Simple headgear can hardly be seen as an enticement to commit a crime. In order to awaken criminal energy, a cap must go through a series of transformations: only so ennobled can it become the object of a crime. There is a short story by Thomas Bernhard that relates the disturbing development of a mundane found item into the object of a crime. In his text ‘Die Mütze’ [The Cap], a scientist plagued by head troubles searches for the rightful owner of a cap he finds. Being unable to track down its owner, he increasingly begins to worry that he is nothing better than a common hat thief. The tale ends with the scientist, martyred by terrible feelings of guilt, finally putting on the cap, which in the future will warm him at his writing desk.3

Abstract This article evaluates the function of Yiddish-Hebrew creative diglossia in the work of Yosl Birshteyn, a prominent Israeli novelist and short-story writer, particularly in the “first Kibbutz novel” in Yiddish, Hebrew-Yiddish fiction based on the Israeli stock market crash, and the future of Yiddishism in Hebrew and Yiddish. In short, Yiddish acts as a layer of all texts as a fact of communal pain and uncertainty in past, present and future. Birshteyn’s Hebrew originals were translated back into Yiddish and his Yiddish work was translated into Hebrew by famous and representative hands with stylistic and linguistic consequences examined here.

Hope is a category of transcedence, by means of which a man does not permit what he senses and experiences to be the sole criterion of what is possible. It is the belief or the conviction that present reality (what I see) does not exhaust the potentialities of the given data. Hope opens the present to the future; it enables a man to look ahead, to break the fixity of what he observes, and to perceive the world as open-textured. The categories of possibility and of transcendence interweave a closely stitched fabric - hope says that tomorrow can be better than today.

Background: In machine vision, the 3D reconstruction is widely used in medical system, autonomous navigation, aviation and remote sensing measurement, industrial automation and other fields, and the demand for reconstruction precision is significantly highlighted. Therefore, the 3D reconstruction is of great research value and will be an important research direction in the future. Objective: By reviewing the latest development and patent of 3D reconstruction, this paper provides references to researchers in related fields. Methods: Machine vision-based 3D reconstruction patents and literatures were analyzed from the aspects of the algorithm, innovation and application. Among them, there are more than 30 patents and nearly 30 literatures in the past ten years. Results: Researches on machine vision-based 3D reconstruction in recent 10 years are reviewed, and the typical characteristics were concluded. The main problems in its development were analyzed, the development trend was foreseen, and the current and future research on the productions and patents related to machine vision-based 3D reconstruction is discussed. Conclusion: The reconstruction result of binocular vision and multi-vision is better than monocular vision in most cases. Current researches of 3D reconstruction focus on robot vision navigation, intelligent vehicle environment sensing system and virtual reality. The aspects that need to be improved in the future include: improving robustness, reducing computational complexity, and reducing operating equipment requirements, and so on. Furthermore, more patents on machine vision-based 3D reconstruction also should be invented.

 This thesis proposes that “George Silverman’s Explanation”—the last short story completed by Charles Dickens—should be read as Dickens’s final and most comprehensive treatise on writing. The argument states that Dickens, instead of outlining an explicit approach to the writing process, utilizes the narrative of George Silverman as an allegory to detail the formation of a story. The thesis suggests that the framework of “George Silverman’s Explanation” portrays the growth trajectory of the writer and his eternal struggle to create original work from the world of literature that precedes him. For a renowned author like Dickens, approaching his last short story as his departing discourse on the construction of literature is invaluable instruction for future writers. Interestingly, “George Silverman’s Explanation” is also Dickens’s least analyzed work. For this reason, this thesis addresses essentially all of the scholarship that has been written on the short story before preceding to add a new perspective on how the short story can be approached. Understanding this short story as a blueprint for writers provides an innovative and unique angle for approaching literature, since a writer reads with their eyes on the future—and the original works that they can create.

Should we be held accountable for what we imagine, but choose not to actually do? Does wrong thought always lead to wrong action? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, scientists have discovered a way to record dreams and make them available for playback. This quickly gives rise to the bootleg sale of horrible and wonderful dreams to a general public interested in ever-more spectacle. It also creates a market for buying and watching the dreams of celebrities. Finally, it brings about the government subpoenaing dreams to use as evidence in trials and, later, in helping it discover crimes that have not, but might, happen in the future.

This article focuses on the transformation and dimming lines between digital and physical worlds. Industrial Internet tools and applications also help people collaborate in a faster and smarter way – making jobs not just more efficient but more rewarding. Technological progress and economic growth are contributing to a seismic shift in the role that human beings play in the production process. Technological progress, notably in high-performance computing, robotics, and artificial intelligence, is extending the range of tasks that machines can perform better than humans can. The Future of Work is being shaped by a profound transformation, driven by the meshing of the digital and the physical worlds, the emergence of new design and production techniques, and a seismic shift in the role that human beings play in the production process. Technological progress is expected to push a growing share of the workforce toward creativity and entrepreneurship, where humans have a clear comparative advantage over machines.

The purpose of this study is to analyze language skills competencies using the intrinsic element of the short stories and its impact on students’ learning motivation using discovery learning method in senior high school. The research was Quasi-Experiment with a 2x2 factorial design. Data collection was conducted through two instruments items; non-test (questionnaire) for the learning motivation and test (essay) for the ability to identify intrinsic elements of short stories. The results of the research indicated that firstly, the ability to identify intrinsic elements of short stories of the students who were taught by using discovery learning method is better than students ability who were taughtconventionally. Secondly, it means that the ability to identify the intrinsic elements of short stories of the highly motivated students who were taught by using discovery learning method was higher than highly motivated students who are taught by using conventional method.. Thirdly, the ability to identify intrinsic elements of theshort story of students who have low learning motivation taught by using discovery learning method is higher than the students have low learning motivation taught by using conventional methods. Finally, there is no interaction between discovery learning method and learning motivation on the ability to identify the intrinsic elements of the short stories.From the result, it can be concluded that discovery learning methods can be used in learning ability to identify the intrinsic element of short stories.
