The aim of this article is description of weeding’s invitations composition, including obligatory and optional components. The obligatory components are information about the sender, recipient, planning occasion – purpose of invitation (wedding and reception after wedding), its term (date and an hour) and location, contact details (mostly the groom and the bride phone numbers) and a request for confirmation of arrival. The optional components in composition of analyzed type of text are information about presents, which the engaged couple wish to get (for example money, alcohol and sweets, coupon lotto) and additional invitation (e.g. the second reception after wedding named poprawiny). The author also shows a composition’s transformations. At 19th century the integral component of wedding’s invitation’s structure was a description of feast, which awaited the guests. Currently there aren’t this type information in wedding’s invitation, but more often appears in invitations information about gifts, which the bride and the groom would like to receive. Moreover the author complements the article by showing the similarities between Polish and English wedding’s invitations.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTPeople sometimes extend invitations they don't intend to be taken seriously. We call these ostensible invitations. From a collection of spontaneous examples, we argue that they require: a pretense of sincerity by the speaker; mutual recognition of the pretense by speaker and addressee; collusion on the pretense by the addressee; ambivalence by the speaker about its acceptance; and an off-record purpose by the speaker. We describe seven techniques speakers use in fulfilling these requirements. We also show that speakers try to achieve their off-record purpose by getting addressees to recognize the expectable effects of the invitation, the situation, and the fact that they chose to extend an ostensible invitation. Finally, we argue that ostensible invitations are part of a class of ostensible speech acts, and these in turn are related to other types of nonserious language use. (Speech acts, pragmatics, off record, pretense, nonserious language use)

Full textAbstract:
In the Malay culture, a wedding invitation is regarded as one of the most essential parts of the nuptials. It does not only convey good news but also requests the presence of all relatives, friends and social acquaintances to gather at a certain place and time for solemnization and reception ceremonies. A wealth of research on patterns of wedding invitations has been conducted among various societies throughout the world. However, not much genre-analysis research relating to wedding invitations among the Malays can be found. Hence, the present preliminary study was conducted to explore various patterns of Malay written wedding invitations. Adopting the genre analysis model proposed by Swales, 60 samples of the Malay wedding invitation cards were analyzed in terms of move orders, obligatory and optional moves. The cards were randomly selected from a collection of invitations from 2015 to 2019. This study revealed that the Malays frequently employed seven generic moves in their written wedding invitations.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Predatory publishing is a poorly studied emerging threat to scientists. Junior researchers are preferred targets as they are under academic pressure to publish but face high rejection rates by many medical journals. Methods: All electronic invitations received from predatory publishers and fraudulent conferences were collected over a 6-month period (28th April to 27th October 2016) following the first publication of a junior researcher as a corresponding author. Beall’s list was used to identify predatory publishers and James McCrostie’s criteria to assess if a conference should be considered as predatory. The content of electronic invitations was analyzed and is presented with descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 162 electronic invitations were received during the study period. Seventy-nine were invitations to submit a manuscript. Few invitations disclosed information related to publication fees (9, 11.4%) or mentioned any publication guidelines (21, 26.6%). Most invitations reported accepting all types of manuscripts (73, 92.4%) or emphasized on a deadline to submit (62, 78.4%). These invitations came from 22 different publishers lead by OMICS with 27 invitations (34.2%). Seventy-two invitations to be a speaker (55, 73.4%) or attend (17, 23.6%) a predatory conference were received. These conferences were held most frequently in the USA (25, 34.7%), United Kingdom (15, 20.8%) or United Arab Emirates (8, 11.1%) with only eight mentioning registration fees (11.1%). Forty-one conferences (57.0%) were unrelated to the author’s affiliations or research interests. Finally, five invitations to be a journal’s guest editor, five invitations to become a member of a journal editorial board and one invitation to contribute to the creation of a new journal were received. Conclusion: Young researchers are frequently exposed to predatory publishers and fraudulent conferences. An electronic invitation was received almost daily following the first publication as a corresponding author. Academic institutions worldwide need to acknowledge and educate young researchers of this emerging problem.

Full textAbstract:
Wedding invitations have been using the conventional way, with paper. Costs are not cheap, invitation printing takes a long time, and environmental issues in the use of paper. Wedding invitations no longer use paper media. Wedding invitations with user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designs provide a new experience. UI/UX design is an important stage because it gives an initial impression to potential users. The design of digital wedding invitations uses a design thinking method approach which is consists of several stages, namely empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and testing. Empathize process using questionnaires and interviews. Respondents to the questionnaire were 92 people with an age range of 25 to 35 years and had a middle to upper economic level.Apart from being well educated, the respondents are active internet users. The results showed that respondents preferred the simple modern invitation design style. In the define process, users need several digital wedding invitation templates with international and traditional nuances. It is designed to be interactive, user friendly, and has features that can be customized. Furthermore, the ideation process is carried out based on the analysis of the define process, namely the design of mobile website templates for digital wedding invitations. Bride and groom are made easy with several template choices. The prototype process is carried out by getting the initial design, then testing it and doing it iteratively to get feedback from the bride and groom in order to get the digital wedding invitations that the bride and groom need.

Full textAbstract:
The current study investigated the speech act of ostensible invitations in Saudi Arabic from a sociopragmatic perspective. It was conducted to examine whether Saudi Arabic speakers draw on the same strategies stipulated by Clark and Isaacs (1990) for extending ostensible invitations. Additionally, the study aimed at investigating whether there are Saudi-specific strategies for extending ostensible invitations. To this end, the study examined 37 recalled instances of ostensible invitations provided by Saudi Arabic speakers in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The corpus of the study was compiled through face-to-face and written interviews with 37 informants aged between 18 to 60. The collected data was analyzed on the basis of Clark and Isaacs’s seven strategies for establishing ostensible invitations. Results showed that Saudi Arabic speakers utilize the seven strategies proposed by Clark and Isaacs for extending ostensible invitations, yet with relative weight. The most frequently used strategies by Saudi Arabic speakers to issue ostensible invitations in the collected exchanges were the absence of persistence, which was detected in (86%) of the exchanges, and the absence of motivating the invitee, which was used in (73%) of the collected ostensible invitations. Those were followed in order of frequency by vague arrangements (59%), implausibility (49%), inappropriate cues (19%), solicitation (14%), and hedging (5%). In addition to Clark and Isaacs’s proposed strategies, the study found that three more strategies are employed by Saudi Arabic speakers to highlight the ostensibility of their invitations which are: using intensifying and empty swearing devices (e.g., d̪ˁaroori, laazem, wallah, etc.) (27%), extending the invitation in the form of a question (5%), and asking someone else to extend the invitation on behalf of the inviter (5%), the last of which seems to be peculiar to Saudi Arabic speakers.

Abstract - Invitations are important when someone is about to hold a party program. Before information technology existed, invitations were printed and then distributed. However, in the digital era, many have abandoned printed invitations and switched to digital invitations, this is because digital invitations are more cost-effective and more effective. Bachartiar Wedding Invitations is one of the MSMEs that has been left behind by the digital era because they still rely on printed invitations and have not yet switched to digital invitations. These UMKM do not yet have an application that can make it easier for them to design or create a digital invitation. This study aims to design and develop an Android-based digital invitation application with an additional QR Code feature to mark guests who have attended or not. This application can also allow clients to design their digital invitations according to their wishes using the features that have been provided. The method used is the Mobile-D software development method where this method is very suitable for developing Android Applications. The results of this study are an android-based application that helps people to make digital invitations.Keywords – Digital Invitation, QR Code, Mobile-D Method, Android Application.

AbstractThe Wedding Invitation is one of the significant text genres. Following genre analysis approach and discourse analysis (DA), the present research analysed the wedding invitation genres in Pakistan to explore generic structures, as well as the role played by the broader socio-cultural norms and values in shaping this genre. Therefore, a corpus of 50 wedding invitations in Urdu and English was randomly selected from cards received from January to June 2018. The results of this genre analysis revealed seven obligatory and one optional move in Urdu, while six obligatory and one optional move in English invitations. Through discourse analysis, it has been uncovered how religious association and cultural influence in Pakistani society shape textual selection. Little variation was displayed in the invitations of the two languages, presumably due to regional cultural reflections and recent influence of western values. A comparison of Pakistani and UK invitations showed differences not only in move selection but also in lexical choices which are shaped by the respective cultures.

Hasna Invitation is a small business engaged in making physical wedding invitations or e-invitations and banners. Not only wedding invitations in Hasna Invitation, but children's toys in the form of puzzles. In meeting the needs of office stationery, Hasna Invitation is still not computerized so that each process is still not effective and efficient and data storage is also not well coordinated. From the description of the problems that occur, it is designed and built an Information System for Procurement of Office Stationery Needs which is expected to solve existing problems. For analysis and design methods used Unified Modeling Language (UML) and System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Full textAbstract:
An ongoing challenge for forensic interviewers is to maximize their use of invitations, such as requests that the child “tell me more about” details mentioned by the child. Examining 434 interviews with 4- to 12-year-old children questioned about abuse, this study analyzed (1) faux invitations, in which interviewers prefaced questions with “tell me” but then asked a noninvitation, (2) negative recasts, in which interviewers started to ask an invitation but then recast the question as a wh- or option-posing question, and (3) other aspects of questions that may relate to productivity independent of their status as invitations. About one fourth of “tell me” questions were faux invitations, and over 80% of recasts were negative. The frequency of both faux invitations and negative recasts increased during the substantive phase of the interviews, and these were related to decreased productivity, increased nonresponsiveness, and increased uncertainty. In contrast, use of exhaustive terms (e.g., “tell me everything”) and nonstatic questions (e.g., about actions) was related to increased productivity. The results suggest that training should teach interviewers when and how strategic use of invitations and other question types can elicit specific types of forensically relevant information.

Purpose of the studyThis study aims to describe all unsolicited electronic invitations received from potential predatory publishers or fraudulent conferences over a 12-month period following the first publication as a corresponding author of a junior academician.Study designUnsolicited invitations received at an institutional email address and perceived to be sent by predatory publishers or fraudulent conferences were collected.ResultsA total of 502 invitations were included of which 177 (35.3%) had subject matter relevant to the recipient’s research interests and previous work. Two hundred and thirty-seven were invitations to publish a manuscript. Few disclosed the publication fees (32, 13.5%) but they frequently reported accepting all types of manuscripts (167, 70.5%) or emphasised on a deadline to submit (165, 69.6%). Invitations came from 39 publishers (range 1 to 87 invitations per publisher). Two hundred and ten invitations from a potential fraudulent conference were received. These meetings were held in Europe (97, 46.2%), North America (65, 31.0%), Asia (20.4%) or other continents (5, 2.4%) and came from 18 meeting organisation groups (range 1 to 137 invitations per organisation). Becoming an editorial board member (30), the editor-in-chief (1), a guest editor for journal special issue (6) and write a book chapter (11) were some of the roles offered in the other invitations included while no invitation to review a manuscript was received.ConclusionsYoung researchers are commonly exposed to predatory publishers and fraudulent conferences following a single publication as a corresponding author. Academic institutions worldwide need to educate and inform young researchers of this emerging problem.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study is to investigate the invitation-issuing strategies of Najdi Arabic speakers within the frameworks of speech act theory and politeness principles, highlighting the socio-pragmatic parameters of gender, social distance, and the in/formality of the speech event affecting strategy selection and modes of delivery. The data corpus consists of 112 instances of Najdi Arabic invitations extracted from informants’ WhatsApp instant messaging and extended on formal and less formal occasions. Major findings indicate that the in/formality of the invitational situation predicts the way in which invitations are extended either textually or digitally, regardless of social distance and gender. As for gender, males use blessings, performatives, and mood derivable most frequently regardless of the in/formality of the occasion. Females use performatives for formal occasions, whereas they employ want statements and suggestory formulas for less formal situations. The results indicate that indirectness is not universally equated with politeness because Najdi Arabic speakers reveal a tendency toward directness and imposition to convey interest in and affiliation with the invitee.

Full textAbstract:
Due to methodological and theoretical variety in approaches as well as in contingences while investigating invitation speech acts, the findings concerning their pragmatic characteristics have turned out to be different. This paper is an attempt to determine sociocultural features, pragmatic implications and representation
in the dialogue corpus of various types of invitations in Russian culture using contextual interpretation and pragmalinguistic analysis The findings demonstrate a frequent usage of addressee-oriented declaratives, followed by imperatives, questions and addresser-oriented declaratives with the meaning of a command. All these invitations are in fact direct obligatory impositives.
However, within the context of Russian culture they reveal the use of positive politeness strategies. The speech act of invitation cannot function on its own – it is semantically
and pragmatically connected to pre-invitation sequence, which makes it a complex speech act. The benefactive status of the addresser is enhanced due to the obligatory nature of the invitation which also ensures the speaker’s confidence about the successful outcome of the interaction, therefore there is no need for the inviter to resort to indirectness and negative politeness strategies. There are cases of self-invitations where an invitee takes the initiative, hereas an inviter has to perform a speech act with a weakened illocutionary force.

Full textAbstract:
Learning invitations are strategies that encourage learners to engage with education. Learning invitations take many different forms but the aim is to create these invitations intentionally and systematically. This might be easier if there were some guidance to different styles of learning invitations. The Dharmic typology proposed builds upon ideas from Sāṃkhya—Yoga, particularly the notion of the three qualities of life (Triguṇa), which together are thought to construct everything much as pixels of three primary (RGB) colors create every photograph. Sattva is light, peace, harmony; it evokes a reflective, ethical, and holistic approach and learning invitations based on emulation and spiritual self-realization. Tamas is heavy, veiled and obstructive; it evokes feelings of inertia, lethargy and fearfulness and learning invitations based on disgust, repulsion and the wish for reform. Sattva and Tamas are static but the third quality, Rajas, burns with the fire of action. Rajas is desire, movement, change and energy; it evokes personal passions, material desires, emotion, excitement, ambition, anger and greed and its learning invitations invite change, often using personal gain as their lure. Three Rajasic invitational styles are discussed; those where action (Rajas) itself is the goal, where goodness (Sattva) is the goal, and where the domination of others is the goal (Tamas).

Full textAbstract:
Printed wedding invitations have been one of the most crucial aspects in the social organization among many countries like Brunei Darussalam, Iran, Egypt, and Persia. Javanese people also pay special attention to this social document as it represents social class, social status, prestige, and fnancial support allocated by the host. Evolution of printed Javanese wedding invitations represent social and economic pressures. The diasporic communities who were absent to earn a living brought a noticeable change by setting up the bride’s parents’ photographs in the invitations. 15 invitation texts were selected ranging from 1980 – 2017 used in Tawangmangu, Wonogiri and Sukoharjo, the eastern part of Central Java, Indonesia. There was a consistent regularity in terms of rhetorical structure. Functionally, the invitations have the same role of inviting prospective guests to share happiness in a more family-bound relationship. Inclusion of parents’ photographs, map of the location, pre-wedding photos, wise words, calendar, the profle of the couple were indicators of transformation taking place. Later, the printing decision of the invitations is pretty much customer-driven informed by the customers’ needs, values, and beliefs. Rhetorically the materialistically-driven social phenomenon was shown by an explicit gifts desired.

Invitations are social activities that usually occur among individuals (and particularly among friends) in everyday life, utilized to keep rapport, increase social solidarity, and maintain good relationships. However, people use various types of pragmatic and linguistic strategies to yield invitations. Thus, this paper aims to detect Iraqi University students’ ability to use the illocutionary act of invitation. Fifty Iraqi EFL 4th year students of the University of Misan have been administered to a production text. Responses to the test have been collected and analyzed. The paper concludes that those students mostly do not have the ability to produce utterances of invitation, and they encounter difficulty when producing them. In addition, they show a high preference to use modality, imperatives and interrogatives in most situations. Most of their utterances concerning invitation are translations of Iraqi utterances used in everyday Iraqi spoken situations.

Personal invitations for fecal occult blood tests (nowadays mostly fecal immunochemical tests) are increasingly used to raise their usage for colorectal cancer screening. However, there is a large heterogeneity in applied invitation schemes. We aimed to review evidence for the effectiveness of various invitation schemes. The main outcome was the fecal occult blood test usage rate. A systematic search was performed in Medline and Web of Science (up to 9 July 2020). Randomized controlled trials or cluster-randomized controlled trials were eligible, which reported on general invitations for fecal occult blood test-based colorectal cancer screening sent to the general population at average colorectal cancer risk. (PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020169409). Overall, 34 studies were included. Invitations with an attached, i.e., mailed fecal occult blood test consistently increased test usage by 4–19.7% points, compared to other methods of test provision. Likewise, the introduction of advance notification consistently led to a higher usage rate, with an increase of 3.3–10.8% points. Reminders showed positive but varying effects by method. With an increase of 8.5–15.8% points, letter or email reminders were more effective than reminders by phone call or text message (0.6–6.5% points). Inconsistent results were found for financial incentives ((−8.4)–20% points) and for added or changed invitation material ((−3.5)–11.8% points). With 3.5–24.7% points, the strongest increases in use were achieved by multifaceted invitation, implementing multiple components. Any invitation scheme was superior over no invitation. Advance notification, mailing of fecal occult blood test, and reminders were consistently shown to have major, complementary potential to increase participation in fecal occult blood test-based colorectal cancer screening settings.

Full textAbstract:
Background Japan has conducted a nationwide annual health check-up program since 2008, focusing on metabolic syndrome and subsequent health guidance in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease. However, the adherence rate to health guidance invitations was assumed to be low in previous reports. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize adherence patterns in the program and identify major predictors of adherence to health guidance invitations. Methods We studied 186,316 adults (aged 40–74 years) who were included in a nationwide employer-sponsored insurer’s database in Japan at the beginning of the fiscal year 2017. We first described adherence to health check-ups, the proportion of individuals with high cardiovascular risk, and adherence to health guidance invitations. Predictors of adherence to the invitation were then identified among eligible high-risk individuals. Results In 2017, 71.7% of the study population (n = 133,573) underwent health check-ups, among whom 23.2% (n = 30,979) were invited for health guidance because of their high cardiovascular risk. Among those individuals, 35.2% (n = 10,614) received health guidance. Predictors of improved adherence to health guidance invitation were older age, more concerning blood pressure or laboratory data results, and self-reported motivation for a lifestyle change. Conclusion Though 70% of eligible adults attended Japan’s annual cardiovascular risk check-ups, only 35% of individuals with high cardiovascular risk adhered to health guidance invitations. Future policy reforms to improve adherence to this program should target younger individuals and those with mild stages of hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia.

Full textAbstract:
Why do some individuals accept invitations to participate in protest events while others do not? Using the Citizen Participation Study, the author finds that targets invited by recruiters to whom they are strongly tied are more likely to protest than those invited by weak or absent ties. Such effect, however, is hypothesized to vary across the socioeconomic structure. Although strong ties motivate targets to accept the invitation, only those with sufficient resources could translate motivation into action. Consistent with this hypothesis, while strong ties roughly duplicate the chances of accepting a protest invitation when received by high socioeconomic status (SES) targets, the effectiveness of invitations disappears among low SES targets. This suggests that research about the effects of social networks on protest participation should consider how these networks are embedded in larger socioeconomic structures.

Abstract This paper offers the framework of an agonistic politics of invitation to nuance the political implications of contextually- and temporally-specific cultural policy invites that bring to light a range of conflicts. Invitations are conceptualized with respect to their rationale, form, role expectations, and responses in three empirical vignettes: (1) the collectivized articulation of Berlin’s trans-disciplinary Koalition der Freien Szene as future invitee in local cultural governance; (2) the counter-invitation formulated by New York City’s People’s Cultural Plan to tackle ongoing racial inequities in the municipal Cultural Plan; and (3) uninvited graffiti responses to Vancouver’s Chinatown public art call to reconcile century-long discrimination against Chinese Canadians. The paper argues that invitations crucially shape and condition future spaces of possibilities for collaborative urban cultural governance.

Full textAbstract:
Recent years have witnessed the phenomenal success of a new form of social e-commerce platforms, which transforms users into agents by motivating them with monetary rewards to promote products and invite new agents through their social network. Despite their rapid growth, there is still inadequate evidence on how such agent invitation works. This research examines what factors affect the agent invitation process. We first conduct a qualitative user study, where we identify four potential mechanisms related to the agent invitation: social conformity, social enrichment, refusal avoidance, and benefit-cost trade-off. Leveraging the empirical data collected from one of the largest social e-commerce platforms in China - Beidian, we operationalize a set of behavioral indicators of these mechanisms and further develop machine learning models to predict users' reactions to invitations. We found that the identified four mechanisms contribute to the high success rate of agent invitations differently. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings and their potential benefits to real-world applications.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to compare the persuasive strategies used by English and Chinese letters of invitation to trade fairs, from a sociocognitive perspective mainly based on genre study (Swales, 1990) and schema theory (Rumelhart, 1980). Cross-cultural persuasive strategies involving ethos, logos, and pathos are compared in a top-down process. In this approach, a corpus of forty letters of invitation (twenty in Chinese and twenty in English) was examined. It was found that although the English and Chinese letters share the ultimate goal of inviting the reader to the trade fair, they exhibit di¬erent preferences as to whether they appeal to emotion or to logic. The English invitations were found to appeal strongly to logic. The Chinese invitations, by contrast, tended to emphasize an appeal both to logic and to the emotions; the latter is characterized by a formal and respectful register.

Full textAbstract:
In this study we aimed to systematically analyze problems in the recruitment of women with low health literacy for preconception counseling and to adapt and evaluate written invitations for this group. In a problem analysis (stage 1) we used structured interviews (n = 72) to assess comprehension of the initial invitations, perception of perinatal risks, attitude and intention to participate in preconception counseling. These outcomes were used to adapt the invitation. The adapted flyer was pretested in interviews (n = 16) (stage 2) and evaluated in structured interviews among a new group of women (n = 67) (stage 3). Differences between women in stages 1 and 3 regarding comprehension, risk perception, attitude and intention to participate in counseling were analyzed by linear regression analysis and chi-square tests. Women in stage 3 (who read the adapted flyer) had a more positive attitude towards participation in preconception counselling and a better understanding of how to apply for a consultation than women in stage 1 (who read the initial invitations). No differences were found in intention to participate in preconception counseling and risk perception. Systematic adaptation of written invitations can improve the recruitment of low health-literate women for preconception counselling. Further research should gain insight into additional strategies to reach and inform this group.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s survey climate, many individuals doubt the legitimacy of survey invitations. Phishing, an Internet-based fraud that tricks users into disclosing private information, has the potential to further erode the perceived legitimacy of e-mailed survey invitations and harm cooperation. However, no study has tested the effect of phishing on response rates. This article reports on a natural experiment examining phishing’s effect on survey response. University faculty and staff received an invitation to participate in an annual web survey on satisfaction with information technology (IT) services followed by a request to participate in a second “survey” ostensibly sent by another university department. However, the second survey invitation was a simulated phishing attack sent by the IT department. Analysis of response rates and the timing of responses from each of the last five years of the legitimate survey suggests that the phishing simulation dramatically reduced response compared to predictions based on previous years.

Full textAbstract:
Background Healthy NYC is an innovative survey panel created by the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) that offers a cost-effective mechanism for collecting priority and timely health information. Between November 2020 and June 2021, invitations for six different surveys were sent to Healthy NYC panelists by postal mail, email, and text messages. Panelists had the option to complete surveys online or via paper survey. Methods We analyzed whether panelists varied by sociodemographic characteristics based on the contact mode they provided and the type of invitation that led to their response using logistic regression models. Poisson regression models were used to determine whether the number of invitations received before participating in a survey was associated with sociodemographic characteristics. Results Younger age and higher education were positively associated with providing an email or text contact. Furthermore, age, race, and income were significant predictors for invitation modes that led to a survey response. Black panelists had 72% greater odds (OR 1.72 95% CI: 1.11–2.68) of responding to a mail invite and 33% lesser odds (OR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.54–0.83) of responding to an email invite compared with White panelists. Additionally, in five of the six surveys, more than half of the respondents completed surveys after two invites. Email invitations garnered the highest participation rates. Conclusions We recommend using targeted invitation modes as an additional strategy to improve participation in panels. For lower-income panelists who do not provide an email address, it may be reasonable to offer additional response options that do not require internet access. Our study’s findings provide insight into how panels can tailor outreach to panelists, especially among underrepresented groups, in the most economical and efficient ways.

This study discusses the business opportunities of the creative sector assessing the many needs of the community for invitation making services and accompanying equipment in a solemn event in the form of a wedding. This paper examines how human creativity is one of the causes of the creation of a business opportunity. In fact, creativity itself can create a business. In the face of a situation that requires humans to be able to meet their needs, human creativity by looking at the available business opportunities, in our discussion we see from business opportunities that creative idea services are needed to create a good impression through wedding invitations and bridal dowries in weddings. From the analysis described, this type of invitation and dowry service business will not be extinct by time, a promising type of business because every wedding requires invitations and dowries. This business requires promotion which can be done in several ways such as participating in Wedding exhibitions or utilising social media to increase revenue and to be better known by the public.

Full textAbstract:
Background Many research studies fail to enroll enough research participants. Patient-facing electronic health record applications, known as patient portals, may be used to send research invitations to eligible patients. Objective The first aim was to determine if receipt of a patient portal research recruitment invitation was associated with enrollment in a large ongoing study of newborns (Early Check). The second aim was to determine if there were differences in opening the patient portal research recruitment invitation and study enrollment by race and ethnicity, age, or rural/urban home address. Methods We used a computable phenotype and queried the health care system’s clinical data warehouse to identify women whose newborns would likely be eligible. Research recruitment invitations were sent through the women’s patient portals. We conducted logistic regressions to test whether women enrolled their newborns after receipt of a patient portal invitation and whether there were differences by race and ethnicity, age, and rural/urban home address. Results Research recruitment invitations were sent to 4510 women not yet enrolled through their patient portals between November 22, 2019, through March 5, 2020. Among women who received a patient portal invitation, 3.6% (161/4510) enrolled their newborns within 27 days. The odds of enrolling among women who opened the invitation was nearly 9 times the odds of enrolling among women who did not open their invitation (SE 3.24, OR 8.86, 95% CI 4.33-18.13; P<.001). On average, it took 3.92 days for women to enroll their newborn in the study, with 64% (97/161) enrolling their newborn within 1 day of opening the invitation. There were disparities by race and urbanicity in enrollment in the study after receipt of a patient portal research invitation but not by age. Black women were less likely to enroll their newborns than White women (SE 0.09, OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.16-0.55; P<.001), and women in urban zip codes were more likely to enroll their newborns than women in rural zip codes (SE 0.97, OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.62-5.67; P=.001). Black women (SE 0.05, OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.57-0.78; P<.001) and Hispanic women (SE 0.07, OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.60-0.89; P=.002) were less likely to open the research invitation compared to White women. Conclusions Patient portals are an effective way to recruit participants for research studies, but there are substantial racial and ethnic disparities and disparities by urban/rural status in the use of patient portals, the opening of a patient portal invitation, and enrollment in the study.

Invitational theory presents the concept of invitations as related to five factors: people, places, policies, programs, and processes (Purkey & Schmidt, 1990). In this article, I propose the addition of a sixth "P," politics. The assumption is that without addressing the political aspect of schools and school systems, success of the invitational model with the other five dimensions is undermined or negated at best.

Full textAbstract:
Background Preventive primary care programs that aim to reduce morbidity and mortality from lifestyle-related diseases are often affected by low-to-moderate participation rates. Improving participation rates is essential for clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In 2016-2017, we conducted a pilot study (TOF pilot1) for a preventive primary care intervention (TOF is the Danish abbreviation for “Early Detection and Prevention”). Among 8814 invited patients, 3545 (40.22%) consented to participate, with the highest participation rates among women and patients with higher income, education, and employment. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a revised invitation strategy on invitation comprehensibility, the overall participation rate, and participant demography. The new strategy specifically targeted men and patients of low educational attainment. Methods This study was embedded in the second TOF pilot study (TOF pilot2, initiated in October 2018) that tested an adjusted intervention. The revised invitation strategy comprised a prenotification postcard and a new invitation that specifically targeted men and patients of low educational attainment. The new invitation was developed in a co-design process that included communication professionals and target-group representatives. The study sample consisted of 4633 patients aged between 29 and 59 years, who resided in one of two municipalities in the Region of Southern Denmark. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to one of four invitation groups. The control group (Group 1) received the original invitation used in TOF pilot1. The intervention groups received the original invitation and the prenotification postcard (Group 2), the new revised invitation and the prenotification postcard (Group 3), or the new invitation but no prenotification postcard (Group 4). Results Overall, 2171 (46.86%) patients consented to participate. Compared to the control group, participation rates increased significantly in all three intervention groups (all P<.001). Participation across the three intervention groups increased for women and men, as well as for patients with high and low educational attainment and high and low family income. The largest relative increase in participation rates occurred among men, patients with low educational attainment, and patients with low family income. No increase in participation was detected for unemployed patients or patients of non-Danish origin. Most participants found the original (813/987, 82.37%) and new (965/1133, 85.17%) invitations easy to understand with no significant difference (P=.08) in comprehensibility between invitations. Conclusions The results suggest that participation in preventive primary care interventions can be greatly increased by implementing a co-design–based invitation strategy that includes prenotification postcards and targeted invitations. Although firm conclusions cannot be made from this study, the observed increased participation rates for men and patients of low socioeconomic status may be relevant in programs that aim to reduce social inequality in health.

Falling participation rates is one of the most significant challenges facing survey research today. To curb this negative trend, scholars have searched for factors that can increase and decrease citizens’ willingness to participate in surveys. In this article, we investigate the timing effects of survey invitation e-mails on participation rates in a university-based online panel with members of the Swedish public. Through two large-scale experimental studies, we examine whether the day of week ( N = 11,294) and time of day ( N = 47,279) for sending out survey invitations impact participation rates. We also ask respondents when they prefer to answer surveys. We find that the timing of survey invitations affects participation rates, however, the effects are small, short-lived, and even out within a week. We also find that the effects of timing vary by employment status and age. The results have implications for scholars and practitioners who utilize online panels for web surveys. When quick answers are important, there may be some limited gains of tailoring the timing of the survey invitation to different individuals. In surveys with more extended field periods, however, such efforts seem less warranted.

Sales of wedding invitations have been experiencing various problems in the marketing process from consumer to consumer. In addition, product sales still use a catalog sales system in the form of books and compete fiercely with other printing houses near the location. Another problem is the distance and time that make it difficult for customers to get invitation booking information at the printing house. Therefore, this study aims to make it easier for customers to order and sell invitations online through a wedding invitation sales website in Palangka Raya City.
The research methods carried out include data collection methods with two stages, namely literature studies and literature studies, as well as software development using the Waterfall (Pressman) method. System and software design is done using Chris Gane and Trish Sarson's DFD (Data Flow Diagram), ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram), and interface design using Story Board. Program creation using PHP and JavaScript programming languages, CI framework (CodeIgniter), Visual Studio Code, and MySQL database.
The results showed that the Web Print Invitation has been made in accordance with the design design and testing stages of the program using BlackBox Testing. Testing of the system has been successfully carried out so that functionally the website can run quite well and according to needs, and produce the expected output.

Accepting and declining invitations bridges the speakers and hearers involved in direct communication to get mutual understanding. In a classroom context, the knowledge of accepting and declining invitations is essential since both teachers and students should be able to create a dialogical relationship. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether the eleventh-year students of SMK Negeri Nibaaf, Kefamenanu, have mastered accepting and declining the invitation, describe their difficulties, and categorize their level of mastery. To describe the whole process, the researchers applied a quantitative method. To get the data, this study used an oral test given to eleven students learning English in the 2020/2021 school year. This study used mobile phones to record the oral test. Their performance was analyzed using the parts of accepting and declining an invitation and four aspects of speaking: fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The result shows that their average score is 89.5. It indicates that their dexterity is categorized as very good, and their level of mastery is excellent. However, they made 109 (48%) right and 23 (8%) wrong answers. They also faced pronunciation difficulties (11 (or" 4%) right and 55 (or: 20%) wrong answers) and grammar20 (or: 7%) right and 46 (or: 17%) wrong answers). It implies that teaching speaking should pay more attention to accepting and declining an oral invitation.

в статье рассматривается одно из разновидностей речевых жанров – приглашение, которое получило широкое употребление в чеченском языке сравнительно недавно, хотя ограниченно присутствовала в нём и раньше: в виде приглашений на свадьбу, торжество по случаю рождения сына, на новоселье. В наше время в чеченском языке круг речевых жанров коммуникативного поведения существенно расширился: в частности, шире используются различные разновидности приглашений, которые чеченцы все чаще оформляют на чеченском языке, причём в большинстве случаев это приглашения на торжественные мероприятия, официальные торжества: на свадьбы, юбилеи, в том числе юбилеи фирм, иных организаций, торжества по знаменательным датам. Это делает актуальным анализ специфических этикетных ситуаций, а также инвентаря формульных выражений, используемых в этих ситуациях, и правил их использования. Основная цель: описание жанра «Приглашение» в речевой культуре чеченского народа. Задачи: - описать различные виды приглашений, используемых в чеченском языке; - дать характеристику функционирования этикетных формул жанра «Приглашение» в речевой культуре чеченцев. Основные методы исследования: метод анализа, метод описания, рассуждения. Результаты: проанализированы вопросы, связанные с данным жанром в чеченской культуре и чеченском языке. Выводы: Само приглашение может быть выражено различно. Выбор той или конструкции определяется ситуацией употребления: местом действия, социально-бытовые условиями, возрастом приглашающего и приглашаемого, предметом разговора. the article considers one of the varieties of speech genres – an invitation, which has been widely used in the Chechen language relatively recently, although it was limited in it before: in the form of invitations to a wedding, a celebration on the occasion of the birth of a son, a housewarming party. Nowadays, in the Chechen language, the range of speech genres of communicative behavior has significantly expanded: in particular, various types of invitations are more widely used, which Chechens increasingly issue in the Chechen language, and in most cases these are invitations to solemn events, official celebrations: for weddings, anniversaries, including anniversaries of companies, other organizations, celebrations on significant dates. This makes it relevant to analyze specific etiquette situations, as well as the inventory of formulaic expressions used in these situations and the rules of their use. The main purpose is to describe the genre of "invitation" in the speech culture of the Chechen people.

Full textAbstract:
If we are to help children develop character, we have to go beyond offering a character education class once or twice each month. We actually have to validate character when we see it or hear about it happening. Through the use of a new strategy called “focused invitations,” counselors and teachers can focus on the 36 core components of character. The results from using this technique are profound and children respond as if we were shining a positive spotlight on the inner-most core of their being. In this article, focused invitations will be described and suggestions will be offered for use in one-on-one situations.
