The White Knight: Batman as esoteric hero for the dissident right

This paper examines how white-nationalist and identitarian fan communities read The Dark Knight film series as a coded attack on liberal values by the secretly sympathetic writer-director Christopher Nolan. In a classic esoteric reading, white nationalists posit super villains like Ra's al Ghul and Bane as giving voice to the true message of the trilogy, namely, that liberal countries have become decadent and must be destroyed so as to give rise to archeofuturistic ethnostates. We examine the white nationalists' criticisms of traditional media critics on both the left and the right in a way that helps differentiate esoteric hermeneutics from more conventional professional critical readings. We highlight the peculiar capacity of pronoiac, fan-based esotericism to resignify and circulate pop-cultural memes for radical, right-wing ends and to do so in ways that avoid the strategies of cultural censors.

The Scent of the Scarlet Pimpernels: Ismaili Leaders of the 11 th 17 th Century.

Ismaili and anti-Ismaili sources differ dramatically in how they depict the Ismaili “inviters” (dāʿīs). To Ismaili authors, the inviters were noble, kind, and pious believers who propagated the true message of Islam, while to their detractors the inviters were sinister, unscrupulous villains. However, all agreed on one feature: the inviters generally worked discreetly and anonymously, far from the prying eyes of hostile authorities. Thus, the 11th/17th-century poem of the Ismaili Khālū Maḥmūd ʿAlī, edited and analyzed in this article, is a rarity. The poet enumerates Ismaili notables in locations scattered throughout Khurāsān, Quhistān, Badakhshān, ʿIrāq, Turkistān, and Hindūstān in a period in which we know almost nothing about the Ismailis. The article discusses the existing manuscripts of the poem and its prosody. It continues by providing a critical edition, discusses elements in the poem that reflect the literary genre of “prayers of proximity” (duʿā-yi taqarrub), and analyzes what we can deduce about the poet himself.

METODE MEMBUMIKAN TEOLOGI : TEKNIK EKSEGESE PERSPEKTIF HERMENEUTIKA

ABSTRACT
 
 The method of grounding theology is reading or listening, contemplating, understanding, interpreting, believing, and practicing the truth of the contents of the biblical text in the attitude or practice of human life or His people. Exegesis technique is a method of explaining or interpreting or interpreting in detail from various aspects the background of the content of the text in capturing the essence of the true message of the biblical text which below comes out into the practice of the attitude and behavior of human life or its people. Hermeneutics is a type of philosophy that studies the interpretation of the contents of the biblical text and provides understanding and meaning of the biblical text in the life of humans or His people. We can interpret the method of grounding theology from theological education or the principles of sound faith and teaching (I Timothy 4: 6), which is a renewal of the mind to distinguish what God's will is (Romans 12: 2). To teach biblical truth in the attitude of His people (2 Timothy 3: 14-17).Based on the exegesis of the biblical text in 1 John 2: 5-6 on the exemplary attitude of Jesus Christ. The implementation of the values ​​of truth is implemented by the guidance of the power of the Holy Spirit to be able to understand, interpret and practice true divine truths.

A Word Visualization Observation: The Hidden Meaning of the Words in Work Environments

The aim of this study is to illustrate and semantically explain how the visualization of words is helpful to create word trees, showing the connection between various, synonym words and to explore the hidden meanings behind each word in the tree, particularly to provide a true message in work environments. To do this, the authors have chosen one main word “lying” and two connected, synonymous words to it “fabrication” and “prevarication”. The words have been chosen spontaneously, by considering their employment in communications, particularly in work environments. To uncover the variety and implication of these words the study is divided into two sections: a short secondary data collection and an observational part. The short literature review accomplished by a secondary data collection highlights the importance of word visualization through different methods and tools through communications in, particularly, workplaces. And the observations in the methodology bring complimentary proof after the secondary data collection. With the use of word visualizations such as mind maps and word clouds, this study illustrates the further importance of word visualizations which opens new perspectives upon other words for diverse studies and fields as seen in the glossary, a dictionary of the words, employed in Picture 1 which is provided as an example of source presentation for future works in similar studies.

Quran Translation: A Historical-Theological Exploration

The traditional prohibition on translating the Quran into other languages is considered to be one of the discussable issues within Islamic theology and jurisprudence. From the eleventh century, when the Islamic state extended politically and geographically, a need arose to understand the Quran, which isthe essence of the Islamic religion. Most non-Arab converts were unable to understand the original Quran text. As a result, they could not understand the true message of their new faith and perform the prescribed worship and practices. This article deals with the topic translating the Quran from a historical and theological point of view. Firstly, some historical factors that lead to the realization of the Quran translation are examined, including the need to understand the Quran both by the new Muslim generations and the People of the Book to defend their own faith against the Islam. Secondly, attention is paid to the theological consensus on prohibiting translation of the Quran into other languages because of its inimitable nature and style. Finally, the problem of the Quran translation is discussed with a focus on the current need for understanding the universal message of the Quran that can only be achieved through translation.

Saudi Arabian Students’ Knowledge of the Provisions Governing Interactions between Muslims and Non-Muslims

Introduction: This study investigates the level of university students' knowledge about Islamic provisions concerning relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims. The context for this study is that of the Saudi Arabian government’s drive to combat the extremism of young male Saudis through inculcating the true message of Islam. To achieve this objective, specialist Intellectual Awareness Units (IAUs) have been set up in all Saudi Arabian universities. The rationale for the existence of these units is that such students, zealous in their faith, are more vulnerable to recruitment by extremists and terrorist organizations if they have only a superficial and distorted understanding of the humane and religiously-ordained provisions in the Quran regarding relations with non-Muslims. However, this study does not examine the workings of the Intellectual Awareness Units but rather the understanding of their clients. 
 
 Methodology: A random sample of 100 male students attending Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia, during the 2019-20 academic year, was asked to participate in a descriptive survey. A questionnaire was devised to collect information about student understanding of appropriate relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims, as specified in the Holy Quran. Six key themes were addressed in the questionnaire: general principles concerning the relationship between Muslims and others; provisions concerning imitation (of non-Muslim religious practices), contact, alliances and enmity; provisions concerning temples and churches; provisions concerning marriage and food; provisions concerning feasts and religious occasions and general provisions concerning alliances and wars. 
 
 Results: The results of the study revealed that students’ knowledge about the provisions for dealing with non-Muslims ranged from weak to medium. That is to say, knowledge about the appropriate way for Muslims to engage with non-Muslims was far from universal. Knowledge on marriage and food provisions scored most highly with an average of 60.3%, of students answering questions on this topic correctly whilst knowledge on provisions pertaining to Temples and Churches ranked lowest with a rate of 36.5%. The overall average for all issues was 48.9%.
 
 Conclusion: If it is considered that extremism is based upon a superficial and distorted understanding of the Quran and that the level of knowledge displayed by the study sample is typical of young men in Saudi Arabia then the IAUs still have much work to do. The results of this research will be invaluable to the IAUs because it will enable them to supply more nuanced information and activities to their target audience.

Metastable hybridization-based DNA information storage to allow rapid and permanent erasure

The potential of DNA as an information storage medium is rapidly growing due to advances in DNA synthesis and sequencing. However, the chemical stability of DNA challenges the complete erasure of information encoded in DNA sequences. Here, we encode information in a DNA information solution, a mixture of true message- and false message-encoded oligonucleotides, and enables rapid and permanent erasure of information. True messages are differentiated by their hybridization to a "truth marker” oligonucleotide, and only true messages can be read; binding of the truth marker can be effectively randomized even with a brief exposure to the elevated temperature. We show 8 separate bitmap images can be stably encoded and read after storage at 25 °C for 65 days with an average of over 99% correct information recall, which extrapolates to a half-life of over 15 years at 25 °C. Heating to 95 °C for 5 minutes, however, permanently erases the message.

A Self-Learning Information Diffusion Model for Smart Social Networks

In this big data era, more and more social activities are digitized thereby becoming traceable, and thus the studies of social networks attract increasing attention from academia. It is widely believed that social networks play important role in the process of information diffusion. However, the opposite question, i.e., how does information diffusion process rebuild social networks, has been largely ignored. In this paper, we propose a new framework for understanding this reversing effect. Specifically, we first introduce a novel information diffusion model on social networks, by considering two types of individuals, i.e., smart and normal individuals, and two kinds of messages, true and false messages. Since social networks consist of human individuals, who have self-learning ability, in such a way that the trust of an individual to one of its neighbors increases (or decreases) if this individual received a true (or false) message from that neighbor. Based on such a simple self-learning mechanism, we prove that a social network can indeed become smarter, in terms of better distinguishing the true message from the false one. Moreover, we observe the emergence of social stratification based on the new model, i.e., the true messages initially posted by an individual closer to the smart one can be forwarded by more others, which is enhanced by the self-learning mechanism. We also find the crossover advantage , i.e., interconnection between two chain networks can make the related individuals possessing higher social influences, i.e., their messages can be forwarded by relatively more others. We obtained these results theoretically and validated them by simulations, which help better understand the reciprocity between social networks and information diffusion.

INDONESIAN LANGUAGES AS A MEANING OF CULTURAL CROSS-CULTURE COMMUNICATION IN MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES

Indonesia is one of the largest multicultural countries in the world. The plurality, horizontally various groups of people who are now categorized as Indonesian people can be divided into various ethnic groups, groups of speakers of certain languages, or into groups of adherents of different religious teachings. Whereas vertically, the various community groups can be distinguished based on modes of production which lead to differences in their adaptability. The truth of this statement can be seen from the socio-cultural and geographical conditions that are so diverse and broad. From the perspective of communication, as part of a multicultural society, so far there has been no meaningful cross-cultural communication, which can provide space for human relations in minimizing cultural errors. The interaction between individuals and between cultural groups so far has been nothing more than pseudo, not genuine communication. In such circumstances, communication is just lip service. Communication does not convey the true message. The demand for meaningful cross-cultural communication requires the need for language engineering that leads to the vitality of codes, status, and language education. Language engineering is expected to be able to provide its function and role in creating cross-cultural communication in multicultural societies. Its implementation is expected to be seen especially in the realm of education which respects pluralism, democracy, and humanism. Meaningfulness in communication occurs when a person: (1) pays attention to situations and contexts, (2) is open to new information, and (3) realizes that there is more than one perspective.

The Role of Media in Islamic Da’wah in a Plural Society

This paper examines the role of media in Islamic Da’wah in a multiracial society. Allah Almighty has declared that the excellence of Muslim Ummah lies in propagating the true message of Islam to humanity. It may be concluded that to retain the title of excellence, Muslims have to carry and delivered the message of Islam. For this purpose, Muslims have to utilize possible means including modern media and communication. Nowadays, the media industry has brought a glorious revolution in propagating any messages and news. Therefore, media can be the great necessity of Islamic preachers to do the work of da’wah in a multiracial society. It can play a vital role in delivering the message of Islam. This article tends to investigate the various modes of communication which can help in Islamic da’wah activities in a multicultural society and multiracial culture.

PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ANALISIS OF GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE OF LIE MASSEGE

The article is devoted of problem definition of effective ways detection of lie, which are used for analysis in verbal components. Theoretical analysis described main ways of detection. They are verbal and nonverbal components. We have defined that nonverbal components were most criticism and are not enough reliable for lie detection, also authors of these method thought so. We have formulated the hypothesis that structure of lie massage can be change due to violation of textual cohesion during its making. During lie speaking a mental image will be different, because an author have to dream up text now, in contrast a true message. True image is in memory of individua. These factors less depend by emotional conditions, as nonverbal components, because they base on cognitive component of person. In the psycholinguistic researches we have highlighted main verbal features of lie, which were grouped in four classes. They consist of speech errors (reservation, word repetitions, word corrections), special speech constructions (contextual inserts, slang, nonpersonal constructions, description of other’s actions, unusual details), change of general structure of text (logical violence, thematical transmissions, avoid of theme), change of dualization (increase or decrease details, generalization, using direct speech. synonym). With the aim of check for hypothesis we have realized an experiment, which were analyzed true and lie messages of people. As result we found that these criteria can be used as diagnostical criteria, but they have different reliable level. In lie massages nonpersonal construction are used more often, make word correction, dualization (increase and decrease number of details). There are big violence of logic, tendential to decrease of text volume. After correlation we defined two types of liar. They are extraverted and introverted. Which have differences in communication skills, level of logic and detailed.

Unraveling the asymmetry of Mona Lisa smile

The Mona Lisa portrait, by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Over the years, there have been a number of debated topics on the painting, including the valence of the emotion expressed on her face. Nevertheless, the most recent interpretations agree that Mona Lisa expression is happiness. The smile asymmetry of Mona Lisa is another remarkable feature of the painting. We here asked forty-two healthy raters to judge which of the six basic emotions (or neutral expression) was expressed by the chimeric images of the left or right lower hemi face. We collected chosen responses, confidence levels and reaction times. Our results indicate that happiness is expressed only on the left side. According to some influent theories of emotion neuropsychology, we here interpreted the Mona Lisa asymmetric smile as a non-genuine smile, also thought to occur when the subject lies. Given that Leonardo was a great observer of human physiognomy we speculate on the intriguing possibility that Leonardo already knew the true meaning of asymmetric smile. Thus, Mona Lisa asymmetric smile could represent a stratagem Leonardo deliberately used to hold cryptic and enigmatic messages. Although the Mona Lisa smile continues to attract the attention of its observers, the true message it conveys remains elusive and many unsolved mysteries remain to be elucidated, perhaps via the knowledge of emotion neuropsychology.

A Scholarly Study on the Departure of the Last Ten among the Sahaba (R.A)

The term of Sahaba refers to the companions, disciples, scribes and family of the holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The most widespread definition of a companion is someone who met Muhammad, believed in him,remained faithful and died as a Muslim. Sahaba struggled their best to spread Islam through out the world. They are not like ordinary people according to Islam, they are considered to be the most prominent and superior among all human beings after Prophets. Therefore Strong feeling of affection for them is the truthfulness towards the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and it is the symbol of faith. There are thousands of Sahaba who struggled their best to spread the true message of Islam, however hardly anyone knows about the last one? In this article we will discuss about the last ten Sahaba. Keywords: Umama, Anas bin Malik, Muhamm’ad, Sahaba

Message propagation in the network based on node credibility

In the propagation efficiency point of view, the node credibility is introduced in this paper. For the message receiver, the node would partially believe the message according to the credibility of the propagator. For a node, the credibility is variable. The more the true message spread, the higher the credibility, and vice versa, the credibility becomes smaller. Based on the idea, a new network was established with the node credibility. Finally, a comparing experiment between the fully trusted network and the network with the node credibility was implemented. The results indicate that the spread effect of messages is better in the network with the node credibility.

ICT mediated rumor beliefs and resulting user actions during a community crisis

In the context of Internet and Communications Technology (ICT), this research investigates the acceptance of hate rumor and its consequence during a community crisis situation. Extending prior rumor research for this context, we develop and test a refined model using data collected from victims of a large scale (hate) rumor spread incident. Our data analyses present three main findings. First, during the crisis situation, platform characteristics of media synchronicity and richness of expression affected the likelihood of rumor recipients believing the false rumor to be a true message. Second, rumors received from people with closer social ties were more likely to be believed as true. Third, rumor belief during the crisis was associated with greater intensity of informational and behavioral actions. Our findings provide governments with insights to mitigate the spread of hate rumor especially under community disaster situations. Implications for research and policy are discussed. This paper contributes to the IS literature on rumor theory and its implications by explaining how diverse communication technologies are used in a community crisis, thereby opening new avenue for future research to address the negative consequences of using communication media in the complex ICT mediated world. It shows how media characteristics along with social ties affect the “politics of plausibility”.

On the Reason Why Keynes Brought Together All the Elements of His IS-LP(LM) Model in Chapter 21: He Had to Cover the Foundation Supplied by the D-Z Model of Chapter 20 First

Keynes carefully supplied a series of building blocks in the construction of his General Theory. Keynes’s Theory of Effective Demand consisted of two interrelated models. They are, first, the IS-LP(LM) model that determines the rate of interest and second, the D-Z model of expected aggregate demand (D) and expected aggregate supply (Z). Y, realized or actual aggregate demand, will be one of the set of all possible, expected D-Z (D=Z) outcomes that was introduced briefly in chapter 3 of the General Theory, where Keynes provided a brief outline of the theory he would fully develop in later chapters. The IS-LP(LM) model is based on the Liquidity Preference Function, derived on page 199 of chapter 15 after being introduced in chapter 13 and 14, and the Consumption function and Investment Multiplier functions, derived from chapter 10 following his introductory analysis related to the Consumption function in chapters 8 and 9. The Investment function is analyzed as a function of rate of interest and expectations regarding expected future prices and profits in chapters 11 and 12. Chapters 16 and 17 generalize the Liquidity Preference analysis of chapter 15 to all assets. Keynes does not present his mathematical model of D and Z, which he briefly introduced in chapter 3, until chapter 20. This chapter 20 model supplies the aggregate production function, theory of the firm (purely competitive), analysis of expected prices and profits, multiple equilibria, and necessary and sufficient optimality conditions needed to obtain the crucial condition that the expected real wage equaled the marginal product of labor. Chapter 20 deals with the output and labor markets. Keynes is now in position to bring together all of the elements of the IS-LP(LM) model in sections 4 and 5 of chapter 21 and then connect his results to chapter 20 by formally incorporating his money market analysis mathematically in section 6 of chapter 21. The Y variable has now explicitly been derived and supported with clear cut microeconomic foundations. Y appears in both the IS equation and LM equation. Both determine the rate of interest. The specific IS-LP(LM) equilibrium in (r, Y) space, of which there are many, since Keynes’s version of IS-LP(LM) incorporated expectations and uncertainty, will be in one to one correspondence with exactly one of the set of all possible D=Z outcomes specified by the Aggregate Supply Curve. The set or locus of all expected D=Z outcomes was derived in chapter 20 and called the Aggregate Supply Curve. D and Z were introduced in chapter 3. Keynes is now finished with the presentation of the General Theory. He spends four additional pages of Section Four of chapter 21 discussing the possible deficiencies in his IS-LP(LM) model that are due to possible interactions with other relevant variables that were not formally specified in his IS-LP(LM) model, but which are included in the D-Z model. Chapters 4-7 are correctly described by Keynes as digressions from his structured approach that add nothing to the formal development of his general theory. Chapters 22-24 examine how the General theory can be implemented. The most important part of these chapters is on pages 377-379, where Keynes puts forth his proposal for a Keynesian – Neoclassical synthesis. This was ignored by all economists of the 1930’s-1940’s. Chapter 18 is a literary summary of the IS-LP(LM) model only that does not incorporate the technical details provided in chapter 20 and 21. The appendix to chapter 19, where Keynes compared his chapter 20 and 21 models to Pigou’s, makes it clear that Pigou, and Modigliani, had only one equilibrium in the output market. Chapters 2 and 19 deal with Pigou and the money wage issue and are not part of Keynes’s formal models. The piece meal approach that economists take to reading Keynes’s GT is exemplified by Coddington’s 1976 Journal of Economic Literature article which provides a division of Keynesian readers into three different, conflicting categories, depending on the particular chapters picked from the GT by these readers which is being emphasized as providing the one, true message of the General Theory. Each category claims that Keynes’s “true” message can be found in the particular chapters that they have highlighted. The three Keynesian categories are Hydraulic, Fundamentalist, and Reconstituted Reductionist. In reality, Keynes, in the GT, is using all three of these characterizations of his work. For example, the labor market is in disequilibrium as determined by the output market, which is characterized as one of multiple equilibria. Keynes’s holistic approach can’t be broken up into different, disconnected parts if a reader is interested in understanding what Keynes really meant to say. What Keynes really meant to say is contained in all of the chapters in the General Theory.

Exploring Students' Use of Feedback During Occupational Therapy Level II Fieldwork Experiences

Researchers confirmed that the use of feedback assists with the improvement of students’ confidence and performance. Multiple studies focus on the provision and acceptance of feedback; however, it was not known if, or how, students internalized the feedback to apply it successfully. Since there is a difference between providing feedback and the interpretation of its true message, this phenomenon was studied to add empirical knowledge regarding students’ feedback interpretation. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of how students interpret information received from Level II fieldwork educators and what meanings students attributed to the feedback. The use of phenomenological methodology guided the collection of information-rich data through reflective statements and semi-structured interviews. Twenty-three occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant graduates volunteered to participate in the interviews. Verbatim transcripts were coded to identify themes and patterns. Participants identified indicators verifying the correct application of feedback, as well as situations affecting the interpretation and application of feedback provided during an experiential learning opportunity. The findings facilitate guidance for educators and students to understand factors that could affect feedback application.
