Nurturing Biophilia: Merlin and Sanderling
No full textThe author develops a narrative of Merlin predation to illustrate the growth of biophilia. Initially descriptive, the story evolves by following an iterative process of questioning and relationship building, which leads to an informed and purposeful application of biophilia
GAYA BAHASA FIGURATIF DALAM ANTOLOGI PUISI UNTAIAN ASA DI MUARA KERINDUAN KARYA METROPOLY MERLIN J. LIUBANA
No full textHumans use language as a communication tool to express ideas, main ideas, or certain intentions, whether spoken or written. Writing literary works is one of the significant functions of language. Through the use of imagination, authors create literary works of art. Literary works use figurative words (figurative speech) to convey a beautiful idea or main idea in the form of a certain meaning by the author. The author can convey a message with figurative language to evoke emotions, imagination, and enthusiasm in the reader's soul. This research aims to describe the use of figurative language in the poetry anthology Strand of Asa in Muara Kerinduan by Metropoly Merlin J. Liubana. The issue at hand concerns how figurative language styles are used in the poetry anthology “Untaian Asa di Muara Kerinduan by Metropoly Merlin J. Liubana. Additionally, the approach utilized is both descriptive and qualitative. The process of data collection involves reading, recording, classifying, and entering data into a database. This research utilizes data analysis techniques such as data reduction, data presentation, concluding, and verification. In the research, it was found that hyperbole 3 data, simile 1 0 data, allegory 1 data, personification 21 data, metaphor 2 data, synecdoche 1 data, and hypallage 1 data in the form of comparative figurative language, in addition, the figure of speech known as affirmation involves the repetition of three data points. The figure of speech of satire consists of a single satire, and the figure of speech of contradiction consists of litotes of one word. Furthermore, the personification figure of speech is the dominant form of figurative language, which is used to describe the speaker's character and actions, to make the poem livelier and clearer, it needs to include more characters

No full textA usability study in patients with stroke using MERLIN, a robotic system based on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation in the home setting
No full textPublisher Copyright: © 2021, The Author(s).Neuroscience and neurotechnology are transforming stroke rehabilitation. Robotic devices, in addition to telerehabilitation, are increasingly being used to train the upper limbs after stroke, and their use at home allows us to extend institutional rehabilitation by increasing and prolonging therapy. The aim of this study is to assess the usability of the MERLIN robotic system based on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation in people with stroke in the home environment.Peer reviewe
Measurement of disorder in non-periodic sequences
No full textAn information theoretic measure is introduced to compare the disorder in non-periodic sequences. It is shown that the measure correctly distinguishes quasiperiodic and aperiodic sequences which have been deduced from earlier studies using diffraction patterns, although it is often necessary to use a set of measures, depending on the order of the source used. The particular sequences studied are the Thue-Morse sequence and the generalizations of the golden mean sequence commonly studied in connection with quasicrystals.PT: J; CR: ALI MK, 1988, PHYS REV B, V38, P7091 BOMBIERI E, 1986, J PHYS-PARIS, V47, P19 BOMBIERI E, 1987, CONT MATH, V64, P241 BURROWS BL, 1989, INT J MATH ED SCI TE, V20, P913 CHENG Z, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P4375 GUMBS G, 1988, J PHYS A, V21, L517 GUMBS G, 1988, PHYS REV LETT, V60, P1081 GUMBS G, 1989, J PHYS A-MATH GEN, V22, P951 HAMMING RW, 1980, CODING INFORMATION T HOLZER M, 1988, PHYS REV B, V38, P1709 HOLZER M, 1988, PHYS REV B, V38, P5756 KOLAR M, 1990, PHYS REV B, V41, P7108 KOLAR M, 1991, PHYS REV B, V43, P1034 MA HR, 1988, J PHYS C SOLID STATE, V21, P4311 MERLIN R, 1985, PHYS REV LETT, V55, P1768 MORSE M, 1921, AM J MATH, V43, P35 MORSE M, 1921, T AM MATH SOC, V22, P84 NIU Q, 1986, PHYS REV LETT, V57, P2057 PENROSE R, 1974, B I MATH APPL, V10, P266 QIN MG, 1990, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V2, P1059 RIKLUND R, 1987, INT J MOD PHYS B, V1, P121 SHANNON CE, 1949, MATH THEORY COMMUNIC SHECHTMAN D, 1984, PHYS REV LETT, V53, P1951 THUE A, 1906, NORSKE VID SELSK IMN, V7, P1 THUE A, 1912, NORSKE VID SELSK IMN, V1, P1; NR: 25; TC: 13; J9: J PHYS-A-MATH GEN; PG: 9; GA: GC466Source type: Electronic(1

No full textThe rise and fall of the Labour league of youth
No full textThis thesis charts the rise and fall of the Labour Party’s first and most enduring youth organisation, the Labour League of Youth. The history of the League, from its birth in the early nineteen twenties to its demise in the late nineteen fifties, is placed in the context of the Labour Party’s subsequent fruitless attempts to establish and maintain a vibrant and functional youth organisation. A narrative is incorporated that illuminates the culture, organisation and political activism of the League and establishes it as a predominantly working class radical organisation. The reluctance on the part of the Labour Party to grant autonomy to its youth sections resulted in the history of the League of Youth being one of control, suppression and tension. This state of affairs ensured that subsequent youth groups, the Young Socialists and Young Labour, would be established in an atmosphere of reservation and scepticism.
The thesis places the prime responsibility for the failure of the party’s youth organisations with the party leadership but also considers the contributory factors of changing social and political circumstances. A number of themes are explored which include the impact of structure and agency factors, the power of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the political socialisation of leading figures within the party, the social context in which each of the groups emerged and the extent to which the youth groups were prey to intra-party factionalism.
The thesis redresses the balance of research where most accounts have focussed on the Young Socialists and traces the common characteristics that are prevalent in the way the party leadership has approached its relationship with its youth organisations. Use has been made of previously unpublished primary source material, the major source being the League of Youth members themselves whose recollections have helped to demonstrate the arguments put forward in this thesis
Fundamental differences in the radio properties of red and blue quasars: kiloparsec-scale structures revealed by e-MERLIN
No full textRed quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are a subset of the quasar population with colours consistent with reddening due to intervening dust. Recent work has demonstrated that red QSOs show special radio properties that fundamentally distinguish them from normal blue QSOs, specifically a higher incidence of low-power radio emission (1.4 GHz luminosities L1.4 ≈ 1025–1027 W Hz−1) that is physically compact when imaged by arcsecond-resolution radio surveys such as FIRST. In this work, we present e-MERLIN imaging of a set of intermediate-redshift (1.0 2 kpc). We report a statistically significant difference in the incidence of extended kpc-scale emission in red QSOs. From an analysis of the radio size distributions of the sample, we find that the excess radio emission in red QSOs can be attributed to structures that are confined to galaxy scales (10 kpc). Our results indicate that the primary mechanism that generates the enhanced radio emission in red QSOs is not directly connected with the nuclear engine or accretion disc, but is likely to arise from extended components such as AGN-driven jets or winds. © 2021 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.DJR and DMA acknowledge support from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) through ST/T000244/1.
