Authors: Aman Chhabra Dr. , Kuchewar Dr. Vaishali , Twinkle Joshi Dr.
Published: February 2023

In the present era, Metabolic disorder is a challenge to the medical community because of its increasing prevalence and unsatisfactory management. There is no permanent remedy, and the patient has to continue the medicine for a longer life. According to Ayurveda, all metabolic diseases are caused due to Jathragnimandya(improper digestion & metabolism). Hence the correction of Agni is the principle to treat it. Various herbs act as agnivardhak (increase digestive fire or Rasayan (Rejuvenator). Haridra (Curcuma longa) and Amalaki (Emblica Officinalis) are the herbal drugs recommended in Ayurveda literature. Ayurveda practitioners are using these medicines for various metabolic disorders. Hence this review was carried out to discover their utility in metabolic disorders. The aim and objective of this review are to study the role of common herbs available worldwide, which are Haridra (Curcuma longa) and Amalaki (Emblicaofficinalis), in metabolic disorders. The related data were collected from classical texts of Ayurveda, google scholar, and PubMed. A total of 10 articles were considered for review. Out of these, four were animal studies, and six were analytical studies in which the assessment parameters were fasting. From this review, few studies have been conducted on only Haridra as compared to Amalaki on the post-meal blood sugar levels, glycolatedhaemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, oral glucose tolerance test, and complete blood count metabolic disorders. The maximum studies are on Nisha-Amalaki(a combination of Haridra&Amalakialongwith bhavna[trituration process] of Amalakiswarasa[Juice form of Emblicaofficinalis]to Haridra[Curcuma longa]) which is found to be effective in Diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, which can be considered as the cavity of previous reviews. Therefore, there is a need to conduct studies on Nisha-amalaki to explore its effect on other common metabolic disorders like PCOD, Hypothyroidism.

O ESPAÇO RURAL BRASILEIRO NAS DUAS PRIMEIRAS DÉCADAS DO SÉCULO XXI: AVANÇOS E LIMITES DA TRANSIÇÃO AGROAMBIENTAL
Authors: Diniz Raphael Fernando , Hespanhol Antonio Nivaldo , Laurent François
Published: February 2023

O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a evolução de algumas variáveis relacionadas às técnicas e recursos produtivos utilizados nos estabelecimentos agropecuários do país, com base em dados publicados nos Censos Agropecuários de 2006 e 2017 do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). O recorte espacial de investigação compreende as cinco grandes regiões geográficas do país e suas 27 unidades federativas. Para a consecução deste objetivo, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica acerca dos instrumentos instituídos pelo Estado brasileiro com o propósito de se promover a transição agroambiental nas últimas décadas. Complementarmente, foram analisados os dados censitários relativos ao emprego de produtos agroquímicos, utilização de máquinas e implementos e o emprego de diferentes técnicas de produção nos estabelecimentos agropecuários brasileiros. A partir da análise destes dados, constatou-se que a transição de um paradigma de produção fundamentado no uso intensivo de insumos do pacote tecnológico da revolução verde para outro gerido por princípios, técnicas e práticas de base ecológica tem se realizado de forma bastante lenta, limitada, desigual e permeada por ambiguidades e contradições. Verifica-se, neste sentido, que a adoção de práticas agroambientais positivas se faz em meio à manutenção ou expansão do uso de técnicas e insumos nocivos aos recursos naturais e à agrobiodiversidade, em um processo ainda predominantemente orientado por uma racionalidade instrumentalista-tecnológica e econômico-produtivista, que, em determinados contextos socioespaciais, começa a incorporar preceitos de outras racionalidades ecológicas e ecossociais.

Published: February 2023

Este estudo trata da conversão das áreas dos Campos de Altitude no Bioma da Mata Atlântica por cultivos agrícolas nas últimas três décadas, no município de São Francisco de Paula, nordeste do estado do Rio Grande Sul. O objetivo principal é mensurar as perdas de áreas dos ecossistemas do bioma a partir dos usos e cobertura da terra neste município, no período de 1985 a 2020. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de levantamento bibliográfico e de cartografia realizada com base nos dados geoespaciais gerados pelo projeto MapBiomas Coleção 6.0 e o uso do software QGIS. Analisando os dados disponibilizados pelo MapBiomas foi possível identificar uma redução de cerca de 30% nas áreas de Formação Campestre no período de 1985 a 2020. Embora com uma redução menor, foi detectado um decréscimo de 7,5% na Formação Florestal. As extensões convertidas foram substituídas por usos da Agropecuária, ou seja, Lavouras Temporárias e Silvicultura. A biodiversidade dos Campos de Altitude do município de São Francisco de Paula está protegida por tratados internacionais de Conservação da Biodiversidade, inserida como uma Área Prioritária de Conservação do Brasil e sob o escudo de proteção da Lei da Mata Atlântica. Conservá-la não se trata apenas de proteção de espécies, mas sim de ecossistemas. Não somente de biotas, mas de conservar uma paisagem única, como também uma identidade e um modo de vida característicos das populações humanas do território dos Campos de Cima da Serra.
REAPROVEITAMENTO DE RESÍDUOS AGROINDUSTRIAIS COMO PRÁTICA SUSTENTÁVEL PARA GERAÇÃO ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL
Authors: Campos Keila Diniz , Faria Lênio José Guerreiro , Joele Maria Regina Sarkis Peixoto
Published: February 2023

O desenvolvimento rural de forma sustentável e equilibrada atualmente é uma preocupação nas agroindústrias/cooperativas. E um dos pontos mais importantes são os impactos ambientais ocasionados por atividades agroindustriais, maximizadas pela ausência de um sistema de gerenciamento ambiental adequado por parte da organização. Pois, o descarte inadequado dos resíduos gerados contribui para a poluição dos rios e solos, lixiviação de compostos e proliferação de vetores transmissíveis de doenças acarretando problemas de saúde pública. Portanto, este trabalho traz como proposta uma alternativa de reaproveitamento de resíduos através de tecnologia social eco-eficiente, briquetes ecológicos, capaz de agregar valor econômico e ambiental. Os briquetes são produzidos por um processo de compactação de biomassas, visando aumentar a densidade energética, com granulometria e teor de umidade adequados para serem utilizados nas caldeiras das cooperativas em substituição da lenha convencional. A Cofruta, cooperativa de fruticultores de Abaetetuba, onde a pesquisa foi realizada, fica localizada no município de Abaetetuba, no estado do Pará-Brasil. As biomassas avaliadas foram os resíduos de caroço de açaí e cascas de cupuaçu e murumuru. Todas as biomassas apresentaram características termo físicas com alto potencial energético. Os briquetes produzidos com as cascas de murumuru apresentaram maior eficiência energética, enquanto, os briquetes de caroço de açaí seguidos dos de casca de cupuaçu apresentaram maior resistência e durabilidade.
The effect of gender board diversity across market quotation on firm performance: Evidence from the UK
Authors: Basuony Mohamed A. K. , Bouaddi Mohammed , EmadEldeen Rehab , Noureldin Neveen
Published: February 2023

This paper examines the impact of gender board diversity on firm performance for companies registered on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The data has been collected from a unique set of 644 financial companies in the Main (MAIN) market and Alternative Investment Market (AIM) for the period 1999–2016. The firm performance has been measured using return on equity (ROE) and Tobin’s Q. The main independent variable is the female board diversity, which was distinguished into executive and non-executive females. In the MAIN market, the executive female directors negatively affect the firm’s financial performance; however, the non-executive female directors positively impact the firm’s financial performance. Furthermore, the positive effect of non-executive female directors in the bad market is higher than in the good market. Whereas the negative effect of the executive female directors in the bad market is lower than in the good market. To the best of our knowledge, this paper contributes to the corporate governance literature in two folds. First, this paper explores the effect of executive and non-executive female directors on the board on the firm performance. Second, the paper also scrutinizes such associations in two different regimes of the financial market.

Published: February 2023

Background: Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED)
technology continue to advance and improve overtime to help in the
treatment of various bradyarrhythmia and prevent sudden cardiac death.
Trends and types of various CIED insertion has been changing over the
past two decades. No recent study has captured trends in procedures
related to several categories of implantable devices in United States
(US) subgroups. Objective: We conducted a nationwide
subcategory analysis of trends in device implants from 2016 to 2019
using the US National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Methods:
We used data from the NIS between January 2016 to December 2019 on
hospitalized adults ≥18 years old undergoing CIED implants and/or device
upgrades to study CIED device trends each year stratified by baseline
characteristics and comorbid conditions. Linear regression for
continuous outcomes and logistic regression for categorical outcomes
were used to calculate p-value trends for each subcategory.
Results: We found a significant increase in implantation rates
of all CIEDs in the US from 2016 to 2019 (150,370 to 159,300). There was
a significant increase in dual-chamber compared to single-chamber
pacemaker and implanted cardioverter defibrillator devices implanted
noted (p <0.001), and an increase in permanent pacemaker to
cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker upgrades from 1,280 to 1,615
(p = 0.002). When stratified by gender, the percentage of all CIEDs were
higher in males than females. No significant change was shown when
stratified by age, race, or comorbidity. Conclusion: The
findings likely mirror the increasing prevalence of conduction
abnormalities in the US and account for the better understanding that
dual pacing better emulates normal cardiac physiology and
atrioventricular synchrony .
New polyconvolution product for Fourier-cosine and Laplace integral operators and their applications
Authors: Tuan Trinh
Published: February 2023

The goal of this paper is to introduce the notion of polyconvolution for
Fourier-cosine, Laplace integral operators, and its applications. The
structure of this polyconvolution operator and associated integral
transforms is investigated in detail. The Watson-type theorem is given,
to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for this operator to be
unitary on L 2 ( R ) , and to get its inverse represented in the
conjugate symmetric form. The correlation between the existence of
polyconvolution with some weighted spaces is shown, and Young’s type
theorem, as well as the norm-inequalities in weighted space, are also
obtained. As applications of the Fourier cosine–Laplace
polyconvolution, the solvability in closed-form of some classes for
integral equations of Toeplitz plus Hankel type and integro-differential
equations of Barbashin type is also considered. Several examples are
provided for illustrating the obtained results to ensure their validity
and applicability.

Short RP tachycardia with Concentric atrial activation: What is the mechanism?
Authors: Ghosh Anindya , Sriram Chenni S. , Pandurangi Ulhas M.
Published: February 2023

A 65 year-old with history of prior ablations for regular narrow QRS
short- RP tachycardia presented with recurrence of palpitations. An
electrophysiological study showed long VA tachycardia with concentric
atrial activation with a left ventricular origin extrastimulus delivered
during His refractoriness, advancing the next ‘A’. A HRVPB can only
reset an ORT if it ‘pulls in’ the local V at the ventricular insertion
of an accessory pathway. As showcased in this case, erudite analysis of
the pattern of perturbation of local ventricular electrograms is of
paramount significance when interpreting responses to this maneuver.
This concept when fortified with a heightened index of clinical
suspicion for mitral annular block, anatomical knowledge of the pattern
of LA-CS muscular connections, and pathway orientation, led to accurate
electrophysiological diagnosis and management.

Published: February 2023

Healthcare is an important industry, which offers value-based care to
millions of people, while at the same time becoming top revenue earners
in many countries. The increasingly growing number of applications of
machine learning in healthcare allows us to glimpse at a future where
data, analysis, and innovation work hand-in-hand to help countless
patients without them ever realizing it. In the fields of healthcare
Machine learning is used for imaging and recognition of diseases. Due to
the advancing speed Machine learning has gained an adverse field in the
diagnostic process of diseases in healthcare. Since machine learning is
an algorithm-based field, thus it helps in generating various algorithms
based on healthcare and gives great information, ideology and technical
abilities to the machines. It also helps in gathering data and follow
ups it grips every possible information to develop human life. In this
paper, we will compare different classification algorithms with which we
can detect whether an individual can get affected by Alzheimer’s disease
in future or not. It can also detect in which phase the person is at
present if the individual is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer is such a disease which cannot be classified or rather
identified using any manual procedures. It has some critical values
which determines various phases of the disease and the fluctuation of
these phases are so sensitive which makes the disease harder to handle
manually. We have used the oasis dataset to train the system to make the
system responsive to sensitive changes by using classification processes
and modified c clustering method which was proposed by us in our
previous paper i.e. Brain Anomaly Detection. We have used a pure machine
learning process to solve the Alzheimer detection and the probability of
Alzheimer detection problem which is recently faced by doctors.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. In healthy adults, accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is uncommon. Intestinal perforation by ingested bone fragments is rare, but can be presented as a life-threatening condition, especially when the diagnosis is delayed. Case outline. We present an uncommon case of a 73-year-old female with acute abdominal symptoms due to ileal perforation caused by accidentally ingested animal bone. Pneumoperitoneum revealed by abdominal X-ray and abdominal free fluid revealed by abdominal ultrasound as well as the general condition of the patient required urgent laparotomy, when the diagnosis of ileal perforation was made. A foreign body was removed from the intestine, along with partial resection of the intestine and endto- end anastomosis. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of life-threatening complications arising after ingestion of foreign bodies is the only method of choice in the treatment of such patients.

Objective: Self-regulation, participation and health-related quality of life are important rehabilitation outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore associations between these outcomes in a multi-diagnostic and heterogenic group of former rehabilitation patients.Methods: This cross-sectional survey used the Self-Regulation Assessment (SeRA), Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-participation (USERParticipation) and the Patient-Reported-Outcome-Measurement-System (PROMIS) ability and PROMIS satisfaction with participation in social roles, and the EuroQol-5L-5D and PROMIS-10 Global Health. Regression analyses, controlling for demographic and condition-related factors, were performed.Results: Respondents (n = 563) had a mean age of 56.5 (standard deviation (SD) 12.7) years. The largest diagnostic groups were chronic pain disorder and brain injury. In addition to demographic and condition-related factors, self-regulation subscales explained 0–15% of the variance in participation outcome scores, and 0–22% of the variance in HRQoL outcome scores. Self-regulation subscales explained up to 22% of the variance in satisfaction subscales of participation (USER-Participation and PROMIS) and the mental health subscale of the PROMIS-10. Self-regulation subscales explained up to 11% of the restriction and frequency subscales of participation (USER-Participation) and the physical health subscale of the PROMIS-10.Conclusion: Self-regulation is more strongly associated with outcomes such as satisfaction with participation and mental health compared with outcomes such as restrictions in participation and physical health. LAY ABSTRACTThis article provide insights into the assocations between self-regulation, participation and health-related quality of life. This was studied in a rehabilitation population. Diagnostic groups included were: brain injury, chronic pain disorder, spinal cord injury, neurological and neuromuscular disorder, musculoskeletal disorder and oncology. We found that persons with higher levels of self-regulation, experience more satisfaction with their functioning in the community and experience less mental health problems. Also, when persons have trust in themselves, they tend to have less mental health problems and are more satisfied in their daily life.

Authors: Ruruk Laurencya Hellene Larasati , Rosiandani Ni Luh Putu
Published: February 2023

In this present time, women are still oppressed and considered as the inferior class to men. One of the literary works containing the evidence is The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. The monologues inside it share the experiences of various women who have been physically, mentally, and sexually terrorized. From those experiences of the women in the monologues, this study tries to identify the sexual terrorism that is experienced by each woman in each monologue, and at the same time, tries to examine the resistance of the women towards the sexual terrorism.Men use sexual terrorism as a tool to control womens autonomy over their own body, sexuality, and reproduction. It occurs to any woman in any situation. Sexual terrorism is there to keep women in the subordinate position. The awareness of the women towards the sexual terrorism triggers their resistance towards it. Each woman experiences different situation of sexual terrorism, therefore their ways of resisting the terror are also varied. Feminism approach is used in this study in order to see the accurate analysis of the condition of the woman in each monologue.Keywords: sexual terrorism, women, resistance

One of recent problems in our country is the habit of being consumerist buying things whichare not needed to update the trend. Some people think that it is not a big problem, but some do not.Avoiding its negative effect is the answer to this problem. This can be done through learning pastexperiences in the literary works, in this case Fitzgeralds novel. The Great Gatsby depicts not onlylove but also consumerism. Through analyzing the sign of green light using Umberto Ecos semiotictheory, we can see the bad effect of consumerism in the past and anticipate it for our future byapplying its oppositional structure. The sign of green light is not merely an orgiastic feature. It is atool for Fitzgerald to fight consumerism effect.
The Use of Second Person Pronouns in Shakespeare�s Tragedy of Hamlet and Macbeth
Authors: Putranti Adria Indah
Published: February 2023

This article concerns on the use of second person pronouns thou and you in Shakespeares Tragedy of Hamlet and Macbeth. Throughout the history of English language, second person pronouns have undergone many changes until they become only one form you. In the earlier period, the distinction between thou and ye was in a matter of the number of people being addressed. However, in early modern English, the use of second person pronouns did not depend only on the number of people, but also on the power and solidarity relations. Dealing with its changes, the use of second person pronouns thou and you in Shakespeares plays is interpreted in this article. Results show that Shakespeares plays provide a different view of the use of these pronominal forms. Nevertheless, Shakespeare actually follows the rule of pronominal forms dictated by society, yet some cases show inconsistency. The inconsistency refers to the switching between thou and you. It indicates that something emotionally happens among the characters which can be observed through their conversations.

Published: February 2023

In addition to consisting of an interesting story, a novel may consist of lessons to learn. V.S. Naipauls Miguel Street reflected realities of People in Trinidad. The cynical words in the novel tell how people live in poverty. It is not only a story of past events but also a valuable text to see and learn actual realities of education. There are two lessons that readers can learn from the words. First, what adult people do are lessons for the teenagers. When the adult show bad characters teach how to do bad conducts, the teenagers will easily see and do the same things. When the adults resort to violence in their families, the teenagers will resort to the same things outside homes. When the adults drink alcohol and consume drugs, the teenagers will try and do the same, or even, worse. They will run out of their homes and find other places to live. The matters will deteriorate when the teenagers do not have proper education. It is a threat of character education. Second, there are always heroes in communities. Parents are some of them. The heroes provide poor children and teenagers with proper education. They show that there is always a valuable thing to do in poor condition. It shows that poverty does not only supply threats of character education but also opportunities of it. The schools should conduct good education. The schools should educate mind and heart.

Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby that was first published in 1925, a novel about a man named Gatsby who wants to get his love back by making effort to be a rich person. The prominent color symbols and how the symbols represent the American Dream are the main concern of this article. Two objectives are set to guide the study of the novel. The first is to explai the color symbols that are prominent in the study, and the second is to analyze how the color symbols represent the American Dream. From the analysis, there are three prominent colors presented in the novel: green, white and gold. Green that symbolizes the American Dream of the better life and happiness can be seein in the green light, the green leather conservatory, the green-house, the apple-green shirts, the green jersey, the green card, the green Sound, and the green breast of the new world. White symbolizes the American Dream of of fame, wealth, perfection, innocence, and success. This color can be seen in the white palaces of fashionable East Egg, the white dress, the white windows, the white roadster, the white cards, and the white flannel suits. Gold that symbolizes the American Dream of material prosperity can be seen in the golden arm, the golden shoulder, the gold-colored tie, and the toilet set of pure dull gold color.

The Transitivity Process Patterns and Styles in the Characterization of the Protagonist Character in Phuoc�s �The Story of Tam and Cam�
Authors: Manggala Simon Arsa
Published: February 2023

This paper is based on the notion in Stylistics that the study focuses on language use, the purposes, and the effects (Verdonk, 2002). The data is taken from one of the stories from Vietnam. The story is selected since the plot shares similarities in terms of the plot with the popular Cinderella stories. Therefore, readers are familiar with the plot since Cinderella stories exist in many cultures and languages (Tatar, 1999). The language use is reviewed by utilizing transitivity analysis (Matthiessen Halliday, 2004) to examine the processes in the characterization since transitivity analysis is a significant analytical tool in accounting ideational perspective systematically (Simpson, 1993). Further, the choice of processes and patterns lead to the discussion on the purposes and effects. The examination on the transitivity analysis shows that the processes employed to characterize the protagonist character are material, mental, relational, verbal, and behavioral processes. The processes might reveal particular significant to the process of characterization. For instance, material processes frequently dominate the characterization of the main character. Thus, the character is mostly characterized by what they do and what happens with them. The other transitivity processes resemble the purpose and effect based on their meanings. Hopefully, this paper might serve an example of how to examine the language patterns in a literary work to further observe the purposes and the effects of the patterns.

Authors: C.J. Juvrianto
Published: February 2023

Speech act takes a significant role in the whole process of teaching and learning process by the teacher and students. In line with this topic, this study aims to observe more about the use of speech act by the teacher and students in their interactions in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. This study shows that there are three kinds of speech acts performed by the teacher and students: locutionary act, illocutionary act and perlocutionary act. Those speech acts are supported by theories of J.L Austin who investigated and invented the use of speech act. The result of the study indicates some uses of speech act performed by the teacher and student which is elaborated into extract explaining more about the use of speech act in EFL classroom. Locutionary act performed by the teacher and students is used when they are conveying an expression without any specific intention within. On the other hand, illocutionary act is committed by them when they are communicating some expressions containing a certain intention to the listener. Perlocutionary act is performed by the teacher and students while they are conveying expressions and the listener will show a response and act as feedback to what the speaker says. Hopefully, the study will help both teachers and students in the implementation of good communication.Keywords: speech acts, teacher and student interaction, EFL classroom
Componential Analysis of Headgear in English
Authors: Rizka Haira
Published: February 2023

This research aims to: (1) classify the hyponym of headgears in English based on their dimensions, (2) examine meaning relations of hyponym and superordinate, and (3) investigate the meaning relations of each co-hyponym. This research employs componential analysis of Kreidler (1998) to examine hyponym components of headgears in English. This is a descriptive qualitative research which describes componential analysis of headgears in English. The data were collected through observation and note taking technique. The collected data were then analyzed by employing textual analysis method. The findings reveal that: (1) 24 hyponyms of headgear are classified into 4 dimensions: wearer, shape, material, and function, and they expose the shared and differentiating features of each hyponym; (2) meaning relation of superordinate can substitute its hyponym, while hyponym cannot substitute its superordinate because the characteristics or features of a hyponym do not include all characteristics or features of a superordinate; (3) meaning relation of co-hyponym is not substitutable because each lexeme (hyponym) has differentiating features and semantic meaning. It is concluded that by employing componential analysis, similar lexemes show their differences.Keywords: componential analysis, headgears, hyponym, superordinate

Authors: Saimima Leendert Farrel , Mulyani Sri
Published: February 2023

This study is conducted to analyse the masculinity in Jorge Gutierrezs The Book of Life. The study is also conducted to discuss the variety of masculine characteristics within The Book of Life. The film takes place in a little Mexican town called San Angel where the protagonist, Manolo Sanchez, must choose between his family heritage to become the next Sanchez bullfighter or to become himself in his own image. The main objectives of this study are to explore the characters environmental structure, to distinguish the different characteristics of masculinity between them, and to relate masculinity with bullfighting in The Book of Life. This study uses gender and film approach. Gender approach is used particularly on masculinity since it is the primary discussion in this thesis while film approach is used to aid the researcher to determine where the masculinity is shown in The Book of Life. The method of this research is conducted through film and script analysis. Specific shots and lines from the script are analysed then discussed with the theories regarding masculinity and film.The result shows that Manolos masculine characteristics predominantly lies on Male Sex Role Strain, homosexual masculinity, and imposed environment. Meanwhile, Joaquin and Carlos shares the same masculine characteristics; they dominate the Male Sex Role Identity in all four themes and have the same hegemonic masculinity. Though their environment is nothing alike, Joaquins selected environment and Carloss constructed environment proved to be more masculine than Manolo. From these, the relations between the masculine characteristics particularly on Plecks Male Sex Role Identity and bullfighting shows that the various mise-en-scne displays the facial expressions of Manolo and Carlos frequently on scenes where the activity of bullfighting occurred. The framing language is dominated between MS (Medium Shot) and ECU (Extreme Close-Up) shot. Lastly, the continuity editing in The Book of Life is more dominant in the 180o Rule and Shot/Reverse Shot.Keywords: masculinity, gender study, film study
Nonlinear Dynamic Motivation-oriented Taxonomy of L2 Strategies based on Complex Dynamics Systems Theory
Authors: Bahari Akbar
Published: February 2023

The need for a revisited framework of strategies in keeping with the nonlinear dynamic nature of motivational factors in L2 teaching led to the introduction of a taxonomy of nonlinear dynamic motivation-based strategies (NDMSs). This psycho-socio-cultural template suggests discovering dynamic motivational factors at individual level and integrating them into multiple parallel groups within a learner group instead of creating them which is a traditionally established function of motivational strategies to impose superficial cohesion on a learner group without catering for chaotic, emergent and dynamic individual motivational factors. Given the heterogeneity, dynamicity, and nonlinearity of the motivational factors at individual level, the first implication of the study is that NDMSs have the potential to activate identified motivational factors toward an adaptive and autonomous L2 motivation state regardless of their homogeneity or heterogeneity. Secondly, NDMSs have the potential to enable teachers to recruit the learning energy (i.e. motivation) from every member of the group via a dynamic and nonlinear set of motivational strategies instead of imposing a preset set of motivational strategies to all members of the group to elicit/facilitate/encourage equal performance from a motivationally heterogeneous learner group under the pretext of generating a cohesive learner group. Keywords: L2 motivation, nonlinear dynamic motivation-based strategies (NDMSs), complex dynamics systems theory (CDST)
The Contrastive Componential Analysis of the English Verb �to love�
Authors: Xenia Tia
Published: February 2023

It has been commonly understood that a word is rich in synonyms; however if those synonymous words are analyzed comprehensively, it shows that they do not exactly denote the same meaning. In order to distinguish one meaning to the other meaning, the features of each synonym are classified to obtain the distinctive features. The aims of this study are to identify the distinctive features of the lexical items that are synonymous with the English verb to love and to explain the polysemy of that English verb. The English verb to love was taken as the object since it is a basic general English word that appears frequently in everyday contexts. To analyse the data, the researcher listed down the synonyms of to love. After that, those synonyms were contrasted to obtain the distinctive features. By comparing the meanings of to love to the distinctive features obtained, the polysemy could be found and explained. This paper shows that there were sixteen synonymous verbs, 29 distinctive features that were classified into seven major features, and six polysemy of the English verb, to love.Keywords: meaning, componential analysis
Types and Functions of Interjections in Wole Soyinka�s Ala?pata? A?pa?ta and Yoruba Speech Community
Authors: Omotunde Samuel Adebayo , Agbeleoba Samuel Oyeyemi
Published: February 2023

Interjections are universal means of communication among human beings which pass across different emotions and information in different cultures and languages. However, while some are found in nearly all languages but with varied meanings and functions according to context, some are peculiar to specific languages and cultures. This work, therefore, investigates the functions and meanings of both universal interjections (specifically Oh and Ah) and the Yoruba language specific interjections found in Wole Soyinkas Ala?pata? A?pa?ta. The work also discusses two other significant Yoruba language specific interjections although they are not found in the analyzed text. The authors chose the text because it is replete with interjections Oh and Ah which carry various meanings and perform various functions (few of which have not been discussed in the literature) and also because it contains the Yoruba language specific interjections which probably have not been investigated in the literature, thereby contributing to knowledge.Keywords: universal interjections, Yoruba language specific interjections, Ala?pata?
