Multimodal Analysis of Parentheticals in Conversational Speech
Authors: Lelandais Manon , Ferré Gaëlle
Published: November 2016

Based on a video recording of conversational British English, this paper aims at describing the relation between verbal and non-verbal signals in the production process of parentheticals within the framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis. Parentheticals are described in linguistics as side sequences interrupting linear development. Although their syntactic, prosodic, and discursive characteristics have been deeply analysed, few studies have focused on the articulation of the different communicative modes in their production process. Beyond showing that gesture brings complementary information in regard to prosody, contributing to a composite collateral message, the results allow better delineation and understanding of skip-connecting phenomena as constructing coherence. Changes in the modal configuration throughout the parenthetical sequence suggest modes are dynamic and flexible resources for indexing parentheticals and their particular framing function.

Multimodal Action and Speaker Positioning in Closing Argument
Authors: Gilbert Kristin Enola , Matoesian Gregory M.
Published: November 2016

This paper examines how gesture, gaze, and objects function in speaker positioning, epistemic stance, and the production of evidence during closing argument in a criminal trial. While most research on closing focuses on descriptions of witnesses’ testimony, this research considers the role of objects as communicative action in the construction and co-construction of persuasive legal oratory. We demonstrate how an attorney can reduce social distance between himself and jurors through the use of impersonal and exclusive pronouns and how speech, gesture, and objects integrate along the aesthetic dimension of communicative practice to emphasize and evaluate testimony. More specifically, we demonstrate how a novel form of evidential action emerges through a recurring flow of gaze, objects, and coding practice.
Moving a King: A Social Semiotic Analysis of Knut Steen’s Sculpture of the Norwegian King Olav V, and Its Relocation
Authors: Maagerø Eva , Veum Aslaug
Published: November 2016

This article presents an analysis of Knut Steen’s sculpture of the Norwegian king Olav V from 2006. The sculpture was planned to be placed in the center of Oslo, in front of Oslo City Hall, but was moved to a fjord and mountain landscape in Western Norway, the old trading post Skjerjehamn at the gateway to the Sognefjord. The 7.5 m high massive sculpture of king Olav lifting his arm to a greeting provoked the art commission of the municipality of Oslo. According to the commission, the sculpture was reminicent of art in the Nazi time and of Hitler’s way of greeting. The meaning potential of the sculpture is analysed in three levels, inspired by Jay Lemke’s sandwich model (
Intersubjectivity and Materiality: A Multimodal Perspective
Authors: Pirini Jesse
Published: November 2016

Researchers seeking to analyse how intersubjectivity is established and maintained face significant challenges. The purpose of this article is to provide theoretical/methodological tools that begin to address these challenges. I develop these tools by applying several concepts from multimodal (inter)action analysis to an excerpt taken from the beginning of a tutoring session, drawn from a wider data set of nine one-to-one tutoring sessions. Focusing on co-produced higher-level actions as an analytic site of intersubjectivity, I show that lower-level actions that co-constitute a higher-level action can be delineated into tiers of materiality. I identify three tiers of materiality: durable, adjustable and fleeting. I introduce the theoretical/methodological tool tiers of material intersubjectivity to delineate these tiers analytically from empirical data, and show how these tiers identify a multimodal basis of material intersubjectivity. Building on this analysis I argue that the durable and adjustable tiers of material intersubjectivity produce the interactive substrate, which must be established in order for actions that display fleeting materiality to produce intersubjectivity. These theoretical/methodological tools extend the framework of multimodal (inter)action analysis, and I consider some potential applications beyond the example used here.
The Participatory Stance of the White House on Facebook: A Critical Multimodal Analysis
Authors: Moschini Ilaria
Published: November 2016

The digital revolution has led to the increasing hybridization of American political discourse with the language and the formats of the web, giving rise to a public/private narration where many communication codes merge and where different discursive voices are interwoven. Through the study of a qualitative dataset of messages posted on the “Timeline” section of the White House’s Facebook profile, the paper aims at examining the multimodal meaning-making strategies chosen to encode official messages with a special focus on the combination of words and images. More in detail, adopting a Critical Multimodal perspective (Machin and Mayr 2012; van Leeuwen 2013), the analysis will investigate the stance (Biber and Conrad 2000; Martin and White 2005) of the digitally remediated institutional voice (Askehave and Ellerup Nielsen 2005; Eisenlauer 2013) in order to explore whether such stance and its related textual practices are influenced by the postmodern, libertarian and play-oriented attitude typical of the so-called ‘hacker/geek’ culture (Coleman 2013; Konzack 2006).
Multimodality, Cognitive Poetics, and Genre: Reading Grady Hendrix’s novel Horrorstör
Authors: Gibbons Alison
Published: November 2016

Quirk Books, the publisher of Grady Hendrix’s (2014, Horrorstör. Philadelphia: Quirk Books) Horrorstör, portray the novel on their website as “a traditional haunted house story” but also mention that it “comes conveniently packaged in the form of a retail catalog”. Such description points to two generic foundations: the horror novel, which is manifested primarily through the novel’s literary themes and linguistic style, and the retail catalogue, signalled chiefly through the novel’s multimodal design features. In this paper I argue that in order to account for Horrorstör both as literary experience and as “sly social commentary” (as Quirk books claim), consideration and analysis of genre is vital. The paper subsequently offers a cognitive stylistic approach to multimodal literary genre analysis. In doing so, it presents a reading of the novel as a literary artefact: as fiction and as commodity.
A field archaeological perspective on the Anthropocene
Authors: Riede Felix , Vestergaard Christina , Fredensborg Kristoffer H.
Published: November 2016

In a recent Antiquity debate, Todd Braje and respondents discuss the
merits or otherwise of the recently proposed and hotly contested geological ‘Age of
Man’—the Anthropocene. These papers make a useful contribution to the rapidly growing
literature on this epoch-in-the-making (cf. Swanson et al.2015). Recent publications by members of
the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG; http://quaternary.stratigraphy.org/workinggroups/anthropocene/) suggest a
start date for this epoch of c. 1950 (Zalasiewicz et
al.2015; Waters et al.2016; Zalasiewicz & Waters 2016), the adoption of which would challenge
archaeology as a discipline concerned with deep-time socio-ecological dynamics.
The archaeological potential of Durham University's Sudan Archive
Authors: Ward Chloe
Published: November 2016

Durham University's Sudan Archive was founded in 1957 by former members of the Sudan Government under the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, and by staff from Durham University, including the first director of the Oriental Museum, T.W. Thacker (Cory & Forbes 1983). Since the initial call for donations, the Sudan Archive has now collected 800 boxes of documents and photographs, mainly from former Sudan Government officials. This material now forms an integral part of Durham University Library's special collections (Sudan Archive Catalogue). The archive holds a wide variety of documents, from personal communications and photographs, to official reports mainly pertaining to political and social issues from early twentieth-century Sudan and neighbouring countries. It also includes a wealth of material relevant to the archaeology of both the Sudan and neighbouring countries (e.g. Egypt, Israel, Syria) (Figure 1), yet only a limited amount of the potentially relevant material has been used by archaeologists. The Sudan Archive remains a largely untapped resource for archaeological research. This situation is probably to be explained partly by the description of the archive as a historical and political collection; moreover, a search of the existing catalogue for the term ‘archaeology’ returns only four results, whereas about 700 documents are directly relevant to the subject. An additional problem is that the spellings of both archaeological sites and locations are inconsistent; for example, Meroë also appears asMeroe, MeroweandBakarwiyyeh. To remedy these issues and to make the material more accessible, a recent project has identified over 1000 individual references to archaeological sites or themes and catalogued them in a database (Figure 2).
Breaking away: identity and society in Scotland's Neolithics
Authors: Smyth Jessica
Published: November 2016

Characterising the Neolithic in Britain and Ireland has always been a lively pursuit. Following the referendums on Scottish independence and Brexit, and the consequent shifts in modern cultural and political identities, research into the first farming communities of these islands and their tangled traditions assumes particular resonance. The two volumes under review explore Neolithic identities in Scotland: the first, a festschrift for Gordon Barclay, focused around the theme of mainland Scotland; the second, a monograph pulling together more than two decades of fieldwork led by Colin Richards and colleagues around the Bay of Firth in Orkney.
Effects of coke oven emissions and benzo[a]pyrene on blood pressure and electrocardiogram in coke oven workers
Authors: Yang Kai , Jiang Xuejun , Cheng Shuqun , Chen Chengzhi , Cao Xianqing , Tu Baijie
Published: November 2016

Objective

To evaluate the effects of occupational exposures to coke oven emissions (COEs) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) on the prevalence of hypertension and abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) in coke oven workers.

Methods

We included 880 coke oven workers and 710 oxygen employees in the exposed and control groups, respectively. Blood pressure (BP), ECG, blood lipid levels, and glucose levels of all subjects were measured. COE and B[a]P concentrations at the bottom, side, and top of the oven and control plants were estimated by weighing and high-performance liquid chromatography.

Results

The COE concentration at the top and side was higher than that at the bottom (P <0.05). The levels of B[a]P at the top and side significantly exceeded the limit value. Abnormal BP, ECG, the detection ratio of hypertension and left ventricular high voltage were significantly greater in the exposed group than in the control group (P < 0.05) . The logistic regression analysis results revealed that age and B[a]P exposure were risk factors for hypertension in coke oven workers (P < 0.05) and both were risk factors for abnormal ECG (P < 0.05). Moreover, B[a]P exposure, age, and gender were risk factors for impaired fasting glucose in coke oven workers (P <0.05).

Conclusions

B[a]P and COE exposures are risk factors for hypertension and abnormal ECG in coke oven workers.
Occupational noise-induced hearing loss in auto part factory workers in welding units in Thailand
Authors: Sriopas Apiradee , Chapman Robert S , Sutammasa Saravudh , Siriwong Wattasit
Published: November 2016

Objectives

Most workers in auto part factories in Thailand are usually exposed to excessive noise in their workplace. This study aimed to assess the level of occupational noise-induced hearing loss and investigate risk factors causing hearing loss in auto part factory workers in the welding units in Thailand.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study. One hundred eighty subjects were recruited from 356 workers in the welding unit of three factories. Sixty eligible subjects in each factory were selected by systemic random sampling. The subjects were interviewed using a face-to-face questionnaire. Noise exposure levels and audiograms were measured by a noise dosimeter and an audiometer, respectively.

Results

The findings confirmed that noise exposure levels of 86-90 dB (A) and exceeding 90 dB (A) significantly increased the risk of hearing loss in either ear. A noise exposure level exceeding 90 dB (A) significantly increased the prevalence of hearing loss in both ears. Regarding, a 10-pack-year smoking history increased the prevalence of hearing loss in either ear or both ears. In addition, subjects with employment duration exceeding 10 years significantly developed hearing loss in either ear.

Conclusions

Th engineering control or personal control by wearing hearing protection device should be used to decrease noise exposure levels lower than 85 dB (A) for 8 h. Moreover, if the exposure level reaches 85 dB (A) for 8 h, the employer needs to implement a hearing conservation program in the workplace.

Authors: Imamura Kotaro , Kawakami Norito , Tsuno Kanami , Tsuchiya Masao , Shimada Kyoko , Namba Katsuyuki , Shimazu Akihito
Published: November 2016

Objective

The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial was to examine the effects of a psychoeducational information website on improving work engagement among individual workers with low work engagement, where work engagement was measured as a secondary outcome.

Methods

Participants were recruited from registered members of a web survey site in Japan. Participants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups. Immediately after the baseline survey, the intervention group was invited to study a psychoeducational website called the “UTSMed,” which provided general mental health literacy and cognitive behavioral skills. Work engagement was assessed by using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale at baseline, 1-, and 4-month follow-ups for both intervention and control groups. An exploratory analysis was conducted for a subgroup with low (lower than the median scores) work engagement scores at baseline.

Results

A total of 1,236 workers completed the baseline survey. In the low work engagement subgroup, a total of 313 and 300 participants were allocated to an intervention and control group, respectively. In the high work engagement subgroup, 305 and 318 participants were allocated to an intervention and control group, respectively. The program showed a significant effect on work engagement (t = 1.98, P = 0.048) at the 4-month follow-up in the low work engagement subgroup, with a small effect size (d = 0.17).

Conclusion

A web-based psychoeducation resource of mental health literacy and cognitive behavioral skills may be effective for improving work engagement among individual workers with low work engagement.

Teuto-argentino, teuto-brasileiro, teuto-chileno: identidades em debate
Authors: Rambo Arthur B.
Published: November 2016

Durante o século dezenove e no decorrer das primeiras décadas do século vinte, foram implantados projetos de colonização alemã no Brasil, na Argentina e no Chile. Apresentavam- se com semelhanças muito grandes nos três países, tanto nos objetivos, como no modelo de estrutura agrária, como na organização das comunidades rurais. Merece ser destacado neste processo a ocupação de grandes regiões mediante um povoamento maciço de exclusiva etnia alemã. Os imigrantes e seus descendentes das primeiras gerações permaneceram fiéis à língua e à tradição alemã. Na condição, porém, de cidadãos dos respectivos países foram sendo assimilados lentamente na sociedade maior que compunham a nação argentina, brasileira ou chilena. Desta situação ambígua, originou-se, a partir da década de 1930, uma discussão em todos os níveis, em torno da interrogação: Depois de duas, três ou até quatro gerações, o que somos, qual a nossa identidade, ainda somos alemães e em que sentido, até que ponto já somos chilenos, argentinos ou brasileiros? Ou, quem sabe nos resumimos a não sermos mais o que fomos e ainda não sermos aquilo que deveremos ser no futuro? Em outras palavras: o que entende o imigrante alemão no Chile quando se autodenomina de teuto-chileno, o imigrante alemão na Argentina, quando se denomina de teuto-argentino, ou o imigrante alemão no Brasil, quando se denomina teutobrasileiro? Abstract During the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, German colonization projects were implemented in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. These colonization projects were very similar in all three countries in terms of their goals, the model of agrarian structure and the organization of rural communities. This process of colonization was characterized by the massive occupation of large areas exclusively by Germans. The immigrants and their descendents of the first generation remained faithful to the German tradition. However, as citizens of those three countries they were slowly assimilated into the Argentine, Brazilian end Chilean societies. This ambiguous situation gave rise, since 1930, to a discussion at all levels focusing on the issue of identity: after two, three or even four generations, what are we? What is our identity? Are we still Germans? In which sense or to what extent are we already Chileans, Argentines or Brazilian? Or perhaps we are no longer what we used to be and are not yet what we should be in the future? In other words: When the German immigrants in Chile call themselves German-Chileans, when German immigrants in Argentina call themselves German-Argentines and when the German immigrants in Brazil call themselves German- Brazilians, what do they men by that?

Published: November 2016

The aim of this project was to study the zooplanktonic composition of the Itapecerica river in its 29km urban section across the city of Divinópolis, state of Minas Gerais. Eight sampling points were established within this section, six in lotic and two in lentic waters. Samples were taken monthly from March/2002 to February/2003 totalizing 84 samples. A plankton net with a mesh opening size of 35 μm was utilized for sampling. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and electrical conductivity measurements were also taken during sampling. 101 taxa were registered, of which 35 were Protozoa, 52 Rotifera, 10 Cladocera and four Copepoda. The number of taxa was considered high when compared to similar studies. Among the richest group, rotifers, the most expressed genera were Lecane and Brachionus. This study recorded the first appearance of the exotic species Kellicottia bostoniensis (Rousselet 1908) for the sub-basin of Itapecerica river.

Authors: Alix Mitchell S. , Scribailo Robin W.
Published: November 2016

We provide the first checklist of the obligate aquatic macrophytes of Indiana, including the geographical distribution and frequency of occurrence of each taxon. The checklist is composed of 216 taxa distributed among 85 genera within 43 families. Families exhibiting the greatest richness of taxa are the Potamogetonaceae and Cyperaceae. Approximately 50 % of these taxa are widespread, whereas only 3.7 % are restricted to either the northern or southern regions of the state. An identification code is provided for each taxon and coefficients of conservatism (C values) are given for 189 native taxa, including 18 species of characean algae. C values assigned to native taxa range from 0-10, with a median value of 6. The C values of aquatic macrophytes presented here bear greater similarity to those proposed by Rothrock (2004) for the State of Indiana than to those established by Swink and Wilhelm (1994) for the Chicago region.

Sungai Siak merupakan salah satu daerah penangkapan ikan (fishing ground) yang cukup penting bagi masyarakat nelayan di Provinsi Riau. Sungai Siak mempunyai karakteristik perairan di mana bagian tengah berasosiasi dengan rawa banjiran (floodplain). Perairan bagian hilir dipengaruhi pasang surut air laut dan berair payau bagian hulunya terletak di dataran tinggi berair tawar. Sepanjang aliran sungai menerima aliran beberapa anak sungai dengan karakteristik yang beragam.Udang galah (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) merupakan salah satu sumber daya ikan yang banyak dimanfaatkan. Udang galah mempunyai nilai ekonomis tinggi. Di Provinsi Riau, pasokan udang galah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen didominansi dari hasil tangkapan di perairan umum. Di Sungai Siak, udang galah dapat ditemukan di bagian hilir sampai hulu sungai.Utomo (2001)mengatakan bahwa siklus hidup udang galah memerlukan dua habitat yaitu perairan air tawar dan payau. Udang galah tumbuh dewasa dan kawin di perairan tawar, dan telur menetas sampai post larva berada di perairan payau.

Ikan baung munti adalah salah satu famili dari Bagridae. Mempunyai ciri sungut rahang bawah bagian luar maupun dalam lurus. Berwarna hitam dengan garis putih sepanjang gurat sisi. Sirip lemak panjang dan tidak terikat oleh badan bagian belakang (Kottelat et al., 1993).Dari ikan contoh yang diperoleh diSungai Musi telah ditemukan tiga jenis ikan baungmunti yaitu jenis Bagroides melapterus, Bagrichthys macracanthus, dan Bagrichthys micranodus.Setiap ikan mempunyai ukuran yang berbeda beda, tergantung pada umur, jenis kelamin, dan keadaan lingkungan hidupnya. Faktor-faktor lingkungan dapat mempengaruhi kehidupan ikan antara lainmakanan, pH, suhu, dan salinitas, dengan demikian, walaupun dua ekor ikan mempunyai umur yang sama namun ukuran mutlak di antara keduanya dapat saling berbeda.Ukuran ikan adalah jarak antara suatu bagian tubuh dengan bagian tubuh yang lainnya. Pada tulisan ini akan diinformasikan tentang hasil dari pengukuran morfometrik pada ikan baungmunti jenis Bagrichthysmacracanthus yang hidup di Sungai Musi bagian hilir.

Published: November 2016

Perairan umum lebak lebung merupakan sumber perikanan darat (air tawar) yang penting bagi Indonesia dan daerah tropika lain, karena bukan sajamerupakan sumber protein hewani yang murah bagi penduduk, tetapi juga merupakan sumber ikan komersial. Lebak lebung merupakan perairan yangairnya mengalir secara berkala serta meluap menggenangi daerah sekitarnya pada musim penghujan dan menyurut pada musim kemarau. Jenis ikan yang hidup di perairan lebak lebung pada umumnya masuk dalam ordo Labyrinthysi dan jenis ikan ini mempunyai alat pernapasan tambahan berupa labirin, sehingga dapat hidup di perairan yang kadar oksigennya rendah dan agak asam.Perairan lebak lebung bukan saja terdapat di Indonesia, akan tetapi juga terdapat di daerah tropika dan sub tropika di dataran Asia, Afrika, dan Amerika Latin. Perairan ini dicirikan dengan adanya sifat musiman yang dapat dilihat dari perubahan tinggi air, luas permukaan, produksi organisme,makanan ikan, pemijahan ikan, sampai pada penangkapan ikan.
AKLIMATISASI BENIH IKAN PATIN (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) UNTUK PERSIAPAN PENEBARAN IKAN DI WADUK MALAHAYU, JAWA TENGAH
Authors: Romdon Soleh
Published: November 2016

Aklimatisasi benih ikan adalah waktu yang diperlukan oleh benih ikan untuk beradaptasi dengan lingkungannya yang baru seperti di waduk atau situ.Ikan patin (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) merupakan jenis ikan konsumsi air tawar, berbadan panjang berwarna putih perak dengan punggungberwarna kebiru-biruan. Ikan patin dikenal sebagai komoditi yang berprospek cerah, karena memiliki harga jual yang tinggi. Hal ini yangmenyebabkan ikanpatin mendapat perhatian dan diminati oleh para pengusaha untuk membudidayakannya (Arifin et al., 1997). Ikan ini cukup responsif terhadap pemberian makanan tambahan. Pada pembudidayaan, dalam usia enam bulan ikan patin dapat mencapai panjang 35-40 cm. Sebagai keluarga Pangasidae, ikan ini tidak membutuhkan perairan yang mengalir untukmendukung pertumbuhan. Pada perairan yang tidak mengalir dengan kandungan oksigen rendahpun sudah memenuhi syarat untuk membesarkan ikan ini. Ikan patin berbadan panjang untuk ukuran ikan tawar lokal, warna putih seperti perak, dan punggung berwarna kebiru-biruan. Kepala ikan patin relatif kecil, mulut terletak di ujung kepala agak di sebelah bawah (merupakan ciri khas golongan catfish). Ikan patin pada sudut mulutnya terdapat dua pasang kumis pendek yang berfungsi sebagai peraba. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menguraikan pelaksanaanaklimatisasi benih ikan patin di Waduk Malahayu untuk mendukung program pemacuan stok melalui perikanan berbasis budi daya (culture based fisheries).

Sungai Siak merupakan salah satu sungai terbesar di Indonesia yang mengairi daerah sekitar Kepulauan Riau, Pekanbaru. Seiring dengan waktukeadaan sungai mulai berubah, dengan banyaknya penduduk dan pabrik di sekitar sungai tersebut, Sungai Siak sekarang sudah mulai tercemar baikkarena bahan organik maupun anorganik ataupun bahan kimia. Beberapa hasil penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa Sungai Siak sudah diambangpencemaran (Husnah et al., 2008).Sebagai salah satu indikator pencemaran perairan dapat dilihat dari jenis maupun kelimpahan zooplankton (Fachrul, 2007). Zooplankton merupakanplankton berupa hewan, pada mulanya organisme tersebut diklasifikasikan ke dalam kelompok zooplankton tetapi dengan seiring perkembangan penelitian maka terungkap sifat mikrotrofi maka ada tingkatan yang mampu memproduksi makanan sendiri (fotosintesis). Peranan zooplankton menempati posisi penting dalan rantai makanan dan jaring-jaring kehidupan di perairan (Fachrul, 2007).
