Analisis Kesalahan dalam Penggunaan Huruf Kapital dan Tanda Baca pada Teks Karangan Sederhana Siswa Kelas III SDN Banjarsari

This research is motivated by the errors seen when students write capital letters and punctuation marks in a sentence that is made. This research was conducted using a method that is descriptive qualitative, where this method involves direct research, in observing an object under study, which aims to examine errors when using capital letters and punctuation marks in an essay that has been made by students and female students. The data collection from the research results is explained together with the location of the errors and explained in words. In this study, the subjects studied were third grade students of SDN Banjarsari 113 with a total of 32 students and third grade teachers of SDN Banjarsari 113. The research employs documentation, interviews, and observation as methods for collecting data. Data review was carried out by collecting data, data selection process, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the research conducted found several errors in the application of capital letters and punctuation marks. These errors include the writing and placement of capital letters in a sentence, mistakenly placing punctuation marks in a sentence made, and errors in the application of capital letters usually occur in the initial word which is the first sentence, in new sentences, in sentence substitutions, place names and names of people. The cause of these errors is because students still write casually, do not pay attention to the proper application of capital letters and punctuation marks, do not understand the use of capital letters and punctuation marks themselves, and are unfocused or do not pay attention when the teacher explains, then forget the proper writing of capital letters and punctuation marks, so it is wrong when applying them.

Idiomatic ifodalar toponimni o'z ichiga olgan ingliz tilidagi matnni latin o'zbek tiliga tarjima qiling

This thesis deals with the semantic features of toponyms in Italian and English and explores the fascinating world of idiomatic expressions that incorporate toponyms, or place names, within their linguistic makeup. It delves into the rich cultural and historical significance behind these phrases, examining how they often reflect the unique characteristics, traditions, or events associated with specific geographic locations.

Renaming Kyiv’s Streets Amid the Russian War of Invasion: The Politics of History Between “Decommunization” and “Derussification”

The article undertakes a comparative thematic and narrative analysis of the trends in place name change in Kyiv (as published by the Kyiv City State Administration) during two periods: (1) between 2014 and the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022 and (2) between 24 February 2022 and the first anniversary of the Russian invasion in 2023. From 2014 to early 2023, 517 (about 17 percent) of Kyiv’s urbanonyms were changed. It is found that 58 percent of names changed during this entire time span belonged to the “Soviet nostalgic” narrative and 41 percent — to the narrative of the “Russian world”, while 1 percent were non-political. Before 24 February 2022, the “Soviet nostalgic” narrative was affected the most (88 percent of renamings), which reflects the phenomenon of “decommunization”; however, during the full-scale Russian invasion its share fell to 30 percent. In the period after 24 February 2022, the theme of “derussification” clearly dominated, with the share of removed names that represented the “Russian world” narrative increasing from 11 percent (before the full-scale invasion) to 69 percent. The largest proportion of newly minted toponyms in the period from 2014 to 2023 embody the “national Ukrainian” narrative (59 percent), while 35 percent invoke a “non-political” context and 6 percent are internationally-themed. The ongoing urbanonymic change, as analyzed in the article using Kyiv as a case study, has led to a radical transformation of the urban symbolic order in Ukraine. Ukraine is appropriating these spaces, displacing the Russian imperial legacy. The radicalization of this policy is a result of the Russian aggression; however, it reinforces an already existing trend. It is also an act of defiance, doing the opposite of what the aggressor may have planned or would have done, had Kyiv been captured. Thus the sad but stubborn irony is that the attempt to reintegrate Ukraine into the Russian imperial order has produced the exact opposite outcome — a fundamental rejection of the symbols of the “Russian world”.

Pana Władysława opowieść o powstaniu styczniowym. Żmudzkie wątki w tetralogii Stanisława Vincenza „Na wysokiej połoninie“

The article undertakes a topic that is omitted in the studies of the January Uprising in Polish literature. Also in the studies of Vincenz’s works this topic has not been discussed so far. It accounts for the mysterious figure of Mr Władysław – the“guiding spirit” of the fourth volume of the tetralogy Na Wysokiej połoninie [On the High Uplands] – and his story of the January Uprising, which he had experienced in his native Samogitia. The main protagonist of the story is the, arguably fictional, character of Mr Kołaszko, a patriot, a social activist and a friend of the Russians. He does, however, take up arms on the side of the insurgents and even organises his own unit. During one skirmish, he lets a captured Russian go free, and the captive comes back to join the unit along with a few more companions. Fatally wounded in the battle, he resists the hatred towards his enemies. In this way, Mr Władysław’s story becomes an explication of Vincenz’s own ethical programme. He was fascinated by Gandhi and the essential message of the Gospel about loving one’senemies. Mr Władysław himself is an authentic character, but the authenticity ofhis story is difficult to judge. The picture of Samogitia is fragmentary and the place names are not reflected in the topography. It is significant, however, that although almost the entire Vincenz’s tetralogy is set in the Hutsul region, this significant episode is located precisely in the northern borderland. In this way, the author extends certain aspects of his work to the area of the entire former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

ANTROPONIMELE ROMÂNEȘTI. DE LA STRUCTURI SIMPLE LA STRUCTURI COMPLEXE

Anthroponyms, in any area of the world they are found, can only be analysed in the context of the language to which they belong. Onomastics, from our country and elsewhere, has developed, over time, its own laws regarding the formation of the names of places or persons, beyond the laws that act at the level of the lexicon of that language. Moreover, as in the idiom which it belongs to, they also mingled in onomastics, through "cohabitation" (or through connections at a greater or lesser distance) with other idioms, a series of allogeneic elements. However, neither the laws of onomastics, nor the influences from different languages work solely in accordance with the tradition, the typology and the rules of word formation of the idiom it belongs to. In the current paper, it is analysed the manner in which the specificity of our language has left its mark on the internal structure of people's names: it is to be followed how extensive or how narrow this structure can be, given that the Romanian is a language of a derivative type; moreover, to where the influence of the language stretches, and from where the "freedom of action" of onomastics begins in the formation of anthroponyms, their structure in this case. We rely mainly on the anthroponymic material from Oltenia, but the analysis is extended, when thought necessary, on the names of people from other regions of the country as well.

Traces of Pre-Greek Linguistics Substratum in Early Byzantine Toponymy: Lists Related to Macedonia and Thessaly in Procopius’ "Buildings"

In our contribution, we will focus on the traces of the old Pre-Greek linguistics substratum in certain names of forts from Justinian’s building program presented in the Procopius’ Buildings (Περὶ κτισμάτων, De aedificiis). Actually, the Book IV of the panegyric features a description of fortifications, built and restored by the Emperor Justinian in the European territories. This is the most detailed book in the work, written with great care and completeness, most likely due to the fact that the danger of barbarian incursions in these areas was the greatest. In the paper we will present certain examples of place names which obviously contain remnants of relict languages as very important and valuable toponomastic evidence, typical for the broader area. We are going to inspect the etymology of the place names by Procopius attested as Λάρισσα, Γόμφοι, Λόσσονος, Πέλεκον, Χάραδρος and Βάβας. If possible, we will comparatively examine testimonies from other ancient and medieval sources, as well as epigraphic and archeological data for each name.

Problematizing urban microtoponyms

AbstractA spatial perspective on microtoponyms, informal non‐standardized names of small objects and places known to the locals, is an often‐neglected segment of urban political toponymic theory and practice. Though critically‐oriented thinkers have acknowledged the role of vernacular place names in the spatial organization of symbolic cultural landscapes, place‐making processes, and the everyday life of people and their communities, conceptual spatial‐political theorizations on this subject have been relatively rare. Driven upon the critical toponymic theory, this paper aims to delineate a conceptual framework for studying urban microtoponyms as spatial phenomena by integrating the toponymic plurality notion. Based on examples primarily from non‐Western geographical contexts, this paper offers a fresh perspective on urban place naming practices and related spatial processes providing some analytical pathways for critical scholars in urban toponymy and guiding potential empirical investigations in this field.

Symbolic significance and cognitive dimension of the Latvian landscape

As well as physical reality, the landscape is also an emotionally symbolic structure that closely intertwines with human cognitive perception, self-identification, with the perception of the homeland, as well as affects our daily habits. The landscape, as a cultural expression, forms a close connection with historical and political events, with traditions and customs, with each individual and with the nation as a whole, all of this manifests itself in a symbolic sense of the landscape, often used as a national recognition, for marketing purposes, but the symbols of the landscape are also a close connection between each individual and their native place and ancestors. The research analyses various aspects and phenomena that influence the symbolic importance of the landscape and relate to both cognitive aspects of each individual or community, nation, and collective memory and other expressions of identity and self-awareness. The landscape has a holistic nature that explains the close connection of several processes, both physical changes in landscape and changes in perception of each individual, according to the political and social situation of the country. Not least importance has the history of the development of the landscape perception of each country, which has been formed relatively recently in Latvia and art, photograms and the systematic division of the landscape created by researchers also play a big role in it. The regional context and cultural and historical division of Latvia should also be noted in the creation of landscape symbols. Cognitive processes are therefore associated with such concepts – Genius Locci, memory and event landscapes, landscape identity, place names, landscape biographies, etc. As a result, the author's model for the development and operation of the symbolic meaning of the landscape is presented, reflecting the structure and specificity of the symbolic creation of the landscape, as well as related processes that influence the symbolic meaning of the landscape.

Idiomatic Toponymic Phrasemes in Bajan: Evidence from Amateur Paremiography

This study begins with the quantification of the paremiological inventory of Bajan, the English-based creole spoken in Barbados, by examining all the printed collections of proverbs, both amateur and professional, available to date. Consequently, by relying specifically on the amateur paremiographic work on Bajan compiled in 1987 by G. Addinton Forde, namely De Mortar-pestle: A Collection of Barbadian Proverbs, this article examines not just the proverbs but also the phrasemes which employ territorial place names found therein. In greater detail, this investigation is intended to show how the idiomatic use of such toponymic phrasemes yields cultural representations characterizing the unique worldview of Barbadians both within and outside the Anglophone Caribbean. Despite the fact that the colonial history of the island and the recollection of the slavery era are still undeniably evident in the toponymic Bajanisms considered, whose authentically local components are almost entirely drawn from the names of former plantations, the intrinsic Barbadianness that stands at their core is foregrounded.

Case Study of De-Russification of Ukrainian Hodonyms

The 2022 outbreak of the Russian full-scale war against Ukraine has led to a reassessment of memory politics in Ukraine. The erasure of communist symbols or “decommunization” has evolved into a decolonization process of de-Russificationin in which Russian cultural symbols, including toponyms, are removed from the symbolic space. This article presents the results of a mixed method investigation of Ukrainian hodonyms to shed light on the effects of war on a nation’s postcolonial toponymic legacy. We argue that de-Russification in Ukraine is a case of national “toponymic cleansing”. Simultaneously, this process may be interpreted as an act of restorative justice following cultural colonization. The findings indicate that posttransitional rethinking of place names in Ukraine is still strongly bounded by the effect of scale, and specific approaches to de-Russification are largely dependent on the local historical, cultural, and geopolitical context.

Somewhere in France: Language, Place and Remembrance in Australian Soldiers’ Periodical Culture

An exploration of the thesis that while for contemporary Australians Villers-Bretonneux is the main ‘lieu de commémoration’ (place of remembrance), for the First World War diggers, ‘lieux de mémoire’ (sites of memory) were created from a much wider and varied list of place names— places where they had been, and fought, Villers-Bretonneux being for them just one of many. Focusing on the 1918–1929 period, this article explores the Australian experience and memory of the First World War by analysing how the concept of place was constructed within trench journals and returned soldier periodical print culture.

The use of old demarcations to recover vanished landscapes: a case study in Doñana (SW Spain)

This study emphasises the value of surveys, demarcations, and boundary delimitations in uncovering vanished landscapes and understanding the origins of present ecosystems, with a particular focus on Doñana, Spain. A 1661 delimitation was examined providing detailed information on the state of vegetation and ecosystems at the time it was conducted, as well as the processes and disappearance of elements now buried under the mobile dunes. This information was combined with historical maps and documents to gain a better understanding of the area’s ecological history. The demarcation revealed previously unknown aspects, such as the penetration point of the mobile dunes, some vanished ponds, and the drainage of the Santa Olalla pond towards the sea. It also revealed lost and relocated place names, shedding light on their significance through additional historical research and fieldwork. The findings highlight the importance of demarcations in reconstructing vanished landscapes and understanding the genesis of current ecosystems.

A Spatially-Aware Data-Driven Approach to Automatically Geocoding Non-Gazetteer Place Names

Human and natural processes such as navigation and natural calamities are intrinsically linked to the geographic space and described using place names. Extraction and subsequent geocoding of place names from text are critical for understanding the onset, progression, and end of these processes. Geocoding place names extracted from text requires using an external knowledge base such as a gazetteer. However, a standard gazetteer is typically incomplete. Additionally, widely used place name geocoding—also known as toponym resolution—approaches generally focus on geocoding ambiguous but known gazetteer place names. Hence, there is a need for an approach to automatically geocode non -gazetteer place names. In this research, we demonstrate that patterns in place names are not spatially random. Places are often named based on people, geography, and history of the area and thus exhibit a degree of similarity. Similarly, places that co-occur in text are likely to be spatially proximate as they provide geographic reference to common events. We propose a novel data-driven spatially-aware algorithm, Bhugol , that leverages the spatial patterns and the spatial context of place names to automatically geocode the non-gazetteer place names. The efficacy of Bhugol is demonstrated using two diverse geographic areas – USA and India. The results show that Bhugol outperforms well-known state-of-the-art geocoders.

Geographies of landscape aesthetics: mapping landscape terminology in digitised historical travel accounts of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs

ABSTRACT This study spatially analyses aesthetic terms in historical travel accounts of the landscapes of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. We applied a hybrid approach, combining qualitative methods of textual analysis with quantitative techniques of a Geographical Information System (GIS), to a corpus of 38 digitised works featuring a range of historic guidebooks and travelogues. To identify relationships between place names, landscape features and the aesthetic terms beautiful, magnificent, picturesque, romantic and sublime, we first analysed how these terms occurred together in the text. We also used digital terrain model data in GIS to explore relationships between the aesthetic terms and the elevation of place names and landscape features. The results provide evidence that the aesthetic terms magnificent and sublime were applied to describe places and landforms at higher elevations, whilst beautiful, picturesque and romantic were applied to lower-lying regions of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs landscapes. Our findings illustrate how the cartographic capabilities of GIS, combined with text analysis, can shed light on how landscapes were historically represented in travel literature.

Decline in proper name retrieval during story recall is associated with Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers in cognitively unimpaired individuals

AbstractBackgroundRemembering names of people and places is a common problem in aging that is exacerbated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Because retrieval of proper names (PNs) has been associated with brain regions affected by AD (anterior and medial temporal lobe), PN retrieval may be an especially sensitive measure of early AD pathology. Extending results of a previous study from WRAP (Mueller et al., 2020), this study examined associations between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers and longitudinal delayed story recall PN retrieval.MethodParticipants were from the BIOCARD study, a cohort of late‐middle aged adults enriched for parental history of AD. Participants were cognitively unimpaired at baseline with longitudinal item‐level data from the Logical Memory (LM; WMS‐R) Story A recall (N = 218; M(SD) baseline age = 58(9); M(SD) follow‐up = 4.1(2.9) years). CSF amyloid beta (Ab42/40) and phosphorylated tau181 (p‐tau181) were measured using automated electrochemiluminescence assays; AD biomarker abnormality (+) was determined using the bottom quartile for Ab42/40 and the top quartile for p‐tau181. We calculated total Story A PNs (range 0‐4) and total score (0‐25). We performed longitudinal linear mixed effects (LME) models examining the interaction between time (LM age, centered) and last available Ab42/40 and/or p‐tau181 status as predictors of PNs and total recall (subject‐specific random intercepts).ResultOf the 218 participants included, forty‐nine (22.4%) were Ab42/40+, 60 (27.5%) were p‐tau181+, and the remainder were A‐/T‐ (Table 1). In LME models, CSF‐Ab42/40+*age was not a significant predictor of either outcome. The p‐tau181+*age interaction showed significantly greater annual decline in PNs in the p‐tau181+ group than the p‐tau181‐ group (interaction beta = ‐.01, p = .02; simple slope estimate p‐tau181‐ = .002, p‐tau181+ = ‐.01) (Table 2, Fig.1). Interaction patterns were weaker yet similar for total recall. In follow‐up analyses, 15 participants who converted to MCI or dementia were removed and results remained unchanged. In an exploratory model combining biomarker statuses, the Ab42/40+/p‐tau181+*age interaction was non‐significant.ConclusionAs in the WRAP study, these results from BIOCARD indicate that PN recall is more sensitive to preclinical change than the traditional story recall total score metric; results also indicate that decline is greatest in those with elevated CSF p‐tau. Future directions should include replication in other longitudinal cohorts.

DEVELOPING READING MATERIAL IN THE FORM OF SHORT STORY BASED ON CENTRAL KALIMANTAN CULTURE

This research aims to develop reading materials in the form of short stories based on Central Kalimantan culture. Reading materials for university level in the form of local content are still limited. In fact, Dayak culture can be an interesting alternative reading material besides providing academic texts to students. Based on the needs analysis, it is known that at the English Education Study Program of Universitas Palangka Raya, there is a need for reading materials that are able to improve reading skills while containing relevant texts with text difficulty levels that are appropriate for student levels. Further, the reading materials should be in accordance with student interests and needs, contain effective learning strategies, and integrate culture or local content. This research applies Developmental Research in accordance with the ADDIE stages (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Based on the Evaluation, the developed reading materials are in the form of short stories that contain Central Kalimantan cultural aspects embedded in activities, name of people, name of places, and name of food. The reading materials also contain exercises that demand students' skills in reading comprehension.

Derviş Bey Mosque in Dobrudja: A Possible Contribution to Sarı Saltık Research

This study is about the Derviş Bey Mosque in the south of the Dobrudja region. The mosque is located in the village of Umur Fakih, which was a district centre during the Ottoman period. Built with stone walls and a wooden roof, the mosque has a rectangular plan and does not have a minaret. The mosque, which was used until it was burned down in 1994, became dilapidated after that date. The architectural features of the mosque are discussed in comparison with the mosques in the neighbouring villages, and the restitution of the mosque is prepared by analysing the information from the field study, the publication of Zheko Popov and the photographs of Machiel Kiel. The opinions of İbrahim Tatarlı, Peter Mijatev and Nikolay Panayotov on the history of the building, its inscriptions and its owner are discussed and evaluated. The mosque has two inscriptions, one of which has not survived. Both inscriptions are repair inscriptions and the inscription belonging to the last repair has survived intact. There are also opinions stating that the date written in the inscription, which has not survived to the present day, was read incorrectly. The construction date written in the extant inscription is clearly Hijri 698 / Gregorian 1298-1299. This date is contemporary with the Turkmen settlement in Dobruja under the leadership of Sarı Saltık. The arrival of Turkmens in Dobruja, the construction and repair activities mentioned in Saltıknâme and Oğuznâme, Sarı Saltık's establishment of the Yılan Lodge in Kaligra Castle, recent archaeological finds and place names in the region, and the Seljuk past of Dobruja are evaluated, and the possible Seljuk past of Derviş Bey Mosque is examined. Keywords: Bulgaria, Dobrudja, Umur Fakih, Sarı Saltık, Derviş Bey, Mosque.
