (KMM) by Arswendo Atmowiloto. To parse the representation, this research uses a descriptive-interpretative method with Roland Barthes's five-code theory. Barthes's narrative theory is a theory that is close to the tradition of post-structuralism that is a theory that does not have an orientation towards a single meaning but instead aims to bring up a plurality of meanings. The results of this study show that there are manifestations of five codes from angelic representations in both novels. In addition, reading the representation of angels with the theory of five codes also shows a more meaningful meaning, namely by presenting a plurality of meanings by accommodating various dimensions in narrative analysis.

A Discourse Analysis: Cohesion of the Introduction Section of Research Article

<em>As an effort to give contribution to the existing knowledge, it is expected for the undergraduate students to compose an engaging research article in order to convince the readers about the importance of the research article. However, there is only a little attention given to the articles written by the undergraduate students although it is considered very critical to examine whether the exposure of English academic writing has significantly enhances the writing competence of the students. Furthermore, as it is also very crucial to build a meaningful semantic meaning among the sentences in order to disclose the worthiness of the research article, it is essential to analyze the cohesion of the research article written by the undergraduate students. Henceforth, the present research is projected to investigate the cohesion of the research articles written by the undergraduate students of English Language Teaching. As the introduction section of research article is likely to be an area to portray the logical explanation of the research, the present research solely focuses on examining the cohesion of the introduction section of research article. By adopting a qualitative design and involving several steps to analyze the introduction section, it is revealed that the grammatical cohesion is considered to be the most utilized type of cohesion in writing the introduction section. Still, the lexical cohesion is also necessary to build an eloquent semantic meaning about the topic as well the importance of the research article.</em>

On the Boundary Conditions in a Non-Linear Dissipative Observer for Tubular Reactors

The modal injection mechanism ensures the exponential convergence of an observer in a continuous tubular reactor in dependence with the system parameters, the sensor location, and the observer gains. In this paper, it is shown that by simple considerations in the boundary conditions, the observer convergence is improved regardless of the presence of perturbations, the sensor locations acquire a meaningful physical meaning, and by simple numerical manipulations, the perturbations in the inflow can be numerically estimated.

Reframing Trauma: The Transformative Power of Meaning in Life, Work, and Community

Each year more than 700,000 people leave prison having undergone a traumatic experience. While research about the prevalence of post-traumatic stress is emerging, many returning citizens will exit the institution undiagnosed and untreated. Many inmates learn to mask their emotions and internalize their symptoms to navigate prison. Once released, they will return to society and struggle to find work, a sense of worth, pro-social identity, and place in their community. Work plays a crucial role in our sense of self, identity, and the role we play in society. In this constant comparative study, 20 formerly incarcerated staff and volunteers at faith-based or community re-entry agencies shared their lived experience of how they were able to reframe their traumatic experience by transforming into helpers and wounded-healers assisting other returning citizens. Through their agency community and work, participants found meaningful work and meaning in life. Participants felt the culture of these agencies offered a humanizing experience, empathy, and sense of belonging enabling them to create a new narrative as good and different people, and shedding labels. As staff and volunteers undergo self-change, the ex-offender label is shed, and a wounded-healer emerges. Understanding the perceptions of returning citizens who work in helping roles provides insight into addressing the psychological challenges for this population and implications for reentry.

A Study of Meaningful Work, Hope and Meaning in Life in Young Professional Artists

Meaningful work is an existential concept which got acceptance in psychology. Wrzesniewski and Dutton (2001) defined meaningful work as individual understands purpose of their work or what they believe is achieved in the work. Meaningful work is a part of self-identity proved to be very effective in pleasant and meaningful life. Hope has been the word for anticipation in layperson's language and understanding. Snyder (2005) have specifically defined hope as a positive motivational state that is based on an interactively derived sense of successful (1) agency (goal directed energy) and (2) pathways (planning to meet goals) (Snyder et al., 1996). Hope is nowapartofthe Psychological Capital and proved to be quite instrumental in maintaining mental health and effective performance at workplace and other facets of life. Meaning in has been the topic of research enquiry in existential psychology. With the emergence of psychology and applied research this variable gained a lot of popularity in different fields of psychology. Meaning in can be defined as coherence in one's life (Battista & Almond, 1973; Reker & Wong, 1988). It is also perceived as goal directedness and having purpose in life. An absence of these three states has shown very grave effects on mental health and longevity. The current study investigated the correlation of these three variables and predictive capacity of meaningful work and hopes in meaning in amongst young and unmarried profes sional artists.Review ofliteratureTwo studies done by Sieger and Dik (2009) assessed whether finding meaning on one level satisfies people's search for meaning at another level. After doing the analysis of study 1, they found that there was a significant interaction - such that people seeking global-level meaning in reported greater well-being and self-efficacy in choosing a career if they experienced domain level meaning in their respective careers. Study number 2 used both calling-focused and traditional career workshops in an effort to experimentally induce a sense of domain-level meaning in careers. After analyzing the results of these two studies it can be inferred that people who seek global-level meaning in are, indeed, satisfied by experiencing meaning in their careers. In a study conducted by Zika and Chamberlain (1992) on the relation between psychological well-being and meaning in life, a strong association was found between the two. The findings have been the same in two different samples. Meaning in is found to have a stronger association with well-being than with negative well-being. Feldman and Snyder (2005) conducted a study, offering evidence that hope is a component common to all theories of meaning. Tests of meaning, hope, anxiety, depression were administered and factor analysis revealed that hope is a component of meaning. In regression analysis, when hope is controlled statistically, then it is found to weaken the relationship between meaning and both depression and anxiety. When meaning is controlled in a similar fashion the correlation between hope with the other two variables is weakened. Halama and Dedova (2007), conducted a study questioning whether meaning in and hope can explain unique variance of mental health which is not predicted by personality traits. The correlation analysis showed that personality traits, meaning in and hope have significant correlations with mental health variables. The regression analysis showed that meaning in is a predictor of both satisfaction and self -esteem. It was also found that hope is an independent predictor of self esteem.Aims and objective ofthe studyThe aim of the study was to investigate the correlation amongst meaningful work, hope, and meaning in and meaningful work and hope as predictors of presence of meaning in among young professional artists. …

Small Talk

Words matter. Actions matter. The same word, the same action can sometimes mean something quite similar to author and reader, yet at other times something very different from writer to reader and reader to reader, and yet still carry meaningful meaning. At the outset, I write for myself, to help let go of, enjoy, work through, understand, save a thought, an experience, a gesture, an encounter... When I decide to share my writing formally, it is because I feel I have reached a corpus that will be meaningful to others, that it can stand alone without me. Most of my writing is a reflection of real experience, either a short interact between several people or a reflection on life in feelings or thoughts. This piece was submitted to the European Journal of Life Writing on July 10th 2015, and published on February 21st 2016.

Relationships between Meaningful Activity, Basic Psychological Needs, and Meaning in Life: Test of the Meaningful Activity and Life Meaning Model

The author of this study proposed and examined a theoretical model in which meaningful activity fulfills basic psychological needs and contributes to meaning in life. Hypotheses derived from the Meaningful Activity and Life Meaning model and tested within this study included: (1) meaningful activity will be associated with meaning in life, (2) meaningful activity will be associated with basic psychological needs, and (3) basic psychological needs will partially mediate the relationship between meaningful activity and meaning in life. Structural equation modeling with latent variables was used to test the study hypotheses. A total of 591 undergraduate and graduate students completed the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey, the Basic Psychological Needs Scales (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness), and the Presence subscale of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire. Results from the study were in full support of each hypothesis and indicate the important role meaningful activity may serve in fostering meaning in life.

Putting Architecture in its Social Place: A Cultural Political Economy of Architecture

As well as being shaped by bureaucratically codified state regulations, architecture is also fundamentally conditioned by the broader political-economic context in which it is commissioned, designed and understood. However, drawing attention to these noncodified regulations can be controversial, as it necessitates questioning the complex social production of architecture, in the process challenging those discourses that position architecture as a practice concerned primarily with the design of socially meaningful form and meaning. Such discourses have been problematised elsewhere and, building on these contributions, this paper suggests a framework for taking seriously architecture’s distinctive relationship with aesthetics and semiotics while also maintaining a sense of architects’ position as a cultural élite working in definite political-economic contexts. Drawing primarily on theories associated with Pierre Bourdieu and cultural political economy, the paper uses the case of iconic architecture to illustrate this argument. The central role of architecture in recent place-marketing strategies is understood as a resonance between the agendas of high-profile architects and those political and economic agencies ‘selling places’. The role of architecture in providing a culturalised frame within which economic transformation is embedded is a crucial consideration here. In short, this paper suggests the necessity of a non-reductionist, political-economic foundation to the regulation and built environment research agenda.

Intersubjective meeting in holistic caring: a Swedish perspective.

Intersubjectivity is a central notion in nursing which describes the important relationship between nurse and patient. The aim of this article is to analyze the concept of intersubjective meeting and to examine its meaning in light of selected works by nursing and nonnursing authors who have addressed the phenomenon. Intersubjective meeting is posited here as a true and meaningful confirming dialogue. Thus, three elements of this construct will be adduced for further elaboration: a true and meaningful meaning, a confirming meeting, and the meeting as dialogue. For caregivers to engage in such an intersubjective meeting, they must exercise knowledge of self and have access to care for the caregiver.
