The problems of the relationship between language and society attract the attention of researchers from different countries representing various scientific areas: philosophy, history, biology, linguistics, theology, pedagogy, psychology, etc. This study actualizes the sociological approach to the study of the social determinants of the formation of polylingualism as a means of professional communication. According to the sociological results, about 70% of the world's population, to one degree or another, speaks two or more languages, which imposes additional obligations on workers providing international professional communications (Beacco, 2002). Modern multilingual interaction should not be one-sidedly understood only as a borrowing of professional foreign language terminology. It includes the social background of the linguistic material: traditions, mimic and pantomimic codes, the national picture of the world - and becomes the most important factor in professionalization. Methods of systemic and functional analysis, comparison. generalization and collection of empirical data (expert interviews, content analysis).

Sastrawan kampus lebih banyak didominasi lelaki.  Umumnya, sastrawan kampus memiliki latar belakang keluarga yang berkorelasi dengan dunia pendidikan. Kedua, sastrawan kampus umumnya lebih memilih memperhatikan hal-hal yang dianggap sering diabaikan dalam kehidupan untuk ditulis dalam karya mereka. Idealisme mengenai nilai-nilai otentik yang berbenturan dengan nilai pragmatisme masyarakat menjadi energi besar yang menggerakkan sastrawan-sastrawan kampus untuk menulis. Ketiga, sastrawan-sastrawan kampus umumnya tidak menjadikan menulis sebagai profesi utama mereka. Menulis adalah kerja sampingan. Sastrawan kampus tidak bergantung pada patronase tertentu.  Keempat, beberapa sastrawan kampus memiliki posisi yang cukup penting dalam sastra Indonesia. Posisi ini dipengaruhi oleh produktivitas karya, promosi dan publikasi, serta jejaring yang dimiliki.

Chinese studies have historically been shaped by change in political, social, and scientific institutions. Since the ’80s, China’s emergence into the world stage and change in scientific paradigms have spurred debate about the epistemological foundations of the field. Sinologists have been confronted with the need of identifying pathways to ensure that the knowledge they produce is relevant for science and society. The engagement with theoretical and empirical approaches employed by different disciplines, most notably the social sciences, has been a key element to their endeavours. This paper contributes to this on-going reflection, by benchmarking recent changes in Chinese studies at Ca’ Foscari University against global trends of evolution in area studies. Results show that the field has now multi-disciplinary features and has initiated a transition towards inter-disciplinarity. By endorsing the holistic approach to knowledge informing this transition, scholars in the field may strengthen the centrality of Chinese studies in scientific production processes concerned with the sinosphere.


THE modern scientist or historian looking back at the first quarter-century of The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge (to give it its original full name, for once), sees an organization of scientists and lovers of science which successfully fostered, encouraged and honoured the best scientific brains of a seminal period in science, when an extraordinary number of these brains were English. It is not easy to decide which among its many aims was responsible for its noted success, nor is it necessary to assume that a simple analysis would suffice. Many would see the prime factor to lie in its adherence to principles of experimental science; others to its bringing together of diverse kinds of men and the encouragement of virtuosi everywhere; others to the social background of the age (2). One, possibly minor but nevertheless important factor, was its role in diffusing information throughout the world of learning, and its encouragement to Fellows and non-Fellows alike to communicate to the world the information they possessed and the discoveries they had made.

Bernhard Waldenfels formulates the concept of everydayness as a “crucible of rationality”, in which everydayness is viewed as a social boundary and non-reflective social background of the subject’s interactions with the world of social reality. We explore the potential of everydayness in the detection of the identity of a social subject and rethink Waldenfels’s concept of everydayness. The research method is a phenomenological analysis. In everyday activities of the subject, structures of the humanity’s material culture are replicated and changed. The role of everydayness is growing in the modern world, along with the subjective role of a particular individual. The identification of the social subject in everydayness occurs at the level of natural and social corporeality, which is provided by the heuristics of the adaptive response to the transformation of social processes in the context of the subject’s everyday interactions. Everydayness is represented as constituent and constructive modes of the social being of the subject.

There is innumerable literature that have appeared in our Tamil language which is the most ancient language in the world. Tamil literature has reached various stages of development from the Tholkappiyar period to the twentieth century. During the Sangam period, Sangam literature, Sangam literature during the Maruviya period, epics during the Chola period and Medieval literature during the Nayakas period were well understood. Each period in which Tamil literature appeared reflected the social, political, cultural and economic backgrounds of the time. Literature also needs to change according to social background as time goes on. It is the literature that appears to bring about such change that is enduring. Conceived in the Tholkappiya Noorpa, the Sangam literature have undergone various stages of development in the devotional literature, and the epics that have evolved into separate literary genres which have multiplied beyond the tradition of ninety-six epics during the Nayakas period. Some of the best-known literature of a given period stops its developmental stage with that period. However, Medieval literatures have been revived in the twentieth century with various changes in the subject matter and structure of society.


The world is moving at a rate too fast for us to fathom. Our world is not functionally accessible for individual of any disability to be completely independent. For the mankind to move forward with time, a holistic approach in development can create an environment where no individual can feel overlooked. It is estimated that approximately 1.3 billion people live with some form of vision impairment out of which 36 million people are blind [1]. Without proper integration of such people in our society; every discovery, every news is creating a divide between the people whose mental abilities are impalpable otherwise. With this paper, our aim is to convert the Braille books written in regional language (in this case, Hindi) into its corresponding text format so that those people can be part of the world every Scientist, Engineer, a Visionary, every child dreamed of. In this project, a picture of braille text would be fed as an input and a series of techniques in preprocessing, Segmentation, Character Extraction, Character Recognition and Text Conversion will be applied to it resulting in an output image that will be the corresponding Hindi format of that braille text image. The main application of this could be seen in the lives of the families of the visually impaired to understand what is inscribed in the braille format, correction of the answer-script of any braille exams, cross-checking for errors in manufacturing of braille documents, and increase in opportunities for participation of visually impaired in the social section of life.

During the last twenty or twenty-five years medieval historians have been much interested in the composition of the English episcopate. A number of studies of it have been published on periods ranging from the eleventh to the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. A further paper might well seem superfluous. My reason for offering one is that most previous writers have concentrated on analysing the professional circles from which the bishops were drawn, and suggesting the influences which their early careers as royal clerks, university masters and students, secular or regular clergy, may have had on their later work as bishops. They have shown comparatively little interest in their social background and provenance, except for those bishops who belonged to magnate families. Some years ago, when working on the political activities of Edward II's bishops, it seemed to me that social origins, family connexions and provenance might in a number of cases have had at least as much influence on a bishop's attitude to politics as his early career. I there fore collected information about the origins and provenance of these bishops. I now think that a rather more careful and complete study of this subject might throw further light not only on the political history of the reign, but on other problems connected with the character and work of the English episcopate. There is a general impression that in England in the later middle ages the bishops' ties with their dioceses were becoming less close, and that they were normally spending less time in diocesan work than their predecessors in the thirteenth century.

Abstract. Background: The aim of this study was to identify dietary patterns associated with general and abdominal obesity in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: We included 728 patients (35 - 65 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in this cross-sectional study. The usual dietary intake of individuals over 1 year was collected using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Weight, height, and waist circumference were measured according to standard protocol. Results: The two major dietary patterns identified by factor analysis were healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns. After adjustment for potential confounders, subjects in the highest quintile of the healthy dietary pattern scores had a lower odds ratio for the general obesity when compared to the lowest quintile (OR = 0.45, 95 % CI = 0.26 - 0.79, P for trend = 0.02), while patients in the highest quintile of the unhealthy dietary pattern scores had greater odds for the general obesity (OR = 3.2, 95 % CI = 1.8 - 5.9, P for trend < 0.001). There were no significant associations between major dietary patterns and abdominal obesity, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusion: This study shows that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a healthy dietary pattern is inversely associated and an unhealthy dietary pattern is directly associated with general obesity.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.
