Authors: Kadek Erlangga Kesha Wiguna  , Ni Wayan Suastini
Published: August 2024

This study underscores the importance of figurative language in film, particularly within a digitally-driven narrative like "Free Guy." It provides valuable insights into how linguistic creativity supports storytelling in contemporary cinema, enriching both the viewers' experience and the overall impact of the film. Using Barthes' theory of semiotics, which examines how meaning is constructed through signs and symbols, the study reveals that figurative language functions as a crucial signifying system in "Free Guy." Leech's theory of figurative language, which categorizes different types of figurative expressions, provides a framework for analyzing their specific functions in the film. This study identifies how metaphors, similes, hyperboles, personifications, and metonyms collectively enhance the storytelling process. The results of the study indicate that metaphor is the most dominant form of figurative language in "Free Guy," highlighting its significance in enhancing the narrative and thematic depth of the film. Similes and hyperboles also play crucial roles, particularly in character development and conveying humour. The presence of these figurative elements enriches the viewer's experience by providing additional layers of meaning, which strengthens emotional engagement and understanding of the story, while personifications and metonyms add vividness and relatability to the virtual world depicted in the movie. Furthermore, this study opens avenues for further exploration into the role of figurative language in different film genres and other forms of digital storytelling. Future research could examine how these linguistic tools influence viewer perception and emotional engagement across various cinematic contexts. Understanding the use of figurative language can reveal its power in shaping narratives, enhancing emotional engagement, and adding layers of meaning.

Kontes Kapal Cepat Tak Berawak Nasional (KKCTBN) held by Pusat Prestasi Nasional (Puspresnas) Kemendikbudristek RI aims to encourage innovation in the design and performance of shipping-maritime technology prototypes. The selection of the right material for the catamaran hull is very important because it affects the strength and weight of the ship. Materials such as fiber reinforced polymer, which uses glass fiber, are often used due to their good mechanical strength. However, natural fibers such as pineapple leaf fiber also have potential as composite reinforcement. The combination of natural and synthetic fibers, such as pineapple leaf fiber and glass fiber, in hybrid composites can improve the mechanical properties of the material. The purpose of this study was to investigate tensile and impact properties of pineapple leaf fiber-glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) hybrid composites. Fiber preparation was carried out by separating pineapple leaf to produce fibers, alkaline treatment using 10% NaOH with a soaking time of 24 hours, and oven drying at 100?C for 60 minutes. Polymer as the matrix used was 50% while the percentage variations of pineapple leaf fiber and glass fiber were sequentially as follows 5%:45%, 10%:40% and 15%:35%. It was found that the tensile strength of the 10% pineapple leaf fiber composite was about 114 MPa and impact strength 49.96 J/mm², density 1.19 g/cm3. The results of this study indicate that the resulting composite can be used as an alternative material in the prototype hull of a catamaran type unmanned speedboat.

The use of cladding methods in manufacturing corrosion-resistant pipes is crucial for industries such as oil and gas, chemical plants, and pressure vessel manufacturing. This study focuses on ASTM B424 UNS N08825, a corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) to be used as the surface layer for steel pipes. The cladding method involves forming CRA sheets into longitudinal pipes, followed by welding the joints, annealing, and rapid cooling before high process expansion to surface layer the steel pipes. At a temperature of 930-990°C, the annealing process aims to reduce stress and improve material properties, followed by rapid cooling to stabilize the microstructure. Various tests were conducted on the CRA liner pipes with or without annealing and quenching, including tensile testing, hardness testing, chemical composition analysis, and microstructure examination. The results showed that the material's ultimate tensile strength and hardness significantly increased after the treatment, with better uniformity in the microstructure. This study concludes that annealing and rapid cooling enhance the mechanical properties and stability of ASTM B424 UNS N08825, allowing the cladding process on steel pipe surfaces to be performed flawlessly and making it suitable for high-performance applications in corrosive environments.

Commercial Soyabean Farming and Household Livelihoods in Kole District northern Uganda, a critical analysis of Farmers Cooperative Society
Authors: - Ejang Mary , - Oboi Alex
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the relationship between commercial soyabean farming and household livelihoods of members of Alito Joint Christian Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited (AJCFSL) in Kole district, Uganda. We used mixed method approach and generated quantitative and qualitative data from registered members of AJCFSL. We sampled 155 respondents out of 259 using simple random technique and purposive sampling techniques and collected data using questionnaires and interview guide. The findings reveal that the number of acres cultivated by soyabean farmers (p<0.01, β= 0.637) is significant in predicting household food security, income, provision of basic needs and responding to emergencies. However, owning storage facilities by farming households is least significant in explaining the contribution of soyabean farming to household livelihood elements (p<0.01, β= 0.216). The study concludes that planting soya bean on more acres strongly enhance family stability. The study recommends the introduction of easy means of acquiring land titles by farmers; and the introduction of subsidized tractor-hire services to boost production of soya bean and achieve a stable family environment. Further research can be considered with a view of analyzing the relationship between commercial soya bean farming and the financial, human, and physical capitals of farmers in Kole district

Authors: - Zhou Lixin
Published: August 2024

The present study tends to identify the dynamics of ecotourism in global climate change, focusing on stakeholders' perceptions and industry adaptation strategies. Climate change is currently challenging the tourism sector, especially at the level of ecotourism; hence, it becomes imperative to note how different stakeholders perceive these impacts and how the industry responds to them. This research looks into the potential implications of climate change in three areas: operation and profitability of tourist spots, changes in tourist demand, and socio-economic implications. In this regard, the researchers utilized the survey results on stakeholders: tourists, business operators, and local communities. For example, according to the results, all respondents perceived climate change's impact to be moderate. Specifically, moderate effects at operational and financial levels on tourist spots, shifting tourist demand, and broader socio-economic conditions are recognized. The results underline the need for targeted adaptation strategies to enhance business resilience to the changing climatic conditions, adapting to changing tourist preferences, and answering socio-economic challenges. The paper highlights the need for proactive steps toward the sustainability of ecotourism in the face of continuing change. Hence, it delivers actionable insight into what stakeholders would do to enable such navigation of the complexities of climate change.
The Middle East Politics: Post Ottoman Empire and the Cold War
Authors: - Mohammad Sarim
Published: August 2024

According to this study, the Middle East is made up of an Arab core that shares a common identity but is divided into numerous territorial states. The Arab periphery, which includes Turkey and Iran, is made up of non-Arab states that are closely involved in the region's conflicts and power dynamics. This paper will explain that, with its propensity for war and long history of hostilities, the region of the Middle East is perhaps the focal point of global crises. It seems to be the area where the realism paradigm continues to have the most importance and where the chaos and insecurity that the realistic view of international politics saw as the core characteristics of state systems remain most evident.
Partis Politique Et Participation Politique Dans Le Milieu Rural En République Démocratique Du Congo
Authors: - Aimé Kayembe Muteba Miko
Published: August 2024

Cet article porte sur les partis politiques de la R D C et leur façon d'accompagner les populations rurales dans la participation politique. En effet, les fondations politiques sont les acteurs attirés dans la vie politique active dans un pays. La R D C en plein processus démocratique connaît un activisme remarquable des partis politiques. Et cela dans les milieux ruraux qu’urbains.
Au regard de la réalité en face, les partis politiques qui évoluent dans le paysage politique congolais et plus particulièrement dans les milieux ruraux devront s'organiser et fonctionner tout en tenant compte des réalités rurales congolaises. Très peu d'entre ces partis œuvrent dans l'observation des principes et règles de gestion requise. Nous avons constaté que le caractère analphabète des certains ruraux a fait que ces formations politiques ont travaillé de façon inefficace.
Ainsi, nous appelons les gouvernants, leaders politiques membres adhérents aux partis politiques de remplir chacun son rôle, pour la participation efficace et effective des acteurs sociaux à la vie politique. De cette façon, les partis politiques auront fonctionnés normalement dans l'accompagnement des masses rurales dans la participation politique en RDC.

A Perspective Study of Infamous Classic Women in the Novels of Vaishnavi Patel’s ‘Kaikeyi’ and Kavita Kane’s ‘Karna’s Wife: the Outcast’s Queen’
Authors: - N. Nafiza Begum , - V. Vijaya
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Indian Mythology has many complex characters that reflect contemporary issues. Vaishnavi Patel and Kavita Kane, renowned women writers, have reinterpreted the epic tales of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata through a modern perspective. This paper examines human behaviour using a psychological approach in Patel’s “Kaikeyi”and Kavita Kane’s “Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen”. Patel’s“Kaikeyi”explores the protagonist’s optimistic traits, her childhood longings, and her feminist qualities. Traditionally depicted as a villain in the Ramayana, Kaikeyi is recognized as Rama’s stepmother who instigates his exile. However, before assuming this role, she experienced a difficult and challenging childhood in the Kingdom of Kekaya. The novel sheds light on the darker aspects of Kaikeyi’s past, providing a deeper understanding of her character. Kavita Kane’s interest lies in unveiling the complexities of classic women in her literary works. In “Karna’s Wife”, Uruvi, the protagonist, is portrayed as the marginalized wife of Karna, who belongs to the Sutapura lineage. Uruvi, a princess from the Kshatriya family of Pukeya kingdom is depicted as an optimistic character with great skills, knowledge, and mental strength.These two novels focus on the lives of classic women, their behavioural changes, and their insecurities in different situations. Women are inherently multifaceted and encounter various challenges throughout their lives. Different approaches are required to address these challenges. According to Sigmund Freud, the human psyche consists of three aspects that interact and influence each other to create complex human behaviour. Freud’s psychological theory can be used to analyse the characters of Kaikeyi and Uruvi in these novels. The study attempts to highlight the need for women to overcome feelings of insecurity, emotional dependence, to achieve self-realization, and build resilience, which are essential qualities in the contemporary era.

Changing Land Structures Of West Bengal: A Study of Inequality Across Minorities In Rural West Bengal
Authors: - Arjun Bhattacharya
Published: August 2024

Land inequality in Indian agriculture has been a persistent issue as the feudal nature of the countryside enables a minority section of landlords to control a significant share of operational land where-as the backward communities remain landless and isolated from other means of production. Initially, land reforms in West Bengal made strides in reducing land inequality, benefitting the marginalised community; however, the 1990s liberalisation policies reversed these gains fostering a resurgence of land inequality. This cycle underscores the complex interplay between historical reforms and contemporary economic shifts, revealing the ongoing challenges in addressing land ownership disparities. The survey-based method helps understand land-dynamics in the villages at a micro-level.
