Preservation for Institutional Repositories: practical and invisible
No full textWith good prospects for growth in institutional repository (IR) contents, in the UK, due to the proposed RCUK policy on mandating deposit of papers on funded work, and internationally due to the Berlin 3 recommendation, it is timely to investigate preservation solutions for IRs. The paper takes a broad view of preservation issues for IRs - based on practice, experience and visions for the future - from the perspective of Preserv, a JISC-funded project. It considers preservation in the context of IRs. Based on the OAIS preservation model, an architecture is proposed to support distributed preservation services for IRs. Work performed so far involves adapting the IR user deposit interface in a pilot version of EPrints software for building IRs, and determining accurate file format information using Pronom software. The paper looks ahead briefly at the role of preservation service providers, working for the IR, within this architecture. The strategy is to take practical steps that are, as far as possible, invisible to all but those concerned with the preservation process for IRs
Building Quality Assurance into Metadata Creation: an Analysis based on the Learning Objects and e-Prints Communities of Practice
No full textThis paper challenges some of the assumptions underlying the metadata creation process in the context of two communities of practice, based around learning object repositories and open e-Print archives. The importance of quality assurance for metadata creation is discussed and evidence from the literature, from the practical experiences of repositories and archives, and from related research and practices within other communities is presented. Issues for debate and further investigation are identified, formulated as a series of key research questions. Although there is much work to be done in the area of quality assurance for metadata creation, this paper represents an important first step towards a fuller understanding of the subject.
A study of figurative language In “flashlight” song lyrics by jessie j
No full textLanguage is a basic human ability that enables effective communication and thinking. It is a tool to convey thoughts, ideas, concepts, and feelings, and plays an important role in building relationships. Figure language, such as personification, hyperbole, similar, and metaphor, is used to simplify meaning and make sentences more attractive. It's usually used in literary works, like songs, to connect with listeners who experience the same emotions. For example, Jessie J's song "Flashlight" uses figurative language to convey a message about overcoming difficulties and finding someone to support it.
The aim of this research was to find out what types of figurative language is in the lyrics of Jessie J's "Flashlight" and the meaning of the figurative languages contained in Jessie J's “Flashlight” song lyrics.
This research uses qualitative methods. The writer uses a document to collect data. The data used in this research is from a Jessie J song entitled Flashlight. The technique is to reduce data, display data, and verification the data. The data is based on the theoretical analysis of Keraf (1994).
The results of this study found that Jessie J's "Flashlight" song contained two types of figurative language and eight examples of representative language that emerged. Two kinds of graphic language are metaphor, and personification. Metaphor is a very dominant figurative language used in Flashlight songs by Jessie J. There are seven lines consisting of metaphors. In addition to obtaining the results of fictional language analysis, the author also found that the analysis of the meaning of the use of fictitious language in the song Flashlight that Jessie J's song entitled Flashlight has a connotative meaning.
This research reveals that Jessie J's "Flashlight" song uses figurative language in eight sentences, mainly metaphors and personification. These figurative languages provide vivid and engaging images, effectively conveying messages and attracting listeners' attention. Thus, figurative language plays an important role in lyrics

Investigating orthographic and semantic aspects of word learning in poor comprehenders
No full textThis study compared orthographic and semantic aspects of word learning in children who differed in reading comprehension skill. Poor comprehenders and controls matched for age (9–10 years), nonverbal ability and decoding skill were trained to pronounce 20 visually presented nonwords, 10 in a consistent way and 10 in an inconsistent way. They then had an opportunity to infer the meanings of the new words from story context. Orthographic learning was measured in three ways: the number of trials taken to learn to pronounce nonwords correctly, orthographic choice and spelling. Across all measures, consistent items were easier than inconsistent items and poor comprehenders did not differ from control children. Semantic learning was assessed on three occasions, using a nonword–picture matching task. While poor comprehenders showed equivalent semantic learning to controls immediately after exposure to nonword meaning, this knowledge was not well retained over time. Results are discussed in terms of the language and reading skills of poor comprehenders and in relation to current models of reading development

Crafting objects, selves, links: the embodied production of relational exchange in performances of craft in the United States
No full textUniversity of Minnesota Ph.D. dissertation. June 2011. Major: Theatre Arts. Advisors: Dr. Sonja Kuftinec Dr. Margaret Werry. 1 computer file (PDF); v, 262 pages."Crafting Objects, Selves, Links" formulates an ethnographic analysis of craft practice in the contemporary United States. Using performance as an analytic frame, the author examines the ways that crafters use the productive gestures of craft to generate opportunities for relational contact, achievement, learning, buying and selling, and other forms of exchange. The manuscript is divided into four sites: craft in recognizable sites of performance, the performance of leisure craft in craft circles, craft sellng spaces formed by crafter entrepreneurs, and sites on the World Wide Web where crafters take action together.Glover, Jessie.
