Roti dan Roti Tak-Beragi
Authors: Rachman Rasid
Published: April 2022

ABSTRAK: Ada narasi di dalam kata. Narasi menyampaikan pandangan hidup. Pandangan hidup melukiskan teologi masyarakat melalui keseharian. Salah satu keseharian manusia adalah makan. Makan dapat merupakan kebutuhan hidup, namun makan juga dapat merupakan ritus perjamuan. Salah satu elemen makan adalah roti. Alkitab mengisahkan dua jenis roti, yaitu roti dan roti tak-beragi. Hal ini mendorong saya untuk menelusuri pandangan Alkitab akan roti dan roti-tak-beragi. Penggunaan roti atau roti tak-beragi menarasikan keseharian dan ritual masyarakat Israel kuno dan kekristenan sekitar Mediterania. Alkitab menyimpan narasi itu untuk kita. Saya coba menelusuri kata dan praktik penggunaan roti atau roti tak-beragi dalam perjamuan-perjamuan umat Yahudi, baik Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru, dan kekristenan awal. Muara dari tulisan ini adalah elemen perjamuan yang sepantasnya bagi gereja masa kini: apakah roti atau apakah roti tak-beragi. Sekalipun warisan mengarahkan penggunaan elemen perjamuan, namun keterbukaan dan pengembangan atas elemen warisan adalah seharusnya sikap gereja dalam upaya kontekstualisasi.

 ABSTRACT: There is a narrative in the word. The narrative tells the way of life. The way of life draws the theology of society in daily life. One of the people daily life is a meal. A meal is not only the need of life but also the social rite. One element of the meal is bread. The Bible tells about two kinds of bread, namely: the bread and the unleavened bread. Those two kinds of bread motivated me to find out how the Bible distinguishes both the meaning and practice of those bread. The use of the bread and the unleavened bread narrate the society daily life and ritual both ancient Israel and the Christianity of the first century around the Mediterranean. The Bible gives that narrative to us. I search both word and practice of the bread and the unleavened bread with the meal of the Jews, as being told by the Old Testament and the New Testament especially the early Christianity.  The point of this article is the deserve element of the Eucharist of the Church today: the bread or the unleavened bread. Above all, even though the tradition of the Church told one of those elements, we should open our mind to contextualization.

Ketika Awam Membaca Sodom
Authors: Setyono Vania Sharleen
Published: April 2022

Abstrak: Di Indonesia, kisah Sodom dalam Kejadian 19:1-19 selalu dijadikan legitimasi untuk menolak eksistensi homoseksual, yang berujung pada diskriminasi dan kekerasan terhadap kelompok homoseksual. Berbagai wacana tafsir yang dikembangkan oleh para ahli tafsir terbagi menjadi dua kelompok besar dalam melihat penghukuman kota Sodom: (1) kelompok yang kontra homoseksual melihatnya sebagai hukuman atas dosa homoseksualitas dan (2) kelompok yang pro-homoseksual mengatakan karena pelanggaran nilai hospitalitas. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk memperluas wacana tafsir yang sudah ada tanpa menafikan tafsiran-tafsiran terdahulu dengan melakukan penelitian menggunakan metode Intercultural Hermeneutics dari Hans de Wit. Penelitian kualitatif dilakukan dengan focus group discussion di beberapa kelompok pembaca awam, penelitian menemukan bahwa isu patriarki juga bermain dalam persoalan penghukuman kisah Sodom.

 

Abstract: It is profoundly known that in Indonesia, Genesis 19:1-19 is used to legitimate the movement against homosexual, to discriminate and abuse them. For years, scholars have shaped two different major perspectives in interpreting the passage as a form of God's punishment towards Sodom. One take side against homosexuals and conclude that the passage speaks about God’s punishment of homosexuality since it is counted as sin while the others take side on homosexuals and agreed that the passage was merely a violation of hospitality. This article expands the aforementioned discourse and broaden the horizon by exploring a new thought based on qualitative research with an intercultural hermeneutics approach developed by Hans de Wit. Along with such an approach, the focus group discussion with ordinary readers resulted that the problem mentioned in Genesis 19 is a matter of patriarchy issues.

Kisah Luth (Lot) dan Kejahatan Kaum Sodom
Authors: Kristianto Andreas , Listijabudi Daniel K
Published: April 2022

Abstract

The  story of Luth (read:  Lot)  is  usually read as a text about  homosexuality in both Christianity and Islam.  By exploring a cross-textual reading from leading Muslim interpreters  in Indonesia, Hamka  with  Al Azhar Juzu Commentary, Quraish Shihab with  Al Misbah Commentary  and interpretation  of  the Ministry of Religion, this article unveils the hidden meaning of Luth’s story, which today’s readers often overlook, especially concerning the text of the Qur'an, namely Surah Asy-Syu’ara 26: 166-175,  Surah Al-Naml  27: 54-59  and Surah Al-Ankabut  29: 28-30. Through a cross-textual reading, the article unveils the new meaning of the story, i.e., the crimes  of the Sodomites not only related  to sexual violence and hostility, but also, with the terms al-fahisyah  (abomination),  al-sayyiat (crime),  al-musrifun  (people who are excessive),  al-’adun  (people who transgress),  al-jahl  (ignorance), and alkhaba’is (bad deeds), which are the accumulation of various kinds of crimes, crimes, and abominations degrading humanity. The cross-textual reading between the interpreters of the Qur’an and the Bible provides the viewpoints, insights, and values in the cross-textual hermeneutical encounter of different religions, traditions, and scriptures.

Keywords:  Story  of  Luth,  Christian  and Islam, Cross-textual,  Homosexuality, Hermeneutic

 

Abstrak

Kisah Luth (baca:  Lot) biasanya  menjadi rujukan  untuk  berbicara  tentang homoseksualitas  baik  di dalam  agama  Kristen maupun  Islam.  Dengan  eksplorasi pembacaan  secara lintas  tekstual  dari  mufasir  Islam  terkemuka di  Indonesia  yaitu Hamka dengan  Tafsir Al  Azhar Juzu, Quraish  Shihab dengan  Tafsir Al  Misbah, dan Tafsir  Kementerian Agama,  artikel ini akan menggali  makna  tersembunyi dari  kisah  Luth  yang  sering kali  terlewatkan dari perhatian  pembaca  masa  kini, khususnya  berkaitan  dengan  teks Al-Qur’an  yaitu  Surah Asy-Syu’ara  26: 166-175, Surah Al-Naml  27:  54-59  dan Surah Al-Ankabut  29:  28-30.  Makna  baru  dalam tulisan  ini adalah  kejahatan kaum Sodom  tidak  hanya menyangkut  soal kekerasan seksual dan ketidakramahan (inhospitality)  saja, tetapi juga berkaitan  dengan istilah  al-fahisyah  (kekejian),  al-sayyiat  (kejahatan),  al-musrifun  (orang yang berlebihan),  al-‘adun  (orang yang melampaui  batas),  al-jahl  (kebodohan),  dan al-khaba’is  (perbuatan  buruk),  yang  merupakan akumulasi  dari  berbagai macam kejahatan,  kriminalitas  dan  kekejian  yang  merendahkan  martabat  kemanusiaan. Dari pembacaan  lintas  tekstual  antara  mufasir  Al-Qur’an  dan  Alkitab,  kita mendapatkan  cara  pandang,  wawasan,  dan nilai-nilai  yang  membangun  dalam perjumpaan  cross-textual hermeneutic  antara agama, tradisi,  dan kitab  suci yang berbeda.

Engaging Human Sexuality
Authors: Palm Selina , Gaum Laurie
Published: April 2022

The development of experiential human sexuality workshops within faith communities in South Africa (SA) is showcased. The findings from a 2019 empirical study with local church congregations around LGBTIQ+ belonging are used as starting point. The intervention brings together people of diverse sexualities and genders from various Christian faith contexts. Methodologies from a longstanding programme developed in the USA are adapted, that was shaped by learnings from the SA Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This is reworked into a continuum approach to sexuality and gender, developing new tools, and using the lens of intersectionality within the SA context. The article explores the potential and pitfalls of using the workshop piloted twice in 2020, more widely in faith settings to create spaces for safe encounter between straight and LGBTIQ+ people engaging on human sexuality, building solidarity and strengthening ally-ship. It concludes to show how an important gap within both LGBTIQ+ activism and theology is met.

Das Verhältnis zwischen EMRK und EWR-Recht: Warum nicht eine Vermutung für die Vermutung der Konventionskonformität? Zugleich eine Besprechung der Entscheidung des EGMR in der Rs. Konkurrenten.no/Norwegen
Authors: Neier Christina
Published: April 2022

In seiner wegweisenden Entscheidung in Bosphorus klärte der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte das Verhältnis zwischen der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention und dem Unionsrecht. In der Rs. Konkurrenten.no/Norwegen hatte der Gerichtshof im Jahr 2019 erstmals die Gelegenheit, sich auch zum Abkommen über den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum zu äußern. In einem obiter dictum verneinte der EGMR die Übertragbarkeit der Bosphorus-Judikatur auf das EWR-Recht. Das erstaunt, zumal das EWR-Recht in der Regel dem EU-Recht entspricht. Zugleich eröffnet sich dem EGMR hiermit die Möglichkeit, mittelbar EU-Recht zu überprüfen. Vorliegender Beitrag schlägt daher vor, für das EWR-Recht zumindest eine Vermutung für die Vermutung der Konventionskonformität im Sinne der Bosphorus-Formel gelten zu lassen.
Die Pflicht zur Veröffentlichung einer Ad-hoc-Mitteilung bei Compliance-Verstößen
Authors: Fromberger Mathias
Published: April 2022

No company likes to publish bad news on its own account. In the case of compliance cases, this can cost listed companies dearly. Compliance breaches can constitute insider information and as such must be disclosed on an ad hoc basis to capital markets. If issuers violate this obligation, they may face fines and claims for damages. The present work first elaborates on the prerequisites of the ad hoc disclosure obliga-tion. It then develops a guideline as to when violations of codes, public law, corporate and criminal law must be disclosed on an ad hoc basis. In this way, the work aims to contribute to the academic discourse as well as to be a guidance for practice.

Critical Dry Spell Prediction in Rain-Fed Maize Crop Using Artificial Neural Network in Nigeria
Authors: Okonkwo Nnoli Nnadozie , Balogun Ahmed , Omotosho Jerome , Agele Samuel
Published: April 2022

Prediction of yearly mid-growing season first and second critical dry spells using artificial neural networks (ANN) for enhanced maize yield in nine stations in Nigeria is performed. The ANN model uses nine meteorological parameters to predict onset dates and lengths of the critical dry spells. The daily dataset is from 1971 to 2013 of which about 70% is used for training while 30% is for testing. Seven ANN models are developed for each station with a view to measuring their predictive ability by comparing predicted values with the observed ones. Prediction lead times for the two critical dry spell onset dates generally range from about 2 weeks to 2 months for the nine stations. Error range during testing for the onset dates and lengths of first and second critical dry spells is generally ±4 days. The root-mean-square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination, Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency, Wilmott\'s index of agreement, and RMSE observation standard deviation ratio range from 0.46 to 3.31, 0.58 to 0.93, 0.51 to 0.90, 0.82 to 0.95, and 0.30 to 0.69, respectively. These results show ANN capability of making the above reliable predictions for yearly supplementary irrigation planning, scheduling, and various other decision makings related to sustainable agricultural operations for improved rain-fed maize crop yield in Nigeria.
Semiconductor Epitaxial Crystal Growth: Silicon Nanowires
Authors: M. Khayyat Maha
Published: April 2022

The topic of nanowires is one of the subjects of technological rapid-progress research. This chapter reviews the experimental work and the advancement of nanowires technology since the past decade, with more focus on the recent work. Nanowires can be grown from several materials including semiconductors, such as silicon. Silicon is a semiconductor material with a very technological importance, reflected by the huge number of publications. Nanowires made of silicon are of particular technological importance, in addition to their nanomorphology-related applications. A detailed description of the first successfully reported Vapor–Liquid–Solid (VLS) 1-D growth of silicon crystals is presented. The bottom-up approach, the supersaturation in a three-phase system, and the nucleation at the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes are discussed with more focus on silicon. Positional assembly of nanowires using the current available techniques, including Nanoscale Chemical Templating (NCT), can be considered as the key part of this chapter for advanced applications. Several applied and conceptional methods of developing the available technologies using nanowires are included, such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and photovoltaic (PV) cells, and more are explained. The final section of this chapter is devoted to the future trend in nanowires research, where it is anticipated that the effort behind nanowires research will proceed further to be implemented in daily electronic tools satisfying the demand of low-weight and small-size electronic devices.
Are Reliable and Emerging Technologies Available for Plastic Recycling in a Circular Economy?
Authors: A. Glaser John , Sahle-Demessie Endalkachew , L. Richardson Te’ri
Published: April 2022

A spectrum of plastics has been produced in the last 70 years, and plastic production has increased faster than any other manufactured material. Current recycling of all plastic materials is pegged at 10% or less. The social value that plastics enjoys is reflected in its myriad uses for engineered durability to single-use applications. Disposable or single-use plastic items have become a significant problem. Plastic debris has become ubiquitous to the landscape and aquatic resources, leading to human health, ecological concerns, and sustainability issues. Past disposal practices relied on waste plastic flows to certain countries for disposal, but these have been summarily curtailed, needing alternatives as productive and environmentally conscious recycling technology. Waste plastics can be repurposed using purification, decomposition, or conversion processes that are based on established and emerging mechanical and chemical technologies. Plastic recycling technologies, such as thermal, chemical, and biological depolymerization processes, including pyrolytic technologies using plastics-to-fuel strategies, are under development ranging from bench-scale demonstrations to full-scale implementation. The ideal of closed supply chain constraints offers optimal solutions to plastic recycling. Evaluation of new processes requires performance assessment to understand better how plastics recycling technologies contribute to the environment and the sustainable reuse of plastic materials.

Nrf2 as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Treatment of Huntington’s Disease
Authors: Jayaram Saravanan , Thaggikuppe Krishnamurthy Praveen , Joshi Meghana , Kumar Vishnu
Published: April 2022

Oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage plays a significant role in pathogenesis of several neuro-degenerative disorders including Huntington’s disease. In Huntington’s disease, oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage is reported to be mediated by PGC-1α and microglial cells. This development led to various clinical trials that tested the efficacy of several exogenous antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, etc. to prevent the oxidative stress-induced cell damage in several neuro-degenerative disorders. But these randomized clinical trials did not find any significant beneficial effects of exogenous antioxidants in neuro-degenerative disorders. This forced scientists to search endogenous targets that would enhance the production of antioxidants. Nrf2 is one such ideal target that increases the transcription of genes involved in production of antioxidants. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of antioxidant genes that defend cells against oxidative stress. This chapter focuses on the role of oxidative stress in Huntington’s disease and explores the therapeutic benefits of Nrf2 activators.

Authors: Park Jeongung , An Gyubaek , Kim Dusan
Published: April 2022

Abrasion easily occurs due to the characteristic of the usage environment such as oil sands and construction equipment, and the demand for a steel with excellent wear resistance is increasing in various industries where specific parts are frequently replaced. Recently, by controlling the amount of manganese, high manganese austenite steels with improved wear resistance and low temperature brittleness performance have been developed and widely applied to LNG fuel tanks of ships and pipes. In this study, the temperature distribution, residual stress, and weld deformation caused by welding generated by friction stir welding(FSW) and submerged arc welding(SAW) for high manganese austenite steel with strong wear resistance were analyzed through thermal elastic plastic analysis.
Football in the chain of fan violence: From media perspective
Authors: Milenković Vesna , Milenković Dejan
Published: April 2022

The aim of the conducted research is the perception of football in a chain of fan violence, with a special overview of the reporting of the media as social subjects whose task is to encourage other agents of the society to understand more seriously the problem and to respond more efficiently to violent and hooligan behaviour of football fans. By connecting theoretical findings and empirical data, the paper examines, within the subject of research in the media context, the examples of fan violence at football stadiums before, during and after football matches. The conclusion is that only with organized social action of all agents, in particular media, a solution to the problem of violence and hooliganism can be reached.
Rearticulating post-pandemic borders
Authors: Stojanović Đorđe
Published: April 2022

This paper theoretically examines the transformation in understanding borders within the COVID-19 (post-)pandemic context. The first part of the paper analyses the immunitary discourse as a new form of governance and interpretation of the "coronocratic" state. The second part explores the advantage of the dynamic/kinetic over static interpretation of boundaries and the importance of their hybrid and polymorphic attributes in the transition to the post-Westphalian international order. In the final part, it considers the implications of the pandemic metanarrative under which COVID-19 is treated as a dominant external threat, a specific type of enemy. Finally, the paper is concluded by identifying a two-fold process in their perception. This process, on the one hand, includes the reduction of the kinetic potentials of borders and, on the other, their externalization to the territories of allochthonous/"third" countries.
High-fidelity Turbulence Modeling for Numerical Wave Tank Applications: Evaluation of the Scale-Resolving PANS Approach
Authors: Iphineni Haneesha , Windén Björn , Girimaji Sharath S.
Published: April 2022

For analyzing vessel seakeeping, platform wave loads and similar tasks, potential flow-based methods are still the workhorse Numerical Wave Tank (NWT) used by industry. Recently, NWTs have employed more advanced viscous flow simulation methods. These are commonly based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach. RANS is often preferred by industry due to it’s lower computational cost in relation to better scale resolving methods. The RANS approach however, has limits in NWT applications. Firstly, it is not suited for studying unsteady turbulence phenomena at different scales of wave and fluid motion. Secondly, RANS turbulence models assume that the energy transport in turbulent flows can be described as a dissipative process. In a NWT where large parts of the flow is unsteady, but not dominated by turbulent variations, this could lead to non-physical dissipation of waves.

Focusing on the second issue, the applicability of the Partially-Averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) approach in NWTs is investigated in this paper. PANS is a suite of turbulence models of varying modeled to resolved scale ratios ranging from RANS to Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). PANS modeling allows for more direct control of how energy dissipation is treated. It is hypothesized that this will be beneficial in NWTs by reducing non-physical dissipation of waves.

Initial results for a regular wave tank are promising. About 40% of the wave amplitude was lost downstream with the RANS approach versus less than 3% with the PANS approach; using the same computational grid and with only a slight increase in the computational effort. Similar results were obtained for a self-contained ”dam break” simulation.
Virtual Telepresence for the Future of ROV Teleoperations: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Xia Pengxiang , McSweeney Kevin , Wen Feng , Song Zhuoyuan , Krieg Michael , Li Shuai , Yu Xiao , Crippen Kent , Adams Jonathan , Du Eric Jing
Published: April 2022

Underwater robots, including Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), are currently used to support underwater missions that are either impossible or too risky to be performed by manned systems. In recent years the academia and robotic industry have paved paths for tackling technical challenges for ROV/AUV operations. The level of intelligence of ROV/AUV has increased dramatically because of the recent advances in low-power-consumption embedded computing devices and machine intelligence (e.g., AI). Nonetheless, operating precisely underwater is still extremely challenging to minimize human intervention due to the inherent challenges and uncertainties associated with the underwater environments. Proximity operations, especially those requiring precise manipulation, are still carried out by ROV systems that are fully controlled by a human pilot. A workplace-ready and worker-friendly ROV interface that properly simplifies operator control and increases remote operation confidence is the central challenge for the wide adaptation of ROVs.

This paper examines the recent advances of virtual telepresence technologies as a solution for lowering the barriers to the human-in-the-loop ROV teleoperation. Virtual telepresence refers to Virtual Reality (VR) related technologies that help a user to feel that they were in a hazardous situation without being present at the actual location. We present a pilot system of using a VR-based sensory simulator to convert ROV sensor data into human-perceivable sensations (e.g., haptics). Building on a cloud server for real-time rendering in VR, a less trained operator could possibly operate a remote ROV thousand miles away without losing the minimum situational awareness. The system is expected to enable an intensive human engagement on ROV teleoperation, augmenting abilities for maneuvering and navigating ROV in unknown and less explored subsea regions and works. This paper also discusses the opportunities and challenges of this technology for ad hoc training, workforce preparation, and safety in the future maritime industry. We expect that lessons learned from our work can help democratize human presence in future subsea engineering works, by accommodating human needs and limitations to lower the entrance barrier.

Authors: Jones Jennifer L. , Gallus Kami L. , Emerson Sam R. , Sciarrillo Christina M. , Waldrop Tia C.
Published: April 2022

Background: People with intellectual disabilities experience health disparities and poorer health outcomes than people without disabilities. Increased physical activity has been found to reduce the impact of chronic health conditions among people with intellectual disabilities.

Method: The current study explored the impact of an inclusive walking program on the physical and mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities. Let’s Take A Walk paired adults with intellectual disabilities, hereafter referred to as Community Walkers (n = 27), with college students to walk around a college campus twice a week for 45 minutes across 10 weeks. Data on mental health outcomes, specifically depression and anxiety, were collected from 24 Community Walkers across four-time points (pre-, mid-, post-, and 3-months following intervention), and data on physical health outcomes were collected across two-time points (pre- and post-intervention).

Results: Community Walkers reported significant decreases in both depression and anxiety from pre to post-implementation. Particularly promising was clinically significant decreases in anxiety symptoms over the 10-week program. No differences were noted on Community Walkers’ measures of physical health.

Conclusion: Inclusive walking programs are a valuable and promising mechanism for building social connections and inclusion and improving mental health for adults with intellectual disabilities.

During the detection process, a facial expression of surprise could play an important role as a cue for orientation in conditions of uncertainty that call for a swift and precise response. With a view to analysing this contingency, an experiment was conducted in which 70 subjects undertook a spatial cueing task that involved facial expressions of surprise (vs. neutral ones) as orientation cues, and facial expressions of fear, anger and happiness as target stimuli. The results revealed a priming effect of the expression of surprise solely in the detection of the expression of anger, reducing response times and the percentage of errors. The data indicate that the expression of surprise, when processed as an independent stimulus, could prime the detection of those stimuli that constitute a direct threat, such as the expression of anger, with this being a crucial distinction for understanding the circumstances in which the expression of anger is detected more effectively than other kinds of expressions.

Las expresiones de amenaza son detectadas con rapidez y precisión, advirtiendo a quienes las observan de la presencia de un potencial peligro. Durante el proceso de detección, la expresión de sorpresa podría jugar un papel importante como clave de orientación en condiciones de incertidumbre donde se requiere una respuesta rápida y precisa. Con el objetivo de analizar este supuesto se plateó un experimento en el que participaron 70 sujetos que realizaron una tarea de señalización espacial, donde se utilizaron expresiones faciales de sorpresa (vs. neutra) como claves de orientación, y expresiones faciales de miedo, ira, alegría y neutras como estímulos objetivo. Los resultados mostraron un efecto facilitador de la expresión de sorpresa solo en la detección de la expresión de ira, reduciendo los tiempos de respuesta y el porcentaje de errores. Los datos apuntan a que la expresión de sorpresa, cuando se procesa como un estímulo independiente, podría facilitar la detección de aquellos estímulos que supongan una amenaza directa, como la expresión de ira, siendo esta distinción clave para entender en qué condiciones se detecta más eficazmente la expresión de ira respecto a otro tipo de expresiones.

The subject of the study is the linguistic resources of introducing a new object into the information (mass media) field. The object of the research is the process of interaction of the (mass media) author and the reader of the text and the linguistic specifics of this process. The author consider in detail such aspects of the topic as the interaction of the implicature and presuppositive information of the text with the political and historical situation. The research material was the discourse of military mass media, especially the use by these mass media of special linguistic means when introducing unprecedented phenomena and newly appeared objects. The main conclusions of the study are the formulation of ways and forms of introducing the new objects through the well-known in the discourse of military journalism. A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the consideration of an object into the information field on the example of two diverse objects, the semiotization of which in both cases involves an appeal to a common apperceptive base, but using different vectors. The novelty of the research lies in the linguistic analysis of the means used in military mass media, the target audience of which are, first of all, military personnel, which affects the compositional and argumentative structure of the text covering a fundamentally new object or phenomenon.

Authors: Livina Nkeiruka Emodi , Otagburuagu Emeka
Published: April 2022

This study was aimed at analyzing lexical metaphors identified in proverbs Achebe’s two novels: Things Fall Apart and A Man of the People. Objectives of this study were to identify these lexical metaphors from Achebe’s novels, discuss their meanings, functions, and ideolological implications in the novels under study. To achieve these objectives, the study was anchored on Systemic Functional Grammar, a social semiotic theory to highlight the signifier - signified relationship of these lexical metaphors and their ideological implications of Igbo people. The lexical metaphors are identified and their meanings discussed as represented in the novels. The functions are exemplified and marked as positive and negative. Positive behaviours are upheld because they help in nation building while negative functions help to shape attitude and effect behaviours. Functions and Ideologies identified include indispensability of palm oil, struggle for survival through hard work, belief in ‘chukwu’ who determines success and destinies of individuals, belief in reincarnation, peaceful coexistence, strength for procreation, strive for success and shun arrogance, anti imperialism, any child whose mother died at childbirth is an evil child, political propaganda, ineffective leadership, do and die rivalry of politicians, materialistic attitude of rural prospective father- in-law that could lead to forced marriage, and given picture of how one looks like. The implication of the themes and ideologies realized from the two books shows that in Things Fall Apart lexical metaphors are used as ethical and ideological indicators while in A Man of the People they are used to gain social advantage, cover evil doings and justify perversities.
Pragmalinguistic Problems Encountered in Rendering some Qur’ānic Satirical Expressions into English, with Special Reference to Surrat Al-Masad: A Comparative Study

The present study aims at investigating pragmalinguistic problems encountered in rendering Qur’ānic satirical expressions into English, with special reference to Surrat Al-Masad, that is in English translations of Abdel-Haleem, Khan, and Mohammed Taj Al-Din Al-Hilai and Pickthall. Also, the study aims at exploring how the three translators deal with these problems and constraints in their renderings. The three renditions of Qur’ānic satirical expressions from Surrat Al-Masad were purposively selected and analyzed. Various pragmalinguistic problems and pragmatics losses in the three translations explored by the two researchers were found. The study reveals that there are some pragmalinguistic problems in the translation of the meaning of Qur’ānic satirical expressions into English in Surrat Al-Masad rendered by Abdel-Haleem, Khan and Mohammed Taj Al-Din Al-Hilai and Pickthall. Moreover, the types of pragmalinguistic and pragmatics losses problems are attributed to lack of knowledge of contexts for example context of situation by some translators such as Pickthall. The study also aims at identifying the translation strategies adopted by the three translators in rendering Qur’ānic satirical expressions into English, in Surrat Al-Masad. The study also recommends that translators of the Holy Quran must adopt footnotes, transliteration, and other translation strategies to avoid a probable pragmatic loss and semantic loss of the intended meaning of the Holy Quran in general and rhetorical tropes such as satire in particular.

Background

Several theories in autism posit that common aspects of the autism phenotype may be manifestations of an underlying differentiation in predictive abilities. The present study investigates this hypothesis in the context of strategic decision making in autistic participants compared to a control group.

Method

Autistic individuals (43 adults, 35 male) and a comparison group (42 adults, 35 male) of age and gender matched individuals, played a modified version of the prisoner’s dilemma (PD) task where they were asked, if capable, to predict their opponents’ move. The predictive performance of the two groups was assessed.

Results

Overall, participants in the autism group had a significantly lower number of correct predictions. Moreover, autistic participants stated, significantly more frequently than the comparison group, that they were unable to make a prediction. When attempting a prediction however, the success ratio did not differ between the two groups.

Conclusions

These findings indicate that there is a difference in prediction performance between the two groups. Although our task design does not allow us to identify whether this difference is due to difficulty to form a prediction or a reluctance in registering one, these findings could justify a role for prediction in strategic decision making during the PD task.

Rambutan is a delicious tropical fruit that contains various components that are beneficial for health. Damage to the fruit’s skin often causes a decrease in consumer interest. Therefore, fresh-cut rambutan is preferred over whole fruit. A decrease in the quality of fresh-cut rambutan due to cold storage was observed. This study aims to determine changes in the characteristics of fresh-cut rambutan during cold storage. Whole fruit controls were prepared to observe deterioration during storage. The study used a completely randomized design with three replications. Storage time of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days to determine the water content, acidity, total dissolved solids, vitamin C contents, and micrograph of fresh-cut rambutan fruit with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The conclusion is cold storage treatment has an effect on the characteristics of moisture content, degree of acidity, and vitamin C of fresh-cut rambutan fruit. While the total dissolved solid has no effect on the characteristics of fresh-cut rambutan. The decrease in the characteristics of fresh-cut rambutan was sharper than that of intact fruit starting on day 6.

The experiment was carried out at the “Horticulture Farm” of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from November 2019 to March 2020 to study the influence of phosphorus fertilization and seed rates on yield components and yield of black cumin. The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Four levels of phosphorus viz., P0= control, P1= 35 P kgha-1, P2= 40 P kgha-1 and P3= 45 P kgha-1and Factor B: Three seed rates viz., R1= 8 kg seeds ha-1, R2= 10 kg seeds ha-1and R3= 12 kg seeds ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were recorded on growth, yield components and yield of black cumin and significant variation was observed for most of the studied characters. Growth related data was maximum on P3 (45 P kgha-1) treatment but in case of seed yield, P2 (40 P kgha-1) treatment showed the best result. In case of growth characters, R1 (8 kg seeds ha-1) treatment revealed the best result but in case of seed yield, R2 (10 kg seeds ha-1) treatment showed the best result. The highest seed yield (1.27 t ha-1) was obtained from P2R2 (40 P kgha-1+ 10 kg seeds ha-1) treatment combination. On the other hand, the lowest seed yield (0.94 t ha-1) was obtained from of P0R3 (control + 12 kg seeds ha-1) treatment combination. So, it was revealed that the P2R2 treatment combination appeared to be best for achieving the higher growth and seed yield of black cumin.
