Folklore, Disability, and Plain Language: The Problem of Consent

Abstract This is an essay about consent and the importance of using plain language. Consent means someone gives someone else permission to do something. When we do research, we ask for consent from the people we study. We explain what we are trying to understand in our research, and we ask people to agree to participate. Everyone has the right to decide whether or not to give consent. When we ask for consent, we need to explain things in ways that people understand so they can make their own decisions. Sometimes people with intellectual disabilities are not given the right to decide whether or not to give permission to participate. People with intellectual disabilities can understand if spoken to in plain language by teachers, doctors, lawyers, parents, and caregivers, as well as by everyone else. When things are explained in plain language, people with intellectual disabilities can understand and make their own decisions about whether or not to give consent to participate.

Comparative Analysis and Design of Different Approaches for Twitter Sentiment Analysis and classification using SVM

Companies and organizations have always found that the views and feedback of the community are their most important and valuable resource. With everyone using social media more and more, it makes it possible to analyze and evaluate things in ways that have never been done before. Before, organizations had to use methods that were unusual, time-consuming, and prone to mistakes. This way of analyzing fits right into the field of "sentiment analysis." Sentiment analysis is a broad field that deals with putting user-generated text into well-defined groups. There are a number of tools and algorithms that can be used to detect and analyze sentiment. For example, supervised machine learning algorithms can be trained with training data and then used to classify the target corpus. Lexical techniques, which use a dictionary-based annotated corpus to do classification, and hybrid tools, which are a mix of machine learning and lexicon-based algorithms, are also used. In this paper, we used Weka's Support Vector Machine (SVM) to analyze how people feel about something. SVM is a popular supervised machine learning algorithm used to find the polarity of text. The main objective is to analyze the emotions expressed in tweets using various simulations of artificial intelligence that classify tweets as positive or negative. If a tweet has both positive and negative components, the more prevalent component should be chosen as the closing statement. Emojis, usernames, and hashtags in tweets should be controlled and transformed into a standard development. Sincerely, these events' planners have started looking into these inconspicuous web blogs (online diaries) to acquire a feel for their niche. On other discreet sites, they routinely monitor and respond to customer feedback. Better means of seeing and combining a broad assessment are one challenge. A few people, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, were really introduced to social affiliation stages a year ago. The vast majority of individuals utilize internet entertainment to express their thoughts about objects, places, or people. Systems Twitter, a less common platform for publishing material to blogs, is a huge repository of well-known reviews for various persons, services, associations, and products, among other things. Assessment examinations are reviews of the public assessment structures. What is said on Twitter has a substantial context thanks to a mixture of opinions. The widespread accessibility of online tests and virtual entertainment posts in the media provides connection with crucial examination to undermine expert judgments and direct their boosting strategies to relaxing and client conclusions. In this way, virtual distraction anticipates playing a significant role in influencing the general exposure of the companies or objects selected. This study highlights the many approaches used for item depiction analyses. Check topics on Twitter to see if the general public is acting in a favorable, negative, or neutral manner.

Problems of Transfering Property Rights and Ways to Solve Them

The analysis of modern law enforcement practice on the issues of determining the legal nature of property rights and the possibility of their transfer shows that the activity of the judiciary does not contribute to the effective development of civil turnover. The purpose of the research is to identify the legal nature of the transfer of property rights and the applicability of this legal category to various objects of civil rights. Based on the analysis of the transfer of things and property rights, the idea is proved that the transfer of a thing is a legal fact while the transfer of a right is not such a fact. In this regard, the necessity of linking the transfer of the right with some independent legal fact is justified. The attention is focused on various legal ways of things and property rights and on the inadmissibility of the extension of the norms of property law to property rights. The principles of separation and abstraction characteristic of the laws of the German legal family, as well as the possibility of their application in Russian civil law, are investigated. The conclusions that the division of transactions in accordance with the principle of separation into mandatory and administrative is impractical and does not meet the needs of civil turnover in Russia are drawn. The provision on the consideration of the administrative transaction as a legal fiction is substantiated. The idea that only one binding transaction is needed for the turnover of property rights is defended. A way to strengthen civil turnover by introducing mandatory notarization of transactions with property rights is suggested.

The Ways of Things: Mobilizing Charismatic Objects in Oberammergau and Its Passion Play

The mobilization processes initiated by the medieval practice of Christian pilgrimage do not only concern the journeys of human travellers but also of things. The transport of objects to and from pilgrimage sites derives from a pre-modern concept of charisma as a specific kind of energy that can be transferred to things and substances. This mutual mobilization of humans and things can be described as the entangled processes of charismatic charging and re-charging; we argue that this pre-modern logic of contiguity and contagion has survived the multiple transformations of individual travel until today. Even travel dispositives of the 20th and 21st centuries presuppose kinds of situational and spatialized charisma involving human and non-human agents. We illustrate this by the example of the world-renowned Oberammergau Passion Play with its unique playing continuity from the early 17th century onwards. We argue that by taking objects home from elevated places, situational and site-specific charisma can be taken home. To describe the relationship between travel by pilgrims, the mobility of objects, and the mutual charismatic charging of elevated places and things, we propose three perspectives on the material remains of elevated situations. In addition to relics and souvenirs, we propose ‘spolia’ as a third category which allows for the description of discontinuity and transformation in practices of elevating things.

Gavriil Derzhavin’s “Felitsaˮ, J.F. Marmontel’s “Belisariusˮ and the Strategy of Literary Success in the Court of Catherine the Great

The article offers an analysis of literary contexts of G.R. Derzhavin&amp;apos;s ode “Felitsa”, suggesting to recognize Marmontel’s “Bélisaire” (“Belisarius”) as a source for key ideological concerns. The work of a French encyclopédist was translated into Russian by Catherine II and a group of noblemen. Derzhavin, much like the author of “Belisarius”, built his text around the antithesis: he opposed the “vices” of aristocrats to the idealized image of the monarch. Thus, “Felitsa” belongs in the same category of texts as “Nakaz” (“Order”), “Velizer” (“Belisarius”), “Vsyakaya vsyachina” (“All sorts of things”), and especially “Sobesednik liubitelei rossiiskogo slova” (“Companion for the Lovers of Russian Letters”), which were authored or inspired by the Russian Empress and were addressing the nature of power and the way of things between the monarch and his/her subjects. The latter, the “Companion”, not only opened with “Felitsa”, but also offered new ideologemes of power and became instrumental in creating Derzhavin’s reputation as a poet.

Sentimental analysis of Indian regional languages on social media

The idea of sentimental analysis is getting attention for the last few years. The key challenges in a sentimental analysis are the collection of huge data from the sources, applying appropriate algorithms or techniques, and classifying them into different sentiments. In this fast-spreading internet world, social media provides a platform for individuals to express their sentiments. With the changing ways of things in different areas in our day-to-day life, the way of expressing one's view or opinion has also changed. People tend to express themselves in their regional language or in a way convenient to them. These individual reviews play an important role in decision-making. With the huge amount of data that is obtained on social media, it is of no use if the opinions are not classified based on their sentiments. This paper provides information about the tweets posted by the customer are positive, negative, or neutral. For this the proposed model first scrape the tweets from Twitter by using Twitter APIs, then later by using text blob, the customer reviews are given different sentiment scores and classify them as positive, negative, or neutral by using text classification model.This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)Peer-review under responsibility of the scientific committee of the 8th International Conference on Through-Life Engineering Service – TESConf 2019.

АРХИТЕКТУРА И ДИЗАЙН: НОВАЦИИ В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОЙ ПОДГОТОВКЕ ПО ИЗОБРАЗИТЕЛЬНЫМ ДИСЦИПЛИНАМ В ПРОЕКТНОЙ СФЕРЕ

The purpose of our exploration is to investigate the computer technology impact on the development of art component in the modern design and engineering education. This is a case in the first instance of traditional arts such as Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. The thematic justification there is to analyse transformation trends of art image creation in a changing development context in the design area. The evolving methodological modern concept requires preservation and development the evolution way of things from its realistic perception (image) to its usage in the capacity of artistic tools and modern information technology tools. It would be instructive to examine the painting methodology of such authors as Nikolai Beschastnov, Vadim Kulakov, Irina Stor, Yuriy Avdeev, Gusein Guseinov, Victor Dyminskiy, Aleksey Sheboldaev (Painting), Yuriy Kirtser (Drawing and painting) as well as the legacy of classic and modern painters. In process of training painting and decorative transformations, information technology adaptation and appliance aim to educate high-level designers and architects. Careful study of nature combine with information technology art tools – this is a key stone of student training of Fine Arts departure of Institute of Architecture and Design Altay State Technical University. Perfect art skills together with technical achievements provides an opportunity to expand and enrich creative potential in carrying out tasks of any kind of complexity importing an art component in the modern design culture. Interest in information technology in a class-room environment Drawing-Painting-Sculpture is no doubt. It’s fascinatingly for students. New methodologies of Institute of Architecture and Design test and endorse in several subjects: Painting and Coloristics, Drawing, Colour transformations in design culture. Based on methodological experiments developed in Fine Arts departure of Institute of Architecture and Design Altay State Technical University and other Russian universities authors suppose that the modern information technology impact on new art architect training methodologies, student abilities for abstract creative reasoning, preserving art component legacy in architect education.

“At Home with Zoe”: Becoming Animal in Charlotte Wood’s The Natural Way of Things

This paper focuses on Charlotte Wood’s 2015 dystopian novel The Natural Way of Things. Set in an unnamed place in the Australian outback, it recounts the story of 10 girls in their late teens and early twenties who are kept prisoners by a mysterious corporate organisation for their sexual involvement with an array of powerful men. The novel’s title invites two main readings: the first, and perhaps more obvious, along gender lines; and the second, which will provide the backbone to my analysis, within the framework of the natural world, the animal kingdom in particular. The Natural Way of Things has been described as a study in contemporary misogyny and the workings of patriarchy. The ingrained sexism of society—the insidious, normalised violence against females, often blamed on them, glossing over male responsibility—is undoubtedly the central topic of Wood’s work. Without losing sight of gender issues, my approach to Wood’s novel is inspired by Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman theories on the continuum nature–culture and the primacy of zoe—“the non-human, vital force of life”—over bios, or life as “the prerogative of Anthropos” (Rosi Braidotti). According to Braidotti, the current challenges to anthropocentrism question the distinction between these two forms of life, highlighting instead the seamless connection between the natural world and culture and favouring a consideration of the subject as embodied, nomadic and relational. My reading of The Natural Way of Things in light of Braidotti’s insights will be supplemented by an analysis of the novel in the context of transmodernity, both a period term and a distinct way of being in the world theorised by critics such as Rosa M. Rodríguez Magda and Marc Luyckx, who emphasise the relational, interdependent nature of contemporary times from a more human-centred perspective. The Natural Way of Things is also a story of female empowerment. This is especially the case with Yolanda Kovacs and Verla Learmont, the two protagonist women, who step out of their roles as victims and stand up to their guards. My analysis of the novel will revolve around these two characters and their different reactions to confinement and degradation. I conclude that although a more zoe-centred conception of the human subject that acknowledges the human–animal continuum should definitely be welcomed, literally “becoming animal”, as Yolanda does, deprives one of meaningful human relationality, embodied in the novel in Verla’s memories of her caring, empathic relationship with her father.

Knowledge, adequacy, and approximate truth

Approximation involves representing things in ways that might be close to the truth but are nevertheless false. Given the widespread reliance on approximations in science and everyday life, here we ask whether it is conceptually possible for false approximations to qualify as knowledge. According to the factivity account, it is impossible to know false approximations, because knowledge requires truth. According to the representational adequacy account, it is possible to know false approximations, if they are close enough to the truth for present purposes. In this paper, we adopt an experimental methodology to begin testing these two theories. When an agent provides a false and practically inadequate answer, both theories predict that people will deny knowledge. But the theories disagree about an agent who provides a false but practically adequate answer: the factivity hypothesis again predicts knowledge denial, whereas the representational adequacy hypothesis predicts knowledge attribution. Across two experiments, our principal finding was that people tended to attribute knowledge for false but practically adequate answers, which supports the representational adequacy account. We propose an interpretation of existing findings that preserves a conceptual link between knowledge and truth. According to this proposal, truth is not necessary for knowledge, but it is a feature of prototypical knowledge.

Situating (in)significance

ABSTRACT In this paper we introduce the concept of ‘(in)significance’ as a way to think about values in heritage, and in the attribution, recording, description, assessment and categorisation practices that characterise heritage processes. Our aim is to throw light on how this concept shapes, and is shaped by, contemporary heritage practices and outcomes. We consider the history of the idea of significance, particularly as it is defined in the Burra Charter, and trace its inheritance lines in settler nation states and capitalist economic structures, and highlight its retention of concepts of heritage value as both intrinsic and culturally attributed. Using international, mainly Anglophone examples, we review a range of case studies and examples of significance and insignificance, of significance assessment in practice, and the tensions between expert, institutional or ‘official’ values and broader concepts of heritage and attachment. We suggest that the dual or layered concept of ‘(in)significance’ might allow for heritage practices that interact with emotions, memory, place and things in ways that are often not possible in the context of official heritage regimes because of rigid aesthetic and conservation paradigms, as well as identity and ownership claims and deeply invested national narratives.

The Watch‐Bitch Now: Reassessing the Natural Woman in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and Charlotte Wood’s The Natural Way of Things

This essay provides the first sustained scholarly analysis of two new novels by women: Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and Charlotte Wood’s The Natural Way of Things. It argues that these texts, when read together, provide a crucial site for reevaluating the legacies of radical French feminist theory and ecofeminism in the late twentieth century, while also testing some of the limits of recent work in critical animal studies. In both novels, female characters pursue impossible communions with nature: in one, a woman wants to become a tree; in the other, a woman wants to become a rabbit. Kang and Wood radicalize the cultural intimacy between women and nature in exploring the potential of the natural realm—the realm outside the city, in Helene Cixous’s terms, stalked by the watch-bitch, the sphinx—to serve as a refuge from a violently androcentric and anthropocentric world order. Yet the two texts ultimately refuse romanticized notions of the woman in and with nature. They dramatize the risks of a negative epistemology of vulnerability, silence, and alterity that, in different ways, conditions the radical feminist reclamation of the hysteric or madwoman as a figure of protest and the various theorizations of subversive affiliations between humans and animals in ecofeminism, feminist nature writing, and critical animal studies. This essay argues that Kang and Wood’s novels reveal in contemporary feminist thought a retrospection of the debates around female madness and silence associated with second-wave feminism, especially as they reaffirm the primacy of women’s relationships with other women over their being with nature.

The Chronology of the Negotiations that Led to the Historic Moment of the Signing of the Brexit Agreement

The reality is that we have witnessed in the last 4 years, since the procedure of negotiating the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union in 2016 has started, a real political impasse on the stage of European relations. Who would have imagined on the 1st of January 1973, when England became a member of the European Union after many indecisions – some of them more arrogant than others that in 47 years' time it will be the first Member State to avail itself of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, which for the first time provided for the right of a Member State to withdraw voluntarily from the European Union? If we look a little at the historical context of England's accession to the EU, we may see similar hesitations that have delayed it so much in joining the EU. Although after the end of the Second World War the economic situation of England was precarious, it still manages to become one of the great world powers. However, in 1951 it refused to join the founding group of the ECSC and also refused to sign the Treaty of Rome in 1957. England believed that the status of leader of the Commonwealth offered you a privileged status compared to other European states in international affairs, especially those with the United States of America, but, nevertheless, it did not bring benefits in the relations with the 6 European states, that were going to establish the European Union. When it realized that this was not a good way for things to happen, in 1961 announced its intention to join the European Economic Community, only that in 1963 France voted against the request. It was only after Charles de Gaulle's resignation in 1969 that the United Kingdom's path to accession was opened. Political and economic integration seemed to be the best solution for achieving a stable economic future.

СОДЕРЖАНИЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО КАПИТАЛА В УСЛОВИЯХ ЦИФРОВОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ

The article considers various approaches of well-known foreign and Russian economists to the definition of the concept of human capital. Various approaches of the authors to the definition of the concept of human capital are highlighted and the main postulates of the research of economists of this concept are described. The main problem of the study of human capital is the specificity of the nature of human capital, which is due to the totality of the individual's physical and mental abilities that allow us to determine his ability to work. The author's definition of the concept of human capital of an employee of an organization in the realities of our time is given. As a perspective for the development of human capital, creative thinking and adaptability to changes in the natural way of things, namely, to the automation of production processes, are considered. The article describes the main elements of human capital: the capacity of a citizen, the qualifications of an employee, the personal and business qualities of an employee. Creative thinking is described as an element of human capital that can create new ideas, show creativity in work, and base its research on experiments and experiments. This allows you to effectively solve the tasks assigned to employees and modify production processes. The improvement of modern human capital involves the mandatory integration of an employee with automated production, the ability to manage digital processes and improve their mechanisms. Special attention needs to be paid to the implementation of personnel security procedures in the enterprise to minimize cybercrime attacks. For organizations, it is becoming necessary to train employees in the safe use of computer technologies. Such knowledge is aimed not only at improving the security of the organization, but also at developing the professional competencies of the specialist within the framework of his human capital.

Aquinas's ‘Integral Parts of Prudence’ as a Resource for Human Formation

AbstractAquinas's articulation of the eight ‘integral parts’ of prudence can serve as a manageable, practical focus for ongoing human development. Although Aquinas holds that there is an infused Prudence, this does not render acquired prudence redundant, because (1) God moves things in ways that befit their natures, and it is our nature to have dominion over our actions; (2) human beings have free will, characteristically exercised in electio, choice of means; (3) grace perfects nature; (4) some scholars have defended the complementarity of the acquired and infused virtues, and there is widespread agreement that the psychological structures needed by acquired virtue persist in the life of graced virtue.The ‘integral parts’ of a Cardinal Virtue must concur for its perfect acts. Aquinas examines them in detail, and offers methods of building ‘memory’ through human effort; he leaves to our diligence the discernment of how to build other parts of prudence. He explains how the parts are deployed in the acts of deliberation, judgment and command.Aquinas's consideration of the vices opposed to prudence and its parts enables him to warn us about what impedes prudence, and to help us distinguish false from legitimate concerns for bodily goods, superfluous from proportionate solicitude, etc.

Mental Health In The Classroom

Location: JC Room E As teachers, we have all had the experience of working with students who are not engaged, not submitting work, and maybe not even coming to class. In some instances, these behaviors are rooted in a mental health concern, and we don't always know how to respond to these challenges in the context of the classroom or in the relationship dynamic of student and teacher. This session will explore this topic by providing background information on suicide prevention and non-suicidal self-injury, so we have a better idea of what to look for in the classroom and how to respond. We will spend time role playing possible conversations to imagine what we might say in a range of circumstances. Additionally, we will explore the complex topic of stigma to better understand our own biases and to consider the ways in which someone with a mental health concern may experience things in ways that may be particularly challenging that those of us who don't struggle in this area may not fully appreciate. Finally, we will spend some time thinking about our own self-care strategies as faculty members and will consider the ways in which we model, fail to model, or could better model self-care in the classroom for our students.

From “Meat Culture” to “Cultured Meat”: Critically Evaluating the Contested Ontologies and Transformative Potential of Biofabricated Animal Material on Culture and Law

This article calls into question how different the parallel ontologies of meat are in terms of the realities they enact. It argues that while biofabricated animal material is expected to transform the production and consumption of meat, the material’s ontologies reinforce existing interrelationships between the dominant meat culture and the law. Additionally, the expectations surrounding biofabricated animal material vests the material with transformative power, even though it does not challenge the structural factors, namely law and culture, which underlie the exploitation and commodification of animals. I begin by delineating the co-constituting relationship between law, the realities of meat production and consumption, and meat culture. I then unpack the interface between different ontologies of meat and consider why the contest has taken place in legal terrains. From here, I consider the key expectations that have assigned transformative power to biofabricated animal material. I suggest that these expectations work to reinforce existing meat culture, and the configurations of power that benefit from it, as supported via legal instruments.

What is policy assemblage?

ABSTRACT Assemblage thinking has exploded in policy research, especially among scholars working in the policy mobilities field who are seeking to harness the potential of an assemblage approach to understand how policies move, mutate and manifest in increasingly transnational contexts. The ubiquity of assemblage, however, does not always render it clear, with the concept being variously defined and sometimes lacking conceptual strength and explanatory power. This paper seeks to conceptualize and defend an assemblage approach to policy analysis. By synthesizing core threads from existing literature, it identifies three theoretical and conceptual foundations central to a ‘policy assemblage’ approach: (1) relations of exteriority and emergence; (2) heterogeneity, relationality and flux; and (3) attention to power, politics and agency. Together, these foundations signal a coherency to assemblage thinking and suggest an assemblage approach has powerful potential, allowing researchers to see and explain things in ways that many established traditions in policy research do not. By identifying foundations and offering examples of how each might be mobilized, the paper provides the beginnings of a framework for policy assemblage research not previously articulated in a systematic form, thus inviting further discussion about what it means to undertake policy assemblage research.
