Axiological Approach in Pedagogy in the Context of the Problems of Semiotics of Culture

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the value consciousness of students with the aim of finding out to what extent they have assimilated spiritual values ​​and thanks to which authoritative sources these values ​​have penetrated into their mind. Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the principles of cultural semiotics. Lotman claimed that in the symbolic type of culture, the part is homeomorphic to the whole. This principle is applied to education. It is considered as a part reflecting the processes occurring in society as a whole. Method: The article is written on the material of a survey of first-year students of The Kosygin State University of Russia. Results and Discussion: Students assess themselves as knowing the commandments, even if they do not know their wordings. Family communication has become the main source of moral ideas for them. According to the laws of semiotics formulated by Lotman, axiology in school is homeomorphic one to state ideology. In developed countries there are no state axiology and state ideologies, because they are perceived as the source of civilizational catastrophes of the twentieth century. This gives rise to a crisis in the field of pedagogy. Research Implications: The results of the research can be applied in pedagogy. The empty niche of state axiology is incompatible with the laws of semiotics. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the pedagogical literature. by. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the need to overcome the crisis in the field of pedagogy.

The effect of field cognitive style on false memories of Chinese characters in postadolescents

The present study aims to explore the influence of field cognitive style on the false memory of Chinese characters. Based on the related literature, this paper used Cognitive Style Figure Test (CSFT) to investigate the field cognitive style of college student and test the differences of field cognitive style in demographic variables. Using the DRM paradigm, with Chinese characters lists as experimental material. This study was to inspect whether Chinese semantic/tonetic association has any effect on false memory, and whether there is any interaction between field cognitive style and Chinese character component on it. The results showed that: (a) there were significant differences between male and female in the recognition rate of symbol types, with the recognition rate of tonetic symbol type characters being generally higher than that of semantic symbol type; (b) Chinese semantic/tonetic associations had an effect on false memory and gender has a significant difference in the recognition of critical-lures; (c) field cognitive style had no statistically significant difference in recognition rate on character component type and characters type (old characters, filler characters, and critical-lures); (d) individuals with different field cognitive styles differed significantly in the rate of misrecognition of critical-lures for semantic symbols.

Design and Evaluation of Controller-Based Raycasting Methods for Efficient Alphanumeric and Special Character Entry in Virtual Reality.

Alphanumeric and special characters are essential during text entry. Text entry in virtual reality (VR) is usually performed on a virtual Qwerty keyboard to minimize the need to learn new layouts. As such, entering capitals, symbols, and numbers in VR is often a direct migration from a physical/touchscreen Qwerty keyboard-that is, using the mode-switching keys to switch between different types of characters and symbols. However, there are inherent differences between a keyboard in VR and a physical/touchscreen keyboard, and as such, a direct adaptation of mode-switching via switch keys may not be suitable for VR. The high flexibility afforded by VR opens up more possibilities for entering alphanumeric and special characters using the Qwerty layout. In this work, we designed two controller-based raycasting text entry methods for alphanumeric and special characters input (Layer-ButtonSwitch and Key-ButtonSwitch) and compared them with two other methods (Standard Qwerty Keyboard and Layer-PointSwitch) that were derived from physical and soft Qwerty keyboards. We explored the performance and user preference of these four methods via two user studies (one short-term and one prolonged use), where participants were instructed to input text containing alphanumeric and special characters. Our results show that Layer-ButtonSwitch led to the highest statistically significant performance, followed by Key-ButtonSwitch and Standard Qwerty Keyboard, while Layer-PointSwitch had the slowest speed. With continuous practice, participants' performance using Key-ButtonSwitch reached that of Layer-ButtonSwitch. Further, the results show that the key-level layout used in Key-ButtonSwitch led users to parallel mode switching and character input operations because this layout showed all characters on one layer. We distill three recommendations from the results that can help guide the design of text entry techniques for alphanumeric and special characters in VR.

Profiles of preschoolers' numerical abilities across quantity representations.

Children's early numerical abilities shape their trajectories for math learning throughout schooling, and task quantity representation (e.g., nonsymbolic vs. symbolic) affects their reasoning about numerical concepts. The role of quantity representation in early numerical ability has typically been studied using variable-centered approaches. The present study builds on past work by using latent profile analysis as a person-centered approach to investigate heterogeneity in U.S. preschoolers' (N = 200, Mage = 4 years, 6 months) numerical abilities across nonsymbolic, verbal symbolic, and written symbolic representation types. The aim was to determine whether numerical ability indicators across the three representation types would result in empirically distinct ability profiles and whether preschool ability profile would predict variance on a standardized assessment of math achievement a year later, in kindergarten. We found evidence of four distinct preschool number ability profiles: (a) consistently low; (b) consistently high; (c) intermediate, with an advantage on nonsymbolic items; and (d) intermediate, with an advantage on verbal symbolic items. Although children in the consistently low and consistently high profiles performed reliably lower and higher, respectively, on the assessment of kindergarten math achievement, the two intermediate profiles performed similarly. The results reveal heterogeneity in preschool numerical ability across quantity representations and suggest that proficiency with either nonsymbolic or verbal representations may be a helpful foundation for building future math achievement.

Study on Symbol Selection Ability According to AAC Symbol Types for Patients with Dementia of Alzheimer’s Type

Objectives: This study aimed to establish evidence for effective (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) AAC intervention approaches for patients with dementia of Alzheimer’s type (DAT) by examining whether the severity of dementia and the symbol type used in AAC tools affect symbol selection. Additionally, we aimed to investigate the relationship between symbol selection ability and language and cognitive abilities. Methods: Twenty-one normal elderly individuals, 17 patients diagnosed with mild DAT, and 20 patients with moderate to severe DAT were recruited. A symbol selection task was conducted using the Augmentative and Alternative Communication Symbol Assessment Tool (AAC-SAT). Participants selected target symbols on the screen consisting of graphic symbols, photos, and written words in response to auditory prompts given by the examiner. Data from the tasks were statistically analyzed for accuracy and response time, and correlation analyses were conducted for cognitive and language abilities. Results: The moderate to severe DAT group showed significantly lower accuracy and longer response times in symbol selection compared to the mild DAT group and normal elderly group. Upon examining each group separately, both mild and moderate to severe DAT groups showed no symbol type that was advantageous for symbol selection. However, the rapid response to photos observed in mild DAT group disappeared in the moderate to severe DAT group. Additionally, the symbol selection ability of DAT patients significantly deteriorated as language and cognitive abilities declined. Conclusion: Appropriate symbol types for AAC aimed at facilitating effective communication considering the language and cognitive abilities of DAT patients were suggested, and the findings of this study were compared with the claims made by previous research.

Interpreting the Nasib Kulo Song of Kemas Anwar Beck in Bebaso (Semiotics Study)

A song is composed of a series of tones that form a melody and support musical elements. It uses the tones of a human voice to beautifully and meaningfully express thoughts or feelings The combination of a song with a lively poem (text) can stir up a lot of emotions in the audience and have a major effect on their soul. This study aims to explore the emotions evoked by Kemas Anwar Beck’s lyrics for his song Nasib Kulo and how his experiences show up in using language and wordplay to give his lyrics a unique and appealing quality. The study focuses on analyzing the content of the song lyrics and interpreting their meaning in a qualitative descriptive manner. A semiotic theory is used to decipher the meaning of the lyrics that were penned in polite Palembang Alus language. Moreover, a musicology approach is also used to analyze the musical form. The results show that the song Nasib Kulo uses two types of symbols, namely, verbal meaning in the form of poetry or lyrics and non-verbal meaning in the form of song elements, that is, chord progression, melody, tempo, and dynamics. As a result of the creativity of the artist, the mindset of life conception and lifestyle are reflected in his artwork. In conclusion, the song Nasib Kulo that is written in Palembang Alus language is very influential for individuals and communities. Keywords: interpretation, Nasib Kulo song, semiotics, artists, Palembang Alus

Composition of the Russian armonymic field and its dynamics

The article is devoted to the study of the history of the formation of Russian proper names of aviation and armored military equipment. Our research has shown that the main function of Russian armonyms – the proper names of Russian weapons – is the representative identification of types and brands of weapons produced at state-owned enterprises or unique mechanisms. Armonyms as verbal identifiers of complex military-technical mechanisms function in professional or publicistic discourse. The structure of the armonymic field includes verbal index signs marking types and series of weapons that correspond to the term pragmatonyms (T-90M «Breakthrough»), and proper names of unique weapons objects - chrematonyms (Tu–160 «Ilya Muromets»). The nominations of individual combat units can form armonymic complexes, for example, one of the Tu-160 strategic bombers of the White Swan series has an individual name «Nikolai Kuznetsov». In the process of the official naming of Russian high-tech combat units, the conventionally symbolic and commemorative principles of nomination traditionally occupy a central place. The composition of the armonym is dominated by the conditionally symbolic type of names, as a rule, not motivated by the properties of the named object (UAV «Geranium»), although some names retain an associative connection with the objects of the nomination (UAV «Lancet» – a high-precision kamikaze drone); the memorative type of names is characteristic of individual names of military vehicles (Tu-160 «Igor Sikorsky»). Official nominations occupy the main place in the Russian field of armonymy; however, some of the names may have an unofficial status, for example, the nicknames of the T-80BV tank Alyosha – «Ded Moroz», or «Ded». Armonyms are not a tool for the advertising promotion of weapons, they do not have an attractive and pragmatic function, however, the choice of words is far from accidental – in general, it reflects the symbolic value orientations of the nominating team.

Quantifying the Relationship Between Unilateral Induced Metamorphopsia and Stereopsis Impairment.

To investigate the relationship between unilateral metamorphopsia, characterized by visual distortions in one eye, and impaired stereopsis. Utilizing both near and distance measurements through advanced testing systems, including 4K smartphones and an active shutter three-dimensional system, we simulated varying degrees of unilateral metamorphopsia in 30 healthy young adults aged between 21 and 29years. Two types of contour-based stereotest symbols, lines and squares, were developed. Distortions were classified into six distinct patterns, each further divided into eight grades of severity. Participants were tasked with identifying visual targets, and their stereothresholds were determined under different conditions of induced distortion. Stereopsis was measured within a range of 2.9 to 1.0 log arcsec, at 0.2 log arcsec intervals. Stereopsis changes under different distortion scenarios were analyzed using the generalized estimating equations, with a sequential Bonferroni adjustment applied for pairwise comparisons. A direct and quantifiable correlation was observed between the severity of metamorphopsia and reductions in stereopsis. As the degree of visual distortion increased, notably in both frequency and amplitude, there was a corresponding decline in stereopsis. This relationship held true in both near and distance measurements of stereopsis. Statistical analyses further reinforced these findings, highlighting a significant detrimental effect of distortion components on stereoacuity. The findings highlight the clinical significance of understanding the interplay between unilateral metamorphopsia and stereopsis. Early interventions in conditions leading to metamorphopsia might be critical to maintaining optimal stereopsis.

3-Complex Symmetric and Complex Normal Weighted Composition Operators on the Weighted Bergman Spaces of the Half-Plane

One of the aims of this paper is to characterize 3-complex symmetric weighted composition operators induced by three types of symbols on the weighted Bergman space of the right half-plane with the conjugation Jf(z)=f(z¯)¯. It is well known that the complex symmetry is equivalent to 2-complex symmetry for the weighted composition operators studied in the paper. However, the interesting fact that 3-complex symmetry is not equivalent to 2-complex symmetry for such operators is found in the paper. Finally, the complex normal of such operators on the weighted Bergman space of the right half-plane with the conjugation J is characterized.

Charles S. Pierce's Semiotic Study of the Last Days in QS. Al-Haqqah: Trichotomy Relations (Icons, Indexes and Symbols)

This research aims to examine the meaning of the Day of Judgment in Surah Al-Haqqah and analyze the vocabulary within it through Peirce’s semiotic study. According to Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotics, signs based on their relationship with their objects are divided into three categories: icons, indexes, and symbols. Surah Al-Haqqah depicts a highly tense atmosphere and narrates the consequences for those who disobey in the world. It clearly illustrates human actions, both good and bad, as no creature can hide from His presence. This research employs a qualitative approach. The analysis reveals that out of the fifty-two verses in Surah Al-Haqqah, there are six quotations related to the Day of Judgment categorized as icons. Additionally, there are ten index quotations scattered throughout the surah. Finally, among the fifty-two verses, the most frequently found type of symbol is found in seventeen verses.

The sound of the Italian comic book: Representing noises, senses, and emotions across 80 years

Abstract This article will describe the long-time use of sound symbolic forms (including ideophones and interjections) in Italian Disney comic book publications, from the 1930s until recent times. This is achieved through the diachronic analysis of ∼4,700 entries coming from a corpus of sound symbolic forms as compiled by the author, taken from 210 Disney stories. Each of the entries was classified according to five different sound symbolic types based on the event, scenario, or situation they referred to. This analysis will provide an ideal chance to comment on several features exploited in the creation and use of sound symbolic forms and will be offered together with elucidations on a few under-researched areas within the linguistic study of sound symbolism. Quantitative data will be provided on (1) the lexical status of these forms, (2) their language of origin, and (3) the frequency of the five sound symbolic types. Additional commentary will also be offered on the various lexical and phonaesthetic experimentations featured in the comic strips. The results will be based on the comparison of the data coming from the corpus with existing research on these topics.

The research aims to aanalysis of Amish’s ppurity ssymbols in “Plain Truth” Novel by Jody Picoult. This research used descriptive qualitative method and semiotic approach in analyzing purity symbol. This research used Pierce’s theory and combine with Kennedy’s symbol theory. The instrument of the research is using note taking from the novel. The results of this research prove that there are three different types of symbols in novel Plain Truth, such as: Character, Object and, Action, while symbol of purity portray such as: Character explain who commit the purity, like Aaron Fisher, Object explained the purity of the object like beard man, Amish woman outfits, and buggy and horses.

Influence of quadrature transformation imbalance on the noise immunity of signal reception with amplitude-phase shift keying

Objectives. At the present time, amplitude-phase shift keyed (APSK) signals are actively used in satellite communication systems. In particular, they are applied in systems which operate in a limited radio frequency spectrum with increased data transmission quality requirements. Such systems use multi-channel type receivers with maximum likelihood decision on the received symbol (correlation receiver) or quadrature type receivers. The noise immunity of these receivers is directly dependent on the quality of the formation of reference oscillations. These oscillations are reference signals for correlation receivers and in-phase and quadrature components for quadrature receivers. The aim of the work is to analyze the influence of the amplitude and phase parameter spread of the in-phase and quadrature channels on the noise immunity of receiving APSK signals with a circular shape of the signal constellation.Methods. Methods of statistical radio engineering, theory of optimal signal reception, and computer simulation are used.Results. The study established the characteristics of noise immunity of the APSK signal reception depending on the spread of parameters of the quadrature converter. The theoretical calculations were confirmed by the results of modeling the transmission of APSK signals in a Gaussian communication channel. A comparison with systems using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) was carried out, in order to assess system stability in the presence of spread parameters among other similar systems.Conclusions. The studies enabled us to conclude that an imbalance of the quadrature reference oscillations can lead to a significant decrease in the noise immunity of radio systems using APSK signals. The minimum energy loss due to imbalance of quadrature reference oscillations is achieved when the imbalance value is less than 10% in amplitude and 2°–3° in phase. The amplitude imbalance of quadrature reference oscillations when receiving QAM signals is more pronounced than in the case of APSK signals. The phase imbalance affects approximately the same.

The David-Benjaminites Episodes (2 Sam 16:1–14; 19:16–31): The Conflict between the Golah Community and the Benjaminites

Abstract In this article, we first argue that the David-Benjaminites episodes (2 Sam 16:1–14 and 19:16–31) can be read in the Persian conflict context based on “exclusive inclusivity.” Second, we examine the validity of reading the episodes together and demonstrate their textual combination through inclusio. Third, we analyze the literary and historical implications of the three different Benjaminites’ changing actions toward David and, conversely, David and Abishai’s dialog about them. Fourth, we propose that the various aspects of the three Saulide characters’ reactions to David reflect the Benjaminites’ changing actions in the postexilic period and that the reactions of David and Abishai give us insights to comprehensively understand the two symbolic types of the Golah community’s responses toward the Benjaminites. Consequently, the David-Benjaminites episodes signal the complex aspects of the Persian Yehud Judean’s internal struggles and their strategies to resolve the ideological issues.

The Analysis of Impacts for Ancient Rock Painting on Modern Pictures: the Case of Mongolia

The main goal of our study to investigate the manner in which rock paintings continue to serve as the foundation for visual art, as they were an essential component of intellectual culture for ancient humans. The symbols and imagery of the ancient petroglyphs found through Mongolian territory basically convey the ancient people's understanding of the world. Their creative perceptions were evidence and artistic in their imagination. By analyzing and studying the characteristic differences of shapes, types of symbols and carvings expressed in rock paintings, rock paintings have become the basis of modern paintings.

SYMBOLISM OF NINE GREAT HOUSES IN GAME OF THRONES

This study entitled “Symbolism of Nine Great Houses in Game of Thrones”. It aims at identifying symbols that are applied and analyzing the meanings of the symbols implied in each house based on the semiosis process proposed by Peirce. All the data are taken from the Nine Great Houses by watching it repeatedly and listing all the symbols that are related to each house. The writer will identify the symbols that are found and analyses them by using qualitative descriptive methods continued with the semiosis process. The writer chose the Theory of Symbol proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce to analyze the symbols by using his triadic structure which included Object, Representamen, and Interpretant. All three parts must be present for something to be considered a sign or symbol. The results show that four type of Archetypal Symbols found, they are Symbolism of Animals, Symbolism of Colors, Symbolism of Settings, and Symbolism of Objects. These differences have resulted in various interpretations.

The Role of Political Symbolism in Constructing a National Iranian Identity

Symbolism is at the heart of the political process and any symbol can potentially become a part of the political field. Applying the “positive symbol” concept I underlines that the Iranian nation is formed through the symbolic forms of ideas and values. Two types of symbols can be identified in the formation of Iranian identity: symbols-signifiers and integrating symbols. The article pays attention to the role of symbols, the role of the so called “guardians” and the role of Corbin’s “imaginal world” in the construction of Iranian identity. The paper shows in its conclusion that the role of political symbolism in constructing a national Iranian identity is significant and acting as a “symbol-strategy,” consisting of symbolic actions.

Семантика исторической карты. Вопросы построения и использования условных обозначений для исторических карт

This article is devoted to the methodological and editorial issues of the formation and use of conventional signs when carrying out historical and cartographic work. It indicates the relevance of historical cartographic semantics, which usually does not receive proper reflection in works on the methodology for preparing historical maps. The author formulates the basic requirements for graphical means of the historical map in relation to their syntax, semantic compliance and general readability; provides the methodological basis for constructing and using symbols. Attention is paid to the structure of historical semantics and its individual blocks. A separate block of the article is devoted to the classification of signs and their areas of application. A description of the symbol resources is given. Sources of replenishment of symbols and mechanisms for the formation of new symbols are given. For each geometric type of symbol, an analysis of the various situations in which it can be used is presented; examples are given that reveal the informational and methodological potential of various techniques for using conventional signs. The article clarifies the concept of a reference base of symbols, which is a set of all available signs, grouped by thematic headings. The methodological provisions of the article are based on the practice of general and thematic mapping, as well as on the author’s personal profes- sional experience. The article is supplemented with examples of the thematic legends design, which can be used as a guide for the further accumulation of a reference base of symbols or for direct use when working with historical maps.

Communication is classified as oral, written and receptive communication, as well as generalized, interpersonal, intergroup, person-group, situational and pathological communication can also be Decoupled Decoupled. Verbal communication, which is one of the types of interpersonal communication, is the type of communication that is usually used. The definition is made in the form of individuals making various sounds and transmitting their feelings and ideas to the other side. Face-to-face conversations of individuals, songs, expressing lessons or fairy tales, etc. verbal communication is in the examples. Oral communication provides time for individuals who communicate because it allows for questions and answers during face-to-face conversation, it allows for the perception of issues that do not perceive and the ability to return immediately. The first type of interpersonal communication is nonverbal communication, which is carried out by making gestures and facial expressions, and therefore using body language. When the types of communication have been investigated throughout history, it has been understood that nonverbal communication has been used primarily. Messages of this type are transmitted by using gestures and gestures. Feelings and ideas that words are not enough to express are easily and clearly conveyed through the use of body language. An occasional contact, hug or kiss can have more of an impact than Decrees. Nonverbal communication is usually more effective on the recipient than verbal communication. The last one of the interpersonal communication situations is the written form of communication. The acquisition of feelings and ideas into a concrete form with various types of symbols is called written communication. Written communication has been carried out from the discovery of writing to the present day. Written communication is mainly used in educational institutions. Forms of corporate correspondence, guidelines, journals, communiqués, newsletters, authorized board decisions, letters, registration reports, prescriptions, petitions can be cited as examples.
