Correlating Sentiment In Reddit’S Wallstreetbets With The Stock Market Using Machine Learning Techniques, Sultan Ali Alzaabi

Theses

The issue that this study addresses is to observe whether there exists a statistical relation between the stock market and Reddit’s wallstreetbets. Previous research mainly focused on the relation between the stock market and Twitter. To gather data for the study, comments were scrapped from the subreddit wallstreetbets for a period of four months, Jan 1, 2021, till April 30, 2021. Different sentiment classifiers were, then, applied on a sample of the data to observe the most accurate classifier for the study. The study concluded that the most accurate sentiment classifier was an SVM classifier trained on 80% of Reddit …

“Living Document”: From Documents To Documentality, From Mimesis To Performative Indexicality, Ronald E. Day

Proceedings from the Document Academy

In this article, in distinction to documentation as an epistemic understanding of documents, I will discuss the epistemology of documentality as an indexical theory of documental functions, which I will develop through Bruno Latour’s notion of information. This notion of indexicality is different than Suzanne Briet’s notion of indexicality (which I have discussed elsewhere (Briet, 2006)).

I will begin this paper with an historical problem that illustrates the issues of viewing documents as content representation. This is the problem identified by Vincent Debaene (Debaene, 2014) in early and mid-twentieth century French field anthropology of the “two book” phenomenon, which attempted …

Emergence: Documents In Crisis, Wayne De Fremery

Proceedings from the Document Academy

This essay suggests the etymologies of emergence, emergency, and crisis create a useful framework for theorizing documents. Indeed, the overlapping semantic associations of the words allow for the idea that documents emerge in crisis. The semantic overlap also allows a means for theorizing how documents descend into crisis. Theorizing documents in crisis, the essay argues, usefully complements documentalist theories of documentary representation suggested by thinkers like Paul Otlet and Suzanne Briet, as well newer conceptualizations of documentality as conceived by Michael Buckland and Maurizio Ferraris and documentarity as described by Ronald Day.

Bringing Political Upheaval And Cultural Trauma Into Order: A Document-Theoretical Approach To The Social Significance Of Bibliographic Classification Systems, Joacim Hansson

Proceedings from the Document Academy

This paper explores the ability to define bibliographic classification systems as socially significant documents in a way that goes beyond their immediate function in the information retrieval process. It does so in dialog with theory on documents and documentality, and knowledge organization theory. Two examples show how development of new classification systems address social and cultural structures in periods of rapid social and cultural change and crisis. The first example discusses the design of a classification system for Swedish public libraries in the late 1910s, and the second addresses the re-formulation of the Holocaust experience in American Jewish library classification …

يحاول هذا البحث فهم المقصود من عبارة الإمام مسلم التي ذكرها في مقدمة صحيحه عند سياقه لمنهجه في التكرار، حيث قال: (إسناد يقع إلى جنب إسناد؛ لعلّة تكون هناك)، إذ إنّ هذه العبارة كانت سبب إشكال بين العلماء، حيث اختلفوا في مفهومها والمقصود منها؛ فمنهم من حمل مفهوم (العلّة) في العبارة على المعنى اللغوي، ومنهم من حملها على المعنى الاصطلاحي عند المحدّثين، ممّا أدّى إلى تقييد سبب تكرار الأسانيد في صحيح مسلم على وجود علّة في الإسناد فحسب؛ لذا جاء هذا البحث لدراسة العبارة وتحليل ظاهرها، والنّظر في تفسيرات العلماء لها، ثمّ مقارنتها بصنيعه داخل الصحيح عند تكراره للأسانيد؛ …

A Language Analysis Of The London, Harrow Obituary From 1940 To 1950, Michaela Rappleyea

Undergraduate Honors Theses

This thesis is an analysis of the vocabulary and phrases used in obituaries written in London during World War II and in the first five years following the war. During the war, both the length and content of the obituaries was significantly different, as the subjects and manner of death during those years was also significantly different. During the post-war years, the subjects and content followed a lengthier format and were generally for older community members who died of natural causes. This change in structure was affected by the nature and frequency of death. The tone of the writing was …

We Miss Each Other, As In We Are Missing Each Other, Lily L. Randall

Theses and Dissertations

I am interested in the way metaphors efface the terms of their comparison and what utility COVID-19 has when positioned within a metaphor. In Lacanian psychoanalysis, metaphors touch the subject, symbolized by the plus sign (+) or the crossing of the signifier into the signified. In the fall of 2019, I presented a performance in which three participants strategically shared saliva, nasal, ear, and vaginal swabs to therapeutically address my chronic illness. Currently in 2021, our conceptions of bodily sharing revolve around the extreme contagiousness of COVID-19. There is a demand to visualize this contagion as if “respiratory droplets” were …

Satirizing Empire: Comparing Ancient China And Rome, Di Wang

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Comparative scholars of the ancient Mediterranean and East Asian worlds have recently taken a serious interest in the unprecedented and simultaneous emergence of two classical empires: Rome and China. The trend, invigorated by the contemporary geopolitical development of China’s rise as a world empire challenging the post-World War II Western hegemony, has yielded new insights into the many divergences and convergences of the world’s two most enduring political and cultural systems. However, preoccupied with describing the political, cultural institutions and grand narratives of empire, scholarship has largely ignored the detractors of empire, whose ingenious expressions are as enduring as these …

World Changers: Social Justice At The Heart Of Middle School Language Arts Curriculum, Mackenzie Mcclain

Honors Theses

English classrooms, at their best, are safe places for adolescents to critically engage with difficult issues presented in novels and the real world. One such issue is human trafficking, which is expected to soon become the world’s most profitable criminal industry (Knudsen, 2015). Incorporating values and instructional approaches from social justice pedagogy, I have designed a sixth-grade language arts unit plan about human trafficking based upon Francesco D’Adamo’s novel, Iqbal (2003). My purpose was to create resources, such as standards-based learning objectives, text sets, lesson plans, and student projects to use in my own classroom, as well as for teachers …

Rethinking The Rhetorical Dimensions Of Public Refusals, Tyler Stafford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

In this dissertation on rethinking the rhetorical dimensions of public refusals, I attempt to enhance the heuristic value of compositionist John Schilb’s neglected but promising concept of rhetorical refusal with (1) an amplification of his higher principle criterion using rhetorical studies of decorum and (2) the scholarly deployment of strategic silence, journalism ethics, controversy and melodrama, irony, and prophetic rhetoric. In so doing, I (1) endeavor to inspire cross-disciplinary dialogue between those who study rhetoric in communication departments and those who study rhetoric in English departments; (2) demonstrate analyses of rhetorical refusals that take us beyond the cases explored in …

Hajjajiyah Narrative Phrase In Diwan (In The Mirror Of The Letter) By The Poet Adib Kamal Al-Din, Baidaa Muhyi Al-Din

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

Perhaps in the research, we are trying hard to study the argumentative narrative phrase in the poetic image, and to show the extent of the effectiveness of the pilgrims in narration, due to the absence of addressing this axis in most pilgrimage studies, which is its ability to prove that the poetic discourse possesses an argumentative characteristic that distinguishes it from the rest of the literary races by entering the world of the recipient and the influence In it and his conviction of the usefulness of his message while adopting the condensation, suggestion and symbolism, formative elements codify the dimensions …

Perspectives In The Mystery Of The Origin Of Arabic Grammar, Hasan Mohammed

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

This research reviews famous stories in the emerging of grammar so that we can detect the mystery that surrounds that emerging. It seemed that the need of the foreigners to adapt and seize opportunities in the new culture is what led them to try to learn and master the language.

Being skilled in Arabic linguistics had been in demand in order to gain opportunities to obtain state jobs and …

“Africa Of The Heart”: The African Experience In Derek Walcott's Omeros, Hussein Kadhum Challab

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

Derek Walcott's book-length poem Omeros won critical acclaim soon after its publication in 1990. In this poem, the world of the Caribbean is linked with that of Homer by recalling the dramas of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey in a Caribbean setting. Africa is heavily featured in Omeros as most of the major characters of the poem who in one way or another go through the African experience. 'Return to Africa' is a recurrent theme in Derek Walcott's works. However, this kind of return is not for the sole purpose of finding their old lost homeland, but rather for establishing roots …
