The inscription is a common and widely used literary technique in communication. This technique is used to deliver an underlying message indirectly. The intended meaning of the words used in inscription form is different from its actual meaning. This literary device is used actively in the Western World and there have been many studies on this area conducted by several researchers. Though inscription on the restrooms is also used by citizens of Saudi Arabia in their communication. Thus, toilet graffiti is a unique window into the relationship between gender, language, and social context. Whereas, the other public places have less painting, drawing, and relationship between both genders. Therefore, we would like to propose this paper in Saudi’s graffiti. Also, the importance of how women and men communicate, no comparable situation in which both men and women write graffiti has ever been studied. This study sought to set a new benchmark: focusing not only one at the topic of graffiti but also at the language style in which inscriptions were written, and not in male and female toilets but also in an analogous mixed-gender context in different places. Strong gender differences are found for the topic in the findings. Female’s Graffiti tends to be politer, love, relationship, less assertive and interactive, whereas those from the male graffiti indicate more argumentative and negative behavior with racial discrimination. One of the most important results is indicated that both genders are used graffiti in a toilet stall in order to express their attitude, psychological case whether positively or negatively. They want to keep on themselves away from their people sights. Gender differences in language style are subtler but generally consistent with those found in other contexts. Gendered language is mitigated in the mixed-gender context. Topics in the mixed-gender context are a composite of the topics found in the men’s and women graffiti but also included the only sexist remarks in the data.

Impacts Of Climate Change

Climate change is one of the significant and threatening problems worldwide. It has attracted the attention of scientists and politicians as well as writers and critics especially in the western world. Writers have responded by writing climate change fiction despite the challenges of representation. James Bradley, an Australian novelist and critic, is one of those writers who are deeply occupied by the impacts of climate change. He has written Clade (2017) which traces the life of Adam Leith, a climatologist, and his family descendants amid the disastrous consequences of climate change. To analyze this novel, the researcher focuses on solastalgia, and applies the approach of everyday aesthetics. In a nutshell, the paper attempts to highlight the impact of climate change, examine the relationship between the characters and their environment, and explore the possibility of adaptation and detection of aesthetic values in an environment destroyed by climate change.

During the nineteenth century, Swedish gymnastics became one of the main models of physical education in the Western world. The purpose of this article is to explore how Swedish gymnastics was adjusted to the female body and mind in the mid-nineteenth century. Using handbooks published by the Swedish educationalist Anton Santesson as an empirical starting point, this article shows how the relationship between gender and gymnastics was complicated and exhibited significant discrepancies. In part, Swedish gymnastics was marked by a one-sex model of gender differences, which meant that gymnastics was perceived as a method for catering to the deficiencies and weaknesses of the feminine nature, in an attempt to make girls and young women more similar to boys. Swedish gymnastics had, nevertheless, vital elements of a two-sex model, according to which gymnastics was supposed to realise the true feminine nature of girls. Following this line of thought, Santesson claimed that, since gymnastics merely followed the laws of the body, it could not make girls more like boys. Santesson’s vision of gymnastics also included disciplinary mechanisms, such as the partitioning of space, which were gender neutral. Apart from presenting insights into the ambiguous and contradictory notions of gender in Swedish girls’ gymnastics, this article thus also raises questions regarding whether other models of physical education were marked by similar discrepancies during the nineteenth century.

Abstract Individuals with negative attitudes towards own aging (ATOA) experience worse psychological health in later life. At the intersection of sexism and ageism, women are likely to have greater concerns about growing older and hold more negative views of aging than their men counterparts. However, the impact of gender on the relationship between ATOA and psychological health is unclear. Moving forward, the current study aims to examine 1) gender differences in longitudinal changes in ATOA and 2) whether gender moderates the association of ATOA with cognitive function and depressive symptoms. Using three waves (2008, 2012, and 2016) from the Health and Retirement Study, a total of 6,675 adults aged 50+ (60% female) were analyzed. A series of multilevel growth curve analyses were performed to investigate the 8-year changes in ATOA and within- and between-person effects of ATOA on cognitive function and depressive symptoms. The models controlled for demographic, socio-economic, and physical health characteristics. Women had more negative ATOA at baseline compared to men, but not in rates of change. When levels of ATOA were more negative, both cognitive performance and depressive symptoms were poorer over time between individuals as well as within-person. We found that the detrimental effects of negative ATOA on depressive symptoms were stronger for women, but there were no significant gender differences in relation to cognitive functioning. Our findings demonstrated that women view aging more unfavorably than men, and the effects of endorsing negative ATOA are more pronounced on women’s mental health.

Religious reform and renewal of knowledge are common to the lives of religious and state people. The relationship between the two in the modern era is a matter of concern in the world of politics, so that the study of Islamic politics has developed quite significantly, which includes the study of the relationship between Islam and the State, as well as the impact of that relationship which leads to democracy and its concepts, human rights, and the movement of the ulama (Muslim scholars) towards religious reform. Therefore, one of the Muslim leaders, namely Mohammed Abid Jābirī who is one of the phenomenal figures of revolutionary Islamic thinkers with his theses on various real advances in human life, both in his studies of: the social environment or the development of sacred texts Muslims, which in this case is specifically in the study of the relationship between Religion and the State, Democracy, Khilafah Theory, and Religious Reform through renewal of knowledge. That is what later became the main and interesting discussion to be examined through the relationship approach between Religion and the State through the framework of a fundamental, secular and substantive school of thought. The analysis of MA Jābirī's views on religious reform and knowledge renewal focused on the relationship between Religion and the State in the Modern Age, which was then analyzed by the author using a combination of Al-Mawardi's views in Al-Ahkam Al-Sulthaniyyah, Agus Maftuh Abegebriel and Ahmad Yani Abeviero through his paper Negara Tuhan; The Thematic Encyclopaedia, and the development of democratic issues in the Islamic and Western world as an inseparable relationship when discussing Religion and the State as substantic.

Much of the literature on the relationship between trade union members and their union assumes that the gender of the member influences this relationship in a number of ways. Using survey data of members of one white-collar union, we test this proposition, focusing specifically on the impact of gender on attitudes towards trade unionism. participation in trade union activities, and priorities for trade union action. We conclude that, with the exception of relative weightings of priorities, gender is not a significant influence on these variables.

This article explores the relationship between international integration and domestic inequality in the developed countries in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. The analysis examines two major modes of integration, trade and direct investment, disaggregating each by economic sector and distinguishing between imports and exports, and inbound and outbound flows and stocks. In measuring income inequality, extensive use is made of micro-data sets that have recently become available through the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), which provides much more detailed and comparable data on income inequality than has heretofore been the case. In particular, LIS data can be aggregated at the level of economic sector, and permit the comparison of pre- and post-government income. The study finds few significant relationships between either trade or investment and sectoral income distribution. The overall conclusion is that economic globalization is not a critically important factor in explaining recent trends in income inequality in the Western world.

Language engineering in grammar is very high in value. Sometimes the language that is written in the bytes of the grammar refers to its expressed and implied meanings. The processing of meaning and meaning of the language depends on the understanding of the author of the narration and the appreciation by the listener. Language in grammar has a moral value that is useful for the audience of readers as well as driving towards the application of da'wah value in life. Thus, this study aims to see the moral value in the "Ke Makam Bonda" in terms of language, value, and structure through relevance theory. In addition, the reviewer also saw the relationship between language, value, and structure in the bytes of the narration is associated with the elements of da'wah until it generates awareness to the listener. The results of the study found that the use of language, value application, and systematic structure arrangement especially implemented the rhyme to the genre of traditional nasyid song adds to the listener's appreciation of the message delivered. The impact of the adaptation has had a positive impact on the community so that it becomes a calm rhythm heard and leaves a very useful advisory effect and da'wah message. This clearly indicates that the permeation of the language style in Usman Awang's slang was very suitable to the society's appreciation until now until it was successfully translated by anyone.
