Narrating Ambivalence of Maternal Responsibility

Early motherhood and caring for the infant involve a moral ambiguity that is related to the questions of responsibility and vulnerability. By means of the ethics of care, motherhood can be understood as belonging to the moral domain, as relational, and as linked with everyday social situations. The culturally dominant narratives of \'good mothering\' easily naturalise and normatise maternal agency. This study illustrates the process of adopting responsibility for the infant and the moral ambivalence that is inscribed in early maternal care. The data consist of four interview sessions with each of seven first-time mothers conducted during pregnancy and the first post-natal year. The interviews concentrated on events, relationships, routines, thoughts and feelings related to the mothers\' daily caring for the baby. The women talked about their experiences drawing on two different narratives. The narrative of desirable responsibility unfolded the positive aspects of caring and responsibility for the baby. By means of this narrative, the women were able to give coherence to their lives as new mothers and to narrate the pleasure they felt in taking responsibility for their baby. In contrast, the narrative of maternal vulnerability showed the shadow side of maternal care focusing on the mothers\' tiredness and distress. This narrative embodied \'moral monitoring\' and \'epistemological struggles\' between the dominant cultural narratives and the mothers\' personal narratives. The study shows that early mothering is morally laden in two different ways simultaneously. Mothering itself is a moral disposition and practice characterised by ambivalence. The cultural narratives of \'good mothering\' play a dual role in this process: they tempt women into pursuing intensive mothering, but at the same time they create an elusive moral imperative.Care, Cultural Narratives, Ethics of Care, Morality, Motherhood, Narrative Research, Pleasure, Vulnerability

Apposition Groups in Dede Korkut Stories

Unvan grubu, bir şahıs adı ile bir unvan veya akrabalık gösteren ismin yan yana gelerek oluşturduğu kelime grubudur. Unvan gösteren isim, şahıs adından önce de sonra da gelebilir. Bu çalışmada Türk dili ve edebiyatı alanının en seçkin eserlerinden biri olan Dede Korkut'taki unvan grupları ele alınmıştır. Tespit edilen gruplar, 23 ana başlık altında incelenmiştir. Apposition group is a group of words consisting of a personal name together with an apposition word or with a word showing relationship. The noun representing the apposition can be after or before the personal name. In this study, the apposition groups of Dede Korkut, one of the substantial works of Turkish Language and Literature, has been studied. Groups in question have been examined under 23 subgroups

Effect of Vulcanization System and Carbon Black on Mechanical and Swelling Properties of EPDM Blends

EPDM (Ethylene propylene diene monomer) is one of synthetic rubber that widely used in automotive. It must be vulcanized and added by other materials before used. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of vulcanization system and the addition of carbon black (CB) to the mechanical properties and swelling characteristic of EPDM. This research used three vulcanization system, conventional vulcanization (CV), efficient vulcanization (EV) and semi-efficient vulcanization (SEV) with the variation of carbon black 50, 60, 70 phr (per hundred resin). This research showed that EV system resulted faster vulcanization time and lower delta torque than SEV and CV systems. This system also performed the highest tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength, while SEV system resulted the highest hardness. Furthermore, the conventional vulcanization system resulted the lowest swelling index

THE EFFECT OF USING RAFT (ROLE, AUDIENCE, FORMAT, TOPIC) STRATEGY TOWARD STUDENTS’ ABILITY IN WRITING NARRATIVE TEXT AT THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS OF SMA N 12 PEKANBARU

Fokus utama dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada atau tidak perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan siswa dalam pemahaman menulis teks narrative menggunakan strategi RAFT dan dengan tidak menggunakan strategy RAFT di sekolah SMAN 12 Pekanbaru. Pada penelitian ini, jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah quasi-ekperimental. Penulis menggunakan nonrandomized control pre-test and post-test design. Penulis menggunakan 2 kelas sebagai sampel yang terdiri dari 80 siswa. Kelas pertama sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas kedua adalah kelas control. Kelas eksperimen diajarkan dengan menggunakan strategy RAFT dan kelas control diajarkan dengan tidak menggunakan strategy RAFT. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah tes. Tes digunakan untuk mengumpul data dari kemampuan anak di dalam pemahaman menulis. Teknik analisa data menggunakan rumus Independent Sample T-test dalam tujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan nilai rata-rata antara kelas eksperimen dan kelas control dengan mempertimbangkan degree of freedom (df). Berdasarkan analisis data, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikkan antara kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks narrative diajarkan dengan menggunakan strategy RAFTdan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks narrative dengan tidak menggunakan strategy RAFT dengan konsiderasi t0 = 3.30 lebih tinggi dari ttable pada taraf signifikan 5% = 2.65 atau pada taraf signifikan 1% = 2.00. dapat dibaca 2.652.00. Itu berarti bahwa Ha diterima H0 ditolak. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan antara kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks narrative diajar dengan menggunakan strategi RAFT dan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis diajar dengan tidak menggunakan strategi RAFT. Dengan kata lain, ada efek signifikan menggunakan strategi RAFT untuk meningkatkan menulis teks narrative siswa kelas dua SMAN 12 pekanbaru

CATEGORIZATION OF EMOTION VERBS IN BAHASA INDONESIA

This article discusses the categorization of emotion verbs in bahasa Indonesia. As the analytical tools,semantic primes from the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage were used. The research data werecollected through observation and interview methods. The data were analyzed using identity anddistribution methods and the results of data analysis were formally and informally presented. The resultshowed that emotion verbs can be divided into stative emotion verbs (SEV) characterized by [-controlled,-volition] and active emotion verbs (AEV) characterized by [+controlled, +volition]. The SEV scenario is‘X felt something, NOT BECAUSE X WANTED IT’ and the AEV scenario is ‘X felt something BECAUSE X WASSAYING TO HIM/HERSELF THINGS WHICH COULD CAUSE ONE TO FEEL IT’. Furthermore, SEV is divided intosubcategories: (1) ‘something bad happened’ (SEDIH, SAD), (2) ‘something bad can/will happen’ (TAKUT, FEAR), (3) ‘people can think something bad about me’ (MALU, SHAME), and (4) ‘I do not think that thingslike this can/will happen’ (HERAN, AMAZED). AEV is divided into subcategories: (1) ’something goodhappened’ (SENANG, HAPPY), (2) ‘I think about something’ (SANGSI, DOUBT), (3) ‘I did something bad’(MENYESAL, REMORSE), (4) ‘I think about someone else’ (CINTA, LOVE), and (5) ‘I do not want things likethis to happen) (MARAH, ANGRY)

Higher spin vortical zilches from Kubo formulae

We compute thermal one-point functions in Maxwell's theory sourced by vorticity for the zilch and its higher spin extensions via the Kubo formalism. This leads to a generalization of the recent results of [M. N. Chernodub, A. Cortijo, and K. Landsteiner, Phys. Rev. D 98, 065016 (2018)PRVDAQ2470-001010.1103/PhysRevD.98.065016] to any spin, and their value suggests a relation with possible anomalies for the higher spin tower of currents.This work is supported by FPA2015-65480-P (MINECO/FEDER,UE) and by the Spanish Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación) through the grant IFT Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa SEV-2016-0597.
