Authors: Mohammadi Shir Ahmad Dost , Gezegin Cenk
Published: July 2022

In this paper, the design and simulation of a 5 MW solar power plant in Ghor province, Afghanistan have been investigated. A suitable place at a distance of about 8.17 km from the center of the province was selected as the power plant location. The main objective of this study is the investigation of solar renewable energy resources' capacity for generation of electrical energy from domestic resources to provide reliable and sustainable energy in the center of the Ghor province which is currently not connected to the national electrical grid. In this power plant, 6399 kWp, STP-320 W PV module, and 5300 kW Growatt convertor type were used. The PVSYST, PVGIS, and HOMER renewable energy simulation tools were used for analyzing the system. The results obtained from each simulation tool were compared together. Analysis of the results using HOMER and PVGIS shows that the annual energy generated using each simulation tool is about 11698 MWh and 10673 MWh respectively while the result from PVSYST is 11938 MWh per year. According to the obtained values, results from PVSYST depict 240 MWh more energy generation than HOMER and 1265 MWh than PVGIS simulation tools annually. These values indicate that PVSYST produces higher annual power for this system than HOMER and PVGIS. Comparing the annual generated power results of the simulations with reference to the PVSYST results, it can be concluded that PVGIS is 10.6% lower and HOMER is 2% lower. There is about a 2% difference between PVSYST and HOMER.

Authors: De Lara Alicia , García-Avilés José-Alberto , Arias-Robles Félix
Published: July 2022

Existen ejemplos sólidos de las posibilidades de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en la industria periodística. Teniendo en cuenta que esta tecnología ya se está aplicando en tareas de automatización para la generación de contenidos, en la detección de bulos o en la interacción con los usuarios, resulta relevante preguntar a los profesionales que la están implantando en los medios sobre qué impacto piensan que tiene y tendrá en un futuro próximo. La investigación pone el foco en cómo, en qué áreas y con qué resultados e implicaciones éticas se ha llevado a cabo la implementación de la IA en los medios españoles. El trabajo parte de la consulta mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a 21 profesionales de medios que trabajan con herramientas de IA en sus redacciones. A juicio de los expertos, no hay duda de que la IA jugará un papel importante en la industria, aunque todavía se trata de una tecnología incipiente. Mencionan diversos proyectos de éxito tanto en el panorama nacional como internacional y consideran que la integración exitosa de la IA pasa por una tarea conjunta entre la redacción, el conocimiento técnico y la capacidad de análisis, unidas al desarrollo del negocio.

Authors: Trabadela-Robles Javier
Published: July 2022

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha sido la noticia más importante y tratada en 2020 a nivel mundial. Las informaciones textuales han ido acompañadas de imágenes de diversa tipología, a pesar de las dificultades implícitas para los fotoperiodistas. En este trabajo se analizan las imágenes relacionadas con la pandemia mundial que han sido premiadas en cuatro de los certámenes fotográficos de mayor prestigio mundial: World Press Photo, Sony World Photography Awards, Pulitzer Prizes & International Photo Awards. El objetivo es determinar qué temas son tratados y qué características más importantes técnicas y formales tienen las obras. Se utiliza el análisis de contenido mediante una ficha ad hoc basada en modelos previos (Del Valle, 1993, Marzal, 2007; Doucet, 2008; Trabadela, 2018). De los resultados se extrae que la temática es diversa, ya se trate la pandemia de forma directa (atención a las víctimas y profesionales), o de forma indirecta (confinamientos y consecuencias).
Autorretrato y marca personal: Cómo se ven y cómo ven su futuro los estudiantes de Periodismo.
Authors: Conde Mariola
Published: July 2022

Casi la totalidad (93%) de los estudiantes que han participado en este proyecto manifiestan que nunca habían realizado con anterioridad un ejercicio de introspección. A pesar de la importancia del autoconocimiento para el desarrollo de las habilidades para la vida, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (Who, 1994), el 87% de los alumnos demostraba un conocimiento escaso y confuso sobre sí mismos, sus aptitudes, capacidades y expectativas de futuro. Una vez realizado el ejercicio, calificado de “muy positivo” y “útil” por el 100% de los participantes, los alumnos y alumnas muestran sus preferencias laborales, estando muy cerca el porcentaje de los que quieren dedicarse al periodismo en medios de comunicación, de los que se decantan por trabajar en otras áreas más vinculadas a la comunicación corporativa o el entorno digital. El estudiantado se muestra consciente de las altas barreras de entrada al mercado laboral y de la creciente competencia, pero señalan las posibilidades que pueden encontrarse ante una profesión en pleno cambio. La totalidad del alumnado declara que seguirá su formación para especializarse y poder ser más competitivos. En general, los participantes se muestran ilusionados y con expectativas ante el futuro, más del 75% de ellos quieren desarrollar su vida profesional en el territorio en el que viven y las personas que más admiran, para el 82%, son sus padres y madres.

 

Con este estudio se abren nuevas líneas de investigación para determinar si es necesario, o no, realizar ejercicios de introspección y autoconocimiento de forma pautada, incluso antes de que el alumnado comience sus estudios universitarios.

L2 self of Omani college and university students: An exploration on L2 Learning Experience
Authors: Selwyn Cruz  , Kristine D. de Leon  , Junifer A. Abatayo
Published: July 2022

Most studies on L2 Motivational System focus on the ideal and ought-to self-guides leaving the L2 Learning Experience (L2LE) behind in that insufficient empirical information about it exists. The present study is a follow up study of Cruz and Shabibi (2019) to report on the L2 Motivational Self System of Omani college students; thus, a classification of the L2LE with respect to the learning context of Omani college students was developed. It specifically seeks to know which aspects of the students‟ L2LE make an impact on their L2 motivation. Through the data obtained from 294 Omani college and university students, it was found that the Omani college and university students make use of their ideal self and L2LE more than the ought-to self. Statistical data found positive correlations between the L2 self-guides and L2LE components. It was also found that the formal and informal education are tantamount to being sources of L2 motivation for Omani students. Theoretical and pedagogical implications on the L2LE are also offered in the study.

Authors: Maria Isabel F. Vergel  , Aileen G. Valle
Published: July 2022

The implementation of the K12 system in the Philippines has created a major shift in the Philippine educational system. The present study aimed to determine the level of learner‟s language competency on the five macro skills (i.e., Reading, Listening, Writing, Viewing, and Speaking) which will serve as a baseline data in the creation of a language module. Anchoring on both Target Situation Analysis (TSA) and Present Situation Analysis (PSA), the study was conducted among 65 grade 10 students and 3 language teachers using three research instruments including teachers‟ and students‟ questionnaires, interview, and document analysis. Triangulation was conducted to validate the results obtained from the three instruments. Based on the results of the triangulation approach, findings revealed that among the macro skills assessed in the study, three of these skills namely reading, speaking, and writing were noted to be the least mastered by the learners; thus, these skills should be given much attention in the language instruction. Implications of the present study include the necessity of providing more authentic and meaningful exercises aligned to those skills in order to address their identified difficulties.

Authors: Elizabeth B. Alibangbang  , Donnie M. Tulud
Published: July 2022

This study was conducted to establish the rhetorical patterns of master’s thesis acknowledgment sections in different masters’ degree programs of one of the leading state universities in the Philippines. The analysis of the fifty-one (51) randomly sampled research acknowledgments revealed that the research acknowledgments from different programs follow the general framework proposed by Hyland (2004). However, some specific moves and steps in the acknowledgments sections under study are not consistent with the model provided by Hyland. This implies that the research acknowledgment section can be written in a variety of styles depending on the orientation of the writer.
Explicit Contextual and Morphemic Analysis Instruction, Vocabulary, and Reading Comprehension Among Grade Four Students
Authors: Eliza Sarabia Ong  , Portia P. Padilla
Published: July 2022

The schema theory, cognitive load theory, interactive model of reading, and lexical quality hypothesis recognizes the primacy of vocabulary in reading comprehension. Substantial empirical research affirms this relationship. Despite these, vocabulary teaching in the classroom remains sparse. The present study sought to find out if explicit instruction in contextual and morphemic analysis would improve vocabulary and reading comprehension. It also examined which aspects of vocabulary and reading comprehension would improve the most. This study used a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest within-subjects design. Participants were 38 students from two comparable Grade 4 classes. Explicit instruction in contextual and morphemic analysis was given through twelve expert-validated lesson plans that were implemented across 18 weeks. The tools used were the expert-validated and field-tested Researcher-Constructed Vocabulary Test and Researcher-Constructed Reading Comprehension Test. Dependent-samples t-test results revealed a significant increase in the students’ vocabulary and reading comprehension scores. These results are generally consistent with most theoretical and empirical literature. In terms of vocabulary, contextual analysis-wise, the biggest gain was in example clues, while morphemic analysis-wise, the largest increase was in the over/under word part family. In terms of reading comprehension, the biggest increase was in the integrative level. Overall, the findings suggest that explicit instruction in contextual and morphemic analysis is an effective method of teaching vocabulary strategies which impacts not only vocabulary but also reading comprehension. This has implications for instruction, curriculum planning, pre-service and in-service teacher training, and research.
‘I play, therefore I can’: Using Drama Activities to Reduce the English speaking Anxiety of College Students
Authors: Anne Richie Balgos
Published: July 2022

Research on drama and anxiety remains relatively unexplored in applied linguistics and language teaching in the Philippines. This study addresses this need by looking into the effects of drama activities on college students in the Philippines who were observed to have anxiety in speaking. More specifically, the study involves the students in a series of improvisational activities, aiming to improve their confidence in speaking. Student motivation, anxiety, and confidence in speaking English are measured by pretest and post-test survey, interviews, and observations in implementing a workshop that employs drama activities. Drawing from Vygotsky’s (1978) zone of proximal development (ZPD), this study examines the efficiency of drama activities in providing a safe space where they can motivate one another and learn collaboratively. The findings of this study may encourage language teachers to design strategies that scaffold learning activities to minimize anxiety and reinforce positive attitudes towards speaking in English.
Travails of Bangsamoro Learners on Multilingualism: A Phenomenology
Authors: Nor-ain S. Udat  , Fhajema M. Kunso
Published: July 2022

This phenomenological study describes the struggles and coping mechanisms in Multilingual learning among the learners in Hadji Ali Baganian Memorial School Inc. It utilized the method described by Colaizzi (1978) to analyze data, including familiarization, identifying significant statements, formulating meanings, clustering themes, developing a detailed description, producing the fundamental structure, and verifying the fundamental structure. The participants were the ten purposively selected Grade 9 students at the said school who performed average to outstanding levels in their respective classes. This school has provided Bangsamoro learners educational perspectives both in the private Madaris and the DepEd curriculum. The findings revealed that the participants encountered difficulties with multilingualism. The difficulties include negative attitude and complexity of the rules in phonology, a poor background of students in word stratification in morphology, poor sentence construction due to the complexity of rules in syntax, and word recognition and correct usage in semantics. Five coping mechanisms were identified to address these difficulties. These were oral practicing, using a dictionary, tutorial, listening attentively, taking notes, and internet surfing. These identified coping mechanisms were summarized into one emergent theme – intrinsic motivation. The researchers concluded that language users and language learners need to know their language needs, background, progress in acquiring the target language, and capability to use it.
Variations in the Maguindanaon Language
Authors: Fhajema M. Kunso  , Riceli C. Mendoza
Published: July 2022

People who live in the same region and speak the same language still vary in some aspects of their language in terms of pronunciation, lexicon, morphology, and syntax. This qualitative study described the phonological, morphological, and lexical variations of the Maguindanaon language among the ten Maguindanao municipalities. Purposive sampling, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions were employed. The variations occurred through phonemic changes and other phonological and morphological processes. Phonological processes consisted of vowel lengthening and deletion. In the phonological variation, it was observed that there were phonemic changes from one dialect to another. For example, there was a phoneme /r/ to /l/change where the phoneme /r/ was most likely to occur in Kabuntalan like /biru/, /kurIt/, and /kɘmɅr/ while the rest of the dialects were /bilu/, /kuIɪt/, and /kɘmɅl/ respectively. Findings show that lexical and morphological variations also existed in the Maguindanaon language. Results revealed that the variation in phonology, morphology, and lexicon was associated primarily with geographic distribution.

There exists an electron vortex solution with orbital angular momentum quantum in a non-spin-orbit coupling system which has nonconservative orbital angular momentum. We discuss the system with spin-orbit coupling and nonconservative orbital angular momentum, and we can find that the electrons with the total angular momentum numbers also have vortex beam solutions. And the vortex beam is expressed as an entangled wave function of the spin wave function and the vortex wave function. Taking the electrons in the central force field for example, in this paper constructed is a spinor vortex structure which is caused by the propagation of electrons carrying a fixed quantum number of total angular momentum along the z-axis. The spinor vortex structure is under the condition that the orbital angular momentum caused by spin-orbit coupling is non-conserved but the total angular momentum is conserved. The corresponding electron vortex beams in spin-vortex entanglement are solved by perturbation method, and the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is utilized to show that the vortex solution of the four-component spinor does exist in the case of relativity, when the electron with a fixed total angular momentum quantum number propagates along the z-axis in the central force field. The spinor provides theoretical support for the existence of the vortex structure for the system where the orbital angular momentum is not conserved but the total angular momentum is conserved due to spin-orbit coupling.

Published: July 2022

Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and dielectric constant for the SiO2/polytetrafluoroethylene (SiO2/PTFE) dielectric composite are mainly influenced by their filling content, and how to accurately predict the effect is still a great challenge untill now. In this work, the CTE and dielectric constant of SiO2/PTFE dielectric composite are systematically investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that with the increase of SiO2 content, CTE of SiO2/PTFE dielectric composite decreases, and the dielectric constant increases, which are in good agreement with the data reported in the literature (Han K K, Zhou J, Li Q Z, Shen J, Qi Y Y, Yao X P, Chen W 2020 J. Mater. Sci. Mater. Electron. 31 9196). The 30% (volume fraction) solid SiO2 sphere (SSS)/PTFE dielectric composite is the smallest CTE of 7.5×10–5 K–1, while 10% (volume fraction) hollow solid sphere (HSS)/PTFE possesses the smallest dielectric constant of 2.06. The CTE of SiO2/PTFE dielectric composite may decrease when the SiO2 distribution is dense at the bottom. The large aspect ratio of SiO2 filler may reduce CTEx of SiO2/PTFE dielectric composite. The molding parameters have little effect on the thermal expansion coefficient of the solid SiO2/PTFE composite dielectric material. This work provides a clear insight into the controlling of CTE and dielectric constant of SiO2/PTFE dielectric composite by adjusting its microstructure.
Numerical Ranges of the Real 2×2 Matrices Derived by First Principles
Authors: Mladenova Clementina D. , Mladenov Ivaïlo M.
Published: July 2022

Here we demonstrate how the very definition of the numerical range leads to its direct geometrical identification. The procedure which we follow can be even slightly refined by making use of the famous Jacobi's method for diagonalization in reverse direction. From mathematical point of view, the Jacobi's idea here is used to reduce the number of the independent parameters from three to two which simplifies significantly the problem. As a surplus we have found an explicit recipe how to associate a Cassinian oval with the numerical range of any real $2\times 2$ matrix. Last, but not least, we have derived their explicit parameterizations.
To Make A Difference: Interpersonal Meanings in Museum-Texts: A Case-Study of the Children’s Museum in Amman
Authors: El-Sharif Ahmad
Published: July 2022

Systemic Functional Linguistics explicates how texts communicate ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings. Texts produced by cultural and pedagogic institutions, such as museums, depend on several discursive choices to construct interpersonal meanings communicated through the interaction between the institution, and what it stands for, and the interactant visitors. Museum-texts communicate to/with visitors meanings pertaining to social relationships construed by both the museum and its audience and communicate the mutual relationships between them in relation to role, status, social distance, and feelings of solidarity and affiliation. Meanwhile, children museums have become a widespread phenomenon that promote edifying missions communicated to children through entertaining, interacting, and learning. This study recognises how one exhibition, named ‘I am Change’ in the Children’s Museum in Amman, relies on verbal interpersonal communication to align its young visitors into shared dispositions and perspectives towards environmental concerns related to the importance of conserving electric energy and water resources in Jordan.
Emergence of English New Native Speakers in Nigeria: Reclassifying the English Speakers
Authors: Samuel Akanbi Babatunde,
Published: July 2022

This research decolonises the concept of new native speakers to mean “those who are born in the inner circle” and establishes that, there are native speakers of English in Nigeria. More recently, a group of speakers has been identified known as; the English New Native Speakers. These speakers are mostly monolinguals, who have a good command of the English Language. They are without or with the bit of ability to speak or comprehend the local language(s) used around them. The new native speaker is a 21st-century phenomenon because these speakers have not been in existence in Nigeria before this time. This paper establishes the emergence of the New English Native Speakers in Nigeria and calls for the addition of new native speakers of English in the taxonomy of the existing classification of the speakers of English in Nigeria. This paper, therefore, advocates for the re-classification of the English speakers in Nigeria to include these new speakers. I postulate that the new taxonomy of the speakers in Nigeria should be grouped thus: English new native speakers (speakers with little or no indigenous language), English as a second language (those who developed English as a second language, English as the first language (those who speak English as the first language and later developed an indigenous language).
Teaching L2 Vocabulary Through Animated Movie Clips with English Subtitles
Authors: Khadawardi Hanadi Abdulrahman
Published: July 2022

Vocabulary mastery is essential for second language (L2) students. Several trends in foreign language vocabulary research and pedagogy have emerged during the 21st century. Perhaps the most significant is the technological revolution and the ever-increasing availability of English-language materials on the Internet. Thus, the present study examines the effectiveness of watching video clips with English subtitles in online classrooms to improve L2 students’ vocabulary learning and short- and long-term retention. The study consisted of a one-group, pretest-posttest quasi-experiment in which participants were taught two sets of L2 vocabulary using two methods: the presentation of subtitled clips from animated movies and first language (L1) translation and text-based activities. The participants consisted of 35 female students. The data collection was stratified into four steps: two pretests administered for both vocabulary sets before the interventions, short follow-up tests after both interventions, semi-structured interviews, and two posttests for both vocabulary sets administered at the end of the module. The data was subjected to statistical and thematic analysis. The results indicated that watching movie clips with subtitles had an effective learning result and a positive impact on students’ motivation to learn L2 vocabulary. The integration of multimedia tools and applications through the presentation of video clips with English subtitles had a powerful effect on vocabulary recognition, comprehension and retention. Participants achieved higher scores on the vocabulary posttests from watching movie clips with English subtitles than from learning vocabulary through a traditional teaching method. Therefore, the current study should serve as a foundation for future studies to validate and reference its results.
Expressing Ethnic and Cultural Identity in Chechen Poetry: a Case Study of Chechens in Jordan
Authors: Hadi M. Al-Malkawi Mohammad , N. AlBzour Naser
Published: July 2022

The major purpose of this paper is to investigate how Jordanian Chechens premeditatedly try to maintain major characteristics and components of their language and identity in their folk lyrics. The study evidently reveals that such poems substantially contribute to the preservation of major features of Chechen cultural identity. The researchers collect and analyze data using descriptive qualitative research methods. The data in question were gathered through observation, participation, and field notes; in addition, a gatekeeper (friend-to-friend contact) facilitates the entrance to this isolated ethnic society over the course of a year. This study is mainly dedicated to examining how this can be attained with relevance to the seven types of meanings presented by Leech (1981). Therefore, it aims to illustrate how these seven types of meanings exist and operate in three selected Chechen poems; mainly, Death or Freedom, Lonely Night, and Little Soldier, by exploring the ethical and cultural background and dissecting the themes found in these poems. Furthermore, this study draws upon the integrated framework which is based on Leech’s (1981) seven forms of meaning: Denotative, Connotative, Collocative, Affective, Stylistic, Thematic, and Reflective meaning. The study clearly exhibits that Chechen poems typically and primarily comprise a major range of topics such as war, country, romance, migration, masculinity, and bravery, as well as essential features of family and household matters that help to preserve Chechen culture in all aspects of everyday life, including food, home, neighborhoods, festivities, rituals, clothing, and music.
The Effect of Teaching Metacognitive Reading Strategies on the Critical Thinking Skills of Undergraduate Students
Authors: Babashamasi Parastoo , Binti Noordin Nooreen , Shakib Kotamjani Sedigheh
Published: July 2022

Metacognitive strategies have been investigated as facilitating tools for students’ reading comprehension. No studies have investigated the effect of systematic teaching of metacognitive reading strategies on students’ critical thinking skills. The present quasi-experimental study examined the effect of explicit metacognitive strategy instruction and critical thinking skills of ESL international freshman university students. Data were collected from two homogeneous 25-member groups of experimental and control learners randomly assigned to these groups. The experimental group and control group underwent 14 sessions of training. The results related to critical thinking tests revealed the mean scores of students in the metacognitive group were significantly higher than the mean score of the students in the conventional reading group (F= 1.3,82.3) = 215.973. p 0.001). Another interesting finding is that teaching metacognitive reading strategies significantly improved students’ induction (14.72) and credibility (14.30) skills. The findings provide insights for integrating metacognitive reading strategies and critical thinking skills in higher education contexts.
Evaluation of High School English Textbooks: “English for Afghanistan” based on McDonough and Shaw’s (2003) Model
Authors: Bari Rahmany Abdul , Rizwan Khan Mohammad
Published: July 2022

The textbook is an integral component of the ELT classroom. They need to be evaluated periodically, as the needs of learners change according to time, context, and approaches to identify their strengths and weakness. The aim of this research is to evaluate High School English textbooks at schools in Afghanistan. The textbooks include ELT books: ‘English for Afghanistan: for grades 10-12’ designed by the Ministry of Education of Afghanistan. For this purpose, the researcher used McDonough Shaw’s (2003) model. Both the external and the internal evaluation criteria are applied to the textbooks. The findings indicate that the textbooks are designed for local purposes, which reflect Afghan religious and cultural values. The study also indicated that the textbooks are based on communicative language teaching which includes different situations for teaching the topics. However, the textbooks also had some drawbacks. The listening skill, which is the main component of the CLT approach, is completely neglected; the grammar activities are brought in the deductive approach, and the textbooks are gender-biased. Overall, the textbooks are up to date and meet the learners’ needs and wants, and can achieve the objectives made for each unit. However, the findings of the research can be more useful for teachers, syllabus designers, materials developers, methodology experts, and test designers in revising the textbooks.

giden hastalar, yaş ve cinsiyete göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Pandemi öncesinde ve pandemi sürecinde KBB polikliniklere giden hasta sayılarında azalış mı veya artış mı olduğu ve pandemi sürecinde hastaların daha çok hangi şikâyetlerle
polikliniklere gittikleri incelenmiştir. Retrospektif nitelikte olan bu çalışma, 01.01.2019 ve 31.05.2021 tarihleri arasında, Elazığ Fethi Sekin Şehir Hastanesi KBB polikliniklerine giden 157830 hastayı kapsamaktadır. İstatistiksel
hesaplamalar ve analiz için SPSS (ver: 22) paket programı kullanıldı. Üzerinde durulan özellikler için tanımlayıcı istatistikler; ortalama, sayı ve yüzde olarak verilmiştir. Grupların özellikleri bakımından pandemi öncesi ile pandemi
sürecini karşılaştırmada eşleştirilmiş t- testi kullanılmıştır. Hesaplamalarda istatistik anlamlılık (önemlilik) düzeyi %5 olarak alınmıştır. Pandemi öncesi aylara bakıldığındaKBB polikliniklerine başvuran kadın hastaların ortalaması
3510,67 iken erkek hastaların ortalaması 3359,40 olup ele alınan bu ayların tümünde daha çok kadın hastaların başvurduğu görülmektedir. Pandemi sürecinde KBB polikliniklerine başvuran erkek hastaların ortalaması 1941,71 iken kadın
hastaların ortalaması 1971,07’dir. Pandemi öncesi ve pandemi sürecindeki aylara bakıldığında 19-54 yaş arası hastaların daha çok olduğu görülmektedir. Bu süreçte en çok azalan 0-18 yaş arasındaki hastalar olmuştur. Pandemi süresince
KBB polikliniklerine başvuran hastalarda en fazla 0-18 yaş arası hastaların sayısında azalma daha sonra 55 ve üzeri yaş aralığındaki hasta sayısında azalma ve en az da 19-54 yaş arasındaki hasta sayısında azalma olmuştur.Elde edilen
verilere göre pandemi öncesine göre KBB polikliniklerine başvuran hasta sayılarında bir düşüş görülmüştür.

Bireyin hayatının ayrılmaz bir parçası olan iletişimin sağlanması noktasında dilin kritik bir önemi bulunmaktadır. Kişinin kendisini ifade edebilmesi, duygularını ve düşüncelerini karşısındaki diğer kişilere aktarabilmesi noktasında
dil oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Dil, bir toplumun içerisinde yaşayan ve varlık gösteren bireylerin eylemleri ve düşünceleri ile şekil almaktadır. Dilin, söz konusu toplumda yaşayan bireylerin duygu ve düşünceleri üzerinde
de büyük bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Bireyin hayatının vazgeçilmez bir parçası olan dil, kişinin dünyayı anlamlandırması ve toplumsal olaylara karşı bir perspektif oluşturmasında ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda ise günlük hayatta
kullanılan dil ile son derece önemli bir toplumsal sorun olan toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin de yeniden üretildiği görülmektedir. Dilin içerisine yerleşmiş olan cinsiyetçi söylemlerin toplumun bakış açısını da bu yönde şekillendirdiği
söylenebilmektedir. Bu kapsamda araştırmanın amacını, Türkçe’ye ve günlük hayatta kullanılan dilin içerisine yerleşmiş olan ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği pekiştiren ifadelerin incelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında
örneklem olarak veri zenginliği sağlamak amacıyla amaçlı örnekleme kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Makale kapsamında, Türk Dil Kurumu Sözlükleri’nin internet sitesi olan www.sozluk.gov.tr adresinde
“kadın”, “erkek”, “kız”, “adam” anahtar kelimeleri aratılarak bu kelimelerin alt başlığında yer alan “atasözleri, deyimler veya birleşik fiiller” toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin günlük hayatta kullanılan dile yansıması bağlamında
incelenmiştir. İçerik analizi kapsamında "kadın cinsiyeti üzerine üretilen ifadeler" ve "erkek cinsiyeti üzerine üretilen ifadeler" olmak üzere iki kategori oluşturulmuştur. Bu iki kategori altında araştırmada elde edilen veriler
içerik analizi ile çözümlenmektedir. Elde edilen verilerin büyük bir kısmında kadının, erkek cinsiyeti karşısında ikinci planda tutulduğu, kadının, toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri bağlamında sınırlandırıldığı ve erkek cinsiyetinin yüceltildiği
tespit edilmiştir. Önemli bir toplumsal problem olan kadın ve erkek eşitsizliği, günlük hayat içerisinde kullanılan dil aracılığıyla pekiştirilmektedir. Dilin, bireyin dünyayı algılayış biçimi üzerindeki etkisi göz önünde bulundurulduğunda,
dile yerleşmiş olan söz konusu ifadelerin sorunlu bir alan yarattığı görülmektedir.

yy’ın sonlarından başlayıp 20. yy’ın I. Dünya Savaşına kadar süren döneminde “Çağ Dönümü” olarak adlandırılan sürecin içerisinde yer alan Art Nouveau hareketi, Çağdaş Grafik Tasarımın gelişimine zemin hazırlamıştır. Mimari, iç mekan
tasarımı ve endüstri tasarımında da etkileri görünen bu hareket organik, akıcı ve kıvrımlı çizgilere sahip, tarihselciliğe karşı çıkan dekoratif bir üslup ortaya koyarak; dekoratif sanatları güzel sanatlar seviyesine çıkartmayı
amaçlamıştır. Döneme damgasını vuran önemli grafik sanatçılarından Jules Cheret ve Théophile Alexandre Steinlen Art Nouveau üslubundaki çalışmalarıyla grafik tasarım sanatına büyük katkılarda bulunmuştur. Yine aynı dönem içerisinde
yer alan ünlü grafik sanatçısı Alphonse Mucha’nın eserleri de bu hareketle özdeşleştirilip dönemin “Le Style Mucha” (Mucha Stili) olarak adlandırılmasına neden olmuştur. Sanatçının kendine has üslubu, farklı çalışma alanlarıyla
ve sanata bakış açısıyla o zamana dek eşi benzeri görülmemiş çalışmalar ortaya koymuştur. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışmada Jules Cheret, Théophile Alexandre Steinlen ve Alphonse Mucha’nın reklam afişlerinden basit tesadüfi yöntemle
birer örnek seçilerek biçim içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda Alphonse Mucha’nın eserlerinin diğer sanatçılardan farkı ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca döneme damgasını vurarak ve dönemin Mucha Stili olarak
adlandırılmasına sebep olan çalışmalarındaki yüksek duyguya sahip dekoratif bir tarz ortaya koymasının ve bunları üç farklı yöntemle soyutlama, stilize etme ve gerçekçilik üzerinden yaptığı tasarımların altında yatan özellikler
araştırılmıştır. Dönemin sanatçılarının aksine Mucha’nın esin kaynakları, spiritüalizme ilgisi, Slav kültürüne bağlılığı, ve farklı tasarım alanlarında ortaya koyduğu çalışmaları başarılı bir şekilde birbirleriyle entegre ederek
tasarımlarının niteliklerini arttırdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
The Lives in the Hands of Destinies: Intertextuality in İkinci Katil and Tarla Kuşuydu Juliet
Authors: ZERENLER Dilek
Published: July 2022

Metinlerarası kavramı 1960’lı yıllarda ilk kez Fransız yazar Julia Kristeva tarafından kullanılmış, postmodern dönemin birçok eserinde de yaygın olarak uygulamıştır. En geniş anlamıyla bir metnin içinde başka bir döneme, yazara veya
üsluba ait metinlerin yer alması olarak tanımlanabilecek metinlerarası ilişkiyi roman, hikaye gibi türlerin yanı sıra oyun metinlerinin dramatik yapısında da görmek mümkündür. Tiyatro sanatının sinema ve teknoloji ile yarıştığı
çoksesliliğin esas alındığı bu dönemde oyun yazarları anlatı dilinin veya üslubun da günümüz seyircisini yakalayacak şekilde olması için yeni arayışlara girerler. Bu bağlamda metinlerarası anlatım tarzını tercih eden oyun yazarları
başka metinlerdeki karakterleri, olay örgüsünü vs. kendi kurgu dünyalarının dinamiklerine uygun bir şekilde dönüştürerek seyirciye/okuyucuya sunar.Türk oyun yazarı Serhat Yiğit’in kaleme aldığı İkinci Katil ve İsrail’li oyun yazarı
Ephraim Kishon’un yazdığı Tarla Kuşuydu Juliet de metinlerarası ilişkinin olduğu oyunlardandır. İkinci Katil’de Shakespeare’in önemli eserlerinden biri olan Macbeth oyununda adı bile verilmeyen bir katilin hikayesi merkeze alınır.
Cadılar, bu oyunda da insanı kehanetleri ile güç ve hırs konusunda sınava tabi tutarlar. Tarla Kuşuydu Juliet’te ise Shakespeare’in ünlü oyunu Romeo ve Juliet oyunundaki âşıkların mutsuz evlilik hayatları ele alınır. Döneminde
Romeo ile Juliet’i birbirine kavuşturmayarak büyük bir aşk hikayesi yaratan Shakespeare bu oyunda olaylara müdahale etmek üzere çiftin evine gelen bir oyun kişisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı iki oyunda da başka metinlerden izlere yer
verilmesinin nedenini, üretilen metne ana metnin katkısını ortaya çıkarmaktır. İki çağdaş oyunda da metinlerarasılığın izi sürülerek, tiyatro alanında metin yazımındaki arayış neticesinde kullanılan bu kavramın günümüz tiyatro
sanatına katkısı üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu çalışmada metinlerarası ilişki üretilen oyunlardaki dil kullanımı, karakterizasyon, diyalog oluşturma vs. gibi dramaturjik verilerle incelenmiştir.

Sanat, yaşamı çevreleyen her yerde karşımıza çıkması muhtemel kadim bir insan etkinliğidir ve sanatın diğer tüm insan etkinliklerinin ürünü olan kültür ile sıkı bağları mevcuttur. Tüm toplumlar iz bırakmak ister. Kalıcı izli bellek
inşası, tarih boyunca tüm toplumların en önemli kaygılarından biri olmuştur. Tüm toplumlar varlıklarını sürdürmek ve bilinçlerini gelecek kuşaklar ile paylaşabilmek için sanatın olağan üstü etki gücünden istifade etmişlerdir. Çünkü
sanat, var edildiği toplumun ve coğrafyanın tüm birikim ve koşullarından etkilenen bir yaratım sürecidir. Dolayısıyla her bir sanat eseri, içerisinde o toplumun kodlarını taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada kavramsal açıdan mekân üzerinden
sanat ile bellek arasındaki ilişki irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır. İz bırakma istencinin, sanatsal yaratma eylemi ile mekâna nasıl etki ettiğini ve insanın mimarlık ve inşa eylemlerinin sanatın varlığı üzerindeki etkisi, kavramsal bir
diyalektik üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Bilhassa mekân ve yer kavramları üzerinden yoğun bir alan yazın taraması yapılmış ve bu taramadan yapılan çıkarımlar üzerinden sanat, mekân ve bellek kavramları ile ilgili yeni yorumlamalar
yapılmaya çalışılmış ve tüm bunların sonucunda sanatın algılanması açısından yeni bir mekân sınıflandırmasına gidilmiştir. Hangi zaman diliminde olursa olsun sanatçı ile izleyicisi arasındaki bağın ve de sanatın esas mekânının
zihin olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Tüm zamanların ortam ve yaratı algısı zihin tarafından yorumlanmış bir hakikatten ibarettir denebilir. Bu durumda her insan kendi hakikatini yaratan gerçekler üzerinden doğayı ve sanatı algılamaktadır
ve her sanatçı kendi hakikatleri ile sanatını yaratmaktadır denilebilir.
