Features of speech influence in advertising educational services on the Internet
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Sergeeva Elena V. , Vu Hong Ngok ,   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the features of speech influence in online advertising of educational services. Educational advertising is a type of advertising aimed at promoting educational services, which aims to form the addressee’s belief in the need to use the services of the advertised educational institution. It is argued that the specificity of pedagogical advertising discourse is determined by the goal setting, the importance of the offer to the recipient, the characteristics of the advertised object and the difficulty of carrying out manipulative influence due to the verifiability of the result. Informational, admonishing, and reminiscent ads are highlighted. Pedagogical advertising is characterized by specific features of methods of speech influence and manipulative tactics. Among the methods of speech influence, the most effective is the method of persuasion. No less important is the role played by the methods of inducement, suggestion and imitation. A characteristic feature of educational advertising is the active use of logical arguments when creating arguments. Using emotional arguments helps to increase the impact of an advertisement’s message. By influencing consumer’s emotions, the addresser offers not only educational services, but also positive emotions. When building an emotional argument in educational advertising, emotional and emotional-evaluative vocabulary is used primarily to arouse positive emotions associated with an educational institution in the recipient. It has been determined that the most frequent means of speech influence in pedagogical advertising are positive evaluative vocabulary and vocabulary with emotional and expressive coloring, a verb in the imperative mood, rhetorical means of expression, and above all tropes and figures. The article reveals that advertising texts in the educational sphere have a large number of expressive syntactic constructions and rhetorical figures (first of all, repetition, question-answer constructions, rhetorical appeal, rhetorical exclamation, antithesis). Manipulative speech influence in educational advertising is not frequent. In the pedagogical advertising text, two main manipulative tactics are distinguished: manipulations based on weaknesses and manipulations based on needs.
Open access to global health information in mass media: Specialized translation and Russian-German-Spanish terminology
Authors:   Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Koreneva Olga B.
Published: April 2021

The situation triggered by the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated the need to simplify medical terminology for better understanding by the public. The goal of specialized communication on medical topics is to more efficiently transfer and assimilate information that is important to human health, which has become literally vital in the times of COVID-19. Such circumstances lead to the fact that medical terminology is no longer the exclusive prerogative of the professional vocabulary of medical personnel, but is already more and more integrated into the vocabulary of everyday use, and is also widely used in mass media. A cognitive approach to terminology helps to extract specialized knowledge encoded in terms, simplifies specialized translation and contributes to mass communication at a global level. This study, using the example of Russian-German-Spanish medical terminology, demonstrates the fact that an effective and intuitive presentation of specialized concepts helps to correctly apply international terminology, and most importantly, allows its target audience to assimilate the knowledge behind it in a structured form. This cognitive approach to medical terminology serves public health purposes by facilitating the communication between doctor and patient, on the success of which the life and health of society depends. It also argued that the correct interlanguage terminology management facilitates the constructive exchange of experience and cooperation between doctors, specialists, scientists, healthcare organizations and specialized translators, whose joint work at the global level is now especially necessary for medicine.
St. Gregory Palamas’s gnoseology in light of the dogma of the incarnation of Christ
Authors:   Kineshma Art and History Museum, Lukovtsev Ilya N.
Published: April 2021

This article is devoted to the problem of correspondence between the gnoseology of St. Gregory Palamas and the teachings of the Orthodox Church. His gnoseology contains two theses that caused a significant controversy in the 14th century in the Byzantine Empire. These are the uncreated nature of the Tabor Light and the possibility to know God by His uncreated energies, but not by His essence. The author turns directly to the Christological confessions and other dogmatic texts of the Ecumenical Councils to solve the problem. This method has not been largely used. As a general rule, the “palamites” and “antipalamites” used to refer to some particular father or plunged into a strictly philosophical discourse. At the same time, it was not fully taken into the account the fact that the Acts of the Ecumenical Councils contain information to adequately assess St. Gregory’s gnoseology. The article concisely presents the main theses of St. Gregory Palamas’s gnoseology, approved by the local Council of 1351 held in Constantinople. The theses are compared to the confession of the Council of Chalcedon. The texts of the subsequent Ecumenical Councils are considered to be as clarifying as the Chalcedonian confession. The views of St. Gregory’s main opponents are also analyzed in the article. Particular attention is paid to the meaning of key terms in the considered dogmatic texts. The article also takes into account the philosophical aspect of the problem, and expounds one of the arguments of St. Gregory in favor of the uncreated nature of the Tabor Light, which is based on the idea of the inability of human nature to emit light. As a result of the research, it was established that both theses of St. Gregory contradict the doctrine of the Ecumenical Councils about Christ. Instead of St. Gregory’s dubious gnoseology, the Ecumenical Councils offer to cognize the divinity of the Trinity inseparably from the flesh of Christ, and not only in energy, but also essence and hypostasis. As for the natural science argument of St. Gregory, it is refuted by the data of modern science, which proved the existence of biophotons. This discovery, according to the author, does not contradict, but only confirms the Christology of the Ecumenical Councils.
Interrelation between anthropology and psychology in the works of St. Theophan the Recluse
Authors:   Sretenskaja Theological Seminary, Pikovskiy Hieromonk Iriney
Published: April 2021

The works of bishop Theophan (Govorov) the Recluse on Christian ethics are considered fundamental in studying the history of the formation of Christian psychology in Russia. The style, narrative and vocabulary of the works echo his Russian edition of the “Philokalia”. However, contrary to the common perception that Saint Theophan the Recluse thought exclusively in the language of Holy Fathers, the present study provides examples showing that the saint borrowed some ideas from the classical German philosophy of romanticism. Under the influence of his teachers from the Kiev Theological Academy (P.A.Avsenev), he addresses the subject of the “human spirit”. Arguing with representatives of natural philosophy, whose names he does not mention, Theophan asserts that the spirit is the highest faculty of human nature, the breath of life, the image of God, which enables man to communicate with the Creator. For St. Theophan, as for many other academic scholars of the mid-19th century, “moral philosophy”, “anthropology” and “psychology” were interchangeable concepts. As shown in this study, in matters of psychology and pedagogy, the reflections of Theophan the Recluse are based on the same model that was actively developed by the philosophers of modern times (Schelling, Hegel). Despite serious worldview differences in relation to religion, Saint Theophan reads, filters and continues to develop some ideas that originated in German philosophy.
On the road to Emmaus: Evangelism in postmodern age
Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University, Khitruk Ekaterina B.
Published: April 2021

The article examines the problem of comparing the basic premises of the philosophy of postmodernism and religious worldview, in particular, the Christian doctrine. The heuristic potential of the concept of “kenosis” is revealed in the works of the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo as applied to the interpretation of the history of philosophy simultaneously in the context of Christian doctrine and philosophy of postmodernism. In the context of the Christian doctrine, kenosis means “exhaustion” of God as His voluntary descent into the world through incarnation and death on the cross for the salvation of people. This is a specifically Christian thesis closely related to the unique tenets of Christian theology, anthropology, and soteriology. Vattimo considers it possible to use the concept of kenosis as a basis for understanding the relationship between Christianity and postmodernity, since it is in the perspective of Divine “exhaustion” that the true nature of the evangelism is revealed, which cannot be reduced to an ontotheological metanarrative. The article also proposes the concept of a historical interpretation of the Gospel in the works of the modern British biblical scholar Nicholas Thomas Wright as one of the possible strategies for explicating the “intersection points” between postmodern philosophy and Christian theology. It is concluded that the assertion about the antagonism and incompatibility of postmodernism and Christianity is superficial and this issue requires a more careful and comprehensive study.
Orthodox military clergy in World War I
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius Theological Institute of Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies, Bezik Priest Georgii
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the consideration of the role of military priests during World War I. The starting points are the assertions that with the arrival of Christianity on the territory of Russia, the state power received a powerful tool of patriotic education, motivation and stimulation for the processes of defending a civil position during hostilities during various years in opposition to an external enemy, a mechanism for calling not only military intelligentsia, but also ordinary citizens and ordinary soldiers to fight for the Motherland, family, and Russian land. However, today among modern researchers there is no single point of view regarding the role of military clergy in World War I, and the opinions of researchers about the importance of the military clergy in this historical period differ dramatically. On the basis of the analysis, it was found that the participation of the military clergy in the context of World War I had both positive and negative factors of influence on maintaining the fighting spirit, patriotic mood, dedication and desire to protect the Motherland at all costs among members of the army of the Russian Empire. Despite the presence of a complex of negative tendencies in the influence of the clergy during World War I, which was due to a combination of additional external and internal factors of the disintegration of the institution of the clergy at that time, one cannot deny the invaluable contribution of the military clergy to Russia’s achievements in World War I.
The Great Patriotic War and the Russian Orthodox Church on the pages of the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate” in 1943–1945
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius Theological Institute of Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies, Kopylov Artem A.
Published: April 2021

The article presents an analysis of the materials in the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate” from 1943–1945, devoted to the Great Patriotic War and the position of the Russian Orthodox Church in relation to this terrible event in the history of mankind. There are four main blocks of materials: the official chronicle of the war, coverage of military events and the situation of the Church in the conditions of military operations, messages to the faithful population in the territories embroiled in military operations, and articles on particular issues related to the war. Of great importance is not only the coverage of the chronicle, but also the support in the conditions of the ongoing war, which was provided to believers by bishops Patriarch Sergius (Stragorodsky), Metropolitan Alexy (Simansky, Patriarch since February 1945), and Metropolitan Nikolai (Yarushevich). In the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate”, the struggle against the German invaders was regarded as a struggle against the servants of the devil. Correspondence from the field testified to the damage caused by the Nazis not only to the Church, but also to the civilian population. In the mid-1940s, the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate” became the publication where the Russian Orthodox Church could express both its attitude to events and its unity with the people, which was necessary in the conditions of war.
Heavy metals’ removal from aqueous environments using silica sulfuric acid
Authors: Hosseinahli Nasrin , Hasanov Maherram , Abbasi Maryam
Published: April 2021

There is a growing environmental and health concern associated with contamination by heavy metals. It has also been intensified due to an increase of the exposure to such pollutants as a result of industrial and technological growth. Therefore, it is necessary to remove heavy metals in contaminated water to eliminate the associated risks. This study focused on the removal of heavy metal ions using silica sulfuric acid (SSA). A comprehensive study was conducted to assess the effect of different factors on the adsorption by SSA as well as selectivity properties of the adsorbent, kinetic and thermodynamic studies of the adsorption process. A batch test was used to remove heavy metals from a multi-element solution containing Ni(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II). The results showed that removal rate reached its peak at pH, string time, and adsorbent amount equal to 8, 60 min, and 0.04 g/mL of solution, respectively. The removal efficiency of Ni2+, Cd2+, Mn2+ dropped by increasing the volume of solution and smoothed at 150 mL while the removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ did not vary with the volume. The removal efficiency by SSA was decreased as Pb > >Mn > >Ni ≥ Cu > Cd. In general, SSA successfully removed heavy metals from contaminated water.
Encapsulation of Lipid-based Formulations in Porous Carriers for
Controlled Drug Delivery
Authors: Tran Phuong H.L. , Tran Thao T.D.
Published: April 2021

:

Lipid-based formulations have recently been investigated as a promising approach
to enhance the bioavailability of drugs, especially poorly water-soluble drugs.
The encapsulation of lipid-based formulations in porous materials can result in a transformation
of liquids or semisolid forms to solid dosage forms. Moreover, the specific structure
of porous carriers could offer an enhanced ability to load and control active pharmaceutical
ingredients. Although there have been prominent reports on lipid-based formulations
and porous materials as promising technologies for controlled drug release, the overall
methods of encapsulating lipid-based formulations need to be discussed for further formulation
investigations. This review aims to present the key strategies used for producing
porous carriers containing lipid-based formulations. We also discuss methods that enhance
the encapsulation efficiency of loaded drugs within porous structures (instead of
lipid-based formulations). Moreover, the critical factors that affect tablet formation are
outlined. This overview of lipid-based formulations encapsulated within porous materials
provides a summary of the technical methods used in the development of these formulations
and their clinical translation.
Wnt/β-catenin Antagonists: Exploring New Avenues to Trigger Old Drugs
in Alleviating Glioblastoma Multiforme
Authors: Precilla Daisy S. , Kuduvalli Shreyas S. , Purushothaman Mugilarasi , Marimuthu Parthiban , Muralidharan Arumugam Ramachandran , Anitha Thirugnanasambandham Sivasubramanian
Published: April 2021

Background:

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is one of the most heterogeneous primary
brain tumors with high mortality. In spite of the current therapeutic approaches, the survival
rate remains poor, with death occurring within 12 to 15 months after the preliminary diagnosis.
This warrants the need for an effective treatment modality. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is presumably
the most noteworthy pathway upregulated in almost 80% of GBM cases, contributing to tumor
initiation, progression, and survival. Therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting key components
of the Wnt/β-catenin cascade using established genotoxic agents like temozolomide and pharmacological
inhibitors would be an effective approach to modulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Recently,
drug repurposing by means of effective combination therapy has gained importance in various
solid tumors, including GBM, by targeting two or more proteins in a single pathway, thereby
possessing the ability to overcome the hurdle implicated by chemoresistance in GBM.

Objective:

In this context, by employing computational tools, an attempt has been made to find out
the novel combinations against the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.

Methods:

We have explored the binding interactions of three conventional drugs - namely temozolomide,
metformin and chloroquine - along with three natural compounds, viz. epigallocatechin
gallate, naringenin and phloroglucinol, on the major receptors of Wnt/β-catenin signalling.

Results:

It was noted that all the experimental compounds showed profound interaction with two
major receptors of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Conclusion:

To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to characterize the combined
interactions of the aforementioned drugs with the Wnt/β-catenin signalling in silico, and this
will putatively open up new avenues for combination therapies in GBM treatment.
Properties of Mg-based metal matrix nanocomposites processed by high shear dispersion technique (HSDT) - a review
Authors: Yang Hong , Patel Jayesh B , Yang Xinliang , Gavras Sarkis , Dieringa Hajo
Published: April 2021

:

Metal Matrix Nanocomposites (MMNCs) often show excellent properties compared to their non-reinforced alloys due to either the achieved grain refinement or Orowan strengthening. Especially in light metals such as aluminium and magnesium as the matrix has the potential to be significantly improved in relation to mechanical properties. Functionalisation can also be achieved in some cases. However, the challenge lies in the homogeneous distribution of the ceramic nanoparticles in the melt, if MMNCs are processed via melt metallurgical processes. The large surface area of the nanoparticles generates large van der Waals forces which have to be overcome. Furthermore, the wettability of the particles with molten metal is difficult. Additional forces can be applied by ultrasound, electromagnetic stirring or even high-shearing. In this paper properties of MMNCs with a light metal matrix will be presented, which were produced with the High-Shearing Dispersion Technique. First, the process with its different characteristics and the underlying theory is presented and then property improvements are discussed by comparing MMNCs to their matrix materials.

GA based Feature Selection for Multimodal Biometric Authentication
Authors:   St. Peters Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai., Priya A. Saravana , Mukesh Dr. Rajeswari
Published: April 2021

Multi-modal biometric authentication effectively replaces uni-modal biometric authentication system towards addressing a wide range of technical glitches in identity management and authentication. Legitimacy is playing a vital role in banking, military, and healthcare sectors where highly secure, strategic and confidential data transmission is involved. By integrating many independent biometric systems, one can overcome the problems of spoofing. However, there is lack of a simple, efficient and sufficient biometric authentication. Hence, the present study focuses on designing and implementing a multi-modal biometric authentication using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based feature extraction method. The proposed research focuses on extracting human Skeleton and Human face feature using 3D Imaging technology. This modelling technique is used to capture human joints including the depth data to improve the efficiency of the system. The proposed research is subdivided into three phases. These are, image preprocessing (MinMax method), feature extraction using Heuristic Optimization Techniques (HOT), and Personnel recognition via the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The Performance of the proposed method is evaluated based on the measure of FAR, FRR and accuracy. Finally, the performance of proposed approach is compared with existing techniques like GA, Neural network, etc. Combined Biometric is done in an unobtrusive way whereas other human recognition needs physical contact.
Identification of the most preferred topographic elevation characteristics for the wild olive trees in Al-Baha Region, Saudi Arabia
Authors:   Department of Biology, College of Sciences, Al-Baha University, Al-Baha, Saudi Arabia, Al-Ghamdi Abdullah Saleh
Published: April 2021

The aim of this research was to identify the topographical elevation characteristics most preferred by wild olive trees in the Al-Baha region. This study successfully identified the elevation preferred by wild olives. The results show that the majority (81.6%) of wild olives are located at an elevation range of 1,750–2,500m. However, in the Al-Mandaq sub-region, many wild olive trees can also be found at a lower elevation of 1,250–1,500m, while wild olive presence at a higher elevation of 2000–2,500m can be found in the Al-Baha sub-region. It was observed that at a lower elevation of 1500–1750m, most wild olive crown sizes are small, indicating that the wild olive prefers a higher elevation to grow well. These findings can be regarded as theoretically indicating landforms suitable for olive plantation. As a basis for the suitability of olive plantation sites, these topographical characteristics factors are the essential prerequisites. However, it is obvious that site suitability is subject to the temporal dynamics of environmental variables.
Application of load-adapted hybrid textiles for a thermoplastic seat pass-through
Authors: Schreiter Michael , Nebel Daniel , Körner Enrico , Saleem Arham , Schlegel Manuel
Published: April 2021

The potential of a continuous non-crimp fabric (NCF) process with implemented offset technologies is demonstrated by a case study of a seat pass-through. Topology optimization with the relevant load cases and the construction of a load-adapted composite design with a weight saving of up to 18 percent is presented. Inverse draping identifies a two-dimensional development of the construction and prepares it for production based on the restrictions of textile technology. The downstream process capability of textiles produced in this way was investigated by impregnating heavy tows with polypropylene on laboratory scale and subsequent material characterization of the resulting laminates. The impregnation and consolidation of the seat pass-through is performed with load path adapted semi-finished products using novel variothermal, fluid-based pressing. This allows better control over the dynamic impregnation and unwanted fiber washing due to the large gradient of the areal weight. The final processing in injection molding tool of the reference component shows the applicability of the technology also in existing process chains and illustrates the potential of the consistent consideration of a load-adapted composite design in the development process.
Survival Analysis of Patients With COVID-19 in India by Demographic Factors: Quantitative Study
Authors: Kundu Sampurna , Chauhan Kirti , Mandal Debarghya
Published: April 2021

Background

Studies of the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 have depicted the rate, patterns, and predictions of cases of this pandemic disease. To combat transmission of the disease in India, the government declared a lockdown on March 25, 2020. Even after this strict lockdown was enacted nationwide, the number of COVID-19 cases increased and surpassed 450,000. A positive point to note is that the number of recovered cases began to slowly exceed that of active cases. The survival of patients, taking death as the event that varies by age group and sex, is noteworthy.

Objective

The aim of this study was to conduct a survival analysis to establish the variability in survivorship of patients with COVID-19 in India by age group and sex at different levels, that is, the national, state, and district levels.

Methods

The study period was taken from the date of the first reported case of COVID-19 in India, which was January 30, 2020, up to June 30, 2020. Due to the amount of underreported data and removal of missing columns, a total sample of 26,815 patients was considered. Kaplan-Meier survival estimation, the Cox proportional hazard model, and the multilevel survival model were used to perform the survival analysis.

Results

The Kaplan-Meier survival function showed that the probability of survival of patients with COVID-19 declined during the study period of 5 months, which was supplemented by the log rank test (P<.001) and Wilcoxon test (P<.001) to compare the survival functions. Significant variability was observed in the age groups, as evident from all the survival estimates; with increasing age, the risk of dying of COVID-19 increased. The Cox proportional hazard model reiterated that male patients with COVID-19 had a 1.14 times higher risk of dying than female patients (hazard ratio 1.14; SE 0.11; 95% CI 0.93-1.38). Western and Central India showed decreasing survival rates in the framed time period, while Eastern, North Eastern, and Southern India showed slightly better results in terms of survival.

Conclusions

This study depicts a grave scenario of decreasing survival rates in various regions of India and shows variability in these rates by age and sex. In essence, we can safely conclude that the critical appraisal of the survival rate and thorough analysis of patient data in this study equipped us to identify risk groups and perform comparative studies of various segments in India.

Association of Opioid Use Disorder With 2016 Presidential Voting Patterns: Cross-sectional Study in New York State at Census Tract Level (Preprint)
Authors: Xiang Anthony , Hou Wei , Rashidian Sina , Rosenthal Richard N , Abell-Hart Kayley , Zhao Xia , Wang Fusheng
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND

Opioid overdose-related deaths have increased dramatically in recent years. Combating the opioid epidemic requires better understanding of the epidemiology of opioid poisoning (OP) and opioid use disorder (OUD).

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to discover geospatial patterns in nonmedical opioid use and its correlations with demographic features related to despair and economic hardship, most notably the US presidential voting patterns in 2016 at census tract level in New York State.

METHODS

This cross-sectional analysis used data from New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System claims data and the presidential voting results of 2016 in New York State from the Harvard Election Data Archive. We included 63,958 patients who had at least one OUD diagnosis between 2010 and 2016 and 36,004 patients with at least one OP diagnosis between 2012 and 2016. Geospatial mappings were created to compare areas of New York in OUD rates and presidential voting patterns. A multiple regression model examines the extent that certain factors explain OUD rate variation.

RESULTS

Several areas shared similar patterns of OUD rates and Republican vote: census tracts in western New York, central New York, and Suffolk County. The correlation between OUD rates and the Republican vote was .38 (P<.001). The regression model with census tract level of demographic and socioeconomic factors explains 30% of the variance in OUD rates, with disability and Republican vote as the most significant predictors.

CONCLUSIONS

At the census tract level, OUD rates were positively correlated with Republican support in the 2016 presidential election, disability, unemployment, and unmarried status. Socioeconomic and demographic despair-related features explain a large portion of the association between the Republican vote and OUD. Together, these findings underscore the importance of socioeconomic interventions in combating the opioid epidemic.

The Goodreads “Classics”: A Computational Study of Readers, Amazon, and Crowdsourced Amateur Criticism
Authors: Walsh Melanie , Antoniak Maria
Published: April 2021

This essay examines how Goodreads users define, discuss, and debate “classic” literature by computa-tionally analyzing and close reading more than 120,000 user reviews. We begin by exploring how crowdsourced tagging systems like those found on Goodreads have influenced the evolution of genre among readers and amateur critics, and we highlight the contemporary value of the “classics” in particu-lar. We identify the most commonly tagged “classic” literary works and find that Goodreads users have curated a vision of literature that is less diverse, in terms of the race and ethnicity of authors, than many U.S. high school and college syllabi. Drawing on computational methods such as topic modeling, we point to some of the forces that influence readers’ perceptions, such as schooling and what we call the classic industry — industries that benefit from the reinforcement of works as classics in other mediums and domains like film, television, publishing, and e-commerce (e.g., Goodreads and Amazon). We also high-light themes that users commonly discuss in their reviews (e.g., boring characters) and writing styles that often stand out in them (e.g., conversational and slangy language). Throughout the essay, we make the case that computational methods and internet data, when combined, can help literary critics capture the creative explosion of reader responses and critique algorithmic culture’s effects on literary history.
Voice
Authors: Mavrody Nika , McGrath Laura B. , Nomura Nichole , Sherman Alexander
Published: April 2021

The concept of the writer’s voice is central to the way that contemporary literature is read, evaluated, circulated, and criticized, appearing everywhere from the creative writing classroom to online reader reviews. Yet, voice remains a slippery and tendentious concept: Is voice something a writer has, or is it something a writer is? Does everyone have a voice? Are some voices voicier, and how? What form does voice take on the page? How is voice different from style or constrained by genre? In this essay, we track voice’s many meanings across a large corpus of what we call “vernacular literary criticism.” First, we consider the ways that voice is used in different communities and the writers it is used to describe. Second, we develop a conceptual model of voice’s many uses, based on our reading of a (limited) ver-sion of our composite corpus. Finally, we build a word-embedding model to track voice’s use in a larger discourse. Ultimately, we show that voice, style, and genre operate in a unified vernacular critical sys-tem, that voice (along with genre) is a subcategory of style, and that voice consists of the parts of style not otherwise captured by genre.
The Asian American Literature We’ve Constructed
Authors: Le-Khac Long , Hao Kate
Published: April 2021

This article deploys text mining and quantitative analysis to survey the breadth of the Asian American literary corpus and the scholarship framing it. We have built a database covering all scholarship in the MLA bibliography, Amerasia, and the Journal of Asian American Studies that studies a literary work under the rubric of Asian American. For the works and authors cited, we collected a wealth of metadata from publisher and genre to gender, ethnicity, and more. Asian Americanists have long debated the definition of Asian American literature, but we have not traced the choices of scholarly attention that have accreted over decades and hundreds of publications to shape a canon. The results here reveal the systemic effects and inequalities generated by those choices. They confirm a long-suspected bias toward contemporary literature. They reveal troubling ethnic inequalities. The literatures of Asian American ethnic groups beyond the six most studied groups receive minimal attention. Korean American literature has leaped to second most studied, resulting in a reconfigured East Asian American hegemony: Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. This was enabled by a troubling decline in studies of Filipinx American literature, once central to the field. Much Filipinx American literature is today studied outside the Asian American framework entirely. Meanwhile, the conflation of Chinese American literature with Asian American literature has intensified. The field’s rhetoric of diversification has masked persistent inequalities in our critical practices. More encouragingly, the corpus has surpassed gender equity, placing women writers at the center of the field. The work of building the Asian American corpus we would want is far from over. Data-driven methods can be powerful

allies in the self-scrutiny necessary to this work.
Against Conglomeration
Authors: Sinykin Dan , Roland Edwin
Published: April 2021

In the 1980s, anxiety about the extensive and ongoing conglomeration of the publishing industry led to the emergence of a movement of nonprofit publishers. It included counter-culture figures like Coffee House’s Allan Kornblum and Milkweed’s Emilie Buchwald, who got their start with boutique letterpresses; political and aesthetic activists like Arte Público’s Nicolás Kanellos, Feminist Press’s Florence Howe, and Dalkey Archive’s John O’Brien; and refugees from conglomeration like Fiona McCrae and André Schiffrin. Non-profits often defined themselves by their support for literariness, and which they depicted as under threat from commercial houses, which helped them gain support from private foundations, philanthropists, and government agencies like the National Endowment for the Arts. We discovered that these two different ways of structuring publishers’ finances—conglomerate and nonprofit—created a split within literature, yielding two distinct modes of American writing after 1980. This essay characterizes the two modes, explains how the split between them happened, and illustrates the significance of this shift for the rise of multiculturalism.

Grupos de crianza comunitaria: ¿iniciativas comunitarias o grupos identitarios?
Authors: Díaz Gorfinkiel Magdalena , Elizalde-San Miguel Begoña
Published: April 2021

Este artículo analiza las iniciativas de cuidado comunitario surgidas en la ciudad de Madrid durante los últimos años y cuyo objetivo es promover la participación de la comunidad en el cuidado de los menores durante la primera etapa de la infancia. El trabajo reflexiona sobre la presencia de lo comunitario en los discursos de sus participantes y analiza la capacidad de estos grupos para revertir las desigualdades que plantea la actual organización social de los cuidados. Los resultados muestran que, si bien la composición y estructura de estas iniciativas ha conseguido dotarlas de una fuerte identidad social que genera fuertes vínculos comunitarios entre sus miembros, esta misma identidad limita su capacidad de traspasar las fronteras de estos grupos y contribuir a una transformación social más amplia.
Cuidado comunitario, políticas públicas y racionalidades políticas. El Estado y las trabajadoras vecinales de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Rosas Carolina , Gil Araujo Sandra
Published: April 2021

Este artículo aborda el trabajo comunitario que realizan las mujeres de sectores populares, en el marco de la implementación de las políticas sociales. El caso de estudio es la red de trabajadoras vecinales que sostiene el Plan Más Vida en la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Se problematiza el modo en que, desde el Estado, se ha pensado y actuado respecto del trabajo de estas mujeres, en conexión con las racionalidades políticas neoliberales. Asimismo, se indaga en las percepciones construidas por las trabajadoras acerca de la naturaleza de su trabajo no remunerado. En los últimos años se registran escasos cambios en los aspectos analizados, aunque en el plano discursivo hay indicios de una mayor valoración del cuidado por parte del Estado.
La gestión de lo común como nuevas formas de ciudadanía. El caso de las cuidadoras comunitarias migrantes en Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Magliano María José , Perissinotti Maria Victoria
Published: April 2021

El propósito de este artículo es analizar la articulación entre políticas sociales y gestión de lo común, a partir de reconstruir las prácticas de cuidado comunitario de mujeres migrantes peruanas en las Salas Cuna, programa implementado por el gobierno de la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina) destinado al cuidado de niños/as de 45 días a 3 años que viven en barrios periféricos. Con base en una metodología cualitativa, este estudio argumenta que la gestión de lo común por parte de mujeres migrantes en contextos de relegación urbana expresa el modo en que el Estado habilita formas concretas de inclusión diferencial, ancladas a un territorio y atravesadas por fuertes constreñimientos de género y de clase, que propician la configuración de prácticas de ciudadanía.

Latvian Grammar
Authors:   University of Latvia, Kalnača Andra , Lokmane Ilze
Published: April 2021

“Latvian Grammar” was written to make information about the Latvian language and its grammatical system more easily available not only within Latvia, but also beyond its borders. A modern grammar of Latvian written in English is as important for native speakers of Latvian as for those who have learned Latvian as a second language and also is of great value for anyone interested in the culture and history of Latvia or the Latvian language itself. The need for a reference grammar of Latvian written in English is especially important right now due to the existence of a large Latvian diaspora community abroad, particularly in English-speaking countries where children and young people are educated in the language of their home countries rather than in Latvian. A Latvian grammar written in English will also be useful for those who are learning Latvian as a foreign language and wish to learn more about its grammatical system and unique features. Likewise, “Latvian grammar” will be a useful reference and source for examples for teachers of Latvian – both those who teach it to speakers as a school or university subject and those who teach it as a foreign language. There is also considerable demand among linguists abroad for a systematic and dependable description of Latvian written by native speakers of Latvian. Latvian is a rather unique combination of ancient as well as relatively new features, which are of interest to researchers abroad and are important for the typological, cognitive, pragmatic, functional, and contrastive analysis of language.

Corporate governance and voluntary sustainability practices in Islamic bank: A study in the MENA region
Authors: Chouaibi Jamel , Chouaibi Yamina , Chaabane Noomen
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of selected governance characteristics on the level of environmental disclosure in Islamic banks within the MENA zone. This study used a sample of 40 Islamic banks as part of a new data set, namely the data collected from the annual reports. Environmental disclosure is developed to measure the level of environmental information. We measure the environmental disclosure by both the energy disclosure items and the natural environment disclosure item provided by the annual reports. Multiple linear regression analyzes were used to verify the effect of a bank’s governance characteristics on the level of environmental disclosure. This study may contribute to the existing literature by providing insights from countries with an emerging economy and providing updated documentary and empirical evidence concerning the association between the characteristics of governance and the level of environmental disclosure of Islamic banks within the MENA zone
