Trossamfunn under lupen: Hvordan slipper journalistene gjennom nåløyet?
Authors: Strømme Espen Sørmo
Published: November 2022

How do Norwegian journalists operate when investigating religious communities? Does their own faith, or lack of thereof, affect the way they treat the congregations, or is it simply a question of knowledge? This study shows that investigative journalists in Norway primarily use two sets of tools when investigating religious communities. The first is structural investigations, focusing on economics and formal documentation, the latter is about meeting the people in the congregations. Journalists point to knowledge of the Bible as important for getting access to the sources and building trust. The study looks at the coverage of religion based on the SKUP (a Norwegian investigative journalism network) reports about investigative journalism in Norway between 1991 and 2020. It also raises the question whether the journalists lose integrity when flagging their own belief while covering religion. According to the journalists themselves, they do not.
Evolusjonsbiologi som teologisk og filosofisk prosjekt
Authors: Alfsvåg Knut
Published: November 2022

Both modern evolutionary biology and its critics, the ID movement and the young earth-creationists, work from the presuppositions of mechanistic world view, where the premodern interest in form and inherent teleology is replaced by a one-sided focus on external causality. Darwin rejects Paley’s theological interpretation of the mechanistic world view, and the article argues that this rejection is relevant also in relation to the ID movement’s resurrection of Paley’s perspective. However, the mechanistic world view is philosophically problematic both in its theological and materialist instantiations and should be replaced by an approach that along the lines of the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle considers the world’s intelligibility as basic also in the context of evolutionary biology and philosophy of science.
Nyhetshistorier om dødshjelp: En analyse av personfokuserte nyheter om eutanasi i norske medier
Authors: Dahlstrøm Hilde Kristin
Published: November 2022

This article presents a textual analysis of how Norwegian news media report on euthanasia in their feature stories from 2009 to 2020. 86 different news stories with a personal history on euthanasia are identified. The analysis shows that these stories promote a positive attitude towards legalizing euthanasia, and that they highlight autonomy, freedom and independence as core elements of human dignity. The stories have an individualistic focus, consistently downplaying the perspective of the wider community and contributing to a legitimization discourse.

21. századi készségek fejlesztése oktatás esettanulmányokkal
Authors: Bereczky Klára
Published: November 2022

A munka világában nem az osztályteremre leegyszerűsített, egy tudományterületet érintő problémák a jellemzőek, hanem a komplex, több területen átívelő, sokszor információhiányos problémák megoldása fordul elő nagyobb számban. Az esettanulmányokra épülő oktatási módszer az ilyen típusú, iskolában nem tanított, széleskörű ismereteket igénylő, nehezen körülhatárolható problémák megoldásának gyakoroltatása céljából az Egyesült Államokból terjedt el (Ábrahám et al.; 2021; Garvin, 2003). A problémamegoldási készségek fontosságát a munkaerőpiac kihívásainak történő megfelelés érdekében számos tanulmány megerősíti (Ábrahám et al.; 2021; Dörner–Funke, 2017; World Economic Forum, 2020). Annak érdekében, hogy a munka világára gyakorlati készségekkel vértezzük fel hallgatóinkat, a Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetem Pénzügyi és Számviteli Karán első alkalommal hirdettünk Problémamegoldási készségfejlesztés kurzust angol nyelven alapképzéses hallgatóknak. A kurzus célja kettős; a problémamegoldási készségfejlesztés és a már magas szintű nyelvtudással rendelkező hallgatók idegen nyelvi készségeinek továbbfejlesztése egyaránt fontos. A készségfejlesztéshez alkalmazott esetmódszer lehetővé teszi a hallgatóknak valós életben felmerült vállalati helyzetek tanulmányozását összetett, nyitott végű problémák megoldása céljából (Burke et al., 2013). A cikk áttekinti a módszer elméleti hátterét, a kurzus szerkezetét, a hallgatói teljesítmény mérésének lehetőségeit, valamint az első kurzus tanulságait.
A nyelvészek felelőssége a jó vállalati márkanév meghatározásában
Authors: Mátyás Judit
Published: November 2022

A vállalati marketingkommunikáció sikerességében nagy szerepe van a nyelvészeknek. A marketingkommunikációs mix négy eleme (reklám, Public Relations, Sales Promotion, személyes eladás) közül a reklám, a reklámüzenet nyelvileg igényes megformálásakor a marketing segítségül hívhatja a nyelvészek szakértelmét. A jó, a találó, a piaci célcsoportot megszólító üzenet az STP-stratégia (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning), a stratégiai marketing fontos része. A pozicionálás értelmében a fogyasztókat olyan célirányos üzenetekkel kell megszólítani, amelyekre emlékeznek, s amelyek segítségével a vállalat kifejezésre juttatja, hogy miért az ő termékét válassza a fogyasztó, az milyen tekintetben jobb, minőségibb és nyújt több előnyt a piaci versenytársak termékeihez képest. A nyelvészek szerepe fontos a megfelelő márkanév kiválasztásában is. A jó márkanév könnyen megjegyezhető, egyszerű, kellemes asszociációkat kelt. A márkanév segítségével azonosítható be a termék, annak minőségét, árát, élettartamát és a fogyasztó számára fontos egyéb tulajdonságait tekintve. A reklámnyelv jellegzetességeiről számos szekunder forrás, kutatási eredmény áll rendelkezésre, de a márkanév esetében a nyelvészek szerepéről már kevesebb szó esik, pedig a jó márkanév meghatározásában is fontos, a sikeres vállalati marketing tevékenységet meghatározó szerepük van a nyelvészeknek. A tanulmányban arra törekszem, hogy bemutassam a nyelvészek és nyelvészet fontos szerepét a sikeres vállalati marketingkommunikáció megvalósításában, a jó márkanév kiválasztásában.

Published: November 2022

A státusz az orvosi dokumentációnak az a része, amely a beteg felvételekor elvégzett fizikális vizsgálat eredményeit rögzíti. A leírás tükrözi a vizsgálat egyes lépéseinek megszabott rendjét (megtekintés, tapintás, kopogtatás, hallgatózás), ezért állandósult sorrendiség és konvencionalizált minták, ismétlődő kifejezések jellemzik. Ebben a tekintetben a kórboncolási jegyzőkönyv műfajával mutat rokonságot. Vizsgálatunk során a Semmelweis Egyetem klinikáin gyűjtött 82 anonimizált zárójelentés státuszrészeit emeltük ki, így összesen 27211 szövegszó terjedelmű státuszleírás terminológiai és szövegtipológiai elemzését végeztük el. A státuszokat tartalmazó zárójelentések 10 különböző szakorvosi területen keletkeztek. Tanulmányunkban az erre a műfajra jellemző anatómiai nevek, állapotok, kórképek terminológiai jellemzőit mutatjuk be (magyar vagy latin névhasználat, betűszók, rövidítések), a különböző észleletek leírásának jellegzetességeit negatív és kóros lelet esetén (egyes szervekre jellemző színek, tapintásérzetek, hanghatások), továbbá a státuszokban előforduló kifejezések terminologizáltsági fokát vizsgáljuk. Szoftveres elemzéssel gyakorisági, konkordancia- és statisztikai vizsgálatot végeztünk, amelynek eredményeképpen kiemeljük e műfaj jellegzetes mintázatait, szaknyelvi frazémáit.

Background: Asthma is associated not only with lower health-related quality of life (HRQL) but also with psychological health and insomnia. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between HRQL, asthma symptoms, psychological status and insomnia in adults from three Nordic countries.

Methods: This study comprised 2,270 subjects aged 29–55 from Sweden, Iceland and Norway. HRQL was measured with the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The physical (PCS) and mental health (MCS) component scores were calculated with higher values, indicating better health status. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Insomnia was assessed with the Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire. An asthma score consisting of a sum of the positive answers to five respiratory symptoms was used in the analysis. Spirometry and allergy tests were also performed.

Results: High HADS and sleep disturbance scores were both related to a low PCS and MCS, respectively, after adjusting for confounders. High age and high body mass index (BMI) were associated with low scores on the PCS, whilst the opposite was found for the MCS. A higher asthma score was related to a low PCS. An interaction between the HADS and the asthma symptom score was observed for the PCS (P = 0.0002), where associations between psychological status and the PCS were more pronounced for individuals with more symptoms than for individuals without symptoms.

Conclusions: In this study, we found that HRQL of life was independently related to the HADS, insomnia and asthma symptoms. Further prospective studies to identify the most efficient target for intervention in order to improve asthma control are needed.

Trip-based Modal Shift Behaviour of Mode Users along the Proposed Extension Metro Corridor in Chennai (India)
Authors: D. Siddi Ramulu
Published: November 2022

Object of this study is to predict the ‘Probability of Shift’ to the proposed metro corridor from two-wheeler, car, bus and suburban rail in Chennai. To achieve this, a Stated Preference survey questionnaire was prepared and survey was conducted among two-wheeler users; car users; bus users and suburban rail users through face-to-face interview method. The collected SP data were coded, analysed and mode-wise/ trip-based binary logit models were developed using Statistical Software Tools (SST) software. From the developed models, it is observed that irrespective of mode & trip purposes, the choice of metro is fully driven by the proposed metro fare. From the predicted Probability of Shift, it is observed that car users are more willing to switch to metro as well as relatively price sensitive when comparing with other mode users.

Published: November 2022

A Divulgação Científica vem se modificando ao longo do tempo, assim como a própria ciência e o seu ensino. Ela passou a ser produzida e pensada, inclusive, como um instrumento educativo, cujo papel também é o de contribuir e criar condições para uma formação mais crítica de diferentes sujeitos em relação à ciência. Entretanto, nem sempre ocorrem articulações entre os referenciais característicos do ensino de ciências e a própria divulgação científica, suas ações e materiais. Dessa forma, neste trabalho, analisa-se segmentos de um livro de divulgação científica acerca da história da Tabela Periódica com o intuito de exemplificar e/ou contraexemplificar aspectos relativos à Natureza da Ciência. Enfatiza-se, que as considerações tecidas podem auxiliar educadores do ensino de ciências a promoverem discussões sobre a ciência, a partir do resgate histórico feito na obra, como aquelas que dizem respeito a coletividade da ciência, as suas disputas teóricas, a sua subjetividade, a importâncias de se reconhecer a ciência em seus contextos histórico, cultural, social, entre outros.

Published: November 2022

Nos últimos anos, a produção acadêmica relacionada ao tema de livros didáticos de Matemática cresceu e vem se consolidando. O International Conference on Mathematics Textbook Research and Development (ICMT) é um evento específico, destinado a essa temática. Com o objetivo de mapear as perspectivas e possibilidades apresentadas na terceira edição do ICMT, especificamente aquelas sobre a análise de livros didáticos de Matemática, assumimos a abordagem qualitativa com a metodologia do tipo mapeamento. Assim, identificamos três perspectivas não disjuntas: quem são os sujeitos que analisam os livros didáticos; como esses livros são analisados; e o que é analisado neles. Como resultado, evidenciamos que a análise desses materiais possibilita revelar lacunas entre as prescrições oficiais e o que é proposto pelos autores de livros didáticos, além de salientar aspectos relacionados aos conteúdos e a procedimentos alusivos ao ensino e à aprendizagem da Matemática, no âmbito (ou não) das tendências em Educação Matemática

“SILK SHADOWS SPEAK:” PERFORMING THE VOICES OF CHILDREN THROUGH WAYANG KULIT AND HERITAGE FOLKTALES
Authors: Backer Mumtaz
Published: November 2022

There is extensive literature on drama and theatre in education regarding the role, value and benefits of performative tools to enhance learning, stimulating creativity and cognitive of children. However, while there is a substantial and well-evidenced body of literature in this area, there are few studies that present the voices of those directly affected by these claims; the children involved as participants in these studies or research projects, especially in Malaysia. This article deals with a fundamental research grant funded by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia carried out from January 2018 until December 2019. The research project involves six primary schools in the northern states of Malaysia; Penang, Kedah and Perlis. “Silk Shadows Speak” is an action research project that explores Wayang Kulit (shadow play) as a performative art in an attempt to portray that it is able to engage children with heritage folktales in critical and creative ways. The importance of folktales as an integral element of a child’s holistic development is an area that has received significant attention within the academic world (Kaveny, 2015; Normaliza, 2014; Nurul Fiza & Nor Azan, 2010; Zipes, 1997). The concern of the project was finding children’s voices; their thoughts and reactions towards heritage folktales in their everyday lives. The research project aimed at children’s participation in appropriating Wayang Kulit to make and communicate meaning through storytelling, interpretation and creation of characters, puppetry, sounds, textures and gestures.

Seni kaligrafi Arab atau seni khat adalah khazanah tertua di dunia yang dimiliki oleh umat Islam. Sejarah telah membuktikan perkembangannya seiring dengan perkembangan tamadun Islam yang mempunyai kedudukan tinggi dan mulia berikutan hubung kaitnya dengan ayat al-Quran. Masyarakat Islam di Sabah masih kurang mengetahui jenis-jenis seni kaligrafi Arab yang menghiasi masjid-masjid di negeri ini. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti jenis-jenis kaligrafi Arab yang menghiasi masjid-masjid daerah di Sabah. Kajian lapangan dijalankan seperti mengunjungi masjid-masjid dan mengambil gambar seni kaligrafi Arab menggunakan kamera yang kemudiannya dianalisis secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Sebanyak 17 buah masjid daerah yang telah dikaji. Antara jenis-jenis kaligrafi atau khat utama yang dikenal pasti dalam masjid-masjid tersebut ialah Khat Thuluth (94.1 peratus), Khat Nasakh (5.8 peratus), Khat Dīwānī (5.8%) dan Khat Kūfī (5.8 peratus). Selain itu, terdapat juga khat tambahan seperti khat Ruq‘ah/Riq‘ah dan Khat Fārisī. Hasil kajian ini berjaya mencapai objektif yang dinyatakan dan pengetahuan jenis-jenis kaligrafi yang diperoleh dapat memberikan kefahaman yang lebih mendalam kepada masyarakat Islam di Sabah.

 

Arabic calligraphy or khat is the oldest treasure in the Muslim world. History has proven its development in line with the rise of noble Islamic civilization due to its relationship with the verses of the Quran. However, there is a lack of awareness in the Muslim community of Sabah regarding the types of Arabic calligraphy that adorn the mosques in the state. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of Arabic calligraphy in selected regional mosques in Sabah. Among the field studies that were carried out include observing Arabic calligraphy in the selected mosques and recording them in the form of photographs which were later analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. A total of 17 regional mosques have been observed for the study. Among the main types of Arabic calligraphy or khat identified in these mosques were Khat Thuluth (94.1 per cent), Khat Nasakh (5.8 per cent), Khat Dīwānī (5.8 per cent) and Khat Kūfī (5.8 per cent). Furthermore, there are also additional calligraphy types such as Khat Ruq‘ah/Riq‘ah and Khat Fārisī. The outcome of this study succeeded in achieving the stated objective, hence, the knowledge regarding the types of calligraphy observed can provide a deeper understanding of khat to the Muslim community in Sabah.

Authors: Ick Ellyrenzine Linsap  , Low Kok On
Published: November 2022

Sebahagian kecil daripada etnik Tobilung yang menetap di daerah Kota Belud, Sabah masih pegang kepada kepercayaan tradisional yang diwarisi secara turun-temurun. Mereka percaya kepada pelbagai jenis semangat baik dan jahat. Salah satu semangat baik yang dipercayai mereka ialah komburongo, iaitu subjek kajian ini. Permasalahan yang timbul adalah komburongo mempunyai tiga identiti yang berbeza, iaitu sebagai sejenis tumbuhan, sebagai alat ritual dan sebagai semangat pembantu. Tanpa memahami ketiga-tiga identiti ini, maka seseorang tidak memahami kaitan antara ketiga-tiganya. Oleh itu, tulisan ini memberi tumpuan menganalisis ketiga-tiga identiti komburongo yang berkait dengan kepercayaan turun-temurun etnik Dusun Tobilung. Bagi mengumpul data kajian, kerja lapangan telah dijalankan di enam buah kampung yang didiami oleh etnik Dusun Tobilung. Kajian ini berasaskan prinsip grounded theory. Data kajian yang berkait dengan kepercayaan etnik Tobilung terhadap komburongo dianalisis secara interprestasi dan disokong oleh bahan kajian yang lepas. Hasil analisis mendapati komburongo mempunyai tiga identiti yang berbeza namun saling berkait, iaitu sebagai sejenis tumbuhan (jerangau), alat ritual dan semangat pembantu. Hasil analisis juga mendapati komburongo memainkan pelbagai fungsi dalam kepercayaan etnik Dusun Tobilung. Mereka memohon bantuan daripada semangat komburongo untuk menyelesaikan masalah kerohanian dan fizikal. Kajian ini penting bagi menonjolkan identiti komburongo dan juga kaitannya dengan kepercayaan turun-temurun etnik Tobilung.

 

A minority of the Tobilung ethnic group residing in the Kota Belud district of Sabah still adhere to their traditional beliefs, which were passed down from one generation to another. They believed in various benevolent and malevolent spirits. One of the benevolent spirits is komburongo. The issue identified here is the komburongo has three different identities, that is first, it is a kind of plant, second, a ritual tool and, third a malevolentspirit. Without knowing all these identities, one does not know the connection between them. Hence this article focuses on the analysis of these three identities of komburongo based on the traditional beliefs of the Tobilung people. To collect data, field trips have been conducted in six Tobilung villages. This study is based on the grounded theory. Data related to the beliefs in komburongo were analyzed based on interpretation and supported by the study of the past. In the analysis, the researchers found that komburongo has three identities, first, it is a plant (Acorus Calamus); second a ritual tool and third, a benevolent spirit. Besides, this study also found that there are various functions of komburongo in the beliefs system of the Tobilung. They relied on the help of komburongo for various spiritual and health problems. This study is deemed important because it highlighted the three different identities of komburongo and its relation to the traditional beliefs system of the Tobilung.

These experiments are conducted in a practical studio and apply physical test based on standard experiments. This study also discusses the potential of organic wastes such as seashells to be applied in clay bodies to produce ceramics. The researcher will conduct experiment on the sample to see the rate of porosity and strength after bisque firing 900℃ and 1000℃. The results found that a mixture of seashell powder by 10 per cent was able to improve the physical properties after firing at a temperature of 1000℃. The FC 3 sample had reached the highest strength on the strength test. Therefore, it is hoped that this study can be a guide for ceramic makers to produce clay formulations with a mixture of seashell powder that has the potential to increase the physical strength of ceramics while applying sustainability elements to protect the environment through the concept of waste recycling

Authors: Awang Hashim , Ismail Hashim
Published: November 2022

Kepengarangan Melayu menampilkan ciri jati diri tertentu yang dapat diikuti daripada sumber-sumber teks tradisional Melayu. Kajian yang dikemukakan sebelum ini mendapati terdapat kaedah kepengarangan yang membentuk pola dan konsep kepengarangan Melayu. Misalnya, Hashim Awang (1989) dan Muhammad Haji Salleh (1991) mengemukakan pendekatan dalam menganalisis kepengarangan Melayu. Muhammad Haji Salleh mengemukakan konsep Puitika Melayu, sebaliknya Hashim Awang mengemukakan pendekatan Pengkaedahan Melayu. Kedua-dua pendekatan didapati penting bagi mengenal pasti minda pengarang Melayu. Sebagai kajian kes, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan menganalisis ciri jati diri kepengarangan Melayu di dalam Sulalat al-Salatin melalui bentuk dan puitika minda pengarang Melayu dalam melestarikan hubungan antar-budaya. Penemuan kajian turut menjawab bagaimana jati diri minda pengarang Melayu dalam menggambarkan imej antar-budaya. Adakah interaksi antar-budaya dilaksanakan atas dasar fungsional atau kepentingan hubungan kebudayaan atau kemungkinan lain yang mampu dianalisis sebagai satu bentuk amalan kepengarangan? Dengan itu juga, kajian ini turut memfokuskan hubungan antar-budaya serumpun yang dilestarikan melalui teks Sulalat al-Salatin.
Sejarah Hubungan Masyarakat Melayu dan Bugis Sebagai Asas Pembinaan Naratif dalam Novel Sasterawan Negara Arena Wati
Authors: Ab. Rahman Norhayati
Published: November 2022

Hubungan serumpun antara masyarakat Melayu dan Bugis telah berlangsung semenjak kurun ke-18 seperti yang dipaparkan dalam teks Salasilah Melayu dan Bugis serta Tuhfat al-Nafis karya Raja Ali Haji. Teks-teks ini telah memerihal peranan Bugis dalam pergelutan politik Melayu pada ketika itu. Di samping itu, ikatan perkahwinan dan penglibatan serta kedudukan dalam politik khususnya telah membawa kepada proses sosialisasi dan asimilasi yang berterusan antara Melayu-Bugis sehingga kini. Selain berdasarkan penceritaan dalam teks-teks sastera Melayu tradisional yang banyak memaparkan tentang hubungan dua hala tersebut, lakaran tersebut juga dijadikan sebagai asas pembinaan naratif dalam novel-novel Sasterawan Negara Arena Wati. Justeru, tulisan ini akan membincangkan dan memperlihatkan bagaimana dan sejauh manakah hubungan serumpun antara dua bangsa ini diangkat dalam naratif garapan Sasterawan Negara Arena Wati melalui novel-novelnya Sandera (1971), Sudara (1994), Warna Sukma Usia Muda (2005) dan Rindu Aroma Padi Bunting (2012). Selain itu, tulisan ini juga akan menampilkan impak hubungan tersebut ke atas situasi hubungan semasa antara Malaysia dan Indonesia pada hari ini.

Published: November 2022

Text detection in natural scenes has been a significant and active research subject in computer vision and document analysis because of its wide range of applications as evidenced by the emergence of the Robust Reading Competition. One of the algorithms which has good text detection performance in the said competition is the Character Region Awareness for Text Detection (CRAFT). Employing the ICDAR 2013 dataset, this study investigates the impact of automatic image classification and blind deconvolution as image pre-processing steps to further enhance the text detection performance of CRAFT. The proposed technique automatically classifies the scene images into two categories, blurry and non-blurry, by utilizing of a Laplacian operator with 100 as threshold. Prior to applying the CRAFT algorithm, images that are categorized as blurry are further pre-processed using blind deconvolution to reduce the blur. The results revealed that the proposed method significantly enhanced the detection performance of CRAFT, as demonstrated by its IoU h-mean of 94.47% compared to the original 91.42% h-mean of CRAFT and this even outperformed the top-ranked SenseTime, whose h-mean is 93.62%.

Authors: Rahman Md. Sharifur , Prasad Girijesh
Published: November 2022

Alzheimer's patients gradually lose their ability to think, behave, and interact with others. Medical history, laboratory tests, daily activities, and personality changes can all be used to diagnose the disorder. A series of time-consuming and expensive tests are used to diagnose the illness. The most effective way to identify Alzheimer's disease is using a Random-forest classifier in this study, along with various other Machine Learning techniques. The main goal of this study is to fine-tune the classifier to detect illness with fewer tests while maintaining a reasonable disease discovery accuracy. We successfully identified the condition in almost 94% of cases using four of the thirty frequently utilized indicators.
The Rise of Racism and Xenophobia During the COVID-19 Pandemic as an Expression of Their Centuries-Old History – A Sociological and Security Aspect
Authors: Hasković Edita
Published: November 2022

Extremely complex crisis that occurred after the proclamation of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, contributed to the escalation of racism and xenophobia in the international arena. Their current rise must be observed from the perspective of the historically established pattern of connecting minorities, racial groups and certain communities with infectious diseases, which has made racist and xenophobic approaches and narratives indispensable constituents of responses to them. The stigma of the disease, as history confirms, is a permanent companion to the outbreak of infectious diseases, thus the coronavirus pandemic was no exception.

The radicalization of public discourse through nativism, hatred and fear during the current health crisis, with the significant support of some mainstream media, was in the forefront contributed to by neo-nationalist forces. They exploited the insecurity and uncertainty generated by the pandemic to project fear of the other and different with their obligatory emanation as potential threats.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic contributed primarily to the reaffirmation of racism and xenophobia against the Chinese and Asians, which was supported by the coronavirus provenance, it undoubtedly paved the way for a general racist and xenophobic discourse.
