Politeness Theory Sa Konteksto Ng Mamasapano-Era Senate Hearing: Pagsusuri Ng Interaksyon Ng Mga Senador At Resource Speaker, Eduardo Teodoro B. Ramos Jr.

Social Sciences and Development Review

Senate hearings are defined as a type of public political discourse that is rich in interpersonal communication. Among of the characteristics of a senate hearing are senators’ adopting of the roles of investigator and interrogator; prevalence of interactivity between senators and resource persons; dominance of formality, which is palpable especially in status-related differences between senators and resource persons; and accessibility to the general public through live broadcasts on traditional and social media. This study is anchored on Brown and Levinson’s Politeness, which focuses on positive and negative politeness strategies. The data used consisted of transcripts from the senate hearing on …

When Herstory Goes Viral: Popular Resistance In The State-Platform Nexus In China, Qingyue Sun, Runze Ding Jul 2026

When Herstory Goes Viral: Popular Resistance In The State-Platform Nexus In China, Qingyue Sun, Runze Ding

Interdisciplinary Studies

This article examines the rise of herstory content on Douyin to explore how feminist resistance takes shape within China’s platform environment. Drawing on digital ethnography, we develop the concept of popular resistance, a form of platform-mediated resistance whose popularity serves both as a condition of political traction and as a mechanism of containment. To clarify this duality, we identify two dimensions: (a) popularity on the platform, driven by trends, aestheticization, and commodification; and (b) popularity within orthodoxy, shaped by state-sanctioned values that render certain forms of feminist expression politically permissible. Popular resistance retains a critical, if slippery, edge. It gives …

The Impact Of Iterative Methods To Calculate Eigenvalues And Eigenvectors In Digital Computing, Adanna Onyenze Jul 2026

The Impact Of Iterative Methods To Calculate Eigenvalues And Eigenvectors In Digital Computing, Adanna Onyenze

Faculty publications

What is a matrix? This is a question that many novice math students may come into a linear algebra class, thinking. Well, one definition is that they are a set of multiple linear equations, all smooshed into a simpler, condensed format meant to help identify multiple variables at once, or where all these variables intersect. Simpler matrices like 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 can be calculated by hand; however, when we get into larger sizes, say 1000 × 1000, things can get much more complicated. That is why the development of technology, such as digital computing, for solving …


The Human Side Of Policy: Rural Teachers And Alberta’S 2024 Mobile Device Ban, Kelly A. Smith Jul 2026

The Human Side Of Policy: Rural Teachers And Alberta’S 2024 Mobile Device Ban, Kelly A. Smith

Journal of Nonprofit Innovation

Technology-restrictive educational policies are increasingly shaping classroom practice, yet limited qualitative research has examined how teachers experience implementing these mandates in rural contexts. This study explored how rural elementary teachers experienced Alberta’s 2024 Ministerial Order banning personal mobile devices during instructional time. Using a phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight rural elementary teachers and analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes emerged: policy ambiguity, reduced professional autonomy, emotional labour, and leadership as a mediating force. Findings suggest the policy functioned as more than a classroom technology restriction, shaping trust, instructional flexibility, teacher well-being, and school relationships. The study …

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

Reward seeking is an essential component of human behavior. Anhedonia (reduced motivation for and pleasure in reward) is a core feature of several mental illnesses. Early life adversity associates with later impairments in reward behaviors and related psychopathology; however, specific aspects of early adversity that lead to disrupted reward behaviors are unknown. Capitalizing on evidence that unpredictable signals to the developing brain constitute adversity and influence neurodevelopment, we examined whether exposure to perinatal unpredictable maternal signals associated with diminished reward responsivity, and probed causality using experiments in mice. We analyzed a longitudinal human study (N=158 mother/child dyads) and a …
