The results show that aesthetics built on Sufistic conception and spiritual appreciation so distinctively in it’s paradigm.

Abstract

This study investigates the helicopter crash that killed the Iranian President and seven others during a dam inauguration near the Azerbaijan border on May 9, 2024. The research examines factors contributing to the accident, including technical failures, weather conditions, human error, and potential external involvement, within the frameworks of aviation safety theory, geopolitical analysis, and crisis management. Using a multidisciplinary approach and secondary data analysis, the study identifies causal factors, evaluates their implications for aviation policies, and explores the political dynamics arising from the incident. Findings indicate that severe weather conditions, challenging topography, and possible operational errors contributed significantly to the crash. Additionally, speculation about external interference highlights the geopolitical tensions surrounding the event. The incident underscores the need for enhanced aviation safety measures and effective crisis management strategies, particularly in politically sensitive regions like the Middle East.

Abstract

As a source of information, the media can have an influence on its readers, both positive and negative influences. The influence gained by the reader actually comes from the writer who consciously or not forms a certain point of view. As is the case with the news of Syrian conflict that has occurred for a long time. Through transitivity analysis, it is hoped that it will be able to provide an overview of how the media views the event. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of transitivity analysis which was able to describe the media’s point of view on a news story. The data sources used in this research are aljazeera.net and ahram.org.  The theory used to analyze the data is the three elements of transitivity from Halliday and Matthiessen, namely process, participant, and circumstantial. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference int the dominance of the use of the process between the two media. Al-Jazeera is more dominant in using material process and Al-Ahram is dominant in mental process. Both media portray participants from the same angle, namely to make Iran dan Rusia as active participants or actors.
