Social media as a building site of the Spanish-speaking queer diaspora
Authors: Menéndez de la Cuesta Adrián
Published: July 2022

Since Gopinath coined the term ‘queer diaspora’ in 2002, many studies have reconsidered diaspora studies from sexual and gender perspectives. These approaches usually leverage the concept of ‘digital diaspora’, first developed by Brinkerhoff in 2009. This proves the relevance of online spaces for these queer communities. However, several scholars suggest that queer diasporans relate to their culture of origin in rather ambiguous terms. Apparently, estrangement and uprooting are frequent, even if these features would exclude queer individuals from orthodox definitions of diaspora. This calls for a re-contextualization of queer diaspora. The goal is to provide an analytic tool for understanding how founding narratives often conceptualize queer communities under the imagery of diaspora. To support this claim, this article goes back to the reflections on community, nostalgia and futurity by Marcel Proust, Jacquelyn Fields, José Esteban Muñoz, Wen Lui and Lidia García, among others. The viability of this theoretical apparatus is tested on a corpus of tweets. Social media constitutes an exceptional site for the dissemination of LGBT+ content and the subsequent formation of queer communities. The corpus favors literature written in Spanish, but considers the coexistence of other languages, mainly English.
Diasporas in the post-digital age – capitalism + digitalization = dystopia: Sibylle Berg’s novel GRM
Authors: Vollmeyer Johanna
Published: July 2022

Sibylle Berg’s novel GRM: Brainfuck () deals with profound structural changes that are directly linked to the growing digitalization and datafication of our world. Together with a strong neo-liberalism, this has provoked severe grievances, which have in turn led to important migratory movements. Berg lays this situation out thanks to the characters of the novel – most of them are migrants or have a migrant background. They have experienced different kinds of discrimination and social exclusion that hinder their integration into the host society. The frustrated yearning of many migrants for recognition interestingly becomes apparent in the lack of opportunities for self-representation through digital media, which are described as powerful tools that reinforce and (re-)produce stigmatizing discourses. In addition, the novel shows how mass datafication allows the almost complete surveillance of all citizens. Nevertheless, the main characters in the novel try to resist this total control by choosing a different kind of digital diaspora, which means a retreat to an exclusively analogue life – an impossible endeavour.
Social and satisfied? Social uses of mobile phone and subjective wellbeing in later life
Authors: Rosenberg Dennis , Taipale Sakari
Published: July 2022

The current study examined the associations between socio-demographic background and engagement in social uses of mobile phone, and between the engagement in these uses and life satisfaction and health satisfaction in later life through the lens of digital divide and uses and gratifications theories. The data, collected from the retired Internet users (62 and older) residing in seven countries (N = 5713), were analyzed using logistic and linear regression models. The results show that education and age predicted the engagement in social uses in the most consistent way. A number of social uses positively related to both life and health satisfaction. Of the particular uses, e-mailing and instant messaging were positively associated with life and health satisfaction. The results imply that socio-demographic background predicts the engagement in social uses of mobile phone in later life, that the engagement in such uses plays an overall significant role in wellbeing in later life, and that some particular uses play a greater role than others in this regard.
Cenários de práticas na Atenção Primária à Saúde no Sistema Único de Saúde e a neoseletividade induzida pelo “Programa Previne Brasil”
Authors: Magrini Carneiro Mendes Karina , Carnut Leonardo , Dias da Silva Guerra Lucia
Published: July 2022

O “Programa Previne Brasil”, por meio do novo modelo de alocação de recursos da Atenção Primária à Saúde, tem impactos profundos na universalidade do sistema, favorecendo a focalização e a neoseletividade, caracterizadas pela oferta de serviços públicos restritos aos estratos populacionais mais pobres, sendo um risco à sustentabilidade financeira do SUS municipal. Sob a ênfase da mensuração puramente quantitativa de pessoas, vislumbram-se implicações concretas para o SUS enquanto cenário de prática de ensino. Por isto é que este estudo visa refletir sobre os possíveis desafios dos cenários de práticas no SUS à luz da neoseletividade induzida pelo “Programa Previne Brasil” no âmbito da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Do ponto de vista da modalidade textual, este artigo refere-se ao formato ensaístico como um meio de transpor fronteiras culturalmente demarcadas pelo pensamento metódico, conforme descrito por Adorno. Está dividido em seis seções que versam, brevemente, sobre os cenários de prática como elemento central das ações de integração ensino-serviço-comunidade até a agudização dos desafios já existentes no cenário induzido pelo programa. Por fim, apresentam-se os pontos mais centrais pelos quais os cenários já estão passando neste momento.
Rural Non-Farm Enterprises Supporting the Agricultural Sector and their Relative Success in Kiambu County, Kenya
Authors: Mureithi Ann Mugure
Published: July 2022

Rural areas encounter numerous challenges, which include poverty, food insecurity and unemployment. Declining productions in agribusiness plays a critical impact in having more individuals to partake in agricultural non-farm activities in the rural area to support their livelihoods. This study sought to identify the different kinds of rural non-farm enterprises (RNFEs) that support the agricultural sector in Kiambu County and their relative success. Ann epistemology philosophy was adopted. The target population was all non-farm small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kiambu County who have prevailed by supporting agrarian related exercises. This population of RNFEs came from every one of the 12 sub-areas: Gatundu North, Gatundu South, Thika, Juja, Githunguri, Ruiru, Kiambu, Kiambaa, Kabete, Kikuyu, Lari and Limuru. The study investigated five rural non-farm undertakings occupied with the accompanying regions: agribusiness activities, rural industrialisation ventures, transport services, the travel industry activities and development ventures. The study used questionnaires and interview guides for primary data collection. The findings indicated that what made most of RNFEs to begin the business was to bring in cash and utilized as a type of revenue. The study correlation results between the diversity of RNFEs that support the agricultural sector and rural livelihood outcome was positive and significant. The regression model depicted a positive and significant relationship between the various kinds of RNFEs that support the agricultural sector and rural livelihood outcomes. The inferential statistics demonstrated that the relationship between various types of RNFEs that help the effect of country non-farm undertakings on rural business results are significant. Therefore, is the study concluded that the help of RNFEs occupied with farming does affect rural business results in rural regions. Besides operating related rural-based commercial activities including agro-processing and ancillary commercial, it is possible to introduce activities to provide services to facilitate the adjoining agricultural commercial activities such as sale of fertilisers, insecticides or improved seeds.
Time is of the Essence: Using Extended Hemin Treatment for a Case of Severe Acute Intermittent Porphyria
Authors: Kumar Smriti Rajita , Byrnes Diana , Mahfouz Mahmoud , Rosenblatt Joseph , Levy Cynthia
Published: July 2022

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a disorder that affects heme synthesis, leading to accumulation of upstream precursors, and can cause an array of visceral and neurological symptoms. These can be severely debilitating and even fatal if not diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion. We outline a rare case of severe AIP masquerading as ascending polyneuropathy and how it was correctly diagnosed and treated with an extended course of hemin despite initial barriers to biochemical testing for AIP.
Loyalität. Fluch oder Segen für Kollektive?
Authors: Simmermacher Danaë
Published: July 2022

Loyalty is often referred to as the glue that holds collectives together in a stable and resilient way, and yet it is not rarely feared or even despised because it is participatory, exclusionary, and can exacerbate inequalities. The specific problem of loyalty is its ambivalence. Its advantages can often be a disadvantage for communities and individuals, depending on the situation and relational context. Since loyalty is a social fact, and since we as social beings would not consider a life without loyalty as a good life, it seems useful to find out how it can become a blessing rather than a curse, or under which circumstances it is beneficial or harmful for collectives and individuals. This paper explores this question and argues that loyalty(ies) promotes the cohesiveness in collectives if, in addition to the emotional bonds from which loyalties arise, a rational component in loyalties can be demonstrated that allows them to be justified and criticized and thus makes them suitable as an object of social discourse.
Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt zwischen Solidarität und Affinität
Authors: Peters Christian Helge
Published: July 2022

Currently, many authors in public and academic discourse speak of an increasing „social divide“ that threatens social cohesion. There has been a broad discussion on social cohesion in social sciences ever since: Different conceptions could be ideally classified in a scheme with a more rational (Weber, Parsons) and a more emotional pole (Durkheim, Tönnies). I explore this tension by following an affective turn in conceptions of social cohesion. Therefore, I focus on the concept of solidarity as representing the rational model of cohesion and the concept of affinity standing for the affective one. The affective turn brings about a twofold shift in the understanding of the central processes of social cohesion: from collectivity to connectivity and from rationality to affectivity. Still, this shift runs the danger of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Cohesion must neither be understood as exclusively reyling upon on either rational or affective processes. I propose to overcome this dichotomy by employing Hemming´s concept of „affective solidarity“. Rationaliy and affectivity must be understood as being mutually effective, the former modulating the latter, the latter energizing the former.
Im Schattenreich der Institution: Eine affekttheoretische Perspektive
Authors: Scheve Christian von , Slaby Jan
Published: July 2022

Although affect and emotion are often discussed in institutional and organizational research, they are rarely studied systematically and in accordance with their overall relevance. To investigate the decisive but subtle, sometimes barely noticeable or taken-for-granted power of institutions, we need to achieve a better understanding of the close intertwining of institutional rules, operations, and spaces with complex affective dynamics. In this article, we therefore develop an analytical framework that allows to investigate the countless affective dynamics that characterize institutions. First, this framework can help to come to terms with the multidimensionality of institutional affect and thus inform empirical studies of institutions. Second, our approach allows scholars and researchers to make visible those developments and modes of agency that run counter to the official functions and self-understandings of institutions. As a an initial step, we propose a conceptual clarification of „institution“ and „organization“ that incorporates various references to social theory which already foreshadow some dynamics of institutional affect. Further detailing this perspective, we develop an analytical grid that focuses, first, on what we call the „guiding affects“ of institutions and, second, on the internal affective dynamics of institutions. The proposed framework provides a variety of links to discussions of institutions in cultural studies and the social sciences.

Audit Committee Attributes and Whistle-Blowing Policy
Authors: Bala Hussaini , Abdulwahab Anas I. , Kwanbo Mansur L. , Khatoon Ghousia , Karaye Abubakar B.
Published: July 2022

There is limited evidence about the association between audit committee (AC) characteristics and effective whistleblowing policy. In light of the above, this study explores the relationship between AC and the effective whistle-blowing policy in Nigerian Banks. The study uses a period of ten years (2009 to 2019). It employs a logistic regression technique in the analysis. Data for the study were found from the listed banks’ yearly reports. The results revealed that firms that have AC composed of independent directors, have more financial experts, and meet regularly are more likely to have an effective whistleblowing policy. Moreover, a larger AC is associated with a weak whistleblowing policy. Therefore, it is recommended that regulators such as the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nigerian Central Bank (CBN) should ensure stringent compliance of their codes of corporate governance on AC composition as both of them recommend the existence of autonomous directors and financial experts in the AC. However, the findings and recommendations are only applicable to listed banks in Nigeria. For this reason, further research may be needed to be conducted on the AC attributes in other sectors like manufacturing firms.
The Fragile World of Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men
Authors: Arif Saffeen N.
Published: July 2022

In Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men (2005), not only old people’s life is fragile in that they have no place or country to live comfortably in, but also almost everybody’s life is at stake. The purpose of this article is to explore the nature of the fragile world in addition to the forms and causes which McCarthy depicts in his novel from perspectives other than the ones addressed previously by the majority of McCarthy’s critics and scholars. Those critics attempt to refer to outside or external forces to account for the fragility of the world which the novel vividly delineates. Among such approaches to the novel is the overemphasis on the destructive power of fate and chance over the inhabitants of that world. In this regard, other scholars try to shed light on the meaning of the story and its characters against an allegorical background. The current paper, however, approaches McCarthy’s novel aiming at internalizing the causes behind the weakness and vulnerability of characters and the insecurity of the world where they live. The article tries to suggest other factors, such as inaction and lack of communication, whose roles are by no means less effective than the external ones in portraying the fragility of McCarthy’s fictional world.
Intrusion Fantasy as a Cathartic Tool in Patrick Ness A Monster Calls
Authors: Hassan Shaima' F.
Published: July 2022

Since its publication in 2011, A Monster Calls has attracted the attention of scholars in various ways. The novel is classified as a low fantasy or intrusion fantasy. Previous studies attempted psychoanalytical reading; other studies took stylistic investigation and the rest were thematic. This study analyzes the connection between fantasy and reality and how the supernatural intrudes into the real life of the child hero, Conor. It examines the four stories and how they trespass the main plot in a magical way to save Conor from his nightmares and sufferings. This study attempts to investigate the use of intrusion fantasy as a cathartic tool which is manipulated to help Conor to overcome his bereavement and prepare him to accept his mother’s terminal illness. The paper argues that the intrusion fantasy has a purgatory effect that transformed Conor’s personality from denier into a resilient one. The study also traces Conor’s cathartic journey to achieve internal peace and settlement. In the analysis, the researcher looks at the cathartic effect not from Aristotelian point of view, but from a psychological point of view. The analysis will also shed light on Conor’s psyche and how he becomes mentally purged and gains peace of mind.
Punctuation in English and Kurdish
Authors: Qadir Elham M. , Padar Hunar H.
Published: July 2022

Punctuation, of paramount significance in written discourse analysis, is a highly developed system which modifies linguistic forms on phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic strata in written texts. Nevertheless, until recently, it has not received ample attention due to remaining in the shade of prosody or grammatical relations. In the last few decades, strikingly, it has been established that a genuine conception of the written language is impracticable if punctuation is not taken into consideration. Meanwhile, cross-linguistic studies have been recommended by some scholars (e.g. Little, 1986; Krahn, 2014); thus, though some studies have been conducted comparing the English punctuation system with that of other languages, there is a dearth of studies exploring this crucial aspect of written discourse in English and Kurdish. Therefore, drawing on Krahn's new paradigm (2014) which treats punctuation as an independent linguistic feature of the written modality, the present paper aims to cross-examine the punctuation system in both languages in a quest for outlining any similarities and differences that the two languages uncover in this area. More specifically, the study seeks to answer these questions: how are the punctuation marks different or similar in English and Kurdish? Does the punctuation system exhibit the same level of complexity in both languages? Are all the punctuation marks manifested in English realised in Kurdish either and vice versa? The paper is purely based on a qualitative research approach. The results show that the two languages bear significant similarities and differences in the manifestation and employment of punctuation symbols. Yet, the punctuation system in English is more complex than Kurdish. Punctuation in the static and dynamic axes instantiates an area of considerable divergence between the two languages-though some similarities are predominant.

Published: July 2022

The study investigates the impressions of students at University of Zakho, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, about e-learning during the Covid-19, highlighting some problems resulted from using this e-learning system. Also, the statistical significance of correlations according to gender is calculated. Using qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection, a questionnaire of seven items is utilized via google document and sent to nearly 1000 participants (males and females) via social media and online platforms. Only 752 responses returned. The data were interpreted and analyzed by Excel sheets and SPSS software. As there was statistical significance in gender differences, the results showed that the majority of the participants do not view e-learning as a fun process for their education and they have no willingness to use it for their future studies. In addition, more than half of the participants agree that (1) e-learning is costly; (2) lectures are better understood in classrooms; (3) e-learning is not adequate because of the internet and electricity outage; and (4) e-learning leads to some eye problems and headaches. Generally, knowing the students’ impressions about using e-learning for their education will be helpful for the university administrators, educational policy makers, teachers to determine the students’ genuine needs, motivation or challenges. This will be helpful to gain an understanding of e-learning in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to cope with challenges involved in the process of e-learning, and develop approaches to solve the problems resulted from.

The increasing numbers, behaviour and influence of International non governmental organization (INGOs) in recent times within the local and international system has drawn attention in the academic sphere and these behaviours could be seen through their activities as dominant actors in developmental grounds and as influencers in foreign policy of states. The study used the mixed method approach; secondary data analysis, and observations which rely on secondary sources like journals, textbooks and online publications which are relevant to the study. The findings shows that INGOs have directly and indirectly influenced the decision making and policies of states through their facilitating or advocacy activities in the international arena to promote and ensure compliance of International humanitarian laws. It was concluded that INGOs has effectively and actively influenced states foreign policies and recommended that INGOs should be closely monitored, to limit crossing their boundaries even as they render excellent humanitarian aids to affected victims of conflicts.
A Comparative Study on Intensifiers in Opinion Articles on Rudaw Portal
Authors: Khorsheed Nahlah , Dzakiria Hisham , Sarjit Singh Manvender Kaur
Published: July 2022

Semantically, intensifiers are concerned with the degree that scales the element to which the intensifiers applied to a point either higher than the norm or lower. Thus, the writers’ involvement with or detachment from a statement can be reflected through the use of intensifiers. This paper explores the use of intensifiers by Kurdish authors in comparison to non-Kurdish authors who write opinion articles on Rudaw portal. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how these two groups of authors differ in their preference for the use of intensifiers. To this end, two corpora were compiled: Kurdish authors (COKA) and non-Kurdish authors (CONKA). The online interface of UCREL Semantic Analysis System (USAS) in Wmatrix was employed to identify the semantic categories of intensifiers. The results showed that boosters had the highest frequency (140 in COKA and 280 in CONKA). However, the use of all categories was higher by the non-Kurdish authors and with wider range of lexicons than the Kurdish authors. This study contributes to literature of the use of automated semantic tagger (USAS) for identifying intensifiers; it is a mechanism that can be fruitful for investigating other lexicogrammatical items for a better understanding of the link between language and socio-cultural factors.
Colloquialism and the Community of Practice
Authors: Fattah Bikhtiyar O. , Salih Salah M.
Published: July 2022

Colloquial language is a very comprehensive linguistic notion that beholds all the forms and linguistic units of informal language variations. The investigation of colloquial language requires precise data; and this can be fulfilled by the consideration of community of practice in the process of data collection. Community of practice is the mutual engagement of a group of people that share a certain interest, a social status, or an occupation in common; however, they are not supposed to be homogenous in age, gender, hobby, social status and occupation in order to be included. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative method to demonstrate, theoretically, how significant the availability of community of practice in colloquial language studies is. It ultimately aims at identifying the characteristics and morphological forms of colloquial language on the one hand, and expounding the notion and the criteria of community of practice and its contribution in conducting colloquial language studies on the other hand. This study hypothesizes that consideration of community of practice is a prerequisite in conducting colloquial language studies. This study concludes that the majority of the studies conducted on various colloquial language forms either ignored the consideration of community of practice or they were not fully familiar with the notion, the traits, the dimensions, the frame, the structure and the functions of community of practice.

This concept is for a small vessel such as fishing vessels, patrol vessels and prototypes have been built. Resistance and motion is important part of a vessel design, this paper compares a flat plate vessel with 282.56 ton displacement with a conventional vessel with the same displacement and same speed. The resistance comparison was conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) on each ship with a speed range of 5-10 knots of operational speed. The resistance shows that the flat panel vessel generates higher resistance compared to the conventional vessel where the difference varies from 8.388% to 19.954% depending on the speed. It also found that the pitch motion (Ry) of flat panel vessel is positive that indicates the bow draft is lower during the simulation in calm water. The highest value of pitch is 1.13 degrees measured at the amidships or zero point or -0.3 m at the bow. Two While the relative velocity or flow analysis indicates that flow of the flat panel vessel has enormous turbulence flow around the stern hull and smoother flow pattern at the bow, this may cause the increase of resistance and bow diving in calm water phenomena. However since the most accurate test is based on model test in hydrodynamic laboratory, it is recommended to conduct the comparison experiment in hydrodynamic laboratory.

Published: July 2022

Nine different varieties of mushrooms were collected from the various niches of Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. These mushrooms were identified on the basis of their macroscopic and microscopic studies. After identification, these mushrooms were found to be Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus campestris, Ganoderma lucidum, Pleurotus populinus, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Amanita pantherina, Astraeus hygrometricus, Russula emetica and Russula cyanoxantha. For all these 9 species of mushrooms bioprospecting with reference to nutritional, toxicological and medicinal aspects were carried out. At present, nutritional aspects are being reported. For nutritional aspects these mushrooms were analyzed for their different properties like carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and mineral contents. In the present study, carbohydrate content was highest in R. emetica (34.34 g/100 g dw) and lowest in P. populinus (8.18 g/100 g dw). The protein content was found to be highest in G. lucidum (48.86 g/100 g) and lowest in Amanita pantherina (13.59 g/100 g dw). Fat content was detected to be highest in Astraeus hygrometricus (5.20 g/100 g dw) and lowest in P. populinus (0.113 g/100 g dw). Riboflavin content was highest in G. lucidum (18.37 g/100 g dw) and almost absent in R. cyanoxantha (0.018 g/100 g dw). Content of ascorbic acid was found to be highest in A. bisporus (27.15 g/100 g dw) and lowest in P. pulmonarius (13.38 g/100 g dw). Highest amount of Ca was detected in P. pulmonarius. Level of K, Mg and Na was seen to be highest in A. bisporus.

Concerns about the negative impacts of synthetic colorants on both consumers and the environment have sparked a surge of interest in natural colorants. This has boosted the global demand for natural colorants in the food, cosmetics and textile industries. Pigments and colorants derived from plants and microorganisms are currently the principal sources used by modern industry. When compared to the hazardous effects of synthetic dyes on human health, natural colors are quickly degradable and have no negative consequences. In fact, fungal pigments have multidimensional bioactivity spectra too. Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot has a lot of unique ecological niches known to harbor potential endophytic pigment-producing fungi having enumerable industrial and medical applications. Most of the fungi have coevolved with the plants in a geographical niche and hence the endophytic associations can be thought to bring about many mutually beneficial traits. The current review aims to highlight the potential of fungal pigments found in the Western ghats of India depicting various methods of isolation and screening, pigment extraction and uses. There is an urgent need for bioprospecting for the identification and characterization of extremophilic endophytic fungi to meet industry demands and attain sustainability and balance in nature, especially from geographic hotspots like the Western Ghats.
E-Identity and Security: Study of the Role of Identity Management in Sustainable Development
Authors: Akeem Amodu , Titilope Ejiofor
Published: July 2022

Globally, the ability to prove one’s identity is increasingly recognized as the basis for accessing government goods and services, including security. The level of e-identity infrastructure and security in a given society determines the degree of success or failure of accomplishing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. United Nations statistics indicate that a billion people in Africa and Asia lack proof of identification. Through conceptual and qualitative analysis of data gathered from both primary and secondary sources, and with particular reference to Nigeria, the paper examined the interplay between E-identity, security and sustainable development. The paper discovered the following as threats to sustainable e-identity management in Nigeria: lack of political will to enforce legislations for e-identity management; poor planning and funding of enrollment programs (which is at the heart of facilitating the UNSDGs); citizens’ complacency to enroll; and, poor enforcement of sanctions on failure to enroll. The paper concludes among others, that effective e-management of identities is a desideratum for security and sustainable development.

Published: July 2022

Over the last 30 years, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has become a fundamental technique in corrosion research. With its high spatial resolution and its ability to study local electrochemistry, it contributes essentially to the understanding of corrosion processes. By using selective micro- and nano-sensors, concentration profiles of different corrosion relevant species, from protons to metal ions, can be established. This review provides a comprehensive overview about SECM based techniques and discusses various types of microsensors, including materials selection and preparation techniques, and it provides extensive tables on redox-couples for specific corrosion research applications.
Modeling sign concordance of quantile regression residuals with multiple outcomes
Authors: Columbu Silvia , Frumento Paolo , Bottai Matteo
Published: July 2022

Quantile regression permits describing how quantiles of a scalar response variable depend on a set of predictors. Because a unique definition of multivariate quantiles is lacking, extending quantile regression to multivariate responses is somewhat complicated. In this paper, we describe a simple approach based on a two-step procedure: in the first step, quantile regression is applied to each response separately; in the second step, the joint distribution of the signs of the residuals is modeled through multinomial regression. The described approach does not require a multidimensional definition of quantiles, and can be used to capture important features of a multivariate response and assess the effects of covariates on the correlation structure. We apply the proposed method to analyze two different datasets.

In this article, we examine a coupled system of fractional integrodifferential equations of Liouville–Caputo form with instantaneous impulsive conditions in a Banach space. We obtain the existence and uniqueness results by applying the theory of fixed point theorems. In a similar manner, we discuss Hyers–Ulam stability and controllability. We also present an example to show the validity of the obtained results.

Using the ABAQUS software, this article presents a numerical investigation on the effects of various stud distributions on the behavior of composite beams. A total of 24 continuous 2-span composite beam samples with a span length of 1 m were examined (concrete slab at the top and steel I-section at the bottom). The concrete slab used is made of a reactive powder concrete with a compressive strength of 100.29 MPa. The total depth of each sample was 0.220 m. The samples were separated into four groups. The first group involved 6 specimens with shear connectors distributed into 2 rows with different distances (65, 85, 105, 150, 200, and 250 mm). The second group had the same spacing of shear connectors as the first group except that the shear connectors were distributed with one row along the longitudinal axis. The third group consisted of six specimens with single and double shear connectors distributed along the longitudinal axis. The fourth group included six specimens with one row of shear connectors arranged in a staggered distribution along the longitudinal axis. Results show that the optimum spacing was 105 mm in all groups and the deflection in group four fluctuated up and down due to the non-symmetrical distribution of the shear connectors.
The Communication of Viewpoints in Jordanian Arabic: A Pragmatic Study
Authors: Al-khawaldeh Nisreen , Abu Rahmeh Luay
Published: July 2022

Expressing opinions is considered a significant communicative act frequently taking place in our conversations. It is one of the fairly neglected areas of research in the Arabic context. Among the studies conducted on the communicative acts, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no attempt to investigate the expressions of opinion and its strategies specifically in Jordanian Arabic (JA). To this end, the current study intends to investigate the communicative act of opinion giving in JA with reference to gender disparities. Data elicited from 50 male and 50 female speakers of JA via Discourse Completion Task and role-plays revealed that Jordanians resort to a mixture of expressions to convey their opinion clearly. They use various types of strategies, including direct expression of opinion, indirect manifestation of opinion, advice, suggesting, enumeration, prayers, address terms, complaining, personalized hedges, and rarely opting out. In addition, gender differences were also noticed in expressing this speech act. Males use direct expression strategy and imperative expression significantly more than the female participants, whereas the females used six strategies significantly more than their male counterparts: indirect expression, advice, personalized hedges, suggesting, prayers, and address terms.
