Argüello, Ph.D. Date Division of Social work iv Abstract of SOCIAL WORKERS’ PERSPECTIVES REGARDING THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND ITS IMPACT IN THEIR PRACTICE by Kaarteeka Prasad This study explored how social media platforms impact social workers in their field of practice. The study utilized a quantitative survey research design that asked participants to respond to questionnaire items using a Likert scale. Participants (n=30) were selected via convenience and snowball sampling and were asked to respond to survey question items regarding their perspective towards using social media networking sites. Data analysis showed that there was only one statistically significant association between field practice experiences and practitioners who used social media to find evidence to use for professional work purposes. Implications for the social work practice and policy are discussed. _____________________________, Committee Chair Maria Dinis, Ph.D _______________________ Date v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents, Jagdish and Chandra Prasad.

  • Two Modern Compositional Approaches
    Musical Aesthetics of the Natural World: Two Modern Compositional Approaches Eli Stine and Christopher Luna-Mega University of Virginia, McIntire Department of Music Throughout recorded human history, experiences and observations of the natural world have inspired the arts. Within the sonic arts, evocations of nature permeate a wide variety of acoustic and electronic composition strategies. These strategies artistically investigate diverse attributes of nature: tranquility, turbulence, abundance, scarcity, complexity, and purity, to name but a few. Within the 20th century, new technologies to understand these attributes, including media recording and scientific analysis, were developed. These technologies allow music composi- tion strategies to go beyond mere evocation and to allow for the construction of musical works that engage explicit models of nature (what has been called ‘biologically inspired music’). This paper explores two such deployments of these ‘natural sound models’ within music and music generation systems created by the authors: an electroacoustic composition using data derived from multi-channel recordings of forest insects (Luna-Mega) and an electronic music generation system that extracts musical events from the different layers of natural soundscapes, in particular oyster reef soundscapes (Stine). Together these works engage a diverse array of extra-musical disciplines: environmental science, acoustic ecology, entomology, and computer science. The works are contextualized with a brief history of natural sound models from pre- antiquity to the present in addition to reflections on the uses of technology within these projects and the potential experiences of audiences listening to these works. “Great art picks up where nature ends.” - Mark Chagall and aesthetics towards a more quantitative awareness of how The natural world has been a focal point for the arts since the natural world functions and evolves is present within a the Upper Paleolithic.

  • Language Evolution to Revolution: from a Slowly Developing Finite Communication System with Many Words to Infinite Modern Language

Language evolution to revolution: from a slowly developing finite communication system with many words to infinite modern language Andrey Vyshedskiy1,2* 1Boston University, Boston, USA 2ImagiRation LLC, Boston, MA, USA Keywords: Language evolution, hominin evolution, human evolution, recursive language, flexible syntax, human language, syntactic language, modern language, Cognitive revolution, Great Leap Forward, Upper Paleolithic Revolution, Neanderthal language Abstract There is overwhelming archeological and genetic evidence that modern speech apparatus was acquired by hominins by 600,000 years ago. There is also widespread agreement that modern syntactic language arose with behavioral modernity around 100,000 years ago. We attempted to answer two crucial questions: (1) how different was the communication system of hominins before acquisition of modern language and (2) what triggered the acquisition of modern language 100,000 years ago. We conclude that the communication system of hominins prior to 100,000 years ago was finite and not- recursive. It may have had thousands of words but was lacking flexible syntax, spatial prepositions, verb tenses, and other features that enable modern human language to communicate an infinite number of ideas. We argue that a synergistic confluence of a genetic mutation that dramatically slowed down the prefrontal cortex (PFC) development in monozygotic twins and their spontaneous invention of spatial prepositions 100,000 years ago resulted in acquisition of PFC-driven constructive imagination (mental synthesis) and converted the finite communication system of their ancestors into infinite modern language.

  • How Did Language Begin?
    How did language begin? Written by Ray Jackendoff What does the question mean? In asking about the origins of human language, we first have to make clear what the question is. The question is not how languages gradually developed over time into the languages of the world today. Rather, it is how the human species developed over time so that we — and not our closest relatives, the chimpanzees and bonobos — became capable of using language. And what an amazing development this was! No other natural communication system is like human language. Human language can express thoughts on an unlimited number of topics (the weather, the war, the past, the future, mathematics, gossip, fairy tales, how to fix the sink...). It can be used not just to convey information, but to solicit information (ques- tions) and to give orders. Unlike any other animal communication system, it contains an expression for negation — what is not the case. Every human lan- guage has a vocabulary of tens of thousands of words, built up from several dozen speech sounds. Speakers can build an unlimited number of phrases and sentences out of words plus a smallish collec- tion of prefixes and suffixes, and the meanings of sentences are built from the meanings of the individ- ual words. What is still more remarkable is that every normal child learns the whole system from hearing others use it. Animal communication systems, in contrast, typically have at most a few dozen distinct calls, and they are used only to communicate immediate issues such as food, danger, threat, or reconciliation.

  • Art and Symbolism: the Case Of
    ON THE EMERGENCE OF ART AND SYMBOLISM: THE CASE OF NEANDERTAL ‘ART’ IN NORTHERN SPAIN by Amy Chase B.A. University of Victoria, 2011 A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2017 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT The idea that Neandertals possessed symbolic and artistic capabilities is highly controversial, as until recently, art creation was thought to have been exclusive to Anatomically Modern Humans. An intense academic debate surrounding Neandertal behavioural and cognitive capacities is fuelled by methodological advancements, archaeological reappraisals, and theoretical shifts. Recent re-dating of prehistoric rock art in Spain, to a time when Neandertals could have been the creators, has further fuelled this debate. This thesis aims to address the underlying causes responsible for this debate and investigate the archaeological signifiers of art and symbolism. I then examine the archaeological record of El Castillo, which contains some of the oldest known cave paintings in Europe, with the objective of establishing possible evidence for symbolic and artistic behaviour in Neandertals. The case of El Castillo is an illustrative example of some of the ideas and concepts that are currently involved in the interpretation of Neandertals’ archaeological record. As the dating of the site layer at El Castillo is problematic, and not all materials were analyzed during this study, the results of this research are rather inconclusive, although some evidence of probable symbolic behaviour in Neandertals at El Castillo is identified and discussed.

    EPAPER LIVE TV DAWNNEWS URDU IMAGES HERALD AURORA CITYFM89 TEELI ADVERTISE EVENTS / SUPPLEMENTS CLASSIFIEDS OBITUARIES TODAY'S PAPER | MAY 03, 2021 Cave painting: Demons and depictions Zulfiqar Ali Kalhoro | Published August 16, 2015 Painting in Lahuat Rock Shelter From time to time rock paintings have been discovered in different regions of Pakistan such as the Musa Khel region of Loralai District in Balochistan, the Buner, Swat and Mansehra Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and Khaplu and Astor in Gilgit-Baltisan. The earliest specimen of rock paintings is located at Malvi in the Musa Khel Tehsil of Lora Lai District, Balochistan. There are nine rock shelters at this site which depict pre- historic and pre-Buddhist paintings. But what may be surprising is that both petroglyphs and pictographs have been found in the Gadap Tehsil of Karachi while rock carvings have been found at Lahaut (Nain Mol), Rahim Bakhsh Gabol and Maher in Gadap Tehsil. The rock carvings at Rahim Bakhsh Village are engraved on bedrock and include carvings of geometric designs, shoe prints and arrows. Apart from the petroglyphs at the Rahim Bakhsh rock-art site, one also finds both petroglyphs and pictograms in the Maher Valley. Petroglyphs are found at Baithi Lak (pass) near the Lahaut rock shelter. This is the main Lak through which people enter into the valley of Maher. There are many petroglyphs on the sandstone rock wall with the majority of these engravings being geometric designs. Painting of the so-called Maher Deity Rock paintings are located in a rock shelter at Lahaut in Maher Valley, situated about 60 km north of Karachi.

  • Lecture No. 5. the Evidence of Language Origins
    Semiotix Course 2006, Cognition and symbolism in human evolution Robert Bednarik Lecture No. 5. The evidence of language origins Human language Culture refers to the individually acquired system of ‘understanding’ which reflects the distinctive life trajectory of the organism in question. It refers to socially rather than genetically transmitted behaviour patterns and their products. ‘Cultural dynamics’, therefore, are the processes by which the intelligent organism alters its perceptible reality through its dialectic participation in the processes shaping it (Bednarik 1990). Since the inevitable outcome of such interaction between percepts, concepts and behaviour patterns is selection in favour of increased level of ‘intelligence’, it is to be expected to result in forms of ‘consciousness’, such as those of humans. The process is reified through the perceptible (perceptible, for instance, to humans) externalizations of a species’ concepts onto physical reality (art, in the case of humans), which renders possible the reality constructs of the species, because the neural structures supporting such concepts become available for processing natural sensory stimuli in a taxonomizing format (Bednarik 1995: 628). Since this is the basis of human consciousness, it would be pointless trying to understand human constructs of reality without considering this evolutionary context, or their nexus with cognitive evolution. The purpose of this lecture is to examine the origins of human language ability itself, but this involves visiting several other issues, as well as considering a variety of potential explanations. There is no consensus on this subject at all, and the hypotheses we have range from one extreme to the other. According to the spectrum of current hypotheses, the advent of language occurred at some point between 3.5 million and 32,000 years ago.
