O grotesco na Prancha 32 do Atlas Mnemosyne
Authors: Makowiecky Sandra , Wedekin Luana Maribele
Published: August 2023

A categoria do grotesco é abordada através da análise da prancha 32 do Atlas Mnemosyne de Aby Warburg. Nela encontram-se imagens relativas principalmente ao Renascimento, abordando temas que atravessam os tempos desde a Antiguidade, como a dança da moresca, a corte amorosa e o culto à deusa Vênus, o gênero pictórico das Singeries (macaquices) e a luta pelos calções. Constata-se o vigor da categoria estética do grotesco, quando Aby Warburg dedica uma prancha apenas para ela. Juntamente com a análise das imagens, percorre-se as definições e reflexões sobre o grotesco em André Chastel, Wolfgang Kayser, e, principalmente em Victor Hugo, com seu postulado fundamental de que a forma grotesca se opõe ao clássico e existe na natureza e no mundo em nossa volta, mesmo que em um caleidoscópio de (in) definições. Outras categorias estéticas são abordadas em paralelo, como o belo, para o qual o grotesco surge como contraste; o cômico; o feio, com sua diversidade contrastante à unidade do belo. As imagens selecionadas por Warburg perpassam tais discussões teóricas e revelam polaridades fundamentais para compreender a expressão das comoções humanas: dionisíaco- apolíneo, loucura-razão, animal-humano, libertação-domesticação, caos-ordem, pathos-logos, distanciamento-imersão, expansão energética – contenção energética. Buscou-se igualmente compreender um método em Aby Warburg, seja na seleção e organização das imagens na prancha; seus interesses temáticos, nesse caso, as festas e tradições populares; o seu interesse pelo dissonante, para além das generalizações reducionistas e dos objetos canônicos da história da arte.
“Entre rostos”: a transfiguração da aparência no autorretrato em diálogo com Cindy Sherman
Authors: Schraiber Rogério Tubias , Minuzzi Reinilda de Fátima Berguenmayer
Published: August 2023

Neste artigo discute-se a transfiguração da aparência nos autorretratos da série “Entre Rostos”, em um diálogo com as obras da artista Cindy Sherman, como problemática de pesquisa. O objetivo é analisar, nessa transfiguração, como o referente, ou seja, o rosto, se comporta na modificação das aparências. A abordagem metodológica do processo criativo está embasada nas três dimensões de Rey (2002), sendo a abstrata, a prática e a da obra em processo. A partir da série resultante de autorretratos faz-se uma análise estabelecendo relações com as obras de Sherman. Os resultados mostram que a transfiguração da aparência e o disforme ocultam o "referente do artista" (seu rosto), produzindo uma beleza de outra ordem pela qual se manifesta o "referente de artista" (modo específico do artista transfigurar seu rosto no autorretrato). Conclusivamente, percebe-se que o primeiro referente se camufla com uma segunda identidade, que é sua tanto quanto a primeira, e que só é revelada quando essa se empenha na sua transfiguração.
Arte têxtil e gênero: um mapeamento de produções têxteis globais no livro Unravelling Women’s Art
Authors: Sant’Anna Júlia Mazzoni Armando , Araujo Nivalda Assunção de
Published: August 2023

Como costurar a história das artes têxteis com questões de gênero? No livro Unravelling Women's Art: Creators, Rebels & Innovators in Textile Arts, da historiadora da arte britânica PL Henderson, exploram-se as produções têxteis globais em um recorte de gênero, em uma espécie de mapeamento de produções, movimentos, iniciativas e artistas. A partir de um envolvimento curatorial em um projeto de mapeamento de artistas nas redes sociais, a autora construiu a publicação sob uma perspectiva de compilação, dividindo os capítulos por tópicos relevantes dentro das produções têxteis históricas e contemporâneas. Distanciando-se de uma abordagem universalizante, tampouco exclusivista ou segregacionista, a relação entre têxtil e gênero foi estabelecida a partir de uma análise histórica da prática, frequentemente culturalmente associada às mulheres em diferentes contextos globais. Apesar do foco em nações hegemônicas, há um aparente desejo de explorar essas produções em diferentes contextos socioculturais, como em povos indígenas e países do sul global, por exemplo. Dessa maneira, o livro explora produções, perspectivas e possibilidades nas artes têxteis produzidas por mulheres, tanto no campo das artes visuais quanto, em alguns momentos, fora dele.
Necessary for some, and helpful for all: preparing music educators to reach every student
Authors: Bernard Rhoda
Published: August 2023

This paper puts forth the argument that the field of pre-service music teacher education in the United States must include coursework in accessible music education in order to prepare music educators to teach today’s students effectively. The percentage of students with disabilities and diagnoses in today’s schools is rising, and music educators in the U.S. are not adequately prepared to teach these students. Using the framework of “necessary for some, and helpful for all,” the paper asserts that incorporating some of the strategies and approaches of accessible music education – specifically, Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction – into undergraduate music teacher education programs would greatly increase the effectiveness of U.S. music teacher preparation.
Traços de colonialidade em narrativas de licenciandas em Música: abordagens (auto)biográficas como ponte entre experiências de vida e formação
Authors: Cruz Pâmela Barroso de Araújo , Almeida Jéssica de
Published: August 2023

Este artigo objetiva apresentar dados parciais de uma pesquisa de mestrado que analisou a influência de ambientes institucionalizados e não-institucionalizados de educação musical na formação de discentes de um curso de licenciatura em música de uma universidade do Norte do país, na perspectiva dos próprios alunos. A pesquisa que originou tais dados percorreu pressupostos teórico-metodológicos (auto)biográficos e desenhou-se a partir de uma construção narrativa inspirada na biografia educativa e músico-educativa. O estudo deste material biográfico foi realizado a partir da Análise do Discurso, em que se ponderou sobre traços de colonialidade presentes nos discursos dos participantes da pesquisa que parecem dificultar diálogos e fazeres musicais em uma perspectiva contra-hegemônica. Para que essa dificuldade seja minimizada, sinaliza-se a necessidade de que haja uma ponte entre experiências musicais ocorridas em diferentes espaços de aprendizagem musical, o que pode ser realizado por meio da exploração de metodologias (auto)biográficas em contextos de formação.

Published: August 2023

This study examined the Mediating Effect of Philosophical Orientation to the Transformational Instruction Practices and the Implementation of Flexible Learning: Basis for Institutionalizing Students’ University Experience. Thus, this design used in the study is mixed-method design utilizing three thousand 3rd and 4th year students of LSPU system. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics which includes Cross tabulation, standard deviation, mean, and regression analysis for the quantitative part. The study revealed that the philosophical orientation among faculty in LSPU system as “Highly Observed”. The transformational instruction practices of faculty in LSPU system as “Highly Practiced”. Implementation of flexible learning at LSPU system as “Highly Effective”. The students' university experience at LSPU system as “Often”. The teacher’s transformational instruction practices as to collaboration and inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation of implementation of flexible learning affect only the level of students’ university experience. While the remaining sub-variables does not affect the level of students’ university experience. Still, the null hypothesis is rejected. The philosophical orientations of the teacher mediate the effect of transformational instruction practices and implementation of flexible learning to the student’s university experience. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. In the light of the findings and conclusions, here are the recommendations: Continuous need for reskilling and upskilling and professional development for our faculty to be competitive and relevant in the new normal in education. A technology-enriched collaborative environment could be promoted since collaborative learning environments are where students thrive. In dealing with teachers’ philosophical orientation, they may specify existentialism as philosophy that could be the focus of the study phenomenological method to really dive to the personal and in-depth experiences of the learners.

Authors: Siagian Delima Tuesday , Maida Nining , Irianto Dede Margo , Sukardi Rendi Restiana
Published: August 2023

In a variety of disciplines taught in elementary schools, which frequently need substantial memorizing, the use of mnemonic device techniques has shown to be helpful in facilitating learning and strengthening long-term memory. This study intends to investigate how well various mnemonic device techniques and their theoretical foundations work to improve long-term memory. A literature review methodology was used to create the accumulated findings by analyzing pertinent study results, journal articles, and literature reviews that covered the studied designs. The results of this study show that mnemonic device strategies can help primary school pupils improve their long-term memory. A variety of techniques are included in the mnemonic device techniques, including (1) rhyme, (2) abbreviations, (3) peg word system, (4) loci method, and (5) keyword system. Students can maximize their brains' encoding and retrieval processes, which will boost memory retention, by using the proper mnemonic strategy during the learning process. This helps students remember and retain the information they have learnt. In conclusion, using mnemonic device approaches in primary school instruction can greatly aid pupils in developing long-term memory. As they provide useful tools to aid the learning process and improve students' memory of crucial knowledge, educators and practitioners are encouraged to incorporate these strategies into their teaching practices. The use of mnemonic techniques by students can help them overcome the difficulties associated with memorization and improve their overall learning outcomes.

The present study employs a quantitative descriptive research methodology. The data was obtained by administering a learning style questionnaire consisting of 23 items to a sample of 30 students enrolled in the Biology Education Study Program at FKIP UNTAD. The data analysis was conducted using the Product Moment correlation test. The findings of the research indicate that during the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year, all students enrolled in the Limnology elective course exhibited a preference for visual learning. Nevertheless, a diminished correlation was observed in relation to the association between learning styles and student learning outcomes. The results of this study make two distinct contributions to the current body of literature. The present study describes a taxonomy of participant learning styles, making anticipatory projections based on analogous investigations. Furthermore, this study investigates the influence of different learning styles on the achievement of learning objectives. Moreover, this study incorporates demographic data to control for its impact on educational achievements. The examination and interpretation of the findings from both analyzes will enhance scholarly comprehension of the essential determinants of success in the learning process and their tangible implementation in the field of Limnology education.
SJS-Who? Performance Ethnography and a Practice-Based Pedagogy
Authors: Hatton Oona
Published: August 2023

What is the performative force of practice-based pedagogy? Are there common perceptible outcomes of students engaging in practice-based research (PBR) in a learning environment? This essay utilizes an interview-based performance that is part of a course on performance ethnography to propose three observable features of practice-based pedagogy: intimacy, accountability, and reciprocity. In addition to articulating how PBR aligns with critical performance pedagogy and the performative paradigm, the reflection suggests how one approach to teaching performance ethnography may help to illuminate PBR’s broader methodological contributions.
Practice-Based Pedagogies for Counter-Memorial Performance: Teaching to Address and Shift “Plantation Energy”
Authors: Chapman Dasha A.
Published: August 2023

This article discusses History, Memory, Performance, Place: Activating Davidson’s Submerged Histories, a practice-based course I developed and taught in spring 2020 and spring 2021 at Davidson College, a small liberal arts college twenty miles north of Charlotte, NC, established in 1837 by white slave owners. Drawing together dance, performance studies, and Black studies methodologies, the class centred the body through both practice-based research and critical engagements with power, history, and legacies of white supremacy on campus. Coalescing these three fields amplifies multifaceted practice-based research approaches to antiracist reflective and body-based engagements with history, place, and self. In the class, I brought together embodied creative modalities with archival, historiographic, place-based, theoretical, and dialogic approaches to knowledge production. I facilitated student development of practice-based research projects invested in building new and ongoing relationships to Davidson College’s violent history and its pervasive continuities felt by members of the community in the present. This article considers how practice-based research can be integrated into critical performance pedagogies to contribute to campus historical reckoning projects. Outlining the course methods and integrating student reflections and projects, the article discusses how a process-oriented conception of performance, combined with a “counter-memorial” approach to pedagogy and practice, can underscore ongoing embodied work required to address what one student defined as “plantation energy” on campus.
Letters to a Pine
Authors: Arlander Annette
Published: August 2023

Three letters to a small pine tree written as part of an online performance in October 2020 are compiled and edited into a video essay, with reflective and explanatory commentaries inserted after each letter. The video essay serves as an example of how PAR (performance as research) methodologies can “challenge the epistemological assumptions concerning the concept of research” and how they can “reinvigorate academic conventions” of presenting research results in conferences and publications. The most relevant question is whether performance practices, such as writing letters to trees next to the trees, can serve as an aid for an academic as well as an art audience to focus their attention on trees and other beings with whom we share this world.

recurrence (in two parts)
Authors: Ulehla Julia
Published: August 2023

This essay explores the author’s process of trying to understand how to responsibly forge a relationship with traditional song heritage given conditions of ethnocultural rupture. Weaving together Slovácko folk songs transcribed by the author’s great-grandfather, an archival recording of the author’s grandfather, audio/video documents of her own embodied performance, dreams, folk tales, and analysis, the piece meditates on the many facets of “living song” (živá píseň). The author explores her process of learning how to approach the life of song, and how songs might be cared for. The performance of practice-based research is posited as a means to confront and dismantle patriarchal white supremacy within one’s body and spirit, thereby making possible the recovery of exiled strands of self and the forging of ancestral connections.
Practice-Based Research: Working in Crip Time
Authors: May Heather
Published: August 2023

This essay investigates the negative consequences of higher education’s ableist obsession with individualism, objectivity, and results, positing practice-based research as a powerful crip alternative to traditional academic models. While traditional models of scholarship aim to separate knowledge from the body that created it, practice-based research locates the body as the source of wisdom, a source to be recognized and celebrated. This essay makes legible the messy bodily experience I had during its writing and intertwines it with an explanation of the autoethnographic research process I undertook to better understand my disabled embodied self during a multi-year creative research process. I situate my experience creating "Awaiting Tiresias" within a tradition of disabled scholar-artist-activists who seek to create time and space for themselves within higher ed. Alison Kafer defines this experience in Feminist, Queer, Crip as reimagining “notions of what can and should happen in time” and “bend[ing] the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds” (27). Indeed, crip scholarship prioritizes the health of those who engage in it and the transformations that occur through the research and dissemination process instead of results. This essay argues that through its commitment to challenging assumptions, participating in ongoing and collaborative research methods, and recognizing the central role of the researcher’s body in the research process, practice-based research serves as a crip intervention in ableist scholarship practices.
Creative Process and Co-Research with the Early Years through Flight
Authors: Ayles Robyn , Fitzsimmons Frey Heather , Leach Jamie
Published: August 2023

Practice-based research that meaningfully engages with very young children (ages eighteen months to five years) as co-researchers presents wonderful opportunities to co-imagine possibilities together, but it also presents challenges related to communication, a democratic process, and children’s agency. In this article, we discuss how The Urban Wildlife Project uses Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework to help our creative team have a relationship-centred process. We discuss how Flight’s core values of play and playfulness inform our process, how Flight’s “Cycle of Co-Inquiry” and emphasis on understanding children’s meaning-making honours children as citizens, and how several key concepts--including “co-,” a specific conception of children and childhood, play and play-informed meaning-making, and making magic--enable us to include very young children as co-researchers in our co-creation and co-imagination practices.  To illuminate how the process works, we offer two examples of how we are using Flight to inform our practice-based research processes with the early years demographic, and to create meaningful immersive theatre experiences for all participants.
Critical Choice in "Documenting" Practice as Research
Authors: Hunter Lynette
Published: August 2023

Documenting practice as research is a graphic attempt to carry the materiality of practice to an audience, while articulating focuses on communicating the practice in language generic to academic research. The former holds a promise of opening the field to what has not been discursively recognized, by sociosituated people presencing unseen, unheard, obscured, erased ways of living and valuing. The latter is already on sociocultural ground. Which one we use is a critical choice: to articulate to a wider audience, or to engage through documenting with a usually much smaller group of people who will collaborate on being with a not-known materiality.
What Can Music Learning Do? Audiovision as Research-Creation in Undergraduate Music Studies
Authors: MacDonald Michael B.
Published: August 2023

Livestreaming as research-creation for music studies introduced students to research-creation and the felt experience of extralinguistic concepts. As a way of both rethinking the divide between musicology and music performance and engaging in much needed critical reflection on how music teaching has always been done, research-creation in audiovision creates a laboratory for extralinguistic musicology. By connecting research-creation literature with practical training in the production of audiovision music studies, dominant image of thought emerges and a new machinic image of thought is introduced. If music studies is to find its way beyond the disciplinarity of inherited models, it will do so along with a wider engagement in a diversity of what it means to teach and what it means to do research. This is, at its core, a question of what image of thought will be allowed.

In this contribution to the forum on Practice-Based Research (PBR), the author reflects on PBR "moves" throughout her career, identifying three moments when she could feel her practice change, in very personal and embodied ways. She reflects on the "personal turns" and the unanticipated methods and information that emerged.
The Triadic Contours of Ethics in Practice-Based and Interdisciplinary Research
Authors: Hansen Pil
Published: August 2023

In this forum article, I begin to contour the triad of partly overlapping ethical spheres that I operate within when crossing practice-based and empirical research in the performing arts. I also begin to suggest a few approaches that may help me and others navigate these spheres. The ethical spheres I contour are (1) situational and relational ethics; (2) equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility (EDIA); and (3) institutional ethics protocols. This triad is, furthermore, considered with reference to an ethically complex research program titled “strengths-based dramaturgies of accessibility in the performing arts.”
Effect of deposition location of electron cyclotron resonance heating on active control of fishbone modes in the HL-2A tokamak

Published: August 2023

Experiment on suppressing fishbone activities is carried out in HL-2A tokamak by electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH). To achieve multiple deposition locations of ECRH, the magnetic field is in a range of 1.22–1.4 T from shot to shot. It is found that the fishbone modes exhibit different characteristics at different radial deposition locations. With the same injected power, the effect of off-axis ECRH is much better than that of on-axis heating. The fishbone modes can be completely suppressed when ECRH is deposited nearby the q = 1 rational surface, but would only mitigate in other cases. Further analysis indicate that injection of high power ECRH leads the electron temperature to increase, then the pressure gradient and plasma current density to change, finally safety factor to change and the minimum safety factor to reach a value larger than 1. Meanwhile, M3D-K simulation results show that the growth rate of fishbone mode declines with the increase of qmin. In other words, the growth of safety factor and disappearance of q = 1 rational surface induced by ECRH contribute to the suppression of fishbone activities. The experimental results reported here may not only help to better understand complex effects of ECRH on magnetohydrodynamic instability, but also provide a physics basis for actively controlling the energetic particle driven modes in the future magnetic confined fusion devices.

With the development of condensed matter physics, space observation, and quantum technology in recent years, the demand for ultra-low temperature refrigeration has increased. The adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) has the advantages of being unaffected by gravity, compact structure, and relatively low cost, which can meet the needs of space and ground applications.

In this paper, a 50 mK multi-stage ADR is designed and developed which comprises a GM-type pulse tube cryocooler for precooling and three ADR stages connected in series. For easy installation and maintenance, the three ADR stages are placed on a separate cold plate which is connected to the 4 K cold plate via copper columns. The Dy3Ga5O12 (GGG) is employed as the refrigerant in the first stage, whereas CrK(SO4)2 · 12H2O (CPA) is utilized for the second stage and third stage. To control heat transfer between stages and the 4 K heat sink, active gas-gap heat switch and passive gas-gap heat switch are developed, with the latter having a switching ratio over 1000.

The 4 T, 2 T and 1 T superconducting magnets are utilized in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stage, respectively, and a numerical model is used to optimize the design of magnetic shielding. In addition, an ADR simulation model with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is constructed to assist in tuning the controller parameters in the experiment. The lowest temperature achieved in the experiment is 38 mK, with a temperature fluctuation of 10.6 μK. The durations of different cooling power (1, 2 and 3 μW) at 100 mK are also measured. It is calculated that the no-load maintenance time is about 4.3 h, the leakage heat power is about 4.5 μW, and the total cooling capacity is about 71 mJ. This refrigerator is the first Chinese multi-stage ADR that can reach a temperature under 50 mK, which lays an important foundation for subsequent research on continuous adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration.
Control of telomere length in yeast by SUMOylated PCNA and the Elg1 PCNA unloader

Telomeres cap and protect the linear eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomere length is determined by an equilibrium between positive and negative regulators of telomerase activity. A systematic screen for yeast mutants that affect telomere length maintenance in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed that mutations in any of ~500 genes affects telomere length. One of the genes that, when mutated, causes telomere elongation is ELG1, which encodes an unloader of PCNA, the processivity factor for replicative DNA polymerases. PCNA can undergo SUMOylation on two conserved residues, K164 and K127, or ubiquitination at lysine 164. These modifications have already been implicated in genome stability processes. We report that SUMOylated PCNA acts as a signal that positively regulates telomerase activity. We also uncovered physical interactions between Elg1 and the CST (Cdc13-Stn1-Ten) complex and addressed the mechanism by which Elg1 and Stn1 negatively regulates telomere elongation, coordinated by SUMO. We discuss these results with respect to how chromosomal replication and telomere elongation are coordinated.

The transcriptional complex Mondo/Max-like, MML-1/MXL-2, acts as a convergent transcriptional regulatory output of multiple longevity pathways in
Caenorhabditis elegans
. These transcription factors coordinate nutrient sensing with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism across the evolutionary spectrum. While most studies have focused on the downstream outputs, little is known about the upstream inputs that regulate these transcription factors in a live organism. Here, we found that knockdown of various glucose metabolic enzymes decreases MML-1 localization in the nucleus and identified two hexokinase isozymes,
hxk-1
and
hxk-2,
as the most vigorous regulators of MML-1 function. Upon hexokinase knockdown, MML-1 redistributes to mitochondria and lipid droplets (LD) and concomitantly, transcriptional targets are downregulated and germline longevity is abolished. Further, we found that
hxk-1
regulates MML-1 through mitochondrial β-oxidation, while
hxk-2
regulates MML-1 through modulating the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and its coordinated association with lipid droplets. Similarly, inhibition of the PPP rescues mammalian MondoA nuclear translocation and transcriptional function upon starvation. These studies reveal how metabolic signals and organellar communication regulate a key convergent metabolic transcription factor to promote longevity.

Innate and goal-directed movements require a high-degree of trunk and appendicular muscle coordination to preserve body stability while ensuring the correct execution of the motor action. The spinal neural circuits underlying motor execution and postural stability are finely modulated by propriospinal, sensory and descending feedback, yet how distinct spinal neuron populations cooperate to control body stability and limb coordination remains unclear. Here, we identified a spinal microcircuit composed of V2 lineage-derived excitatory (V2a) and inhibitory (V2b) neurons that together coordinate ipsilateral body movements during locomotion. Inactivation of the entire V2 neuron lineage does not impair intralimb coordination but destabilizes body balance and ipsilateral limb coupling, causing mice to adopt a compensatory festinating gait and be unable to execute skilled locomotor tasks. Taken together our data suggest that during locomotion the excitatory V2a and inhibitory V2b neurons act antagonistically to control intralimb coordination, and synergistically to coordinate forelimb and hindlimb movements. Thus, we suggest a new circuit architecture, by which neurons with distinct neurotransmitter identities employ a dual-mode of operation, exerting either synergistic or opposing functions to control different facets of the same motor behavior.

Cardiac macrophages are heterogenous in phenotype and functions, which has been associated with differences in their ontogeny. Despite extensive research, our understanding of the precise role of different subsets of macrophages in ischemia/reperfusion injury remains incomplete. We here investigated macrophage lineages and ablated tissue macrophages in homeostasis and after I/R injury in a CSF1R-dependent manner. Genomic deletion of a fms-intronic regulatory element (FIRE) in the Csf1r locus resulted in specific absence of resident homeostatic and antigen-presenting macrophages, without affecting the recruitment of monocyte-derived macrophages to the infarcted heart. Specific absence of homeostatic, monocyte-independent macrophages altered the immune cell crosstalk in response to injury and induced proinflammatory neutrophil polarization, resulting in impaired cardiac remodelling without influencing infarct size. In contrast, continuous CSF1R inhibition led to depletion of both resident and recruited macrophage populations. This augmented adverse remodelling after I/R and led to an increased infarct size and deterioration of cardiac function. In summary, resident macrophages orchestrate inflammatory responses improving cardiac remodelling, while recruited macrophages determine infarct size after I/R injury. These findings attribute distinct beneficial effects to different macrophage populations in the context of myocardial infarction.
