Gamit Ng Wikang Filipino Sa Proseso Ng Paglilitis: Kaso Ng Children In Conflict With The Law Sa Makati City Hall–Rtc Sangay 3, 136, 140, At 144, Pherese Sulit, Gerard Concepcion

Malay Journal

Problemang maituturing dahil Ingles ang wikang ginagamit sa mga korte ng Pilipinas. Kung hindi sanay o maalam ang nasasakdal sa wikang ginagamit ng hukuman partikular sa kabuuang proseso ng paglilitis, malaki ang posibilidad na magdulot ito ng hindi pagkakaunawaan. Natatangi ang sitwasyon ng Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) sa sistemang legal ng bansa. Liban sa ipinagkakaloob sa kanila ang alternatibong pagpataw ng kaparusahan na kaiba sa mga kadalasang sumasailalim sa prosesong legal, sila rin ang sektor na kadalasang hindi sanay gumamit ng wikang Ingles. Bunsod ng kanilang sitwasyon, mahalaga ang nagiging gamit ng wikang Filipino sa kabuuang proseso …

Ilang Repleksiyon Sa “Utak Mo May Covid” Bilang Sinulti At Ekspresyon Sa Social Media, Mark Anthony Angeles

Malay Journal

Madalas gamitin sa social media ang ekspresyong “utak mo may COVID.” Mayroon itong temporal na dimensiyon, dahil nakatali ito sa pagbansag ng World Health Organization sa sakit na dala ng SARS-CoV-2 bilang COVID-19, noong 11 Pebrero 2020. Sa pag-aaral na ito, ginamit ang salitang Sebuwano na sinulti bilang katumbas ng lingguwistikong terminong utterance. Tataluntunin ang pinagmulan nito, bilang deribasyon ng isang ekspresyong tumahak sa ibang direksiyon sa social media. Hihimayin din ang leksikal at semantikong kahulugan ng bawat salita sa ekspresyon, para patunayan kung bakit naging epektibo ang mga ito, sa pagdaan ng maraming taon, bilang isang retorika ng pang-iinsulto. …

The 2016 Health Resources and Services Administration, Health Workforce Analysis estimated that ophthalmology is the surgical specialty with the greatest physician shortage.

Text Contention Behind Sharia Supervisory Board Reports: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Ari Ermawati, M Nur A Birton, Irfan Tarmizi, Muhammad Muttaqin

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

Sharia Supervisory Board Reports (SSBRs) have an interest in convincing the public that entities supervised by a Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) are sharia-compliant and reflective of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) practices. Failure in public convincing will be detrimental to Islamic banks’ reputation as well as the SSB’s image and credibility. This study aimed to critically assess how the SSB produces reports as texts to persuade the public using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). We analyzed four SSBRs from two Islamic Commercial Banks (ICBs) and two Islamic Business Units (IBUs) owned by other ICBs as well as interviews for data triangulation. We …

Communication Sciences and Disorders Faculty Articles and Research

Broca’s area is frequently implicated in sentence comprehension but its specific role is debated. Most lesion studies have investigated deficits at the chronic stage. We aimed (1) to use acute imaging to predict which left hemisphere stroke patients will recover sentence comprehension; and (2) to better understand the role of Broca’s area in sentence comprehension by investigating acute deficits prior to functional reorganization. We assessed comprehension of canonical and noncanonical sentences in 15 patients with left hemisphere stroke at acute and chronic stages. LASSO regression was used to conduct lesion symptom mapping analyses. Patients with more severe word-level comprehension deficits …

Meaning-Making Dynamics Of Job Interview Performances, Jacquelyn K. Bertman Dec 2021

Meaning-Making Dynamics Of Job Interview Performances, Jacquelyn K. Bertman

Graduate Masters Theses

Behavioral interviewing has become a popular technique used across fields to assess the fitness of job seekers (Roulin & Bangerter, 2012; Powers, 2000). This particular style of interviewing calls on the interviewee to narrate their prior experiences in the workforce, with the idea that past behavior on the job is prelude to future job performance. The answers (stories) follow a specific format in order to be considered successful, one that adheres to the style and organization of the dominant Discourse (Gee, 1989). However, storytelling is a culturally situated practice and candidates from diverse backgrounds may construct their narratives outside of …

Critical Transformations Through Community Service-Learning Programs For Students Of Color At Predominantly White Institutions, Varsha Ghosh Dec 2021

Critical Transformations Through Community Service-Learning Programs For Students Of Color At Predominantly White Institutions, Varsha Ghosh

Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

Service-learning has become deeply embedded in higher education, as both a co-curricular and curricular tool to achieve learning outcomes, promote civic engagement and promote diversity. Yet it has also struggled with the critique that service-learning, unintentionally, reinforces deficit thinking by promoting a dominant narrative centered on the White middle-class perspective. This narrative excludes the experience of students and faculty who reflect the demographics of the community served or who are simultaneously from the community and the institution. This qualitative study seeks to challenge the traditional narrative to understand the service experience of students of color from low-income backgrounds at predominantly …

Narasi Perempuan Melalui Tato, Nikita Devi Purnama, Lg Saraswati Putri

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This research examines how women voice their narratives through tattoos by studying the experiences of seven tattooed women. Using the in-depth interview method, this research presents the narratives of these tattooed women in relation to their tattoos. Such narratives seem to be strongly intertwined with their life stories. The body is a medium in which a person can place certain markers to achieve certain purposes. As Butler theorizes, what the body displays is not the real self, but only an appearance according to the assumed or chosen role. In addition, according to Cixous, tattooing can be considered as a form …

A Sonogram Of The Dark Side Of The Dao: The Possibility Of Antinatalism In Daoism, Robbert Zandbergen Dec 2021

A Sonogram Of The Dark Side Of The Dao: The Possibility Of Antinatalism In Daoism, Robbert Zandbergen

Comparative Philosophy

In the present work I study Daoist philosophy in conjunction with the radical new philosophy of antinatalism, spearheaded by South African philosopher David Benatar. Although I am not claiming equivalence between the two, a meaningful communication emerges between the classical Chinese sources used here and the modern doctrine of antinatalism. I argue that both visions partake in a radical critique of consciousness according to which this faculty of the human mind is far from what it is often held to be. In fact, it is perceived as a destructive and disruptive element of, and in, existence. Moreover, both offer a …

Appearance And Momentariness: The Nature Of Being Between Nāgārjuna, The Sarvāstivādins And Neo-Parmenidism, Federico Divino

Comparative Philosophy

In this article I will try to demonstrate the existence of points in common between the eternalist instances of Parmenidean philosophy and the Buddhist formulations made by some parts of the Abhidhamma, Nāgārjuna, and the Sarvāstivādins. These three philosophies have numerous points in common with Emanuele Severino’s formulations from the point of view of what is defined as neo-Parmenidism. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the points in common between these systems of thought are due to a basic affinity which, despite having led them to emphasize different themes, present similar reasoning and logical consequences, which allow …
