The main objective of this study is to find out the publication trend of death attitude-related articles from 2015 to 2024.  The study used the bibliometric analysis method to analyze the data published in Dimensions. Analysis of death attitude publications over the past decade reveals increasing interest, with a peak in 2021 but a decline in 2022 and 2023. Citation analysis shows a steady rise in citations until 2022, followed by a slight decline. The percentage of publications with citations has decreased over the years. Metrics like FCR and RCR indicate fluctuating citation impact. Interdisciplinary research is evident, with dominant categories including \"Human Society,\" \"Health Sciences,\" and \"Law and Legal Studies.\" Leading countries in death attitude research include the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Challenges such as declining citation uptake underscore the need for enhanced dissemination efforts. Death attitude research has seen increasing interest and impact, significant challenges in citation uptake and fluctuating impact highlight the need for strategic improvements in research dissemination and visibility. Addressing these issues is essential to maintain and enhance the field's scholarly influence.","PeriodicalId":259210,"journal":{"name":"Randwick International of Social Science Journal","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141801694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon Martin and White’ s (2005) appraisal theory as the analytical framework, this research conducts frequency statistics and functional discourse analysis on the categories of attitudinal resources in the selected corpus. Employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study aims to identify and investigate the discourse meanings conveyed through attitude resources in the news discourse of “regular press conferences,” revealing the linguistic characteristics of China’ s diplomatic discourse. Furthermore, it seeks to summarize the significance and impact of diplomatic discourse on the construction of national image. The results indicate that the corpus is most rich in judgmental attitude resources, primarily realized through vocabulary, syntax, and rhetorical expressions. This suggests that spokespersons mainly express attitudinal tendencies through factual statements and enhance national discourse power with precise language control, reflecting the objectivity of the discourse and contributing to the audience’ s trust in the information.","PeriodicalId":259210,"journal":{"name":"Randwick International of Social Science Journal","volume":"50 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141799614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants of this research were three classes in Bali International Polytechnic consisting of 30 students. The data was collected through assigning a listening comprehension test and further interviews on Bali International Polytechnic students. The study found only few students who get the score above 80, lacking tuning in comprehension ought to mostly account for the blunders made in these questions, but through the examination, the most reason is the students' trouble in inducing the speaker's verifiable meaning. Most of the students found the difficulties in comprehending the implied meaning or conventional implicatures. There are five difficult aspects of understanding listening test namely conversational implicature knowledge, idiomatic expression, lack of vocabulary, need of concentration, and new accent. Encourage, the part of conversational impersonation in tuning in comprehension of the TOEFL test is exceptionally critical. Grice's conversational implicature can be adjusted to the instructing of tuning in by giving both speakers and understudies with a way of how specific articulation implications are passed on and decoded in particular settings of circumstance. In this way, the discoveries demonstrate that the English learners ought to ace the hypothesis of Grice's Conversational Implicature, learn how to induce implicature to direct their learning and lead in such hypotheses in tuning in comprehension.","PeriodicalId":259210,"journal":{"name":"Randwick International of Social Science Journal","volume":"35 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing statistical methodologies and descriptive statistics sourced from the Statistical Office of Thai Nguyen Province, this study illuminates the dynamic nature of labor productivity within the province. Over this period, there was a consistent fluctuation in productivity levels, reflecting an overall upward trend. Notably, the average productivity growth rate stood at a substantial 12.61%, showcasing the province's evolving economic landscape. Remarkably, 2021 emerged as the year with the most significant productivity surge, juxtaposed against the comparatively sluggish growth witnessed in 2020. Additionally, this investigation firmly establishes labor productivity as a predominant driver of GRDP growth in Thai Nguyen Province, surpassing the influence exerted by capital and labor inputs. These findings underscore the paramount importance of labor productivity as the linchpin of economic progress within the province, signifying its pivotal role in shaping the region's economic trajectory compared to other contributing factors.","PeriodicalId":259210,"journal":{"name":"Randwick International of Social Science Journal","volume":"740 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140479363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the findings on impulse buying tendencies and personality traits are inconclusive, as they show the expected positive signs but do not have a statistically significant impact. This means that while these factors may have a theoretical impact on impulse buying, their practical significance in this specific context remains uncertain.
