Zur Eindeutschung der Aussprache polnischer Namen
Authors: Ebel Alexandra , Skoczek Robert
Published: May 2024

Broadcast speakers frequently have to pronounce names of foreign origin in their everyday work. Mostly these are anthroponyms of celebrities or toponyms in international news. Often, they have to pronounce names from many different languages of foreign origin within one newscast. This means they have to make a special cognitive and articulatory effort because of unfamiliar accent patterns and phonemes which do not exist in the German phonological system, as well as unknown connections and distributions of speech sounds. Pronunciation codes such as the “Deutsches Aussprachewörterbuch” (Krech et al., 2009) or the “Duden Aussprachewörterbuch” (Kleiner et al., 2015) give information on codified standard pronunciation. In addition, they make suggestions for the phonetic Germanization of words of foreign origin. Especially non-German names are challenging in the codification process. This is because of the differences between nomina appellativa and nomina propria in meaning and designation as well as in phonetics. So, pronunciation codes should find a sensitive balance between a pronunciation close to the original on one hand and convergence with German pronunciation laws on the other hand. Polish nomina propria are difficult to pronounce for German speakers because of atypical consonant connections and some xenophones. There is a need for empirically based Germanization recommendations.
Czech Forms of Foreign Proper Names Viewed by the Public
Authors: Štěpánová Veronika
Published: May 2024

The paper is based on the enquiries addressed to the Language Consulting Centre of the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, which have been published (together with the relevant answers) in an online database, enabling its users to carry out detailed searches thanks to elaborate linguistic annotation. The focus is on enquiries related to Czech forms of foreign proper names, especially toponyms. The queries concerning this topic are analysed not only from the quantitative point of view (i.e. what categories and types of names, along with which source languages, cause problems most frequently), but particularly from the point of view of the enquirers’ attitudes to the issues they discuss. Besides the cases when the client only tries to obtain certain information, enquiries connected with uncertainty about the appropriateness of the usage of Czech forms of foreign proper names are recorded; these queries are sometimes connected with the explicit negative criticism of these phenomena.
Биполярная ономастик а: двойной антропоним в „Дневнике Сатаны ” Леонида Андреева
Authors: Cattani Alessandra
Published: May 2024

The focus of this study is the presence of a complex onomaturgical technique in Leonid Andreyev’s novel “Diary of Satan”. In this work, Andreyev’s favorite themes are encapsulated: a pure man’s sadness in the face of the tragedies of an illogical and inexplicable universe, awful solitude, and a lack of optimism. Andreyev loved life, but in a terrible way: existential crises were continually punctuated by periods of sheer happiness, characterized by certainty about the future and Russia. There is speculation that Andreyev had bipolar disorder (Prochorova, 2018). The author’s dual split in ideas reverberates in his works and onomaturgy, particularly in the “Diary of Satan”. The purpose of this paper is to show how onomastic dualism applies to all the four characters in the story, who take on semantically coherent qualities and connotations based on the names by which they are identified. These meanings are invariably extreme (either Madonna or a prostitute; friend or foe; prince of evil or the most benevolent of men) and can be a proof of the author’s bipolarity. In our opinion, the artistic aim of the process of nomination follows a mythopoetic path. In keeping with his passion for the theater, Andreyev explores not only the dual nature of man but also the concept of “likeness”.
Etymological Analysis of the Mythonym OPr. Patollo
Authors: Kregždys Rolandas
Published: May 2024

Referring to etymological analysis, the author of this article presents a new hypothesis concerning the origin of the Old Prussian (OPr.) mythological name Patollo ‘a deity of the dead’ found in “Prussian Chronicle” (“Preussische Chronik”) written by the Dominican priest, Simon Grunau. It is to be assumed that the form patollum, earlier recorded in the fragment of “Collatio Episcopi Warmiensis facta coram Summo pontifice per dominum Andream plebanum in Danczk” (1418), was erroneously ascribed to theonyms by Grunau. The analysis refers to the description of derivatives and semantic development of this mythonym. While summing up the research results, one may conclude that a mythological name such as OPr. Patollo belongs to lexemes of Latin origin. More precisely, this mythonym is derived from a Medieval Latin (MLat.) adverb patulo ‘in many places; openly, clearly, in public’, which in the course of history was changed to MLat. patollu ‘ditto’, that is, a metathetical form with transposed medial/final vocalic elements of the second and last syllables. Thus, the fragment of “Collatio Episcopi Warmiensis…” “expulsi (!) sunt gentes seruientes demonibus colentes patollum Natrimpe et alia ignominiosa fantasmata” is to be translated in a well-formed and fluent way, i.e., banished are the peoples who worship demons and idolise Natrimpe and other ignominious phantoms in public. The Old Prussian mythologeme Patollo is a a pseudomythologeme invented by Grunau.
In-game Toponyms: Telling the Story and Building the Video Game World
Authors: Kuzmenko Oleksandra
Published: May 2024

This article deals with video game toponyms as a representation of a toponymic concept – a unit of onomastic knowledge concerning spatial and geographical characteristics of a location. The importance of toponyms in video games lies in the realm of storytelling, as parts of the story are connected to locations, which, in turn, are interlinked. Moreover, toponyms are viewed as a means of building a post-apocalyptic worldview due to their introductory and descriptive functions. Thus, the research issues to be covered are the functions of in-game toponyms in general, the correlation of naming patterns of real toponyms and in-game ones, as well as the role of toponyms in establishing interactivity. In the first part of the analysis, the functions of toponyms in video games are studied. Three main functions can be distinguished here: navigating, storytelling, and world-building. Special cases of intertextuality known as “easter-eggs” are described. The second part deals with the role of toponyms in building a post-apocalyptic worldview of the video game (“Fallout 4”), addressing the correlation of traditional and fictional naming patterns. This paper shows that real-life toponyms’ classifications can be applied to in-game toponyms, with the most frequent being descriptive ones. Special attention is paid to the interactivity and intertextuality of the video game.

Tibetan Elements in Dongba and Daba Spirits’ Names
Authors: Xu Duoduo
Published: May 2024

Dongbaism and Dabaism are indigenous religions of the Moso people, who live on the cultural border between Han and Tibetan traditions in Southwest China. Besides their original cultural foundations, it is possible to notice Tibetan elements introduced into Dongbaism and Dabaism. The present study aims at an etymological analysis of the names of five representative symbols of Dongba and Daba doctrines, including: Tonpa Shenrab, Yung-Drung, Purzzee Samei, Haishee Bamei, and Garuda. Through the analysis of morphological structures, the author explains the assimilation of Tibetan linguistic elements in Dongba and Daba cultures and depicts the differences between the two branches of the Moso people’s religious traditions. Through an etymological interpretation of some local spirits’ names, the present research reconstructs the roots of local folklore beliefs in the light of a broader context. This philological work unveils the origin of the figures of mythical deities – and of their names – believed by local people to be the first Dongba/Daba priests from the Bon religion and suggests the possibility of a pan-ethnic belief in more remote times. This research also analyses the multiple linguistic layers in the different forms for Garuda, which reveal their ancestral links to the extinct Zhang-Zhung civilization.
Synchronic Models and Modelling in Perfume Names
Authors: Kolenčíková Natália
Published: May 2024

The goal of this paper is to identify and describe the synchronic models found in women’s perfumes. Ninety names of women’s perfumes and perfumed waters excerpted from the website of the Notino cosmetic shop were analysed. The modelling approach led to the creation of the A1 model, which maps the chrematonymic attributes of social relationships, which are reflected in the basic and the auxiliary functional elements with onymic value. In the sample, the basic functional element, that is, explicit information that the product is perfume or perfumed water, was found only three times. The semantic attribute of quality has been identified as the most frequently occurring auxiliary functional element; it is related to figurativeness, symbolism, and metaphors. This semantic attribute was dominant in the most frequent perfumonym model. As a standalone auxiliary functional element, it was identified in almost half of the cases. Further semantic attributes identified include directedness, trademark, place affiliation, temporal affiliation, numerical characteristics, and honorification characteristics.
Resenha do CANCLINI, Néstor Garcia. Cidadãos substituídos por algoritmos. São Paulo: EdUSP, 2021, 212p.
Authors: Alencar Breno Rodrigo de Oliveira , Santos Christiane do Socorro Ramos dos
Published: May 2024

Esta resenha aborda a obra "Cidadãos Substituídos por Algoritmos" de Néstor García Canclini, cujo objetivo é demonstrar que, no estado atual, o uso de redes sociais em massa, com consciência e engajamento político, funciona como uma nova forma de exercício da cidadania. Ao longo do livro, o autor dialoga sobre a maneira pela qual a mobilização pelas redes já propiciaram importantes embates revolucionários neste século. Dessa forma, a obra apresenta uma perspectiva bastante positiva do uso da tecnologia, sendo ela capaz, inclusive, de formatar novas formas de participação social que estão além da mobilização partidária.
Cancelados, revogados e incanceláveis
Authors: Alencar Breno Rodrigo de Oliveira , Ribeiro Paulo Victor da Silva , Alves Wilma Beatriz da Cruz
Published: May 2024

A cultura do cancelamento é uma expressão usada para se referir a uma forma de estigmatização social em que alguém é empurrado para fora dos círculos sociais ou profissionais devido a uma conduta considerada ofensiva pelos pares e pelo público em geral. Este artigo discute as características deste processo no ciberespaço a partir de uma pesquisa documental junto à imprensa e à rede sociodigital X entre os anos de 2018 e 2022. O objetivo foi demonstrar a presença de padrões e recorrências na prática do cancelamento contra personagens públicos sugerindo haver a existência de três tipologias principais: os cancelados, os revogados e os incanceláveis. Foram analisados 18 casos de cancelamento com grande repercussão na sociedade brasileira, dos quais 4 foram selecionados para indicar a existência destas tipologias. Os resultados alcançados indicam que a cultura do cancelamento, embora multifacetada, possui características próprias a cada tipo. De um modo geral, seus desdobramentos apontam para a relevância cultural e política do debate sobre o impacto das redes sociodigitais nos comportamentos sociais offline, uma vez que os resultados revelam a possibilidade de reação e manifestação da opinião públicas a práticas e discursos considerados moralmente ofensivos, em particular direcionados a grupos historicamente marginalizados e oprimidos.
Transfobia Algorítmica
Authors: Sorte Paulo Boa , Gonçalves Deborah Teles de Meneses , Santos Giulia Pereira
Published: May 2024

Este artigo aborda o impacto da inteligência artificial (IA), em particular da visão de máquina, na identificação de gênero, destacando desafios e implicações para pessoas de gêneros dissidentes, entendidos, neste trabalho, como indivíduos que divergem do regime binário de generificação de corpxs enquanto homens ou mulheres (PRECIADO, 2018). O cerne do problema reside na análise de características faciais e padrões visuais para identificar o gênero, uma prática que, frequentemente, se baseia em padrões binários, exclui e marginaliza pessoas cujas identidades de gênero transcendem essas normas. A consequência desse viés é a perpetuação da transfobia algorítmica, em que máquinas, ao serem programadas para interpretar o gênero, podem negligenciar e excluir indivíduos que não se identificam com o sexo atribuído ao nascimento. Nesse sentido, propomos a análise de casos de transfobia algorítmica por meio de uma pesquisa exploratório-descritiva que abarca relatos on-line de agressões relacionadas à imagem de pessoas trans* em plataformas digitais. O estudo explora uma variedade de fontes, como notícias, blogs e canais de reclamação, entre 2020 e 2022. A análise identifica categorias emergentes, abordando a discriminação relacionada à imagem de pessoas trans*. O referencial teórico abarca discussões sobre identidades de gênero (FOUCAULT, 1978; SALIH, 2012; BUTLER, 2018; SOUZA 2022); pós-digital, plataformas e visão de máquina (DJICK; POELL; WALL, 2018; SILVA, 2021; STORM, 2021; KAUFMAN, 2022; SHIH, 2023). Os resultados destacam a persistência da transfobia no Tinder, com exclusões arbitrárias de contas de pessoas trans*. Denúncias no Reclame Aqui revelam inconsistências nas políticas do Instagram, evidenciando transfobia estrutural. O uso do reconhecimento facial levanta preocupações sobre discriminação algorítmica, destacando a necessidade de regulamentação. A pesquisa ressalta a urgência de ações para combater a discriminação sistêmica e propõe o abandono da rotulação de gênero em sistemas de IA para promover equidade.
An Integrative Approach to STEM Workforce Preparation in a Biomedical Science Course [Quality Improvement]
Authors: McSween Verleen K.
Published: May 2024

Successful retention of STEM majors that then successfully transition into the U.S. STEM workforce is a major challenge for institutions of higher education. The present work represents a quality improvement study of a custom-designed professional development course for undergraduate students characterized by an innovative integration of workforce preparation activities into a STEM content knowledge course. The QI study investigated the student-perceived impact of participation in goal setting and skill assessment utilizing an individual development plan and whether participation in the custom-designed training course increased student proficiency in STEM workforce-relevant skills. Program evaluation data was used to address the professional development needs of undergraduate STEM students, who are members of underrepresented groups in biomedical science. Evaluation data was used to design the professional development course to target and customize structures to support student success planning and goal attainment. Analysis of reported outcomes indicates that most students benefited from participation in the course and experienced a positive impact on their proficiency in workforce relevant skills and goal setting. This integrated approach to workforce preparation in STEM may address some of the persistence and retention challenges that threaten the size and diversity of the future STEM workforce within the U.S.
Developing Undergraduates’ Soft Skills: An Investigation of the Status Quo and the Challenges
Authors: Freij Iman
Published: May 2024

This study aimed at investigating the undergraduates’ soft skills in a private HE institute in Lebanon from various perspectives. The study adopted a mixed-method approach for collecting and analyzing the data. Two different surveys, compiling major features of incorporating soft skills into USAL’s study programs, were administered. 108 undergraduates and 23 instructors from different majors competed the surveys. A focus group interview was conducted for student affairs office personnel (SAO) to examine its role in developing undergraduates’ soft skills. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 while qualitative data were classified into themes and analyzed against the quantitative data and USAL’s policy and regulations. Findings indicate, from a triangulated perspective, that USAL’s undergraduates have revealed an average level of soft skills although they admit their significant importance for employability and career advancement. In addition, USAL’s role in developing undergraduates’ soft skills appears satisfactory with respect to the curriculum, the instructors’ responsibilities and conducts, and SAO liabilities. Challenges impeding the process of integrating soft skills are pinpointed and discussed. Recommendations for the betterment of investing soft skills within USAL’ context, policy and practice, are shared.

Sinking a Ship and Loading the Cannon: Interpretations of Mass Murder and The Terror
Authors: Gonzalez Alexander
Published: May 2024

This paper will work to show how government-sponsored violence for the sake of the revolution during the Reign of Terror allowed for mass murder to take place. I analyze work from people like Reynold Secher (2003), and Julie Patricia Johnson (2020) where they use locations such as the Vendee and Lyon to describe the revolutionary violence from the perspective of Anti-Revolutionaries. It tackles the historiography of studying this topic and how the field has changed over time from covering the impact on the people of these regions to its lasting effects such as the role it played in mental health as Ronen Steinburg (2015) does in her work. The works range from being published in 1983 to current-day studies of Revolutionary violence. I use the framework of mass violence to discover how the government allowed such atrocities to take place and how they influenced many events that would take inspiration from the French Revolution.

Authors: Balamir Figen
Published: May 2024

Bu çalışma, Ankara’da etkinlik gösteren bir Protestan kilisesi olan Ankara Kurtuluş Kilisesi’nde gerçekleştirilen saha araştırmasına dayanmaktadır. Çalışmada, katılımcıların çoğunluğun benimsediği bir dinî gelenekten ayrılarak “sayıca az” bir gruba mensup olmayı nasıl deneyimledikleri temel problem olarak belirlenmiştir. 2022 yılının Ekim ayından başlayarak 2023 yılının Nisan ayı sonuna kadar devam eden araştırmada, kilisede Doğuş Bayramı ve pazar ayinlerine de katılım sağlanmıştır. Araştırma süresince, her hafta salı akşamı kilisenin düzenlemiş olduğu tanıtım faaliyeti olan “Alfa Çalışma Programı” adlı etkinliğe katılımcı gözlemci olarak katılarak saha notları yazılmıştır. Katılımcıların içinde bulundukları dinî gelenekten vazgeçme nedenleri, iman etme süreci ve sonrasında yaşadıkları değişimleri; yeni çevreleriyle olan ilişki biçimleri onların kendi ifadeleri ve saha notları eşliğinde analiz edilmiştir. Dini gruplarla ilgili nitel yaklaşım kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar “orada” neler olduğu sorusuna yanıt aramak için elverişlidir. Bu çalışmada, derinlemesine görüş elde edebilmek için sahada uzun süre kalmayı gerektiren etnografik desen kullanılmıştır. Ankara Üniversitesi Etik Kurul Başkanlığı’ndan alınan etik kurul raporuna dayanarak on kişiyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Bunlardan ikisi dışındaki tüm görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazıyla kayda alınarak sonrasında yazıya geçirilmiş, ardından gözlem notları eşliğinde analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada Kutsal Kitap’tan referanslarla zenginleştirilen şifa, dua, affetme ve sevgi gibi kavramların grup üyelerinin yeni dinlerine bağlılıklarını sağlayan pekiştireçler olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmada öne çıkan bir diğer sonuç da günümüzde ekonomik ve psikolojik olarak birçok sorun ile yüzleşen modern birey için dinin sığınak olarak işlev görmeye devam ettiğidir.
Nietzsche'nin Der Antichrist Metninin Türkçe Çevirileri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Yıldırım Aysun
Published: May 2024

Felsefe metinlerinin çeviriler yoluyla Türkçeye nasıl aktarıldığı, tartışmaya açık bir meseledir. Zira çeviriler, Türkçe konuşulan dünyada genel felsefi kavrayışların yönünü olumlu ya da olumsuz şekilde belirleyebilecek güce sahiptir. Eksik, kolajlanmış ya da filozofun esas düşüncesinden ziyade tercümanın kendi ideolojilerini yansıtan bir çeviri, orijinal metni doğru anlama açısından olumsuz bir nitelik taşımaktadır. Ayrıca bu tür bir çeviri kültürel ve felsefi bağlamda bir katkı sağlamamaktadır. Öte yandan samimiyetle ve çeviri faaliyetinin esas amacını dikkate alarak yapılan bir çeviri, kültürün ve felsefi kavrayışların serpilmesine önemli ölçüde olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, çevirilerin olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerini incelemek açısından adeta bir laboratuvar niteliği taşıyan, Nietzsche’nin Der Antichrist: Fluch auf das Christenthum yapıtının farklı Türkçe çevirileri değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirme, Der Antichrist metninin altı farklı Türkçe çevirisiyle sınırlandırılmıştır ve bu çevirilerde fark edilen temel sorunlar örneklerle ayrıntılandırılmıştır.

ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS IN CACHICHÍN NUTS (Oecopetalum mexicanum Greenm. & C.H. Thomps.) EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT THERMAL TREATMENTS
Authors: Hernández-Mora Alejandro Esli , Gómez-Merino Fernando Carlos , Marín-Garza Tania , Herrera-Corredor José Andrés , Trejo-Téllez Libia Iris
Published: May 2024

The cachichín tree (Oecopetalum mexicanum Greenm. & C.H. Thomps.), present in the Sierra de Misantla, Veracruz, Mexico, produces fruits with bitter-tasting nuts, traditionally consumed as a healthy snack, boiled or toasted. These nuts have significant concentrations of lipids, proteins, fiber, and ash, although their antioxidant capacity and phenolic profile in response to different thermal treatments have not been explored. The objective of this study was to analyze the antioxidant activity and determine the concentrations of free and total phenolic compounds in the raw (T1) cachichín nuts and nuts subjected to different thermal treatments, including boiled (T2), commercial toast (T3), and controlled toast at laboratory level (T4). The nuts subjected to controlled toasting (T4) showed the highest mean in antioxidant activity (20.73 %), followed by commercial toasting (T3; 19.41 %) and raw nuts (T1; 15.38 %), while the boiled nuts (T2) showed the lowest values (9.68 %). Regarding free phenols, the highest concentration of catechin was found in raw nuts (T1), with 278.91 mg g-1 fresh biomass weight (FBW). Trans-ferulic acid was more abundant in the toasting treatments (7.09 ng g-1 FBW in T3 and 6.13 ng g-1 FBW in T4) compared to raw nuts (T1; 3.77 ng g-1 FBW). Trans-coumaric acid was higher with controlled toasting (T4; 2.67 ng g-1 FBW). In terms of total phenols, raw nuts (T1) showed the highest concentration of catechin (613.95 mg g-1 FBW), while chlorogenic acid was more abundant in commercial toasting (T3; 89.12 ng g-1 FBW). Total trans-ferulic acid was higher in boiled and toasted nuts (T2, T3, and T4), while trans-coumaric acid was highest in controlled toasting (T4) and lowest in boiled (T2). Cachichín nuts are concluded to contain phenolic compounds with beneficial functions, whose concentrations can be altered in response to the thermal treatments applied.

Understanding Idiosyncratic Risk and Economic Growth in ASEAN
Authors:   Universitas Atma Jaya Makassar, Asri Marselinus
Published: May 2024

This study examines the relationship between idiosyncratic risks, foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth in ASEAN countries using data from 2013 to 2022. Idiosyncratic risks refer to specific assets or individual sectors, distinct from systemic or market-wide risk. This study aims to determine whether idiosyncratic risks affect the ASEAN region's FDI flows and economic growth. The study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to analyze the ASEAN Statistical Database data. Regression weights are used to evaluate the relationship between idiosyncratic risks, FDI, inflation, SDG availability, and economic growth. The results indicate that although there is no significant direct relationship between idiosyncratic risk and FDI inflows, there is a significant positive correlation between idiosyncratic risk and economic growth. These findings have implications for policymakers and investors seeking to promote sustainable economic development in ASEAN countries. Understanding the dynamics of specific risks can inform strategies to attract FDI and stimulate economic growth. This study contributes to the theoretical basis of risk management and economic development in emerging market economies such as those in the ASEAN region.

The results showed that EPS has positive influence (β=0.0682, t=1.2439 and p=0.2143, test of hypothesis 2) on investment decisions and rank of EPS is 4 with mean score of 3.8099 and S.D=0.5087 (table 3). It has also found that dividend has positive relationship (β=0.0590, t=1.1054 and p=0.2697, test of hypothesis 3) with investment decisions and dividend is ranked 6 with mean score of 3.5755 and S.D=0.5593 (table 3). Accordingly, P/E ratio has a negative influence (β =-0.0069, t=-0.1341 and p=0.8934) on investment decisions of the individual investors. Therefore, this study will be very helpful to the individual investors to make correct investment decisions by analysing EPS, dividend trends and P/E ratio of the company.

In quantum mechanics it is well known that observables are represented by hermitian matrices (or operators). Uncertainty relations are represented as some kinds of trace inequalities satisfied by two observables and one density matrix (or operator). By releasing the hermitian restriction on observables, we obtained non-hermite uncertainty relations. In this paper we give several non-hermitian extensions of Heisenberg or Schrödinger type q uncertainty relations for generalized skew information under some conditions.

Assistance for students who are hampered from counting using rubber seed abacus media at SD Negeri 03 Semuli Raya is one of the KKN activity schemes for FKIP UMKO students. The results of initial observations identified that out of 10 students, only 2 students were fluent in arithmetic. The purpose of this activity is to improve students' numeracy skills at SD Negeri 03 Semuli Raya and assist students in learning to count using a rubber seed abacus. Participants who took part in this activity were grade 2 students with a total of 10 students. Based on the results of the evaluation of this activity, 80% of students received a score excelent. In addition, the enthusiasm of the students was very high in the process of mentoring arithmetic using a rubber seed abacus as evidenced by the presence of the participants during the 5 meetings they were always present. Another finding is that only rubber seeds can be found easily and for free but can be used as learning media in the form of an interesting abacus for students learning to count.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between setting description and immersion in fiction in Algeria.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study found that vivid and detailed depictions of settings significantly enhance reader immersion. The Study have shown that richly described settings contribute to a more immersive reading experience by allowing readers to mentally visualize and emotionally connect with the story world. Moreover, descriptive passages that engage multiple senses, such as sight, sound, smell, and texture, have been found to deepen immersion by creating a more sensory-rich environment. Additionally, the effectiveness of setting description in fostering immersion seems to be influenced by factors such as reader preferences, genre conventions, and the narrative context. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of thoughtful and evocative setting descriptions in enhancing reader engagement and immersion in fictional narratives.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Schema theory, transportation theory and reader-response theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the relationship between setting description and immersion in fiction in Algeria. In terms of practical implications, findings from research on setting description and immersion can inform authors, educators, and practitioners in the fields of literature, media, and education. From a policy perspective, research on setting description and immersion in fiction can inform initiatives aimed at promoting literacy, cultural diversity, and media literacy.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of character development techniques on reader engagement in Kenya.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Well-developed characters tend to evoke stronger emotional responses from readers, fostering a deeper connection to the narrative. This emotional resonance can lead to increased empathy and investment in the characters' journeys. Secondly, techniques such as character arcs, internal conflicts, and growth over the course of the story contribute to a sense of realism and complexity, enhancing reader immersion. Additionally, relatable and multi-dimensional characters are more likely to captivate readers, as they can see aspects of themselves reflected in the characters' struggles and triumphs. Furthermore, the effectiveness of character development techniques varies depending on genre and target audience, highlighting the importance of tailoring strategies to fit the specific demands of the narrative. Overall, skillful implementation of character development techniques plays a crucial role in engaging readers and enhancing their overall reading experience.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social cognitive theory, schema theory and narrative transportation theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of character development techniques on reader engagement in Kenya. Authors and storytellers can benefit from the findings of empirical studies by strategically employing character development techniques to enhance reader engagement in their narratives. While the influence of character development techniques on reader engagement primarily resides within the realm of creative expression, policymakers and educators can play a role in promoting literacy and fostering a culture of reading.

Parental support and guidance are essential to the education of children of OFWs. These students feel pressured to repay their parent’s sacrifices through their academics, and are overwhelmed with balancing their school assignments and household responsibilities. This study aimed to determine the levels of parent-child closeness and study attitudes and methods, and determine its relationship. It sought to compare the level of parent-child closeness, in terms of sex, birth order, and number of years abroad. A quantitative research approach, specifically a descriptive, comparative, correlational design, was used to examine the parent-child closeness and study attitudes and methods of 100 adult children of OFWs studying at university. Findings revealed that children of OFWs are moderately close to their mothers, and very close to their fathers. They have a high academic interest and study methods, and have low academic drive-conformity, study anxiety, manipulation, and alienation towards authority. Maternal and Paternal closeness to the adult child was not found to significantly differ, in terms of sex, birth order, or number of years abroad. Furthermore, maternal regard was found to be positively correlated with academic interest (r=0.43), academic drive-conformity (r=0.38), and study methods (r=0.27), while maternal responsibility was negatively correlated with academic interest (r=0.29). The study’s findings can be a basis for the development of programs and activities for children of OFWs, to assist them in balancing home and school responsibilities.
