Effects of Language Variety and Word Availability in Commercial Advertisements on Listener’s Lexical Recall
Authors: Algernas Munerah , Aldholmi Yahya
Published: December 2021

Commercial advertisements in Arabic-speaking regions tend to alternate between dialectal Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic, but it is not yet clear whether language variety has any impact on listener’s lexical recall. Insight into this issue should help enterprises design their commercial advertisements in a linguistically intelligent manner. This study addresses two questions: 1) How does language variety (dialectal vs. standard) affect listener’s lexical recall in commercial advertisements? 2) Do listeners recall words that have appeared in dialectal advertisements better than those that did not appear in advertisements using the same variety? Fifteen Saudi participants responded to a forced-choice memory test with 24 yes-no questions (3 per advertisement) asking participants to report whether they heard a specific key word in eight advertisements that utilized different language varieties. The findings show that Arabic speakers tend to perceive both Modern Standard Arabic and dialectal Arabic in commercial advertisements similarly, but tend to recall the presence of a key word in an advertisement better than its absence. Future research may increase the sample size and examine more Arabic varieties.
Aggressive Language in Literature: A Pragmatic Approach
Authors: Abdul-kareem Kadhim Hanan , Sahib Mehdi Mohammed Wafaa
Published: December 2021

Aggression is a negative form of an anti-social behavior. It is produced because of a particular reason, desire, want, need, or due to the psychological state of the aggressor. It injures others physically or psychologically. Aggressive behaviors in human interactions cause discomfort and disharmony among interlocutors. The paper aims to identify how aggressive language manifests itself in the data under scrutiny in terms of the pragmatic paradigm. Two British literary works are the data; namely, Look Back in Anger by John Osborne (1956), and The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter (1957). This paper endeavors to answer the question of how aggressive language is represented in literature pragmatically? It is hoped to be significant to linguistic and psychological studies in that it clarifies how aggression is displayed in human communications linguistically. Qualitative and quantitative analyses are conducted to verify the findings. It ends with some concluding remarks, the most important of which are: insulting, belittling, ridiculing and threatening are prevalent speech acts; simile, hyperbole, metaphor and repetition appear due to Grice’s maxims breaching while the use of taboo words, calling names, or abusive words are the impoliteness strategies that are distinguished in the data.
A Need for a Substantive Change in Tertiary EFL Education
Authors: Jameel Aburizaizah Saeed
Published: December 2021

As Saudi Arabia is increasing its international influence and educational collaboration at a global scale, promoting the importance of English language teaching and learning in basic and tertiary education has been more prioritized in the country. Diverse programs are offered in universities, incorporating foundation year programs and curricula, which have become a must for anyone passionate about his/her future, and a strategic necessity for any university that aims at preparing its graduates for their career life. This paper investigates the birth of one of the newest approaches in EFL curriculum design that tries to re-launch the link between labor markets and demands of academic requirements, global society, on the one hand, and the learners’ needs on the other hand, and questions the opinions of foundation year students who completed one academic year of the newly launched curriculum in an English Language Institute at a Saudi public university, data collection employed a large-scale survey (n = 2000) that purposefully explores the students’ opinion on the new curriculum. Results obtained from 371 respondents reveal students’ satisfaction toward a clear improvement in their language skills, specifically presentation, vocabulary, and writing, and joint agreement that the course was autonomy supportive. It was also significant that the course increased the students’ intrinsic motivation and appreciation of the challenges and inspiration this curriculum had given to them. This paper is an extended piece of knowledge for further research. It provides an illustration of students’ deep thoughts on their target language needs for policymakers and curriculum designers to consider.

Per-pixel displacement mapping using cone tracing with correct silhouette

Per-pixel displacement mapping is a texture mapping technique that adds the microrelief effect to 3D surfaces without increasing the density of their corresponding meshes. This technique relies on ray tracing algorithms to find the intersection point between the viewing ray and the microrelief stored in a 2D texture called a depth map. This intersection makes it possible to deter-mine the corresponding pixel to produce an illusion of surface displacement instead of a real one. Cone tracing is one of the per-pixel displacement map-ping techniques for real-time rendering that relies on the encoding of the empty space around each pixel of the depth map. During the preprocessing stage, this space is encoded in the form of top-opened cones and then stored in a 2D texture, and during the rendering stage, it is used to converge more quickly to the intersection point. Cone tracing technique produces satisfactory results in the case of flat surfaces, but when it comes to curved surfaces, it does not support the silhouette at the edges of the 3D mesh, that is to say, the relief merges with the surface of the object, and in this case, it will not be rendered correctly. To overcome this limitation, we have presented two new cone tracing algorithms that allow taking into consideration the curvature of the 3D surface to determine the fragments belonging to the silhouette. These two algorithms are based on a quadratic approximation of the object geometry at each vertex of the 3D mesh. The main objective of this paper is to achieve a texture mapping with a realistic appearance and at a low cost so that the rendered objects will have real and complex details that are visible on their entire surface and without modifying their geometry. Based on the ray-tracing algorithm, our contribution can be useful for current graphics card generation, since the programmable units and the frameworks associated with the new graphics cards integrate today the technology of ray tracing

A life story forged by successive migrations: the case of Lucia
Authors: Machado Ida Lucia
Published: December 2021

The aims of this article are divided in two: (i) show that life stories of migrants are currently necessary because they contemplate a discursive look that is at once social, historical and psychological; (ii) to investigate the identity “mysteries” of the protagonist and narrator of the novel Lucia, written by Olga Canllo Salomon, which tells the life of a poor Argentinian girl who, through displacements/migrations, found her place in the world after being forced to flee the military regimen that ruled her country in the 1970s. This female character fits into what I call “transclass subjects” because she went through life’s hardships hoping to find something better. The article relies on the theoretical convergence of life stories according to Machado (2018; 2019) and the Semiolinguistics proposed by Charaudeau (1983; 2006), to which I also add the ideas of Cyrulnik (2015) to explain/apply the notion of resilience, a feature of the novel’s female protagonist. I hope this article serves as testimonial of the research I have been conducting for some years and to which I now add the figure of migrants. Finally, excerpts of Lucia are cited to illustrate the imaginaries of beliefs of her homeland as well as her emotions, fears, and audacity
As quase três décadas de produção em Historiografia Linguística brasileira: um panorama acerca da produção nacional
Authors: Oliveira Meryane Sousa , Anjos Marcelo Alessandro Limeira dos
Published: December 2021

Este artigo propõe-se a apresentar um mapeamento inicial acerca da produção brasileira em Historiografia Linguística (doravante, HL), nas quase três décadas de implementação da área. O objetivo deste trabalho é oferecer um panorama sobre o “estado da arte” da disciplina, isto é, busca-se apresentar o que se conhece sobre a HL a partir de pesquisas já realizadas e de materiais produzidos. Para tanto, foi feito um mapeamento da produção em HL, que contemplou apenas alguns pontos relevantes da produção brasileira, tais como: a quantidade de pesquisadores, de grupos em HL, de materiais já produzidos, de grupos de especialidade em HL por região do Brasil, além das temáticas mais abordadas em trabalhos acadêmicos e das disciplinas já ministradas em HL. A pesquisa contou, ainda, com um corpus constituído por informações retiradas do Lattes de pesquisadores que, de certo modo, evidenciam interesse pelo desenvolvimento de pesquisas na área ou que se autovinculam teórico-metodologicamente com a HL. O estudo será baseado nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da HL (ou caros a ela), seguindo categorias analíticas, como: grupos de especialidade (MURRAY, 1994), dimensão interna e externa (ALTMAN, 1998) e a relevância de pesquisas sobre o tempo presente (BÉDARIDA, 2006; RÉMOND, 2006; BASTOS E PALMA, 2008). As informações colhidas permitem reconhecer a HL como uma disciplina autêntica e legitimada pelas universidades e pelos pesquisadores brasileiros, sobretudo pela quantidade de materiais catalogados que, de certo modo, comprovam o esforço feito por parte dos pesquisadores em divulgar as ideias, a teoria e a metodologia que são próprias da área
“Em estado de memória”: a inscrição do trauma e as permanências de emoções dolorosas na obra da escritora argentina Tununa Mercado
Authors: Arcanjo Fábio Ávila
Published: December 2021

Este artigo objetiva analisar o livro Em estado de memória – escrito por Tununa Mercado e publicado, pela primeira vez, no ano de 1990 –, cujo enfoque gira em torno dos truncamentos de uma memória atravessada pela angústia do exílio, que irrompe em dois movimentos: a saída da pátria e o retorno, que trazem como consequência o esfacelamento identitário. O desenvolvimento da escrita será pontuado, em primeiro lugar, pelas noções de rememoração testemunhal e trauma, desenvolvidas por Seligmann-Silva (2003) e Cangi (2003), além das contribuições de Kristeva (1994), que pensa a figura do exilado como alguém que se vê constantemente ameaçado e tragado por lembranças de felicidades efêmeras e desastres vivenciados. Em segundo lugar, lidar-se-á com a mobilização das emoções, problematizadas por Lima (2016), com especial destaque para as categorias da melancolia e da nostalgia, partindo do princípio de que elas se configuram como efeitos de sentido proeminentes nos relatos de Tununa Mercado. Constata-se que tanto a saída forçada quanto o retorno se configuram em acontecimentos traumáticos, que deixam marcas na materialidade discursiva. Para o livro de Tununa Mercado, o gesto de leitura adotado é de que tais marcas encontram ressonância na inscrição das emoções, com destaque para a nostalgia e para a melancolia
Modes of subjectivation, ethos and the “Pathway of passions”: a theoretical-methodological apparatus for rhetorical analysis
Authors: Pimenta Ticiano Jardim , Figueiredo Maria Flávia
Published: December 2021

The text argues for the possibility of multimodal argumentative analyses. The main objective of this essay was to speculate on how an orator's modes of subjectivation, discursively materialized by ethos, provide evidence for the persuasion of audiences. In order to do that, we use the “Pathway of passions” theory as a theoretical-methodological analysis apparatus. The object of study was the official campaign video of the current state deputy for the State of São Paulo, Arthur Moledo do Val, published on the YouTube website, in 2018. The results of the work indicate that the analysis of multimodal texts is essential at the present time, since the most varied social practices, such as politics, have been using these materialities to persuade. It is also clear that ethos gains more argumentative relevance within a virtual communicative context. Furthermore, the rhetorical perspective of argumentation, transdisciplinary since its genesis, can provide the necessary means to carry out such an undertaking
The Main Stages of the Development of Incense Culture in China
Authors: Voytishek Elena E.
Published: December 2021

The article provides an overview of the main stages and trends in the development of the incense culture of China from antiquity to the present day. It covers religious and magical rituals, sanitary and hygiene, traditional medicine, a set of spiritual, healing, artistic, and game practices and rituals of Taoist-Buddhist and Confucian character. In China, over several millennia, a colossal experience has been accumulated in terms of the use of aromatic raw materials of plant, mineral and animal origin: thousands of treatises and reference books have been written, the properties of individual incense and their combinations have been studied, detailed classifications have been drawn up and principles of religious cults and ritual practices have been developed. Along with the applied value of incense, an aesthetic attitude toward incense aromas also developed, which repeatedly ensured periods of rapid flourishing of incense culture in antiquity, the Middle Ages and on the cusp of the New Age. Currently, the traditional aromatic culture in China is experiencing a period of upsurge and revival. This provides ample opportunities for its study in various fields of knowledge, which indicates the relevance and multidimensional nature of the study of this topic.
Reforms by Peter the Great as a Model for Japan in the Writings of the Late Edo Period
Authors: Shchepkin Vasilii V.
Published: December 2021

The first knowledge about Peter the Great seems to penetrate into Japan during the lifetime of this Russian emperor, as early as the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was only after first attempts of Siberian merchants to start trade relations with Japan’s northernmost domain of Matsumae when Japanese intellectuals began to study Russia and its history. By the end of the century, the image of Peter the Great as an outstanding ruler had formed in Japan, with his main achievement being the expansion of the country’s territory, after which European Russia suddenly shared a border with northern Japan. Katsuragawa Hoshu, a court physician and the author of one of the first descriptions of Russia, might be the first Japanese who implied Peter the Great’s activities as a model for Japan, pointing out his politics in spreading the foreign trade. Japanese intellectuals of the first half of the 19th century continued to use Peter the Great’s reforms as a possible model for Japan. Watanabe Kazan (1793–1841) in his “Note about the Situation in Foreign Countries” used the Russian emperor as evidence of a leader’s role in winning nature-based and geographical obstacles in a country’s development. Aizawa Seishisai (1782–1863) and later Sakuma Shozan (1811–1864) pointed out Peter’s leadership qualities and personal involvement in reforms. Based on the study of Peter’s activities, Aizawa managed to create the program of Japan’s reforming known as the “New thesis” (“Shinron”, 1825), while Sakuma promoted the necessity of Western learning, especially the development of navy and artillery. This allows to assume a great influence of the study of Peter the Great and Russian history in formulating the ideas of a “rich country and strong army” that became a cornerstone of national ideology in Meiji Japan.
The Deer and the Donkey: Indigenous Ritual and Survivance in Nicaragua’sEl Güegüense
Authors: Montgomery Ramírez Paul Edward
Published: December 2021

This article argues for a decolonial response to elite understandings of the Nicaraguan folk playEl Güegüense, highlighting a reading of Indigenous survivance. It examines the work from a perspective that seeks to eliminate the colonial interpretations placed on it by elite writers, thinkers, and nation builders. Through a review of the literature on the play, associated cultural expressions, and personal experiences and understandings, this article evaluates the work as a product of Indigenous culture and mentality rather than a product of mestizaje or other colonial forces. An analysis of the play’s dialogue, imagery, and dances is coupled with an Indigenous Chorotega perspective that demonstrates the spiritual significance of the work, in a discussion that seeks to lift the voices of Indigenous peoples of Pacific, North, and Central Nicaragua.

Candidate Advertisements and Afro-Brazilian Political Marginalization
Authors: Janusz Andrew , Campos Luiz Augusto
Published: December 2021

Television is an important political tool in Latin America. In recognition of its ability to shape public opinion and influence political behavior, Brazilian electoral authorities provide political parties with free television airtime in the weeks preceding elections. While Brazil’s publicly financed electoral program levels the playing field between parties, it may contribute to intraparty resource disparities. This article contends that racial considerations influence how party elites distribute television airtime and thus contribute to the political marginalization of Afro-Brazilians. Using original data from Rio de Janeiro’s 2012 municipal elections, it shows that party officials provide Afro-Brazilian candidates significantly less airtime than their white counterparts, even after controlling for theoretically important nonracial candidate characteristics. Moreover, it shows that there are racial differences in how candidates use the airtime they are awarded. Afro-Brazilian candidates are nearly ten times more likely than whites to focus on racial issues in their campaign ads. These results provide new insight about why Afro-Brazilians are rarely elected to public office and, when elected, the types of issues they may address.

Introduction Periodontitis is an oral inflammatory disease of significant importance, that leads to gingival inflammation, alveolar bone loss and has a high impact on the quality of life and general health. There has been a continuous interest in the scientific world to test new therapies and therapeutic materials for periodontal disease. One of the most critical tools to investigate mechanisms of periodontal pathogenesis and test new therapeutic materials are animal models. In addition, there is a wide range of materials used in periodontal therapy, especially in terms of bone augmentation, so choosing the ideal material is often difficult to achieve. Methodology In this article, we have evaluated two methods for testing artificially induced periodontal defects - intra-orally and extra-orally - the biological adaptation of the materials used in periodontal and bone regeneration techniques on animal models. Results We have created two protocols for the extra-oral and intra-oral approaches. By following them we have succesfully managed to create the periodontal defects and to apply the therapeutic materials. We have also made a comparison between the two methods, and the possibilities of materials that can be used. Conclusion Tests performed on animal models will remain an important asset for evaluating new approaches for the improvement of tissue regeneration therapies. As there are continuous advances in the study of dental materials, we also have to search for new, easy to perform, ethics-friendly methods to evaluate the biological response of these materials.

Introduction Formation of oronasal fistula is a common complication after surgical closure of cleft lip and palate (CLP). This study aimed to compare the maxillary sinus volume in 9-12-year-old CLP patients with and without an oronasal fistula who had undergone surgical closure of the cleft at 1 year of age, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methodology This descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted on CBCT scans of 50 patients with unilateral CLP who were between 9-12 years and had undergone surgical closure of the cleft at 1 year of age in two groups with and without an oronasal fistula (n=50). The patients were selected among those presenting to a private orthodontic office between 2001-2009 and already had CBCT scans taken for orthodontic treatment. The 3D CBCT scans were reconstructed with Mimics software, and the volume of the maxillary sinuses was measured on the images. Data were compared using t-test. Results The maxillary sinus volume was significantly smaller in patients with oronasal fistula compared with those without it (9510.7±492 mm3 vs. 10278.2±512 mm3, P<0.000). The maxillary sinus of the affected side was smaller than that of the unaffected side in both groups of patients with and without an oronasal fistula (P<0.05). Conclusion IImmature patients with unilateral CLP and oronasal fistula have a smaller maxillary sinus than unilateral CLP patients without an oronasal fistula, and may be at higher risk of respiratory infections.

For almost two years, humankind has been living in a coronavirus pandemic. It has gone from a complete misunderstanding of what to do and how to live and work to a step where informed and thoughtful decisions are already being made, and crisis management programs are being developed. The challenge for many was a new format of remote work, for which neither managers nor their subordinates were ready. The article considers the meaning of the term “telework” (“remote work”), the number of remote workers in the world before the pandemic, the peculiarities of the legal regulation of telework in Ukraine, and the number of people who were able to work from home after the introduction of quarantine in the country. The problems in management that complicate the transition to the remote format of work are analyzed. Authors list industries with a high and medium ability to work remotely; describe psychological aspects of unpreparedness for the transition to remote employment of managers and subordinates. Emphasis is placed on the availability of certain technical capabilities, as well as special knowledge, skills, and abilities to master tools for remote work, which highlights the need for continuous training of staff. It is noted that the classic management functions have also transformed: they take into account the prevention and leveling of the impact of negative factors associated with the pandemic. The key directions of managerial and organizational work during the pandemic are substantiated: ensuring the safety of workers, providing staff training, providing technical capabilities for remote work, and implementation of management functions. The general methodical approach and recommendations concerning the system of organizational measures having three structural blocks are presented: the general organizational measures; ensuring the safety of participants in bureaucratic procedures that require personal contact; providing technical capabilities for remote work. It is assumed that if the proposed measures are applied, enterprises and organizations will be able to increase their efficiency, operate in a crisis, and reduce the negative impact of the pandemic on workers.
