Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
This study examines the process of improving the quality of pottery products from Pagelaran village in Malang mainly by improving the traditional combustion process. The traditional pottery craftsmen in this area have faced issues with both the aesthetic values and quality standard of their products, even having defective products due to poor processes. Despite these challenges, pottery craft in Pagelaran is considered a cultural heritage that has contributed to the welfare of craftsmen and the local community, as well as the preservation of local wisdom. To improve the quality of their products, the craftsmen in Pagelaran have focused on the …

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan
With the advent of technology and increasing cultural diversity, language teachers in higher education are encouraged to push current pedagogical boundaries in search of the best approaches to cultural learning. This study responds to this pedagogical pursuit by experimenting with the integration of team-based mobile learning (TBML) in extensive reading classes mediated by the mobile instant messaging application Telegram. The research findings statistically demonstrate that TBML can develop EFL readers’ intercultural knowledge and understanding. The technological and socioconstructivist affordances of TBML also enhance reading motivation as a springboard for developing intercultural communicative competence (ICC). The research implications and limitations are …
Determinants Of Bank Performance: Revisiting The Role Of Ceo’S Personality Traits Using Graphology, Thanh Ngo, Tu Dq Le, Dat T. Nguyen, Tin H. Ho
Determinants Of Bank Performance: Revisiting The Role Of Ceo’S Personality Traits Using Graphology, Thanh Ngo, Tu Dq Le, Dat T. Nguyen, Tin H. Ho
Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking
It is well-known that chief executive officer (CEO) plays an important role in the success of many businesses. In this study, we revisit the relationship between CEO’s personality and firm performance for 27 Vietnamese commercial banks. We use graphology to classify 299 handwritten signatures of CEOs into different personality traits such as extraversion or conscientiousness. Those personalities, among other factors (e.g., ownership, listed status, and CEOs’ experiences), are then used to explain bank performance. We document that banks with conscientious CEOs tend to outperform their counterparts.
Medical Student Perceptions Of Autism Education: A Qualitative Study, L Gallaher, C Butler, S Banerjee, Et Al
Medical Student Perceptions Of Autism Education: A Qualitative Study, L Gallaher, C Butler, S Banerjee, Et Al
Peninsula Medical School
Background: The global prevalence of autism is reported to be at least 1% and is rising. Autistic people have a range of comorbidities resulting in a high use of health services. Doctors of nearly all specialties are likely to encounter autistic people in their practice. Autistic people report dissatisfactory care and encounter disproportionately worse health-related outcomes than non-autistic people, which in part has been attributed to a lack of skill and awareness in the medical workforce. At present, autism education is not always included in undergraduate medical curricula. In England, the Department of Health and Social Care has mandated that …

Political affiliation has been reported as a determinant of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in some countries, although few studies have examined the Asian context. This study aims to fill this gap by employing an ecological study design using Indonesian regions as data points. Political affiliation was represented by incumbent President Jokowi’s vote share in the 2019 presidential election. Potential confounders included population density, human development index, availability of hospitals and primary health care, 2019–2020 economic growth, COVID-19 mortality rate, and proportion of Muslims in the population. The final analysis included 201 out of 501 districts and cities in Indonesia. Controlling for …

A Unified Forensics Analysis Approach To Digital Investigation, A Alshumrani, N Clarke, B Ghita
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Digital forensics is now essential in addressing cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime but potentially it can have a role in almost every other type of crime. Given technology's continuous development and prevalence, the widespread adoption of technologies among society and the subsequent digital footprints that exist, the analysis of these technologies can help support investigations. The abundance of interconnected technologies and telecommunication platforms has significantly changed the nature of digital evidence. Subsequently, the nature and characteristics of digital forensic cases involve an enormous volume of data heterogeneity, scattered across multiple evidence sources, technologies, applications, and services. It is indisputable that the …

A Space For Partnership And Empowerment: How The Writing Café Negotiates Inclusion In Higher Education, Cara Baer, Nina Kearney
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
Higher education (HE) has traditionally been shaped for a specific type of student, but as widening participation initiatives are increasingopportunitiesfor under-represented groups to attend (e.g., mature, disabled, those from a low socio-economicbackground,and care leavers), it is imperative to illuminate examples of best practice that are accessible and equitable once students are at university. This paper discusses the Writing Café, an interdisciplinary, peer facilitated space for students to explore writing techniques and strategies with trained student writing mentors. This will illustrate how the Writing Café is promoting inclusion for students who have been traditionally excluded from HE.The Writing Café encourages student …
Teachers' Self-Efficacy In Dealing With Students' Online Learning Difficulties: A Study Of Psychopragmatics In Indonesian Language Learning, Muhammad Rohmadi, Memet Sudaryanto
Teachers' Self-Efficacy In Dealing With Students' Online Learning Difficulties: A Study Of Psychopragmatics In Indonesian Language Learning, Muhammad Rohmadi, Memet Sudaryanto
Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
Efficacy is teachers’ ability to strengthen their self-motivation to help solve learning problems faced by their students. In the learning process, psychopragmatic mastery is expected to strengthen the psychological condition of teachers and students through informative, manipulative, and persuasive sentences so that each student can optimize learning tools to help them achieve learning goals. During the pandemic, it is important to examine teachers’ self-efficacy and psychopragmatics mastery to support students in addressing their online learning difficulties. A qualitative study to investigate these issues was therefore conducted. Participants of this study were teachers from all over Indonesia, consisting of 350 middle …
Reimagining Singapore In Verse: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Contemporary Poetry And Its Role In Emerging National Identity, Benjamin Baguio Mangila
Reimagining Singapore In Verse: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Contemporary Poetry And Its Role In Emerging National Identity, Benjamin Baguio Mangila
Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
This paper critically examines how contemporary Singaporean writers use language in verse, that is poetry, to make vivid representations of Singapore as a nation and discursively construct the social notion of the country's national identity. Utilizing Wodak's (2001) Discourse-Historical framework, this paper reveals how the two authors use some common discursive strategies, mainly representational and predicational, in making explicit representations of Singapore and creating a strong sense of national identity. In their poetry, authors frequently utilize referential linguistic devices such as first personal pronouns to attach specific human traits that help personify Singapore and express an in-group identity that functions …

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
This study aims to describe the lexical semantic fields of reading textbooks in Universitas Negeri Malang, specifically in categories being, cosmic, energetic, substantial, terrestrial, objective, living, animate, and human. It used a descriptive qualitative method with a semantic analysis approach. The semantic approach was selected since we intended to comprehend the semantic phenomenon from the lexical-semantic field aspect of a specific textbook course. In detail, we started the research by describing the lexical-semantic field in the textbook and classified the words and phrases. Further, we identified the rational understanding of those words and phrases as a complete understanding of a …

Understanding The Roles Of Images And Intermodal Relationships For Optimized Use Of Visual And Verbal Resources In Vietnam’S Textbooks For Lower Secondary Levels, Yusnita Febrianti, Thao Vu
Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
The study investigates the roles of images and intermodal relationships of both language and images in two English textbooks used in Vietnamese lower secondary schools, namely Tieng Anh and Solutions textbooks to gain insights on the ways to optimise the use of both language and images as resources in teaching and learning activities. Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1996, 2006) framework on the grammar of visual design is used to analyse the images, looking at the types of image representations and the compositional meanings. The language-image relationships in the books, on the other hand, are analysed using the framework of Intermodal …

Exploring Batik Semarangan As A Medium To Develop Intercultural Communication Awareness And Global Competence, Ekawati Marhaenny Dukut
Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
People doing work from home are mostly depending on what the internet has to offer for communication. Because people want to make good use of the Internet for communication, such information is available in English as a global language. One of the advantages of having ready information in English is that local cultural products can now have better chances to compete globally with products from other cultures. One of those products is Indonesia’s Batik Semarangan, which is produced in Semarang, the capital city of Central Java. Through studying the motifs found in Batik Semarangan, an intercultural communication awareness of rich …

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
The use of natural materials is a creative and innovative process to increase the potential of the surrounding environment, such as the use of natural dyes. As rambutan skin has been rarely used and reported as a natural dye, this study explores its usage on leather. In this study, we applied rambutan skin as a natural dye to tanned leather from goat crust skin using the creative eco-printing method. We used an experimental method with a pre-experiment one-shot case study design. Each sample was dyed at different times using distinct solutions during the mordant process. The solution was made from …
Gouw Peng Liang's Lo Fen Koei Text (1903) As A Cultural Practice Of The Chinese Peranakan Community: A New Historicism Study, Dwi Susanto
Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya
Lo Fen Koei text (1903) by Gouw Peng Liang has been neglected in the history of Indonesian literature due to the numerous discourses on power and social, political, and ideological issues that flourished at the time. The objective of this study is to discover about the text's active response to social, political, and other discourses that exist outside of its existence. The issues addressed in this study are (1) the historical context and author's stance, (2) the meaning of Lo Fen Koei's (1903) text, and (3) the texts and discourse around Lo Fen Koei's (1903) text. The study uses a …

Exploring Facilitators, Barriers And Concerns Of Police Using Social Media When Investigating Missing Children, Eleanor Howlings, Reka Solymosi
International Journal of Missing Persons
Missing person investigations involve the collection of information to ensure the person is located as fast as possible, minimising their exposure to harms. Social media is a valuable source of information in police investigations both to learn about the missing person, and to appeal for information to the public. To ensure social media is used safely and effectively, we must understand the concerns and experiences of investigating officers. In this pilot study, we analysed interviews from 8 experts who investigate missing children to identify the facilitators and barriers of using social media. We also identified concerns raised by officers around …

University Administrators, Leadership, And Faculty Views On The Internationalization Of Curriculum, Alina Pap
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
International curriculum is a scholastic model to implement international and intercultural dimensions within teaching and learning strategies across disciplines. However, theorists emphasized that IoC is not an independent institutional strategy rather it is tied to internationalization of higher education as a complex and institutionally customized policy. Studies conducted in various national contexts underscore two main critiques brought to implementation of IoC. First, institutions of higher education have different possibilities to implement IoC and colleges and universities in Northern, European and Western countries manipulate the process of internationalization. Second, the role of administrators, leadership and faculty is essential in the implementation …

Developing Scholar Activists: The Role Of The Edd, Valerie A. Storey, Roschanda Fletcher
All Faculty and Staff Scholarship
A qualitative descriptive approach was followed in the research, starting with a theoretical conceptualization of scholar activism within doctoral education as a basis for further inquiry. Seventeen doctoral candidates described how they conceptualized and applied the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate's (CPED) Framework for the Emerging EdD Activist to their experiences in an online program. Study respondents gave accounts of growing confidence to engage in active, vocal advocacy, which they attributed to their new knowledge and understandings gained through participation in the program. However, for some mid-career students, increased vocal advocacy in the workplace was perceived as endangering career …

Back Country: Queer Rural Temporalities, Pansies In The Bluegrass, Cooper Lane Gibson
Theses and Dissertations
My practice utilizes an intermedia and anti-disciplinary approach to conjure a reflexive vision of my experience as a gay and gender non-conforming person in rural Kentucky. Concepts that are important to my practice are storytelling, embodiment, and assemblage. Coming up gay in rural Kentucky I often felt like an assemblage. Not quite one thing entirely, but many parts swirling together in a fluidity that isn’t easily categorizable. Part farm boy, part faggot, part miss piggy. I am also interested in assemblage as a way of making. Found objects and images are tools I employ as a way of inviting the …
Bergson On Poetics: Philosophy, Literature And Science, Michel Dalissier
Bergson On Poetics: Philosophy, Literature And Science, Michel Dalissier
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In this paper, I analyze Henri Bergson’s insightful and contrasted vision of poetry. First, I show in what sense Bergson sympathizes with the idea that the poet must be credited to surpass the novelist in offering to us an unparalleled emotional apprehension of the world. Second, I nonetheless underline how Bergson grants the product of the poet, i.e., the poem itself, a problematic linguistic status, inasmuch as the focus of his analysis shifts from an intersubjective poetical apprehension of feelings to their individual poetic appreciation, or from the spiritual dimension of poetry to its material dimension. Third, I further suggest …

The creativity of language Chomsky puts so much importance on must be questioned because the same creativity has produced lethal weapons such as atomic bombs. Modern science developed by the power of language has certainly produced many beneficial things, but we should not overlook its destructive side. Besides, language capable of inventing a new reality leads us to believe in it blindly. Let us remember philosophers such as Wittgenstein or Nagarjuna who warned us not to believe in the construct called “reality” made up by language power.Now, is it better and safer then to use a metaphorical language that composes …
Orature: The Political Interpretation Of Performance Framework In Anthills Of The Savannah And Half Of A Yellow Sun, Jing Duan
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
The focus of discussion in this paper lies in a perception that orature of African written literature is not innocent but a form of control. Operated through its performance framework, the concept of orature provides an angle to observe how African oral tradition penetrates written literature and cultivates an awareness of the political nature both of the material to be written and of the writing process itself. This paper explores the performance framework in two African novels — Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah and Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. Through such key concepts as event, narrative and self-reflexivity …

Psychology and Neuroscience Faculty Publications
Humans routinely form groups to achieve goals that no individual can accomplish alone. Group coordination often brings to mind synchrony and alignment, where all individuals do the same thing (e.g., driving on the right side of the road, marching in lockstep, or playing musical instruments on a regular beat). Yet, effective coordination also typically involves differentiation, where specialized roles emerge for different members (e.g., prep stations in a kitchen or positions on an athletic team). Role specialization poses a challenge for computational models of group coordination, which have largely focused on achieving synchrony. Here, we present the CARMI …
Notes On The Translations Of Sūrat Al-Inshiqāq, Rema El-Isa
Notes On The Translations Of Sūrat Al-Inshiqāq, Rema El-Isa
Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب
This paper conducts a comparative study about four translations of sūrat alInshiqāq: Yousef Ali, Muhammad Hilali-Muhsin Khan, Pickthall and Mohammad Abdel Haleem. Multiple opinions of exposition have been provided to explore how, in certain ayas, the translators fail to find an appropriate equivalent. The translations' problems are categorized into lexical, stylistic and syntactic problems, whereas these categories also have sub-categories in order to clarify the gaps that might be encountered while translating the Qur'anic text. The problems are investigated through the theories of free and bound translation. Since religious texts, especially the sacred ones, are contextbased, they have different meanings …
Subject-Verb Agreement In Existential Constructions In Contemporary American English: A Corpus-Based Study, Ekab Al-Shawashreh, Mohammad Al-Omari
Subject-Verb Agreement In Existential Constructions In Contemporary American English: A Corpus-Based Study, Ekab Al-Shawashreh, Mohammad Al-Omari
Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب
This study investigates the variable subject-verb agreement in existential constructions in the Corpus of Contemporary American-English (COCA). While variable subject-verb agreement in existential constructions has been extensively studied in many varieties of English, we study this variation in a particular corpus to find out the correlation between the distribution of the standard and non-standard subject-verb agreement variants in American-English and a number of linguistic factors (tense, contraction, kind of plural and adjacency of subject and verb). To achieve this goal, a total of 375 tokens of standard and non-standard agreement in existential constructions are extracted from the corpus and coded …

The Role Of The "Speaker" In The Stages Of "The "Emergence And Growth Of Arabic Grammar (A Study In The Light Of Some Modern Perspectives), Fares Alsoud, Faisal Safa
Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب
This study aims at illustrating the role of the "speaker" in the Arabic Grammatical Heritage in its two stages: "emergence" and "development". This is due to the intensive care given by "discourse studies" to both the "speaker" and the "addressee" in the verbal situation. That given intensive care was strong enough to encourage a lot of those who are interested in ancient Arabic linguistics to examine the ancient grammatical studies. This study was concerned with highlighting the concepts which governed the way of analysis followed in those studies. The results were impressive regarding the "speaker", and also were refuting one …
