A Letter to My Newborn

<p>This letter takes place as a conversation with my newborn about the struggles and desires I see on the horizon at the moment of writing. The letter’s simple style and straightforward language invite you to immerse yourself in an intimate sharing between myself and my one-year-old and consider the perspective of a young child coming to grips with the world around them. I draw on past conversations with my mother about her illness and her ecological work, as well as elements of our family history working and living on the river Clyde. Falling somewhere between a poem, a story and a letter, I explore themes of change and hope, ecological precarity, health and illness, and a path towards more livable worlds. Two photos included with the letter share intimate moments with the reader related to my writing – the moment Clyde reaches for his grandmother at the water’s edge, an ode to the river on which she grew up and after which he is named; and the moment my mother unfolds her hand letting an edible flower sit delicately along her hand’s life lines as an offering of nourishment and interconnection.</p>

Literary Critical Understanding of Šantić’s “Mythical” Fame With a Contribution to the Review of the Archive Collection of Aleksa Šantić in the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The paper consists of two, methodological and analytical, separate parts, which share the character and work of Aleksa Šantić. The first part tries, through an overview of critical valorisation, to literary critically understand the entire poetic creation of Aleksa Šantić, posing the fundamental research question of why Šantić is considered a great poet, even though his poetry, taken as a whole, viewed from an aesthetic perspective, cannot be qualified as “great”. Above all, based on the insight of criticism into the consideration of the aesthetic value of Šantić’s poetry and the conclusions derived from the comparison of already existing and own reflections, the above question is answered with the hypothesis that Šantić’s “mythical” greatness is the result of the “ordinariness” of his poetry and the ability to give that “ordinariness” a sublime sense of the “topos” of spiritual preoccupation, on the semantic level, and on the syntactic level, expressed in a simple style and phrases close to the cognitive needs of the peoples’ consciousness.
 The second part of the paper presents a documentary-historical and archival-library contribution to the research of the character and works of Aleksa Šantić, and appears as a separate review of the legacy of manuscript material kept by the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Department of Special Collections. The legacy consists of letters, correspondence, photographs, letter cards, and postcards. These biographical and historical documents serve as a source for a factual introduction to a part of Šantić’s life and activities.
 The work is the result of research conducted on the basis of the project “Unification of materials on the cultural and historical heritage of Aleksa Šantić” financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science.

The Influence of Contemporary Art on Modern Design

Contemporary art, like modern design, cannot define a period scientifically, we can only understand it from a general period. Both contemporary art and modern design came into people's view gradually after the Second World War, and both actively explored and interacted with the whole world in their own ways of development under the great cultural environment after the Second World War. Although contemporary art and modern design have their own development characteristics, they have certain commonalities. Even in a certain sense, contemporary art and modern design are interchangeable. Due to the influence of science and technology and production factors, designers are different from artists. Art is a pure personal feeling, while design needs to take into account the preferences of the market, consumers and customers. Therefore, designers cannot be compared with artists in the pursuit of beauty. Therefore, in the design process, designers often draw inspiration from works of art, and the design thus develops in a good way. However, this does not mean that art and design are good or bad. Art and design are independent and interdependent, and art and design can only develop through mutual learning. Since the emergence of the Bauhaus Institute, modern design has undergone groundbreaking changes, from the pursuit of cumbersome and gorgeous design only for the aristocracy to the public design, simple style has become the dominant, which is a big step in the design industry. With the development of productivity level, design has changed from meeting people's basic life needs to meeting people's means of enriching daily life and improving the quality of life.

The Concept of Death in "To an Athlete Dying Young and Anthem for Doomed Youth"

Abstract
 Both To an Athlete Dying Young and Anthem for Doomed Youth poems have relative significance in literature. To find out what is death, there must be no distance between death and the individual who has to understand the significance of death and live with it while being fairly alert. That thing called death is the end of everything that the human knows; i.e. body, mind, work, and ambitions which all have an end when death occurs.
 This paper is an attempt to compere the theme of death in two poems, namely A E Housman’s To an athlete dying young which manifests the comfort of death through its simple style and views death as celebrating the release from the difficulties of life, and Wilfred Owen’s Anthem for doomed youth, which presents the primary theme of war as horror and pity and focuses on the horror of young men’s death. Anthem specifies happiness and joy attached to Doom youth, and expresses great sorrow; and that war brings sufferings. To an athlete dying young portrays death as glory and eternal adulation. In comparison, Anthem for the Doomed Youth portrays death as horrible not glorious. Both poems were written in the context of a sensitive and very emotional phenomenon, namely death which is seen as a distinguishing phenomenon for both authors. There are contrasting views of the concept of death as different philosophers have come up with different points of view in this respect. On this basis, the current study considers the philosophical understanding of death by comparing the different philosophers views for a better and happy life.

Moral Implications in the Stories of Bharathiyar

India is a repository of stories. The stories are mostly in the spoken language of the people. The origin of the stories in Tamil is very old. There is not enough evidence to define its origin, but it can be traced back to the time of the Tolkappiar. It can be seen that Mahakavi Bharathi was also adept at the creation of stories and at the same time his stories were intended to convey the influences of moral values. Moreover, it is possible to see that stories are based on ideas about the people who traveled with them during the period in which they lived and the people they have seen. In Bharathiyar's stories, there is much to be seen in that true events are presented in the form of stories without imagination. It can be seen that Bharathiyar is seen from a slightly different point of view from other writers. Bharathiyar's stories are designed to illustrate the principles of justice that are applicable to all times. He has elaborated on the ethical considerations for personal development. His specialty is that he has set up stories in a very simple style without too much empty fiction. In this way, the purpose of this article is to highlight that Bharathiar’s stories are stories based on individual morality with the common good intention of promoting morality among the people.

A Comparative Study on the Influence of Different Decoration Styles on Subjective Evaluation of Hotel Indoor Environment

The purpose of this study is to explore the occupants’ subjective evaluation of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of hotels with the same physical environment and different decoration styles, and to reveal the influence of different decoration styles on the subjective evaluation of the indoor environmental quality. The study found a hotel with three mainstream styles of modern simple style, British pastoral style, and modern Japanese style, and adopted standard rooms with the same area, pattern, lighting, orientation, and decoration cost. The only variable controlled was the decoration style, and the subjective feelings of customers on the physical environment were investigated. Based on the literature and 604 online comments, the researchers designed a questionnaire and collected 710 effective questionnaires for empirical analysis. The analysis results of KH coder and SPSS software (Chicago, IL, USA) show that ➀ the light environment in the indoor environment (including indoor natural lighting, lighting and other influencing factors) and non-light visual factors (including indoor color matching, plant layout, closeness to nature, decoration texture, space materials, decoration atmosphere and other factors) has the greatest impact on the subjective evaluation of decoration style, especially on the subjective evaluation of modern simple indoor environment. ➁ Light environment, air quality and non-light visual factors play a key role in the subjective evaluation of the indoor environment of the British pastoral-style hotels. ➂ The light environment, thermal environment and non-light visual factors are the most sensitive to the subjective evaluation of the indoor environment of modern Japanese-style hotels. ➃ Thermal environment, light environment, acoustic environment, air quality environment and non-light visual factors have the greatest impact on the subjective evaluation of the hotel indoor environment. Based on the findings, this study puts forward some suggestions to improve the interior environment of the hotel with different decoration styles to improve the quality and attractiveness of the hotel.

Kürt Edebiyatında Mevlit

Mevlit is a term that comes to people who are born, place of birth, time of birth. In literature, Hz. It means the work that starts with the birthday of the Prophet, tells about his life, miracles, wars, morals, death and hilye. Hz. They were written down in order to be read in the festivals and ceremonies held due to the birth of the Prophet. In the Mevlits, in general, Hz. Common issues such as the Prophet's birthday (veladeti), his coming to prophecy (risaleti), his transfer to the sky (ascension) and his death (rihleti) are discussed. Mevlits are religious articles for the society and are generally written in a plain and simple style that everyone can understand. It is seen that the mawlid event occupies a special position among the Kurds. Various mawlids were written in many fields and in many periods of Kurdish literature. Keywords: Mawlid, Religion, Islam

The Impact of Bohemianism in Walt Whitman’s Poetry (A Critical Study of The Song of My Self”)

The objective of this paper is to explore the connection between Walt Whitman and Pfaff’s members, and their influence on him and thence his compositions. It attempts to propound Whitman’s attribution to Bohemianism in regard with his writings. The researcher aims to propose a critical study of “The Song of Myself”, one of the prominent poems in the 12 poems collection published in Leaves of Grass, which is remarkable for its candid themes and expressions, that orients Bohemianistic attitude. The attempt also emphasizes on the simple style to celebrate the idea of sublimity evident in the poems. Notwithstanding, Walt Whitman was highly productive before the Civil War, in which he composed many distinguished poems. For several years before and after writing his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, the poet used to visit a secret bar called Pfaff. This bar is the center of the activities of the Bohemian movement in the middle of the nineteenth century. It was supported by many geniuses, poets, artists, musicians, and revolutionaries such as Henry Clapp. Pfaff witnessed many political and literary ideals; the Bohemians had two weekly publications Vanity Fair and New-York Saturday Press. In the light of such environment, Whitman found many supporters of his poetic vision, including competitors, critics, and close friends. Furthermore, his bohemian participations during his frequent visit to Pfaff won the acceptance of the American critic and poet Edmund Clarence Stedman, who was later identified as one of the makers of literary taste.

A New Configuration Method for Glass Substrate Transfer Robot Modules Based on Kansei Engineering

How to effectively match the relationship between users’ perceptual demands and the characteristics of industrial robot modules becomes a pressing issue when perceptual demands become a significant determinant of whether users purchase and employ industrial robots. In this regard, we propose a Kansei Engineering-based method for industrial robot module configuration, using the module design of a glass substrate transfer robot as an example. First, the method analyzes the perceptual demand characteristics of the target user, utilizing the semantic difference method, and then establishes a mapping relationship between the user’s perceptual demand and the robot design elements, utilizing the hierarchical inference method. On the basis of this mapping relationship, the robot module for transfer glass substrates is then designed. Finally, orthogonal design and conjoint analysis were used to effectively and objectively analyze user preferences for various module configuration alternatives. The results indicate that the industrial robot’s shape, color, and material are the three appearance characteristics that influence the user’s perceptual demands. The slender, rigid design features of the industrial robot, such as the streamlined drive shaft, lengthwise expanded body structure, integrated body structure, and hidden plugs, as well as the simple color scheme and smooth metal surface, are key elements in the industrial robot’s perceptual design. The turn shaft module and lift shaft module have respective weights of 35.040% and 31.120%, determining whether the glass substrate transfer robot can create a simple style. In the context of the widespread use of industrial robot modules, the methods and findings of this study offer new ideas for the design of industrial robot modules and broaden the research and applications of Kansei Engineering in module design.

Sangam Tamil and Kalaignar

All the glories of Tamil sung by Sangam poets during the Sangam period, Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi tried to write in a simple style in the weekly magazine 'Kungumum'. As a result, today we have in our hands a great "Sangam treasure". Yes, many have studied the Sangam literature. Very few have searched for the treasure of Sangam literature out of interest and love for Tamil and brought it to the people. Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi's works are multifaceted in signification. Regarding Sangam literature, he selected some songs and divided them into internal and external genres and gave an explanatory speech in his own style as to heroism and love. He regarded the Sangam literature from a new angle, enjoyed it, and made it understandable to the common people. Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi can also be mentioned in that line. This article examines some of the poems in his work from the Kalaignar's point of view.

Fakhrul Muhaqiqeen's the Jurisprudence of the Obligatory and the Recommended In the al-Risalah al-Fakhriyah

Writing papers and summaries is a method on which scientists and scholars depended for scientific and research purposes and for meeting the students' jurisprudential and Usul (principles of jurisprudence) requirements. The al-Risalah al-Fakhriyah is characterized by scientific accuracy, simple style, sound jurisprudential method and plenty of meanings and concepts. It is famous enough of being written by Sheikh Abu Talib Mohammed ibn Hassan ibn Yusuf ibn Ali ibn al-Mutahar, alias Fakhrul Muhaqiqeen.The researcher dealt with the terms: Wajib (obligatory) and Mustahab (recommended) in the chapter of the worship that is based on the intention of getting nearer to Almighty Allah. He also dealt with the wording and formulas contained in the hadiths of the Prophet and his honored Household (PBUT). The research classified the wajib and the mustahab. This induction -of the (Islamic) jurisprudential matters that the Mukalaf (the sane adult) may commit wrongly- became a substitute for books of Islamic laws that are difficult to find and to understand. It is like an easy-to-use worship program, which can be reviewed, implemented, or understood by every Mukalaf. It is noteworthy that the researcher wrote this book at the request of a grand scholar.This research is an attempt to study the use and the importance of the jurisprudential term, and to present the approach of the writer.

"The wandering poet"; Depictions on ancient Javanese relief panels

There are about 60 panels with narrative reliefs from the area of Trowulan in East Java depicting mountains, rivers, bridges, trees, fields, dwellings, pendopo , and palaces. A male figure wearing a cap-like headdress accompanied by a little panakawan -like figure, walks along a cobbled path through a beautiful landscape. The figures are carved in the simple style of East Javanese reliefs on Majapahit temples. The predominance of nature, in amazing detail, is unusual compared to other narrative temple reliefs. The exact provenance is difficult to determine. The artefacts are scattered in museums all over the world: the majority in Trowulan, as well as a large convolute in Jakarta, in Amsterdam, and elsewhere. Fixing the order of the panels is a challenge. This paper discusses two major topics: (A) presenting depictions of landscape and nature in visual art; (B) comparison with Old Javanese texts narrating journeys through landscape and nature. These exercises will provide some conclusions about the function of landscape and nature in the reliefs and their purpose at their original sites. Questions on provenance will also be raised, including the documentation practice of the colonial Dutch and Indonesian Archaeological Services. A number of the panels have been documented by the OD (Dutch Oudheidkundige Dienst), archived in OD photos entitled “Reliefs from Trowulan”, other panels have been documented as being from the site Menak Jinggo in Trowulan. In my paper, I call the reliefs under investigation the “Trowulan reliefs”. N.J. Krom’s (1923) suggestion of doing research on the convolute of these reliefs has never been undertaken, now 100 years later it is time to do so.

USAGE OF THE TWO VERBS ( YE / IC ) IN TURKISH LANGUAGE

This research paper studies the wide use of the two verbs: “lç -” and “Ye-”. It studies those two verbs basing on the novel “Arafat ta ir Cocuk” by (Zulfu LIVAN ELI) and the novel “Hasret” by (Canan TAN) to identify the usages of the verb. The reason for choosing those two novels because the novelists are considered very famous writers in the present day. Their writings are read widely by readers. The novel “Arafat ta ir Cocuk”, that is considered the first literary work by (Zulfu LIVAN ELI), has been published in 1978. It received a wide interest in Turkey and all over the world. It has been published in Turkey for several times and translated into German and Persian as well. The novel has been turned to be a movie in the German and Swedish TV. They took in consideration that the text written in the novel represents daily conversation language with a simple style. As for (Canan TAN) and her novel “Hasret”, is considered one of the best-selling novels and this why we decide to choose it for this study. I want in this study to show the wide use of the two verbs “lç -” and “Ye-”. The research paper consists of main sections. The first one studies the verb “Ye-” and the second studies the verb “lç -”. The final section studies the two verbs together. The sections are divided within according to the features meaning and pattern and the formalistic and usage features. The classification has been indexed in sections according to alphabetical letters and in the end of any form I mentioned abbreviation of product and the form that is taken from. I identify these expressions that widely contain the two verbs “lç -” and “Ye-” with a bold style following the procedures of the book of (Zeynep Korkmaz) entitled (Turkish Language Grammar) and Turkish Language Grammar book by (Tahsin Banguoglu). In the conclusion I divided the classification as well as what have been identified in the usages of the two verbs, the subject of the study.

Embedding Semantic Anchors to Guide Topic Models on Short Text Corpora

Documents on the social media platform Twitter are formulated in short and simple style, instead of being written extensively and elaborately. Further, the core message of a post is often encoded into characteristic phrases called hashtags . These hashtags illustrate the semantics of a post or tie it to a specific topic. In this paper, we propose multiple approaches of using hashtags and their surrounding texts to improve topic modeling of short texts. We use transfer learning by applying a pre-trained word embedding of hashtags to derive preliminary topics. These function as supervising information, or seed topics and are passed to Archetypal LDA (A-LDA), a recent variant of Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach using a large corpus of posts exemplarily on Twitter. Our approaches improve the topic model's qualities in terms of various quantitative metrics. Moreover, the presented algorithms used to extract seed topics can be utilized as form of lightweight topic model by themselves. Hence, our approaches create additional analytical opportunities and can help to gain a more detailed understanding of what people are talking about on social media. By using big data in terms of millions of tweets for preprocessing and fine-tuning, we enable the classification algorithm to produce topics that are very coherent to the reader.

Theophrastus's "Anaisthetos" ("The Obtuse Man"): the oldest "phenomenological" description of neurodevelopmental disorders in an adult.

Theophrastus (381-278 B.C.), was the first to adopt the term character for the description of distinct inner psychological and moral features of an individual. In his classic book 'Characters' in a simple style wording he analyses some of his contemporary individuals. The character "Αναίσθητος" (Anaisthetos) has been translated in English as "The Obtuse Man" and in Modern Greek both as "Αναίσθητος", meaning lack of appreciation and "Βραδύνους", meaning slowness of mind. Theophrastus' description of this particular character is compatible with the co-occurrence in an adult of two Neurodevelopmental Disorders: the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder (SPCD), according to the 5th Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Ten out of the twelve statements support the possible occurrence of ADHD while five of them the occurrence of SPCD. The description does not justify a diagnosis of an intellectual disability; therefore, we consider that in the Modern Greek vocabulary the original term «Αναίσθητος» ("Anaisthetos"), meaning lack of appreciation, is more accurately corresponding to this particular Theophrastus's character than "Βραδύνους" ("Obtuse"), which indicates the presence of low intellectual capacities. Also the lack of repetitive and restrictive interests and behaviours excludes Autism Spectrum Disorder as a possible diagnosis. Minor psychiatric disorders and traits according to the Peripatic School were attributed to the lack of rational control over appetites and behavior. Accordingly, «Αναίσθητος» is a phenomenological description of a stigmatizing inappropriate social behavior and the only help that might give is in increasing self-awareness. In our contemporary clinical practice, though, the early recognition and appropriate treatment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in affected individuals, leads to a better clinical care and may diminish stigmatization. The co-existence of these two disorders in a character in such a different historical context reinforces their validity as diagnostic constructs and provides an example of co-occurrence of Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
