Choice Of Theme Research Articles

Модели сексуального поведения в российском кинематографе: образец или демотиватор для молодежи?

Increasing the birth rate is established as one of the priority goals of the country’s policy. Despite the imple-mented economic measures of pronatalist policy, negative trends cannot be reversed. One of the tools poten-tially influencing the dynamics of fertility is cinematography, which can influence the values of the youth. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the study of the image of sexual behavior, which is broadcast by cinema and can influence the formation of reproductive and matrimonial attitudes. The aim of the work is to examine the image of the relationship between a man and a woman created in films and TV series. The method is a content analysis of films demonstrating themes related to family. It is revealed that in the films, the role of the family as an approved and legal instrument for satisfying the need for sex prevails; in the vast majority of cas-es, cheating partners are portrayed negatively; at the same time, promiscuous sexual relations are romanti-cized; while polygyny is often shown from a negative position and polyandry from a positive one. The assump-tion is made that state funding is given to film projects that broadcast the model of the traditional family, and the implementation of pro-natalist policies is accompanied by the choice of appropriate themes by the national cinema.

Comparative Thematic Analysis of Social Science Research Articles by Pakistani and British Research Scholars: A Corpus-Based Study

Writers maintain the texture of the text and information with appropriate thematic choices. Previous studies have established that the problem of jumbled information existed in the academic writings of non-native English writers. Considering this, the present study aimed to analyze social science research articles written by Pakistani and British researchers keeping textual metafunction as the focal point. The objectives were to explain the functional interpretation of the thematic structures and figure out the dominant theme type in collected 160 research articles. The data was analyzed through feature coding of UAM corpus software to find out frequencies and percentages of themes and their types. The results revealed that the frequencies of themes in Pak-19 and Pak-20 were 1066 and 1252, while the frequencies in Bri-19 and Bri-20 were 1519 and 1883. Further, the findings suggested that the topical theme was frequently used as compared to textual and interpersonal themes. The second highest ratio was of textual theme as the frequencies of interpersonal theme were less as compared to textual. The topical themes functioned as noun groups, while the textual themes connected new information with previous information. Based on the findings, it was established that unmarked topical themes were prevailing in the research articles. Further, the use of finite, continuatives, and conjunctions was prevalent in textual themes.

Pelatihan Penyuntingan Karya Tulis Ilmiah Populer Untuk Siswa Kelas XII SMA Negeri 1 Kedamean

One form of writing, namely popular scientific works. In writing popular scientific works, writers must follow predetermined guidelines, for example templates, word choice (diction), and suitability of themes. Popular scientific works have word choices that are easy to read and easy for various groups to understand. Therefore, an editing process is needed so that popular scientific works become good. The aim of editing is to avoid too many errors and add references if necessary. Editing is the author's final step before his writing is published. Editing is not an easy job. This was experienced by the students of SMA Negeri 1 Kedamean. For this reason, lecturers in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program at PGRI Adi Buana University Surabaya need to provide community service through training. Training implementation method with face-to-face presentations, modeling and simulation accompanied by assignments. The community service carried out can provide students with insight and skills in editing popular scientific papers.

Deixa Meu Bloco Passar: Carnival Rhetoric and Its Meanings (São Paulo: 1968-1991)

This paper analyzes the carnival blocks exhibited in São Paulo city, from 1968 to 1991, based on their sambas-enredo [samba theme-songs] (or themes), following the rules of the formalization that took place in 1968 of carnivals and popular festivities in the city. This section ends with the inauguration of the Sambadrome in 1991, whose space became an icon for the parades of samba schools and blocks of Group 1. The period has its peculiarities in that it was marked by a dictatorial period (1968-1985) and a democratic one, which certainly had repercussions on the choice of parade themes. From a broader point of view, in addition to the changes in the country, there is an increasingly globalized world whose transformations affect carnivals, especially those practiced by the samba schools that exhibit parades marked by the monumentality of complex allegories and the chromatic explosion in the translation of the plots presented there, responding to media appeals for luxurious spectacles for their broadcasts. The blocks also underwent changes for their parades in the city streets. For this reflection, the sources used are the themes, the memories of the protagonists, the records of the Sociedade dos Amantes do Samba Paulista – SASP [Society of São Paulo Samba Lovers][1], which includes general information about the groups in the technical sheet, such as: the title of the block or school, the sambas-enredo (which bring each group together for the parades), the place chosen for each carnival performance; and news released by the press. Therefore, the question arises: what happens in the country and at Carnival during the period of this reflection? [1] On the Sociedade Amantes do Samba Paulista – SASP portal, information about these blocks (or schools) is precarious and incomplete, although the technical sheet contains several possibilities of data that would allow the profiles of these associations to be demarcated.

Perancangan Hotel Resort di Pantai Nusa Dua Selatan Bali dengan Tema Arsitektur Neo Vernakular

This research project focuses on the design of a Resort Hotel located on South Nusa Dua Beach, Bali. The main objective is to provide comfortable accommodation facilities for tourists, by making maximum use of the potential of the surrounding nature. In the design process, the theme Neo Vernacular Architecture was chosen. The choice of theme was based on the desire to highlight local Balinese architectural elements, which are oriented towards the utilization and preservation of the wealth of Bali's local environment. The main obstacle in this design is how to integrate the natural beauty of the beach with the needs of an effective and attractive tourist space for visitors. In addition, is the application of the Neo Vernacular theme which is packaged creatively in the architectural design of the hotel. In the discussion, it was found that the design solution lies in the arrangement of hotel rooms tailored to the specific functions of the resort, local characteristics, and the use of traditional Balinese layouts. Another discussion is that the shape of the roof of the building is designed following the example of local traditional housing to give an authentic touch.

EVALUATION OF WEBINAR FOLLOW-UP BY PEDIATRIC RESIDENTS DURING THE PERIOD OF COVID 19

Since the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, several countries have applied social distancing rules including quarantine. In Morocco, this measure has been in force since March 20, 2020. This has forced the closure of several scientific activities, including pediatric congresses and scientific days. To compensate for this, webinars have taken center stage in this time of global pandemic. The aim of our work is to assess pediatric residents perception of continuing medical education via webinars during COVID-19, and to find out how they see the organization of future scientific events. A survey was carried out among pediatric residents at CHU Med VI in Marrakech via the Google Forms platform. The average age of residents was 30, with a predominance of women. 44% of pediatric residents were bothered or very bothered by the suspension of face-to-face scientific events. A total of 33% of pediatric residents attended an average of 15 webinars during the pandemic, and 24% of them found the experience interesting. Overall, the reasons for not viewing the webinars were, in 28% of cases, coincidence with on-call duty and, in 16%, unsuitable scheduling. The majority were satisfied with the content presented, the choice of webinar themes and the choice of speakers. The worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 has put the spotlight on webinars, which are an interesting alternative for continuing medical education but can never replace a face-to-face scientific meeting, according to the residents.

Practices of Planetary Relationality in Colum McCann’s Apeirogon

For a number of critics, what we are witnessing in postmillennial Anglophone fiction is an attempt to do away with postmodern posturings of ironic distance and ethical non-commitment, and a renewed interest in questions of authenticity, empathy, responsibility and solidarity. According to Christian Moraru, one of the keenest chroniclers of contemporary culture, the shift is rooted in an understanding of the world as an interconnected system of relationality, which the critic discusses under the headings of cosmodernism and planetarity. Moraru locates the premise of this evolving cultural project in its ethical call for “a new togetherness, for a solidarity across political, ethnic, racial, religious, and other boundaries” (Cosmodernism 5), but recognizes it as leaving its imprint on the aesthetic and thematic choices made by contemporary authors. The aim of the paper is to analyze Colum McCann’s 2020 novel, Apeirogon, as indebted to this planetary vision of relationality. In particular, my intention is to trace the impact of this mindset on the narrative structure and the imaginary of the novel.

Visual Representation of War Themes in American Cinema - A Case Study of the Evolution of War Films

Throughout American cinematic history, war-themed films have captivated audiences with their distinctive visual representation. Since the release of the first war film in 1951, war movies gradually evolved to become an essential genre within American cinema. These films not only entertain but also convey the cruelty of war, the fragility of human nature, and the preciousness of peace through visual storytelling. This paper delves into three distinct periods: the early development, mid-development, and contemporary development stages, analyzing the evolution and visual representation of American war films, along with their impact on audiences and society. Furthermore, they reflect the prevailing values and political stances of their time and, with the evolving society, gradually target female audiences, influencing film creation and thematic choices. This study aims to offer insights into the visual representation of American war-themed films and their effects on audiences and society, providing valuable references to understand the significance and role of war films in American cinematic history.

Rhythmic Complexity of Graduate Students’ Written Assignments: An Analysis of Their Thematic Choices

The majority of the work on academic writing has focused on methods to analyse students' views of and attitudes towards writing. However, research on students' perceptions of the impact of their choices on the clarity and quality of their texts remains scant. This study used a content analysis approach to analyse graduate students’ written assignments across academic genres to understand their thematic choices, and the choices’ rhythmic effects and communicative functions. Further, it employed a grounded theory approach to examine students’ perception of the effect of their thematic choices on their assignments’ rhythmic complexity. Inspired by Martin and Rose’s (2007) semantic approach to Systematic Functional Linguistics, the study analysed 108 written assignments and conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 students. According to the findings, the assignments commonly included topical and unmarked themes, and students used different types of themes to control the rhythmic complexity and structure of the texts. Additionally, students used different thematic structures to achieve different communicative objectives, which in turn motivated them to use complex thematic patterns. Finally, students' perceptions were affected by their writing proficiency, academic and genre knowledge, linguistic background, stylistic preferences, and learning experiences.

Mythological References in Ausonius’ Epistolary

Ausonius’ letters constitute a specimen of the way he employs references to Greek mythology. The process by which Ausonius reworks mythological material fol- lows patterns that were already well established in the Latin literary tradition of re-working Greek sources. The recycling of such material is not only proof of his technical prowess, but also demonstrates his ability to perform precise thematic choices. Frequently, the use of mythology is part of the metaliterary and metapoetic discourses tackled by Ausonius while addressing his friends as recipients of letters. The analysis of individual letters reveals how the poet used mythological references for two main purposes. The first is to elevate the tone and content of the discourse, employing a series of artificial comparisons with mythical characters and events. Brief mythological references used to formulate playful numerical periphrases are also worth noting here. The second aim is encomiastic, namely the celebration of his friends, the recipients of his letters, who are transferred from everyday reality to the higher level of the mythical dimension and the superhuman sphere.

Legal Relationship Between Platform Service Providers and Online Transportation Driver as Gig Workers (Platform Workers)

This research aims to determine the classification of legal relationships between platform service providers and online transportation drivers as gig workers (platform workers). The choice of theme is motivated by the fact that so far the legal relationship that occurs between platform service providers and online transportation drivers is a partnership relationship, but the partnership relationship that occurs does not implement the principles of partnership in its implementation in the business world. This partnership cooperation relationship is not regulated in the Law Number 20 of 2008 regarding Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises or the Indonesian labour law because the Indonesian labour law only recognizes working relationships, while in the Law Number 20 of 2008 regarding Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises because the original intent of the partnership in Law No.20/2008 is very different from the partnership relationship that is currently happening between platform service providers and online transportation drivers. Then the writing of this paper uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and an analytical approach. The legal material obtained by the author will be analyzed using descriptive analytical analysis techniques, namely a method of analyzing legal material by determining the content or meaning of legal rules in terms of partnership cooperation relationships, as well as the Civil Code. From the results of research with the above methods, the classification of legal relationships between platform service providers and online transportation drivers as gig workers (platform workers) is classified as a partnership relationship based on the Subordinate union of partnership, namely a partnership based on the merger of two or more parties that are subordinately related

A Contrastive Ecological Discourse Analysis Based on Theme System—Take Environmental Speeches from the US and UK as an Example

With the rapid development of economy, the ecological problems are becoming more serious. Ecolinguistics emerged jointly with the “ecological turn” [1] among numerous disciplines. The present research conducts a contrastive Ecological Discourse Analysis under the framework of Thematic Theory of Halliday, aiming to examine the thematic choices made in the environmental speeches from the US and UK and shed light on the implications of their respective ecological ideologies. Findings suggest that, a major part of the US’s theme selections is animated (46.4%), express a philosophy of “America first”, and therefore indicate the notion of “anthropocentrism.” More inanimate theme selections were made in the UK than in America (39.4% vs. 28.4%), showing that the British public are more considerate of their surroundings. Both nations have shown certain responsibility as economic powers in the face of serious environmental problems

Corruption And Lack Of Governance Of Natural Resources In The Democratic Republic Of Congo

This study aims to analyze the impact of corruption on the governance of natural resources in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by emphasizing the need to meet the challenge of eradicating corruption to improve the quality of governance of natural resources. natural resources, by evaluating the economic and social costs of the prevailing corruption; identifying its main forms as well as its determinants. To achieve the objectives assigned to it, the study opted for the hypothetico-deductive approach with a view to constructing a model to explain the interaction between corruption and governance of natural resources, representative of relevant field data. It adopted the qualitative approach, essentially articulated around the qualitative survey (interviews) with actors involved in the governance of natural resources, focusing on aspects such as forms of corruption; the explanatory factors of bad governance, the economic and social costs of corrupt practices in the natural resources sector. Respondents noted the permanent involvement of government officials and executives in the process of issuing exploration and explanation permits by offering mining operators their support, of course subject to payment of remuneration and/or collection of undue fees. The scientific interest of the study stems from its originality in the choice of theme, the interaction between corruption and the governance of natural resources.

Theme in spoken language: when a tone group is not a clause

Abstract While there is a clear tendency for a Theme not to occur within its own tone group, it is equally clear that clauses are frequently formed out of more than a single tone group. Hence it is precipitous to assume an a priori relationship between clause and tone group/information unit. Speakers in pursuit of their individual communicative choices manage their interactional and informational needs by producing prosodic and thematic choices appropriate to their goals. Such choices as we have seen are frequently mutually re-enforcing, but speakers may employ prosodic choices which foreground their interactional needs. Specifically, this entails that there is no direct relationship between lexico-grammatical and prosodic meanings; both redound with semantic meanings. Yet, these meanings may be constrained by the interactional demands of the communicative situation in which a speaker operates. In this paper, I examine the spoken realisation of Interpersonal Theme and find that Interpersonal Themes realized by Mood adjuncts and metaphors of modality tended to be realized with different key. Similarly, the expectation that marked Theme was likely to attract high key was found to be subject to the speaker’s need to manage the interaction.

The Influence of Olfactory and Visual Stimuli on Students’ Performance and Mood in Virtual Reality Environment

Exposure to sensory stimuli such as aromatherapy and immersion in Virtual Reality (VR) has shown impacts on task performance and emotional state. In this study, we examined the effects of stimuli types (olfactory, visual, and both) and themes (forest and café) in a VR environment to improve students’ performance and mood. While both the stimuli type and theme had no influence on the performance of the Stroop Test, providing olfactory with visual stimuli did increase the level of awakeness compared to providing visuals only or olfactory only. The choice of theme was an important factor in affecting mood; presenting the forest theme made participants feel better, more awake, and calmer compared to presenting the café theme. No interaction effect of stimuli and the theme was observed in any of the studied measurements. More complex tasks should be further tested to see whether aforementioned stimuli can have effects on students’ performance.

THE PRIMARY ISSUES WITH OF FINANCING AND MANAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC AND SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA

The governments of the Republic of Armenia have assigned both substantive and formal approaches to scientific and scientific-technical activities. Here, a scientific and educational system is currently in place, with both numerous issues and potential for growth. The state system perspective on scientific and scientific-technical operations in Armenia has dramatically evolved, particularly over the previous three to four years. The state budget now includes a large increase in funding for scientific and scientific-technological activities. However, the existing issues that require solutions in the management system of the sector do not provide an opportunity to ensure progress in the development of more important directions of applied relevance. The challenges of funding creative research in the scientific and scientific-technical fields were studied in this paper along with recommendations for their resolution. It was advised to make sure that independent and nominated programs were well-balanced and that the choice of scientific themes was transparent.

FORSTER’S ITALIAN NOVELS AS A TESTGROUND FOR A PASSAGE TO INDIA

M. Forster is one of the authors whose auto-referentiality manifests itself on several levels, from the choice of themes regarding his novels and short stories, over his styllistic features, leitmotifs, symbols, and clear social engagement with concern to major global issues, to the transtextuality of his characters as, probably, the most outstanding one.
 Through the prism of some key notions of colonial/postcolonial discourse, the paper deals with Forster's 'Italian novels' (A Room with a View and Where Angels Fear to Tread) as a testground for some of the themes and motifs elaborated in A Passage to India.
