HUBUNGAN KUALITAS TIDUR DENGAN PRODUKTIVITAS KERJA PADA PEKERJA PABRIK ROKOK BAGIAN PRODUKSI PT. GAJAH BARU KABUPATEN MALANG

Background: Good sleep quality refers to how well a person sleeps which involves various factors including the depth of sleep, the speed to enter the deep sleep phase (rapid eye movement/REM), how often a person wakes up during the night, and how relaxed they feel when they wake up and get the right amount of sleep so that sleep disorders can be avoided. The 7 aspects of sleep quality indicators include subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping pills and daytime activity dysfunction. Poor sleep quality affects work productivity. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality and work productivity of workers of PT Gajah Baru Malang Regency. Methods: This study is an analytic, quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach with a total sample of 43 people. The instruments used were The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and work productivity questionnaire. Results: The results of the Chi-Square test state that the relationship between sleep quality and work productivity (p=0.000022) and the Spearman's Coefficient Rank value (0.000003) indicates that there is a relationship between sleep quality and work productivity. The correlation coefficient value on both variables is -0.647 indicating that the direction of the relationship is inversely proportional, with the interpretation of sleep quality with a high score, the higher the sleep quality score, which means the worse its sleep quality, the lower its work productivity. Conclusion: There is a relationship between sleep quality and work productivity of cigarette factory workers of PT Gajah Baru Malang Regency with the interpretation of sleep quality with a high score, the higher the sleep quality score, the worse the sleep quality, the lower the work productivity

The Voices of Native Guard: From the Page to Performance

Published in 2006, Native Guard received the Pulitzer Prize in 2007, and the book's author, Natasha Trethewey, went on to become the US Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. Trethewey emphasizes that Native Guard is a book of poetry, not a collection of poems that were gathered together for publication. This one among many reasons it was an excellent source for a theatrical production by the Alliance Theatre (in Atlanta) in 2014, in restaged in 2018. Actors January Lavoy (the poet) and Anton Neal (the native guard) breathe new life into Trethewey's work, expressing the deep musicality of the mixture of prose and verse. This study applies methods from computational linguistics to understand how the actors use rhythm and intonation make the written word come alive in this unusual production, termed a "Theatrical Installation". Director Susan Booth and the actors were very deliberate in their fidelity to the written word--they made a commitment to Trethewey to not alter a single line of text. This offers a unique opportunity to study how the poem is interpreted both in recitation and performance across a decade: the study interprets recordings by Trethewey (2007) and the theatrical productions of 2014 and 2018.

Evaluating the prevalence and dimensions of poetry interventions to enable change and transformation in organizations

Today, organizations and their employees operate in times of increased complexity, ambiguity, and constant change. Traditional methods for enabling change and transformation are no longer sufficient to generate alignment and shared understanding to create adaptive ways of working. Organizations must identify new tools when engaged in change and transformation. Poetry, a time-honored practice, is an unconventional choice for organizational interventions. Still, it may be a solution for organizations seeking to unstick, reframe, and pivot quickly toward a new and shared reality. This study evaluated the practice and dimensions of poetry interventions used by change practitioners when enabling change and transformation in organizations. The literature review explored the history of poetry to demonstrate its enduring value across time, cultures, and languages. It explored the practical components of poetry, the power of storytelling, and its ability to move and evoke an emotional effect in humans. Also, it examined the modern-day change in the corporate world and the role of sensemaking amid change. Finally, it explored the intersection of poetry and the modern corporate world. This study used a qualitative method design and gathered data across nine interviews with change practitioners. This method explored an intervention’s characteristics, conditions, and results. Engagements with interview participants covered ten core questions. Key themes are organized around intellectual, pleasure, emotional, and awe-inspiring aspects that can be attributed to the aesthetic experience (Csikszentmihalyi & Robinson, 1990). There is a cognitive experience for those who engage with poetry that can be attributed to poetry’s construct and the human system. Poetry can be a pleasing exercise for its audiences leading to active listening, engagement, and diverse thinking. An emotional response can be a natural reaction to poetry, and this study’s interviewees recounted an emotional experience for their intervention participants and themselves. Finally, the sense of awe. The aesthetic experience is described as transcendental and applies to a poetic experience, according to this study’s research. A summary of the study is offered, including recommendations, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future studies

Poetry Is Powerful: High School Students and Pre-Service Teachers Develop Literacy Relationships through Poetry

Teaching poetry can serve as a roadblock for many English teachers who lack confidence with the genre. Likewise, high school students struggle reading poetry and creating their own poetic works. In an effort to provide an authentic learning experience for our students, we created a semester-long, collaborative poetry project between our high school and college students. This manuscript provides details about the goals, processes, and takeaways for both groups of participants. The high school students were two classes of freshman-level English students who practiced developing critical literacy skills while reading, reciting, and writing poetry. The college students were pre-service English teachers taking a required graduate level course in teaching adolescent readers. The pre-service teachers developed mentoring relationships with the high school students, thus gaining experience and confidence in teaching the genre. We conclude with reflections, namely how the project provided an authentic audience for the high school students while pre-service teachers had the opportunity to interact with effective literacy pedagogy

Aesthetics of Sanskrit Poetry from the Perspective of Computational Linguistics: A Case Study Analysis on Siksastaka

Sanskrit poetry has played a significant role in shaping the literary and cultural landscape of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. However, not much attention has been devoted to uncovering the hidden beauty of Sanskrit poetry in computational linguistics. This article explores the intersection of Sanskrit poetry and computational linguistics by proposing a roadmap of an interpretable framework to analyze and classify the qualities and characteristics of fine Sanskrit poetry. We discuss the rich tradition of Sanskrit poetry and the significance of computational linguistics in automatically identifying the characteristics of fine poetry. The proposed framework involves a human-in-the-loop approach that combines deterministic aspects delegated to machines and deep semantics left to human experts. We provide a deep analysis of Siksastaka, a Sanskrit poem, from the perspective of 6 prominent kavyashastra schools, to illustrate the proposed framework. Additionally, we provide compound, dependency, anvaya (prose order linearised form), meter, rasa (mood), alankar (figure of speech), and riti (writing style) annotations for Siksastaka and a web application to illustrate the poem's analysis and annotations. Our key contributions include the proposed framework, the analysis of Siksastaka, the annotations and the web application for future research.

Using alternative inter-disciplinary pedagogies in teaching poetry to Grade 10 English first additional language learners at a township school

Submitted to the University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of EducationThe purpose of this project was to explore and establish whether the introduction of alternative inter-disciplinary pedagogies such as multiliteracy, multimodality and translanguaging would help improve learners' understanding of poetry specifically and improve their reading in general. The methodology adopted was action research, specifically, reflective classroom enquiry an educator my focus was on questioning my own practice for not only personal development, better professional practice and more, self-development through rigorous evaluation and critical self-examination to improve pedagogy. In other words, improving of professional practice is side by side with increase of knowledge in one’s practice. Crucial is involvement of another colleague in designing pedagogical instruments which cause for openness to alternative view points in the implementation. In collaboration with my colleague, findings seem to suggest that mixing translanguaging and multimodality in poetry teaching and learning can result favourably in an increase across four crucial pedagogical learning areas: more participation, increased engagement with the text and one another, positive interest in poetry, better clarity in expression of thoughts, feelings and emotions compared to the traditional way of teaching. Rigorous planning combined with relevant pedagogical tools are key in enhancement of poetry teaching and learning for better understanding and can thus change the negative attitude in poetry teaching, another element in this report is professional development from knowledge gained. Ultimately, the result is that more engagement in reflective practice improved my own pedagogical practice. This reflective classroom inquiry in poetry teaching enhances understanding in my own practice for better lesson delivery.XL201

Zašto Jesenje veče nije (samo) pejzažna pjesma? Problematika kategorizacije

This paper presents the problem of poetry classification, on the basis of the poem Jesenje veče [Autumn Evening] written by Antun Gustav Matoš. The mentioned poem, in school readers, is referred to as an example of landscape poem although in the accompanying tasks it is demanded of pupils to identify the presence of the author himself in the poem and explain the symbolism. That is, it is expected from pupils to think, contemplate and read the text – in one word, reflexion is required, by which the landscape becomes only the textual indicator of something else. Hence, this paper presents the possibility of a different classification of the poem, focusing on its reflexive elements, indicating extratextuality, shift from landscape, but above all a need to understand the text, contrary to its classification into a category.Ovaj će rad prikazati problematičnost kategorizacije lirskih pjesama na temelju pjesme Antuna Gustava Matoša Jesenje veče. Navedena se pjesma u udžbenicima navodi kao primjer pejzažne pjesme iako se u popratnim zadatcima od učenika zahtijeva da unutar nje pronađu pjesnika (umjetnika) i objasne simboliku. Odnosno, od učenika se zahtijeva razmišljanje, rasuđivanje i iščitavanje – jednom riječju zahtijeva se refleksija, čime pejzaž zapravo postaje samo tekstualni pokazatelj nečega drugog. Stoga će rad prikazati mogućnost drugačije kategorizacije navedene pjesme i usmjeriti se na njezine misaone (refleksivne) elemente. Time će se ukazati na izvantekstualnost, odmak od pejzaža, no prije svega na potrebu razumijevanja teksta, nasuprot njegovu svrstavanju u kategorije
