POLÍTICA, RACISMO E FOME EM QUARTO DE DESPEJO DE CAROLINA MARIA DE JESUS
Authors: De Souza Santos Mariana , Marins Dinelly Pessoa Igor , Rodrigues Rego Sankuevitz Cruz Igor , M. C. Filgueiras Patrícia , Moura Fernandes Felipe
Published: September 2024

O texto é resultado de um ano de pesquisa no programa Prodocência (UERJ) durante o biênio 2022-24. O programa tem a finalidade de fornecer subsídios para a continuidade da pesquisa em uma determinada área/tema e promover desdobramentos na formação do professor/pesquisador. Nesse momento, pretendemos demonstrar um tratamento inicial dos temas da política, do racismo e da fome a partir da leitura da obra Quarto de Despejo de Carolina Maria de Jesus. Entendemos que a abordagem desses temas a partir da literatura pode contribuir para a composição de um “quadro geográfico” (Gomes, 2017) onde destacaremos a questão da habitação. No que diz respeito a orientação teórica e metodológica vale destacar que não tratamos a literatura como simples “objeto” de pesquisa, mas atribuímos a mesma o caráter de “sujeito”. Isso significa que a literatura não é geográfica porque possuí um conteúdo geográfico em relação a realidade (montanhas, chuvas, lagos, entre outros), mas por apresentar um pensamento geográfico “em si” (Brosseau, 2007).

Authors: Al-rawi Noor Thair Abd Jaber Hassan , Karim Qaia jalil
Published: September 2024

This research aims to study the book "Al-Siraj Al-Wahhaj fi Qissat Al-Isra wa Al-Mi'raj" by its author Abu Al-Abbas Shahab Al-Din Al-Qalyubi. The study includes content from page [53/b] to [54/a], which outlines the third ascension represented by the meeting of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with Joseph the Just, the eleventh son of Jacob. He is described as having beauty and grace, being one of the most renowned figures in the Quran and the Torah. The author also mentioned occasions of his meeting in the third heaven, corresponding to events in the third year of Hijra, including: the conspiracy of his brothers against him and his being thrown into the well, which parallels the Quraysh's conspiracy to kill the Messenger and throw him into a pit. I relied on the methodology of scholars specialized in this field for the investigation, and may Allah grant us success in presenting it in a satisfactory and acceptable manner.

The Articulation of Counter-Resistance in Muin Bseiso’s “Footsteps”
Authors: Mahmood Rakan Ahmed Mahmood Rakan Ahmed
Published: September 2024

The present paper argues that Bseiso’s “Footsteps” is a counter-hegemonic ideological poem. Bseiso employs powerful rhetorical patterns in order to subvert the hegemonic and ideological concepts practiced and promulgated by the Zionist occupation. It also proves that “Footsteps” challenges Zionist colonial and imperial narratives and instills the Palestinian resistance poetry into the core of the national struggle against the Zionist tyranny and injustice. It also proves Bseiso is an organic intellectual in Gramscian terms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Challenges and Opportunities in Translation : An African Experience
Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Bedu, Ahmed Mohammed Bedu,
Published: September 2024

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution has become a reality in today’s world and its importance for linguistics was recognized very early. Despite its unprecedent surge and integration into various academic fields including language teaching and translation, surprisingly, little work has been done by scholars in advancing discussions on the profound impact of the AI on the diversity of widely available languages in both developed and developing world.
Africa is linguistically diverse continent with about one third of the world’s languages that are vastly underrepresented in the
 global digital data pool. AI translation machine is supported in only 25 languages out of over 2000 languages in the continent. The paper deploys homomorphism model of AI theory to interrogate the natural language data drawn the African languages to present the current and future challenges, opportunities and potential for developing AI algorithms that could fit neatly into the translation of the African languages. Most of the discussions in the paper focuses on the seven patterns of the AI, the usage and implementation of AI algorithms in the translation science. The research findings show some of the complexities of the African languages in which their syntactic categories have multiple corresponding semantic objects. Unlike English, the findings also reveal that syntactic operation in the African languages do not always have one corresponding semantic operation as postulated by the homomorphism model of AI theory. the study contributes to scholarly literature by stressing the limits and opportunities that relate to using AI in translation science and supplying input from NLP algorithms practitioners to expand the AI applicability operation in the translation science.
The Role of Cognitive Schema Theory in the Translation from Arabic into English
Authors: Mohammed Nihad Ahmed Mohammed Nihad Ahmed
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the role of schema theory in translation and aims to gain knowledge that may progress AI-related domains through the simulation of cognition and AI. Schema theory hypothesizes that translators use mental frameworks (schemata) to organize and interpret information. In the context of translation, schemata play a crucial role in knowledge representation, affecting limitations made during the translation process. A cognitive approach is employed and qualitative methods are used in the analysis. A corpus is collected from the translation of a SL Arabic novel (Frankenstein in Baghdad by A. Saadawi) into TL English, covering domains and language pairs. The translation process is analyzed to identify cognitive patterns employed by the translator as they apply schemata to achieve cross-cultural renditions. Conclusions reveal that schema activation significantly impacts translation choices, influencing how the translator interprets and conveys meaning across languages. Cognitive patterns shed light on how cultural and linguistic factors influence the transfer of information between SL and TL. Additionally, the study uncovers variations in schema utilization across different translation tasks and the adaptability and flexibility of cognitive processes in response to varying contexts and linguistic challenges. By deepening our understanding of schema theory, this research contributes to the design, training, and assessment of AI algorithms. It also provides valuable insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying successful cross-linguistic communication and offers practical implications for translators engaged in intercultural exchange. Finally, this paper recommends that AI systems can drive advancements in MT and other AI-related fields of prior knowledge to produce accuracy and more closely with native speakers by using schema theory concepts.
Assessing English Translation of Historical Intertextuality in Maḥfūẓ's Cairo Trilogy
Authors: . Essam T. Muhammed Essam T. Muhammed , Abdulrahman A. Abdulrahman Abdulrahman A. Abdulrahman
Published: September 2024

By skillfully integrating a wide range of scholarly and intercultural references into his novels, the Egyptian novelist Najīb Maḥfūẓ has differentiated himself as an author of exceptional prowess. To convey his intended meanings, he has made extensive use of historical allusions, including (past figures and events). In the present study, we attempt to assess the translation of these types of intertextuality utilized in Maḥfūẓ's Cairo trilogy via adopting the criteria of "accuracy, clarity and naturalness" proposed by Larson in 1984. This study follows a qualitative descriptive approach to analysis. We aim to discover the tactics utilized in translating historical intertextuality into English and to identify the challenges faced by the subject translators and the reasons behind them. The current study hypothesizes that irrespective of what method the translators use to translate historical intertextuality, the translator's historical and cultural background would seriously influence the output of the translation process. The study concludes that intertextuality is a crucial device for all language users since no speech ever starts in a vacuum, and it is via intertextuality that our old legacy is continually refreshed and viewed from different points of view. It further concludes that intertextual expressions that are more culturally specific are the most challenging and he translator's familiarity with the previous texts of SL plays a significant role in the process of deciphering the meaning of intertextual texts.
EFL Learners' Pragmatic Tolerance of Quantity Maxim Violation
Authors: Researcher: Maha Khaled Yasseen Maha Khaled Yasseen , . Kamal Hazim Hussein Ali Kamal H. Hussein
Published: September 2024

The current study embarks on investigating Iraqi EFL learners' pragmatic tolerance of quantity maxim violations. Additionally, it seeks to shed light on Iraqi EFL learners' pragmatic abilities in deriving pragmatic inferences from utterances that contain violations of quantity maxim. The experimental work in the current study utilized two types of sentence judgment tasks. Binary sentence judgment task for investigating learners' pragmatic tolerance, and ternary judgment task for investigating learners' pragmatic competence. The study included two groups of participants. The first group included 50 participants from 2nd-year students, and the second included 50 from 4th-year students at the Department of English for the academic year 2023-2024; both groups judged underinformative scalar implicature utterances. The results with binary task data indicate that Iraqi EFL learners exhibit tolerance toward quantity maxim violations. However, the ternary judgment task results indicate that Iraqi learners are not competent enough to derive a pragmatic inference. Hence, the current study attempts to provide a comprehensive understanding of EFL learners' pragmatic abilities to derive implied meanings.
The Origin of North Mesopotamian Arabic
Authors: Hakam Muhammed Ghanim Hakam Muhammed Ghanim
Published: September 2024

This research paper explores the origin and distinct characteristics of the Noarth Mesopotamian Arabic dialect, specifically the Moslawi dialect spoken in Mosul, northern Iraq. The study begins with tracing the roots of the Arabic language within the Semitic language family tree and examines the emergence of Modern Arabic Dialects. It highlights Ferguson's theory that these dialects originated from a asimplified Koine as the most plausible explanation. The paper then delves into the Mesopotamian dialect group, detailing the division into qeltu and gelet varieties through bedouinization. The phonological and lexical uniqueness of Moslawi is analyzed, emphasizing the persistent use of the phoneme /q/ by Moslawi speakers and the systematic vowel-raising rule that differentiates it from other dialects. Extensive language contact, with Persian, Turkish, Hindi, Kurdish, and English, is also discussed, which explains the numerous borrowed words in Moslawi. This research underscores the complex historical and sociolinguistic factors contributing to the distinctiveness of the Moslawi dialect within the broader context of Arabic dialects.
A Pragmatic Analysis of Flouting Gricean Maxims in Televised Conversational Interaction
Authors: Riyadh Abbas Ohmayed Riyadh Abbas Ohmayed
Published: September 2024

Conversation is an essential part of our daily life. We can communicate our ideas, wills, feelings, emotions, and many other aspects of our lives through conversation. Conversation, in this sense, is a systematic and highly organized activity. People, in conversation, are often clear and operative in their talk. However, sometimes they are not so. This paper addresses the problem of non-observing Grice’s maxims in conversation, particularly the problem of flouting them. It aims to determine whether the four maxims are fully observed or maybe flouted in the televised conversations. The study tries to answer the question of what maxims are flouted in such conversation and whether this phenomenon is cross-cultural or not. The study adopts Grice’s (1975) Model, which explains the cooperative principle and its maxims. A qualitative approach has been followed in this study. The data of the study are extracts of a televised conversation between Bashar Assad, Syria's president, and the German journalist Todenhöfer, as well as between Scott and Biden, collected from the website. Finally, the study concludes that all the Grice’s maxims are flouted in the televised conversational interactions. However, this flouting of a given maxim depends on the nature of the journalist’s questions and the purpose of the talk. The results also show that flouting the maxims is a cross-cultural phenomenon. Accordingly, the question of the study has been answered. This would theoretically and practically add to the growing body of literature studying cross-cultural pragmatics.

Authors: Mangaoil Armina , Ramos Rizandrea Judela , Rungduin Teresita , Baclagan Tito , Rantael Maria Luz
Published: September 2024

This qualitative research study explored the circumstances of elderly women living in poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic and examined the various life goals they developed over their life course. Nine women, aged 65 to 85, residing in Metro Manila and classified as beneficiaries of the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (a conditional cash transfer program implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development), participated in phone interviews. These interviews explored their different life goals, ways of achieving them, and the impact of the pandemic. The results suggest that while goals aimed at improving their financial situation are prominent among elderly women in poverty, most of their goals are directed toward the betterment of people significant to them. A key factor they consider helpful in achieving their goals is social or external support. However, challenges brought by the pandemic have significantly shifted their focus to simpler goals, such as regaining the freedom to engage in outdoor activities and ensuring survival.
Exploring the Role of Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) in Promoting Gender Sensitivity in Classroom Practices among Educators
Authors: Sicuan Syrenzo
Published: September 2024

This study explored the implementation of the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) in educational settings and its impact on student behavior, participation, and learning outcomes. Through a qualitative approach, 12 participants, including students, teachers, a Gender and Development (GAD) coordinator, and a campus executive director, were interviewed to understand their experiences with gender-sensitive practices. The study identified several key challenges in implementing HGDG, including gaps in professional development, insufficient resources, cultural resistance, and a need for clear institutional policies and administrative support. Despite these challenges, participants noted positive behavioral changes, improved student participation, and a greater sense of inclusivity, particularly among female and marginalized students. Gender-sensitive practices such as promoting respect, balanced participation in group activities, and reducing the rigidity of traditional gender roles have contributed to fostering a more inclusive classroom environment. The study further emphasized the need for continuous hands-on training and collaboration with gender sensitivity experts, as well as the improvement of access to gender-sensitive materials and digital resources. Additionally, participants called for stronger leadership involvement and clearer guidelines from school administrators to ensure the consistent application of gender equity principles. Regular monitoring and evaluation of gender-sensitive practices were also identified as essential for sustaining progress and identifying areas for improvement. The study concludes that while significant progress has been made, more efforts are needed to address existing challenges and further integrate gender-sensitive practices into educational institutions. By enhancing professional development, institutional support, and resource availability, schools can create a more equitable and gender-responsive learning environment that benefits all students.

There are 400 w0rds are used to test the three generation at Namfa village, Viengphouka district, Luangnamtha province. There are 30 samples such as over 70 years old generation, 35-55 years old generation and 15-25 years old generation. The research is used linguistic separation use and linguistic voice translation criteria of words that use by three generations. The result found out that, there are three types of the same words used by three generations. There are four types of the same words used by two generations and there is a type of the different words used by three generations. The language used by three generations still use a lots of Yang words for communication. The first generation use Yang word (A) more than second and third generations. The second and third generations used Yang words with other words in social more than the first generation. And the third generation use other words (B) more than the first and second generations. This is because the third generation of teenagers is open and ready to accept new things all the time and prefer to use the national language (standard Lao language) to communicate with other ethnic groups in society. As a result, the use of the Yang language has diminished in daily life, or may have been used only when living with parents, families, and in a group of people who use the Yang language.

The aims of study were to investigate to major insect pests on cabbage and compared the efficacy of Jeevatu, Jeevatu+botanical pesticide and chemical pesticide to control Diamondback moth in laboratory condition. The study was divided into two treatments: 1) survey important insect pests of cabbage in 3 purposive sampling areas (field)/village, 10 points/rai, and 3 cabbages/point to identify insect pests and survey the life cycle of Diamondback moth of cabbage, and 2) conduct the efficacy experiment of Jeevatu, Jeevatu+botanical pesticide and chemical pesticide to Diamondback moth in laboratory. The experiment was done by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The survey showed that there are 8 species of insect pests on cabbage and the most important species is Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) which was found in all provinces that had been survey than followed by striped flea beetle (Phyllotreta striolata), cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae), cabbage butterfly (Pieris rapae), taro caterpillar (Spodoptera litura), cabbage webworm (Hellula undalis), cabbage looper (Trichoplasia ni) and flea beetle (phyllotreta cruciferae). Life cycle of Diamondback moth was investigated in that laboratory, and it showed that the total of life cycle took about 14-21 days that included 3-5 days for egg stage, 8-12 days for lavae stage, 3-4 days for pupae stage, and 13-31 days of bebeing mature.

Development of a smartphone-based colorimetric detection for quantification of vitamin C in dietary supplements and skin care products
Authors:   National University of Lao, Lao PDR, Syhalath Chanthakhy
Published: September 2024

This research project presents a development of an assay tool for quantification of vitamin C in dietary supplements and skin care products. The proposed method was developed based on decolorization of acidic potassium permanganate (KMnO4) by vitamin C through a redox reaction, with subsequent colorimetric detection by using digital imaging. The imaging was carried out using smartphone camera and free-downloaded RGB color detector application. To obtain optimal conditions, influential parameters such as light source position installed inside a 19 cm × 46 cm × 10 cm lightbox, reagent concentrations, and reaction time were studied. To the best conditions, good linearity (r2 > 0.99) in the range 1–70 mg vitamin C/L was obtained. Relative standard deviation was less than 3.9% indicating high precision. The proposed method was validated by quantification of vitamin C content in 15 sample solutions using the proposed method in comparison with the reference iodometric titration method. The results obtained from those two methods were not significantly different using paired t-test at confidence level of 95% (texp=0.41, tcrit=2.14). The results indicated that utilizing smartphone camera with free-downloaded color detector application is possible as an alternative analysis tool for determination of vitamin C.
