IDENTITE DE L’ENONCIATEUR ET ENJEUX DU DISCOURS RAPPORTE DANS UN ARTICLE DE PRESSE
Authors: Gnabro Ambroise Tahouo
Published: September 2023

La question de l’identité et de la responsabilité du sujet énonciateur que nous abordons ici est liée à la problématique de la prise en charge ou non du discours par l’énonciateur. Le discours rapporté nous permet de comprendre comment le locuteur parvient à s’approprier les propos d’autrui sans toutefois en assumer la responsabilité. Cet article traite de la construction de la présence du locuteur dans le discours rapporté, plus particulièrement du discours direct (DD) et indirect (DI), dans la presse écrite. Il s’agit de voir comment les journalistes se servent du discours rapporté pour étayer leur argumentation, tout en sachant que son emploi obéit à une intentionnalité indéniable.

 

The question of the identity and responsibility of the enunciator subject that we are addressing here is linked to the issue of whether or not the enunciator takes charge of the discourse. Reported speech allows us to understand how the speaker manages to appropriate the words of others without however assuming responsibility for them. This article deals with the construction of speaker presence in reported speech, more specifically direct (DD) and indirect (DI) speech, in the written press. It is a question of seeing how journalists use the reported speech to support their argument, while knowing that its use obeys an undeniable intentionality.

Published: September 2023

This study examines the influence of self-concept and peer attachment on career maturity in Vocational High School "X" students in Ciamis, West Java. The method used is correlational quantitative research. The study population consisted of 576 students, with a sample of 234 students selected using simple random sampling. The data collection instruments used included a career maturity scale (α=0.732) modified from career maturity inventory form c, a self-concept scale (α=0.826) modified from the questionnaire of self-concept 36, and a peer attachment scale (α=0.748) revised from an inventory of parent and peer attachment. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study show that self-concept and peer attachment have an essential role in determining the career maturity of Vocational High School students. Partially, it was found that self-concept influenced students' career maturity, while peer attachment did not significantly influence students' career maturity. Nonetheless, it should be noted that social factors remain essential in forming students' career maturity, although they were not considerably proven in this study. Therefore, it is recommended that subsequent researchers investigate other external variables that might affect students' career maturity.

Published: September 2023

A greenhouse experiment was conducted at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi during 2017-18 to study the effect of low molecular weight organic acids on phosphorus fractions and its content in wheat and soybean. The results revealed that the applied LMWOAs showed significant increase in the plant available P fraction over control and oxalic acid application out rated the citric acid. The applied citric acid was found to be significantly superior in decreasing the Al and Fe bound P, whereas, oxalic acid was superior to citric acid in reducing the Ca bound P. Application of 20 mg LMWOAs kg-1 was found to be better dose in enhancing the available P and reducing the Al, Fe and Ca bound P. The applied 100% recommended dose of phosphorus showed significant increase in available, calcium, aluminium and reductant P fractions over other levels of applied P. The application of LMWOAs significantly enhanced the P content in both wheat and soybean crops. However, both oxalic and citric acid were found at par with each other in enhancing the P content in the crops. Overall, 15 mg LMWOAs kg-1 was found to be economic level in enhancing the P content in the crops and 100% RDP application showed significant enhancement in grain, straw and root P content over other levels of applied P. The LMWOAs are actually the organic compounds, so there will be no adverse effect of these products application to the soil compared to the inorganic chemicals and fertilizers

A field experiment was carried out in Hill Zone of Assam from 2017 to 2019 with the objective of identifying mulch types on soil moisture retention, soil physical and chemical properties, growth and yield of pineapple (Ananas comosus) grown in hill slopes under farmers’ field condition. The treatments consisting of mulching with black polythene, dhaincha (Sesbania aquleata) as mulch, frequent slashing of weeds, soil mulching (soil mounding) and farmers practice without any mulch as control were evaluated in a randomized block design. Soil moisture content at 0-30cm depth was significantly different among the mulching methods and highest value of 14.2% at 0-30cm depth at harvesting was recorded in black polythene followed by slashing of weeds (13.1) and minimum in farmers practice. Soil texture was not affected by various mulches but there was a decline in bulk density with mulching and minimum value of 1.23 kg m-3 was recorded under slashing of weeds. Higher organic carbon (8.8 g kg-1 ), available nitrogen (341.8 kg ha-1 ), phosphorus (9.5 kg ha-1 ) and potassium (100.6 kg ha-1 ) were recorded in organic mulches i.e. slashing of weeds and dhaincha. The highest yield attributing characters and fruit yield of 38.3t ha-1 was recorded in the black polythene treatment followed by dhaincha as mulch (36.5 t ha-1 ) and frequent slashing of weed (35.6 t ha-1 ). Soil mulching and farmers practice recorded significantly lower yield than other treatments.

Published: September 2023

Present study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of long-term fertilizers application on substrate induced soil respiration (SIR), their resistance and resilience against heat stress (48°C for 24 h) of an acidic soil under sub-humid climate. To achieve this, soil samples (0-15 cm depth) were collected from five treatments viz. control, 100% NP (NP), 100%NPK (NPK), 100% NPK+FYM (NPKF) and 100% NPK + lime (NPKL) from longterm fertilizer experiment (LTFE), Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi (since 1971) at pod formation stage of soybean crop (2018).Resistance and resilience capacity of soil SIR being analyzed at 1 and 30 days after heat stress (DAS). Results revealed that, SIR was significantly affected by long-term fertilization and heat stress. Balanced fertilization along with lime application (NPKL) had significantly higher SIR rate (10.78 mg CO2 g/soil/ h) followed NPKF, NPK, control and NP treatments. After 1 DAS, the SIR increased at 24 hour of substrate addition. However, during the 24-48 hours, the SIR value decreased significantly and maximum reduction was noticed under control treatments (47%). Cumulative SIR decreased significantly after heat stress, maximum reduction being in NPKL and NPKF treatments, whereas minimum under control. NPKF = NPKL treatments recorded highest resistance (0.86) followed by NP (0.82) > NPK (0.79) > control (0.61).Resilience index of NPKL (0.52) and NPKF (0.50) were highest and superior over other treatments. In nutshell, SIR emerged as a good indicator to asses’resistance, resilience capacity of soil against heat stress.

Published: September 2023

An experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Navgaon (Alwar) during kharif season of 2019 to study the genetic divergence among 31 genotypes of pearl millet based on quantitative data of grain yield and its nine component traits using hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis (PCA). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that three components with eigen values more than one accounted for about 73.35% of the total variation among nine quantitative characters responsible for seed yield in pearl millet genotypes. The principal components PC1, PC2 and PC3 contributed about 37.44%, 22.63% and 13.28%, respectively to the total variation. The first principal component exhibited high positive loading for grain yield, stover yield, plant height, spike length, spike thickness and 1000-grain weight which contributed more to the diversity. The second principal component showed high loading for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and 1000-grain weight. Cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into five clusters indicated that grain yield, stover yield, 1000-grain weight and days to maturity contributed maximum towards genetic divergence. The grouping patterns of genotypes in principal component analysis and cluster analysis were almost in agreement with each other with minor deviations. The maximum inter cluster distance between genotypes of cluster V and III with cluster II, indicate that genotypes included in these clusters have high heterotic response and produce better seggregants of used in Pearl millet hybridization programme.

Available macronutrient status in the soil of Chotanahalli micro-watershed (468 ha) in Kunigal Taluk, Tumkur district was studied with the aid of GIS. Forty three surface soil samples at 320 m grid were collected from Chotanahalli micro-watershed and assessed for the soil organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Results revealed that the ranges of SOC, available N, P and K were 2.1 to 7.5 g kg-1 , 282.2 to 526.8 kg N ha-1 , 8.0 to 67.6 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 124.3 to 338.5 kg K2O ha-1 , respectively. Spatial interpolation revealed that majority (321 ha) of the watershed was low in SOC, whereas the whole watershed was medium in available N, P and K. In case of secondary nutrients, available S was found to be medium in majority (423.4 ha) of the area, whereas, exchangeable Ca and Mg were found sufficient in the whole watershed. The Nutrient Index values indicated that the micro-watershed was under “medium” category for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, whereas, it fell under “low” category with respect to organic carbon. Measures to improve the status of SOC should be taken up in the study area for sustainable production of crop.

Artificial intelligent (AI) permits organizations to empower the information to show the framework how to tackle the central issue with AI calculations and how to get better after some time. The present undertakings are assaulted with information. To drive better business decisions, they need to sort out it. Distributed computing is a huge term for all Data Science and Machine Learning Enthusiasts. It is far-fetched that you probably won’t have run over it, even as a juvenile. The most important issue is that this type of security is needed for the cloud services. A clear explanation for this is that as the dataset develops, i.e., more models and features are added, the AI model ends up being more multifaceted. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a standard convention used to set up a safe and confirmed correspondence channel between two gatherings through a virtual private network (VPN). The convention guarantees security for VPN exchange, remote host and organization access.

Hope and the Kantian Legacy
Authors: Tomaszewska Anna , Pollok Anne , Sandkaulen Birgit , Fugate Courtney D.
Published: September 2023

Hope is understood to be a significant part of human experience, including for motivating behaviour, promoting happiness, and justifying a conception of the self as having agency. Yet substantial gaps remain regarding the development of the concept of hope in the history of philosophy. This collection addresses this gap by reconstructing and analysing a variety of approaches to hope in late 18th- and 19th-century German philosophy.

In 1781, Kant’s idea of a “rational hope” shifted the terms of discussion about hope and its role for human self-understanding. In the 19th century, a wide-ranging debate over the meaning and function of hope emerged in response to his work. Drawing on expertise from a diverse group of contributors, this collection explores perspectives on hope from Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Schopenhauer, J. S. Beck, J. C. Hoffbauer, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Georg Friedrich Creuzer, Kierkegaard and others. Chapters consider different aspects of the concept of hope, including the rationality of hope, appropriate and inappropriate applications of hope and the function of hope in relation to religion and society.

The result is a valuable collection covering a century of the role of hope in shaping cognitive attitudes and constructing social, political and moral communities. As an overview of philosophical approaches to hope during this period, including by philosophers who are seldom studied today, the collection constitutes a valuable resource for exploring the development of this important concept in post-Kantian German philosophy.

Understanding Latino History
Authors: Mitchell Pablo R.
Published: September 2023

This Latino history textbook is an outstanding reference source that covers many different Latino groups within a single comprehensive narrative.

Latinos make up a vibrant, expanding, and extremely diverse population with a history of being in the Americas that dates back to the early 16th century. Today, Latinos represent the largest ethnic minority group in the United States, yet the history of Latinos is largely unknown to the wider nation. This book tells the larger "story" of Latinos in the United States and describes how they represent a breadth of ethnicities, addressing not only those in very large numbers from countries such as Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and El Salvador, but also Latino people from Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Panama, and Costa Rica, as well as indigenous Oaxacans and Mixtecos, among others.

Organized chronologically, the book's coverage begins with the arrival of the Spanish in the Americas around 1500 and stretches to the present. Each chapter discusses a particular time period and addresses multiple Latino groups in the United States together in the same narrative. The text is supplemented with interesting sidebars that spotlight topics such as Latino sports figures, authentic recipes, and Latino actors and pop stars. These sidebars help to engage readers and assist them in better understanding the wide range of "the Latino American experience" in the modern context.
