A Comparison of Two Translations of <i>Riverside Town•A Dream of the Night of the 20th Day of the 1st Moon 1075</i> Under Transitivity Theory

Transitivity theory is a semantic system under the conceptual function put forward by Halliday, which expresses people’s experience and inner feelings through six processes, namely material process, mental process, relational process, behavioral process, verbal process and existential process. Thus, transitivity theory can provide a new perspective for discourse analysis. Based on the transitivity theory, this paper compares and analyzes two English versions of<i> Riverside Town•A Dream of the Night of the 20^th Day of the 1st Moon 1075 English </i>— Xu Yuanchong’s and Burton Waston’s. By comparing the differences and similarities of the process types in each clause chosen by translators, the paper hopes to further help readers understand the main idea and language characteristics of the ancient poetry, and confirms the guiding function of transitivity theory in poetry translation practice. The comparison shows that Xu’s version is more flexible, which not only follows the transitivity process of the original text, but also deeply depicts the poet’s grief for his dead wife. As a foreign translator, Burton tends to take literal translation. But there is no doubt that both translations are excellent. At the same time, the author also believes that transitivity theory is operable in poetry translation.

Coparenting, Couple Conflict, Social Support, and Relationship Quality: A Dyadic Exploration of Couples From LIEM Backgrounds

Economically marginalized families may face enduring vulnerabilities that make adaptive relational processes leading to healthy, long-term relationships more difficult. Informed by the vulnerability-stress-adaptation framework, we utilized an actor-partner interdependence model and dyadic data from a sample of 199 low-income couples who were expecting or had recently given birth to investigate the association of two adaptive processes (couple conflict and coparenting alliance) and two personal resources (instrumental and emotional support) with their relationship quality. Results indicated significant actor effects of men’s and women’s coparenting alliance and men’s instrumental support on their own reports of relationship quality. Additionally, results indicated three significant conjoint actor-partner effects—couple conflict and couple emotional support on women’s relationship quality and couple conflict on men’s relationship quality. These findings contribute to the literature on the transition to parenthood and extend the literature examining dyadic relational processes in families from low-income and economically marginalized backgrounds.

Effects of Family and Social Group Reactions to Intermarriage Decisions in Turkey

The present study aims to understand the phenomenon of intermarriage between Alevi and Sunni groups in Turkey through reactions of the family, relatives, and social environment toward such marriage decisions, along with the effects of these reactions on the marriage and the effects of intermarriage on spouses’ relations with third parties. To this end, in-depth interviews conducted with 43 Alevi-Sunni intermarried spouses were subjected to content analysis. This analysis showed that the reactions of parents, relatives, and friends were generally positive, in line with previous research on intermarriages. Apart from focusing on the challenges faced by intermarried spouses, the study adopted a positive framework regarding intermarriage by considering the processes and coping strategies ensuring success in such relationships. Focusing on these relational processes is thought to encourage further studies on managing intercultural differences and similarities in intermarriage.

ANALISIS GENRE WACANA SURAT HAMID KEPADA ZAINAB DALAM NOVEL DI BAWAH LINDUNGAN KA’BAH

This study will examine the genre analysis of the contents of Hamid's letter to Zainab contained in the novel "Di bawah Lindungan Ka’bah" by Buya Hamka. The subject of this research is Hamid's letters. The object of research is genre. The data obtained is the documentation of their letters contained in the novel. The method used to analyze the data is a qualitative descriptive method. Data analysis uses genre theory because it can conclude the analysis from the types of discourse, as well as describe its substance. The results showed that Hamid's letter to Zainab contained 6 purpose sentences, 1 rhetorical structure. Meanwhile, for the realization of the use of linguistic forms using the LFS (Systemic Functional Linguistics) method, there are data; Mental processes = 9 processes, Material processes = 11 processes, behavioral processes = 2 processes, relational processes = 5 processes. Then after conducting further analysis of this research, we can conclude that Hamid's letter to Zainab belongs to the type of descriptive discourse

Gendered parenthood gaps in employer-provided training: the role of immediate supervisors

Abstract Powerful male actors are argued to secure workplace resources for themselves and other in-group members, contributing to workplace inequalities. We contend that, like gender, parenthood similarity in supervisor–supervisee dyads also provokes group processes, and that parenthood is superordinate to childlessness. Critically, we hypothesize how shared supervisor–supervisee parental status at its intersection with gender might intensify or offset (dis)advantage in access to workplace training. Hypotheses are tested with unique linked German employer–employee data and estimating gender-parental training differences using workplace fixed-effects regressions. Results show that while on average women train less than men and parents train more than childless workers, these effects can alter at the intersection with supervisors’ group memberships. Dyad ‘double jeopardy’ is evident in that childless women face the greatest training disadvantages when reporting to childless female supervisors. Yet whether sharing one superordinate status offsets disadvantage of a subordinate group membership occurs only for shared parenthood. Childless men gain no advantage when reporting to a male supervisor, whereas sharing parenthood with immediate supervisors countervails disadvantage of being female for mother supervisees. We conclude that only by considering social relations at the intersection of supervisor–supervisees’ multiple categorical memberships might we better understand the relational processes sustaining or reducing workplace inequalities.

Relational processes and power dynamics in psychoanalytic group supervision: A discourse analysis

ABSTRACT The authors explore the relationship between language and interpersonal dynamics within supervision groups for psychoanalytically oriented child and adolescent psychotherapists working at a charitable clinical service in a large metropolitan city in the UK. Using discourse analysis, the authors identified key interpersonal functions of language in a professional supervisory setting. Results revealed linguistic processes through which power identities and dynamics were enacted and multiple opinions and perspectives negotiated during group supervision. The authors then make practical suggestions regarding the management of power differentials and interpersonal relationships to facilitate more constructive group supervision and promote better therapeutic outcomes.

A ATUAÇÃO DO ENFERMEIRO NA PREVENÇÃO DA SÍFILIS CONGÊNITA E OS ESPAÇOS DE DISCUSSÃO

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the possibilities for nurses' discussion and performance spaces in the quadrilateral of training in the health area: teaching, care, management and social control in the prevention of congenital syphilis. Method: a qualitative and exploratory-descriptive research study, theoretically supported by public health policies. The data were collected in July 2020 through nine online focus groups with a total of 42 nurses from 18 municipalities in the mountainous region of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. For data systematization, thematic content analysis was used with the support of the Atlas.ti software, version 8.0. Results: nurses' performance occurred especially during direct assistance to patients, when performing rapid tests, monitoring prenatal care and following-up cases of the disease. Discussions about congenital syphilis took place in care spaces. As for the quadrilateral, the nurses related health care to direct assistance and to management of the work organization process in relation to the prevention of congenital syphilis, in addition to pointing out weaknesses in education and social control. They suggested training managers about the quadrilateral. Conclusion: the nurses acted in the prevention of congenital syphilis through direct assistance, making it necessary to expand actions to combat syphilis, especially by increasing the discussion spaces and the elaboration of strategies that involve professionals, managers, researchers and the community in an articulated way about the reality of syphilis in the state, as well as about prevention and treatment means.

RAZVOJ METODA REFERENCIJALOSTI U SAVREMENOJ PROJEKTANTSKOJ I DIDAKTIČKOJ PRAKSI ARHITEKTURE

The aim of this paper is a better understanding of the transformation of the reference-based design process in relation to different stylistic determinants and cultural circumstances that accompany the development of architecture in Central Europe from the mid-twentieth century to the present and the role of rationalism as a unifying character of these stylistic expressions. The subject of the paper is based on the analysis of the use of references in the process of architectural design, through parallel reflections on design, theoretical and didactic approaches in the works of Aldo Rossi, Miroslav Šik, and Valeri Olgiati. The methodological differences of the mentioned authors are observed both in relation to the continuity in the use of the analogous method in mentoring (Rossi and Šik) and specific dislocations in relation to the given positions in their theoretical and design work. The research follows three methodologies developed at the ETH University of Zurich in the period from 1972 to the present: the analogous architecture of Aldo Rossi, the analogous old-new architecture of Miroslav Šik, and the non-referential architecture of Valeri Olgiati. Within this topic, the intention is to understand the different approaches in the selection of references, and their role and meaning in the intertextual relationship that is formed. The paper starts from the assumption that the structure of the source of reference in contemporary architecture is transformed in relation to the postmodernist conceptions, and that this trans- formation is reflected in the shift from referential-authorial to extensive-cultural sources. The final assumption is that in interpreting the methodological approaches of the three authors one can recognize the continuous influence of rationalism, as a unifying expression, which, due to its simplicity and adaptability, serves as an anchor for various explorations in theory and design.

A semigroup approach to stochastic systems with input delay at the boundary

&lt;p style='text-indent:20px;'&gt;This work focuses on the well-posedness of abstract stochastic linear systems with boundary input delay and unbounded observation operators. We use product spaces and a semigroup approach to reformulate such delay systems into free-delay distributed stochastic systems with unbounded control and observation operators. This gives us the opportunity to use the concept of admissible control and observation operators as well as the concept of Yosida extensions to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution process and provide an estimation of the observation process in relation to initial conditions and control process. As an example, we consider a stochastic Schrödinger system with input delay.&lt;/p&gt;

Influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the epizootic process in salmonellosis in farm animals

Salmonellosis is widespread in the world, including in Russia. Current preventive do not allow eliminating the disease completely. Successful implementation of measures to control salmonellosis is possible only when taking into account the peculiarities of the manifestation of the epizootic process in relation to certain natural, climatic and socio-economic conditions. It is advisable to use factor analysis to establish the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the epizootic process. Factor analysis made it possible to establish a significant interaction between primary and secondary actuating conditions for the development of the disease. These factors were combined with the cyclical manifestation of the epizootic process. Factor analysis made it possible to establish that with an increase in the loading of parameters, the intensity of the epizootic process will rise. At average annual temperatures (-0.33°C - 1.78°C) and annual precipitation (446 mm - 628 mm), in areas with a higher than average level of livestock of animals, the incidence of cattle is likely to be up to 0.11%; the incidence of pigs – up to 1.39%; the incidence of birds – up to 0.06%. The established probabilistic forecast encourages the adoption of effective measures for the prevention of salmonellosis in farm animals.

МЕТОДИКА ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНИХ НАУКОВО-ТЕХНІЧНИХ РЕСУРСІВ З ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ СЕРВІСУ «GOOGLE PATENTS»

Summary The purpose of research. Development of the methodology and determination of instrumental means of extracting the mass of information in accordance with the question being investigated, to determine the relevance, development trends and novelty of the applied research in the field of agricultural mechanical engineering. Research methods. Analytical study of the necessary actions between the stage of defining the task and achieving the result, with step-by-step removal of contradictions at each stage with the involvement of the logic of existing search engines. The Google Patents (GP) search system service was used as a tool. The results of the study. The method of extracting the array of knowledge in a specific field is proposed, taking into account the factors specific to the field. Contains stages: - preliminary definition of keywords or name; - search for full-text sources using the GP service (including non-patent literature (Google Scholar)); - expert selection of the closest analogue source from the search results page; - study of the analogue source page, in particular the Patent Citations, Similar Documents, Concepts machine-extracted sections. As an intermediate result - clarification of predefined keywords and repetition of the search cycle. A necessary component of the process is a self-learning human intellect. As a result, a set of full-text sources containing a body of knowledge on the chosen issue is formed. An example of a process in relation to the field of agricultural mechanical engineering is given. Conclusions. A technique for extracting an array of knowledge to determine the relevance, development trends and novelty of applied research in the field of technical sciences is proposed based on determining the correspondence of keywords and studying causal relationships that coincide with the principles of patent activity. The definition of the basic analogue and its key features according to the stages of technology development allows us to evaluate development trends and the contribution of subsequent scientific and technical solutions. The proposed technique can be used for self-learning of human intellect (researcher’s intellect). Some complexity of information processing is that promising elements of scientific and technical solutions can be described not in text-sign form, but presented (published) in a graphic format. Improving the methodology is possible in the direction of greater formalization of obtaining an objective result and less dependence on the qualifications of the researcher. Keywords: agricultural mechanical engineering, research methodology, information resources, applied scientific research, Google Patents service, human researcher’s self-learning intelligence, self-learning of human intellect, graphical information, textual information, transformation of information into knowledge.

Fair trial rights, pre-trial civil motions in pending criminal cases and abuse of court process with reference to the Free State asbestos pre-trial motion proceedings

South Africans have become accustomed to almost daily news reports of litigation in our courts that involve politically powerful and well-connected individuals. The perception by the public is that in many instances litigants approach the courts for other reasons than achieving justice and are therefore misusing our courts and its processes.1 This becomes a matter of concern when such perceptions affect the trust and confidence that the public holds in respect of the judicial system and the rule of law. The recent Free State asbestos pre-trial motion proceedings illustrate some of these concerns. This article first comments on the judgment of the Free State high court in this matter, and focusses on the unmeritorious aspects of the applications made. These aspects included a claim that the applicants’ right to a fair trial were infringed, and the applicants’ disregard for the established principle against preliminary civil motions emanating from criminal proceedings. Legal practitioners advise their clients and must do so responsibly. For that reason, the second part of the article comments on the professional rules of conduct against the abuse of the court process in relation to legal practitioners’ obligations to both their clients and the court. This duty includes not to litigate causes or raise defences that have little chance of success or where they are initiated by litigants for purposes other than achieving justice. Improper purposes include delaying the proceedings to escape criminal liability and ultimately, accountability. In order to curb pre-trial litigation in any court other than the criminal trial court, the article proposes an extension of the Criminal Procedure Act to clarify when such other court may be approached for relief. It also proposes that a certificate of probable cause accompanies all pre-trial motions that emanate from criminal proceedings in a court other than the trial court.

Research on the Generation Model of President Xi Jinping’s Ecological Discourse from the Perspective of Transitivity

Undeniably, ecological problems have tight contact with the development of human society. China as the largest developing country in the world, its ecological policy asserts great influence and President Xi Jinping’s discourses is an important reflection. By conducting a quantitative and qualitative research from the perspective of the Transitivity theory on the generation model of President Xi Jinping's ecological discourses, this paper finds that President Xi Jinping mainly apply material process, relational process and mental process to express four kinds of ecological discourses topics which are problem response, expression of construction goal, construction methods, call for common action, finally realizing the refection of the ecological idea, that is, to achieve the harmonious development of man and nature.

TWO NURSERY RHYME POEMS FROM A TEXT WORLD THEORY PERSPECTIVE

The analysis of two nursery rhyme poems from the perspective of Text World Theory shows the complexity of discourse structure of the genre that is popularly believed to be young children-oriented. According to P. Werth, J. Gavins, P. Stockwell, text worlds (alternative spelling: text-worlds) are mental constructs/representations that enable the author to create a particular text and readers/listeners, to understand and interpret it. Such worlds greatly depend on the linguistic cues and the context of the text, as well as on one’s general knowledge of the real world and his/her literary experience. In the current study, the discourse of the nursery rhymes Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall and Hush Little Baby, Don’t Say a Word is viewed in three aspects: (a) world-building elements that set temporal and spatial parameters, specify enactors and objects that are present in the text-world; function-advancing propositions; relational processes; (b) sub-worlds, or world-switches; (c) modalworlds. In Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall, the switch of deictic text-worlds is triggered by the implied change of local parameters and the introduction of new enactors. On the other hand, Hush Little Baby, Don’t Say a Word has a complex structure of consequently interrelated text-worlds. Its initial textworld, unlike that of the first poem, is of the deontic modal type. All the other worlds (except for the last one) are either epistemic or boulomaic modalworlds, both types being realized in the same complex sentences that describe various hypothetical situations in the future and the enactor’s further actions. Each new world consequently evolves from the previous one. This process is ensured by consequent repetition of nouns that denote enactors and/or objects and by parallel constructions that present hypothetical situations and describe the enactor’s possible actions. Thus, the analysis of the two nursery rhyme poems from a Text World Theory perspective has made it possible to establish complex intratextual relations in their discourse; besides, it has shown that the poems are designed so as to facilitate the development of young recipients’ cognitive skills.

Effective Diagnosis of Lung Cancer via Various Data-Mining Techniques

One of the leading cancers for both genders worldwide is lung cancer. The occurrence of lung cancer has fully augmented since the early 19th century. In this manuscript, we have discussed various data mining techniques that have been employed for cancer diagnosis. Exposure to air pollution has been related to various adverse health effects. This work is subject to analysis of various air pollutants and associated health hazards and intends to evaluate the impact of air pollution caused by lung cancer. We have introduced data mining in lung cancer to air pollution, and our approach includes preprocessing, data mining, testing and evaluation, and knowledge discovery. Initially, we will eradicate the noise and irrelevant data, and following that, we will join the multiple informed sources into a common source. From that source, we will designate the information relevant to our investigation to be regained from that assortment. Following that, we will convert the designated data into a suitable mining process. The patterns are abstracted by utilizing a relational suggestion rule mining process. These patterns have revealed information, and this information is categorized with the help of an Auto Associative Neural Network classification method (AANN). The proposed method is compared with the existing method in various factors. In conclusion, the projected Auto associative neural network and relational suggestion rule mining methods accomplish a high accuracy status.

Analyzing the experiential meanings of survivors’ expressions of natural disasters in Indonesia

This study examines how natural disaster survivors in Indonesia construe their experiences regarding such calamities affecting them personally or environmentally from a linguistic angle. To this end, the direct expressions of the survivors were analyzed following the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework. The transitivity analysis of the survivors' expressions allows us to uncover the experiential meanings in terms of Processes, Participants, and Circumstances, which correspond to verbs, nouns and adjuncts in the grammar, respectively. The survivors' direct expressions were extracted from forty conveniently and criteria-based sampled Indonesian news articles. These articles vary in terms of the types and locations of natural disasters. In total, 195 expressions were found. While the results show that the survivors construe their experience in various ways, they predominantly construe their experience as material Processes or physical events that affect them personally and environmentally. The grammar of their expressions demonstrates that they mostly position the natural disasters as Actors and themselves as Goals in the events, attesting to the agentive power of nature over humans. The survivors also understood the natural disasters in abstract ways, using relational and existential Processes. This study contributes to the public narrative and collective memory in discourses related to natural disasters.

RAIs IN TOP TIER LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTIC JOURNALS: MOVES, STEPS, AND THEIR IDEATIONAL MEANING REALIZATIONS

This study aims to attest how the transitivity analysis of move steps as well as their sequences in research article introductions of the top tier language and linguistic journals assists novice writers by providing some patterns to consider. To this end, the Swales’ CARS model and systemic functional linguistics were deployed. All data analysis and their interpretations were included in the umbrella of qualitative approach with the assistance of simple descriptive statistics. Results showed that there were 3 moves and 17 steps found with few consecutive sequences identified among them. Moreover, the patterns of move steps characterized as high, low, conventional, and optional were also observed. As for the realization of ideational meaning, based on transitivity analysis of move steps, there were 5 processes spotted with relational process dominating and existential the least. Furthering this, the present study has implications both in practical and theoretical domains.

The Ideational Meanings of Multimodal Texts Presented in an EFL Textbook

This study explores the ideational meanings of multimodal texts in an EFL textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris: When English Rings a Bell”. This study aims to describe the meanings of visual and verbal modes from ideational aspects. The visual modes were analyzed by using Visual Grammar Design framework (Kress van Leeuwen, 2006). Meanwhile, the verbal modes were analyzed using Systemic Functional Grammar theory focusing on the Transitivity system (Halliday, 1994). The ideational aspects of this study focus on components like participants, processes and circumstances. This study applied Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (henceforth SF-MDA) methodology. The findings of this study found that the dominant process types used in realizing the ideational meaning of the verbal text is relational process. Meanwhile, the ideational meaning of visual text is realized mostly through speech process. This study showed that the presentation of multimodal texts in the EFL textbook is relevant to the teaching and learning activity for the Junior high school students. Keywords: multimodality, ideational meaning, systemic functional grammar, multimodal analysis
