scholarly journals The Art of Writing an Article

The advent of information technology and the required information at the finger tips by using search engines writing an article is not that much difficult as it before. Hence, the author should be very careful in preparing a manuscript, citing the references, preparing an abstract and a good title, otherwise the article is likely to be rejected by the publishers. If the title is heart, abstract is the soul then eyes and ears are references and reviews. Title is a most important part of an article because it is a gateway to the content of a research article. A good title to the research article is the one which is able to focus the research work to the fullest extent. Likewise, an abstract is like a trailer and should give stimulation to the reader to go through the entire article. On the other than if the reader is unimpressed with the information in the abstract the reader will never read the article and the very purpose of publishing an article is nullified. A good abstract should be honest, trustworthy and summary of the manuscript with a continuity of thoughts. The purpose of references in any article is to identify and locate the source of information used for justifying the need for conducting the research work. While citing the references the author should take into account by giving the relevant citations in an appropriate manner as desired by the editorial board of the Journals. The other obligatory on the part of an author of an article is he should satisfy not only the editorial board of any Journal but also the peer reviewers whose comments are necessary for publication. Peer Review is an important element in the research process before publication and this review makes the road either to publish or to reject the article. It is important for the author while submitting the manuscript to prepare a covering letter and it should contain why this article is important to the journal and its readers. The author while preparing the manuscript should follow the ethics according to the nature and subject matter. The author should be careful in choosing the relevant subject the source of information, preparing right title, scripting good abstract and finally an acceptable manuscript.

My apologies to Mr. Chrétien and to your readers for “developing some simplistic formulas on Burundi” in my quest for “media success.” No such simplistic formulas enter his criticism of my Congressional testimony. On the one hand, I am taken to task for not conceding that my interpretation of the Hutu-Tutsi conflict as a recent phenomenon is the product of Chrétien’s “patient research work” over the last quarter of a century; on the other hand, “some very similar analysis” had appeared in my “excellent work of 1970,” which came out long before Mr. Chrétien embarked on his patient research! Try to figure that one out if you can.

The concept of “Dramatic Illusion” is never thought of today in conjunction with Charles Lamb. Rather it is chiefly associated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, for two good reasons. Coleridge's position on this difficult topic is, in the final analysis, a middle of the road one, between the extremes, say, of Castelvetro on the one hand and Dr. Johnson on the other. Second, his formula, “the willing suspension of disbelief,” whether adequate or not, is so effectively put that it has been granted a degree of acceptance which a less vivid phrase might never have received.

ABSTRACTThis contribution examines the truck stop on the desert track known as the Forty Days Road that connects the Sudanese capital with Darfur and the regions beyond. The truck stop is represented as the main roadside institution to regulate roadside sociality, channel the relationships between travelling and roadside folk, and generally mediate between residents and strangers. On the one hand, it serves as a gateway to small-town Sudan and the hinterland, providing the social infrastructure for the commercial flow of trucks, commodities and passengers as well as for the flow of news and fashions. On the other hand, by catering for the needs of passing truck drivers and other travellers, it operates as a safe haven. It provides shelter in the most comprehensive sense of the word and thus constitutes a protected place for recovering from the pains of travelling. At the same time, however, these roadside practices of brokerage and hospitality also serve the resident society of small-town Sudan as a means to keep the travelling strangers safely apart in a circumscribed domain and, thus, keep the influences from the road in quarantine.

The Web has become a huge and indispensable source of information to be used and shared globally, where knowledge is commonly represented and stored in RDF, or alternatively, in conceptual graphs. Managing and searching for web information have gone beyond the relational database model, as the data are semi-structured and inexact answers are often the case. Usually, approximate searching results are due to mismatching between entity types and names in a query and an answer. Firstly, this research work focuses on partial subsumption of a query graph to an answer graph, which is an unsymmetric measure in contrast to similarity. Secondly, it proposes a population-based method for defining subsumption degrees between entity types, one to another, and a class-sensitive soft TF-IDF method for entity names. Lastly, on the one hand, for a user-friendly interface and easily readable query expressions, conceptual graphs are employed at the front-end. On the other hand, in order to take the advantage of the existing platform of SeRQL, an exact RDF query language, the query modification tactic is used to retrieve the knowledge graphs that are close to a query graph, before the subsumption degrees of the query graph to those answer graphs are calculated.

In its “Climate Protection Program 2030”, the German Federal Government has brought an instrument back to life which was last used after the German unification to speed up infrastructure development: the approval of traffic infrastructure projects by laws on measures rather than by plan approval decision. As a result of the faster expansion of rail and inland waterways, as much traffic as possible should be shifted from the road to these modes of transport. In preparation for these legislative steps, a study has been commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Transport, which has been reproduced in this volume. On the one hand, it analyses in detail the constitutional requirements under which such measures are permitted. On the other hand, it develops proposals for the distribution of tasks between the actors in a planning procedure concluding with a legislative act.

This article discusses the phenomenon of openness and its nomadic nature in the activities of Jewish actors performing in Kaunas during the first Lithuanian independence. Jewish theatre between the two world wars had an active and intense life in Kaunas. Two to four independent theatres existed at one time and international stars were often touring in Lithuania. Nevertheless, Lithuanian Jewish theatre life was never regarded by Lithuanian or European theatre society as significant since Jewish theatre never had sufficient ambition and resources to become such. On the one hand, Jewish theatre organized itself in a nomadic way, that is, Jewish actors and directors were constantly on the road, touring from one country to another. On the other hand, there was a tense competition between the local Jewish theatres both for subsidies and for audiences. This competition did not allow the Jewish community to create a theatre that could represent Jewish culture convincingly. Being a theatre of an ethnic minority, Jewish theatre did not enjoy the same attention from the state that was given to the Lithuanian National Theatre. The nomadic nature of the Jewish theatre is shown through the perspective of the concept of nomadic as developed by Deleuze and Guattari.

The study of naive perceptions of certain fragments of reality helps to identify the specifics of the national consciousness of the people who speak a particular language. The article deals with a systematic description of naive ideas about the soul and spirit (as similar concepts) fixed in the Polish picture of the world. Contemporary ideas about the soul and spirit in the Polish picture of the world are formed under the influence of pagan folk beliefs (the soul as a transparent, thin matter filling the human body), scientific views on the world (the soul as a combination of psychological, intellectual, emotional features of a person), as well as religious views (the soul as an intangible, immortal foundation in a man, reviving his body and leaving him at the time of a death). Soul and spirit are conceptualized as essences inextricably linked with the human body. Conceptual metaphor allows to concretize, to give conditional visibility to such abstractions as “soul” and “spirit”. In the Polish naive picture of the world the soul / spirit is endowed with signs of a living creature (including a person), plants, artifacts such as paper, fabric, book. The metaphor of space allows to imagine the soul as a kind of receptacle, which has a bottom and is characterized by signs of depth and breadth, fullness or emptiness. The metaphors of the characterizing type focus on significant for representatives of Polish culture signs of the soul, such as purity, kindness, strength, etc. The concepts “soul” and “spirit” being significant for Polish lingvoculture have multiple representations in the language through words, as well as free and stable combinations that are metaphorical in nature. The soul in the Polish naive picture of the world, on the one hand, is a source of life in a person, on the other hand, is the source of information about him, as well as his internal regulator and some value.

Twin tales are short on survivors. On the one hand is the threat of implosion; on the other, outsiders can shatter the twin relationship. This fine line is walked by Quentin and Antoine, the protagonists of Pascal Alex Vincent’s Donne-moi la main (2008), who hitchhike from France to Spain to attend their mother’s funeral. Vincent’s film is both a twin tale and a road movie. In this mix, there is the potential for generic conflict since, in contrast to the claustrophobia of the twin relationship, the road movie emphasises a mobility which is emancipatory. Drawing on the work of Juliana de Nooy and on theory relating to the road movie, this article examines how Vincent’s film juggles the restrictions of the twin tale with the freedom of the road. In doing so, it questions the extent to which the road movie might offer liberation from hegemonic masculinity for its protagonists.

The strange words in the glorious Qur’an, called ‘gharib’ words, are one of the most important examples of linguistic and rhetoric Qur’an inimitability. It materializes the very limits of the Arabs to understand some originally Arabic words in the Qur’an. With the increasing of Qur’anic studies on the one hand, and the spreading of Islam into non-Arabic nations on the other hand, the science of gharib appeared, and gave birth to the creation of gharib glossaries, which started from the time of Sahaba, and which still continues to exist so far. This study tackles the following problematic: “What are the motives of gharib glossaries creation? And what are the main differences in their creation? The study assumes that there are some motives for the creation of gharib glossaries, and some differences in their creation. The study adopts a descriptive and comparative method to describe motives and compare differences. The main results of this theoretical study shows that the motives of creating gharib glossaries lie in rooting gharib science, serving and understanding Qur’an, and serving and enriching Arab language, while the differences lie in the method of ordering gharib words, the method of explaining gharib words, the method of entitling gharib glossaries, and the method of creation between gharib and exegesis scholars. The study aims at highlighting the importance and the specificity of gharib science, and thus, showing the importance of gharib glossaries, so as to facilitate the research process therein, and insist on the necessity of concerting efforts to promote their creation. The study gives roots to gharib science, which in turn gave birth to the gharib glossaries creation. It also sums up the differences in their creation which scholars referred only to some of them and in dispersed references.

In assessing the extent to which creative works by post-migratory artists are shaped by the legacy of the colonial era in present-day France, we delineate a spectrum stretching between two poles – on the one hand, postcolonial entrenchment, and on the other, post/colonial detachment – between which lie a range of more nuanced and multi-polar positions. Politically hard-edged rappers typify the more entrenched end of the spectrum, positioning themselves in conflict with the state and appealing to audiences in which post-colonial minorities are to the fore. More consensual positions, suggesting that France is moving or has moved beyond the polarized divisions of the colonial era, tend to characterize the work of artists such as professional dancers benefiting from public funding and others, such as the filmmaker and actor Dany Boon, whose minority ethnic origins have been largely effaced in productions that have achieved high-profile box office successes among broadly based audiences. The works of many other post-migratory artists are positioned between and in some respects disjunct from these poles, tracing multi-polar trajectories in which Anglophone spaces often displace the binary logic of (post-)colonialism. At the same, many of these artists complain that, no matter how hard they may try to leave behind divisions inherited from the colonial past, they remain in many ways framed by them in majority ethnic eyes, suggesting that a long journey still lies ahead on the road from a neo-colonial to a post/colonial France.
