Published: October 2021

The aim of the present study was to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of Contextual Therapy fair-centered (CT) (based on Ivan Böszörményi-Nagy) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) on increasing Marital Intimacy and reducing Marital Burnout in couples.
The method was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all couples who in 2017-2018 referred to the Sanam private office of counseling and psychological services (under the supervision of the Psychology and Counseling Organization of Iran) in the city of Urmia. Among them, 24 couples who have referred to this center due to marital conflicts, after matching the subjects and the criteria for entering and leaving the research, were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to three groups (Eight pairs in each group), which are two experimental groups and one control group. After performing the pretest, the Contextual Therapy group were performed 10 sessions and Emotion-Focused Therapy was 9 for each pair. The questionnaires used included Walker and Thompson's intimacy scale and Pines 's Burnout Scale. To analyze the data and hypotheses, the statistical test method of “repeated measurement variance analysis” and SPSS software were used.
Findings showed that the effectiveness of Emotion-Focused Therapy in increasing intimacy was significantly (p < 0.001) than the Contextual. But there is no significant difference between the two approaches in reducing “marital boredom”, Also, the findings showed that, over time, the effectiveness of the Contextual Therapy approach to the Emotion-Focused Therapy in “marital burnout” is more stable.
Conclusion: In comparison Emotion-Focused Therapy a more effective effect in increasing intimacy and the effectiveness of the two approaches in reducing marital burnout is the same,but in the long run, the Contextual approach has shown better therapeutic stability in improving Marital burnout.

Published: October 2021

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of reality therapy and cognitive-behavioral training on empathy and self-control of women with marital conflicts.
Methods: The design of the present study was a quasi-experimental with pre/post-test and follow-up, and included a control group. The statistical population of the study included all women with conflict with their husbands who referred to counseling centers in 7th district of Tehran in 2020. Among them, 60 people were selected by purposeful sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group (twenty individuals in each group). Initially, all three groups underwent a pre-test, followed by 8 sessions of reality therapy for the first experimental group (Glasser, 2012) and 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral training (Free, 1999) for the second experimental group. At the end, post-test was performed for all three groups and after three months, a follow-up test was performed to confirm the results. Data collection tools included the Sanai and Barati Marital Conflict Questionnaire, the Julif and Farrington Empathy Questionnaire, and the self-control Questionnaire of Tanji et al.
Findings: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that both reality group therapy and cognitive-behavioral training had a significant effect on empathy and self-control of women with marital conflict (P<0.01). cognitive-behavioral training has been more effective on self-control than reality group therapy. However, reality group therapy has been more effective on empathy than cognitive-behavioral training.
Conclusion: Due to the effectiveness of both methods on research variables, the use of these trainings by psychologists and counselors in the psychological education program for people with marital conflict is recommended. Also, due to the greater impact of each training on one variable, it is suggested that paired training programs be adjusted based on these findings.

The paper presents the results of a complex joint Russian-Vietnamese geological, geophysical and oceanographic expedition in the South-China Sea (R/V “Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev”, cruise 88, 2019), as well as related joint Russian-Vietnamese marine and land researches in the area of north and south Vietnam under a series of local FEB RAS – VAST grants. The organizers of the marine expedition are the V. I. Ilyichev Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (POI FEB RAS) and the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (IMGG VAST). In comparison with the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, it can be noted that the active bottom degassing on the on the Vietnamese shelf and slope have is a local, although the intensity of gas-geochemical anomalies is comparable to similar zones in the Far Eastern Seas. For the first time, anomalous methane fields (up to 5000 nl/l) were found in the water column of the South-China Sea, which are comparable to anomalies on the oil and gas shelf and the gas-hydrate-bearing slope of Sakhalin Island.
Metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks were discovered for the first time in the southern part of Catba Island (Gulf of Tonkin), which indicates the introduction of an endogenous body into the sedimentary strata and its further transformation. In connection with the discovery in 2020 of the large Ken Bau gas field at the southern end of the sedimentary basin of the Red River, the forecast of POI scientists about the presence of significant hydrocarbon reserves in this area was confirmed.
The work was carried out within the framework of the joint Vietnam-Russia Laboratory for Marine Sciences and Technology (V. I. Ilyichev Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology).
The expedition of the R/V “Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev” (cruise 88) is part of a series of expeditions in accordance with the UN Decade dedicated to the Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
Field classification of fractured reservoirs of crystalline basement

Published: October 2021

Development of oil and gas deposits in fractured reservoirs entails certain risks due to peculiarities of geological structure. Classification and identification of fractures in reservoirs is of high-priority importance and makes it possible to assess the impact of both fractured systems and matrix blocks on field development parameters.
This article presents the results of statistical and qualitative analysis of the influence of fracture systems and fracture heterogeneity to classify reservoirs in crystalline basement granitoids using the example of the White Tiger (Bach Ho) and Dragon (Rong) fields located on the southern shelf of the South China Sea (Viet Nam). Field classification of fractured reservoirs is based on a well-marked difference in parameters between wells within a field, due to fracture heterogeneity. In order to solve the tasks set, construction and analysis of graphs of well performance parameters distribution (productivity, flow rates, accumulated indicators, etc.) as well as Lorenz curves were carried out. According to the results, all the objects under study are characterized by asymmetrical shape of distribution curves, which indicates a significant influence of fracturing.
Based on the calculated values of the fracture influence coefficient, it is found that fractured reservoirs in crystalline basement, as a first approximation, belong to type 2. This fact is inconsistent with the earlier works on crystalline basement, in which rocks are classified as reservoirs of type 1. Such contradiction is explained by the fact that the microfracture systems and the blocky low-permeability part exhibit matrix properties, but are not fully matrix. This part of the reservoir is proposed to be called a “pseudo-matrix”. If macrocracks dominate in the section, the basement rocks are identified as type 1 fractured reservoirs, but if microfracture systems (“pseudo-matrix”) dominate in some parts of the void space, they may show the properties of type 2 reservoirs forming a mixed type of fractured reservoirs.
Typomorphic characteristic of gold from tailings of pyrite-polymetallic deposits of Siberian

Published: October 2021

The long-term stored tailings of the ore concentration of pyrite-polymetallic ore deposits are an ideal natural laboratory in which it is possible to study the gold transformation from primary ores to supergene with superimposed anthropogenic characteristics. The typomorphic characteristics of native gold are studied on the example of technogenic-mineral formations (TMF) of the Novo-Ursk, Belokluch and Zmeinogorsk deposits (Western Siberia). The grain size distribution of gold and its concentration, morphology, internal structure and chemical composition shows the features of gold conversion in the processes of dissolution, migration and secondary deposition at geochemical barriers.
As a result of a typomorphic analysis, external and internal signs were identified that prove that gold underwent supergene transformations directly in the body of the technogenic tailings. The growths and accumulations of nano- and micro-size gold, the formation of particles of aggregate structure, lamination, fine particles and veinlets, openwork edges, as well as the absence of physical damage on the surface of the golds, confirm the active mobility of gold at the scales of tailings and emphasize the complex nature of multi-stage processes of gold mobilization.
The gold formation of different chemical composition in TMF is explained by specific physical and chemical conditions for the section of the mound of stored waste, different sources of primary gold and geochemical barriers. Au(S2O3)n(1-2n) and Au(HS)2– are the main complexes responsible for the mobility of gold. Gold of low and medium fineness is formed from thiosulfate complexes, whereas high-fineness gold is formed from hydrosulfide complexes.
The Implications of the Levels of Linguistic Analysis in the Hadith of the Victorious Sect
Authors: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yahya Muhammad Ali Al-Mahdi
Published: October 2021

This study deals with the hadith of the Victorious Sect, which is considered an important principle of loyalty and disavowal in Islam and a testimony of the Prophet Mohammed's (SWS) prophecy. This is a Mutawatir (consecutive) hadith narrated by nearly twenty companions. Using an analytical descriptive method, the present study examines the hadith's words and phrases at different linguistic levels: phonetic, morpho-syntactic, and semantic. Results at the phonetic level show that there is a prevalence of voiced, unaspirated, and explosive sounds that have strong impact on the listener. At the morphosyntacticlevel, results show a prominent presence of the nominal structures that indicate stability and permanence, with some use of verb phrases that indicate renewal, continuity and interactiveness. It seems that the morphosyntactic structures play a great role in determining the semantic interpretations of this hadith with its multiple narrations. This is evident not only through theuse of structures indicating eternal existence and presence across times to confirm meaning and to engrave it in the minds of listeners, but also through the connotations of generalization, specification, focus, emphasis, contrast, and others. All are intertwined in a linguistic harmony in which all linguistic levels - sound, form and structure - perform their function in the fullest and most meaningful way.

Published: October 2021

The basic duty of RI’s General Attorney in Special Crime Division is to undertake repressive function. In addition, preventive strategy is an action taken to prevent the product/service corruption crime by Civil and State Administration Division of RI’s Attorney General (DATUN). This study aims to analyze the construction of JPN authorization based on RI’s Attorney General Law. The method used in this study was juridical normative one. The result of research shows that the textual meaning with grammatical interpretation related to the attorney’s duty and authority in civil and state administration function based on Article 30 clause (2) of RI’s Attorney General Law in the terms of acting for and on behalf of state or government, the prosecutor in civil and state administration area should have special power. This article mentions firmly the phrase “special power”, but does not mention explicitly the State Attorney General. Nevertheless, the interpretation of special power as mentioned in Article 30 clause (2) of Attorney General Law to be State General Attorney is found in Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Regulation. However, in the concept of norm constructed, this authority should be preceded with a demand. The translation of JPN in the context of function provides a legal deliberation that on the one hand the absence of special power of attorney facilitates the role of JPN in the attempt of preventing corruption crime, but on the other hand an inconsistent application of rule occurs.

Published: October 2021

Detrital-zircon U-Pb geochronology documents a regional- to continental-scale drainage reorganization along the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain (USA) from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) to the Paleocene–Eocene. We present detrital-zircon U-Pb ages and Th/U values from the Maastrichtian Ripley Formation to determine the sedimentary provenance and to provide spatiotemporal resolution of drainage reorganization. The Ripley Formation contains a 12.7% overall average abundance of detrital zircons with low (< 0.1) Th/U values relative to the underlying Cenomanian Tuscaloosa Group (3.6%), the overlying Paleocene–Eocene Wilcox Group (2.8%), an Appalachian foreland composite (2.1%), and the laterally equivalent McNairy Sandstone in the northern Mississippi Embayment (3.8%). Multidimensional scaling of detrital-zircon U-Pb spectra shows that the Ripley Formation is dissimilar from underlying and overlying Gulf Coastal Plain units, the McNairy Sandstone, and an Appalachian foreland composite sample because of differences in proportions of Appalachian (490–270 Ma) and Grenville (1250–900 Ma) zircons. We interpret the southern Appalachian Piedmont province as the principal sediment source region for the Ripley Formation to account for the elevated abundance of grains with low (< 0.1) Th/U values and unique detrital-zircon U-Pb age spectra. Results suggest a regional-scale (105 km2) drainage network, which delivered sediment to the Maastrichtian coast followed by northwestward littoral transport and eventual mixing with Appalachian foreland-derived sediment in the northern Mississippi Embayment. This study further brackets drainage reorganization along the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain and demonstrates how simple chemical–age relationships, such as zircon Th/U values coupled with U-Pb ages, can be used to evaluate sediment provenance.

Published: October 2021

The field is a low amplitude structure with a chalky, Lower Cretaceous, Thamama reservoir characterised by a large hydrocarbon transition zone. Porosity generally decreases with depth within the trap although porosity versus depth trends are skewed by tilting. Porosity and permeability mapping was therefore achieved using templates based on seismic amplitudes. Special core analysis data were used to construct algorithms of Leverett J functions versus saturation for a variety of rock types mapped throughout the 3-D geological model of the field. The templated poroperms were then combined with capillary pressures to predict fluid saturations from these algorithms. The modelling of fluid distributions was therefore dependent upon heterogeneities imposed by the rock fabrics. Calibrating the model-predicted saturations against log-derived saturations at the wells involved regression techniques which were complicated by: notional structural tilting of the free water level, imbibition, hysteresis and permeability averaging procedures. Filtered “stick displays” proved useful in assessing the quality of the calibrations and were invaluable tools for highlighting and investigating data anomalies.

Text is an important invention of humanity, which plays a key role in human life, so far from dark ages. Text in image is closely related to the scene or a product and is widely used in vision based application. In this paper we are addressing the problem of visual understanding with text. The main focus is combining textual cues and visual cues in deep neural network. First the text is recognized and classified from the image. Then we combine the attended word embedding and visual feature vector which are then optimized by CNN for Fine-grained image classification. We carried out the experiments on soft drink dataset in Pakistan. The results shows that the system achieves significant performance which can be potentially beneficial for real world application e.g. product search.
Estimation of lymphocyte radiation doses after the ingestion of radionuclides of different tropicity
Authors: Tolstykh E. I. , Degteva M. O. , Akleyev A. V.
Published: October 2021

Assessment of the lymphocyte doses is relevant for solving a number of radiobiological problems, including the risk assessment of hemoblastosis (leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma etc.), as well as the use of circulating lymphocytes as “natural biodosimeters”. The latter is because the frequency of chromosomal aberrations occurring in lymphocytes following radiation exposure is proportional to the accumulated dose. Assessment of doses to the circulating lymphocytes requires due account of: first, the dose accumulated by the lymphocyte progenitors in the red bone marrow; and second, the dose accumulated during lymphocyte circulation through lymphoid organs. The models presented by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP-67, ICRP-100) allow calculating the dose for specific lymphoid organs based on known level of radionuclide intakes. A recently developed model of circulating T-lymphocyte irradiation takes into account all sources of exposure and age-related dynamics of T-lymphocytes: (1) exposure of lymphocyte progenitors in red bone marrow: (2) exposure of T-lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs, taking into account the proportion of resident lymphocytes and the residence time of circulating lymphocytes in the specific lymphoid organs. The objective of the study is to assess the dose coefficients allowing for the transition from the ingestion of 141,144Ce, 95Zr, 103,106Ru, 95Nb to the doses accumulated in circulating T-lymphocytes. For calculations, we used the dose coefficients from ICRP publications for specific lymphoid organs, as well as published data on the residence time of circulating lymphocytes in lymphoid organs and tissues. As a result, it was shown that the doses in circulating T-lymphocytes are higher than those in the red bone marrow, but lower than the doses to the colon wall. The dose coefficients were age dependent; the maximum values were typical for newborns. The obtained dose coefficients for 141,144Ce, 95Zr, 95Nb and 103,106Ru can be used to estimate the tissue and organ doses based on data on the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

According to the analysis of requests for methodological assistance to the Saint-Petersburg Research In ­stitute of Radiation Hygiene after Professor P. V. Ramzaev, measurements of radon concentration (or radon EEC) in existing operated public buildings (primarily children institutions) in the framework of surveillance actions in the regions of the Russian Federation, as a rule, are taken according to Guidelines MU 2.6.1.2838-11, intended for radiation control of public buildings only when they are put into operation after construction, major repairs or reconstruction, due to the absence of special guidelines. Compliance with the requirements of paragraph 6.5 of MU 2.6.1.2838-11 means that the building and premises are in a state that is not equal to their normal operation mode. Registration of high values of indoor radon concentration in this case leads to management decisions, including administrative suspension o f activities for up to ninety days, i.e. the closure of individual premises or even the entire building of a children institution. The consequences of making such decisions may include an increase in social tension in society and provoking radiophobia among the population. The paper presents specific recommendations for the radon survey for existing operated public buildings with non-round-the-clock stay of people, which are based on the results of the analysis of the experience of practical application of various methods of measuring indoor radon concentrations in such buildings in order to assess average radon concentration during working hours in the normal operation mode. The proposed approach can be further used as the basis for developing special guidelines for radiation control of existing operated public buildings with non-round-the-clock stay of people.

Published: October 2021

The aim of the study was to develop a methodology for assessing radiation risk for patients undergoing medical examinations in the Russian Federation. The methodology is based on the risk model of the ICRP Publication 103, the coefficients of lifetime radiation risk for the Russian population and the results of evaluating the doses of patients in the Russian Federation. For thirty examinations that define about 80% of the collective dose of the population of the Russian Federation from medical exposure, the radiation risk was calculated using «gold standard», — the organ doses and the corresponding sex/age risk coefficients for the Russian population. For other examinations (with the exception of mammography) the values of the risk coefficients normalized on 1 mSv of effective dose, which is the averaged value for four selected anatomical areas of the body: head, neck, chest and abdominal cavity — pelvis, were used. It is assumed that for such examinations the error of risk assessment will increase relative to the error of risk assessment for the aforementioned 30 examinations not more than 30%. It is shown that risk estimates for some examinations calculated using the “gold standard” may differ from such estimates on the base of effective dose and nominal risk coefficients averaged by age and the sex to the order of magnitude.
A model for calculating beta exposure doses to tracheobronchial cells during movement of a point source
Authors: Repin V. S.
Published: October 2021

The article describes a model and method for calculating beta-exposure doses to secretory and basal cells of the tracheobronchial part of the respiratory tract when a point source of 1 Bq activity moves along the inner surface of respiratory formations. The calculations, that used for proposed model, were performed by using a 90Y point source as an example. The dose calculation model takes into account the speed o f movement of the radiation source in each respiratory formation, the size of the respiratory formations, and the depth of the secretory and basal cells. The dose calculation is based on  the dose rate attenuation functions published by W. G. Cross et al.  (DOI: 10.1097/00004032-199208000-00002). The calculations were performed for a cylindrical model of a respiratory formation. Two kinds of cells were considered for the dose estimation: cells irradiated without beta-particle exit into bronchial lumen (type 1 cells) and cells irradiated due to beta-par­ticle exit into bronchial lumen (type 2 cells). The results of calculations showed, that as far as the generation number increasing, the average irradiation doses of the type 1 cells are 10 or more times greater than those of the type 2 cells. With increasing generation number in the tracheobronchial tree, doses per cells increase by several orders of magnitude. The highest doses are formed in bronchioles of generations 9-15, reaching units and tens of mGy. In spite of the fact that the number of generation increases, the total number of irradiated cells decreases, the collective doses of irradiated cells (sum of doses to all cells of the respiratory formation) in the last generations are 30-50 times higher than the doses of the first generations. Thus, in case of a single point source, there is a significant (by many orders of magnitude) scatter of doses to individual cells in indi­vidual respiratory formation, as well as significant differences in average doses of trachea, individual bronchi and bronchioles.

Published: October 2021

Cancer morbidity among patients examined using computed tomography within 10 years follow-up period depending on various factors has been retrospectively analyzed. Information on Ozyorsk residents examined at the Kasli District Hospital was retrospectively collected. The data collection period started in 2009 when the first computed tomography examination has been performed in the X-ray department of Kasli District Hospital, and ended by December 31, 2018. The data obtained in the study were linked to the local Cancer registry, the Death registry, and the “CT Registry” database to receive information about the vital status, cancer morbidity and CT examinations performed outside the Kasli District Hospital. Cumulative incidence has been accounted in terms of predisposed conditions associated with cancer, cancer diagnoses stated before the date of the first CT examination and CT-confirmed malignancy cases. As a result of the study, information on 275 examinations of 246 residents of the Ozyorsk urban district has been derived. By the end of the observation period, 46 cases of malignant tumors were accumulated in the study group. The average time from 1st CT to the end of follow-up was 6.5 years. The distribution of carcinogenic effects among patients examined using CT has been shown retrospectively from the date of birth to the date of the end of follow-up. The cumulative cancer incidence adjusted for predisposing conditions has been compared with the LSS data. No epidemiological data were found on the relationship between the detected cases of malignant tumors and the diagnostic radiation from CT scans. The data obtained in the study provide information on the long-term oncological effects among Ozyorsk residents examined using CT as a source of additional information for a comprehensive assessment of the low dose effects associated with diagnostic exposure in the Ozyorsk Computed Tomography Cohort study.

Computed tomography is associated with high patient doses. CT is actively used for pediatric, however, currently there is no reliable data on the pediatric patient doses in the Russian Federation. The current study presents the data on the anthropometric characteristics of 5, 10 and 15-year-old pediatric patients, as well as the results of a comparative assessment of the effective doses of these patients during CT-examinations of chest, considering their anthropometric data. The effective doses were calculated using three methods: based on the actual guidelines (MU 2.6.1.3584-19) using the age specific conversion coefficients; using the conversion coefficients considered patient body mass and effective diameter; using a specialized software NCICT 3.0. The difference between effective doses according to actual guidelines and considering patient body mass and effective diameter was about 7.1 % (max-65 %). High deviations were observed in patients with abnormally large or abnormally low body mass. Effective doses calculated using NCICT 3.0 were higher compared to doses calculated according to actual guidelines on average by 18 % (max — 53 %). Such differences are explained by the fact that in MU 2.6.1.3584-19 conversion coefficients are presented for the most common CT-scan parameters of protocols, and in NCICT 3.0 the calculation considers individual scan parameters for each patient. The difference between effective doses according to NCICT 3.0 and considering patient body mass and effective diameter was about 32 % (max-70 %). This difference can be explained by the differences in the anthropometric data of some patients, and by the use of different types of phantoms: a stylized phantom (Golikov et al) and a voxel phantom in NCICT 3.0.

In 2020 E. Sakalauskas with coauthors published a paper defining perfectly secure Shannon cipher based on matrix power function, proposing effective parallelization, and ensuring no need for multiple rounds encrypting one data block [1]. In this paper we present computational results with the avalanche effect and bit independence criterion (BIC). These criteria are important when describing the rate of confusion of bits in the ciphertext. It was observed that increasing matrix order and group size enhance BIC and avalanche effect results converging to the desired values. Based on the outputs it is possible to pick appropriate parameters satisfying security needs and available memory in a device where appropriate keys are going to be stored.

The paper begins with an overview of the Storytelling potential of Architecture. It tells how the experiential process of moving through spaces and decoding the messages embodied in Architecture has the potential to nourish the perceiver spiritually and emotionally, going beyond the physical traits of the structure and imbibed functions. To understand how a designer can imbibe a narrative while designing a project, the paper then describes the design process of an academic project – A Dance institute for the Kalbelia community at Pushkar, Rajasthan, in India. The description ends with the experiential journey of the perceiver to decode the spatial narratives encoded by the conceiver while conceiving the project; supplemented with the drawings of the design proposal and the inferences.
Institutions of Change: Kathak dance from Courts to Classrooms
Authors:   Ph.D. scholar of English at Jamia Milia University, Delhi., Bhagchandani Suman
Published: October 2021

This paper is a study of the progress of Kathak from the erstwhile courtesan culture to the contemporary classroom, structured practice. It aims to highlight the works of contributors like Nirmala Joshi and Sumitra Charat Ram as the pioneers of institutional Kathak that completely divorced its cultural past in the Mughal courts. Amidst all this cleansisng of Kathak history, Madame Menaka, one of the first female Kathak dancers to perform on the proscenium stage and to legitimise her presence by her association with insitutions of Kathak stands out. Madame Menaka truly deserves more attention in dance history and this paper aims to celebrate her life and works in Kathak. These artists and art entrepreneurs have never come together on the same platform for their contributions in the field of art and culture as they do in this paper. Their works lie scattered in biographies and articles that perform a discrete study on each of them. This paper is therefore an attempt to draw a linear development of Kathak through the works of female art contributors.
Reflections on Modernism in Bangladesh and the abstract artist Kazi Ghiyasuddin
Authors:   PhD research scholar at the School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi., Sarker Archishman
Published: October 2021

This paper is an analysis and anamnesis of the art of the Bangladeshi abstract painter Kazi Ghiyasuddin This paper also explores Bangladeshi Modernism- as an artistic movement in close dialogue with Modernist art emerging from the rest of Bengal and the world at the point of emergence of an international Bangladeshi identity. A close study of his art leads to a contemplation on the syncretism of nature and art (culture) and a manifestation of such through the form of the abstract; while situating the ‘artist’ at an intersection of lived experiences, artistic perception and politics of expression.
Preserving the Cultural Landscape Heritage of Bhimakali Temple and its surroundings, Sarahan, Himachal Pradesh, India

Bhimakali Temple Complex is a popular tourist attraction in the Shimla Hills. The temple complex and the dwellings surrounding are an interesting example of an architecture style developed based on the local constraints of the area. Nearly 800 years earlier, a palace was built housing a temple, by the king of the Bushahr Dynasty in Sarahan, a small town in Shimla District. Along with time, buildings were made around it and a village came up. The landscape which was once barren turned into a lively cultural landscape through a self-sustainable approach one. While the tangible heritage of monumental architecture of the temple is managed and maintained by the Temple Trust, the streets and farmlands along with building knowledge and skills of construction and the art of wood carving in vernacular houses are kept alive by the local people. The paper argues an approach to architectural preservation overlooking the significance of both tangible and intangible heritage. Traditional knowledge system of techniques and cultural values along with human efforts has shaped the landscape that we see today. This inhabited cultural landscape is dynamic rather than in a fixed state as people live here and pilgrims visit it. Such landscapes need a more holistic and comprehensive framework for conservation which integrates architectural monuments, shared spaces like roads and apple orchids because of its association with people, Wood Carving, and other forms of the Cultural Landscape. Such framework can be obtained by understanding the cultural habits and rituals and beliefs of the people, traditional architectural design vocabulary which shaped the settlements and the buildings and intimate knowledge of site geography and climate that shaped and sustained the settlements.

Kathakali is the indigenous art form of Kerala, the southern state of India. Katha means Story and Kali means Performance. The stories are taken from mythology in which, legendry characters are brought to live through performances. The characters are categorized as Protagonist (Key characters) and Antagonist (Anti-hero characters). This study aims to understand how different forms of non-verbal communication are used as a tool for communicating through all performing characters. The focus of study will be on Protagonist and Antagonist.

Background

Despite strong evidence of clinical benefit, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are currently underutilized and smartphone-based CR strategies are thought to address this unmet need. However, data regarding the detailed process of development are scarce.

Objective

This study focused on the development of a smartphone-based, patient-specific, messaging app for patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

The AnSim app was developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team that included cardiologists, psychiatrists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and rehabilitation doctors and therapists. First, a focus group interview was conducted, and the narratives of the patients were analyzed to identify their needs and preferences. Based on the results, health care experts and clinicians drafted messages into 5 categories: (1) general information regarding cardiovascular health and medications, (2) nutrition, (3) physical activity, (4) destressing, and (5) smoking cessation. In each category, 90 messages were developed according to 3 simplified steps of the transtheoretical model of behavioral change: (1) precontemplation, (2) contemplation and preparation, and (3) action and maintenance. After an internal review and feedback from potential users, a bank of 450 messages was developed.

Results

The focus interview was conducted with 8 patients with PCI within 1 year, and 450 messages, including various forms of multimedia, were developed based on the transtheoretical model of behavioral change in each category. Positive feedback was obtained from the potential users (n=458). The mean Likert scale score was 3.95 (SD 0.39) and 3.91 (SD 0.39) for readability and usefulness, respectively, and several messages were refined based on the feedback. Finally, the patient-specific message delivery system was developed according to the baseline characteristics and stages of behavioral change in each participant.

Conclusions

We developed an app (AnSim), which includes a bank of 450 patient-specific messages, that provides various medical information and CR programs regarding coronary heart disease. The detailed process of multidisciplinary collaboration over the course of the study provides a scientific basis for various medical professionals planning smartphone-based clinical research.
