ABSTRACTExamining and uncovering the correlation between literary and creative writings from all over the world can enhance the enjoyment of studying these works. Despite the differences in literary genre and cultural origin, the poem "Hussina and Delaram" by the poet Hussina and the play Othello by William Shakespeare share many parallels. Both works explore the theme of romantic love between two lovers using a lyric-dramatic system in the case of "Hussina and Delaram" and a lyric-tragic system in the case of Othello. As a result, the present study aims to investigate the elements of resemblance and adjustment between two literary and creative pieces from Persian and English literature. We employ a descriptive-analytical study method, specifically using a comparative framework from the American school. The research findings indicate that both works share similarities in terms of the characters' relationships, the contrasting themes of love and jealousy between lovers and rivals, the linear structure of the narrative, the dual correspondences of the main characters, and the themes of the lovers' suspicion towards their beloved. Another finding of the study is that the authors of both works, via the creation of similar and corresponding characters of Desdemona and Delaram and the portrayal of their enduring love, emphasized the importance of female chastity as the utmost virtue and denounced feelings of envy. The distinction between these two works lies in the fact that Othello remains in a state of emotional turmoil as a result of his distrust towards his lover, ultimately leading him to cause her death with his own hand. In contrast, Hussina, by transitioning from the realm of emotions to the realm of rationality, manages to establish a profound relationship with his beloved.IntroductionWithin the realm of artistic and literary creations, encompassing poetry, narratives, dramas, visual art, and music, one can discern intricate interrelationships. Comparative literature research establishes intertextual connections through the identification of parallels between literary and creative texts. Comparative study enhances intercultural interactions between nations and facilitates the understanding and introduction of artistic and literary trends. The forthcoming study aims to identify the commonalities and adapt two literary and creative works from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, taking into account Henry Remak's perspective and recognizing the intertextual connections between them.William Shakespeare's play Othello is renowned for its passionate and tragic elements. It has achieved great popularity in theatrical groups and has served as inspiration for other opera works and literary adaptations. Hussina and Delaram employ a narrative-dramatic method that enacts rural poetry performances and romantic storytelling in various manners across numerous villages in Iran. The central motif of these two pieces revolves around the affection shared between two individuals who encounter obstacles as a result of the machinations of adversaries or individuals in their vicinity. Both compositions encapsulate a blend of affection, uncertainty, and jealousy. The shared features, parallel character relationships, and identical linear narrative structure in these two literary and creative works have facilitated a dual capacity for their interpretation and adaptation.Literature ReviewThe following outline summarizes the conducted studies in the realm of researched works: In his book "One Hundred Persian Romance Poems," Zulfiqari (2014) provides an analysis of romance poetry and specifically discusses the Hussina and Delaram poem, offering a synopsis of its content. In his 2016 study titled "Analysis of the Folk Tale of Hussina and Delaram," Jalili Jashanabadi examines this poem using Grimas' theory. Furthermore, researchers have conducted numerous and diverse studies on the play Othello. Included in the group are: Britton (2011) examines the metamorphosis and shift in Othello's affection for Desdemona in his study titled "Othello's Turn: Transformative Romances." Altman (2010) conducted a thorough examination of Othello's self-centeredness and distinctiveness in his book, The Improbability of Othello. In his book "Speaking of the Moroccan African," Bartels (2008) thoroughly analyzes Othello's personality traits from several perspectives. In his book "Shakespeare's Tragedy: A Discussion of Hamlet and Othello," Bradley (2007) examines the personality traits of the key characters in Shakespeare's tragedies. In his study titled "Othello and Other Stocks: Denial of Knowledge in the Seven Plays of Shakespeare, "Cavell (2003) examines the theme of hierarchy in Shakespeare's works. In his study "Truly, an Obedient Lady: Desdemona, Emilia, and Obedience in Othello," Deats (2002) scrutinizes Desdemona and Emilia as models of loyalty and devotion to their husbands. None of the aforementioned studies have addressed the parallels and comparative capacities of these two masterpieces.MethodologyThis research aims to elucidate the artistic approach of two creators in their depiction of love, as well as the effectiveness with which they portray the themes of doubt and envy in different cultural contexts. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method to identify common themes and dual correspondences among the characters. This study draws its methodology from the American comparative school, employing an inductive approach that progresses from specific observations to broader generalizations.DiscussionHussina and Delaram's lyrical-dramatic system, as well as Othello's play, share distinct similarities in terms of dual correspondences, character types and actions, narrative plot, linear narrative framework, and thematic elements. One of the similarities between these two works is the alignment of two or more characters and their corresponding dramatic acts. These two pieces depict confrontation, conflict, and competition among characters striving to achieve a particular objective. Shakespeare's play portrays a complex love triangle with Rodrigo, Desdemona, and Othello. Similarly, Hussina's system presents a challenging love triangle involving Gary, Delaram, and Hussina. Both stories skillfully weave together themes of love, jealousy, and conflict. The resemblance between Hussina and Othello lies in their shared attributes, including eloquence, bravery, and diplomacy in handling matters, as well as their association with rulers, infatuation with and attraction to aristocrats or nobles from affluent backgrounds, and their sense of inferiority towards their beloved. Various aspects of Delaram and Desdemona's characters bear similarities. Firstly, both characters belong to the aristocracy. Furthermore, they both develop infatuation with their lovers after hearing their characteristics. Furthermore, both face opposition from their fathers and relatives regarding their marriage. Moreover, they both exhibit loyalty and commitment to true love. Lastly, both characters demonstrate patience and chastity. These shared characteristics contribute to the correspondence and homogeneity between Delaram and Desdemona. There are a pair of characters. Another shared characteristic in the two works is the correspondence and homogeneity between Gary's two characters in Hussina and Delaram systems, when compared to Rodrigo and Iago as the hero's rivals. Furthermore, a comparison of the two researched works reveals numerous commonalities in their underlying concepts. The themes of love, jealousy, distrust, and unfounded defamation of the lover are some of the most significant elements present in both works.ConclusionAn analysis and comparison of the narrative-dramatic structure of Hussina and Delaram, as well as the play Othello, reveals that these two literary and artistic works are based on shared universal human archetypes. The comparison of the two works reveals that they both revolve around common themes such as love, jealousy, and doubt. The absence of doubt in these works is what captivates the audience and contributes to the two artists' artistic brilliance, ultimately leading to their glorious conclusions. The fundamental theme conveyed by these two artistic and literary works, through the depiction of comparable characters in the form of Hussina and Othello, is the need to prioritize reason and logic above emotions. From a sociological perspective, the current research has identified envy and suspicion as negative traits in both civilizations. The author of both works aims to highlight the elevated status of women's love and chastity in society by establishing similar and corresponding characters, Desdemona and Delaram, and portraying them as pure, honest, stable, and compassionate. The chaste ladies demonstrate unwavering loyalty to their partners, driven by pure love. This analysis concludes that we can only understand the true nature of this Persian literary classic as a theatrical production through the lens of adaptation. The present-tense language used by Hussina and Delaram in Othello and Desdemona is remarkably similar to the present-tense language used by Othello and Desdemona in Hussina and Delaram.

One of the most important themes of Dostoevsky's novel «Crime and Punishment» connected with the hope for the revival of the criminal's soul is considered. It is concluded that the concept «hope», acquiring religious and philosophical connotations, performs the function of the thematic concept in the novel, embodying the individual-author's features.

Baloch folk literature has a great diversity, the major part of which is poetry. Various types of poetry could be found in all aspects of people's lives which indicates their public taste for poetry and literature. Nāzēŋk is one of the oldest aspects of the oral literature of the Baloch people, which is still prevalent throughout Balochistan and is sung by Baloch people, especially mothers, describing their children. According to the available evidence, Nāzēŋk's structure is similar to a Balochi lullaby. Its content is diverse and mostly a description of the characteristics that have been considered for worthy girls and boys in the past. These poems show the pride of mothers and fathers towards their children, expressing their wishes. These poems are rhythmic, fluent and eloquent in terms of language which is significant for literature. There is a rhyme in most of the verses. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to introduce a type of Baloch folk poetry that has not been studied so far. This research has been done in a fundamental way, based on field research and descriptive-analytical method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Reflexive thematic analysis is widely used in qualitative research published in Palliative Medicine, and in the broader field of health research. However, this approach is often not used well. Common problems in published reflexive thematic analysis in general include assuming thematic analysis is a singular approach, rather than a family of methods, confusing themes and topics, and treating and reporting reflexive thematic analysis as if it is atheoretical. Purpose: We reviewed 20 papers published in Palliative Medicine between 2014 and 2022 that cited Braun and Clarke, identified using the search term 'thematic analysis' and the default 'relevance' setting on the journal webpage. The aim of the review was to identify common problems and instances of good practice. Problems centred around a lack of methodological coherence, and a lack of reflexive openness, clarity and detail in reporting. We considered contributors to these common problems, including the use of reporting checklists that are not coherent with the values of reflexive thematic analysis. To support qualitative researchers in producing coherent and reflexively open reports of reflexive thematic analysis we have developed the Reflexive Thematic Analysis Reporting Guidelines (the RTARG; in Supplemental Materials) informed by this review, other reviews we have done and our values and experience as qualitative researchers. The RTARG is also intended for use by peer reviewers to encourage methodologically coherent reviewing. Key learning points: Methodological incoherence and a lack of transparency are common problems in reflexive thematic analysis research published in Palliative Medicine. Coherence can be facilitated by researchers and reviewers striving to be knowing – thoughtful, deliberative, reflexive and theoretically aware – practitioners and appraisers of reflexive thematic analysis and developing an understanding of the diversity within the thematic analysis family of methods.

Using the concept of methodological congruence—where the different elements of a study 'fit' together—we explore both problematic and good practice in (reflexive) thematic analysis (TA) as reported in Health Promotion International (HPI). Aligning with the importance we place on 'owning your perspectives' we situate this exploration in relation to our understanding of the variation in approaches to TA and qualitative research more broadly. This contextualization is necessary for highlighting why we judge practices to be in/congruent, and to facilitate more knowing congruence in future research. We critically reviewed a 'sample' of 31 papers published in HPI between 2010 and 2023 citing Braun and Clarke as reference for TA. We overview a range of problematic and good features of the use of TA in HPI , before focusing on two domains that seemed to present key challenges: theory and themes. Methodological incongruence can occur when postpositivist values and practices unwittingly creep into ostensibly non-positivist TA; we encourage thoughtfully and what we term 'knowing' consideration of theory, and quality practices and criteria. Methodological incongruence can also occur through mismatched conceptualizations of themes—notably, the use of 'topic summaries' as themes for reflexive TA (and fragmented thematic structures with 'thin' themes). We provide examples from the reviewed papers to demonstrate good practice in researcher reflexivity, articulation of theoretical and methodological frameworks and congruent themes. However, mindful of power dynamics, we only discuss problematic practice in general terms, to protect author anonymity. To facilitate thoughtful, quality TA—of all kinds—we provide eight pointers for researchers (and reviewers) to guide quality practice, and facilitate the use of concepts, procedures and criteria that promote knowing methodological congruence.

This study outlines a new approach to engaging students in artmaking within an undergraduate classroom by employing metaphors as artmaking strategies. Mark Ryden's painting, The Apology, was used to teach preservice PK-6 education students how to derive meaning from art. Strategies of exploring students' hopes, dreams and regrets indicate the importance of curriculum design focusing on students' lived experiences and their social world. The study also offers examples of questions, creative inquiry and artmaking strategies that can be effectively integrated into students' artmaking to foster deeper understanding and enhance conceptual thinking. Stories of students' metaphoric images demonstrate how metaphor and imagery can be powerful tools for self-reflection and discovery as well as how teachers can develop art activities for and with students while empowering them to create a sense of self through art.

Introduction: The decline in environmental quality has raised public concern about environmental issues. Even in the greenest countries, policymakers face the significant challenge of understanding why environmental policies are often ineffective in addressing these problems. According to the 2024 Global Environmental Performance Index, Iran ranks 133rd out of 180 countries, reflecting a poor global standing and numerous environmental crises, including ecosystem conversion, biodiversity loss, increasing dust storms, drying wetlands and lakes, water resource depletion, land subsidence, and air and soil pollution. Contributing factors include a lack of robust development plans, ineffective environmental policies, outdated laws and regulations, and inadequate coordination among agencies and organizations. These issues underscore the urgent need for effective environmental policymaking to address the growing crises. This study, recognizing the importance of the formulation stage in public policymaking, proposes a model for developing environmental policies in Iran to address these challenges and reduce environmental pollution.Materials and Methods: This study employed a qualitative research approach, incorporating both library and field research methods for data collection. Data were gathered through note-taking and expert interviews. The analysis was conducted using a thematic analysis strategy, chosen for its ability to extract meaningful insights from qualitative data, such as interview transcripts. The coding and thematic analysis process followed a comprehensive, step-by-step approach. Using purposive sampling, the research team interviewed 13 experts, including university professors, environmental researchers, executives from the Environmental Protection Organization, and managers involved in environmental policymaking. The interviews continued until thematic saturation was achieved, indicating no new themes or concepts were emerging. To ensure reliability, the test-retest reliability index was applied to the coding of the interviews. In this approach, a few randomly selected interviews were coded and then re-coded after a certain period to compare the consistency of the codes. This technique helped verify the reliability of the thematic analysis process.Results: The study results indicate that a model for formulating environmental policies to achieve sustainable development comprises eight key themes: economic factors, social factors, environmental factors, political factors, legal requirements, institutional capacity, key stakeholders in policy formulation, and the process of formulating environmental policies. Each theme plays a crucial role in policy development. Addressing environmental issues without a collective approach to these themes is likely to be ineffective. A fragmented approach to implementing these themes can lead to disruptions in development and significant harm to environmental resources. The results emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach that considers all these factors to effectively address environmental challenges and work toward sustainable developmen.Discussion: To effectively tackle environmental crises, a holistic approach must be embraced in environmental policy formulation. Social, political, legal, and institutional factors must be carefully considered to avoid severe challenges and complications. Active participation from community organizations, NGOs, citizens, and local stakeholders in policymaking can play a significant role in resolving environmental issues. This requires not only the restructuring of institutional frameworks to strengthen environmental governance but also a review of existing legal systems to ensure they are conducive to effective policymaking. It also highlights the importance of combining bottom-up and top-down policies to improve environmental performance indicators. Bottom-up opportunities from local communities and civil society, along with top-down engagement from legislative, executive, and judicial branches, are critical to shaping effective policies.

This paper discusses the information structural properties of so-called premise (also factual) conditionals, conditional sentences whose antecedent repeats previously evoked content. We argue that, semantically, premise conditionals are hypothetical conditionals, with two pragmatic properties: their antecedent is echoic and thematic. We show that some of the differences identified in the literature between hypothetical and premise conditionals follow from the informational status of the antecedent. While the antecedent of a premise conditional is thematic, the antecedent of a hypothetical conditional can also be rhematic. Rhematic conditionals happen to be compatible with all the characteristics that stand out as incompatible with premise conditionals. Additionally, we argue that echoicity is a definitional property of the premise reading of indicative conditionals. • Premise (also called factual) conditionals are not a syntactic/semantic object on their own. • They are just a possible interpretation of an indicative conditional given the right discourse conditions. • We define them as thematic and echoic; the antecedent need not be Common Ground. • Thematicity explains previously observed characteristics of premise conditionals.

Using mixed-methods, we examined the impact of theme type and coherence on visitors’ awareness of theme and experience value during and after visits to various hospitality and attraction venues. Fourteen informants and three researchers completed 172 visits. Team members experienced the offerings at each venue and reported their impressions of theme type, theme coherence, service performance, percent of time aware of theme, overall enjoyment, and proclivity to recommend. Narrative transportation theory informed our hypotheses: (a) theme coherence varies by theme type and the percent of time aware of theme increases with coherence of theme, and (b) experience value during- and after-use increase with the percent of time aware of theme and service performance. Results supported all hypotheses except one. Qualitative analysis revealed impacts of themes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although there have been several studies on the linguistic features of the Christ Hymn in Col 1:15–20, they rarely start with the "clauses" or investigate how messages are conveyed in the clauses in this hymn. This article will adopt Michael A. K. Halliday's systemic functional system of theme and rheme, particularly his perception of the clause as message, to gain insights into the ways in which information is managed into categories of given and new at the clause level, and thereby accomplishing rhetorical purposes in the Christ Hymn. This article will seek to demonstrate how Paul intimates point of view by employing the linguistic device of "thematization" to foreground "the Son" to be the chief topic of the Christ Hymn and thereby underline his universal Lordship. The result of this thematic analysis will underline the textual cohesion of the Christ Hymn and lend support to the view that this hymn comprises the two stanzas in vv. 15–18a and vv. 18b–20.

This study investigates the similarities and differences between brand names in Arabic and English, namely Jordanian and American brands. Brand names are analyzed in terms of their thematic associations and their linguistic features. The focus is on three types of Jordanian and American products: food, clothing and services. The methodology followed is quantitative and qualitative, adopting the framework of Chan & Huang (2001) who classify the brands into different categories based on their thematic associations into seven categories. However, this framework has been adapted to include three more categories. The results reveal that the brand names of both countries have similar thematic associations but with different frequencies. It is found that the frequencies of the thematic categories significantly differ between the two countries (and the two languages) regarding the three investigated types of brands. In relation to their linguistic features, some similarities and differences are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education and training in human life is a lifelong process. For this reason, activities in education and training are directly affected by changes in society. During this influence process, experts in their fields prepare education programs by taking into account the needs of the society. These programs are given a general name and called "curriculum". The aim of this study is to identify the themes in the "Turkish Lesson Teaching Program (Primary and Secondary School 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8th Grades)" published in 2018 in Mustafa Kutlu's work called Uzun Hikâye and is to interpret. As it is known, during the implementation of the Turkish Course Curriculum, 8 themes were planned to be covered at each grade level. Of these themes; While the themes of "Virtues", "Our National Culture", "National Struggle and Ataturk" must be covered at every grade level; Apart from the compulsory themes, other given themes are optional. In this context, the text was approached in the light of themes - prioritizing the obligatory themes - and sentences containing the relevant theme in the text were selected and added to the study. The contribution of these themes to the text has also been interpreted in some places. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that Long Story is a text that includes the themes in the Turkish Curriculum and that the text itself can be used while teaching these themes in lessons.

Berdinazar Khudaynazarov is one of the important representatives of Turkmen literature of the 20th century. Berdinazar Hudaynazarov is a poet, writer, screenwriter, dramaturg, critic, journalist, translator and politician. In addition to his poems, novels and stories, he has written radio plays, literary conversation articles and introductory articles about poets and poetry books. Since he started his literary career by writing poems, he was first recognised for his poems. Later on, he wrote prose works in addition to his poems and showed that he was also a master in writing with his novels, stories, politicalsocial writings, literary articles and film scripts. Khudaynazarov's most famous work is the novel "Gumlular", written in 1970 and translated into many languages. With this novel, Hudaynazarov showed that he was also a master of writing. The novel is a historical novel about the difficulties experienced by the nomads living in the Karakum Desert during the Second World War. "Gumlular" novel is also an autobiographical novel as it is parallel to Khudaynazarov's life story. Because Hudaynazarov is the son of a shepherd from Yerbent in the centre of Karakum, and during the war his family was displaced to Lebap on the banks of the Amuderya River. Since Berdinazar Khudaynazarov's childhood and youth spent in Karakum, he usually describes the life of nomads living in the desert in his works. As a matter of fact, in his other novels and stories such as the novel "Gumlular", in his first poetry book "Gızgın Sahra" and other poems, in his conversation writings, desert life is always discussed. In this article, after giving information about the life, works and literary personality of the 20th century Turkmen literary figure Berdinazar Hudaynazarov, the novel "Gumlular", which is considered one of the important works of Turkmen literature, will be analysed in terms of war and women themes.

A good speech is a speech that is easily understood by the audience. To achieve it, cohesion should be built among the clauses in the speech. This study aims to analyze the realization of theme and thematic progression in the speeches of senior high school students at the Erlangga English Speech Contest 2021. A systemic functional discourse analysis approach was employed by focusing on textual metafunction. A YouTube video entitled ‘National Grand Final Erlangga English Speech Contest 2021 Senior High School’ became the research data. The video was transcribed into written form. Four speeches were randomly chosen and labeled SHS 1, SHS 2, SHS 3, and SHS 4. The result showed that all themes were realized in the speeches. Topical and textual themes became the dominant theme. In terms of thematic development, constant theme, and multiple/ split rhyme were freely realized. This indicates that the speakers can build cohesion among the clauses. However, empty themes and failed thematic progression were still found in the speeches.

Teesid: Tõukudes juba kolmandat aastat käivast sõjast Ukrainas, millele eesti autorid on reageerinud kiiresti ja erksa meelega, võtab artikkel vaatluse alla sõjateema kajastuse eesti algupärases laste- ja noortekirjanduses läbi aegade. Alates kõige varasematest juturaamatutest 18./19. sajandi vahetusel, mis sisaldavad tekste sõjaväeteenistusse saadetud noormeestest, kuni kõige uuemate sõjast rääkivate pildiraamatuteni 2023. aastast annab artikkel kronoloogilise ülevaate lastele ja noortele suunatud teostest, mis kujutavad sõda, okupatsioone, revolutsioone või mõnd muud militaarse iseloomuga sündmust ning nendega seotud aspekte. Artikkel keskendub valdavalt eraldi kaante vahel ilmunud teostele, mis moodustavad vaid ühe osa mahukast tekstikorpusest, toob välja algupärases sõjateemalises laste- ja noortekirjanduses kõige enam kasutatud ainestikud ja motiivid ning loetleb sõjateema edasise uurimise võimalusi. The article gives a historical overview of war-themed texts in Estonian children’s and youth literature. The choice of the research topic is motivated by Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which also changed the sense of security in our region. It has also prompted children’s and young adult writers to reflect on war and peace, resistance and cooperation, justice and injustice in a form that is appropriate and comprehensible to young readers. From the earliest storybooks at the turn of the 19th century, which include texts about young men conscripted into military service, to the most recent picture books about war from 2023, the article provides a chronological overview of works for children and young people depicting war, occupation, revolution or other events of a military nature and their related aspects. The article looks at works published mainly in book form, covering only part of a large corpus of texts. Texts published in journals, story collections, anthologies, school textbooks and elsewhere have been excluded for reasons of space. The theme of war in Estonian children’s and youth literature has become topical in connection with the turning points in Estonian history (revolutions, wars, occupations), and also bears the ideological signs of the time. However, as early as the 19th century, during the period of national awakening, national mythological and romantic material (the ancient struggle for freedom and the so-called Lembitu line; the so-called Jüriöö text) was introduced into literature, and has remained topical to the present day. The theme of war has been used more in periods when it was important to strengthen the nation’s sense of unity (the Republic of Estonia before the Second World War) or to justify regime change and new ideology (Soviet Estonia). Texts published in these periods stand out for their strong combative or combative-propagandist stance, strong and/or ideologised characters, sharp confrontations, realistic depictions of violence and death. The war texts that have appeared in free society in the last few decades are predominantly childhood memoirs of a long-ago war or occupation, although they are still generally told in an exclusionary, fragmented way through a narrative of silence. The trauma narrative has not been as topical in Estonian children’s and young people’s war literature as it has been in Western literature in recent decades. In Estonian children’s and young adult literature, most of the war stories are realistic, with human characters and real or possible situations, with only a few animal tales. To a large extent, the way a story is presented depends on the theme, genre and the age of the reader of the text. The majority of war stories are written by men, while women’s voices can be heard in memoirs, fairy tales and, to a lesser extent, folk mythological histories. Most of the works have an autobiographical background, i.e. the writers have themselves participated in the war and/or lived under occupation. This leads to a situation in which male characters are in the foreground and the events are characterised by adventures, intense confrontations and action. Girls came to Estonian children and young people’s war literature during the over-militarised Soviet era. Although writing about war is the most difficult and problematic for young children, both from an age and education point of view, there is literature for them (picture books, books about war games). War-themed texts in Estonian children’s and youth literature mainly pursue educational aims (stories of masculinisation, stories of cooperation, presentations of Estonian history in exile, reminiscences of tragic times in contemporary memoirs), but in certain periods political (the period of the Estonian Republic, exile) and ideological aims (Soviet Estonia) have been more prominent. The article outlines the most frequently used themes and motifs in Estonian children’s and young adult literature on war and lists possibilities for further research on war.

The article introduces a comparative analysis of the word order in the communicative structure of the sentence in Russian and Persian. The research also covered means and methods of expressing communicative structure, as well as the rules and patterns of word order on the communicative level. In both languages, the communicative aspect of the sentence is closely related to the word order, which is the main tool of expressing the semantic division of the sentence. However, the communicative word order patterns are different. In the neutral speech, both languages put the theme (background information) in front of the rheme (actual information). In expressive speech, the Russian rheme is placed at the beginning of the sentence while the theme follows it. In other words, the thought moves from the actual information to the background information. When the communicative division of the sentence changes, the word order also changes. Based on the analysis of the word order in neutral and expressive speech, direct and inverted word orders are associated with the function that these components perform in the theme-rheme relationship. Persian, however, has a fixed word order, and allows for no inversion: the theme and the rheme are fixed, and the background information always precedes the new one. In the Russian language, any part of the sentence can be the theme or the rheme. In Persian, the function of the theme or the rheme belongs to particular sentence components.

Анализируется актуальное членение предложения в русском и персидском языках. Рассмотрение и сопоставление коммуникативного строя русского и персидского предложения, а также закономерностей порядка слов является актуальным как в теоретической, так и в практической сфере, в том числе с целью развития иноязычных коммуникативных навыков у студентов, изучающих указанные языки как иностранные, для повышения качества перевода предложения с персидского языка на русский и наоборот. Проведено исследование, в рамках которого проанализирована смысловая структура предложения, а также выявлены особенности и правила порядка слов на уровне коммуникативного строя предложения в данных исследуемых языках в сравнительном аспекте. Существуют сходства и различия в коммуникативной структуре предложения в русском и персидском языках. В нейтральной речи тема находится в начале предложения в обоих языках, а рема – в конце. Однако в экспрессивно окрашенной речи каждый из этих языков обладает своей спецификой, что обусловлено структурными особенностями персидского и русского языков. Члены предложения в русском языке не имеют строго фиксированной позиции и могут перемещаться в предложении в зависимости от коммуникативной ситуации. Так, в экспрессивно окрашенной речи меняется коммуникативная структура предложения, поскольку в таких высказываниях отражается движение мысли от сообщаемого к исходной информации, рема находится в начале предложения и тема – после нее, то есть актуальная информация предшествует известной. Прямой и обратный порядок слов в русском языке имеет тесную связь с той ролью, которую эти компоненты предложения играют в тема-рематических отношениях. В действительности рассмотрение коммуникативной структуры предложения в русском языке позволяет определить синтаксический и стилистический строй предложения. Однако персидский язык характеризуется фиксированным словопорядком в предложении и инверсии на уровне членов смыслового членения предложения не существует. В этом языке, в отличие от русского, исходная информация (тема) всегда как в нейтральной, так и в экспрессивно окрашенной речи выражается в начале предложения, а актуальная информация (рема) всегда следует за ней и стоит в конце предложения.

The article demonstrates that during the 1970s, Moldovan painting focused deeply on rural life and folk traditions, expressing them profoundly. Plastic artists depicted the beauty and authenticity of rural landscapes on canvas, highlighting the close connection between people and nature. Portraits and everyday life scenes brought to the forefront authentic faces and moments experienced by ordinary people. Realism and decorative elements harmoniously intertwined in their creations. Dances and folk traditions were represented in various forms, conveying the energy of traditional events. Folk motifs and symbols underscored Moldova’s cultural and historical identity. Mythology and the legend served as sources of inspiration, bringing forth the metaphorical visions of the artists. Ornamental elements and specific technical principles of Moldovan mural painting emphasized the importance of faith and folklore. Overall, these themes and motifs contributed to shaping an authentic image of Moldovan culture in the painting of the 1970s.

Systemic functional linguistic analyses of texts provide in-depth assessments of an author's strategic choice of metafunctional markers. Specialised applications also serve to examine key rhetorical marker choices in the context of unique groups or communities such as the discourse generated by criminal groups and marginal actors. This study applies an SFL-based analysis of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's (1995) manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future. The study examines the use of textual-based markers as a way of exploring the author's imagined connection between his text and its arguments, and to his targeted readers. Analysis deriving from this assessment illustrated that while all metafunctional markers perform many of their typical and associative functions, they also take on a renewed importance within the context of this text and the history surrounding its publication. In this case, Kaczynski's use of the devices also serves to consciously reinforce the text's scientific and academic pretentions. This distinguishes the Manifesto from other forms of discourse produced by criminal or marginal groups and distinguishes Kaczynski as a marginal actor who attempted to justify his actions through appeals to logic and empirical reasoning.

Al-Muqaddimāt is one of Muhammad bin Yūsuf al-Sanūsī's famous works of aqīdah. However, the themes and issues of debate contained in the work are seen to be very different from other works of aqīdah. This is because the debates of ilāhiyyāt, nubūwwāt and samiyyāt which are the main debates of faith are not specifically discussed in it. Thus, this article was produced to look in depth at the main themes and issues found in al-Muqaddimāt in addition to highlighting the relationship between the work and other religious works as well as its role in religious studies. The objectives and discussions highlighted through this article are: [i] introduction to al-Muqaddimāt; [ii] themes and issues of faith debate in al-Muqaddimāt; and [iii] the role and importance of al-Muqaddimāt in the study of faith. The writing of this article is based on a qualitative study with the method of content analysis of al-Muqaddimāt along with its description entitled Shar al-Muqaddimāt which is also the work of al-Sanūsī. In addition, the works of other scholars related to the discussion are also seen to strengthen the analysis. Preliminary findings found that al-Muqaddimāt along with its description is one of al-Sanūsī's five main aqīdah works called al-Silsilah al-Aqdiyyah al-Sanūsiyyah (chain of aqīdah works of al-Sanūsī). It acts as an introduction to works of Aqīdah and Īlm Kalam based on the understanding of Ahli Sunah Waljamaah. Understanding the content of al-Muqaddimāt in depth is seen as a catalyst for understanding the true faith through other works. Therefore, understanding the aqīdah through other works is very dependent on understanding the content of al-Muqaddimāt first because of its role as an introduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates how the content of consumer safety instructions is organized in Themes and N-Rhemes and connected by thematic progressions. The Themes are chiefly directives or representations of the product and its usage. The goal of safety instructions, on the other hand, i.e. avoiding dangers and their negative outcomes, is mainly represented in the N-Rhemes. Thematic progressions are frequently linear, which reflects the expert/non-expert relationship between the writers and readers, or derived, which reflects the somewhat disjointedness of this text type. There are also many Rheme iterations connecting imperative clauses. In this respect the thematic organization of procedural texts differs significantly from texts where declarative clauses are predominant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The uniformity and lack of innovation in the field of production and presentation of literary works causes its artistic and aesthetic exhaustion and the decline of literature, in a long run.; Accordingly, literary genres need innovation in various aspects to maintain attractiveness, dynamism, and ultimate impact and, as the matter of fact, have to build their materials by using new techniques. Viktor Shkolovsky describes this renewal and movement towards beautification based on new and audience-friendly criteria as defamiliarization He tends to believe that the writer should present his writing in a new way with help of aesthetic and artistic arrangements. The present study tries to analyze the creativity of the contemporary Palestinian writer "Samira Azzam" in presenting this basic element by examining the different levels of the structure and the creativity desired by the formalists at the thematic level. Surveys show that she has succeeded in many of her stories by using innovative and deconstructive tricks such as meta-narrative tricks, selecting masculine concepts, and narrating them in an emotional atmosphere, violating the principles of conventional traditional structure, creative and combined use of abandoned types while opening a new window on storytelling of his time, influencing the theme and presenting it to the reader in an original way.

The Karabakh theme, which is our destiny-laden issue, has formed the main line of the works of most of our writers, poets, playwrights and publicists since independence. Every person of word from time to time tried to fully revive our national grief, Karabakh, right up to the liberation of our lands from occupation. The novels "Dolu" by Agil Abbas, "Zengule" by Nushaba Mammadli, "Qara qan" by Fazil Guney, the "Qarabagh" trilogy by Sabir Ahmadli, the story "Esirler" by Elchin Huseynbeyli, the story "Shekil" by Sharif Aghayar are remembered as the best works written on the subject of Karabakh since independence. In the works we have mentioned, the Karabakh theme, the longing for the homeland have found a whole poetic solution. As it can be seen, in the period of about thirty years between Karabakh War I and Karabakh War II, in our literature, along with the Karabakh grief, the languor of the Motherland, the loss of land, the topic of irreconcilability has retained its relevance. If we say that war is the greatest crime against mankind, humanity, it may be an understatement. We can talk about the wounds it inflicted on people's lives for years and centuries. However, there are times in history when wars are inevitable. In particular, the struggles of the states to gain freedom and independence were often accompanied by wars in their lives. From this point of view, poets, prose writers, playwrights and publicists of different generations have always focused on the tragedy of our compatriots who have experienced a loss of land and become displaced and displaced in their homeland in literary works.

This paper addresses the concept of Theme and thematic progression in Towriss's novel Ordinary Woman of the Bible: A Mother's Sacrifice: Jochebed's Story (2019). The impetus behind these elements is to pay heed to the journey of Mose's mother through a systematic functional grammar landscape. The aim of this study is to show how different Themes and thematic progression targeted by the novelist and their consistent manipulation serve to expose the story of the secondary characters, Mose's mother as an example. The study follows descriptive analysis including qualitative and quantitative techniques as well as inferential analysis via the chi-square test and the probability value. The analysis reveals that both Theme and thematic progression are escapement techniques to regulate the movement of the lines to form a unified system in the novel. It is concluded that Theme and thematic progression help divulge the suffering, struggle, and tolerance of Jochebed to keep her son safe through a systemic functional grammar frame.

The mystical literature is a literary genre that encompasses topics related to mysticism. Many writers and poets explore these themes in their works. Influenced by Mowlana, the renowned Iranian poet, Christian Bobin, a contemporary French author whose familiarity with Rumi is marked by his passion and his positive outlook towards this Iranian poet, has reflected the mystical themes and elements from Mowlana's poetry into his own works. As the study of influence falls under the purview of comparative literature, we will employ a comparative-analytical method to examine Mowlana's mysticism within the works of the French author. Therefore, this research aims to explore the presence of Mowlana's mysticism in Christian Bobin's texts by employing Siegbert Salomon Prawer’s theories related to the study of themes and influence. We will discover that mystical themes and concepts from Mowlana, such as God's presence and love for Him, the theme of death, and the role of nature, are evident in Bobin's works. This pronounced influence may in turn have played an undeniable role in Bobin's reception in Iran. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education and training in human life is a lifelong process. For this reason, activities in education and training are directly affected by changes in society. During this influence process, experts in their fields prepare education programs by taking into account the needs of the society. These programs are given a general name and called "curriculum".

Of these themes; While the themes of "Virtues", "Our National Culture", "National Struggle and Ataturk" must be covered at every grade level; Apart from the compulsory themes, other given themes are optional. In this context, the text was approached in the light of themes - prioritizing the obligatory themes - and sentences containing the relevant theme in the text were selected and added to the study. The contribution of these themes to the text has also been interpreted in some places. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that Long Story is a text that includes the themes in the Turkish Curriculum and that the text itself can be used while teaching these themes in lessons.

Despite the persistent dominance of a ‘scientific psychology’ paradigm in health psychology, the use of qualitative research continues to grow. Qualitative approaches are often based on fundamentally different values from (post)positivistempiricism, raising important considerations for quality, and whether qualitative work adheres to, and is judged by, appropriate publication standards. Thematic analysis (TA) has become a particularly popular method in qualitative health psychology, but poor practice is widespread. To support high quality, methodologically coherent TA practice and reporting, we critically reviewed 100 systematically selected papers reporting TA, published in five prominent health psychology journals. Our review assessed reported practice, and considered this in relation to methodological and quality recommendations. We identified 10 common areas of problematic practice in the reviewed papers, the majority citing reflexive TA. Considering the role of three ‘arbiters of quality’ in a peer review publication system – authors, reviewers, and editors – we developed 20 recommendations for authors, to support them in conducting and reporting high quality TA research, with associated questions for reviewers and editors to consider when evaluating TA manuscripts for publication. We end with considerations for facilitating better qualitative research, and enriching the understandings and knowledge base from which health psychology is practiced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

1. Introduction Studying the themes of literary works and analyzing them is one of the most important elements of stylistic analysis. In stylistic studies, on the ideational level of thematic texts, it leads to recognize the dominant thinking and the ideological layer of the text. One of the important parts of Iran literature is its local poetry, to which is less paid attention. Researchers can obtain some stylistic points by studying the local literature. In fact, the analysis of the contents of local poems is effective in understanding their style. Farajollah Kamali is one of the poets of Bushehr who has formed his own style by using the local language in his poems. His poems are written in Persian and the local language of Dashtestan. In his works, Kamali refers to various topics such as political, social and philosophical issues. He can express each of these topics in simple and understandable language for his audience. following the examination of frequent themes, this article studies the type of use of literary arts and intertextual connections of the themes of Kamali's poems with other poets have been investigated in order to determine Kamali's individual style. By examining Kamali's poems, it is clear that as a local poet he did not consider his audience limited to a specific region. In his poems, the traditional figures of speech have taken a new form in expressing a specific theme with the local language in a symbolic form. Kamali's critical language in expressing the themes with the use of local words and expressions and humor has created his special style. 2. Methodology The statistical population of the research is two poetry books by Kamali with 230 poetry titles. Dashtestuni contains 47 poems and 871 verses and Velik Nale-ye Bichargan contains 162 poem titles and 707 verses and 79 lines of modern poetry. The method of this research is qualitative along and quantitative. 3. Discussion In Kamali's poem, we can see expressing feelings. Description of love, the lover, and the beloved has a high frequency. Kamali's attitude to this theme has two aspects: On the one hand, his view is based on literary tradition and, on the other hand, he has taken a realistic view and against literary tradition. Along with the traditional view about the beloved, Kamali also takes a realistic view. In this view, the beloved is attainable and in his poetry, we can see erotic descriptions of the connection between the lover and the beloved. Another frequent theme in Kamali's poetry is patriotism. This theme is in 157 verses and 12 parts of modern poetry by 16%. Patriotism in Kamali's poems ha three categories: in the first category, Kamali praises his hometown; in the second part, he praises Iran; in the third category, he describes homeland in a general and universal sense. In addition to praising the nation and the country, Kamali consider with the theme of cosmopolitanism. Kamali describes universal values, honoring his people as well as his homeland and country. Another frequent theme in Kamali's poem is dedication poems and elegies. The audience of these poems are the poet's family, his close friends, local poets or Iranian poets and celebrities. Among these audiences, the name of Iraj Shamsizade is the most visible. Elegy is a very common tradition in Persian literature; after death of someone respected, the poet makes a poem to mourn them. An example of Kamali's elegies is the poem for Hedayatullah Kamali, his brother. One of the most frequent symbols in Kamali's poems is mentioning historical and non-historical and mythological persons. mentioning names of these people in terms of is not limited to Iranian nationality and includes figures such as Descartes or Kant. one of the other themes of Kamali's poems is paying attention to philosophical concepts. Kamali's view about word and different issues is negative; this negative worldview is derived from his realistic approach. Like most of contemporary poets, Kamali has expressed social and political issues. This critical theme is seen in 80 verses by 8% in Kamali's poems. Among the social issues, the theme of "freedom" is one of Kamali's main concerns, which he frequently mentions in his poems. One of the traditions in Persian poetry is the theme of death. This theme is seen in Kamali's works in 7 verses of classical works and 3 parts of modern poetries by 1%. Kamali's view about this issue is based on his realistic worldview. Another theme in Kamali's poetry is considered with didactic aspects. Kamali, focusing on "you" or the audience, refers to didactic themes that have been noted in the works of other poets such as Sa'di and Hafez. Another theme in Kamali's poems is nostalgia and mourning the past. This theme includes both a nostalgic look at the historical past and his individuals past. Another frequently used theme in literature is description of nature and its beauty. This theme has a specific relationship with the living environment of the poets. For example, in poems of Manoochehr Atashi, the southern element is very effective, and in the poems of Nima, the northern atmosphere is seen. Farajollah Kamali also has a southern poetic atmosphere due to living in the south of the country, which is also evident in his descriptive poems. Many of symbols in Kmali's poetry, like heat, belongs to the south of the country. 4. Conclusion By studying the collection of Farajullah Kamali's poems, it became clear that, because of diversity of his poems in terms of form, there are many themes such as political, social, and national theme; description of nature; etc. Addressing the lyrical theme has the highest frequency in his poems by 37%. useing of marked figures of speech such as metaphor, simile, irony, allegory and humor and stylistic deviations with the use of words, expressions and local ironies have also distinguished her individual style from others. Issues such as dedicated poems and elegies, and the theme of patriotism and cosmopolitanism, and finally praise of the hometown are ranked second by 16%. In elegies and dedicated poems, the poet has mentioned many historical, literary, and philosophical figures. In these themes, the explicit and implicit intertextual connection of Kamali's poems with the works of poets such as Khayyam, Hafez, Mowlavi, Nezami, Ferdowsi, etc. can be seen. Some of Kamali's poems contain critical themes. Social critics has 11% more frequency than other critical topics. Other themes such as description of nature and being sad because of the past and death and immortality are the least used themes in his poems by 1%. The theme of pessimism by 5% in Kamali's poems expresses his hopeless approach to the world. Kamali has paid less attention to the didactic content. In only 3% of his poems, he pay attention to preaching, which often associated with his hopeless worldview. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper suggests the analysis of the way dystopian genre invariant was realized in the novel The Children of Men by the English writer P.D. James. Particularly, the author of the article studies the novel’s conceptual and thematic elements regarding dystopian canon. Firstly, the article characterizes literary dystopia. Secondly, it defines the level of novel’s research in Russian and English literary studies. Thirdly, using the methods of genre typology and artistic analysis, the article investigates conceptual and thematic content of the novel, that is defined, according to the canon, by the concept of power, theme of an authoritarian state, problems of freedom restriction, progress of material values and regress of spiritual ones and by the complex of motifs (destruction of the past, standardization, prevention, etc.). The results show that the dystopia The Children of Men was written in the conceptual and substantial aspect within the bounds of the genre tradition. At the same time the motif of family ties’ destruction and decay of family is presented originally: the central image of the child gains sacred meaning. The author intensifies the motifs of prevention and profanation of sacred biblical thematic.
