IoT Sensor Network Using ESPAR Antenna Based on Beam Scanning Method for Direction Finding
Authors: Rahman Md. Moklesur , Ryu Heung-Gyoon
Published: September 2022

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) systems based on Internet of Things (IoT) have developed rapidly in recent years. However, interference is a major obstacle to relatively long-distance communications in such networks. It is also very complicated and challenging to fix the exact location of tags in the IoT sensor networks. To overcome these problems, in this paper, an electronic steering parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna used as a beamformer to handle the interference and extend the communication range from the sensors or tags is suggested. In addition, an efficient method, namely beam scanning (BS), is proposed to find the directions of tags. The beam scanning method (BSM) can be used for the selective beam switching (SBS) system by designing an ESPAR or array of ESPAR antennas with the help of CST studio. The antennas exhibit higher gain (8.17 dBi, 11.40 dBi) and proper radiation pattern at a particular direction. In addition, the MATLAB simulation findings indicate that the proposed BSM algorithm provides longer communication range, i.e., 25 m. In order to maximize range while avoiding interference, it is necessary to determine the direction and precise orientation of the tag in the WSN communication systems. Consequently, this work could be applied to an IoT sensor network such as an electrocardiogram system by providing better advantages such as higher localization accuracy and longer operating range.

In the future space-borne gravitational wave (GW) detector, the optical transponder scheme, i.e., the phase-locking scheme, will be utilized so as to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this case, the whole constellation will share one common laser equivalently, which enables the considerable simplification of time delay interferometry (TDI) combinations. Recently, and remarkably, the unique combination of TDI and optical frequency comb (OFC) has shown a bright prospect for the future space-borne missions. When the laser frequency noise and the clock noise are synchronized using OFC as the bridge, the data streams will be reasonably simplified. However, in the optical transponder scheme, the weak-light phase-locking (WLPL) loops could bring additional noises. In this work, we analyze the phase-locking scheme with OFC and transfer characteristics of the noises including the WLPL noise. We show that the WLPL noise can be efficiently reduced by using the specific TDI combination, and the cooperation of phase-locking and frequency combs can greatly simplify the post-processing.

Wide area surveillance has become of critical importance, particularly for border control between countries where vast forested land border areas are to be monitored. In this paper, we address the problem of the automatic detection of activity in forbidden areas, namely forested land border areas. In order to avoid false detections, often triggered in dense vegetation with single sensors such as radar, we present a multi sensor fusion and tracking system using passive infrared detectors in combination with automatic person detection from thermal and visual video camera images. The approach combines weighted maps with a rule engine that associates data from multiple weighted maps. The proposed approach is tested on real data collected by the EU FOLDOUT project in a location representative of a range of forested EU borders. The results show that the proposed approach can eliminate single sensor false detections and enhance accuracy by up to 50%.
Comparative Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence-Based Interactive Home Exercise Applications in Adolescents with Obesity
Authors: Oh Wonjun , An Yeongsang , Min Seunghwa , Park Chanhee
Published: September 2022

The rate of obesity in adolescents has increased due to social distancing measures and school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These issues have caused adolescents to change their lifestyles and eating habits. Furthermore, the growth in inactive behavior and computer screen or watching TV time, as well as the reduction in physical activity, could similarly be related with obesity. To overcome this problem, we recently developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based gesture recognition game application called Super Kids Adventure (SUKIA, Funrehab, Daejeon, Korea), which provides inexpensive and motivational game applications. This research is designed to assess the effects of SUKIA and Nintendo Switch (NINS) on calorie consumption, VO2 max, 6-minute walking test (6MWT) as well as body mass index (BMI), and the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale (RPE) in adolescents with obesity. A convenience sample of 24 adolescents with obesity were randomized into either the NINS or SUKIA groups 5 days/week for 3 weeks. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-tests were presented with significant level at p < 0.05, and the analysis indicated that SUKIA showed superior effects on calorie consumption, VO2 max, and RPE compared to NINS. Our results provide evidence that SUKIA can more effectively improve cardiopulmonary function and calorie consumption than NINS in adolescents with obesity during COVID-19.

Published: September 2022

The amount of plastic waste generated in developing nations like Nigeria is increasing day by day, which is nonbiodegradable and causes environmental pollution. Among the plastics used, low-density polyethylene is abundant. These plastics can be removed from the environment and recycled into useful products. In this study, low-density polyethylene plastic waste was utilized in the manufacture of floor tiles to curb its generation. The tiles were produced by mixing fine sand with molten plastic waste in different proportions. The physical and mechanical properties of the floor tiles such as water absorption, density, tensile and compressive tests, modulus of elasticity as well as impact strength and friction tests were investigated. The water absorption ranged from 0.02 - 0.38 %(m/m), while the density varied between 998.5 and 1289 kg/m3. The tensile strength and modulus of elasticity fell within the range of 0.050 to 0.232 MPa and 0.924 to 2.806 MPa, respectively. This result proved the applicability of recycled plastic waste in the formulation of floor tiles.

Primary immunodeficiency is one of the reasons for the development of primary multiple malignant tumors.
The aim of the study is to examine the levels of certain hormones and their receptors in the tissue and peritumoral area of B16/F10 melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) in case of isolated and combined subcutaneous growth in female mice with T-cell immunodeficiency.
Materials and Methods. BALB/c Nude mice were divided into groups: intact group; 2 control groups (Group 1 with B16/F10 subcutaneous inoculation, Group 2 with LLC subcutaneous inoculation); main group (animals with LLC+B16/F10 inoculation). The ELISA method was used to determine the levels of free testosterone (Tf.), estrone (E1), prolactin (PRL), estrogen receptors (REα and REβ), androgen receptors (RA) and progesterone receptors (RP4) (Cassabio, China). Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out on a personal computer using STATISTICA 10.0, parametric Student's test and nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.
Results. In the main group, life expectancy reduced due to melanoma growth by 1.8 times and LLC decrease by 2.3 times. In animals with LLC+B16/F10, compared to those with an only one tumor growth variant, estrone level in tumors decreased, but free testosterone level increased. Melanoma growth in animals with LLC+B16/F10 was accompanied by an increase in prolactin level and some sex steroid receptors in the tumor tissue, its peritumoral area, and skin not affected by the malignant process. A decrease of Lewis carcinoma in females of the main group was accompanied by a decrease of all the studied receptors and hormones both in the tumor and its peritumoral area.
Conclusions. Melanoma growth is probably associated with a high prolactin level and sex steroid receptors in unaffected skin, being a source of melanocytes, the cells from which this tumor develops.

Published: September 2022

Nowadays, schizophrenia is a poorly understood disease with a variety of symptoms attributed to other malconditions, and controversial diagnosis without well-defined treatment. Target therapy implies disease gene network reconstruction, gene clustering, identification of gene ontology categories and genes with the largest number of network contacts.
The aim of the study is to analyze schizophrenia-associated genes, determine their position in the gene network, establish their correlation, identify key genes related to the disease, and evaluate them as target genes for drug therapy.
Materials and Methods. The authors analyzed currently relevant data on schizophrenia using such online databases as OMIM, PANTHER, DAVID, GeneMANIA, STRING-DB, and GeneCards. They calculated categories of gene ontologies for 200 genes, such as biological processes, molecular functions and cellular compartments that reflect schizophrenia impact on the transmission of neuronal impulses. The authors also visualized and built gene networks containing the identified key objects and their interaction, identified the most relevant schizophrenia genes (COMT, DISC1, HTR2A, NRXN1) and a strongly connected cluster, including such genes as BDNF, SLC6A4, HTR2A, HTR2C, CHRM1, SRC, AKT, YWHAE, DISC1, DRD2, COMT, NDEL1, NOS1, CAMK28, etc.
Results. The biological interpretation of the results obtained is still a great challenge, since schizophrenia is a genetically complex disease with numerous causes and triggering events. Analysis of schizophrenia-associated genes, and identification of their position in the gene network (connectivity) makes it possible to find out their interaction, determine the key genes of the disease, and evaluate their prospects as target genes for drug therapy.

COMPOSITIONAL-AESTHETIC PERSONALITY OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHIC WORK OF V. KORSAK "CAPTIVITY"
Authors: Коваленко К. І.
Published: September 2022

The genre designation of a work is its text marker, since for the author a genre serves as a kind of canon or creative model, representing a set of basic (nuclear) components that are characteristic and reproduced in the structure of various texts of the same genre. However, using the "genre potential" when creating a work, each author gives them an individual character. This article examines the compositional and aesthetic originality of the memoir "Captivity" by V. Korsak. The composition acts as a form of structural reflection and development of the theme, which is divided into internal and external. Composition, notes N.A. Nikolina, “there is a manifestation of significant discontinuity in continuity”. Thus, the originality of the linguistic approach to the study of the composition of the text is revealed when considering the categories of articulation and coherence. The factors of composition articulation include: graphic selection of parts, compositional speech form of presentation, type of transmitted information, role in the semantic deployment of the text content. These factors form different types of division: volumetric-pragmatic, structural-semantic and contextvariable. The last two types of division are largely related phenomena. In our article, we consider the internal composition of the investigated memoir work in the context of contextual-variable articulation

The article deals with the linguistic methods and means of argumentation in accusatory speech on the example of speeches of A.F. Kony. The purpose of the study is to describe the compositional and syntactic levels of argumentation in monological judicial speech in their relationship. The features of accusatory speech as a speech genre are determined. The linguistic methods and means of argumentation at the compositional and syntactic levels, determined by the genre-speech characteristics of the accusatory speech, are revealed. The conclusion is made about the interdependence of the compositional structure of argumentation in accusatory speeches and the use of certain syntactic argumentative markers. The most frequent methods and means of argumentation used by A.F. Kony for argumentation of the prosecution position are described. These conclusions are based on the analysis of the speeches of A.F. Koni, who is one of the most prominent representatives of the oratory art of the late XIX– early XX century.
The attitude of women in the perinatal period to food and their own body depending on the satisfaction with the relationship
Authors: Ziółkowska Beata
Published: September 2022

The period of pregnancy and puerperium is a unique experience in a woman's life. Although her attention and care are primarily focused on the child, his health and proper development, her self-image still plays an important role for her. One of the determinants of accepting your own body is its weight, which during pregnancy and puerperium - for obvious reasons - is much higher than before. Also other changes that accompany a woman during this period (e.g. discoloration, stretch marks, swelling) affect the assessment of her image. Acceptance of your own physis is largely conditioned by the relationship with your partner, including the sense of support and understanding that the woman experiences from him. The aim of the own research, designed in the model of correlation with the control group, was to verify the relationship between the body image and nutritional behavior of pregnant and postpartum women, depending on their satisfaction with the partner relationship. The variables were measured with the Kwestionariusz zachowan związanych z jedzeniem by N. Ogińska-Bulik and L. Putyński, the Kwestionariusz wizerunku ciała by A. Głębocka and the Inwentarz jakości związku in the Polish adaptation of H. Liberska, D. Suwalska-Barancewicz and P. Izdebski. It has been shown that there is a statistically significant correlation between the body image and nutritional behaviors both in women from the proper group - during pregnancy and puerperium, and in the control group - in women who are not pregnant and in the puerperium period. It has been empirically confirmed that the better the body image, the better the relationship with food and the less abnormal eating behavior. In addition, women who are satisfied with their relationship have a more positive self-image and more constructive eating behavior. The conducted research shows that for women in the perinatal period, as well as those who are not currently pregnant and in the postpartum period, the acceptance of the body image is a factor that protects against unconstructive eating behavior, and the feeling of satisfaction in the relationship is conducive to both a positive assessment of one's own physicality and in the postpartum period and proper relationship with food.
The sources of the personalistic concept of fertility
Authors: Horbowska Justyna
Published: September 2022

Human fertility is a broad concept, encompassing the human biological, mental, and spiritual spheres. It can be referred to the procreation as the multiplication of the number of beings or it can be considered in the aspect of the human ontic structure, taking into account the ontic founds of the soul. Fertility was also understood as the ability to transmit life in the sense of the function of an organic body or a spiritual element. Finally, the issue of fertility was related to the mutual relations of parents and their children, and its understanding was broadened to include the context of transcendence. The purpose of this study is to reflect on the concept of human fertility that underlies the personalistic view of human fertility. In connection with this goal, the research problem was formulated in the form of the question: "What were the origins of the understanding of fertility of a person?" In the research work, the method of text analysis and the method of historicism was used. As a result of the study, it was possible to distinguish and outline the pre-philosophical approach to fertility, as well as ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary concepts concerning fertility. Their review shows that human fertility was considered in the context of human sexuality. Moreover, the materialistic concepts related to the monistic vision of man were accompanied by the understanding of fertility as the ability to procreate, while the dualistic concepts, assuming the presence of the spiritual element, attributed to it the ability to animate the material body. The hylomorphic concept of the human structure, proper to the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas and supplemented with a reference to individual existence was presented in the context of the approach to Aristotle's understanding of the soul, along with his discussion of human procreation as a special case of animal reproduction, and then supplemented with a personal context in the contemporary sense. An attempt was made to answer the research question, but the issue was not discussed exhaustively, which leaves room for further research.

This research was conducted using a descriptive study approach. This descriptive qualitative research aims to conduct an in-depth exploration of the role of social media (Instagram) and its implications for lifestyle in the city of Banjarmasin for FISIP students at Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin. This study used in-depth interviews with 20 informants, namely students of FISIP, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin. The results of this study indicate that social media (Instagram) is very popular among young people, because it is considered more appropriate to their needs than other social media (such as Facebook which is considered more identical for older people). Social media (Instagram) has become an inseparable part of lifestyle in the scope of activities of daily life today. The position of social media (Instagram) in life can already be considered as a primary need because the intensity of access is > 10 hours per day. Through social media (Instagram), there is an externalization process (such as realizing dreams, channeling creativity, and the necessity to follow trends) and internalization processes (such as meeting the information needs of the outside world, the need for inspiration for innovation and creativity and a reference source for daily activities, e.g. choosing daily clothes) which is part of Social Construction Theory. Social Media (Instagram) which was originally functioned as a medium for exchanging information and interacting socially has also undergone many shifts, one of which has become a market place. The great potential of social media (Instagram) as a market place is recognized as being able to trigger entrepreneurial interest. All informants in this study are business actors (privately owned) although still on a small scale (monthly turnover <Rp 4,000,000, - per month) which are generally engaged in fashion, cosmetics and food. Running a business through social media is felt by the informants to add value to their lives (such as pride), because their lifestyle is not only focused on being consumers (shopping through Instagram social media) but also producers (earning additional money and the process of applying business knowledge gained from the learning process on campus). Keywords : Social Media, Instagram, Social Contruction Theory, Lifestyle

Burial Customs and Social Aspects of the Neolithic Period in Far East Asia Adjacent to the East Sea
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, Hwang Chul-Joo
Published: September 2022

Tombs, the resting places of the dead, are significant sites that reflect the wealth, power, religious beliefs, ideas, and events of the people related to life and death at the time. From this perspective, this study examined Neolithic burial remains in the Maritime Territory(Primorsky Kray), Sanjiang Plain (Lake Xingkai; Khanka), and the east coast area of the Korean Peninsula, and then inferred social aspects for each site and region.
First, it is estimated that in the remains of Maritime Territory and the Lake Xingkai basin, an afterlife worldview that was more faithful to human or group norms than nature was established, whereas, in the Korean Peninsula, a notion that valued nature, especially the sea, was formed. In addition, the burial remains generally fulfilled functions such as marking territory, creating a sanctuary, and maintaining the unity and identity of the community, but it is considered that in the northeastern region, they were focused on remembrance and worship for ancestors, whereas in the Korean peninsula, an emphasis was put on worship for or praying for good luck to the living base (the sea). It is likely that each group had evolved a similar but different aspect depending on the situation and adaptation process they were in.
Next, in the society at that time, it seems that roles were divided between men and women or between members, and a group or community was led by a person or people who had the upper hand in a specific ability or blood relationship, in a relatively equal structure without a hierarchy.
Finally, the burial remains from the early phase to the first phase in the Neolithic period in Far East Asia adjacent to the East Sea are judged to be the outcome of the acceptance and change of the burial customs of the previous period according to the circumstances of each group, with the establishment of the tradition of Northeast Asian flat-bottomed pottery with pressed patterns and raised patterns.
Lithic Knife Tool and Subsistence Activities in Neolithic Era: A Research based on Unearthed Articles in Amsadong Site
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, Kim Young Jun
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this article is to approach Low-Level food Production in Neolithic era by using Lithic knife Tool which has not been focused so far.
Low-Level food Production stage is interpreted as an economic activity for subsistence, which could manage and utilize plant resources added to established food gathering economics, that is, the early stage of farming.
However, Neolithic era in Korean peninsular do not have enough archeological evidence for Low-Level food Production stage because grain analyzing in Neolithic era has not been fully made in all the remains in that period. To make up for this, mutual approach in truly important thorough the stone tools for subsistence.
Especially, the middle western area which adopted farming for the first time does not have enough analyzing information for grain respectively. Therefore, the approach through the stone tools for subsistence is absolutely needed. Because of this, well- known Amsadong village remains were chosen.
The main trait of the Neolithic Lithic knife Tool based on analyzing data is that firstly it is a small part of all the unearthed items. Second, it departs from the standard pattern. Third, Lithic knife Tool is likely to be produced during by using width flake in the process of making a large-scale item rather than is made through a systematic process. Lithic knife Tool is likely to be made with natural sharp blade from width flake. This kind of trait has been shown in Lithic knife Tool items in Korean peninsular.
Fourth, Lithic knife Tool in Neolithic era is excavated mainly from alluvion areas and unearthed items increased as the late Neolithic ear came. Fifth, alluvion remains excavated with grain has Lithic knife Tool. It tells us that we could see plant resources and Lithic knife Tool used as a harvesting tool also increased in the remains as it goes to the late Neolithic era.
Despite the fact that grain analyzing evidence is not fully gathered yet, until now, Amsadong site is one of the major sites which shows harvest, management and utilization of plant resources by using Lithic knife Tool remains.
This means that in the bronze age considered as an agrarian society, a standardized Stone Harvesting Knives was used as a exclusive tool for harvesting plant as food resource but at Amsadong site in Neolithic period considered as a low-level food production stage, exclusive tool as a tool for gathering food might not be used. Instead, it might be possible that width flake with naturally made sharp blade in the process of making large tools occurred sometimes and it was used as a tool for plant food gathering.
A Study on the Effective Cooperative Class of Korean language and Theater to Improve Self-Expression in Lower Grades of Elementary School
Authors:   The Institute of Humanities at Soonchunhyang University, Baek OKhyun , Byun Jairan
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to propose efficient co-teaching for school teachers and theater instructors in the Korean language curriculum to improve self-expression among lower grade levels of elementary school. To this end, after identifying the basic concepts and components of self-expression and investigating self-expression from the perspective of theater, this study investigated self-expression education for the lower grades of elementary school. As a result of conducting a survey on theater teaching and learning methods on 10 theater instructors, it was identified that both Korean listening·speaking education and theater education are closely related to self-expression. Therefore, this study conducted a survey and in-depth interview on 6 elementary school teachers to investigate how theater education is conducted in Korean curriculum to improve self-expression. As a result, it was identified that applying the theater teaching and learning method to Korean language curriculum is effective in improving self-expression of students but it is difficult for teachers to apply the theater teaching and learning method alone in the educational field. Under the recognition of this situation, this study presented co-teaching by school teachers and theater instructors as a practically possible way of effective self-expression education.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to recognize the importance of cultural arts policies by comparing and analyzing domestic and foreign festivals. Through the policies implemented by the state or local government, cultural resources can be produced and developed into festivals.
In order to create the productive value of the festival during the transition period, the following matters should be considered. First, resources related to local festivals should be collected and analyzed, and the resources of economic value should be constantly discovered. Second, it is necessary to break away from the customary reproduction of the festival and attempt a dynamic escape from the cultural trends of the times. Third, it is necessary to create the value of story content and have a process of collective intelligence and feedback. Fourth, it is necessary to be able to participate in both online and offline through the combination of innovative digital technologies. Finally, it should be possible to provide the branding of the festival and the convenience of access to the festival. Based on this study, a method to revitalize the image of festivals in Asan should be continuously sought.

Published: September 2022

In this paper, we looked into the full text of "The Letter to Tang Shunzhi(唐順之)" and "The Letter to Discuss Literature with Cai Runan(蔡汝南)" by Mao Kun(茅坤) of Ming(明) Dynasty, from which we considered the life and the literary thoughts of Mao Kun(茅坤).
Mao Kun suffered from the setback in his official life and was frustrated by the tyranny of the powerful people in the midst of a chaotic political situation in the Ming Dynasty. Although he could not succeed as an official man, but later he could enjoy the scenery of the hometown and create his own poetry to mingle with the literary colleagues. He also was absorbed in collecting books and owned a famous library called Baihualou(白華樓). In addition, the business of his family, silk production, was greatly expanded to make him a wealthy merchant, and the descendants of the family flourished. Mao Kun himself lived to the age of 90 and was praised by many people.
A Study on the Precepts of Reason and Desire: Focusing on Ethica
Authors:   The Institute of Humanities at Soonchunhyang University, Kim Sanghyeon
Published: September 2022

This study deals with the relationship between desire and reason, focusing on Spinoza. This shows that desire can be converted into a direction for active life through rational judgment. Spinoza's philosophy is to break away from rationalism and redefine his ethics in a specific situation where emotions occur. This is the subject of self-activity or self-cause such as God, and the conatus or desire experienced by individual humans in their lives is revealed. In addition, it is intended to examine that desire can be converted into universal desire by active reason. Spinoza's ethics show the possibility of universalization of desire and human self-development through it, that is, the possibility of complete humanity. This conatus expresses the nature of human activities, and all human activities that depict the prospects of one's life are expressed through conatus. It is the ethics of Spinoza that suggests an autonomous human form, an active life, by giving conatus appropriate perception(knowledge). Finally, looking at the connection between God and human self-cause activities, I would like to reveal that Spinoza's ethics shows the way for all mankind to pursue the eternal image(sub specie aeternitatis) through education of desire.

Indium sulfide films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique on soda lime glass substrate. The deposition was conducted at the temperature of 150 °C and prepared films were then thermally annealed under argon atmosphere at 350 °C and 450 °C for 30 min. The impact of post-thermal annealing treatment on the properties of the films was investigated. From X-ray diffraction analysis, the formation of the stable tetragonal β-In2S3 crystal structure was substantiated and revealed that the thermal annealing treatment at 450 °C improved the crystallization of the films. The change in surface topographies and morphologies of the films depending on the post-thermal annealing process were examined by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques, respectively. The stoichiometric ratio of constituent elements in the films was obtained by elemental analysis and it was seen that the films had slightly sulfur (S) deficit composition. It was found that the concentration of S slightly increased with the thermal annealing process. The room temperature photoluminescence spectra revealed that the films included vacancies of sulfur (VS: donor) and indium (In) (VIn: acceptor), indium interstitial (Ini: donor) and oxygen (O) in vacancy of sulfur (OVs: acceptor) defects with strong and broad emission bands at around 1.70, 2.20, and 2.71 eV.

Glass has several advantages over single crystals and transparent ceramics, including easier formability, increased productivity, and higher versatility in composition. However, the scintillation properties should be further enhanced for practical applications. Herein, we focused on fluoroborate glass, which has a high quantum yield. The xCeF3–(50-x)BaF2–25Al2O3–25B2O3 glass showed luminescence quantum efficiency up to 83% with a broad peak at 380 nm, and its concentration in the quantum yield was remarkably low. The lifetime of the X-ray-induced luminescence was also insignificant to the concentration. The light yields were obtained from the pulse height spectrum: for gamma rays from 241Am, up to 411 photons MeV−1; and for neutrons with 252Cf as the source, up to 1717 photons n−1 were observed. The performance of glass for thermal neutron detection using inexpensive natural abundant B2O3 was notably good. Thus, the possibility of developing an inexpensive glass scintillator has been presented here.
Introduction

The idea for this Special Issue arose from a transdisciplinary conference entitled ‘(dis)Covering Discourses’ which was held at University College Cork in 2018. The aim was to bring together scholars spanning a multiplicity of disciplines who, in their research, apply discursive methods and ‒ as the spelling indicates ‒ by doing so, aim to (dis)cover, in both senses of the word, discourses. In the first instance, (dis)covering was considered a process of finding or coming across something unexpectedly. Approaching it from the second perspective, and even more saliently, the implication turned towards the process of discovering as bringing something to light, so to speak, as a task of uncovering.  A broad range of researchers from various fields such as Linguistics, Literature, Cultural Studies, Social Studies, Sociology, Government and Politics, Economy, Clinical Therapies and Media Studies answered our call. They succeeded in shedding light on themes such as Politics, Class, Gender, Health, Identity, Institutions, Knowledge, Economy, Migration, Multilingualism, Social Media, Space and Violence. What all the researchers and the papers shared was their methodological approach and their common interest in Discourse Analysis: each employing methods of Discourse Analysis / Critical Discourse Analysis from their own disciplinary perspectives.
