Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles of olea ferruginea root extract: Characterizations, biological assays and their catalytic application in dye degradation
Authors: Wadan Iqbal , Khan Haroon , Tahir Kamran , Khan Muhammad Khalid , Khan Barkat Ali
Published: August 2021

In current work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by a rapid biogenic technique “Green method” utilizing root extract of Olea ferruginea. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized for UV visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Studies (HRTEM) and biological assays. UV visible absorption spectroscopy confirms the formation of AgNPs by giving Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) peak at 430 nm. FTIR study showed occurrence of various functional groups present in root extract of Olea ferruginea. X-ray diffraction analysis determined the crystalline nature of bio-fabricated silver nanoparticles. The elemental composition of green made silver nanoparticles was studied through Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. SEM & HRTEM study revealed the size, shape, surface morphology & dispersion level of molecules. The biologically synthesized AgNPs showed high antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant activity. The AgNPs are observed to be an excellent catalyst on reduction of hazardous dyes, which is confirmed by a decrease in absorbance of maximum values.

Level Set function-based Functionally Graded Material for the reduction of maximum stresses around a pair of inclined unequal circular holes
Authors: Goyat Vikas , Verma Suresh , Garg R.K.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is to present the methodology for grading the Functionally Graded Material (FGM) using Level Set (LS) sign distance function around the multiple holes and parametrically analyse the maximum stresses for a pair of inclined unequal circular holes surrounded by the FGM layer in an infinite plate subjected to uniaxial tensile load using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM). METHODS: The LS method has the ability to represent the multiple geometrical boundaries with a single sign distance function which can be effectively used for grading the FGM around the multiple discontinuities such as holes, inclusions, cracks, etc. When dealing with FGM material grading around multiple discontinuities, it is important to have smooth grading to minimise the stress concentration. The grading of the material with multiple functions may result in sharp changes in the material properties at the interference region which may lead to high stresses. The LS function-based FGM material grading eliminates such sharp changes as it uses a single function. RESULTS: The parametric analysis shows that applying the LS function-based power law FGM layer of Titanium – Titanium Mono Boride (Ti-TiB) around the pair of inclined unequal circular holes significantly reduces the values of maximum tensile as well as compressive hoop stresses when compared with the homogeneous material case.
Diversity of Web accessibility in tourism: Evidence based on a literature review
Authors: Teixeira Pedro , Eusébio Celeste , Teixeira Leonor
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: In the tourism industry, people with disabilities (PwD) are frequently excluded from certain activities. The Internet is one of the most used information sources for planning tourism trips. However, the level of accessibility of information disseminated by the tourism industry through websites is still very low. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the existence of diversity in Web accessibility in the tourism industry. METHODS: A systematic literature review method was used for the identification, selection, and evaluation of the published research on Web accessibility in the tourism industry. A set of 40 papers obtained from relevant scientific databases, and complemented with a snowballing effect, was synthesized and analyzed. RESULTS: Low levels of diversity of Web accessibility were found in the different tourism activities analyzed. The majority of studies published in this field are relatively recent and both manual and automated methods were employed. Web accessibility failures were mainly related to lack of connectivity with assistive technologies, complex layout, and navigation difficulties. CONCLUSION: The results obtained in this systematic literature review provide important contributions to increase knowledge of Web accessibility in the tourism industry. Moreover, practical and theoretical contributions can help Web developers creating more accessible tourism websites.

Authors: Kacani Andi , Kuci Saimir , Aliu Arber , Ibrahimi Alfred , Veseli Aferdita , Baboci Arben
Published: August 2021

Giant Ascending Aorta Aneurysm (AAA) is a rare condition, because of early diagnosis incidence appears to be increasing as a result of routine screening, increased clinical awareness, and improved imaging modalities. The etiology of aneurysms involving the aortic root and ascending aorta can be genetically triggered, degenerative or atherosclerotic, inflammatory, or can result from infectious diseases.  According to many studies for ascending aortic aneurysms larger than 6 cm the risk of rupture, dissection, or deaths was 15.6, making it a large life-threatening aneurysm.

We present the case of a Giant AAA of about 8,7 cm diameter in a 68 years old man who was successfully operated on for ascending aorta and aortic root replacement under modified Bentall technique using composite mechanical conduit with coronary reimplantation.

Conclusion; Ascending giant aortic aneurysm is a rare finding, varying from asymptomatic clinical presentation. Surgical treatment remains the standard treatment with very good results. The selection of the operating technique is very individual, depending on the case and the experience of the surgeon.
Perioperative Management for Surgical Repair of Ebstein's Anomaly.
Authors: Goga Marsela , Kuci Saimir , Ibrahimi Alfred , Bejko Ervin , Llazo Stavri , Likaj Ermal , Zeitani Jacob
Published: August 2021

Background: Ebstein's anomaly is a rare and complex heart defect that affects the tricuspid valve and is accountable for around 1% of congenital cardiac abnormalities. It is one of the most common congenital causes of tricuspid valve regurgitation. Ebstein's anomaly often is diagnosed prenatally, due to its severe cardiomegaly. Some individuals with this anomaly do not experience complications until adulthood and even then, they have mostly minor complaints like exercise intolerance. An atrial septal defect is most commonly (70-90%) associated with Ebstein's anomaly. However, ventricular septal defect (VSD) can be associated with 2-6% of the cases.

Case presentation: This report presents a case of surgical intervention for a 38-year-old female with Ebstein's anomaly symptomatic with moderate-severe pulmonary regurgitation and foramen ovale apertum.

Conclusions: Ebstein anomaly is a complicated form of congenital heart disease with variable clinical presentations. The anesthetic plan must also focus on maintenance of RV function and avoidance of increase in PVR. Reversible causes of increased PVR, such as acidemia, hypoxemia, and hypercarbia must be avoided. Agents that lower PVR, such as nitrates, and nitric oxide may be beneficial in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension.

With a sound knowledge of the cardiac anatomy, accurate scheming of surgical outcomes, routine follow-ups, multidisciplinary team approach, and better management, an experienced center can ultimately improve the prognosis of such patients.

Published: August 2021

Background: Pain management after cardiac surgery has been based on parenteral long-acting opioids such as morphine. The other alternative is remifentanil. We compared the efficacity of remifentanil vs morphine -metamizole   for post cardiac surgery pain relief.

Methods; Twenty patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, receiving standardized propofol–fentanyl and propofol based anesthesia, remifentanil group (Group R, n = 10) and fentanyl (Group F, n = 10). Postoperative analgesia was provided in R group initially with remifentanil and later with morphine-metamizole and in F group immediately after operation.  Pain was controlled by visual observation, questioning, in rest and during coughing, with a score (0-3).

Results; There is no difference in time of extubation between groups but, pain score was much higher in F (3-9) group in first hour compared with R group (0-4). Morphine requirements was higher in (R) after remifentanil was stopped, in a first hour, but was lower after 24 hours compared with F group. Conclusion: Use of remifentanil is associated with lower scale of pain in postoperative period and lower morphine requirement after 24 hours, when analgesia treatment was changed.

Published: August 2021

Fixed asset recognition is one of the main problems in fixed asset accounting. The use of cost does not reflect the true value of the asset so that the asset value is irrelevant. The IFRS convergence PSAK allows the use of the fair value (revaluation method) of fixed assets to reflect the current price so that the asset value becomes higher. Thus financial reports will provide more relevant information to users of financial statements to be used as a basis for decision making. This study aims to determine the effect of leverage, liquidity, company size, decrease in operating cash flow, fixed asset intensity, company growth on company policies to revaluate fixed assets in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2019. The populations of this study was taken using purposive sampling method with a total of 42 companies. The data used are secondary data in the form of annual financial reports and analyzed using logistic regression analysis techniques with a significance level of 5%. The results of this study are leverage, liquidity, and a partial decrease in operating cash flow have a positive and insignificant effect on fixed asset revaluation. Company size, fixed asset intensity, and company growth partially have a positive and significant effect on fixed asset revaluation. Taken together, the variables have a significant effect and are able to explain the variability to the dependent variable by 33,4%.

A (Rendőrségi) Belügyi Szemlében közölt, az állambiztonság területével foglalkozó írások áttekintő elemzése az SzKP XXII. kongresszusát követő időszakban
Authors: Mezei József
Published: August 2021

A hazai állambiztonsági szervezetek jelentős része 1953-tól a Belügyminisztérium keretében látta el feladatait.  Ugyanezen év januárjában a Belügyminisztérium elindította a Rendőrségi Szemlét többek között azzal a céllal, hogy e  tudományos folyóirat keretében helyet biztosítson a  rendőrségi munka során összegyűlt tapasztalatok  megosztásának, hogy irányt mutasson a rendőri  állománynak, akik ezáltal hatékonyabban lesznek képesek  az elméletet a gyakorlatban alkalmazni. Az 1963-tól Belügyi Szemleként kiadott folyóiratnak több olyan rovata is volt, amelyben az állambiztonság valamely szegmensét  vizsgálták, mutatták be, de már az első évtől volt  kifejezetten olyan rovata is, „A titkos háborúk történetéből”  elnevezésű, amely teljes egészében azzal foglalkozott. A  párt és az állambiztonsági szervek szoros kapcsolata okán  figyelmet érdemel, hogy 1961 októberében került sor a  Szovjetunió Kommunista Pártja XXII., míg 1962  novemberében a Magyar Szocialista Munkáspárt VIII.  kongresszusára.

A biometrikus (automatikus) beszélőazonosítás széleskörűen alkalmazott mind a hazai, mind a nemzetközi kriminalisztikai gyakorlatban. A módszertan nagy sebességgel, kiválóan automatizálható adatfeldolgozási lehetőségekkel rendelkezik, pontos és valid  eredményeket szolgáltat. A biometrikus azonosító rendszerek az összevetett hangfelvételeken beszélők azonosságának valószínűségét  adják meg. Egy rendszer performanciájának meghatározásához azonosítási mátrixot kell előállítani, amely a  valószínűségi értékeket tartalmazza. Tanulmányomban ismertetem a mátrixok előállításának folyamatát és szempontjait, az  adatstruktúra felépítését. 136 beszélő személy hangmintáját használtam fel, amelyeket különböző időpontokban és eszközökkel  rögzítettem. Az Oxford Wave Research Ltd. Vocalise és Phonexia biometrikus azonosító rendszerekkel létrehoztam a mátrixokat, illetve  a match és non-match adatokat, amelyeket a Bio-Metrics performanciamérő szoftverrel értékeltem ki. Az eredmények értékelése  megmutatta, hogy a teljesítőképesség meghatározásához több típusú kimenetet is fel kell használni, nem elegendő a leggyakrabban  publikált Egyenlő Hibaarány (EER) közlése. A közel 40 ezer vizsgált valószínűségi érték elemzése alapján a megadott rendszerek  megbízhatóan, megfelelő diszkriminatív erővel képesek azonosítani az egyező, és megkülönböztetni az eltérő személyeket.

Prizonizáció, elidegenedés, börtönártalmak, a hosszú időre elzárt fogvatartottak szemszögéből vizsgálva – Nemzetközi kutatások tükrében
Authors: Fekete Márta
Published: August 2021

A prizonizáció fogalmát Donald Clemmer börtönszociológus 1940-ben alkotta meg. A szó arra a folyamatra utal, ahogyan a büntetését töltő egyén, a zárt  intézetben töltött idő előrehaladtával átveszi annak  erkölcsét, gyakorlatait, szokásait, kultúráját. Clemmer  véleménye szerint bizonyos mértékig minden fogvatartott  érintett a prizonizációs folyamatokban, ám a mérték  minden esetben függ a büntetés előtt élt élet minőségétől:  a kapcsolatok milyenségétől, mélységétől, intenzitásától, és  attól is, hogy ezek milyen módon maradnak meg az elítélt  életében. A büntetés hossza másik jelentős tényezőként van  jelen a prizonizációs folyamatokban, hiszen a hosszabb  idejű büntetés sérülékenyebbé teszi az egyént a  börtönártalmakkal szemben. A prizonizáció mértéke  nemcsak annak fokmérője, hogy az egyén szabadulása után  hogyan boldogul a társadalomban, hanem benti élete  minőségének is, megküzdésének, együttműködésének. Jelen tanulmányban a Szerző azokból a nemzetközi szakirodalmakból nyújt áttekintést, amelyek a  fenti jelenséggel a büntetés hosszának, tehát a nagyítéletes fogvatartottaknak az összefüggésében foglalkoznak. A depriváció, az elidegenedés, a lelki-mentális egészség, az  öngyilkossági rizikó feltárása mellett arra is igyekszem  rávilágítani, hogy az elzárva töltött időnek akár pozitív  hozadékai is lehetnek a fogvatartott életében.

Published: August 2021

The consumption pattern of the people in Indonesia is experiencing a shift. Consumption patterns that are influenced by socio-cultural factors today make people tend to consume food and drinks that are practical and easy to obtain. This pattern began in 2014 until now, making the percentage of food consumption increase by 2.5% per year. Bread is a finished food whose demand pattern has also increased. Due to the development of the middle-class population, an increase in the income of young people, and society's consumption pattern, which is increasingly shifting to a practical urban consumption pattern. The bread industry in Indonesia is still classified as the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector. Small and medium enterprises (SME) is a business sector with a significant impact on improving the economy in developing countries. The products are distributed to offices that work with bakeries and are sold in stores. This shows that the shop production must work quickly to meet consumer demand in the surrounding area. In fulfilling consumer demand, a production quality control process is required in the workstation to reduce defective products. This study aims to carry out a quality control process to reduce faulty products by using a control chart and the concept of kaizen to control and maintain the production process in bread SMEs so that quality and work effectiveness can be realized.

Published: August 2021

Stroke is a cardiovascular (CVD) disease caused by the failure of brain cells to get oxygen supply to pose a risk of ischemic damage and result in death. This Disease can detect based on the similarity of symptoms experienced by the sufferer so that early steps can be taking with appropriate counseling and treatment. Stroke detecting requires a machine learning method. In this research, the author used one of the supervised learning classification methods, namely K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN). K-NN is a classification method based on calculating the distance to training data. This research compares the Euclidean, Minkowski, Manhattan, Chebyshev distance models to obtain optimal results. The distance models have been tested using the stroke dataset sourced from the Kaggle repository. Based on the test results, the Chebyshev model has the highest levels of accuracy compared to the other three distance models with an average accuracy value of 95.49%, the highest accuracy of 96.03%, at K = 10. The Euclidean and Minkowski distance models have the same level of accuracy at each K value with an average accuracy value of 95.45%, the highest accuracy of 95.93% at K = 10. Meanwhile, Manhattan has the lowest average compared to the other distance models, which is 95.42% but has the highest accuracy of 96.03% at the value of K = 6

Riot and revenge
Authors: McGrath Kenta
Published: August 2021

Abe Forsythe's Down Under (2016) is the first narrative feature film about the Cronulla riots, the infamous event on 11 December 2005 where over 5000 white Australians, responding to a minor local incident, descended on Cronulla Beach in Sydney and proceeded to harass, chase and bash anybody who they perceived to be of Middle Eastern appearance. In the following nights, a series of violent retaliatory attacks took place, as community leaders called for calm. Suvendrini Perera identifies how a symmetrical narrative had emerged in the wake of the riot and its aftermath, whereby Cronulla Beach "comes to stand for a paired sequence of events, the riot and the revenge, in a fable of equivalence in which two misguided groups . . . mirror each other's ignorance and prejudices". This article considers how Down Under reinforces the distortive implications of this "riot and revenge" narrative by maintaining a structural equilibrium, through the rigorous balancing of its narrative and characters, and formally, via its soundtrack, cinematography and editing patterns. In so doing, and despite its antiracist sentiments, the film ultimately dilutes the issue of race and obscures the power imbalances that informed the riot, and which continue to this day
Multicultural Glasgow
Authors: Torricelli Emily
Published: August 2021

In films, even contemporary ones posing alternatives to the mythic representations of Scotland, Scottish identity is often constructed as homogeneous and white. Though a small number of films have been made addressing Scotland’s white minority groups, it is not until the 2000s that filmmakers such as Ken Loach and Pratibha Parmar began to explore non-white Scottish identities. This article explores the ways the former’s Ae Fond Kiss… (2004) and the latter’s Nina’s Heavenly Delights (2006) construct hybrid, plural Scottish identities by first considering the way the two films construct these identities, and then by considering the how the identities constructed were received by film critics. Ae Fond Kiss… suggests that racial and ethnic minorities understand “Scottishness” in varied ways that are often influenced by gender, whereas, for Nina’s Heavenly Delights, race, gender, and sexuality are some of the many identities that are united in the Scottish nation. In support of the plural and hybrid Scotlands these two films construct, film critics, despite the complications of genre, strongly label both as Scottish films, which suggests they understand Scotland as a diverse or hybrid place or culture.
Film festivals as cosmopolitan assemblages
Authors: Acciari Monia
Published: August 2021

In this article, I seek to explore the use and development of the notion of cosmopolitanism within the context of film festivals. I will examine the specific case study of the Leicester Asian Film Festival from the perspective of an insider—as a Film Programmer and Associate Director of the event. The questions that I intend to answer are: what happens to our understanding of film festivals when we frame it through discourses of cosmopolitanism and borders and, conversely, what happens to our understanding of cosmopolitanism when we frame it through film festival studies? Accordingly, I will place cosmopolitanism in conversation with the developing literature on film festival studies. The aim is to offer an idea of film festivals as “cosmopolitan assemblage”, within a frame of fluidity, exchangeability and multiple functionalities (Deleuze and Guattari). In developing this concept, I will draw on Ulf Hannerz’s use of the term cosmopolitanism that includes being open to and involved with otherness. The aim is to theorise the idea of festivals as borders, and inspire new forms of consciousness and cultural competency applied to film festival programming.
Exercising radical democracy
Authors: Hunter Aaron
Published: August 2021

The utopian promise of the digital era and the seemingly open, democratic power of the Internet have raised the hopes of activists and documentarians alike. The immediacy, reciprocity and accessibility of the emergent communication technologies appeared to be particularly suitable for media projects that aspire to mobilise for action, engage communities, and challenge the existing power structures in order to have direct influence on policy making. Over the last ten years, a whole new crop of documentary projects involving new modalities and unorthodox ways of knowledge production came into existence. Interestingly, the rise of this particular form coincided with the global economic crisis and a number of social and political upheavals of epochal proportions. Documentary representation, like all other forms of cultural expression, was not immune to those shifts. This article looks at the ensuing crisis of representation as linked to contemporary documentary practice, and examines some of the ways the new, web-based forms of documentary use polyvocality to engage their audience, build communities, and mobilise in struggles for social change. It features several examples and draws on the existing documentary theory, as well as the implicit, yet rarely invoked, links to the so-called “relational art”.
Hiraeth, or queering time in archives otherwise
Authors: Igwe Onyeka , Stokely JD
Published: August 2021

Archives are the physical manifestations of our collective understanding of history, a way of proving and so legitimising the existence of cultures, practices, and peoples. However, for queer and trans people of colour (QTPOC), entrance into the archive is not easily permitted; the truths of their lives have been, and are presently, excluded, claimed as contingent and/or rendered “folk”—lesser forms of knowledge. “Hiraeth” is a Welsh word that is difficult to translate into English. It speaks of a longing or homesickness for a place that is no longer, or never was. For QTPOC, the archive is this, a hiraeth space. We use “hiraeth” to describe the liminal space in which experiences of home, media practices, and a relationship to the archive can exist. As two Black queer artists who in their work have been exploring ways to implode the archive, in this article we look at how our practices can expand what the archive holds and further provide a space to render the untranslatable, the im/possible, as archive material. It is a strategy of both redefinition and defiance.
Scrutinising the rainbow
Authors: Sergeant Alexander
Published: August 2021

The Wizard of Oz is not only an iconic film but an iconic fantasy film. An unwillingness to describe it as such within film studies points to a long history of the fantasy genre’s critical neglect. Dissecting the intrinsically cinematic apparatus of space, this article will seek to demonstrate how The Wizard of Oz functions as a fantasy film. Specifically, it will scrutinise how the film attempts to elicit a positive and reassuring encounter with a sense of the magical that seems tied to the genre’s unique aesthetic pleasures. As the film demarcates a mimetic sense of reality, Kansas, from another magical space wherein the fantasy elements of the narrative takes place, Oz, its sense of space hesitates between a sense of the real and the unreal in a manner similar to that originally described in Tzvetan Todorov’s The Fantastic. The Wizard of Oz would seem to operate a similarly fantastic sense of space, constructing a relationship between the two realms that oscillates between the virtues of both as it celebrates the values of the homely and the otherworldly, the familiar and the new in order that it might mitigate its potential traumas and showcase its joys.
Who’s got the “Reel” power? The problem of female antagonisms in blaxploitation cinema
Authors: DeAnn Seifert Melissa
Published: August 2021

Between 1973 and 1975, films starring Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson such as Cleopatra Jones (Jack Starrett, 1973), Coffy(Jack Hill, 1973) and Foxy Brown (Hill, 1974) introduced leading black women into the predominantly male blaxploitation scene as aggressive action heroines. Within the cinematic spaces of blaxploitation films which featured women as active agents, a racial and sexual divide exists. These films positioned women either inside or outside of gender tolerability by utilising binary constructions of identity based on race, sex and elementary constructions of good and evil, black and white, straight and gay, and feminine and butch. Popular representations of lesbianism and sisterhood within blaxploitation cinema reflect a dominant social view of American lesbianism as white while straight women are consistently represented as black. However, these spaces also constricted black and white female identities by limiting sexuality and morality to racial boundaries. This article seeks to question the unique solitude of these female heroines and interrogate a patriarchal cinematic world where sisterhood is often prohibited and lesbianism demonised.
The tales of New Orleans after Katrina
Authors: Letort Delphine
Published: August 2021

Focusing on the months that followed Katrina and the breach of the levees in New Orleans, the first two seasons of HBO series Treme (2010, 2011) plumb the interstices between fact and fiction, thereby testifying to the confusion that prevailed after the storm. The series derives entertainment from the disruptions engendered by the floods, which create enigmas and knowledge holes in the narrative, dramatising the characters’ individual life stories. From melodrama to docudrama to crime fiction, the series pulls together various generic modes that enhance the impact of Katrina on the local community. While many episodes are devoted to celebrating the resilience fostered by the musical creativity that characterises New Orleans cultural life, this article argues that the focus on music as spectacle downplays the political significance of the events the series retraces.
Exploring racial politics, personal history and critical reception
Authors: Young Gwenda
Published: August 2021

Using archival sources from the Clarence Brown Archive at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, newspaper clippings from a wide range of national and regional press, and unpublished interviews, this article explores how the complexities and contradictions that are central to Clarence Brown’s film version of Intruder in the Dust (1949)—complexities that, arguably, make this film the most ambiguous of all the “race issue” films released in 1949—are mirrored in the director’s own deeply divided attitude to race and to the South. These tensions also surface in the critical reception of the film in the white press, and perhaps more tellingly, in the black press of 1949. The notion that this was a film generally acclaimed in the black press can be challenged, or at the very least nuanced, through a closer examination of newspaper archives, which, in turn, reveals some of the divisions within black intellectual circles of the late 1940s.
What is the value of a technological history of cinema?
Authors: Grieveson Lee
Published: August 2021

Cinema was a product of the second-stage Industrial Revolution. This article examines some aspects of the technological and economic history of cinema and that revolution. It draws on secondary material on the electrical and chemical developments beginning in the late nineteenth century, and on primary research on particular case studies where cinema technology was used to further the economic objectives of industrial and financial organisations.
Corporeality and embodiment in the female boxing film
Authors: Lindner Katharina
Published: August 2021

This article engages with questions of corporeality in the boxing film. Within the context of debates that understand the genre as a space in which the tensions and contradictions around masculinity can be worked out (Baker; Woodward; Grindon), it explores the troubling, and potentially queer, implications of the female boxer in two contemporary boxing films: Million Dollar Baby (Clint Eastwood, 2004) and Die Boxerin (About a Girl, Catharina Deus, 2004). It does so with a particular emphasis on the significance of the corporeality of the boxing body and boxing performance, as well as the embodied spectatorial engagements made possible by the films’ incorporation of the female boxer’s queer orientations.
To infinity and back again
Authors: Haswell Helen
Published: August 2021

In 2011, Pixar Animation Studios released a short film that challenged the contemporary characteristics of digital animation. La Luna (Enrico Casarosa) marks a pivotal shift in Pixar's short film canon by displaying hand-drawn artwork and man-made textures. Widely considered the innovators of computer-generated animation, Pixar is now experimenting with 2D animation techniques and with textures that oppose the clean and polished look of mainstream American animation. This article aims to outline the significant technological developments that have facilitated an organic aesthetic by suggesting that nostalgia dictates a preference for a more traditional look. It will also argue that this process pioneered by Pixar has in turn influenced the most recent short films of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Europe of “Others”
Authors: Keating Abigail
Published: August 2021

This article explores Carmine Amoroso’s Cover Boy (2006) through the themes of deviation, mobility and identity construction and from the textually analytical perspectives of the director’s use of space and mise en scène in establishing a dialogue on “otherness” in a cross-European context. Specifically, I argue that it is through Amoroso’s use of movement within the film’s principal setting of Rome and, in an overt way, cross-nationally that more intricate questions of the constructedness of Western (and privileged) European identity are able to emerge. Along the way, the problematics of identity are also revealed through Amoroso’s narrative interest in performance, both conventionally (through the arts and Italy’s fashion industry) and, more implicitly, as many of the characters in Cover Boy present themselves falsely, in varying complex ways. Further to this, the film’s themes of queerness are addressed not only in light of personal identity, but also under the rubric of national belonging and inclusion. As I shall examine, this (re)configuration of identities can then be read in the broader context of Amoroso’s aesthetic of (re)presentation, wherein the themes of performance and individual and collective identity are strikingly evoked. Finally, my analysis exposes the film’s sociopolitical and socioeconomic interest in “otherness” alongside Zygmunt Bauman’s essay “Europe of Strangers”—to which, I argue, the issues raised in the final moments of Cover Boy adhere.
Disembodied perspective

Used as much in extreme-sports videos and professional productions as in amateur and home videos, GoPro wearable cameras have become ubiquitous in contemporary moving image culture. During its swift and ongoing rise in popularity, GoPro has also enabled the creation of new and unusual points of view, among which are “third-person images”. This article introduces and defines this particular phenomenon through an approach that deals with both the aesthetic and technical characteristics of the images in question. An analysis is presented of the peculiar and unfamiliar appearance of third-person images, in which the head of the user remains fixed in space while the world around it moves independently. Technical descriptions are provided to explain why the perception of the world presented in third-person images differs so radically from our own “first-person” mode of perception. Throughout the article, descriptions and analyses of GoPro videos are supported by parallels to theories of movement and perception in the cinema, specifically Vivian Sobchack’s film phenomenology.
Lightness And Luminance: Perceptual Qualities in Conditions Of Simultaneous Contrast
Authors: Budak Vladimir P. , Vagina Anna Y. , Epikhov Nikita S. , Smirnov Pavel A.
Published: August 2021

This article is devoted to the research of the influence of induction and crispening effects on the lightness of objects. The target of this research is to simplify and clarify the analysis of the light distributions derived from the results of lighting calculations and measurements, and also to form the recommendations for obtaining preferred lightness contrasts in the case of visual perception of objects on different backgrounds. To provide such possibilities, it is necessary to refine the model of the lightness calculation in modern colour appearance models, which, in turn, requires the results of new experiments to take into account the induction and crispening effects in the conditions of simultaneous contrast. The same experiment was established by Takasaki on visual perception of grey squares on grey backgrounds. The article substantiates the necessity to refine the results of the Takasaki experiment and conduct the new experimental approach in more strictly specified conditions and in the expanded luminance range to ensure conditions of the modern standards. Here we propose setting up an experiment that provides these refinements and considers the properties of the proximal field – the contour of objects. The search of the results uses multi-objective optimization methods. The first results of this experiment are presented, based on them, were formed proposals to determine the preferred luminance of objects to ensure the required levels of lightness contrast when working on specified backgrounds. The calculations of the lightness deviations obtained as the result of the experiment and in the CIECAM02 colour appearance model, are presented. The peculiarities of translations of lighting engineering literature in the field of modelling a light-colour environment are noted, which require clarification for a correct and reliable understanding of colour appearance models, for which is proposed to open a discussion on this subject.
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF ADAPTATION TO THE HIGH NORTH
Authors: Averyanova V. Vladislavovna , Vdovenko S. I.
Published: August 2021

Aim: To study physiological conditions of the human body at different stages of adaptation to the climatic conditions of the High North. Methods: A longitudinal study included 17-21-year-old young men (n = 1 310) in the Magadan region (North-East of Russia) that were followed up for 10 years. Parameters of the cardio-respiratory system, the structure of the microvasculature, as well as the data of the biochemical profile and basic metabolism of the subjects were measured and analyzed. Results: Our main findings suggest that longer duration of residence in the High North is associated with decreased functional stress in cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The proportion of individuals with abnormal basal metabolic parameters and hyperglycemia was inversely associated with duration of stay in the High North. At the same time, the percentage of alterations in microcirculation indices increases from the 0 to the third generation of residents of the High North. Conclusion: The results of the study are in general in line with the results of earlier studies on conditions of the main physiological systems at different stages of adaptation. They provide additional support to the hypothesis of the formation of a new population of inhabitants in the Russian High North that were newcomers but gradually adapted to the conditions of the North.

Published: August 2021

Background: Medical registries are important sources of information that allow timely processing of statistical information for evidence-based decisions in healthcare. The Federal Register of Medical Consequences of Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) with a possibility to be adapted for regional circumstances can serve as a tool for better medical care to the victims of RTA. Aim: To justify the need for and provide a draft of the Federal Registry of Medical Consequences of RTA. Methods: We performed a systematic review of regulatory documents and scientific articles on the organizational issues related to provision of medical care to the victims of RTA in the pre-hospital and hospital periods as well as on the development and implementation of information technologies in healthcare. Results: A justification of the need for a Federal Registry of Medical Consequences of RTA has been provided. The aims of the registry, the list of variables and standard operation procedures for running the registry and the use of the data have been developed. Conclusions: Implementation of the Federal Registry of Medical Consequences of RTA in Russia will allow qualitative estimation of health consequences of RTA providing federal and regional health authorities with reliable and measurable information required for development of preventive measures to reduce the burden of RTA and their consequences in Russia.
