The sociopragmatic study of speech acts in Go’et Ira in the We’e Mbaru cultural rite
Authors: Daar Gabriel Fredi
Published: June 2023

We’e Mbaru is a cultural rite of entering a new house in the Manggarai speech community speaking the Pasat-Ruis dialect in Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Ira is one of the phases in this cultural tradition. At this stage, a Tongka (spokesperson) and participant representatives conduct cultural interactions using go’et (expression or proverb). This study aimed to analyze the speech acts of go’et in the Ira phase. The study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with seven key informants, taken purposively with the main criteria of having adequate knowledge of Manggarai culture, good ability to use go’et, and experience as a Tongka. The results showed that the speech acts of go’et in the Ira phase included representative and directive acts (illocutionary acts). The study also found that the expressive speech act of gratitude, prayers, and hopes, and the speech act of giving financial support are categorized as perlocutionary speech acts. The use of go’et by a Tongka and participant representatives is considered a language politeness strategy effective for refining the language used, especially for avoiding face-threatening acts. Tongka and participant representatives need to understand the context and situation of the speech so that the choice of go’et is appropriate and conveyed judiciously.

Authors: Bakoko Rahmah , Waluyo Budi , Songkhai Kritsadee
Published: June 2023

A plethora of studies has examined EFL learners’ attitudes towards and perceptions of English pronunciation, yet little has been discussed about the influence of religious backgrounds on one’s pronunciation abilities, especially in the Thai context. This study aims to extend the research area by studying Buddhist and Muslim EFL learners’ attitudes and perspectives about their English pronunciation abilities in Thailand. Using a mixed-method design, it collected survey data from 60 undergraduate students (50% Buddhist, 50% Muslim) at a university in south Thailand. An English pronunciation test was conducted to gather data on the students’ English pronunciation performances. The quantitative findings revealed that Buddhist and Muslim Thai EFL learners possessed moderate levels of attitudes towards their English pronunciation and perceived indirect influences of their religion on their English pronunciation. Although the learners’ attitudes and perceptions were connected, they were not significant predictors of their actual English pronunciation. Religion and gender had no direct impact on the learners’ attitudes; however, their frequent religious practices have led to the awareness that students from some religious backgrounds can have an advantage in pronouncing some English sounds, letters, or words over their friends with a different religion. The results of this research also suggest that there is much more to be learned about the effects and contributions of religious backgrounds on learners’ English pronunciation among learners.

Published: June 2023

To capture learners’ interest in reading and help them understand the content of their reading, it is important to write at a level that aligns with their reading abilities. This will motivate learners to read and comprehend the material. A CEFR-aligned textbook is a valuable tool for improving the English language skills of lower secondary learners in English Language classrooms. Therefore, it is significant to assess learners’ reading competence in text comprehension using a reading text from a CEFR-aligned textbook. These assessments were conducted based on a narrative text from the CEFR-aligned textbook using two different techniques: miscue analysis and retelling. The sample comprised 20 ‘C’ grade learners randomly selected from Malaysian lower secondary schools. The data on miscues were analysed quantitatively, following Goodman, Watson, and Burke’s In-Depth Procedure (2005). The quality of retelling was evaluated based on the criteria set by Irwin and Mitchell’s (1983) 5-point scoring method. The findings revealed that all 20 learners achieved the target descriptor scale B1, indicating that they can read simple texts on topics relevant to their field and interests with sufficient comprehension. This study implies that CEFR-aligned reading texts are appropriate for lower secondary learners to read and understand. Furthermore, miscue analysis and retelling can effectively monitor learners’ reading comprehension levels and help enhance reading skills among low intermediate-level learners. Based on learners’ reading habits that require assistance, teachers can plan upcoming reading lessons.

Published: June 2023

The analysis of pollen grains found in honey, known as melissopalynology, reveals pertinent details about the pollen and nectar sources in a location where bees produce honey, allowing researchers to identify the honey’s geographical and botanical origins. To determine the significant source plants in the area, the present analysis is conducted on five samples of winter honey that were collected from Prayagraj’s urban localities (Dahi, Baksi, Sirsa, Soraon, and Phoolpur). The methodology recommended by the International Commission of Bee Botany (ICBB) was followed in this study. Analysis of 5 honey samples recorded a diversity of 31 pollen types and one fungal spore type. The majority of pollen grains recovered from honey samples belong to entomophilous taxa (66%), 25% of the pollen is from anemophilous taxa, and 9% from amphiphilous taxa. Four honey samples (S1, S2, S3, and S5) were found to be unifloral while the remaining samples (S4) were multi-floral. The field mustard i.e. Brassica campestris L. was the predominant pollen type. The secondary frequency class contained three different pollen types, while the minor and significant minor frequency classes contained 14 and 30, respectively. With respect to the frequency of occurrence of pollen types in honey samples, field mustard was found to be a very common pollen type as they were recovered from more than 50% of the collected honey samples. The various type of pollen and spores were also observed in collected honey samples.

Published: June 2023

Zilla spinosa L. is a medicinal plant widely used in traditional Algerian phytotherapy against urinary lithiasis. The present study aims to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of different extracts from the aerial part of this plant. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was examined by two different methods, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC). The anti-inflammatory activity of Z. spinosa was determined by the protein denaturation method. The qualitative phytochemical screening shows the presence of the majority of secondary metabolites in the aerial parts except anthraquinones and steroids, on the other hand, the root is characterized by the absence of several metabolites except tannins and coumarins.The ethyl acetate fraction displayed the highest antioxidant capacity (IC50 value: 10.47±0.18 μg/mL in DPPH assay, and A0.50 value: 40.89 ± 0.86 μg/mL in CUPRAC). The percentage of inhibition of BSA denaturation (0.2%) is proportional to the concentration of the different plant extracts, where the highest percentage was recorded in the concentrations of ethyl acetate 500; 250 μg/mL compared to Diclofenac (75 mg/3 mL), in contrast to the aqueous extract which gave non-significant results compared to the standards (p≥5℅). In comparison to the standards used in this study, the ethyl acetate extract demonstrated better DPPH inhibitory activity, while all organic extracts demonstrated lower CUPRAC inhibitory activity but higher anti-inflammatory activity.

Linguagem e economia política em ativismos no twitter sobre o uso de ‘linguagem neutra’
Authors: Signorini Inês , Lucena Maria Inêz
Published: June 2023

Nas últimas décadas, os ativismos LGBTQIA+ em todo o mundo têm reivindicado uma linguagem mais inclusiva, criando termos não binários inteiramente novos ou reformulando palavras e construções gramaticais já existentes. No Brasil, tal reivindicação adquiriu recentemente papel relevante na agenda política oficial, tendo sido objeto de ações oficiais de repúdio e indignação, através de projetos de lei que têm buscado proibir o uso institucional dessa linguagem alegando falta de legitimidade linguística, moral e política. O foco deste artigo está na abordagem da questão da linguagem neutra numa rede social, o Twitter, em discussões de natureza metapragmática no desenho estratégico do chamado bolsonarismo algorítmico nas redes sociais. Conforme mostramos, a articulação de discursos contemporâneos sobre economia linguística (GAL; IRVINE, 2000) e ativismo político nas redes sociais (MALY, 2018; 2020; CESARINO, 2019a; 2019b) por brasileiros que se posicionam sobre a adequação e legitimidade do conceito de linguagem neutra se dá graças ao grafocentrismo escolar e de senso comum que legitima a divisão e ordenação de formas e sentidos linguísticos, correlacionando-os à divisão e ordenação dos atores sociais entre aqueles que falam/podem falar porque reproduzem convenções institucionais do “bom uso” da língua e os que só fazem ruído, nos termos de Rancière (1995). A base empírica é constituída de tweets produzidos em 2021-2022 e coletados através de buscas por palavras-chave incluindo a expressão “linguagem neutra”.

Hybrid thematism in the instrumental music of Bright Sheng
Authors: Шо Ц.
Published: June 2023

В статье на примере творчества Брайта Шенга анализируется феномен «гибридного тематизма». В фокусе анализа – два инструментальных цикла: «Семь мелодий, услышанных в Китае» для виолончели соло и «Течение реки» для скрипки соло. В их основе – народные мелодии, записанные композитором в годы его жизни в провинции Цинхай. Ладовые и ритмические особенности китайской музыки трансформируются в этих произведениях с помощью европейской композиторской техники. Автор статьи приходит к выводу, что в «Семи мелодиях, услышанных в Китае» и «Течении реки» обнаруживаются черты «преднамеренной гибридности». Они предопределяются двойственностью национальной идентичности композитора, сохранившего связь с корнями китайской культуры, но сформировавшего свой стиль в рамках европейской традиции.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of "hybrid thematism" using the example of Bright Sheng's creativity. The analysis focuses on two instrumental cycles: "Seven melodies heard in China" for solo cello and "River current" for solo violin. They are based on folk melodies recorded by the composer during his life in Tsinghai province. The fret and rhythmic features of Chinese music are transformed in these works with the help of European compositional techniques. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that in "Seven melodies heard in China" and "The Flow of the river" there are features of "deliberate hybridity". They are predetermined by the duality of the national identity of the composer, who retained his connection with the roots of Chinese culture, but formed his style within the framework of the European tradition.

Biochemistry is dependent upon enzyme catalysts accelerating key reactions. At the origin of life, prebiotic chemistry must have incorporated catalytic reactions. Whilst this would have yielded much needed amplification of certain reaction products, it would come at the possible cost of rapidly depleting the high energy molecules that acted as chemical fuels. Here, we demonstrate a prebiotic phosphate transfer system involving a kinetically stable and thermodynamically activated ATP analogue (imidazole phosphate) and histidyl peptides which function as organocatalytic enzyme analogues. We demonstrate that histidyl peptides catalyse phosphorylations via a phosphorylated histidyl intermediate. We integrate these histidyl catalysed phosphorylations into a complete prebiotic scenario whereby inorganic phosphate is incorporated into organic compounds though physicochemical wet-dry cycles. Our work demonstrates a plausible system for the catalysed production of phosphorylated compounds on the early Earth and how organocatalytic peptides, as enzyme precursors, could have played an important role in this.

The growing demand for room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) for energy applications necessitates the development of an efficient screening platform. In this study, we have successfully developed a fully automated high-throughput RTIL screening platform specifically designed for assessing ionic conductivity. By utilizing the 96-wells of a microtiter plate as individual electrolysis cells, we measured ionic conductivity of 22 different RTILs, encompassing various combinations of cations and anions, and benchmarked the values with existing literature. We also employed the screening platform to investigate the conductivities of RTIL mixtures with a non-aqueous solvent, ethylene glycol (EG). Our results reveal specific combinations of RTILs with EG that result in approximately 200% enhancement in the conductivity values as compared to the pure RTILs. To understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for this enhancement, we developed a theoretical framework that considers factors such as degree of dissociation, viscous forces, and molal volume of the RTIL-EG mixtures. The optimized electrolyte mixture was then employed in the migration-assisted moisture gradient (MAMG) CO2 capture process to study the effects of improved ionic conductivity on the energy efficiency of the process. Notably, the enhanced conductivity of the RTIL-EG mixture led to nearly 50% reduction in energy consumption for capturing CO2. These outcomes highlight the effectiveness of our strategy in screening RTILs and improving existing processes. Moreover, our fully automated high-throughput setup, combined with the developed theoretical framework, provides a comprehensive platform for screening and studying RTIL mixtures with different solvents, enabling their application in various fields.

Aminopolymer-based adsorbents are commonly investigated for CO2 direct air capture (DAC). In the presence of high temperature and O2, which could happen during process upset, oxidative degradation can significantly contribute to limiting the adsorbent lifetime. Here, we demonstrate the use of a portable, benchtop NMR sensor to collect proton relaxometry profiles to track the degradation of a PEI/Al2O3 sample exposed to controlled accelerated oxidation conditions and correlate the extent of oxidation as measured by loss in amine efficiency with T2 (spin-spin) relaxation times. We hypothesize that T2 relaxation accurately tracks oxidative degradation in aminopolymers because of reduced polymer mobility resulting from radical-induced crosslinking that can occur during the oxidation process. The advantage of using NMR relaxometry as a non-destructive technique to probe degradation is demonstrated on a 1-inch square-channel monolith adsorbent exposed to actual DAC service conditions, highlighting the potential for using this technique as a rapid and non-destructive method of probing adsorbent health.

Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) have great potential in energy storage due to their low cost, the abundance of Na, and the potential to deliver high energy and power simultaneously. This paper demonstrates a template-assisted method to induce graphitic nanodomains and micro-mesopores into nitrogen-doped carbons. This study elucidates that these graphitic nanodomains are beneficial for Na+ storage. The obtained As8Mg electrode achieved a reversible capacity of 254 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 and excellent cycling stability of 98.7% capacity retention over 350 cycles. Moreover, the As8Mg-based SIC device achieves high combinations of power/energy densities (52 W kg−1 at 204 Wh kg−1 and 10,456 W kg−1 at 51 Wh kg−1) with outstanding cycle stability (99.7% retention over 600 cycles at 0.2 A g−1). Our findings provide insights into optimizing carbon’s microstructure to boost sodium storage in the pseudo-capacitive mode.
More Than A Room

The design of primary schools in New Zealand has been commonly viewed as basic and typically underperforms for the primary users of the space, the students. The Ministry of Education is continuously developing schools as time and design fads progress; however, the developments made at a classroom level - some of the most influential on students, are typically overlooked.

A range of spatial qualities have been heavily researched, such as colour, comfort, and the integration of nature. However, the way that these individual aspects can meld together into a supportive interior experience is commonly overlooked. The way that different spatial qualities combine into a single interior experience can significantly affect a child’s learning. There is vast room for growth in the knowledge and implication of further design ideas to create a supportive, malleable, user-friendly interior experience.

This research applies a design approach based upon research gathered from the user (teachers and students), allowing the overall problem to be approached from the needs and wants of the primary users, providing an enriched interior experience. Furthermore, the design output should create an opportunity to enhance existing classrooms while providing a design basis for new-built developments that challenge the standardised structure of classroom architecture to give a more modern, holistic approach.
Development of Self-Concept in Multi-Grade 3rd and 4th Classes

Published: June 2023

The assumption that multi-grade learning enhances and sustains positive self-concept is widespread, although neither theory nor empirics have yet allowed for firm conclusions. This paper reports on a representative longitudinal study of multi-grade learning in grades 3 and 4 comparing the development of students' self-concept in reading in multi-grade and single-grade classes, also providing a differentiated analysis of the development at varying performance levels. The results show that self-concept is less stable in multi-grade classes. At the end of grade 3, students' self-concept in multi-grade classes is lower than in single-grade classes, although the average achievement level is higher. This effect is mainly ascribed to low-achieving children; however, all students’ self-concept recovers by the end of grade 4. Regarding students with a very low self-concept, they are found to a comparable extent in both multi-grade and single-grade classes, but the number of these students is low and the affected students change. The data indicates that pedagogical support is needed, especially in grade 3, to mitigate the effects of social comparison. Further analysis should include the quality of multi-grade teaching implemented in the classroom and its effects.

Dado la presión por urbanizar áreas con presencia de suelos salino-sódicos (SSS) alrededor del ex lago de Texcoco, México, es importante encontrar estrategias para arborizarlas. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la respuesta de cinco especies arbóreas; Pinus greggii, P. pseudostrobus, P. ayacahuite, P. leiophylla y como especie de referencia Psidium guajava, establecidas en cepas con un sustrato alternativo (CSA) en SSS. Se realizaron 50 cepas de 1 m de profundidad con 0.60 m de diámetro y se rellenaron con el sustrato alternativo. Se midió el pH, la conductividad eléctrica (CE), la resistencia mecánica, el contenido volumétrico de humedad, el contenido hídrico relativo (CHR) en tejido vegetal y la supervivencia a 280 días. Las CSA presentaron menores valores respecto al testigo (SSS): en pH, 8.99 vs. 9.95; en CE, 2.58 vs. 8.19 dS m-1; en resistencia mecánica, 1.72 vs. 2.53 MPa; y en el contenido volumétrico de humedad, 0.41 vs. 1.06 cm3 cm-3. El CHR aumentó a los 120 días en P. ayacahuite (de 74.7 a 81.5%) y P. leiophylla (75.2 a 77.5%), mientras que en P. guajava disminuyó (92.8 a 75.5%). La supervivencia a los 280 días de P. guajava (70%) superó a la de los pinos (1.67%). Durante el tiempo de evaluación P. guajava se adaptó mejor, mientras que los pinos fueron menos tolerantes. Las CSA podrían ayudar en el establecimiento de especies arbóreas propiciando un entorno saludable a pesar de las condiciones adversas del SSS.
