Examination of some quality analysis carried out to the determination of standardization of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) oil used in traditional medicine applications
Authors: AYRAN İrem , KAN Yüksel
Published: June 2022

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) plant is among the medicinal plants used as pharmaceutical raw material with traditional methods for more than 2000 years. St. John's Wort plant and its medicinal oil (maserate) obtained from it, usage area is increasing day by day in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries thanks to the important bioactive components. The pharmacologically important component of the plant is known as hypericin. This study was carried out in Selcuk University, Faculty of Agriculture, Medical and Endemic Plants Training and Research Farm, and examined the effect of different holding environments (sun, shade), harvest periods (25% flowering period, 50% flowering period and full flowering period) and drying methods (wet herb, faded herb and dried herb) on the amount of hypericin in St. John's Wort and its medicinal oil. According to the results of the analysis, the highest amount of hypericin in St. John's Wort herb was determined as 0.32% in full flowering period. The highest amount of hypericin in St. John's Wort oils was determined as 271.92 mg/L in fresh herb during the full flowering period. According to the results of the research, the harvesting periods are effective on the amount of hypericin, and it can be suggested that the wet herb, which is harvested in full bloom and hold, should be macerated with olive oil in the sun to obtain St. John's Wort oil with high hypericin content.

Authors: Zhang Chuanyu , Li Wanting , Yu Haijun , Lu Yingxiang , Sha Jianze , Yang Shusheng
Published: June 2022

The Dalong tin deposit, located in the Luziyuan polymetallic ore field of the southern Baoshan block, Southwest China, is composed of lenticular and bedded orebodies hosted in a Cambrian slate-marble sequence. As the only tin deposit in the orefield, the genesis of the Dalong deposit is of great significance to the understanding of regional metallogenic regularity. Based on a systematic field survey and petrographic observation, EPMA and LA-ICP-MS major/trace element analyses of cassiterite were carried out in this study. The enrichment of Fe, W, and Ti in cassiterite, as well as the depletion of Nb, Ta, and Mn, reveal cassiterite’s features in granitic magmatic-hydrothermal deposits. The Dalong deposit can be categorized as a magmatic-hydrothermal vein-type deposit because of its sulfur isotopic properties, and the main sources of ore-forming fluid and minerals are thought to be buried intermediate-acid intrusions in the mining area’s depths.
Analysis of Carbon Emission and Its Temporal and Spatial Distribution in County-Level: A Case Study of Henan Province, China
Authors: Li Sen , Lan Yanwen , Guo Lijun
Published: June 2022

Estimating carbon emissions and assessing their contribution are critical steps toward China’s objective of reaching a “carbon peak” in 2030 and “carbon neutrality” in 2060. This paper selects relevant statistical data on carbon emissions from 2000 to 2018, combines the emission coefficient method and the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index model (LMDI) to calculate carbon emissions, and analyses the driving force of carbon emission growth using Henan Province as a case study. Based on the partial least squares regression analysis model (PLS), the contributions of inter-provincial factors of carbon emission are analyzed. Finally, a county-level downscaling estimation model of carbon emission is further formulated to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of carbon emissions and their evolution. The research results show that: 1) The effect of energy intensity is responsible for 82 percent of the increase in carbon emissions, whereas the effect of industrial structure is responsible for -8 percent of the increase in carbon emissions. 2) The proportion of secondary industry and energy intensity, which are 1.64 and 0.82, respectively, have the most evident explanatory effect on total carbon emissions; 3). Carbon emissions vary widely among counties, with high emissions in the central and northern regions and low emissions in the southern. However, their carbon emissions have constantly decreased over time. 4) The number of high-emission counties, their carbon emissions, and the degree of their discrepancies are gradually reduced. The findings serve as a foundation for relevant agencies to gain a macro-level understanding of the industrial landscape and to investigate the feasibility of carbon emission reduction programs.

Published: June 2022

Correct streamflow prediction is critical for determining the availability and efficiency of watershed spatial plans and water resource management. In the Xuanmiaoguan (XMG) Reservoir Catchment, two different versions of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model are compared to discharge predictions. One version is the Topo-SWAT, in which the overland flow is generated by saturation excess (Dunne) runoff mechanism, while the other is driven by infiltration excess runoff mechanism, i.e., the Regular-SWAT. These SWAT models were calibrated and validated with discharge at daily and monthly steps, and then, the annual runoff volume and spatial distribution of runoff generation areas were also discussed. At the monthly scale, the un-calibrated Topo-SWAT model outperformed the un-calibrated Regular-SWAT model throughout the whole time (2010-2016). The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients (NSE) using Topo-SWAT and Regular-SWAT were 0.59, 0.58 for calibration and 0.69, 0.72 for validation for daily streamflow, and 0.69, 0.65 for calibration and 0.73, 0.88 for validation for monthly streamflow, respectively, based on the parameter sensitivity analysis results. There was a 5-year understatement for yearly runoff volume using Regular-SWAT, but a 4-year underestimation using Topo-SWAT, which had a different year in 2015. Regular-SWAT and Topo-SWAT have significantly different geographical distributions of runoff generating locations within the watershed for one occurrence (greater rainfall). The findings reveal the most accurate contributing regions for runoff generation in the research catchment, allowing for more effective implementation of best management techniques (BMPs).
Research on Influencing Factors of Provincial Energy Efficiency in China Based on the Spatial Panel Model
Authors: Li Guozhu , Zhang Tingyu
Published: June 2022

The Super-SBM model was used first to assess the energy efficiency of 30 Chinese provinces from 2012 to 2017. After that, an energy efficiency spatial correlation test was conducted, and finally, the influencing elements of energy efficiency were analyzed using a geographic panel model. The findings show that the amount of regional economic development has a substantial positive impact on energy efficiency, whereas the level of regional urbanization and the severity of environmental restrictions have a considerable negative impact on energy efficiency in China’s provinces. Other regions’ energy structure and technical innovation have a substantial positive spillover effect on the region’s energy efficiency, whereas other regions’ economic development and foreign direct investment have a significant negative spillover effect on the region’s energy efficiency.

Published: June 2022

Water quality evaluation is a critical component of water environmental quality management, and conducting water quality assessments for reservoirs is quite practical. The inaccuracy induced by information overlap of several water quality measures is rarely taken into account in current water quality assessment systems. To solve this problem, the Principal component analysis-Rank sum ratio (PCA-RSR) water quality evaluation model was used to quantitatively evaluate the water quality of the Daheiting reservoir based on the monitoring data of different water layers in 2019. The results show that the water quality of Daheiting reservoir in 2019 is slightly better than that of the end of the reservoir, due to the influence of human factors downstream of the Upper Panjiakou Dam and the topography of the Luan River System, and the water quality from the dam head to the reservoir tail shows a decreasing trend. The PCA-RSR model has a good correlation with the traditional water quality indexes (WQI) system, which can avoid errors caused by overlapping information among the indexes while also taking into account the weight of the environmental factors of the study area. It is feasible and has some practical value in reservoir water quality evaluation..

Authors: V. Pavithira , Devi C. Anchana , N. Pushpa
Published: June 2022

Electronic waste or E-waste refers to the discarded electrical or electronic devices which have neared their useful life. Because of the toxicity and carcinogenicity of some compounds, the proper management and safe disposal of these electronic wastes have become serious challenges in recent years. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are found almost in every other electronics these days, hence the present study focuses on bioleaching of metals from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) using bacterial and yeast strains (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Bacillus sp. and Candida tropicalis) isolated from heavily contaminated soil samples. A two-step bioleaching procedure was followed for maximum mobilization of metals. The isolated strains were able to mobilize metals from PCBs with different efficiencies depending on their ability to utilize the E-waste a carbon source when cultivated in minimal media. Bioleaching potential of isolated microbes on eight heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Mn, Pb, Fe, Cr, Zn & Co) in the sample were studied using AAS and SEM analysis before and after the two-step bioleaching process and found to be efficient. The study concludes that isolated bacterial and fungal species from the study can be further standardized with regard to the growth parameters and used on large scale to carry out the efficient recovery of metals that can help in recycling E-waste in the digital world.
Leaching of Metal Ions and Suspended Solids from Slag Corroded by Acid-base Solutions: An Experimental Study
Authors: Ma Jiayu , Lu Haijun , Wei Yuchen , Wang Chaofeng
Published: June 2022

This study focused on the ion release and microstructure of slag during its degradation following erosion by different pH solutions. It focused on controlling factors such as slag particle size range, pH value of the solution, and soaking time. The surface microstructure and particle size distribution of slag with the particle size of 0.075–5.0 mm, the mineral composition of suspended pollutants larger than 0.45 μm, and the phenomenon of nano-scale ion release were examined. When slag was soaked in solutions with different pH values for 30 days, the pH value of leachate tended to be neutral, the release amount of Ca, Mg, Fe, and Cd ions increased and the release rate gradually decreased. The dissolution process of slag in the alkaline solution was slower than that in acid, but suspension and gels formed more easily in an alkaline environment. Nitric acid accelerated the chemical reaction of akermanite, gehlenite, and hawleyite, and released Ca, Mg, and Cd ions. There were clear damage cracks and various irregular pores on the slag surface. Under the attack of alkali solution, the weight of akermanite in slag increased, the Mg ion content in solution decreased, and the suspended solids of calcite and portlandite increased. At pH 12, unlike at pH 3, there were no large surface cracks in the slag and the interface damage was small. Compared with pH 7, there were more irregular substances, such as flakes and spheres. The particle size of slag was mainly 0.1–0.5 mm, the content before and after leaching was 52.80%–55.87% and 55.00%–58.27%, and the slag was in a poor grading state. The findings of this study act as an important reference for understanding the influence of slag leaching on water and soil pollution.

ОБЛИЦИ СЕКСУАЛНОГ КАПИТАЛА: ЧЕТИРИ КАТЕГОРИЈЕ
Authors: Каплан Деjна , Илуз Ева
Published: June 2022

It is not nature that determines our ideas about sexuality, but society. Whereas it was religion that regulated sex in the past, today it is the economy. No wonder, then, that “sexual” or “erotic capital” has become a common metaphor in sociology, gender studies, sexology and even in everyday language to describe the motives and consequences of practices to increase sexual attractiveness, for example. The authors defend the concept of sexual capital as an analytical category, but make it more complex and free it from gender clichés as well as from rationalist and identitypolitical short-cuts. They show that sexual capital can take different, historically conditioned forms, which at times also coexist. Their main focus is on the specifics of neoliberal sexuality, which is accompanied by its very own kind of sexual capital, which has long since been circulating not only in the sphere of private intimate relations, but in the entire sphere of capitalist reproduction. Sexual freedom embodies self-realization in modern western societies. Viewing it as capital allows to recognize the alienation of women’s sexual capacities in the economy. In late modernity, it is also the capacity, unequally distributed, of individuals to gain self-confidence. From this perspective, the question of class and gender hierarchies consequently appears in a new light.

Los años previos al stronismo en Paraguay: construcción y consolidación de un bloque militar 1936-1954
Authors: Orué Pozzo Aníbal
Published: June 2022

Este artículo discute el proceso de constitución del stronismo en Paraguay. Para tal efecto, parte de la revolución de febrero de 1936 y de la formación de un Bloque Militar cuya hegemonía se extiende en la sociedad paraguaya hasta 1989, con el golpe que derriba a la longeva dictadura. La emergencia y constitución del Bloque Militar incorpora, al mismo tiempo, un Bloque Político Civil de apoyo en la consolidación del poder a lo largo de los años. El stronismo representa en este contexto, la continuidad de un Bloque militar reconfigurado - casi totalmente extinto cuando el mismo se quiebra en 1947 por la guerra civil. En este sentido no es necesariamente un gobierno “personalista”, aunque posteriormente los años lo llevan a este camino. Por otro lado, según sus intelectuales y propagandistas, es un gobierno que trae el equilibrio y la paz al país luego de los años de “anarquía” liberal (1904-1940) y del “caos colorado” (1947-1954), que amplios sectores terminan incorporando como entendimiento del período.
Diego de Torres Bollo SJ y el culto de Nuestra Señora de Loreto en el Paraguay con atención en el poblado guaraní de Santa Rosa
Authors: Page Carlos A.
Published: June 2022

Los jesuitas, mayormente que el resto del clero, tomaron como propia la devoción por la Virgen de Loreto y la difundieron por el mundo. En su provincia del Paraguay, el P. Diego de Torres Bollo, su primer provincial, fue quien la popularizó, luego de su paso por el santuario. Lo hizo en forma efectiva, sugiriendo a todos los misioneros que en cada poblado indígena se levante una réplica de la capilla lauretana, como también en los colegios de las ciudades. Trajo un plano, además de unas estrellas y astillas como reliquias. Pero el proceso de expolio y abandono surgido después de la expulsión solo dejó intacto un único edificio ubicado en Santa Rosa (Paraguay). Nuestra intención es dar a conocer los motivos que impulsaron al provincial a tomar estas decisiones, que dejaron un sinnúmero de testimonios. Por ello describimos y analizamos críticamente el caso ubicado en el antiguo poblado guaraní de Santa Rosa, por ser actualmente el único existente, con una serie importante de esculturas y sobre todo pinturas interiores en sus muros que representan el Traslado y los momentos previos al nacimiento de Jesús y su vida en la Casa.

Published: June 2022

Se trata de un estudio de la vinculación entre el sistema educativo como encargado del proceso de escolarización y la incorporación al mismo de los diferentes sectores de la sociedad paraguaya. La investigación da cuenta de la capacidad de retención del sistema educativo paraguayo, de la gestión institucional en la implementación del curriculum nacional. En especial, el enfoque pedagógico en la gestión del aprendizaje y contención dentro del sistema educativo a los estudiantes con riesgos de abandono de su estudio por problemas económicos o familiares. Se constata la falta de una política pública que acompañe de manera integral, porque la escolarización más que interés individual y voluntad de saber para la permanencia dentro del sistema educativo y adquisición de habilidades y conocimientos , implica costo económico que debe absorber las familias de los estudiantes, esta respuesta depende de la capacidad económica de cada familia, porque el Ministerio de Educación solo se encarga de la oferta educativa que, supone la solvencia de las familias. Además, de materiales didácticos, los estudiantes necesitan alimentación adecuada, vestimenta reglamentaria de uso obligatorio en el colegio y costo de movilidad para asistir al colegio. En los sectores desfavorecidos de la sociedad paraguaya estos costos constituyen un serio problema para la permanencia dentro del sistema educativo. Esta situación de precariedad económica pone en riesgo su escolarización, porque su familia no pagar la totalidad del costo que la permanencia en el colegio.

The purpose of this study was to see whether PBB revenue in Medan City within a period of five years (2016-2020) had effectively contributed well and could increase Regional Original Income. Moreover, to find out the obstacles faced by officers in the process of collecting taxes to taxpayers. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method by collecting, compiling, processing, and analyzing numerical data in order to provide an overview of a certain situation so that conclusions can be drawn. The data collection method used is the documentation method which is carried out by taking documentation on the PBB target report obtained from the Medan City BPPRD office. The results of the study show that the realization of the Land and Building Tax within a period of five years, namely in 2016-2020 hasn’t reached the target. Based on the acquisition of secondary data, the average effectiveness calculation result from 2016-2020 is 88% entered in the criteria of Enough Effective. Based on the calculation of the effectiveness of the contribution, the average PBB result for 2016-2020 is 28.7% with the criteria being quite effective. Obstacles that arise in tax collection include the low level of public awareness of the usefulness of taxes so that they are still reluctant to register or pay their taxpayers, there is still a sense of openness from the public regarding their taxpayer data.

Published: June 2022

Over the past decades, nations have accumulated international reserves to leverage foreign counterparts or protect themselves against external shocks resulting from integration. The factors identified by researchers as contributing to international reserve accumulation, however, have primarily been market factors. This study sets out to identify some distinct factors of the Nigerian economy. This is accomplished using annual data from 1970 to 2016. Several econometric methods, including the unit root test and Granger causality, were applied to test two hypotheses. The results showed substantial long-run correlations between the variables examined. Thus, the Error Correction Methodology (ECM) was used to investigate short-term and long-term relationships. Findings reveal that the accumulation of foreign reserves was significantly influenced in the long run only by aggregate exports EXPT and trade openness OPN since both variables were statistically significant at 5 percent. At the specified beak-point, there was an important structural change. Finally, Nigeria’s level of international reserves was significantly impacted by the quality of its institutions. Thus, the study recommends that policymakers maintain the current exchange rate regime in order to ensure world competitiveness. The research also suggested that the government take steps to improve and build strong institutions in order to promote transparency and accountability.

The military community is part of civil society, and there are common and special issues, all aimed at the permanence of the state, and securing its people, government, land and interests aimed at progress and prosperity. After the emergence of the Ottoman Empire and the development of its geographical area, it had to develop judicial systems and what related to it as functions and positions, such as the position (Judge Askar Kazasker) or (Judge Askar Kadıasker), thus ,the military judge was the one who deals with the issues of Sharia in the Ottoman Empire, and it is his authority to appoint judges, teachers and the legitimate official and repealing decisions of the judges, change them and make new decisions. In other words, the military judge objects to the decisions of the judges in the Court of Judicial Proceedings. The need for military judicial formations among the Ottomans was reflected in two things: the appointment of civil judges and teachers for organizating of judiciary and education, and for the settlement of disputes between soldiers in the army. these were the duties and the execution of other related transactions that established the Ottoman civil service. ‎ Key words: The Ottoman Empire, The Judiciary In The Ottoman Empire, The Military judge.
Modernleşme Sürecinde Türk Ailesinde Değişen Roller (Karaman ve Bursa Örneği)

Published: June 2022

Aile; anne, baba, çocuklar ve kan bağıyla birbirine bağlı olan kişilerden oluşan ve toplumun en küçük yapı taşı olarak nitelendirilebilen sosyal bir gruptur. İnsanlık tarihinin her döneminde, her toplumda ailenin var olduğu bilinmektedir. Yaşanan toplumsal gelişmelerle birlikte toplumda değişim kaçınılmazdır. Toplumun diğer kurumlarında olduğu gibi ailede de sürekli değişimler olmuştur. Geleneksel dönemden, modern döneme ve teknoloji çağı dediğimiz günümüze kadar ailede birçok değişim gözlemlenmiştir. Geleneksel aile yapısı bilinen şekliyle geniş aileden küçülerek, çekirdek aile yapısına dönüşmüştür. Aile kurumunun başta yapısı olmak üzere birçok işlevi değişmiştir. En belirgin şekliyle ailedeki değişim, kadının çalışma hayatına girmesi ve buna bağlı olarak kadın-erkek rollerindeki değişimle birlikte meydana gelmiştir. Modernlikle birlikte toplumsal yapılar, bireysel ilişkiler, birey davranışları değişmiştir. Bu değişimin belirgin bir şekilde görüldüğü en önemli kurum ailedir. Modernleşme süreciyle gerçekleşen rollerdeki değişimi kadın kendisi için oldukça pozitif karşılarken, geleneksel rolünü bırakmak istemeyen erkek zaman zaman değişimi kabullenmekte zorlanabilmekte ve bu durum aile içerisinde çatışmalara sebep olmaktadır. Ancak erkeklerin de özellikle modern kuşakla birlikte çoğunlukla değişime ayak uydurdukları gözlemlenmektedir. Çünkü çatışma ortamı karşılıklı olarak her iki tarafa da zarar vermekte ve aile kurumunu olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ailede meydana gelen değişimin, ailedeki rollere etkisini ve bölgeler arası farklılığı nitel araştırma ile ortaya koymaya çalışmaktır. Çalışmada ailede yaşanan rol değişim(ler)i, değişimin kuşaklar arası farklılığı, bu farklılığın kuşaklar kadar bölgeler arasında da meydana geldiği ve eğitim seviyesinin de kişilerin düşünceleri üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Bursa’nın batıda olması sebebiyle Karaman’dan daha modern ve değişimin daha hızlı olduğu düşünüldüğü için bu iki il seçildi. Bu anlamda Karaman ve Bursa illerinin kıyaslanması tam bir uygunluk sağlamış ve iki bölge arasında neredeyse bir kuşağa varan bir fark olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
Development Tools of Parasitic Paradigm: An African Perspective of Western Theories of Development and Reforms
Authors: Ibrahim Bashir Olaitan
Published: June 2022

The orthodox conceptualisation of development and its reforms which are rooted in Western schools of thought recognizes the existence of three categories of polities, viz: developed, developing and underdeveloped states. But the major questions that are of concern are: on what grounds do we submit that a country is developed, and the other is either developing or underdeveloped? Using a historical method of research and utilising mainly secondary sources of data, the paper attempts to answer these salient issues by critiquing the orthodox western development theories and reforms, citing a wide range of instances of faulty development reforms imposed on the global south by the West. The study found that the western driven ̳development reforms or policies‘ for the governments of the global North are incompatible with the dynamics and interests of the South. It also found that the western driven ̳development reforms or policies‘ were never intended to sustain the economies of the global south or worsen the North-South dichotomy. The paper concludes that every society has its own sense of development and that the orthodox conception of development, and its reforms are not sacrosanct given the peculiarities of the global South. The paper also posits that western driven ̳development reforms or policies‘ are ̳neo-colonial schemes‘ targeted at strengthening the core-periphery arrangements between the global North and the global South.

Characteristics of Waters During Transitional Season, Senimba Bay, Batam Indonesia. Senimba Bay is a water area in Batam City. It is necessary to develop the waters of Senimba Bay due to its location around the bay, which is still not arranged. Development such as changes in sea transportation lines and structuring the bay area requires Hidro-oceanography data, such as current data, waves, tides, and bathymetry. The research discusses the Gulf of Senimba waters' characteristics in the transition season, namely in April-May. The primary data taken is current data, bathymetry, waves, tides, and secondary data is wind data from ECMWF. Retrieval of current and wave data using ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) with several layers of depth. The method used for tides is Least-Square. Flow in the transition season in the Gulf of Senimba waters has a southwest direction during the high tide and northeast when low tides with mixed tides are double inclines, and the direction of the wind blows dominant towards the northeast. These waters have a minimum depth of –12.60 m Mean Sea Level (MSL) and maximum value –0.03 m MSL with current modeling. It produces no significant changes and only occurs in the direction of current in specific locations because location bathymetry factors influence it.

HIGHLIGHTS

Construction and shipping lanes are in dire need of hydro-oceanographic data processing, especially in industrial areas

The characteristics of the waters are very important to be seen every season of the year, this greatly determines the patterns and characteristics of waters

The waters of Senimba Bay, Batam are more dominant in producing sea surface currents caused by winds that point to the northeast

The depth of the sea is very important to get in doing hydro-oceanographic data modeling, this really determines the level of accuracy of the resulting model data

Published: June 2022

This paper presents an investigation reviewed on various research topics of the natural fibers in worldwide and Thailand. Practically, the traditional synthetic fibers for noise absorbed purpose are human and environmental harmful, thus the natural fibers might be the alternative way for consumers. The characteristics of natural fibers commonly are lightweight, high strength, but less pollution and low cost. Furthermore, the agriculture wastes would be value-added and reduced on the particulate matters (PM) 2.5 communities’ nuisance from the incineration affecting human health, environment and global warning in advance. In the present, the traditional materials using for noise absorbent are derived from synthetic fibers such as asbestos and fibers glass, mostly 20 - 45 % of asbestos fibers that World Health Organization (WHO) mentioned the hazard of asbestosis regarding on lung cancer, pleurisy lung cancer and ovarian cancer about 107,000 people per year. In general, the natural fibers are classified on 3 configurations: Cellular, fibrous and granular types which are their different properties on noise reduction. Also, this review particularly presents a sound absorption coefficient (SAC) that relates to the main importance factors (for example of physical, chemical, mechanical, etc.) including an analysis of the potential chances to utilize on the sustainability of these green natural materials, especially banana fibers in Thailand.

HIGHLIGHTS

Many natural fibers are used for noise control as an alternative to the traditional ones. Natural fiber composites appear to be cheaper, lighter, and more environmentally friendly than glass fiber composites

Many fibrous materials (for example, rice straw, coconut coir, banana fibers, etc.) have shown good sound-absorbing properties and heat insulation as well

The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of banana fibers, including the content of cellulose and lignin, can influence the ductility and elongation values, especially in the cultivated banana type

The development of banana fiber reinforced paper pulp bio-composites was observed for its sound absorption coefficient

Linking the fragmentary information provided in Kazuo Ishiguro’s “A Family Supper” (1982) to the first-person narrator’s unwillingness – or perhaps inability – to communicate, this brief note comments on a few passages that highlight the unforthcoming traits of the narrator.
George Eliot’s Visual Moments: The Construction of Character in Daniel Deronda
Authors: Håkansson Sara
Published: June 2022

George Eliot’s last novel, Daniel Deronda, is insistently concerned with the visual and with the problematics of looking. Like many of Eliot’s novels, it examines the visual in relation to notions of reliability, perspective, interpretation, representation, the subjective versus the objective, and the relation between observation and imagination. This paper is concerned with the creation and development of character as unveiled through visual moments within the diegesis. Focus is on the function of the visual between characters and the study proposes that visual moments – understood as the combination of looker, “lookee”, the manner of looking or seeing, the context of looking and the form of narration – significantly contribute to the development of characterisation. Furthermore, it suggests that George Eliot, to a large extent, locates characters’ personal beliefs and ideologies in visual exchanges. Visual moments in Daniel Deronda are identified with the aid of corpus linguistic methods.  Corpora aid to pinpoint the frequency and range of lexical items related to the visual and this study examines the lexeme look, specifically, in order to trace and unravel character construction and development. By so doing, it aims to complement or qualify the composition of character as presented through the combination of direct speech, free indirect discourse and the agency of a reflective and analytical narrative voice.
Reversives: The case of un-prefixation in verbs
Authors: Farshchi Sara
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the group of un-prefixed verbs or "reversives" with respect to their aspectual features. The aim is to see whether or not these verbs form a homogeneous group. With the new stream of words and the high "productivity" of the prefix un-, new terms are coined according to the needs and conceptualizations of language users. Examples of this sort include uninstall, unlike, unfriend, etc. These newly-coined terms do not easily fall into the conventional categories defined for the group of reversive verbs and show diversity with respect to their aspectual features. Therefore, the group of un-prefixed verbs cannot be defined by a set of simplistic word-formation rules.
