Means of Arguments in Bank's Annual Reports
...Show More Authors

In line with the most recent trends in genre analysis (Swales, 1990; Bahatia,
1993) and discourse studies on business communication (Dudley-Evans and St.
John, 1998;Bargiela-Chiappini, F. and C. Nickerson, 1999, the article focuses on a
particular financial genre, Bank's Annual Reports (ARs). More in detail, in contrast
in widespread claim about the purely financial and informative nature of ARs,
addressing experts only, this paper aims at illustrating in accordance with Bexley
and Hynes (2003), and Burrough's (1986) considerations, that those reports
endeavour to promote the company image and to leave a positive impression on
readers. Generally speaking, companies communicate because they exist: they have
a name, headquarters, offices, a logotype, and provide cosumers with products and
services that help people to come closer to the company's reality (Brioschi,
1990:51). However, another type of communication exists, this of argumentation: it
is essential to inform the public about the company's activity, to charge its mind
(Cantoni, Di Blas, 2002) and to it act in a certain way. Thus, argumentation aims at
convincing the counterpart that a thesis should (not) be accepted by using
reasonable arguments that impress the hearer/ reader. More specifically,
argumentation can be found in an extremely important economic and financial text:
the ARs. These are considered comprehensible not only to experts but also the
layman: they develop arguments that are within everyone's reach; they use plain
language and effective stylistic devices in order to be readable, to delight and
convince the public (Mignini, 2005:1).
(Some research so far has been based on the definition as well as the content
analysis of ARs, and on their writing's techniques and strategies, but few had taken
into account their argumentative stylistic features and discursive (in the sense of
other-than-purely-financial) sections.
There has been not much research focusing on argumentation in the economic
and financial world up-to-now; in this paper the researcher examines how
argumentation is carried on in banks ARs, what the most exploited topics are, and
how they are arranged to win the public over. A glance at the textual structure is
given first so as to have an idea about how the readers are introduced into the bank's
world. Then, an analysis of the most common topics and the way they are usually
presented (their argument) is provided: examples are also given in order to clarify
the content. 

The corpus of material gathered for the analysis includes four Bank's ARs. All
the selected ARs are published on the web between 2003 and 2006 by the following
prestigious big banks: Deutsche bank (2003), Bank of England Annual Report
(2004), Raiffeisen Centrobank (2005), and Bank of America (2006).

Studying the Crystal Structure, Topography, and Anti-bacterial of a Novel Titania (TiO2 NPs) Prepared by a Sol-gel Manner
...Show More Authors

In this research, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were prepared through the sol-gel process at an acidic medium (pH3).TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared from titanium trichloride (TiCl3) as a precursor with Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) with 1:3 ratio at 50 °C. The resulting gel was dried at 70 °C to obtain the Nanocrystalline powder. The powder from the drying process was treated thermally at temperatures 500 °C and 700 °C. The crystalline structure, surface morphology, and particle size were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed (anatase) phase of titanium dioxide with the average grain size

Studying the Photodegradation of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solutions Using Bimetallic Au–Pd/TiO2 Photocatalyst
...Show More Authors

In this study, the photodegradation of Congo red dye (CR) in aqueous solution was investigated using Au-Pd/TiO2 as photocatalyst. The concentration of dye, dosage of photocatalyst, amount of H2O2, pH of the medium and temperature were examined to find the optimum values of these parameters. It has been found that 28 ppm was the best dye concentration. The optimum amount of photocatalyst was 0.09 g/75 mL of dye solution when the degradation percent was ~ 96 % after irradiation time of 12 hours, while the best amount of hydrogen peroxide was 7μl/75 mL of dye solution at degradation percent ~97 % after irradiation time of 10 hours, whereas pH 5 was the best value to carry out the reaction at the highest deg

It is the only way through which contact is made between individuals, groups, peoples, and states, and through dialogue, societies get advanced. Dialogue is extremely important in clarifying the true image that resides in the thought of the other side, especially that purposeful scientific dialogue in which the interlocutors are free from fanaticism and extremism.
