Authors: Rana Sobia , Noreen Saira , Jamal Saida
Published: January 2023

Bangladeshi novelist Fariha Roisin wrote Like a Bird (2020). Alyssa, the novel's protagonist, has lost her beauty and charm due to society's norms. Taliya narrates the protagonist's life. Life depends on society's standards, which lead to death, yet empowerment is needed to survive. Textual analysis underpins this qualitative investigation. Grice Atkinson's (1970) view on radical women's rights and snatching is accepted. Radical feminism shows how society treats women as sexual objects and attempts on their lives. Women are subjugated in society. Radical feminism investigates how men snatch women's rights. This theory suggests that women as a class require participation in social politics to overcome life's challenges. Radical feminism in the novel is examined in the study. The findings showed Alyssa's struggle to break her habit, and living way requires a new life despite the social constraints.
An Analysis of the Representation of Hybrid Culture and Transculturalism in Jean Rhys’s "Wide Sargasso Sea"
Authors: Batool Javairiah , Hafeez Amber , Siddiqui Safia
Published: January 2023

The current investigation utilizes textual analysis approach on Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea in the light of Transculturalism theory proposed by Jeff Lewis (2012). This study paves the way to provide hybridity as a product of culture and touches the theme of transculturalism which is compatible with globalization. This analysis explores the complexity of hybrid culture and how this culture prompts the racial identity. It is shown that hybridity is an alleged myth on which western culture is dominant. Wide Sargasso Sea gives the complete depiction of West Indies and it tells about the emancipation act of 1833 as well. It also describes few deep elements by mentioning characters who become the victim of this complexity. Doubtlessly transculture frees the human from boundaries and make the human as boundless entities with unique cultures but this concept “having no boundary” creates a lot of problems and the most imperative fact is “complexity of identities”. This study concludes with the assertion that hybrid culture prompts the racial identity.

A Review of China-Kazakhstan Economic Relationship during the 21st Century
Authors: Masood Sadoon , Khan Abdul Basit , Hamid Mairajul
Published: January 2023

Economic diplomacy promotes a state's national interest through economic apparatuses. China has efficiently applied this craft in Central Asia and other parts of the world through infrastructure development projects which in turn would make China better off in energy, economy and security. The Central Asian Republic of Kazakhstan is the largest land-locked country in the world which shares a long border with China. This former Soviet Republic has pivotal strategic potential due to its location and massive natural reserves. Since China's energy needs are ever-increasing because of its enormous industrial capacity so she is preferably considering Kazakhstan for energy partnership. Two out of six economic corridors of "Belt & Road Initiative" (BRI) of China are also passing through Kazakh Republic. These considerations make Kazakhstan specifically and Central Asia generally a centre of China's attention. In that perspective, the instant study investigates China's economic policy towards Kazakhstan. A qualitative method of reasoning is followed to find the results. It reveals that Kazakhstan has obtained a central role in fulfilling the energy requirements of China.
The Hijab Consumer Attitude toward Hijab Fashion Brand: A Case of the Developing Country
Authors: Khan Yousaf , Afridi Fakhr e Alam , Ahmad Wisal , Awan Shah Hussain
Published: January 2023

Hijabi women, a rapidly expanding market segment in the fashion business, are drawn to fashion companies in search of modern fashions while respecting their religious obligations. This study examined the degree to which hijabi women were content with the design calibre, how it reflected their social and self-identities, and the degree to which they were willing to pay greater costs for certain fashion names. To achieve this, Hijabi women (n=198) were given structured online surveys, and the data were analyzed using SmartPLS Software. The findings show that hijabistas' willingness to pay higher costs is significantly influenced by the trendy nature of the design and how it reflects their social identities, which prominently express their religious responsibilities and commitments. The study's findings have significant ramifications for the fashion industry's ability to handle opportunities in the growing market for hijabistas' products and to satisfy their needs as consumers of fashion.

Published: January 2023

The main purpose of this study is to empirically test the moderating role of team climate between servant leadership, employee ambidexterity and work performance. Data were collected from 180 teachers working in different schools in Punjab, Pakistan. The sample was drawn using the convenience sampling technique. The direct and indirect hypotheses were tested using two-step Partial Least Square (PLS) path modelling. SEM has been used to analyze data. The findings of the research study designated the effect of servant leadership on work performance as essential. The results further revealed that in the relationship between servant leadership and work performance, team climate operates as a moderator, and this framework was mediated by employee ambidexterity. The work performance of teachers can be improved when the servant leaders encourage teachers to adopt ambidextrous activities by being exploration and exploitation according to the situation to meet challenges and overcome constraints. The study will act as a policy guide for Punjab School administration in areas such as employee performance enhancement through servant leadership style and employee ambidexterity, as well as team climate. The results of this study show that the impacts are tremendous and beneficial for the educational institutes of Pakistan.

Our study contributes to save human capital for the betterment of nation specially in developing countries.
Illuminating Power Issues and Deconstructing Ideological Discursiveness: A CDA of Pakistani TV Stage Show "Khabardar"
Authors: Bashir Tayyaba , Naeem Waqasia , Jamal Saida
Published: January 2023

In Pakistani TV talk shows like “Khabardar”, power issues are illuminated, and various hidden ideologies are deconstructed for the achievement of hidden goals; it is the most popular and fascinating way to convey the ideas, perceptions, and effects of the various political statements from the leaders’ perspectives in the current scenario and circumstances. Such types of practices are decorated more with sophisticated vocabulary, witty compliments, and discursive linguistics strategies by character portrayal, particularly as in the characters of “Khabardar,” Critical discourse analysis is a linguistic tool which is helpful to reveal the such type of manipulation as it is displayed in “Khabardar” and CDA also clarifies how and why the characters are being criticized. Actually, the characters in talk shows like “Khabardar” are intentionally revealing their ignorance of linguistic phenomena as well as convey real facts about social and political systems through witty remarks. Through CDA, the current study is centred on political and social scenarios for the illumination of hidden language games. This research is purely qualitative based on Fairclough's three-dimensional models and critically analyzes “Khabardar,” three episodes for sociopolitical elements and language games with the help of CDA.

Modelo Imaginación, originalidad y expresión en el desarrollo de la creatividad de los estudiantes universitarios peruanos
Authors: Camposano-Córdova Álvaro Ignacio , Chachi Montes Lizardo , Salcedo-Nuñez Mariella , Franco-Carpio Cesar , Aguilar Bernardillo José Carlos
Published: January 2023

Esta investigación versa sobre un modelo de desarrollo de la creatividad que destaca la importancia del proceso de apartar a un lado lo que aprendió hasta ahora (desaprender) para reiniciar y aprender, más específicamente para aprender a imaginar. El ideal de aprender a lo largo de toda la vida solo será realidad cuando la formación inicial de los jóvenes se centre más en la alegría de descubrir, cuestionar e imaginar; en el desafío de «desaprender» las rutinas para aprender a ser y a crear. El docente tiene que estar dispuesto a reinventar y a aprender de nuevo con sus estudiantes. El modelo Imaginación, Originalidad y expresión (IOE) es un programa basado directamente en los trabajos realizados por Guilford y Torrance; trata de individualizar y humanizar el proceso de aprendizaje; supone una innovación en educación y pretende, más que animar a los alumnos a desarrollar su creatividad, mostrarles los caminos de cómo hacerlo. El modelo consta de un cuadro de capacidades que el alumno tiene que dominar, en cada área del currículo, con el objetivo de estimular la creatividad. Estas conductas pueden proyectarse en forma de pensamiento, sentimiento y acción.
« Gloire, amour et cinéma »
Authors: Juan Myriam
Published: January 2023

Si le cinéma a permis à certains de ses artistes d’accéder à une renommée internationale sans avoir à entreprendre de longues tournées à l’étranger, les stars américaines n’en sont pas moins nombreuses à voyager de par le monde dans les années 1920. Étape quasi obligée dans leurs parcours, la France reçoit ainsi régulièrement, au cours de la décennie, des étoiles hollywoodiennes officiellement venues se reposer de leur dur labeur au pays des movies. À travers des récits de ces séjours proposés par la presse et par les artistes eux-mêmes, des photographies et des actualités filmées, cet article entreprend d’étudier les significations recouvertes par ces moments de pure représentation. Il montre comment l’accueil réservé aux vedettes américaines est révélateur des imaginaires qu’elles véhiculent, à titre individuel comme au titre de stars, mais aussi combien ces voyages promeuvent une image flatteuse de la France, dont ils vantent l’art de vivre et nourrissent les rêves de grandeur.
La nature morte cinématographique de Thomas H. Ince à Louis Delluc
Authors: Gignac Mélissa
Published: January 2023

Réputé par de nombreuses sources pour avoir été inventé par les Américains, le close up ou close shot est souvent désigné par le terme de « nature morte » dans les textes des premiers critiques et théoriciens français. Ce texte entend interroger cette forme et ses désignations souvent fantasmées depuis la France. L'expression permet de penser la picturalité des images cinématographiques et donc l'artisticité du cinéma. Révélant une idée de mise en scène davantage qu'une réalité historique, elle va aussi permettre l'émergence en France d'une esthétique innovante, notamment à travers les films de Louis Delluc.
Faire art ensemble : affinités électives et communautés temporaires
Authors: Riou Pascale
Published: January 2023

Cet article souhaite mettre en commun plusieurs questionnements issus d’observations, de participations observantes et de pratiques du faire art ensemble dans le champ de l’art contemporain. Quatre cas sont étudiés : l’Association pour l’Agencement des Activités (Grenoble, France), Doings or Not (Estonie), Drive-In (Corée-France) et Idoine (Lyon, France). Ces différentes expériences ont un enjeu commun, celui de la communauté temporaire fondée sur les affinités électives. Ces quelques exemples de manières d’œuvrer à plusieurs amènent ainsi plusieurs problématiques : l’agencement de singularités, le partage du sensible, la constitution de réseaux, la mise en commun de rythmes et d’espaces partagés, la recherche de la justesse. L’envie et le plaisir, moteurs de ces expériences, sont mis à l’épreuve du réel mais en restent le fondement.
Le cabinet de curiosités de Jan et Eva Švankmajer
Authors: Nun Yaël Ben , Ruivo Céline
Published: January 2023

La réalisation de films d’animation donne lieu à la création d’une quantité considérable de documents et d’objets de production : dessins de concepts, story‑boards, études de personnages, marionnettes, décors ou accessoires. Ces objets sont conservés dans les cinémathèques et les musées comme objets patrimoniaux. Dans le cadre de cet article nous proposons de nous intéresser plus spécifiquement aux objets mis en scène dans les films, ceux que la théoricienne du cinéma Joséphine Jibokji nomme « objets de cinéma », et d’interroger leur statut, une fois sortis du film et conservés par les musées. En plus de questionner différents exemples de scénographies présentes dans divers musées, nous interrogeons également l'identification et le catalogage des objets de scène venant du cinéma. En prenant comme cas d’étude les œuvres des artistes tchèques Jan et Eva Švankmajer conservées aux Musées‑d’Annecy, nous souhaitons explorer de nouvelles pistes de réflexion sur le statut de ces objets qui « prennent vie » par la technique du stop‑motion (animation d’objets en volume). L’analyse de ces œuvres par le prisme du concept du cabinet de curiosités, omniprésent dans les différentes facettes de la création de Jan Švankmajer, contribuera à la réflexion sur la définition des objets de cinéma, tout en révélant la manière dont le couple d’artistes défie le statut habituel de ces derniers, allant jusqu’à renverser le rapport de subordination entre les films et les objets.
La conservation de marionnettes de télévision emblématiques du xxe siècle
Authors: Beaufils Thomas
Published: January 2023

Cet article fait le récit du devenir de « marionnettes de télévision » parmi les plus emblématiques et renommées du xxe siècle en France, en Grande‑Bretagne, aux États‑Unis et aux Pays‑Bas, et se focalise plus particulièrement sur la question de leur conservation au sein d’institutions muséales. Les marionnettes y sont présentées selon leur technique de manipulation, à savoir marionnettes ventriloques, marionnettes à fils, muppets et animations en volume. Ce texte interroge également la nécessité ou non de la collecte et de la patrimonialisation d’objets qui ont certes suscité l'adhésion populaire grâce à la diffusion par des médias de masse d’émissions les mettant en scène, mais dont la conservation peut s’avérer frivole et inutile d’autant plus qu’il est aujourd’hui possible de consulter les archives audiovisuelles de ces programmes. Pourtant, ces marionnettes de télévision présentent un intérêt patrimonial et scientifique non négligeable si l’on s’en tient à l’avis de plusieurs institutions muséales. Les intégrer dans des collections ne semble en définitive pas si saugrenu.
La création selon Meret Oppenheim
Authors: Willemin Simon
Published: January 2023

La production artistique de Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) témoigne de son intérêt pour les objets naturels, pour les objets fabriqués par des humains ainsi que pour les objets manufacturés, pourtant, malgré le recours fréquent à des matériaux variés, elle n’a associé son nom à aucun objet trouvé ou ready made ; les objets qui lui sont associés sont issus d’un processus d’appropriation qui passe par la modification ou par l’assemblage. À partir d’articles, d’entretiens, de correspondances et de notes, il s’agit de rendre compte de cette absence en s’intéressant à la manière dont Oppenheim décrit la création artistique.
Aux zones frontières de l’art brut : entre appropriation et dépendance au territoire de l’autre de l’art
Authors: Beuvin Flavie
Published: January 2023

En nous ressaisissant des mots dont Jean Dubuffet use pour nommer et construire l’art brut qu’il idéalise et qu’il découvre, il s’agit pour nous d’interroger la place apparemment marginale que l’art brut occupe et ainsi les frontières que Dubuffet dessine autour de lui. Nous souhaitons ainsi revenir à la nature du discours théorique de Dubuffet notamment à travers un des rapports dialectiques fondateurs de la pensée du peintre, celui opposant l’art brut et l’art dit « culturel ». Le regard et le récit portés sur les créations des femmes de l’art brut décrites par Dubuffet dans les nombreux fascicules de L’Art brut précisent ensuite la façon dont celui-ci envisage la marge qu’occupent les créateurs et créatrices de l’art brut. Les textes de Dubuffet semblent ainsi relater le destin exotique de créatrices qui sont les figures magiques d’une métamorphose : par les voies de la création, ces femmes du commun deviennent des créatrices autres, hors du commun. Cette métamorphose par l’expérience de la création fait sortir les créatrices de leur « normalité » – terme que Dubuffet utilise pour décrire Laure Pigeon – quotidienne et fait advenir chez elles des impulsions mêlant sauvagerie et animalité. Cette rhétorique récurrente de Dubuffet nous amène à considérer sa quête d’art brut dans un réseau de connexions qui hybride à la fois l’exercice de son pouvoir sur ces créations, fruits d’une expropriation, et son rapport de dépendance aux créateurs et créatrices d’art brut qui nourrissent son travail de peintre.
Le caillou, mythologie matérielle de l'Art Brut
Authors: Goutain Pauline
Published: January 2023

Jean Dubuffet, en inventant le concept d'art brut et en initiant une aventure collective au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, prétend remettre en question non seulement les codes esthétiques mais aussi idéologiques de son temps. En prenant pour appui des œuvres réalisées dans les circuits non officiels de l'art, le discours sur l'art brut véhicule un imaginaire « anti-moderne » où la nature, le peu, le non élaboré, la trouvaille occupent une large part. Chacune de ces notions constitue autant de mythes qui se surajoutent à la matérialité des œuvres pour contrer la notion d’« arts culturels » inventée par Dubuffet. Le caillou est une de ces mythologies matérielles. Trouvé au sol, ne requérant aucune transformation, seulement celle de l'imagination, il n'est pas coûteux à la différence du marbre. Les œuvres en caillou s'opposent aux sculptures académiques. Leur collecte relève d’un modèle agraire – celui de la « récolte » – et non du savoir-faire développé en atelier. Leur caractère informe se prête aux plaisirs de l'imagination. Offert par la nature, il est le symbole d'une beauté simple, naturelle, qui nous invite à être attentif à ce qui est à nos pieds, au moment présent. À partir d'exemples concrets tirés de la Collection de l'Art Brut, rassemblés entre 1945 et 1970 – les silex de Juva, en particulier –, cet article montre que le caillou est transformé par les compagnons de l'Art Brut en objet porteur de valeurs « anti-culturelles », voire d'une idéologie qui replace la nature au centre de la vie et de l'art.

The last several decades have seen cardiovascular illnesses become the leading cause of mortality globally, in both industrialized and developing nations alike. Clinical staff monitoring and early diagnosis of heart disorders can both lower death rates. However, because it takes more intelligence, time, and skill, precise cardiac disease identification in every case and 24-hour patient consultation by a doctor are not yet possible. With the use of machine learning techniques, a preliminary concept for a cloud-based system to predict heart disease has been put out in this study. An effective machine-learning strategy should be applied for the precise identification of cardiac illness. This method was created after a thorough comparison of many machine learning methods in MATLAB coding. The application may thus be utilized by the medical professionals to monitor the patient’s real-time sensor data and begin live video streaming if urgent care is necessary. The ability of the suggested method to notify both parties right away when the patient checks the stage while the doctor isn’t there was a crucial component.

Published: January 2023

PET (positron emission tomography) và các dược chất phóng xạ phát positron đang ngày càng trở nên phổ biến. Từ năm 1991, 3’-deoxy-3’-18Fluorine-Fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) đã được nghiên cứu tổng hợp như là một dược chất phóng xạ PET trong ghi hình khả năng tăng sinh của khối u. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi tiến hành đánh giá mức độ hấp thu dược chất phóng xạ (%ID/g) của dược chất phóng xạ 18F-FLT trên chuột thí nghiệm được gây u từ hai dòng tế bào là ung thư vú và ung thư phổi. Nguyên liệu và phương pháp: Dòng tế bào ung thư vú (4T1) và dòng tế bào ung thư phổi (LLC) được nuôi cấy và tạo u trên dòng chuột BALB/c. Sau đó chuột được tiêm dược chất phóng xạ và mổ lấy khối u và các cơ quan: máu, xương, thận, gan, lách, cơ tại các thời điểm 20, 40, 60, 90 và 120 phút sau tiêm. Sử dụng thiết bị đo phổ gamma để tính toán mức độ hấp thu phóng xạ tại khối u và các cơ quan.

Do Voices Really Make a Difference? Investigating the Value of Local Video Narratives in Risk Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Sea-Level Rise
Authors: Richards Daniel P. , Stephens Sonia H.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The authors present the results of an empirical study investigating strategies for localizing risk messaging pertaining to sea-level rise (SLR) and flooding. We argue that continued testing is necessary to help bolster arguments about the value of localization design
practices and that technical communication as a field is positioned well to lead the charge in such testing.
 Method: The authors conducted a mixed methods research study to discover whether video stories from local residents change user perceptions or concern about SLR as
a risk. More than 100 survey responses were collected to track any relation between concern and understanding and modality of storytelling, and focus groups were led with 13 survey respondents to add a deeper understanding of effective strategies for localization.
 Results:
The data show that video and textual storytelling do not differ as much as expected in the context of decision-support tools for SLR.
 Conclusion: Although video narratives for localization did not affect user perception or concern about SLR more strongly than text quotes
did, participants felt that the localization efforts were compelling. Participants suggested ways in which both video and textual narratives might be more effectively used to support audiences' understanding of SLR. As a result of their suggestions, we note future research topics and testing
methods to explore risk localization best practices.
Everyone Is Always Aging: Glocalizing Digital Experiences by Considering the Oldest Cohort of Users
Authors: Smith Allegra W.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Older adults (aged 65+) represent an under-explored group in technical communication, despite rapid population aging. Designing for older age cohorts holds potential for "glocalization"—integrating the local and the global—through attending to the needs of
a specific user community while benefiting all users through interventions that prioritize usability, accessibility, and generational cultures.
 Method: Using structured task analysis methods, I investigated the steps and decisions that six adults aged 75+ took to accomplish
five increasingly difficult tasks.
 Results: Though participants were easily able to access the Internet and find a news story online, they faced difficulties when attempting to modify the homepage on their browser, use mapping tools to determine the distance between two locations,
and identify a government document answering a question about income taxes. These findings point to four key considerations when designing for older age cohorts: user customization and personalization, information literacy, deceptive patterns, and mismatched mental models stemming from gaps
between declarative and procedural knowledge. Addressing these needs through targeted design, documentation, and education can help the oldest user group to realize their technological goals.
 Conclusion: This very localized study of a specific group of users has
global implications for research and practice. Designing experiences for the oldest adults provides critical opportunities for usability, because though they represent a specific user community, designing for them and alongside them actually benefits all users, because everyone is always
aging. Thus, accounting for aging bodies and minds serves as an important form of glocalization for designers of communication.

Published: January 2023

This article discusses how speech recognition can improve security for persons and property while making door systems more accessible to people with impairments. Facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and iris scanning are examples of popular biometric technologies. Based on features and qualities used to identify various people for the safety and security of their lives and property, these biometric identifiers are distinctive and one-of a-kind. Sadly, these biometrics are vulnerable to hacking. A pin or password can be cracked, a person's finger can be severed to perform a fingerprint scan, an eyeball can be removed to perform an iris scan, and a person's photo can be used to perform facial recognition. With the help of speech recognition biometrics technology, these obstacles can be reduced. Technology for voice biometrics is more precise, swifter, more practical. In order to give individuals a quick way to open their doors and simultaneously protect their safety and security, this research study intends to design a door access control system that makes use of voice recognition algorithms. The testing phase and the training phase are the two phases that make up the system. The attributes of a speech are extracted and stored in a database during the training phase. Using voice recognition algorithms and vocal models, the intents from a person's address would be derived during the testing phase. A user is given access if a match is detected.

Published: January 2023

Development of human resources is indispensable for the capacity building of any Nation. HRD is a broad term as it includes both the quantitative and the qualitative aspects of populace. India has one of the largest reservoirs of HRD in the world. In India a good number of industrial and commercial organizations have realized that human resource is the most important element in the field of success and failure of an organization. HRD is must for an organization to come out of its indolent stage to undertake its diversification programme, to improve its traditional services and systems, to become more dynamic and to play leadership effectively to ensure stability and growth of the organization. Development cannot take place unless a favourable climate for it is created at the top which extends down HRD through each level of the organization. It may come to a standstill if encouragement is not available to the person concerned. The HRD concept is based on recognition of human potential inherent in every employee. Only, dynamic employee can build dynamic organization. Self motivated and competent workforce makes organizations to grow and achieve goals. The most precious development asset of any organization is its human resources. The day-to-day development of science & technology and vast changes that are taking place in every walk of life make it more essential to take the best advantage of human resources. Maharatna Companies are one of the PSU in India with a Navratna status; listed on the Indian Stock Exchange; with an average net profit of more than Rs. 5,000 crore after paying tax; average annual turnover of Rs. 25,000 crore and an average annual net worth of Rs. 15,000 crore for 3 years each. This research paper focuses on a comparative study of HRD interventions namely Performance Appraisal, Career Development, Training programmes & Potential Appraisal systems of the “Maharatna Companies in India” under study i.e. BHEL & IOCL.

A Review of Environmental Impacts of Cereal Grain Supply Chains
Authors: Rosentrater Kurt
Published: January 2023

The global reliance upon cereal grains, not only for domestic consumption, but also for export in international markets continues to be critical to many countries’ economies. The ecological impacts of the various steps along the supply chain required to get product to the consumer, whether it be fuel, feed, or food, have significant environmental impacts. Ecological assessments have focused historically upon carbon footprints, but by considering other measures of life cycle assessments (LCA), we can come to a better understanding of the environmental significance that some of the most critical crops in our world have. The goal of this study was to compile environmental impact data from published literature and conduct synthesis to determine ecological trends. Published data was compiled and analyzed to determine where critical environmental shortcomings were in the cereal grain industry. Analysis of these data will enable recommendations to be made concerning the weaker spots in supply chains (i.e., more environmentally impactful). In addition, by expanding the geographic locations to an international scale, this study will allow for environmental impacts to be assessed based on various approaches found across the globe. As long as our world continues to place significant emphasis on cereal grains as foundations for societies, we need to better understand the ramifications of these critical crops' ecological impacts and how best to address them.
