The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition
"Digital Archeology"
With a large exhibition, including works from his most
famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in
the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to
31.
For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale
performance in the city where he was born.
The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.
The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital
Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series
of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic,
Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues
and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:
Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology
reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the
posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting
technology and our uncertain future and insight into the
way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "
Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years
of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas
for unity between art, architecture, design and
technology. He studied art at the National Academy of
Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the
Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.
He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988),
EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich
(1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery,
Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries
in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the
National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov

Brazil floods: 'I saw people trapped in their
homes crying for help'
Heavy rains in the Brazilian state of Minas
Gerais have caused severe flooding and
landslides, leaving at least 32 people dead. The
cities most affected are Juiz de Fora and Ubá.
In Juiz de Fora, twelve homes were swept away
by a mudslide. In Ubá, a river burst its banks and
flooded several streets. Rescue teams have been
searching for at least 38 people who remain
missing, while shelters have been set up for
thousands of residents who were left homeless.
Meteorologists reported that the amount of rain
that fell in the region during the month was
already double the average normally expected for
February, and additional rainfall was forecast for
the following days.
A resident of Ubá, Lucas Gandra, told BBC
Brasil that he received the first flood warning
early on Tuesday, when a friend called to inform
him that the local river was about to overflow.
According to him, the situation worsened very
quickly.
“At 00:07 the water was overflowing and by
00:20 it was already causing enormous damage.
The water rose very quickly,” he said.
The city, located about 300 kilometers north of
Rio de Janeiro, had previously experienced
flooding in 2019 and 2020, but residents reported
that the current disaster was far more destructive.
Lucas Gandra also described dramatic scenes
during the flooding, recalling that many residents
were trapped in their homes and calling for help.
More than 200 people were rescued by
emergency teams, although some of those who
died had reportedly attempted to help others
during the disaster.
Another resident of Ubá, Carolina Magalhães,
described the situation as “horrific.” She reported
seeing floodwaters carrying debris through the streets, including household items, motorcycles,
and gas cylinders.

Interpreting complex academic texts requires identifying
"hedging" devices used by authors to soften claims and
maintain professional scientific neutrality. Regarding the
pragmatic function of epistemic modality in research
papers, mark T for True or F for False:
(__) The use of modal verbs like "could" or "might" serves to indicate the tentative nature of a conclusion rather than a lack of knowledge.
(__) Authors employ hedging to protect their professional reputation by anticipating possible opposition to their theoretical interpretations.
(__) The presence of adverbs such as "presumably" or "likely" indicates a direct observation of facts considered indisputable by the community.
(__) Scientific writing avoids modal distance to ensure that all presented data is perceived as an absolute truth by the reader.

The challenges of learning English skills and the integration of social media and video conferencing tools to help ESL learners coping with the challenges during COVID-19 pandemic: a literature review
Yong Hua Ying, Winson Eng Wei Siang, Maslawati Mohamad
Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the abrupt closures of all learning institutions have caused English as a Second Language (ESL) learners to have significant difficulties learning the English language especially for speaking skills. Speaking is one of the most important skills to learn because it is the primary mode of communication around the world. However, the majority of ESLlearners are still trying to improve their English speaking abilities. Since the implementation of the COVID-19 lockdowns, e-learning has been a well-known solution all over the world. Learners and educators need more time to adjust to online teaching and learning because most of them are exploring new technical innovations and strategies to be used in the classroom. As a result, this study includes a literature review on the challenges ESL learners encounter in learning speaking skills, as well as the use of social media and video conferencing tools to teach speaking skills. Lack of motivation and self-confidence, fear, hesitation, and limited vocabulary are some of the challenges faced by ESL learners. Hence, it is vital to determine the technology intervention used in teaching and developing speaking skills among these learners based on previous study. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the interventions in teaching speaking skills included utilizing social media and video conferencing applications like Facebook, WhatsApp, and others for online teaching and learning. Educators of ESLmight then pick the ones that would work best in their particular classroom.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
(1º§) The Real Estate Developers' Association of
Singapore (REDAS) will encourage its members to pay
out safety bonuses to incentivise contractors with good
Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) performance. These
will be given out at specific project milestones, to promote
safer work practices. "This would be a strong carrot in
aligning contractors' business interests with good WSH
practices," said Senior Minister of State for Manpower
Zaqy Mohamad on Thursday (Aug 25).
(2º§) He added that developers have "tremendous
influence" as service buyers to raise safety standards
and reward contractors for good safety performance. Mr
Zaqy also announced other measures to improve
workplace safety at the REDAS Safety Leadership Forum
held at the Fullerton Hotel.
(3º§) There have been 34 workplace deaths to date this
year. Construction workplace deaths have been trending
up after COVID-19 work stoppages, and of the fatalities
this year, 12 cases or almost 40 per cent were from the
construction industry.
(4º§) The number of major injuries this year is "similarly
worrying", said Mr Zaqy. Despite an overall drop over the
last decade, the construction industry recorded 84 major
injuries so far in the first half of 2022. This would be the
worst performance since 2014 if the figure is annualised
to the whole of 2022, which the senior minister of state
called "disheartening and unacceptable".
(5º§) Giving the opening address at the forum, Mr Zaqy
noted that the inculcation of a safety culture must start
with top management, and that property developers sit at
the "very top of the construction sector". "As developers,
you are in the best position to take safety leadership
because you set WSH standards through your contract
specifications when selecting contractors," he said.
(6º§) "You determine the pace of work, and you are also
in a position to reward safe behaviour and penalise poor
ones." President of REDAS Chia Ngiang Hong said that
leadership styles are moving from a top-down
hierarchical approach to being more collaborative.
"Today's construction and infrastructure projects are
increasingly complex and larger in scale, which place
even greater importance on safety at worksites through
collaborative leadership," he said.
(7º§) He added that collaborative leadership is even more
important in times where there is a manpower crunch
amid construction backlogs, cost escalation, supply chain
issues and financial challenges. Giving a rundown of
MOM's enhanced measures to address the recent spate
of accidents, Mr Zaqy said that the ministry has stepped
up enforcement and doubled fines for WSH
infringements.
(8º§) He said that workers need to feel empowered to
raise safety issues they see on the ground, so
signboards at construction sites will show a QR code linking to MOM, together with its safety hotline. "They
should raise red flags to their supervisors, but if the
supervisors do not listen, they need to know how they
can report to MOM," he said. The ministry has also
revised the WSH Guidelines for Design for Safety, and
provided detailed checklists for the reference of
developers and contractors. This way, they can
incorporate safety in the planning and design phase of
projects, said Mr Zaqy.
(9º§) He also highlighted that companies need to be
self-motivated to be safe and this often depends on the
culture and processes set by top management. To
encourage that, MOM is finalising the Code of Practice
(COP) on Chief Executives' and Board of Directors' WSH
Duties and The draft COP is available for public
consultation.
(10º§) The COP will spell out WSH responsibilities for
management and boards, and the courts may consider
the COP when assessing the culpability of company
leaders and its board, when an accident occurs. "Some
specific ways to set and demand high WSH standards
are: To take vendors' and contractors' WSH performance
into account when choosing them; to disqualify unsafe
companies from being awarded your contracts; and to
reward vendors and contractors with good WSH
performance," he said.
(11º§) The safety bonus would be one way to reward the
companies with good practices. "Here, I would like to
commend the REDAS members that already have this
good practice," said Mr Zaqy. "For example, Keppel Land
and City Developments Limited, who have both
introduced incentive schemes for good WSH
performance for all their projects. "I look forward to more
REDAS members demonstrating such strong safety
leadership."
(12º§) Mr Zaqy noted that some REDAS members are
also using technology to improve safety standards. Ms
Tay Seok Cheng, head of projects at 1 CDL, said that the
developer has paid out rewards for more than 20 years to
main contractors who achieve sterling safety results.
Contractors who ace their safety assessments for the
entire year can get a sum of S$30,000. Ms Tay said that
this incentive has worked well for CDL and motivates
their subcontractors and workers to be safe. "It's about
whether you believe safety is really important. I think
human life should not be neglected; everybody should do
their part on that," said Ms Tay.
(13º§) Developers can also use the enhanced e-service
CheckSAFE to find out more about a company's safety
record when appointing vendors. "Taking CheckSafe
records into account when selecting contractors will
create a virtuous cycle where main contractors will
equate safety performance with business opportunities
and result in them managing your sites and choosing
their sub-contractors with safety in mind," he said. "In the
end, developers benefit from stronger safety
performance, lower risk of work stoppage due to
accidents, and certainly a better reputation."
(14º§) Singapore as a whole has a good reputation for safety, but standards have slipped recently due to
COVID-19, said Mr Zaqy. "This is something we need to
review ... we've made a lot of improvements, so let's
continue and let's keep up Singapore as one of the safest
countries to work for".
