abstractWhile speculations on form–meaning resemblances in language go back millennia, the experimental study of iconicity is only about a century old. Here we take stock of experimental work on iconicity and present a double special issue with a diverse set of new contributions. We contextualise the work by introducing a typology of approaches to iconicity in language. Some approaches construe iconicity as a discrete property that is either present or absent; others treat it as involving semiotic relationships that come in kinds; and yet others see it as a gradient substance that comes in degrees. We show the benefits and limitations that come with each of these construals and stress the importance of developing accounts that can fluently switch between them. With operationalisations of iconicity that are well defined yet flexible enough to deal with differences in tasks, modalities, and levels of analysis, experimental research on iconicity is well equipped to contribute to a comprehensive science of language.

Flame propagation in a closed pipe with diameter 0.1 m and 5.1 m long, as well as length to diameter ratio (L/D) of 51, was studied experimentally. Hydrogen/air, acetylene/air and methane/air with stoichiometric concentration were used to observe the trend of flame propagation throughout the pipe. Experimental work was carried out at operating condition: pressure 1 atm and temperature 273 K. Results showed that all fuels are having a consistent trend of flame propagation in one-half of the total pipe length in which the acceleration is due to the piston-like effect. Beyond the point, fuel reactivity and tulip phenomenon were considered to lead the flame being quenched and decrease the overpressures drastically. The maximum overpressure for all fuels are approximately 1.5, 7, 8.5 barg for methane, hydrogen, and acetylene indicating that acetylene explosion is more severe.

Purpose. Еxperimental substantiation of the effectiveness of biocompatible biodegradable hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid and chitosan succinate as a carrier of ranibizumab in antiglaucoma operations. Material and methods. Hydrogel drainage (HD) was obtained immediately before surgery. A solution of ranibizumab (0.23 ml) was mixed with a solution of hyaluronic acid dialdehyde (0.5 ml), then a solution of chitosan succinate (0.5 ml) was added. Experimental studies were performed in 12 (12 eyes) healthy rabbits. The first group consisted of 6 eyes – 0.187 ml of ranibizumab per 1 ml of gel. In the control group, HD was used intraoperatively without the addition of ranibizumab (6 eyes). Morphological studies were performed on 7th, 21st, and 42nd days. Results. In experimental studies in vitro and in vivo, it was proved that ranibizumab, administered as a part of 0.1 ml of hydrogel drainage in the antiglaucoma surgery area is released within 3 weeks and suppresses vascularization, scarring of the operating area, and preserves the intrascleral cavity. The optimal concentration of ranibizumab was selected-0.02 ml in 0.1 ml of gel. Conclusion. The safety and effectiveness of the use of hydrogel drainage with ranibizumab based on hyaluronic acid dialdehyde and chitosan succinate in anti-glaucoma operations has been proven. Key words: experimental research, hydrogel drainage, ranibizumab, glaucoma surgery.

This study aims to (1) examine the effect of repeated tax amnesty knowledge on taxpayer compliance, (2) examine the effect of tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance based on threats to taxpayer compliance decisions, and (3) examine differences in taxpayer compliance based on taxpayer knowledge, on the re-implementation of tax amnesty and the effect of tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance decisions. This study used a 2 x 2 factorial experimental research design between subjects by using 119 participants from accounting students from the Faculty Economic and Busines Warmadewa University. The results showed that both the knowledge of taxpayers on the re-implementation of tax amnesty and the effect of tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance decisions can affect taxpayer compliance. Besides that too, there is an interaction between taxpayer knowledge on the re-implementation of tax amnesty and the effect of tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance decisions where if the taxpayer is in a condition not aware of the repeated application of the tax amnesty, taxpayers who also receive high tax sanctions will show the highest degree of compliance, compared to subjects in other situations. Hypothesis testing using a different test t test with the help of the SPSS 26.0 program. The expected research output is that the results of this research will be published in the proceedings of the Warmadewa of University Research Institute. Keywords: Recurring tax forgiveness, tax sanctions, tax compliance.

The research on the use of experimental methods in learning characteristics of material and its usefulness toward students’ achievements and learning responses of Level 4 primary school students of MIN Tungkob Aceh Besar aims to determine students’ learning outcomes and responses toward the use of the method. This study uses experimental research. The data collection techniques were using test and distributing questionnaire to the students. The samples in this experimental study were students of class IV3 totaling 34 people as the experimental class and the class IV4 totaling 31 people as the control class. The data, which is the students’ learning outcomes collected from pretest and posttest, were analyzed using t-test formula. The data from the students’ questionnaire responses were analyzed using percentage formula.The result was that the students’ learning outcomes from the experimental class and the control class showed significant differences. Students’ responses toward the use of experimental methods in learning material characteristics and its usefulness were also very positive, where the students are very excited and interested in learning to use the experimental method in the study of material characteristics and its usefulness.

By the experimental research to the effect sucrose-natural gypsum as composite retarder on the performance of cement and concrete. This paper analyzes and summarizes the fact that the influence of this kind of composite retarder is more obvious than the slow setting effect of a single sugar or plaster. And the retardation of cement and concrete the mixing time is basically the amount of sugar a positive correlation. And on the other hand, it will not influence other physical properties.


The main objective of this chapter is to present the empirical results of an experimental study carried out with 9th grade students for teaching electrical circuits. The experimental research took place during April and May 2013. In the study, the authors compared two instructional approaches (4C/ID versus conventional). Thus, the results obtained by two groups (experimental and control) on the variables ‘performance', ‘perceived mental effort', and ‘instructional efficiency' were compared. The results revealed that, globally, the experimental group obtained better performances, with less perceived mental effort (i.e., better instructional efficiency). These results were discussed in 4C/ID-model theoretical framework.
