Градуальная семантика русских и тувинских пословиц
Authors: Колесникова Светлана Михайловна
Published: March 2022

Цель статьи заключается в соотнесении паремийных парадигм русского и тувинского языков. В семантической структуре рассматриваемых единиц выделяются градосемы (семы степени проявления признака и качественно-количественного описания). Определяется семантическая специфика русских и тувинских пословиц. Наличие одинаковых объектов сравнения даёт возможность выявить схожие в плане выражения, но различные в плане содержания паремии русского и тувинского языков и провести их сопоставительный анализ.

Основу градуальной парадигмы пословиц составляют антонимичные лексемы-доминанты (умный — глупый и под.) с инвариативным значением качественного признака, не сохраняющим экспрессию. Другим единицам свойствен градационный характер, устанавливающийся в соответствии с доминирующими компонентами, и ярко выраженная эмоциональность.  Качественные имена прилагательные в пословицах или в их толковании указывают на полярные значения и соответствуют параметрам предмета (большой — маленький, высокий — низкий и т. п.). Чтобы определить меру качества в пословицах с градуальной семантикой, необходимо иметь средства определения степени отклонения от нее.

Сравнения в пословицах реализуют градуальную и стилистическую функции. Например, зоонимы и орнитонимы выступают в качестве символов, посредством которых градуируется выражаемый ими признак. Так подчеркивается некий недостаток человека. В русских пословицах: волк, змея — символы жестокости; лиса — хитрости; в тувинских: корова (инек) — символ упрямства, верблюд (теве) — неповоротливости и т. д. Универсальным образом выступает сорока (сааскан) — болтливость и др.). Наличие подобной градуально-оценочной семантики и ценностной классификации позволяет выделить единицы с обще- и частнооценочным значениями (психологическое, сенсорно-вкусовое, этическое и др.).
Этнолингвомаркёры в переводных текстах тувинских народных сказок: лингвокультурологический комментарий
Authors: Воронцова Галина Николаевна , Гасанов Маммадали Магсад оглы
Published: March 2022

В статье представляются основные положения лингвокультурологического комментирования этнолингвомаркёров в переводных текстах тувинских народных сказок. Источниками для исследования послужили 68 текстов тувинских народных сказок из пяти переводных изданий.

Выявляются и формулируются особенности лексем-этнолингвомаркёров. Выделяются две их группы — имена собственные и нарицательные, каждая имеет соответствующие подгруппы. В переводных текстах они представляются в различных вариантах: семантизация, пропуск, замена.

Этнолингвомаркёры — имена собственные — антропонимы и топонимы. Нарицательные подразделяются на: названия артефактов материальной культуры; лексемы, обозначающие растения и животных; этнолингвомаркёры, связанные с описанием общественного устройства; названия ду́хов и чудовищ; этнолингвомаркёры, связанные с шаманизмом и буддизмом; лексемы, имеющие в словарях помету «фольклорное». К непереведенным лексемам-этнолингвомаркёрам примыкают и тувинские междометные выражения, сохраняемые в текстах сказок на русском языке.

Помимо лингвокультурологического комментария к этнолингвомаркёрам, для понимания важен также культурологический комментарий, связанный с описанием обычаев и мифологического устройства мира.
Бинарные структуры в тувинских пословицах как проявление национально-маркированного видения мира
Authors: Селиверстова Елена Ивановна
Published: March 2022

Биномы — устойчивые пары компонентов, неоднократно встречаются в паремиологическом пространстве и осмысляются именно в паре. Также они являются важными составляющими тувинских пословиц. Они выражают ценные для культуры установки и наблюдения, фиксируют связи и зависимости — труда и вознаграждения, объема приложенных усилий и полученного результата, поспешности и ее последствий, источника и добываемого из него продукта и т. д. Бинарные структуры участвуют в оценке говорящими временных представлений — интервалов, сезонов, времен года и т. п., в отражении результатов наблюдений за миром природы, закономерности которого проецируются на мир человека.

Исследование основано на анализе паремий, извлеченных методом сплошной выборки из собраний «Тувинские народные пословицы и поговорки» (авт.-сост. И. Плоткина, А. Калзан), «Пословицы и поговорки тувинского народа» (автор-сост. Б. К. Будуп), в отдельных случаях соотносимых с аналогичными единицами русского языка из «Большого словаря русских пословиц» под ред. В. М. Мокиенко.

 Проделанный анализ позволяет выделить этнокультурные термины в семантике народных изречений. Они выражают своеобразие культуры, особенности семейных связей и отношений, ценность дружбы, социально значимые для тувинцев качества.
Семья в компаративных паремиях тувинского, шведского и русского языков
Authors: Зиновьева Елена Иннокентьевна , Алёшин Алексей Сергеевич
Published: March 2022

В статье рассматриваются пословицы и поговорки компаративной структуры о членах семьи, родственниках в тувинском, шведском и русском языках. В каждой лингвокультуре существуют национально-маркированные образы сравнения, обусловленные историей, хозяйственно-бытовым укладом, системой ценностей народа. Различается и структура паремий, вербализующих идеи традиционной культуры в каждом из трёх рассматриваемых языков.

Источники исследования: сборник Б. К. Будупа «Пословицы и поговорки тувинского народа» (2020), словарь В. И. Даля «Пословицы русского народа» (1984), словари шведских паремий П. Хольма (1984) и Ф. Стрема (1929).

Выявляются типичные модели пословиц, отражающие способ мышления народов-носителей соответствующих языков, специфика при сопоставлении субъекта и объекта сравнения, используемые слова-реалии, зоонимы и другие образы сравнения. Для тувинского языка типичными являются паремии четырёхчастной структуры, описывающие преимущественно распределение функций матери и отца в семье. Сопоставление-уподобление членов семьи осуществляется с помощью образов традиционных для тувинцев животных, образов орудий труда и атрибутов хозяйственной жизни. Для паремий русского языка в большей степени характерно сравнение через противопоставление. В шведском языке обращают на себя внимание пословицы с рядоположенностью нескольких субъектов сравнения. Шведские компаративные паремии более категоричны за счет преобладающего эксплицитно выраженного сравнения. Тувинские паремии в отличие от русских преимущественно характеризуют кровных родственников.

Общие когнитемы о ценности детей в семье и роли родителей совпадают в паремике трех языков. Частными этноспецифичными когнитемами являются «особая взаимосвязь отца и сына» в тувинских паремиях, «дочь — чужое сокровище» в русских и «воспитание детей в строгости, для того чтобы родителям не пришлось стыдиться в будущем» в шведских единицах.

Authors: Khatri Mishri Lal , Al Kubati Sultan Ahmed Saif , Gaffer Ismail Ahmed , Majeed Shaban M. Abdel
Published: March 2022

Background

Mycetoma is widespread in Yemen; however, there are only a few documented reports on the entity from this geographical area.

Methods

A prospective study of 184 cases of mycetoma (male 145 and female 39) from different regions of north-western Yemen was conducted between July 2000 and May 2014. Clinical profile was recorded in a standardized protocol. The diagnosis was based on clinical features, X-ray studies, examination of grains, and histopathology.

Results

Eumycetoma was diagnosed in 129, caused by Madurella mycetomatis in 124, Leptosphaeria senegalensis in one and pale grain fungus in four, whereas actinomycetoma occurred in 55, caused by Streptomyces somaliensis in 29, Actinomadura madurai in nine, Actinomadura pelletieri in one, and Nocardia in sixteen. Eumycetoma cases were treated with prolonged course of antifungal drugs, mostly ketoconazole, with itraconazole being used in four patients, along with excision or debulking. Results were better when antifungal drugs were given two to three months before surgery and in those who received itraconazole. Actinomycetoma cases were initially treated with co-trimoxazole monotherapy; later streptomycin was added in 30 cases. Six patients who did not show adequate improvement and two others from the start were treated with modified Welsh regimen and with good results.

Limitations

Identification of different causative agents was done by histopathology and could not be reconfirmed by culture.

Conclusion

Mycetoma is widespread in north-western Yemen with a higher incidence of eumycetoma and a majority of the cases were caused by Madurella mycetomatis. Modified Welsh regimen in actinomycetoma and itraconazole with excision in eumycetoma showed the best results.

Authors: Bharti Dipti , Singh Rahul , Arora Charu
Published: March 2022

Alkaloid and flavonoid contents of E. officinalis of leaf samples collected from five different geographical and climatic conditions have been compared in the present study. Comparison has also been made in terms of percent yield and number of constituents present in alkaloid and flavonoid samples as well as for antifungal potential against Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani. Alkaloid content is found to be maximum in samples collected from Banasthali, Rajasthan, an extremely hot and dry climatic zone. HPLC profiles indicate presence of maximum number of constituents in alkaloids separated from E. officinalis collected from Banasthali, Rajasthan. Flavonoid content has been found to be highest in samples collected from Palampur, Himachal Pradesh in extremely cold climatic zone followed by that of Banasthali, Rajasthan. Antifungal activity of alkaloids and flavonoids isolated from samples collected from Banasthali and Palampur has been found to be maximum for F. oxysporum and R. solani respectively. These studies reveal that geographical and climatic zones having extreme climatic conditions are more suitable to grow E. officinalis which is to be used as raw material for developing pesticidal formulations to control wilt and scurf diseases of potato.

Authors: Parthasarathy M. , Sakthivel K. , Mihir D.V.S.
Published: March 2022

Water resources are susceptible to different types of pollution among which bacterial contamination is of serious concern. Intake of water contaminated with bacteria especially with coliform leads to several health issues. Therefore, assessing the microbial safety of potable water is indeed an important aspect. In this study, we report the fabrication of a portable sensor strip for a quick detection of coliform content in drinking water. The sensor consists of an adsorbed complex (ferricyanide) along with a metabolic nutrient (glucose). The complex and the nutrient were immobilized on a porous solid support using a crosslinked binder (alginate). When a micro-drop of water sample containing coliform bacteria at concentration more than 5 CFU/100 mL was placed on the strip, a colourless patch was formed at the point of contact due to the reduction of the complex molecule by the bacteria. The kinetics of decolorization was studied using UVvisible spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. The strips were tested using standard bacterial culture and water samples containing different amounts of coliform bacteria. The sensor strip reported in this study could be applied for real-time detection of pathogens in drinking water. It can be extended to metal-reducing pathogens similar to coliforms found in drinking water.

Published: March 2022

Present study deals with mineralization of azodye by electrolytic method. Under electrolytic method, Electro-Fenton technique is explored to mineralize azodye from 50 ppm to safe discharge limit of ≤ 1 ppm and the effects of important parameters which ultimately decide the rate of mineralization of azodye viz. pH, temperature, concentration of oxidizer and catalyst etc. have been critically studied. The detailed studies have been carried out which include variation in different parameters viz. pH from acidic range to basic range, catalyst concentration from 10 ppm to 30 ppm, oxidizer concentration from 10 mM to 40 mM, applied potential from 6 to 24 V and temperature from 30 to 60° C for efficient mineralization of azodye. Catalyst concentration of 25 ppm, pH of 3, applied potential of 12 V, temperature of 40° C and oxidizer concentration of 35 mM have been found optimal for Electro-Fenton technique to mineralize 50 ppm azodye solution up to its drain discharge limit ≤ 1 ppm. The treated solution has been characterized by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer and TOC analyzer.

Published: March 2022

This work reports an eco-friendly technique of preparing sulphur nanoparticles by reducing sodium thiosulphate using aqueous extract of prosopis juliflora (PJ) plant leaves under acidic condition. A sharp peak observed at 246nm UV-vis spectral analysis revealed the formation of sulphur nanoparticles from the reaction mixture. Sulphur nanoparticles synthesized from prosopis juliflora leaf extract were further characterized by SEM analysis, FTIR analysis designates functional groups present in the phytochemicals of PJ plant leaves extract involved in stabilization of the above synthesized SNps. Dynamic light scattering technique revealed (DLS) average particles size of the SNps as 229 nm. Polydispersity index (PI) value indicates the SNps prepared in this technique were polydisperse. XRD analysis of the SNps shows characteristics peaks corresponding to the orthorhombic crystalline structure of SNps. Synthetic SNps also showed their antibacterial ability against common pathogenic diseases causing microbe such as Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Hence, it is suggested that the green synthesized SNps have been used as antibacterial agents.

DNA binding and DNA cleavage characteristics of synthesized mixed ligand copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(HL)2Cl2](1), [Cu(HL)(bipy)Cl2](2), [Cu(HL) (phen)Cl2](3), [Cu(HL)2Br2](4), [Cu(HL) (bipy)Br2](5), [Cu(HL)(phen)Br2](6) (Where, L= 2- (methylsulfanyl)-N-(1H-pyrrole-2-ylmethylidene) aniline, bipy= 2,2’-Bipyridine, Phen= 1,10- Phenanthroline) have been investigated in detail. DNA binding properties of copper(II) complexes have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Results suggest that the copper (II) complexes were bound to DNA by an intercalation binding mode. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of the synthesised compounds have been tested against the bacteria Escherichia Coli and the fungi Aspergillus niger by using disc agar diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value against the growth of the above microorganism is much larger for mixed ligand copper(II) complexes. The cleavage activities of complexes (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) were carried out on double-stranded pUC19 DNA using gel electrophoresis. The complexes show better nuclease activity for mixed ligand copper(II) complexes.

Authors: Makari H.K. , Hungund B. , Vaidya G. , Kulkarni P. , Ramakrishna K.
Published: March 2022

The present work reports the synthesis, characterization and antibacterial properties of colloidal silver nanoparticles using the fruit extract of Artocarpus hirsutus commonly known as wild jack. It is a tropical evergreen tree species that is native to Kerala and Karnataka, India. The Artocarpus hirsutus fruit extract was mixed with aqueous AgNO3 solution under constant agitation at room temperature for 9 to 12hrs. The reduction of silver ions by phytochemicals present in the fruit extract leads to the formation of stable colloidal Artocarpushirsutus silver nanoparticles (AHAg NPs). Characterization of AHAgNPs was carried out by UV Vis spectrum, FTIR, XRD, DLS and TEM. The peak obtained at 430nm using UV-VIS spectroscopy confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles. The results of DLS indicated that the average size of AHAg NPs obtained from Artocorpushirsutus fruit extract was 100 nm. The FTIR spectra of AHAg NPs, where the peaks were obtained at 3305 cm-1, 2930 cm-1, 2158 cm-1, 1648 cm-1, 1393 cm-1, 1149 cm-1, 1015 cm-1, corresponded to OH group of alcohols or phenols, C-H of alkanes, CC group of alkynes, C=C group of alkenes, C=O, C-N group of aliphatic amine, C-O group of alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters or ethers. These peaks depict stretching vibrations responsible for polyphenols such as flavonoids, terpenoids and fatty acids and also proteins XRD analysis confirmed the homogeneous crystalline nature of the AHAg NPs with size of about 32 nm. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed the spherical morphology of silver nanoparticles with particle size 20 nm. DLS analysis was also done to measure the particle size and its distribution. The silver nanoparticles demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa etc.

Pyrazine fused substituted 1, 2, 4-triazoles are the most promising potent activities. Herewith newly synthesized compounds (12a-m) were screened for their in vitro anti-cancer activity over few human cancer cell lines like A375, MCF-7 and ACHN using doxorubicin as positive control. Among them, the IC50 values of most potent 12g to 12m were found in the range of 0.71 to 5.49 μM showing slightly higher activity than the positive control. Rest of the compounds have displayed moderate to good in vitro anticancer activity against all the tested cell lines as compared to positive control. Furthermore, molecular docking studies are evaluated by using protein-cyclin dependent kinase-2 as target and auto dock 4.2 binding energy, inhibition constant and hydrogen bonding are displayed. Binding energy is highest for 12m, inhibition constant is least for 12m and hydrogen bond is highest for 12b.
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt(II) complexes with bidentate Schiff base ligand
Authors: Singh Kamlesh Kumar , Khan Shamshad Ahmad
Published: March 2022

The coordination complexes of Co(II) have been prepared from bidentate Schiff base. The Schiff base ligand was synthesized by the condensation of 4- hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzhydroxamic acid in an alcoholic medium at room temperature. The ligand and cobalt (II) complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, electronic spectra, IR spectra, NMR spectra, electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility. The cobalt (II) complexes are colored and stable in air. In the metal complexes, the metal -ligand ratio was found to be 1:2. A sharp band at 1630 cm-1 is characteristics of the azomethine group present in the Schiff base ligand. This band was shifted to lower frequency (1605 – 1620 cm-1) in all the cobalt complexes, indicating the coordination of the azomethine nitrogen to the metal ion in complexes. The ν(N-OH) stretching vibration of the ligand obtained at 1080 cm-1 was raised up by 10-40 cm-1 in the complexes suggesting the deportation of (N-OH) hydrogen and coordination of hydroxy imino nitrogen atom in the bond formation with the Co(II) ions. The molar conductivity data of the complexes in DMF solution indicates that they are of non-electrolytic nature. On the basis of elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility and electronic spectral data, geometry of complexes was proposed to be octahedral.

Authors: Somasekhar Ryali , Paul Douglas Sanasi
Published: March 2022

The anti-fungal activity towards the elimination of the fungus Candida albicans and Candida rugosa and anti-bacterial activity for the removal of gram-negative Escherichia coli, gram-positive Staphylococcus aurues bacteria were evaluated with the graphene oxide-TiO2 nanocomposites. These nanocomposites contain a fixed weight of titania with variable weight % of graphene oxide (1%, 5 %, 10 %, 15%). The photocatalytic activity of these composites has been evaluated earlier towards the degradation of different organic dyes. In the present work, their biological activity was determined. It was observed that the micro-organisms removal was higher in the presence of graphene oxide than with the bare nanotitania particles. Further, the removal has increased with increase in the wt.% of graphene oxide in the nanocomposites. Superior anti-microbial activity was shown by composite with 10 wt.% graphene oxide. In the studies, anti-bacterial performance was observed to be greater than the anti-fungal activity with the nanocomposites.

Published: March 2022

The use of medicinal plants for disease prevention and treatment is gaining recognition due to the various biologically active phytochemicals they produce. This study was conducted to assess the ability of the leaf extracts of Diospyros philippinensis A.DC., an endemic tree species in the Philippines for the presence of phytochemical constituents and was examined for potential bioactivities by employing several assays like Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, DPPH Assay and MTT assay for antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities of the extracts respectively. Phytochemical test results revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, quinones, cardiac glycosides, phlobatannins, carbohydrate, cardenolides and proteins. The leaf extracts were found to exhibit antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria and high antioxidant activity (99.22% ± 0.005) but no cytotoxicity effect was found against the selected cancer cell line. The study therefore concludes that D. philippinensis leaf extract can be a source of antibacterial and chemo preventive agents. This claim may be used as a basis for future investigation.
Effect of Ethylene-Ethyl Acrylate Copolymer on the Rheological Properties of LDPE/PLST Blends
Authors: Saki Tahseen A.
Published: March 2022

The rheological properties of polyethylene/starch blends compatibilized with ethylene–ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA) were investigated at different temperatures and shear rates. According to the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) data, the application of EEA as a compatibilizer did not lead to the significant change in the blends’ band spectra because the concentration of acrylate groups (and consequently that of carbonyl groups) in the blends was low and the degree of hydrogen bonding was small enough. The rheological properties of blends showed that the melts of the blends were pseudoplastic materials. Viscosity of melt for all blends increased with an increase in both EEA and starch content. Power law index measurements showed that the n value increased and was less than one and the K value decreased with the increase in EEA content. Blends with higher content of starch had the lowest value of activation energy (Ea) and the sensitivity of blends to temperature decreased with an increase in starch content.

Polymers play an important role in the field of photochemical applications and photo-electrical applications. In this article we will focus on some typical examples of using polymers in modern technologies taken from the field of photoconductivity, photochemistry, and nonlinear optical
applications. The latter field points towards a new direction, namely using polymers for optoelectronic applications. It will be shown that the technical material requirements for optoelectronic applications are rather different from the requirements which have to be fulfilled for conventional
photochemistry and photophysics. It will be more and more the solid-state and semiconductor aspects which will enter the field of research, and developement and these new aspects will be as important as the aspects of conventional polymer physics.
Photoinitiated Curing of Multifunctional Monomers
Authors: Decker Christian
Published: March 2022

Radiation curing is being increasingly used in advanced technology applications, owing to its distinct advantages, mainly its great speed, selective cure and 100% solid formulation. Under intense UV or laser irradiation, the polymerization of multiacrylate monomers was shown to proceed
extensively in a fraction of a second. The kinetics of these ultrafast reactions was studied quantitatively by means of the newly developed real-time infrared (RTIR) photo-spectroscopy. From the conversion vs. time curves recorded, the efficiency of some novel photoinitiators and acrylic
monomers has been evaluated in UV-curable resins. The crosslinking-polymerization was found to proceed with long kinetic chains, despite the high initiation rate provided by UV or laser irradiation. The actual rate at which polymer chains are growing has been first determined from the polymerization
profile recorded upon pulsed laser exposure. The photocured polymers exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, as well as a great resistance to chemicals, heat and radiation. These characteristics, together with the process facility, account for the wide-spread applications of UV curable resins,
in particular as protective coatings to improve the weatherability of polymer materials, such as poly(vinyl chloride). Other applications of laser-induced curing are to be found in stereolithography, optoelectronics, holography, and laser direct imaging.

Photolithography at the Limits of Optical Resolution
Authors: Sebald Michael
Published: March 2022

The continuous miniaturization in microelectronics requires advanced materials and processes that allow millions of electronic components to be integrated on a single chip of less than 1 cm2. The resolution of structures in the half and even quarter micron region is performed
by the photolithographic process, i.e. the patternwise exposure of light-sensitive photoresist layers that alter solubility in developers when exposed to light. A recently developed bilayer photoresist consists of specifically functionalized anhydride-containing polymers and photoactive
dissolution inhibitors. Within the CARL (Chemical Amplification of Resist Lines) process, the anhydride moieties in the resist enable room-temperature silylation with bisamino-siloxanes in aqueous based solvents that enhances oxygen-plasma etch resistance and creates widened structures. Thus,
the resolution capability of optical exposure tools can be used to the full extent, and even structures beyond the optical resolution limit become accessible. Copolymerization of maleic anhydride with Boc-maleimide or tert-butyl methacrylate yields polymers for highly sensitive acid-catalyzed
deep UV resists.
Effect of Structure on the Scattering Losses of Polymer Optical Fibre Materials
Authors: Dettenmaier Manfred
Published: March 2022

Since scattering of light, together with absorption, contributes to the total loss in optical fibres, it is important to study the scattering behaviour of polymers as a function of their molecular and supramolecular structure. Light-scattering of glassy homopolymers results from anisotropy
and density fluctuations. The two contributions have been studied in detail. Particular attention has been given to long-range density fluctuations which depend on the thermal history of the material. Glassy polymer mixtures and copolymers exhibit additional scattering from concentration fluctuations.
This contribution has been estimated theoretically. Experiments conducted on a semicrystalline polymer indicate that transformation of a spherulitic into a fibre morphology is an interesting method to reduce the scattering loss of melt-crystallized polymers.

Rejection or Celebration? Autistic Representation in Sitcom Television
Authors: Gaeke-Franz Baden
Published: March 2022

In recent years, autistic-coded characters have become a common staple in sitcoms. This paper will examine depictions of autistic-coded characters in two such sitcoms: CBS’s The Big Bang Theory (Big Bang), and NBC’s Community. Sheldon on Big Bang is stereotyped and mistreated by his friends, while Abed on Community challenges stereotypes and is beloved. The different treatment of autistic characters stems from the responses of the shows’ writers to the fear of accidentally misrepresenting autism, with the crew of Big Bang choosing to avoid the label of autism, while Community embraced it and did research to better represent autistic people. This difference has a huge impact on audiences watching the shows. Seeing Sheldon’s friends belittling him because of his autistic-coded traits triggers shame in autistic viewers, while also validating ableist thought patterns in neurotypical viewers. In Community, however, seeing Abed’s confidence in his autistic embodiment serves to boost the confidence of autistic viewers, while his friends’ and classmates’ love and support of him serves as a model for neurotypical viewers of how to best interact with autistic people in the real world. The case of these two shows illustrates two important facts about autistic representation in media: failing to diagnose a character does not exempt a writer from ableist representations, and to avoid this ableism it is important to listen to audience feedback and do research to properly understand the characters from the perspective of the communities they stand for.

Onstage and Behind the Scenes: Autistic Performance and Advocacy
Authors: Brady Miranda
Published: March 2022

For many autistic performers in arts and entertainment, the stage can be an important site of self-advocacy and creative expression. Whereas everyday social interactions may be unpredictable, being onstage can allow autistic performers to work from a script and anticipate audience responses. This article explores the affordances and challenges of performance for young autistic adults in Canada through interviews with four autistic performers (two singers and two stand-up comics). While solo performance was the focus, participants discussed the creative employment of diverse media platforms, from the stage to screenwriting and children’s books, and emphasized the need for autistic people to be involved in all creative realms. This research follows a Critical Disability Studies (CDS) framework which challenges deficit models of autism (McGuire, 2016), “supercrip” tropes (Clare, 2015, p. 2), and narratives of overcoming autism (Cheng, 2017). While one participant noted being uncomfortable with the sense that they were a source of inspiration for non-autistic audiences, each found it encouraging that autistic audiences relate to their work and might be motivated to participate in similar forms of self-advocacy; in particular, they noted the value of performance in building confidence. As previous CDS literature is wary of disability as spectacle (Darke, 1994), this research provides insight into how young autistic adults use their work onstage and behind the scenes to promote and perform self-advocacy.
Where are all the Autistic Parents? A Thematic Analysis of Autistic Parenting Discourse within the Narrative of Parenting and Autism in Online Media
Authors: Fletcher-Randle Jessy Erin
Published: March 2022

Although content related to parenting Autistic children is common in online media, little attention is paid to the experiences of Autistic parents. There is a growing trend of parents receiving autism diagnoses after their children are diagnosed, yet a basic Google search on “parents” and “autism” reveals myriad data on the experiences of parents of Autistic children and little on experiences of Autistic parents. A systematic online search, augmented with a “crowd-sourcing” request to online parent support groups, identified only 15 articles and blogs that discuss Autistic parenting in advocacy, lifestyle, and parenting websites. This article explores the scope and content of Autistic parenting discourse in these online media to consider how the experiences of Autistic parents are conceptualized and situated within broader narratives of neurodiversity, autism and parenting. Media discourse focused on women who had received their autism diagnosis in adulthood, their experiences navigating their diagnoses, minimizing parenting challenges, and pushing back against autism stereotypes, with the majority of content intended for Allistic audiences. Recent increased recognition of autism in women has coincided with a new interest in Autistic parenthood, raising questions about gendered assumptions and disabled mothering. The media narrative includes “defying stereotypes” and “proving” autism is compatible with parenthood, echoing mainstream beliefs. Social justice issues reinscribed in the narrative illustrate how centring the voices of Autistic parents can reconceptualize public perception of autism and bridge the disconnect between parenting Autistic children, and Autistic parenting of children.
