<p class="Abstract">This article is intended to describe linguistic aspects played by the cartoonist in creating jocular discourse and to view how those discourses are also exploited to deliver social criticisms against various social phenomena happens in Javanese community. All data presented are collected from Djoko Lodang, one of about three Javanese magazines that is nowadays still published in Java. After having carefully analyzed the data collection, it is found that there are many kinds of linguistic aspects which are very common to be used for creating humorous texts. Those are sound change, polysemy, idiom, homonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and pragmatic usage. Even though most of the discourses are created to carry out their primary function for expressing jokes, many of them are also made for deliver social criticisms, such as criticism against social poverty, injustice, betrayal and dishonesty, impoliteness, crimes, violence, environment destruction, etc. These findings indicate that study on cartoon discourse from various perspectives, particularly from linguistic view point, plays very central role, in order to understand and to solve social problems occur in the society.</p>

Critical Commentary

This paper offers a critical commentary on Mark Bevirʼs recent book A Theory of Governance from the perspective of normative political philosophy. It explores three ways in which Bevirʼs analysis can be brought into dialogue with political philosophy. First, it considers the role of generalizations in successful explanations of social phenomena. Second, it explores how a decentred theory of governance can help identify solutions to important social problems. Third, it explores the relation between Bevirʼs account of governance and theories of deliberative democracy.

The purpose of this research is an analytical analysis of the compression process (including deletion and merging) in old cinematic films compared to new cinematic films in Persian language. The old cinematic films selected for this study include two films, "Kaiser" and "Treasure of the Qaroon," and new cinematic films that examine two films," Life+1 Day "and “Lottery.” The theoretical framework has been used in Cognitive Phonology, Bybee (1999). The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical, and data collection is in library method. All the data has been pulled out from the dialouge of films, which been examined the compression process in the old and new films separately. In this research, we first examine the Utterance and discourse of the intended films in detail. At the end of the work, the elements of the Persian language are analyzed. The results indicate that the compression process in Persian language films has been araised, and in cases where more compressions have been done, their frequency has been higher. That is, in " Life+1 Day and “Lottery’s film, there are more compression processes than "Kaiser" and Treasure of the Qaroon’s film. The fact that the two categories of nouns and verbs are part of the basic entity of a phrase, such that if these categories are frequent then they are compressed or eliminated. On the other hand, the presence of an adjective, adverb, or letter to describe the replacement of noun or verb in the conceptual connection, which is sufficient to represent them, and this will support with Bybee's view point. So the compression, deleting or merging processes in data has shown less frequently.

Data collection based on standardized questionnaires represents one of the central tools in many research areas. Early surveys date back to the 18th century (de Leeuw, 2005), while a major breakthrough came in the 1930s with the application of probability samples. By using surveys, today governments monitor conditions in the country, social scientists obtain data on social phenomena and managers direct their business by studying the characteristics of their target customers. The importance of survey research stimulates ongoing efforts to achieve higher data quality and optimized costs. Early on researchers recognized the potential of technological advances for the achievement of these goals. In the early 1970s telephone surveys started replacing expensive face-to-face interviews. Computer technology developments soon enabled computer-assisted telephone interviewing (“CATI”). The 1980s brought new approaches based on personal computers. Interviewers started to use laptops and respondents sometimes completed questionnaires on their own computers. Another revolution occurred with the Internet in the subsequent decade. The pervasive availability of Internet access, and the growing number of Internetsupported devices, coupled with the advance of interactive Web technologies (like Ajax) are facilitating developments in contemporary survey research. Internet surveys show the potential to become the leading survey approach in the future. According to the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (“CASRO”), the Internet already represents the primary data collection mode for 39% of research companies in the USA (DeAngelis, 2006). The rate of adoption is slower in academic and official research but it is far from negligible. These technological innovations have, however, created several new methodological challenges.

Adequate Data

Compliance with law is an inevitable problem, but it is particularly challenging for international legal regulation. An increasingly popular way of tackling this problem is to develop quantitative measures of performance that provide an apparently objective measure of compliance. However, a closer look at how quantitative measures such as indicators work show that they are often oversimplified, inaccurate, and politically influenced. This chapter discusses indicators for corporate social responsibility, human rights, trafficking, and the UN system of Sustainable Development Goals, showing that they are all efforts to produce objective data, but that the results are far from certainty. The difficulty of defining these broad social concepts clearly, the complexity of measuring them in a wide variety of national and local contexts, and widespread limitations on funding for data collection undermine their capacity to provide a full and accurate picture. Statistical knowledge provides one way of promoting global governance through law, but it is hindered by the difficulty of converting such complex social phenomena into numbers. Nor can it entirely escape the influence of politics or the shortage of funds to support adequate data collection.

The article attempts a reconstruction and an in-depth characterization of the connections between basic sociological research and their applications for solving social problems. For W.I. Thomas and F. Znaniecki, social phenomena and processes that arose in American cities under the influence of mass migration processes at the turn of the 19th century constituted the starting point of their research program. By conducting sociological research, originally intended as applied sociological research, they decided that in order to create conditions for rational social control over socially unacceptable phenomena it was crucial to formulate a theoretical model, which would serve as a basis for describing, explaining and predicting the researched phenomena. Consequently, it would allow presenting the key conditions for creating rational techniques for controlling the environment on the basis of scientific research. The present article contains an analysis of the following elements: assumptions regarding the rational technique models, the relationship between the aforementioned type of technique and other techniques, the relationship between this type of technique and theoretical knowledge in social sciences, assumptions with respect to scientific knowledge in sociology that it needs to meet in order to constitute a foundation for solving social problems strategies.

Despite growing scholarly interest in residential segregation in Central and Eastern Europe, thus far insufficient attention has been paid to understanding marginalization in these postsocialist transition societies through the perceptions of stakeholders. The present article reports the findings of a qualitative study of the perceptions of urban social problems in the city center of Prague, Czechia. Semistructured interviews with the key actors involved in the city’s social development are used to understand what social phenomena they perceive as problematic, how they localize them within the urban space, and how their perceptions translate into policy attitudes. We find that stakeholders emphasize the issues of homelessness, drug addiction, and the appropriate delivery of social services in their narratives. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the repressive nature of policy interventions partly results from a lack of experience of overcoming such societal issues and partly results from weak coordination at the city level.
