This essay introduces the main themes of Scrivere di Islam. Raccontare la diaspora. It focuses on the historical, cultural and literary encounter between Italy and Somalia with a particular emphasis on Shirin Ramzanali Fazel’s life and literary career. It also discusses the impact of immigration literature on the Italian literary and cultural field. The analysis presents collaboration as a decolonial practice, which can produce unconventional outcomes such as a hybrid text like Scrivere di Islam. Raccontare la diaspora. Collaboration between writers and scholars can enrich critical enquiry and create texts and activities that potentially have a broader impact on a general audience.

The Impact

Long and short sentences affect the reader’s pace of reading story since they have to farce the complexity of the sentences and words used in it. In this study the impact of the use of long and short sentences on the pace of the story as implemented by Anthony Horowitz, a novelist, in his novel Raven’s Gate, is being explored. Especially the researchers looked at what types of long and short sentences were being used in the novel and how they were building up the story line and their effect on the pace of the story. A sentence with the length of up-to fourteen (14) words is considered to be short and the one over 14 words is considered to be long in spite its grammatical form, whether it is simple or complex. The criteria are based on empirical study as mentioned by Casi Newell in the AJE (American Journal Experts) retrieved from https://www.aje.com/en/arc/editing-tip-sentence-length/, that “the average sentence length in scientific manuscripts is 12-17 words,” with JK Rowling—the writer of Harry Potter—who can be considered to be representative of a modern English writer with a general audience, having the average of 12 words. For convenience we take the liberty of taking 14 words for the longest sort sentences and those which have 15 or more words are considered to be long sentences

New Situation

The integration process has brought certain advantages in all fields in general as well as in cultural field in particular. Besides, the influence of foreign culture tends to push back traditional cultural values. To overcome those challenges, it is essential to preserve and promote the traditional cultural values of Vietnam in the integration process. Thus, those issues that have been posed for upholding the traditional values of Vietnam can be solved by some solutions such as: Promoting the role of Vietnamese people in preserving the traditional cultural values in Vietnam today; Further enhancing the management role of authorities at all levels in perpetuating and stimulating the traditional cultural values in the integration process; Ensuring infrastructure for preserving traditional cultural values; Further strengthening the role of the law in administration of traditional culture to adapt to the new situation. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0770/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The Impact

Over the last 2 decades, the scientific and popular media have been bombarded by gloom-and-doom stories on the future of fisheries, the status of fish stocks, and the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems. Dozens of certification and labeling schemes have emerged to advise consumers on what seafood is sustainable. In recent years, an opposing narrative has emerged emphasizing the success of fisheries management in many places, the increasing abundance of fish stocks in those places, and the prescription for sustainable fisheries. However, there has been no comprehensive survey of what really constitutes sustainability in fisheries, fish stock status, success and failures of management, and consideration of the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. This book will explore very different perspectives on sustainability and bring together the data from a large number of studies to show where fish stocks are increasing, where they are declining, the consequences of alternative fisheries management regimes, and what is known about a range of fisheries issues such as the impacts of trawling on marine ecosystems. Aimed principally at a general audience that is already interested in fisheries but seeks both a deeper understanding of what is known about specific issues and an impartial presentation of all of the data rather than selected examples used to justify a particular perspective or agenda. It will also appeal to the scientific community eager to know more about marine fisheries and fishing data, and serve as the basis for graduate seminars on the sustainability of natural resources.

The subject of digital game preservation is one that has moved up the research agenda in recent years with a number of international projects, such as KEEP and Preserving Virtual Worlds, highlighting and seeking to address the impact of media decay, hardware and software obsolescence through different strategies including code emulation, for instance. Similarly, and reflecting a popular interest in the histories of digital games, exhibitions such as Game On (Barbican, UK) and GameCity (Nottingham, UK) experiment with ways of presenting games to a general audience. This article focuses on the UK’s National Videogame Archive (NVA) which, since its foundation in 2008, has developed approaches that both dovetail with and critique existing strategies to game preservation, exhibition and display.The article begins by noting the NVA’s interest in preserving not only the code or text of the game, but also the experience of using it – that is, the preservation of gameplay as well as games. This approach is born of a conceptualisation of digital games as what Moulthrop (2004) has called “configurative performances” that are made through the interaction of code, systems, rules and, essentially, the actions of players at play. The analysis develops by problematising technical solutions to game preservation by exploring the way seemingly minute differences in code execution greatly impact on this user experience.Given these issues, the article demonstrates how the NVA returns to first principles and questions the taken-for-granted assumption that the playable game is the most effective tool for interpretation. It also encourages a consideration of the uses of non-interactive audiovisual and (para)textual materials in game preservation activity. In particular, the focus falls upon player-produced walkthrough texts, which are presented as archetypical archival documents of gameplay. The article concludes by provocatively positing that these non-playable, non-interactive texts might be more useful to future game scholars than the playable game itself.

Theatrical Culture

The concept of Lithuanian choreography is presented considering its specifics, based on the influenceof the development of this cultural field and on the impact produced by the heritage of different cultures and artistic schools. Ballet is the latest professional branch of Lithuanian theatrical culture, and since the beginning it was closely connected with the ballet artists who came to Lithuania from abroad and worked here for a shorter or longer period. That’s why the phenomenon of Lithuanian choreography should be associated not only with the choreographers and artists born and raised in Lithuania, but also with those who came to Lithuania as guest choreographers. The main aspect which determines the Lithuanian origin of their work is the originality of choreographic concept and the creative process with a very active participation of the Lithuanian Ballet Company. Foreign choreographers enriched the repertory of Lithuanian ballet in several ways. First of all, they created ballets on the music of Lithuanian composers, and ten Lithuanian ballets were produced this way: “Lithuanian Rhapsody” by Jurgis Karnavičius (1928, Pavel Petrov), “In the Whirl of Dance” by Vytautas Bacevičius, “Jūratė and Kastytis” by Juozas Gruodis, “Matchmaking” by Balys Dvarionas (1933, Nikolaj Zverev), “The Fading Cross” by Antanas Rekašius (1966, Konstantin Bojarskij), “The Maiden and The Death” by Anatolijus Šenderovas (1982, Ülo Vilimaa), “Desdemona” by Anatolijus Šenderovas (2005, Krill Simonov), “Acid City” by Mindaugas Urbaitis (2000, Krzysztof Pastor), “Čiurlionis” by Giedrius Kuprevičius (2013, Robert Bondara), “Eglė the Queen of Grass Snakes” by Eduardas Balsys (2015, George Williamson).As interpretations of classical heritage created in close collaboration with Lithuanian ballet dancers and soloists two productions could be named: “Coppélia”by Léo Delibes (2010, Kirill Simonov) and “The Nutcracker” by Piotr Tchaikovsky (2014, Krzysztof Pastor). Five original contemporary ballet performances were created for the Lithuanian Ballet Company: “Contrasts”, “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky and “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff (respectively, 2000 and 2003, Xin Peng Wang), “Sisyphus” (2001, Pascal Rioult) and “Diaghilev. Phantasies” (2008, Peter Anastos). In certain cases the significant artistic input into the above-mentioned productions was made by Lithuanian visual artists: costumes by Adomas Varnas (“Lithuanian Rhapsody”) and Aleksandra Jacovskytė (“Acid City”, “The Rite of Spring”), set design and costumes by Telesforas Kulakauskas (“In the Whirl of Dance”), Adomas Galdikas (“Jūratė and Kastytis“), Stasys Ušinskas (“The Matchmaking”), Antanas Pilipavičius (“The Fading Cross”), Henrikas Ciparis (“The Maiden and the Death”), sets by Adomas Jacovskis (“Acid City”, “The Rite of Spring”, “Carmina Burana“).

The Relationship

Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between indexicality, standardization policy and socioeconomic inequalities in the Galician linguistic field (as a minor language of Spain). I will examine the discursive role of Galician elites in the building of indexical orders from the Renaissance movement (19th century) onwards, and its links to the current negative representations of rural Galician. Also, I will explore the relationship between anti-rural prejudices, ideologies of class and standard ideologies, showing how common speakers share the stigmatizing indexical values of the elites, and rural speakers consent to the symbolic violence of which they are victims. Finally, I adapt the concept of gentrification from contemporary urbanism to the linguistic field in order to explain the impact of elitist academic lingualizing discourse on traditional speakers of Galician and also on the value of their varieties in the linguistic market. I support my analysis on the metalinguistic discourse of members of the intellectual elites authorized in the Galician linguistic and cultural field from Renaissance to contemporaneity, attitudinal matched-guise research, and ethnographic studies of the second millennium.

Abstract. Communication about hydrology-induced hazards is important, in order to keep the impact of floods, droughts et cetera as low as possible. However, sometimes the boundary between specialized and non-specialized language can be vague. Therefore, a close scrutiny of the use of hydrological vocabulary by both experts and laypeople is necessary. In this study, we compare the expert and lay definitions of 12 common water-related terms and 10 water-related pictures to see where misunderstandings might arise both in text and pictures. Our primary objective is to analyze the degree of agreement between experts and laypeople in their definition of the used terms. In this way, we hope to contribute to improving the communication between these groups in the future. Our study was based on a survey completed by 34 experts and 119 laypeople. Especially concerning the definition of water-related words there are some profound differences between experts and laypeople: words like river and river basin turn out to have a thoroughly different interpretation between the two groups. Concerning the pictures, there is much more agreement between the groups.

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.
