Rewriting our comments and revisiting revision practices: new concepts for sustainable instruction in the writing classroom
No full textThe driving instructional tool in the majority of writing classrooms, comments, is failing students and instructors because comments are a tool, and not a technique. The utility of comments within the writing classroom is only as strong as its pairing with other instructional techniques. Using comments to teach comments is a flawed method of instruction, and if instructors want to properly use comments within their classes, they must first show their students how to use these techniques in improving their writing. Thus far, the focus of facilitating student revision and student growth within writing classrooms has been on the study of specific comments written by instructors on student papers. The study of such comments reveals the differences in styles, modes, and voices projected from those instructors, but it does reveal much about the intended goal of such comments, the advancement of student writing. Looking back on previous research and incorporating a multifaceted approach to revision helps to build sustainable writing instruction. A review of literature of comments suggests placing students in the center of the classroom by enabling students to take control over the revisions of their own work. This process cannot be done without teaching students how to do things with comments and how to use comments to their advantage. Starting from Joseph Harris’ Rewriting, the same steps toward revision which Harris suggests of students should be copied and applied to the way in which instructors facilitate such revision within the classroom. The improvement of student writing requires several steps which target particular issues with the status quo of commenting, and the use of Harris’ text will enable us to identify the steps. Incorporating revision into the classroom, inviting students into conversation about their text, and opening the lines of communication can help improve revision practices in writing classrooms. Through incorporating a new mastery model within the writing classroom, a technique that begins to show students how comments are made and what to do with them, students can begin to internalize the many processes which they can apply to any writing. The teacher’s goal is to help the student internalize the concepts and apply without the direct instruction of the teacher; however, many writing classrooms have lost this focus. If teachers refocus the classroom on the process of writing and even the process of editing and revising, students will become not just stronger students but writers. Adjustments in the writing classroom cannot occur overnight, but incorporating revision techniques into the course will eventually pay off as students learn to revise their work. These techniques, although not new, can prepare students for writing outside the composition classroom.M. A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Roni L. Bie
Dialettica della durata e vita intima. Attualità di Bergson tra accelerazione del tempo e alienazione sociale
No full textIn this paper the Author focuses on the legacy of dialectics through Bergson’s considerations about time and language, recalling two great interpreters of his philosophy: Giuseppe Prezzolini and Gaston Bachelard. If for the former the «philosophy of contingency» enhances the transformation of social reality, preserving, in consonance with Victor Egger’s
book La parole intérieure, the freedom of inner language, the latter proposes a break of the Bergsonian temporal continuity by opting for a plural and discontinuous duration. Thanks to these readings, it is possible to discover the temporal dialectic which regulates contemporary societies, that is, the acceleration of time and the contraction of memory, in order to develop a more humane way of living time and, consequently, to decline the problem of intersubjectivity in an intercultural perspective
Leon Garfield
No full textThrough his historical novels, adventure stories, ghost stories, satires, fairy tales, and retellings of myths and legends, Leon Garfield consistently portrays the mystery of human identity, which he describes as "the only mystery one can unravel endlessly." In this first book-length study of the author of Smith (1967), The Apprentices (1976), John Diamond (1981), and The December Rose (1986), Roni Natov engagingly chronicles the career of a natural storyteller, a man whose work is permeated with the theme of spiritual renewal

Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).Transforming long-term conflicts into peaceful intergroup relations is one of the most difficult challenges for humanity. Such meaningful social changes are often driven by young people. But do young people living in contexts of long-term conflicts believe that change is even possible? In a series of six studies (Ntotal = 119,671) over two decades and across two unrelated intractable conflicts in Israel/Palestine and Cyprus, we found that younger (compared to older) generations from both respective rival groups have less hope for peace, and consequently less conciliatory attitudes. We also show that this gradual improvement of peace-promoting emotions and attitudes with increasing age can be experimentally accelerated in young people through a virtual reality-based aging simulation. These findings provide a new perspective on the fundamental question of why long-term conflicts are so difficult to resolve and highlight the importance of instilling hope in young generations to advance peace processes.Peer reviewe
Island zombie Iceland writings
No full text"Roni Horn (b. 1955) is a prominent contemporary artist known for her sculptures, photography, and installations inspired by landscape and the natural world, and especially the isolated landscapes of Iceland, where she has travelled and lived for substantial periods of time since the early 1970s. Horn's work explores geology and climate; the interplay of nature, art, and place; and the relationships between words, appearance, androgyny, and the self. Horn is author of more than twenty books and artist's books, and is herself the subject of more than thirty books and exhibition catalogs, including a survey published by Phaidon and many by Steidl. Examples of her work include You Are the Weather (1994-96), a series of photographs of a young woman bathing in Icelandic hot springs; Pair Objects (1988), identical metal sculptures placed in two different locations; and the installation Library of Water (2007) in Iceland, with columns that enclose water from melting glaciers. Horn is arguably the most important visual chronicler of the landscape of Iceland. Upon graduating from her MFA program at Yale, she traveled to Iceland, journeying across its interior on a motorcycle. Over thirty years, she has continually returned to Iceland to explore and record the astonishing beauty of its geology, climate, and culture. This book will contain a range of texts, from evocative vignettes to illustrated essays written for Iceland's most widely-read newspaper. A combination of artists' writings and travelogue, the texts reveal Iceland as one of Horne's most important influences and inspirations, and record a unique and beautiful environment undergoing climate change"-

No full textMy dissertation project is a novel. The year is 1986, and the setting alternates between the small, isolated town of Eudora, Alabama, and Birmingham, that sprawling industrial city founded after the Civil War. The main character, Roni, short for Veronica Silvering, is the only daughter of Sadie Silvering, a backwoods Alabama mystic and healer, of sorts. The supernatural powers that Sadie exhibits are passed down only through the maternal line of families, from mothers to daughters. The central conflict of the novel lies in the fact that Sadie wants Roni to continue her mother’s work as a healer after she dies, but Roni has already determined the path her own life will take. Roni is independent and, at the age of 22, is already busy at work creating a future for herself as an artist, far removed from the culture and landscape of her childhood. Tension results from the consistent tug that Roni feels toward the life created for her by her mother and the life she has envisioned for herself.Embargo status: Restricted until 06/2162.

Leder miljökontroverser till minskad finansiell prestation? : En longitudinell studie om miljökontroverser och miljöbetygets modererande effekt
No full textTitel: Leder miljökontrovers till minskad finansiell prestation? En longitudinell studie om miljökontroverser och miljöbetygets modererande effekt Nivå: Examensarbete på Grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Roni Sener Handledare: Jan Svanberg Datum: 2021 - September Syfte: British Petroleums oljeläckage i den Mexikanska golfen och Volkswagens fusk för att lura kontrollerna av deras bilars utsläpp är miljökontroverser som har fått stor uppmärksamhet i media under 2010-talet. Frågan kring företagens miljömässiga ansvar är något som har lyfts som en respons. Då tidigare studier finner motstridiga resultat gällande miljöarbetets modererade effekt efter miljökontrovers och att variabeln miljöbetyg har skapats, så är syftet med denna studie att undersöka miljökontroversers effekt på det finansiella resultatet samt ESG-betygets miljödimension modererande effekt efter en eventuell miljökontrovers. Metod: Studien har en positivistisk forskningsfilosofi med en hypotetisk-deduktiv ansats. Det är en kvantitativ studie med longitudinell design över 5 år på 252 bolag som ingår i STOXX Europe 600 Index. Studien baseras på sekundärdata inhämtad från Refinitiv Eikon och har analyserats i statistikprogrammet SPSS. Resultat & Slutsats: Studiens resultat finner att miljökontroverser har en negativ inverkan på det finansiella resultatet när det gäller Tobin’s Q men på ROE och ROA existerar ingen signifikans. Miljöbetyget minskar inte sambandet mellan miljökontroversbetyget och Tobin’s Q när det läggs till i analysen. Slutsatsen blir därmed att miljökontroverser har en negativ inverkan på den finansiella prestationen men miljöbetyget modererar inte den negativa effekten. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien fyller gapet från tidigare studier då detta är den första som studerar enskilda dimension i ESG-betyget. Den ökar även tidigare empirisk forskning gällande kontroverser negativa inverkan på den finansiella prestationen. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Utrymme lämnas att undersöka andra beståndsdelar inom ESG. Vidare lämnas utrymme gällande företagens geografiska plats. Banker och försäkringsbolag har exkluderats vilket ger utrymme att undersöka de sektorerna. Nyckelord: CSR, ESG, företagskontroverser och miljöprestation.Title: Does environmental controversies lead to decrease in financial performance? A longitudinal study about environmental controversies and the environmental score’s moderating impact Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Roni SenerDate: 2021 - September Aim: British Petroleum’s oil leakage in the Gulf of Mexico and Volkswagens cheating to trick emission tests are example of environmental controversies that have gotten a lot of attention in the media during the second decade of the 21st century. The question has been raised about corporations environmental responsibility as a response. Previous studies have reached contradicting results when it comes to the environmental strategies moderating role after an environmental controversy, therefore the aim of this study is to study environmental controversies impact on the financial performance and the environmental score’s moderating impact after a controversy. Method: This study has a positivistic research philosophy with a hypothetical- deductive approach. It is a quantitative study with a longitudinal design over 5 years on 252 companies that is included in the STOXX Europe 600 Index. It is based on secondary data that has been obtained from Refinitiv Eikon and was later analyzed in the statistical software SPSS. Result & Conclusions: The result of this study is that environmental controversies have a negative impact on Tobin’s Q but there is no significance when it comes to ROE and ROA. The environmental score does not alleviate the relationship between the environmental controversy score and Tobin’s Q when it gets added to the analyzation model. The conclusion is thereby that environmental controversies have a negative impact on the financial performance, but the environmental score does not moderate the negative impact. Contribution of the thesis: This study fills the gap from previous studies because it is the first one to study only one factor in the ESG-score. It also adds to previous empirical research when it comes to controversies negative impact on financial performance. Suggestions for future research: A gap to research other factors within ESG has been left. Furthermore, it leaves a gap for the corporations’ geographical location. Banks and insurance companies has been excluded with leaves future research to be conducted in that sector. Key words: CSR, ESG, corporate controversies and environmental performance
Positive social acts : a metapragmatic exploration of the brighter and darker sides of sociability /
No full textSociability is friendly behavior that is performed by a variety of positive social acts that are aimed to establish, promote, or restore relationships. However, attempts to achieve these interactional goals can fail or backfire; moreover, interactants may abuse these strategies. A pragmatic focus on positive social acts illuminates the ways they succeed in promoting sociability and why they sometimes fail to enhance social relations. This Element analyzes positive social actions receiving positive and negative meta-pragmatic labels, such as firgun and flattery, in the Hebrew speaking community in Israel. Adopting a meta-pragmatic methodology enables a differentiation between positive communication and its evaluation as (in)appropriate in context. The conclusion discusses the fuzzy line between acceptable and unacceptable positive behavior and the benefits and perils of deploying positive social acts in interaction. It also suggests a conceptualization of the darker and brighter sides of sociability as intrinsically connected, rather than polar ends.Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 19 Dec 2022).Sociability is friendly behavior that is performed by a variety of positive social acts that are aimed to establish, promote, or restore relationships.
