The existing literature review articles in composite materials research field target a particular resin material which cannot show the full picture of the research area. The traditional literature reviews are vulnerable to subjective opinion on selecting, reviewing and analyzing the related articles. In this systematic literature review, keywords were input into Web of Science (WOS) search engine to collect relevant articles from the database. This method can more comprehensively review articles that are related to fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Articles published from 1970 to 2020 were collected from the WOS database. Keywords input were relevant to manufacturing, enhancement and sustainability of fiber-reinforced polymer composites and their variants. 151 articles were selected based on keyword filtering, nature of articles and content, and further examined with citation network analysis. Seven principal clusters were formed and evaluated. Publication year, geographical locations, research areas and journal of the selected articles were presented statistically. Two major clusters, “fabrication and molding methods of composites” and “properties and performance of multiscale composites”, were identified and a few emerging clusters were found to establish their networks including topics about impact response, natural fiber, rapid curing, nanofiller, and hydrothermal aging. Future research and more results are needed in those emerging clusters.

Summary : A Comprehensive Website for Canonical Texts

literature network

The Literature Network offers users a comprehensive resource for locating information about famous authors, their works, and the time periods when they worked. After launching the website, the “Home” section shows a list of the authors included on the website, recent forum posts, and popular quizzes. Users can click on an author’s name, forum title, or quiz to access it. The “Authors” section again lists all the authors included on the website, and users can click an author’s name to learn more about him/her, access their biography, and read any recent forum posts related to the author.

The “Shakespeare” section offers a biography of the famous bard, titles of his works, along with forums related to him. The “Religious,” “Reference,” and “Summaries” sections let users read a complete text by first choosing it from the list and then clicking the “Text/Summary” button on the left of the screen to access it. The “Quotes” section lets users to search for famous lines and saying by entering the author’s name, work, or quote in the search box, and the website will return different quotes attributed to the author. The “Forums” section allows users read posts about a variety of literary-related topics.

If they register and sign in, users will be able to create their own forums and post replies to other users’ posts. The “Periods & Movements” section provides overviews of literary movements mostly in England and the United States. A unique feature of this section is the timeline infographic , which provides detailed information about literary shifts. The “Quizzes” section lets users take a user-generated quiz about one of the authors or works included in this website. For each quiz, it shows the topic, amount of questions, and average score. If users are registered with the “Forums” section of this website, they will be able to create and post their own quizzes.

Instructional Ideas for the Literature Network

  • After reading a text or passage of a text, teachers can have students read about the author and time period when the text was composed. Next, students can write how themes from the author’s life or time period was reflected in the text. Students can then post their writing to a class website to share their thoughts.
  • Before reading a text, students can take a quiz about the text that is posted to this website. Then, after reading the text, students can retake the same quiz to see if their score improved. In addition, teachers can have students register with the “Forum” section and then create their own quiz for their classmates and other people to take.
  • When reading a text and needing extra support in understanding it, students can search for the text’s summary and information about it using this website. They can then compare that information to other websites, such as Spark Notes, to identify credible information.
  • After reading a text, students can browse the forums related to it. Students can then add their response to the forum or begin a new one for the text. Once they post or create a new forum, they can post a notification about it on a class website, so their peers can view it.
  • When finding out information related to a text, students can view the information in the “Periods & Movements” tab to place the text in a specific time period. Students can then write a short rationale that explains why the text of interest fits into the specific time period and post that information to a class website.

Take your first dive into Japanese literature from the comfort of your kitchen

Japanese author Banana Yoshimoto came onto the scene in 1987 with “Kitchin.” In it, her main character talks about the comfort she finds in her kitchen.

Banana Yoshimoto burst onto the Japanese literary scene in 1987 with her mega-hit novel, “キッチン” ( Kitchin , Kitchen). It was so explosively popular that literary critics actually started to think that Yoshimoto had launched Japan into a whole new era of literature. Megan Backus’ 1993 English translation was well-received, and a generation of English-language readers have gobbled up Yoshimoto’s novels in translation with the same voracious appetite of book lovers here in Japan.

Reading Japanese 小説 ( shōsetsu , novels) not only provides excellent vocabulary and grammar practice but it also throws a reader straight into the most poetic and profound depths of the country’s culture. So let’s take a look at how to read the opening sentences of “キッチン,” breaking down the more unusual and interesting aspects of the text along the way. (Note: The English provided after the text is not Backus’ translation. I used a literal translation to best follow Yoshimoto’s specific sentence structures as they appear in Japanese.)

Yoshimoto begins the tale: 私がこの世で一番好きな場所は台所だと思う ( Watashi ga konoyo de ichiban sukina basho wa daidokoro da to omou , The place that I like the most in this world is the kitchen). One interesting point right off the bat is that Mikage says 台所 ( daidokoro , kitchen) rather than the 和製英語 of the book title, キッチン. While the two terms are interchangeable, 台所 has a more traditional, stable association, while キッチン screams new, foreign and trendy. By using 台所, Mikage assures us she likes any old kitchen — not just the new and fancy ones.

The next passage reveals just how much she likes kitchens: どこのでも、どんなのでも、それが台所であれば食事を作る場所であれば私はつらくない ( Doko no demo, donna no demo, sore ga daidokoro de areba shokuji o tsukuru basho de areba watashi wa tsurakunai , No matter where, no matter what kind, if it’s a kitchen and you can make meals there, I don’t feel [emotionally] pained). つらい ( Tsurai ) means emotionally painful, difficult or cruel, and is used typically used when one is going through hard times. This line also begins to reveal the style Yoshimoto chooses for Mikage: With two symmetrical repetitions (of でも and であれば), Yoshimoto gives the sentence a lyrical, song-like ring to it.

The next line uses a 擬態語 ( gitaigo ), which is an onomatopoeic word that mimics an action, condition or manner. These words, like ぴかぴか ( pika-pika , sparkly and brand new) or しょんぼり ( shonbori , dejectedly/despondently) function similar to adverbs in English, except they lend a vivid sonic punch to the writing — ぴかぴか sounds like sparkles flashing on and off, and しょんぼり sounds like someone is slumping over.

The text goes: できれば機能的でよく使い込んであるといいと思う。乾いた清潔なふきんが何枚もあって白いタイルがぴかぴか輝く ( Dekireba kinō-teki de yoku tsukaikonde aru to ii to omou. Kawaita seiketsuna fukin ga nanmai mo atte shiroi tairu ga pikapika kagayaku , If possible, I think it’s good if it’s well worn-in. With plenty of dry, clean dish towels, and white tiles that sparkle). You can see that Yoshimoto adds more musicality with ぴかぴか輝く ( pika-pika kagayaku ), which has a punchy sort of beat to it with all of the “k” sounds.

Readers of Japanese will pick up on a few features of these first two paragraphs. Firstly and obviously, as seen by 私 ( watashi , I) and と思う ( to omou , I think), the text is written in a first-person voice, taking place inside of the protagonist’s mind. Secondly, Mikage is speaking casually to the reader, using sentence structures that you can easily imagine being said aloud. The lack of commas in the last sentence gives us all of Mikage’s thoughts about kitchens in an excited jumble, as if she can’t wait to tell us all about them.

Skipping ahead a few paragraphs, Mikage reveals some darker thoughts in interesting Japanese: 本当に疲れ果てた時、私はよくうっとりと思う。「いつか死ぬ時がきたら、台所で息絶えたい。」 ( Hontō ni tsukarehateta toki, watashi wa yoku uttori to omou. Itsuka shinu toki ga kitara, daidokoro de ikitaetai , When I’m truly worn out, I often think vaguely. “When the time comes to die, I want to breath my last in a kitchen.”) Vocabulary-wise, うっとり ( uttori ) is another onomatopoeic word that means doing something in an absorbed or absent-minded manner. Then, 息絶える ( ikitaeru ) means to die or breath one’s last, as seen by the kanji 息 ( iki ) for breath and the verb 絶える ( taeru , to cease.)

What’s most important here, however, is the sentence structure. If you just look at the phrase, よくうっとりと思う, it doesn’t make sense on its own — “I often think vaguely” — think what? If Yoshimoto was to make a proper, grammatical sentence about it, she would arrange it like this: 本当に疲れ果てた時、台所で息絶えたい、とうっとり思う ( Hontō ni tsukarehateta toki, daidokoro de ikitaetai, to uttori omou , When I’m truly worn out, I think vaguely that I want to breathe my last in a kitchen). But instead, Yoshimoto splits up the thought into fragments, showing how Mikage is processing her feelings in real time.

This example shows just how important it is, when reading a novel, to not let confusing sentences or parts of a paragraph that you don’t understand slow you down. When there’s plenty of unknown vocabulary, even a slightly confusing sentence fragment like うっとりと思う can throw you off — but if you continue just a little further, the pieces come together. So Yoshimoto gives us a helpful lesson in patience here when reading 小説 in a foreign language.

“キッチン” has plenty of drama, poetry and a dash of romance and adventure, too — it’s well worth reading to the finish, in the original Japanese. Of course, Yoshimoto always brings the story back to the kitchen: 田辺家に拾われる前は、毎日台所で眠っていた... ( Tanabe-ke ni hirowareru mae wa, mainichi daidokoro de nemutte-ita... , Before the Tanabes picked me up, every day I was sleeping in the kitchen...).

Free Online Libraries

“A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life” as said by Henry Ward Beecher, an American Congregationalist. If a library facility is free and accessible everywhere then it is surely a luxury. Since childhood, we have been taught about the benefits of reading. Francis Bacon, an English philosopher terms ‘reading’ as an ornament of a man while Nabokov, a Russian novelist calls it a pleasure to have a book to read before going to bed. For a bibliophile, there is perhaps nothing more life-changing than reading a good book. There are more than 158,464,880 books in the world. Isn’t that a huge number? In this blog, we are going to discuss various free online libraries available for readers across the world.

New Delhi [India], February 18 (ANI): Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH) conducted its extravaganza festival 'BIMTECH Business Literature Festival' on Saturday at India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, with resounding success.

Shiv Shivakumar, emphasized the importance of reading books and said, "A book is our best friend."He further said, "During the COVID-19 pandemic, the average time spent reading books increased from 9 hours per week to 16 hours per week. This surge in reading indicates a latent demand for books, showcasing that people are willing to engage with education. As authors and publishers, we must recognize the potential of the book industry and work together to create high-quality, engaging content that captures the imagination and encourages people to spend more time reading."Shivakumar urged the audience to commit to reading books, emphasizing that doing so not only educates but also makes individuals more interested in the world.

The event was categorised into six intellectually engaging sessions with two panel discussions on topics of significance such as 'Strong women, Strong World' and 'Mind Matters: Nurturing Mental Wellness'. A masterclass was organized on 'Global Leadership through Poetry' with Abhay K. (Diplomat, Poet and DDG, Indian Council for Cultural Relations, New Delhi) which was organized by 'Majlis Club', the debating and theater society of BIMTECH, in collaboration with the UN Global Compact Network India.

Harit Nagpal, CEO of Tata Sky and author of the book "Adapt," underscored the importance of adaptability in a rapidly changing world. Harit Nagpal was in conversation with Harish Bhat, the former brand custodian of Tata Sons. He compared adaptability to the chameleon, a creature known for its ability to change color to blend into its environment, illustrating the need for individuals and organizations to be agile and responsive to the shifting landscape.

He emphasized that in the modern era, the pace of change is accelerating, with each new change occurring faster and being more significant than the last. He mentioned examples such as the COVID-19 pandemic and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) as drivers of rapid change.

The valedictory address was delivered by R. Gopalakrishnan, Ex-Executive Director, of Tata Sons Ltd., Ex-Vice Chairman-Hindustan Lever, and author of 'Inside the Boardroom', who congratulated the BBLF4 team for planning the event meticulously and organizing the insightful interactions.
