Multilingual manyardi/kun-borrk: manifestations of multilingualism in the classical song traditions of western Arnhem Land
No full text© 2016 Dr. Isabel Anne O'KeeffeWestern Arnhem Land (Northern Australia) is well known for its linguistic diversity and multilingualism. Less well known is the diversity of songs in this region and the way the multiple linguistic resources are deployed within them. This thesis focuses on the manyardi/kun-borrk public dance-song genre, found across western Arnhem Land. I particularly concentrate on five repertoires of manyardi/kun-borrk songs, drawing on my fieldwork recordings of performances and discussions of songs as well as previous research.
Employing both linguistic and musicological perspectives, this thesis examines the ways in which the manyardi/kun-borrk song traditions manifest linguistic diversity, multilingualism and the underpinning language ideologies of the region. I consider how and why different linguistic varieties are used within the repertoires and the role of sociolinguistic practices and cultural beliefs related to multilingualism across various aspects of the song traditions. Through detailed linguistic and musical analysis I show how multilingualism and the underlying language ideologies permeate the manyardi/kun-borrk genre from the macro-levels of the organisation of the song traditions and performance practices to the micro-levels of song-texts and musical elements.
In seeking to account for the manifestations of multilingualism within the manyardi/kun-borrk song traditions I draw on previous studies of sociolinguistic practices and cultural beliefs or ideologies related to multilingualism in the western Arnhem Land region and more broadly in Aboriginal Australia. I show the way that many of the language ideologies related to multilingualism in Aboriginal Australian are enshrined or embodied in the manyardi/kun-borrk song traditions. These song traditions therefore reinforce these ideologies and contribute to the resultant sociolinguistic practices as well as reflecting or being influenced by them. While the findings of this thesis relate specifically to the sociocultural and linguistic context of western Arnhem Land, I argue that they have wider implications for our study of multilingualism and of linguistic and musical diversity. I contend that considering both linguistic and musicological perspectives provides greater insight into our understanding of multilingualism and the factors that contribute to the fostering and maintenance of linguistic and cultural (including musical) diversity
Author Identification from Song Lyrics
No full textMachine Learning (ML) tools have been used extensively in a wide variety of domains
recently. Due the enormous amount of data being produced, machine learning techniques
are being heavily used to make sense of data & derive meaningful results. Using machine
learning tools, we can turn the data into knowledge.
Music is one of the truest forms of art. Bangladesh has a great history of music with a
great tradition of song writing over centuries. Authorship attribution is the way of
identifying the author from a linguistic corpus.
This paper demonstrates a guideline to identify the author of a Bengali song from the
lyrics of that song using machine learning. This research work presents the first work on
machine learning approach for author attribution from the lyrics of a song. Here six
methods of machine learning are used for the author identification and high accuracies
have been achieved from these methods. It is observed that Naïve Bayes method provides
higher accuracy in comparison with the other methods

Following footsteps: The kun-borrk/manyardi song tradition and its role in western Arnhem Land society.
No full textIn western Arnhem Land, a diverse song tradition—referred to as kun-borrk in Bininj Gunwok language and manyardi in Mawng language—continues to be passed down over many generations. Today, these songs play a central role in a wide variety of public occasions including funeral ceremonies, diplomacy or exchange ceremonies, formal events such as cultural festivals and informal excursions to ancestral country with family, or visiting researchers. Following in the footsteps of their fathers, grandfathers, and ancestors before them who sang in languages now endangered or understood only by ancestral spirits, Aboriginal songmen continue to teach these songs and their accompanying dances to younger generations, and compose new songs which have been given to them by deceased spirits in dreams, while women pass on their expertise in dancing and directing aspects of the ceremony, as well as their knowledge of particular song-sets. Bringing together historically and linguistically informed performance ethnography and music analysis, this thesis describes the social significance of western Arnhem Land song traditions to the everyday lives of both Bininj/Arrarrkpi (Aboriginal people) and Balanda (non-Aboriginal people). Each chapter analyses performances of kun-borrk/manyardi in different social contexts, which have in common the theme of intercultural encounter and exchange. The author traces his own journey on the road to learning about Bininj/Arrarrkpi culture by participating in social events in and around the communities of Gunbalanya and Warruwi in western Arnhem Land, accompanied by kun-borrk/manyardi songmen and their families. (Since many aspects of Aboriginal sociality and knowledge are gendered, the study reflects the perspective of men in particular that the author collaborated with). For hundreds of years since the arrival of Macassans from South Sulawesi to their shores, Aboriginal people have performed their songs in ceremony for outsiders and for neighbouring clan and language groups to establish good relations. This thesis shows how, as social circumstances in Arnhem Land change, kun-borrk and manyardi continue to play a fundamental role in mediating relationships and maintaining traditional culture and values, laying out a path for the next generation to follow
Development of a magnetic filter system using permanent magnets for separating radioactive corrosion products from nuclear power plants
No full textRadioactive corrosion products generated through the neutron activation of general corrosion products at nuclear power plants are the major source of occupational radiation exposure. Generally, radioactive corrosion products exit in soluble and insoluble forms, and are removed by ion exchangers and purification filters. Most of the insoluble radioactive corrosion products have the characteristic of showing strong ferrimagnetism. With the development and production of permanent magnets (rare earth magnets) capable of generating a much stronger magnetic field than conventional permanent magnets, a new type of magnetic filter that can efficiently separate radioactive corrosion products and eventually reduce radiation exposure to personnel at nuclear power plants is proposed and developed. Magnetic separation by using permanent magnets has certain advantages, such as high flow purification, high pressure and temperature operation, and energy saving. The magnetic separator consists of an inner magnet assembly and an outer magnet assembly, a coolant channel, and a container surrounding the outer magnet assembly. The rotation of the inner and outer permanent magnet assemblies by a driving motor system produces moving and alternating magnetic fields in the coolant channel, which is located between the two magnet assemblies. The particulate in the radioactive corrosion products is separated from the coolant by the alternating magnetic fields as a result of the shifting arrangement of the permanent magnets. This study describes the preliminary experimental results of using different particle sizes and various materials at the different flow rates and rotation velocities of the magnet assemblies. This new magnetic filter performs well in. filtering magnetite, cobalt ferrite, and nickel ferrite from aqueous coolant simulation

Robust JPEG steganography based on DCT and SVD in nonsubsampled shearlet transform domain
No full textSocial media platform such as WeChat provides rich cover images for covert communication by steganography. However, in order to save band-width, storage space and make images load faster, the images often will be compressed, which makes the image steganography algorithms designed for lossless network channels unusable. Based on DCT and SVD in nonsubsampled shearlet transform domain, a robust JPEG steganography algorithm is proposed, which can resist image compression and correctly extract the embedded secret message from the compressed stego image. First, by combining the advantages of nonsubsampled shearlet transform, DCT and SVD, the construction method for robust embedding domain is proposed. Then, based on minimal distortion principle, the framework of the proposed robust JPEG steganography algorithm is given and the key steps are described in details. The experimental results show that the proposed JPEG steganography algorithm can achieve competitive robustness and anti-detection capability in contrast to the state-of-the-art robust steganography algorithms. Moreover, it can extract the secret message correctly even if the stego image is compressed by WeChat.National Natural Science Foundation of China http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001809Natural Science Basic Research Plan in Shanxi Province of Chin
Semiotic Analysis of 'Kun Fa Yakoon' Song Using Riffaterre’s Theory
No full textThis article tried to find out the hidden meaning in the song Kun Fa Yakoon, written by Mohammad bin Dhahi, one of the most popular songs in the Muslim world during the pandemic Covid-19, not only due to the imitation of one of the current most popular Western songs, Memories by Maroon, but the acapella is also interesting due to the overwhelming symbols within the lyrics. Thus, new meanings need to produce to comprehend the song and its cultural context. This article aimed to deepen the comprehension of the song's message to result in an increased appreciation for art and a better understanding of the circumstances during the difficult times of the pandemic. The type of research conducted is qualitative research. In analysis, researchers used Riffaterre's Semiotics theory by identifying the Semiotic elements of the song, such as the use of metaphors and repetitions, then conducting heuristic reading and interpretation, and producing meaning through hermeneutic reading. The research findings indicate the discovery of meaning shifts in the form of metaphors and the creation of meaning through repetitions. In the heuristic analysis, ungrammatical elements like "من" (who) interrogative in conjunction with "إلاّ" (except) yield a new meaning that signifies a firm statement: "I bear witness." The global situation currently being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic also generates the meaning of earnestness in prayer and the high demand placed upon it. This represents the songwriter's response to the anxiety prevailing in society and signifies an increase in faith
