The Analysis of Social Deixis in A Night in Khanzadʼs Life
Authors: Khidhir Diman Ezzadin , Majeed Suhayla Hameed
Published: November 2019

Abstract

       Pragmatics is branch of linguistics that studies language in context, therefore, there should be a relation between language and context that surrounds the utterance. One of the manifestations of this relation is social deixis. Social deixis is the linguistic expressions that show the status of the speaker, the addressee, or a third person or entity referred to, as well as the social relationships holding between them. Social deixis deals with forms of address and the way are used by the communicators.

     This study aims to identify and analyse social deictic expressions in the play "A Night in Khanzad's Life" written by Hama Kareem Hawrami. This study helps the reader to understand the theme of the play more clearly through the use of social deictic expressions. It is concerned with both types of social deixis and how each type is related to the social identity, relative power and social relation between the characters.This study uses descriptive and qualitative method, because it identifies and analyzes both types of social deixis (relational and absolute) in the texts found in this play. The study is based on Levinson's theory on deixis (1983). The texts are taken from the play "A Night in Khanzad's Life".The steps to analyze the play are reading the play, finding the types of social deixis, analyzing and classifying the types. The dominant type that is used by the writer in this play is relational social deixis.
Uttered Kurdish digit recognition system

Published: November 2019

Speech recognition is a crucial subject in human computer interaction area. The ability of a machine to recognize words and phrases in spoken language is speech recognition and then convert them to a machine-readable format. Digit recognition is a part of the speech recognition system. In this paper, three spectral based features including Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC), Linear predictive coding (LPC) and formant frequencies are proposed to classify ten Kurdish uttered digits (0-9). The features are extracted from entire speech signal, and feed a pairwise SVM classifier. Experiments including each individual feature and different forms of fusion are conducted and the results are shown. The fusion of the features significantly improves the result and shows that the different features carry complementary information. The proposed model is experimented on the dataset that have been collected in Kurdistan.

Key words: Speech recognition, MFCC, LPC, Formant frequencies, uttered digits, SVM
Impact of influenza vaccination programmes among the elderly population on primary care, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands: 2015/16 to 2017/18 influenza seasons

Background

To increase the acceptability of influenza vaccine, it is important to quantify the overall benefits of the vaccination programme.

Aim

To assess the impact of influenza vaccination in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, we estimated the number of medically attended influenza-confirmed cases (MAICC) in primary care averted in the seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18 among those ≥ 65 years.

Methods

We used an ecological approach to estimate vaccination impact. We compared the number of observed MAICC (n) to the estimated number that would have occurred without the vaccination programme (N). To estimate N, we used: (i) MAICC estimated from influenza surveillance systems, (ii) vaccine coverage, (iii) pooled (sub)type-specific influenza vaccine effectiveness estimates for seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18, weighted by the proportion of virus circulation in each season and country. We estimated the number of MAICC averted (NAE) and the prevented fraction (PF) by the vaccination programme.

Results

The annual average of NAE in the population ≥ 65 years was 33, 58 and 204 MAICC per 100,000 in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, respectively. On average, influenza vaccination prevented 10.7%, 10.9% and 14.2% of potential influenza MAICC each season in these countries. The lowest PF was in 2016/17 (4.9–6.1%) with an NAE ranging from 24 to 69 per 100,000.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that influenza vaccination programmes reduced a substantial number of MAICC. Together with studies on hospitalisations and deaths averted by influenza vaccination programmes, this will contribute to the evaluation of the impact of vaccination strategies and strengthen public health communication.
A proposal for changes to the European Union syphilis surveillance case definition using evidence from evaluations in Ireland

Published: November 2019

Syphilis remains a disease of public health importance, with considerable health effects if not treated. Concurrent infection with syphilis and untreated HIV facilitates HIV transmission. The incidence of syphilis in Europe has been increasing, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM) and in MSM with HIV. However, there is heterogeneity among countries in the case definition used for syphilis and in reported syphilis notification rates. In Ireland, we have undertaken a number of refinements of the national syphilis surveillance system since 2014, including refinement of the laboratory thresholds for notification (rapid plasma reagin 1:16 and/or positive IgM). This article outlines the steps taken and some of the challenges we faced. Our current case definition now accurately reflects the epidemiology of syphilis in Ireland and our current surveillance provides timely information for action, while not reducing the sensitivity of the system too much. For countries where surveillance is driven mainly by laboratory reporting and where obtaining clinical details is challenging, these thresholds for notification may be a pragmatic solution.
The Planetary Test
Authors: Halpern Orit
Published: November 2019

In 1943, in the midst of the Second World War, the famous architect Richard Neutra was commissioned by the government of Puerto Rico to build hospitals and schools. In response, he produced a number of prototypes and processes investigating different ways to ventilate and climate control buildings in the sub-tropical environment of the island through technology. Neutra famously labeled his work in Puerto Rico a Planetary Test. This article examines this history of making climate a medium for design and the implications of these practices for our present
Out for a Walk
Authors: Bennett Jane
Published: November 2019

I explore two walks, one by Henry Thoreau on a hot day in 1851 and one by a line as it winds its way into a doodle today. Walks, I contend, generate circuits of energies and affects, some issuing from people, some from elsewhere. The goal is to accent how ahuman energies and affects inscribe themselves upon selves and inflect their positions and dispositions. Borrowing a term from Lorenz Engell, I call this inscriptive inflection an ›ontographic‹ procedure. Ontography will mark the operations of a creative cosmos, of a more-than-human world continuously impressing itself upon us. At the end, I leave the ontographic to return to the linguistic, to human attempts to ›write up‹ the ahuman ontographies they experience
Write, neverendingly
Authors: Blanc Sebastien
Published: November 2019

Rather than distinguish a phenomenological moment from an ontological moment in Merleau- Ponty’s work, this article aims to recapture its unity by questioning a metaphor that traverses it: that of the writing, the text or the trace. Ontography is the name of a problem and a paradox that Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy bears and assumes: what good is it to say the Being, if it is already written, if every word breaks the silent contact it demands of us? To write is to prolong and reveal a captive meaning in things.
Student perceptions of belonging at university: a qualitative perspective.
Authors: Kelly Alison Faith , Mulrooney Hilda Mary
Published: November 2019

Belonging is multidimensional, personal and geographical in nature. Establishing a sense of belonging benefits students and institutions. This study sought to explore aspects of belonging from the student perspective. Data were collected using open text boxes within a questionnaire and an optional focus group. A total of 617 students participated of whom 85% completed the questionnaire. One focus group with 3 participants was held. Qualitative data highlighted personal and social aspects of belonging, and the benefits of belonging for successful study. The importance of belonging was not agreed universally but most students identified it as important, and felt that they personally belonged. Understanding what belonging means and what influences it is important to enhance student engagement and retention.
Comunicación del cambio climático y generación de capacidades adaptativas entre los agricultores del trópico subhúmedo
Authors: Casanova-Pérez Lorena , Martínez-Dávila Juan Pablo , García-Alonso Florencia , De la Cruz Emigdio de la Cruz
Published: November 2019

Este ensayo analiza la importancia de la comunicación del cambio climático en un contexto local específico poniendo énfasis en la semántica usada por los medios masivos influenciada por un discurso científico-técnico, asimismo, reflexiona sobre las oportunidades para hacer que dicha comunicación sea efectiva y convierta al cambio climático en un tema de comunicación social. Lo anterior requirió fundamentalmente de una revisión documental sobre el papel de los medios masivos en la comunicación del cambio climático y de los principios de la teoría Luhmanniana, así mismo, del uso de información generada previamente a través de una encuesta y entrevistas a profundidad. Los resultados muestran que la compresión del significado del cambio climático y sus impactos en la agricultura en el mediano y largo plazo requiere considerar la semántica como una construcción colectiva utilizada en las operaciones comunicativas por los productores y sus familias en el contexto local, esto posibilitará la generación de capacidades adaptativas y por ende, el diseño e implementación de acciones proactivas para la adaptación de la agricultura del trópico subhúmedo mexicano ante el cambio climático.

Published: November 2019

Los indicadores ambientales son de suma importancia porque proveen información cuantitativa y cualitativa para evaluar el uso, disponibilidad y alteración de los recursos naturales. El presente ensayo tuvo como objetivo revisar del año 2006 a 2018 indicadores ambientales con un enfoque espacial y temporal, utilizados para evaluar la condición del ambiente. Posteriormente, se clasificó la información consultada en tres grupos principales de indicadores de agua, suelo y vegetación. Después se determinó las potencialidades de los diferentes métodos de indicadores ambientales, dentro de estos hallazgos relevantes se observó que cada metodología depende de la calidad de la información y de los objetivos de cada estudio. Dentro de las metodologías analizadas las de mayor relevancia por la precisión de sus resultados obtenidos, fueron los índices de vegetación y análisis multicriterio, ya que permite percibir explícitamente los parámetros de la zona que han sido modificados por actividades humanas. Se concluye que las metodologías de indicadores ambientales dependen del aspecto espacio-temporales y la calidad de los datos, así como del recurso natural a evaluar.

Barstow
Authors: Partch Harry
Published: November 2019

Composer, theorist, instrument builder, and performer, Harry Partch stands with Henry Cowell and John Cage among the great experimenters in American music. Constrained by conventional scales and tuning, Partch devised his own instruments to capture the sounds he imagined. Barstow, composed in 1941 and revised many times afterward through 1968, ranks among Partch's best-known and most accessible works. A setting for voices and instruments of eight hitchhikers' inscriptions near Barstow, California, the work immortalizes the dying world of the American hobo. Its intimate, honest view of Depression-era America provides a foil to the nostalgic Americana of the period. This edition presents Partch's final version of the work with a transcription based on Ben Johnston's system of notating just intonation.

Diana su l'Elba
Authors: Heinichen Johann David
Published: November 2019

Diana su l'Elba is one of two serenatas that Johann David Heinichen composed for the famous celebration of the wedding of the German prince Friedrich August III and the Austrian archduchess Maria Josepha in September 1719, this one performed on a ship in the Elba to inaugurate one of the hunts that took place in September 1719. The music contains features found in Venetian music of the day that was popular at the Dresden court. This serenata demonstrates Heinichen's brilliant and sometimes spectacular style of composition at the time he was emerging as the leading composer at the Dresden court.
Symphonies, Part 2
Authors: Marsh John
Published: November 2019

John Marsh (1752–1828) was perhaps the most prolific English composer of his time. His own catalog of compositions records over 350 works, of which he lists thirty-nine symphonies. Of these, only the nine that Marsh had printed are extant, together with three one-movement finales. Marsh was a lawyer by training and a gentleman of varied interests, and his thirty-seven volumes of journals, now published in an abridged edition by Pendragon Press, are among the most valuable sources of information on life and music in eighteenth-century England. The symphonies here published represent the varied styles that Marsh utilized in writing for the musicians in the cities where he worked. “Although not masterpieces of the highest class, Marsh's symphonies have such charm that their neglect seems inexcusable” (Richard Gorer, Grove, 5th ed.).
St. Hans' Evening Play Overture
Authors: Gade Niels W.
Published: November 2019

St. Hans' Evening Play is the second complete overture composed by Niels W. Gade (1817–90), undoubtedly the most prominent figure in nineteenth-century Danish music. Inspired by Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream Overture, Gade composed St. Hans' Evening Play during the summer of 1841, and it was premiered at The Royal Theater in Copenhagen the following April in a concert featuring Clara Schumann. Schumann's letters to her husband and reviews by local critics show that the overture was well received. Indeed, it is a fine example of Gade's masterful skills in orchestration. The overture's distinctly Danish program, a play by Adam Oehlenschläger celebrating Midsummer Night, made the composition unattractive to contemporary publishers and foreign audiences. Consequently, St. Hans' Evening Play was never performed outside Denmark, and the publication of this critical edition is its first appearance in print.
The Complete Motets 9
Authors: Lasso Orlando di
Published: November 2019

This volume contains the first in the series of lavish choirbooks published by Adam Berg under the title Patrocinium musices. The first five books in the series, issued between 1573 and 1576, were devoted exclusively to religious music by Lasso and were subsidized by Wilhelm of Bavaria. Patrocinium I includes twenty-one motets, seven each for four, five, and six voices. Lasso dedicated the book to Wilhelm in a long preface that glosses the illustrations in the title page and frontispiece, emphasizing the importance of music in the church, the role of worldly rulers as its protectors, and Wilhelm as a follower in the footsteps of his forebears. The motets set psalms, other biblical or liturgical texts, and religious poems. Four motets are based on pre-existent cantus firmi, including the opening “Pater noster, qui es in caelis.” The book closes with a six-voice “Agimus tibi gratias,” in which Lasso pays tribute to a setting of that same text by Cipriano de Rore, following the course of events in Rore's motet in every detail.
The Lute Fantasias
Authors: Terzi Giovanni Antonio
Published: November 2019

Giovanni Antonio Terzi, of whom little is known biographically, composed music collected in two important lute books published in Venice in 1593 and 1599. A large proportion of those books is given to intabulations of vocal music which are of considerable interest to both performer and scholar. However, the fantasias presented in this edition are some of the most accomplished of the generation after Francesco da Milano. They represent a last flowering of the lute fantasia in the imitative style often found with motets and, as a consequence demonstrate a debt to vocal forms and structures. The fantasias, canzona-fantasia, toccatas and prelude of this volume, presented in conventional notation and Italian tablature provide both performers and scholars access to exemplary examples of the late sixteenth-century solo fantasia genre.

The role of guidance in student engagement with chemistry studies
Authors: Valto Piia , Nuora Piia
Published: November 2019

During recent years, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Jyväskylä has made an extensive effort to support chemistry students’ first study year. The first-year curriculum includes enhanced study counselling course, intensive orientation course and support for academic study skills via a specific course.  In this study, the effects of the revisions were studied by exploring the chemistry students study continuation and what factors contributed to it.  In 2015 to 2017, data were collected from first-year chemistry students (n = 106), who completed a questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of their first semester. The results show that the percentage of dropout rates after the first year decreased. Students’ current challenges are different than they have been previously, thus putting new demands on their guidance. The results of the study indicate that students value guidance and study counselling especially at the beginning of their studies.

Pragmatic communicators can overcome asymmetry by exploiting ambiguity
Authors: Blokpoel Mark , Dingemanse Mark , Woensdregt Marieke , Kachergis George , Bögels Sara , Toni Ivan , van Rooij Iris
Published: November 2019

How can people communicate successfully when they perceive the world differently (asymmetry) and when words can mean different things (ambiguity)? Prior work has appealed to contextual information to blunt the impact of ambiguity, and explicit feedback to resolve misunderstandings caused by asymmetry. We demonstrate that even without contextual scaffolding and before resorting to interactive feedback, communicators using pragmatic inference can actually exploit ambiguity to overcome asymmetry. While intuition suggests that ambiguity only aggravates asymmetry, agent-based simulations show that to pragmatic communicators it is a ‘helping hand’: They can use ambiguity to trade computationally leaner pragmatic inference for costly interactional turbulence. This computational approach to a longstanding linguistic problem establishes a novel theoretical baseline for explaining natural language use.
Easy preregistration will benefit any research
Authors: Mellor David Thomas , Nosek Brian A.
Published: November 2019

There is shared support by Riley et al., (RRL1) and Wolfe & Kanwisher (WK2) for the principles to “increase transparency, rigor, and reproducibility of science” and “[fulfill] an inherent commitment to study participants and the public”1. These principles are motivating the expansion of NIH Guidelines requiring study registration and outcome reporting into basic science. Prospective study registration (i.e. “preregistration”) distinguishes confirmatory tests of predictions from discoveries resulting from exploration3. Unintentionally conflating these modes of research increases the publishability of findings at the expense of their credibility4. Further, outcome reporting, whether or not the study is ultimately published, addresses publication bias and selective ignoring of null results5. Widespread preregistration and outcome reporting may address key contributing causes of the so-called “Reproducibility Crisis”6, and would increase the interpretability of most empirical research.
Visual-to-auditory sensory substitution alters language asymmetry in both sighted novices and experienced visually impaired users

Published: November 2019

Visual-to-auditory sensory substitution devices (SSDs) provides improved access to the visual environment for the visually impaired by converting images into auditory information. Research is lacking on the mechanisms involved in processing data that is perceived through one sensory modality, but directly associated with a source in a different sensory modality. SSDs may be similar to reading, as an image (printed word) is converted into sound (when read aloud). Reading, and language more generally, are typically lateralised to the left cerebral hemisphere. Yet, unlike symbolic written language, SSDs convert images to sound based on visuospatial properties, with the right cerebral hemisphere potentially having a role in processing such visuospatial data. Here we investigated whether there is a hemispheric bias in the processing of visual-to-auditory sensory substitution information and whether that varies as a function of expertise and visual ability. We assessed the lateralisation of auditory processing with two tests: a standard dichotic listening test and a novel dichotic listening test created using the auditory information produced by an SSD, The vOICe. Although standard dichotic listening is lateralised to the left hemisphere, the auditory processing of images in SSDs is bilateral, possibly due to the increased influence of right hemisphere processing.

Published: November 2019

This study employs the social quality approach to analyze public evaluation of society in China based on the data of the 2017 Chinese Social Survey. It includes both objective and subjective survey indicators of the conditional factors of social quality, namely, socioeconomic security, social cohesion, social inclusion, and social empowerment, as independent variables. Regression results reveal most of these indicators are significantly related to the overall evaluation of society though with different explanatory power. This study not only helps understand how Chinese people evaluate their society but also calls attention to further improve social quality indicator system.
Social Quality Measurement and Perceived Social Quality
Authors: Ali Muhammad Yasir , Lin Ka
Published: November 2019

This study investigates the difference between the maps of social quality and perceived social quality. Using survey data collected from Peshawar, a prominent city in Pakistan, we compare the general and the perceived maps of social quality drawn from survey respondents based on their stands of income, education, age, and gender. With this comparison, the study conducts the regression analysis about the data to reveal the relations between these factors and draw some policy implications. The analysis contrasting objective and subjective visions of the social quality map may support a constructionist view on social quality and, more essentially, bring our view into the diversity of the perceived maps of social quality in reference to the interests of different social groups in society.
Das Byzanz-Bild von Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos
Authors: Hadjiafxenti Christina
Published: November 2019

*Full article is in German

English abstract:
In the nineteenth century, Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos, a Greek professor of theology at the newly founded University of Athens, wrote a much heeded scholarly work of Greek ecclesiastical history. Kyriakos had been profoundly influenced by his German Protestant theological predecessors whose ideas, including those about Byzantium, found their way into his work, such that Byzantium was presented as an empire in constant decline. This article addresses the question whether this negative presentation of Byzantium was also adopted in Kyriakos’ school textbooks for ecclesiastical history at a time in which Byzantium was generally perceived proudly as part of Greek national historiography and identity.

German abstract:
Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos, griechischer Theologieprofessor an der neu gegründeten Universität von Athen, verfasste im 19. Jahrhundert ein bedeutsames akademisches Werk für Kirchengeschichte. Sein Werk war sehr stark von seinen deutschen, evangelischen theologischen Vorbildern geprägt, was sich nicht zuletzt bei seiner Byzanz-Darstellung niederschlägt, denn genau wie seine Vorbilder zeichnet er Byzanz als ein Reich im stetigen Verfall. Der vorliegende Aufsatz befasst sich vor allem mit der Frage, ob diese negative Byzanz-Darstellung auch in Kyriakos’ Schulbüchern für Kirchengeschichte tradiert worden ist, in einer Zeit, in der Byzanz eigentlich mit Stolz als Teil der griechischen Nationalgeschichtsschreibung und Identität betrachtet wurde.
Disparity among Indonesian Sociology of Education Textbooks
Authors:   Zulkifli
Published: November 2019

In addition to offering insight into the discipline of sociology, sociology of education textbooks constitute a major source of sociological knowledge. This article examines the scholarly content of Indonesian sociology of education textbooks by focusing on the degree of commonality between their core content and sources, and between their core content and academic scholarship. The results of this examination reveal a low level of commonality among the core contents of the seven selected textbooks—a heterogeneity that reflects not so much the plurality of Indonesian society and educational institutions or the application of sociological theories and approaches required by the Indonesian curriculum, but rather the diversity of the textbooks’ sources and their authors’ scholarly publication records.

The consideration of the features of constructing the power supply system of a pilot industrial-technological installation for applying multicomponent coatings by the ion-plasma method is continued. The main attention is paid to the practical aspects of developing controlled resistive circuits connected to various elements of the power supply circuit of a technological plasma generator. It is noted that the control of the operation mode of the technological installation is provided by changing the resistance of these chains by the corresponding automated system. A mathematical expression is proposed in the form of a polynomial for the resistance of chains, which meets the requirements for a research installation and the condition for minimizing the number of resistors in a separate chain. The structure of the chain is considered as a combination of the required number of cells. Each of them differs from the others not only in the connection scheme of the resistors but also in their resistance. An algorithm is proposed for determining the nominal resistance, heat loss power, the number of resistors and the circuitry for their connection. For example, a diagram and the main technical characteristics of a chain connected to a group of target cathodes from tungsten are given. Such cathodes are used in the formation of nanostructured and multifunctional coatings of tungsten carbide on the surface of metal parts. Particular attention is paid to the control elements in the individual cells of the technological plasma generator. The analysis of requirements for control elements such as semiconductor switches and electromagnetic relays is carried out. It is noted that these requirements are met by conventional (not high-voltage) electromagnetic relays of domestic production, provided that their contacts are connected in series with each other. Attention is drawn to the need to prevent the formation of an electric arc when the relay contacts open, can be achieved by including a resistor and a capacitor in series with the control element. It is also important to use means of forced air cooling of the resistive chain block.

The focus of this study is the chemistry of reductive bleaching of kraft pulps with sodium dithionite. A set of model compounds mimicking quinone structures, residual lignin structures with conjugated carbonyl/carboxyl groups and muconic acid, among others, was reduced with sodium dithionite and monitored by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. Depending on the chromophore models, either reductive or sulfonation reactions are thought to be responsible for the degradation. No reductive degradation of hexeneuronic acid (HexA) residues was detected, but unsaturated structures of unknown origin were eliminated from the xylan. Additionally, the potential of the reductive stage with either sodium dithionite or sodium borohydride was tested using an industrial pine kraft pulp bleached by OOZEDD sequence. This pulp, with a 88.8% ISO brightness ceiling, exhibited a brightness increase to 90 ± 0.5% in the final reduction stage.
Alkaline xylan extraction of bleached kraft pulp - effect of extraction time on pulp chemical composition and physical properties

Published: November 2019

In this pilot scale study, we examined the effects of alkaline extraction time on xylan removal, pulp and paper properties, and the consequences that need to be addressed when scaling up and intensifying the process. Alkaline extraction of bleached birch kraft pulp yields two fractions: pure polymeric xylan and pulp with reduced xylan content. Our results indicate that a similar amount of xylan can be extracted in 5 min as the amount obtained in 60 min. We found, however, that the shorter extraction time is beneficial to maintain the fiber and paper properties at an acceptable level. This pilot trial demonstrated that the washing procedure of the alkali-treated fibers must be selected with care to avoid causing mechanical damage to fibers and to avoid the loss of fines.
Scaling risk assessment in a closed circuit recycled board mill by speciation methods
Authors: HUBER PATRICK , NIVELON SYLVIE , NORTIER PATRICE
Published: November 2019

Calcium carbonate scaling often is a critical problem for recycled board mills that have closed water circuits. The objective of this study was to determine local scaling risks throughout the production process. To predict scaling potential, we calculated several saturation indexes, based on speciation determined from detailed water analyses. Calculated scaling trends are in accordance with observed dissolution and precipitation of calcium carbonate in the process, when considering local aeration phenomena. The importance of volatile fatty acids (resulting from anaerobic bacterial activity) in calco-carbonic equilibriums is discussed, and taken into account in the speciation calculation. We also demonstrate the need to measure inorganic carbon instead of alkalinity in such conditions. This makes typical scaling indexes, such as the Ryznar Stability Index, irrelevant to predict scaling risk in closed circuit conditions; thus, it is necessary to use general speciation methods, as described in this paper.
Organizational Culture and Stakeholder Success Criteria in Construction Projects

Published: November 2019

This paper presents the findings of a theoretical investigation into the association between organizational culture and stakeholder management. With an aspect focused on international construction projects, the study explores the relationship between the cultural origin of key stakeholders and the cultural context in which projects are realized. Emphasis is placed on the examination of project outcomes and the factors that influence cultural domain. Secondary data suggests stakeholder management and corporate culture are critical areas that decide an organization’s success. The importance of these areas will inevitably grow in the future as projects continue to be procured in a global economy. Identifiable theoretical associations between the constructs have been found that provide early evidence that stakeholders and culture influence project life-cycles. Stakeholders—organizations and their representatives—must be informed of the distinct types of cultures and success criteria to ensure they manage them efficiently alongside traditional and long-accepted project variables.

The demand for expertise in technology and rapid service in the modern era has penetrated the field of education. According to Geogi Lozanov in Robinson (2005: 1) in reaching citizens who are sensitive to the development of science and technology and have the ability to interact internationally requires critical thinking skills and democratic attitudes. Critical thinking also requires skills to think about assumptions in asking questions about the concept of democracy that is being discussed before it becomes an option to be developed into a way of living together as a nation. Efforts to reach generations of citizens who have critical thinking skills and have democratic skills are one of the goals of national education, one of them is learning. Besides that, in the effort to reach the generation of democratic citizens in the modern era, high order thinking skills are also needed. This ability to think at a higher level requires someone to apply new information or prior knowledge. The purpose of this study is to describe the concepts of democratic skills in the HOTS stage in the modern era. The method in this study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The concepts of democratic skills in the HOTS frame are civic skills, intellectual skills, and participation skills. Through this research, HOTS is expected to strengthen democratic skills in the modern era.
