‘YES, WE CAN’: THE USE OF DEICTIC UTTERANCES IN THE INAUGURAL SPEECH OF PRESIDENT NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO
Authors: Addo-Danquah Rosemary Gifty , Partey Faustina Amponsah, , Nyarko Ansa Alberta Dansoah, , Yeboah Eric 
Published: December 2023

The study examines President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's use of personal pronouns to create different identities and to sway public opinion, and support for a political goal in his inaugural address. The goal of the study is to identify the individual to whom the President is referring when he employs the personal pronoun ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘you’, and ‘we’. The key emphasis of the study is to determine whom the President refers to when he uses the personal pronouns I and me, you, and us from the three-tier analytical framework of Fairclough (1980) thus description, interpretation, and explanation. The results suggest that the pronominal choices and their referent swing greatly depending on the context of the speech. The findings reveal the ideologies that Nana Addo aims to espouse. Again, the findings have far-reaching consequences for inaugural address research as a tool for understanding the relationship between rhetorical substance and style and the characteristics unique to presidential political and social perspectives.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0014/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The presence of confirmation bias in the recycling habits of individuals in Indonesia resulted in the occurrence of motivated reasoning
Authors: Wiradimadja Dafi Dinansyah , Mori Hisatsuna 
Published: December 2023

The complexity of Indonesia's waste problem can be attributed to the lack of awareness among the general public regarding the potential repercussions of garbage. Another element that contributes to the issue is the increasing standard of living within the community. However, there is a lack of agreement on waste management practises and a lack of community engagement in maintaining cleanliness and effective trash disposal. The data utilized in this study were collected by several methods, including direct observation, semi-structured interviews, review of secondary material, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. There are numerous factors that contribute to the unreasonable behaviour exhibited by respondents. The decision-making process and behavioural patterns of individuals are significantly influenced by various internal elements, particularly those of a psychological nature. The research showed that highly significant number of respondents have adequate knowledge regarding waste separation and the notion of what they should do for environmentally sound village, but 64% still burn their garbage and 76% not separating it. Various individual variables and psychological situations, such as confirmation bias, might contribute to environmentally unfriendly behaviour, despite individuals possessing adequate knowledge. Even the presence of appropriate trash disposal options may have limited impact on altering their behaviour. The subsequent topic of discussion pertains to the presence of biassed behaviour, which can significantly influence individuals' decision-making processes, particularly in relation to activities such as burning waste. While individuals may possess a cognitive awareness and express their thoughts explicitly in this regard, it is often the case that their motivations unconsciously shape their judgements, often without their own realisation. For instance, individuals who refute the degradation of their surroundings sometimes remain unaware of how their inclination towards maintaining a clean home or backyard bias their evaluation of the available in-formation they already gain. Based on the findings of the research, it can be observed that a significant proportion of individuals residing in Bendungan Village engage in the practise of waste disposal.

Desa Sungai Nyirih, as one of the coastal villages in Jawai District, West Kalimantan, has the potential for a mangrove ecosystem with a diversity of aquatic biota, including bivalves. Most of the coastal communities in West Kalimantan catch and consume shellfish because it contains high nutrients. Therefore, shellfish can be an alternative source of animal protein. The aim of the study was to identify the genus of bivalves in the mangrove area of Desa Sungai Nyirih, Jawai District, West Kalimantan. The collection of bivalves was carried out using the exploratory method, as many as ±5 individuals of each genus were collected and all genera of bivalves were identified. The results showed that there were two genera found, such as the cockle (Geloina expansa) and the blood clam (Tegillarca nodifera).
Discourses on War and Peace in a Professional Ethics Classroom
Authors: V.K. Karthika  
Published: December 2023

Empty seats, uninterested faces and distracted student behaviour are general characteristics of the classroom where humanities subjects are taught to students of science and technology. In this article, I discuss my experience of teaching a course, Professional Ethics, that is generally discarded by the students as ‘an additional burden’ made mandatory by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for securing a bachelor of technology degree from Indian institutes of higher education. The teaching note documents the initial attitude of students towards the course content, the process of their transformation into imbibing the essence of the course, and finally the outcomes of the adapted teaching method. Socratic questioning on memes and news reports was used to sensitise the students towards the ethics of war and weapon development. In other words, the teaching process was a discourse of peace building by engaging students in sustainability dialogues.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to explore predictors of academic achievement with association of parenting style and personality traits. After a review of the detailed literature the following hypotheses were formulated; a) parenting styles would be the predictor of personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism), b) personality traits would be the predictor of parenting styles (supportive parenting, compassionate parenting, controlling parenting, avoidant parenting and orthodox parenting), c) there would be positive relationship between academic achievement and parenting styles (supportive parenting, compassionate parenting, controlling parenting, avoidant parenting and orthodox parenting), d) There would be positive relationship between academic achievement and personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism). The total sample was N=500, (male 50% and female 50%) between 18-30 years. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from government universities of Faisalabad. In addition, to explore findings, following psychological measures was used i.e. Perceived Dimensions of Parenting Scale (PDPS) and Big Five IPIP Personality Scale used to measure participant’s personality traits. The descriptive statistical and regression analysis of variance tests was used and the findings showed that there is a significant prediction between parenting styles and academic achievement (R2 =.083; F (1,498) = 44.87 p<.001). The findings of the study showed that there is significant prediction between personality traits and academic achievement (R2 =.251; F (1,498) =116.83 p<.001). It is concluded that parenting styles and personality traits have significant predictions in academic achievement among adolescents.

Authors: Saira Abbas  , Atta Aqsa 
Published: December 2023

This research endeavors to address three intricately formulated research inquiries pertaining to Chris Varney's oratory endeavors. Firstly, it scrutinizes the sociocultural structure inherent in Varney's speeches, aiming to unravel its nuanced contributions to a more comprehensive comprehension of the construction of strength within the domain of autism. Subsequently, the investigation delves into Varney's adept utilization of motivational stimuli and techniques, informed by the tenets of "Motivational Theory," to impart motivation and instill self-acceptance among autistic children. Lastly, the research contemplates the rhetorical framing discernible in Varney's speeches, elucidating its capacity to offer a novel and profound understanding of resilience within the context of autism. Employing qualitative and descriptive methodologies, the analysis integrates critical discourse analysis with theoretical frameworks, namely Fairclough Three Dimensional Model and Maslow's Motivational Pyramid, relying on a corpus of five transcribed speeches gleaned from YouTube. The synthesis of these findings contributes significantly to advancing a nuanced comprehension of the multifaceted dimensions surrounding strength and resilience in the discourse on autism.

International Fair of Plovdiv in Bulgaria’s Trade Relations with Underdeveloped Countries in the Second Half of the 1950s
Authors: Mitova Mirena 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Josef Stalin’s death in 1953 was the cause of a change in the policy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Eastern bloc. If this led to a tentative détente on the European continent in East-West dialogue, Nikita Khrushchev’s new policy toward the Third World strained competition with the United States for strategic influence over postcolonial countries. Eastern European states were encouraged to increase their contact with the former colonies at all levels. Therefore, participation of underdeveloped countries increased at the International Fair Plovdiv in the 1950s. Research curiosity, however, was sparked by the following questions: What was the place of the International Fair Plovdiv in the context of struggle for Third World countries and markets? Did Bulgaria use it only as a weapon in the Eastern bloc’s common diplomacy, or did it have economic benefits for expanding trade relations with underdeveloped countries? This article tries to answer these questions by referring to archival documents, reports in periodicals, and Bulgarian and foreign publications on the subject.
Çukurova ve Çevresinin Coğrafî-Stratejik Önemi ve Bölgenin İşgal Edilmesinin Sebepleri
Authors: Günay Nejla 
Published: December 2023

Çukurova, located in the middle of the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Region, is a geographical term that refers to Adana and its surroundings. Adana is bordered by Kayseri to the north, Kahramanmaraş and Gaziantep to the east, Niğde and İçel to the west, and Hatay to the southeast. Adana and its surroundings have coasts, important ports such as Mersin and Iskenderun, and large and fertile plains in the interior. From these fertile plains and parts of the Taurus Mountains, there are roads to these ports and inland. The reasons such as the proximity of the region to Syria and Egypt, and the cultivation of industrial products such as cotton and citrus, caused England and France to be interested in these regions and enter into competition. After the First World War, Çukurova and its surroundings were occupied first by England and then by France. A repatriation decree was issued for Armenians who had previously been sent to other regions. Meanwhile, some Armenians who had joined the "Eastern Armenian Legion" came to occupy their homeland wearing French uniforms. The French decided to keep the Armenians in Adana, Antep, Maraş and Urfa, regardless of their hometown, so that they could form a majority in their occupation areas. This view was also shared by the British General Allenby. In this way, England would assume the protection of the Armenians in Çukurova, and thus gain their intimacy. However, the simultaneous dispatch and resettlement of thousands of people would have strained the occupation armies. According to the Armistice of Mudros signed with the Allies, Turkish troops in Northern Syria and Çukurova would be disbanded and the Turkish army would withdraw to Ulukışla. Mustafa Kemal Pasha, seeing that this would leave the Turkish people in the region completely defenseless, advised the Turkish leaders to prepare for the resistance.

Rauhattomat unet: painajaisten historiaa
Authors: Korhonen Anu 
Published: December 2023

Kannattaako historiantutkimuksessa tutkia asioita, joita ei ole oikeasti tapahtunut? Voivatko vaikkapa unet, jotka uneksija toki unissaan kokee mutta joiden suhde ulkoiseen todellisuuteen on hämärä ja välittynyt, auttaa meitä ymmärtämään menneisyyttä? Tarkastelemme tässä teemanumerossa pahojen unien ja painajaisten historiaa ja esitämme, että unilla on paljon annettavaa historiantutkimukselle. Unien historialliseen tutkimukseen liittyy kuitenkin monia käsitteellisiä ja menetelmällisiä haasteita, ja niiden suhdetta menneisyyden ihmisten maailmaan ja kokemuksiin on syytä pohtia kriittisesti.
