TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the connotation of tectonics (the classical and the digital) in architectural theory and its role as an art of construction and artistic design.
Abstract: Tectonics is one of the most essential topics in architectural theory that refers to various qualities of architecture. It resembles the integration of structure and construction, the application of technical aspects, and the attention to detail creativity in a harmonious and systematic way that reflects the cultural and aesthetic qualities, and relates to different aspects of skills, methods, materials and proportions. With the introduction of the computer into the architectural design process, theories of architecture became more influenced by the possibilities of this tool. Classical tectonics had included digital aids to create a new version of tectonics known as Digital tectonics, which is an integrated process that resembles a new way of thinking about architecture to easily define the dynamic state of digital production. The paper aims to explore the connotation of tectonics (the classical and the digital) in architectural theory and its role as an art of construction and artistic design.

TL;DR: A lexical resource for “connotations” is used to create a parallel corpus and a method for argument reframing that combines controllable text generation (positive connotation) with a post-decoding entailment component (same denotation) is proposed.
Abstract: Framing involves the positive or negative presentation of an argument or issue depending on the audience and goal of the speaker. Differences in lexical framing, the focus of our work, can have large effects on peoples’ opinions and beliefs. To make progress towards reframing arguments for positive effects, we create a dataset and method for this task. We use a lexical resource for “connotations” to create a parallel corpus and propose a method for argument reframing that combines controllable text generation (positive connotation) with a post-decoding entailment component (same denotation). Our results show that our method is effective compared to strong baselines along the dimensions of fluency, meaning, and trustworthiness/reduction of fear.

TL;DR: The authors argue that lazy practices can become useful for post-qualitative inquiry that seeks to disrupt normative explanations of the world, and then provide post-quantitative inquiry with an additional tool for contributing to social justice via social research.
Abstract: Laziness is commonly perceived as lethargy and carries a negative connotation. In this article, I argue to understand laziness as a political stance and suggest that lazy practices can become useful for postqualitative inquiry that seeks to disrupt normative explanations of the world. As political action, laziness, then provides postqualitative inquiry with an additional tool for contributing to social justice via social research. Laziness combats the neoliberal condition in which academic research is situated and might serve as a virtue of postqualitative inquiry.

TL;DR: In this paper , an improved two-stage non-cooperative data envelopment analysis (ITNDEA) is further proposed to measure GLID efficiency by taking 30 Chinese provinces in 2020 as cases, and the results are finally compared with that by Two-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis (TDEA), and Two-stage Non-Cooperative Data Encoder Analysis (TNDEA).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how feelings, emotions and ideological beliefs of individuals or groups were conveyed through linguistic expressions to manipulate those of others in political discourse, and they adopted a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to describe and analyse the patterns of language use in three of the last presidential campaign speeches in Nigeria.
Abstract: In this paper, the author investigated how feelings, emotions as well as ideological beliefs of individuals or groups were conveyed through linguistic expressions to manipulate those of others. He adopted a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to describe and analyse the patterns of language use in three of the last presidential campaign speeches in Nigeria with the aim of uncovering the hidden meaning relating to the social structures, identities and power relations between the electorates, political office holders. Concepts like topicalisation, mood system, passivisation, presupposition, connotation, tone and style, among others, were considered. Through the application of Critical Discourse Analysis, the findings revealed how language was used to champion individual interests in political discourse. The author explicated how the aspirants, through the manipulation of linguistic facilities, reconstructed and controlled people’s thoughts and perceptions and concluded by awakening the consciousness of every reader of political discourse to read between the lines because utterances in the political campaign arena are not
