Looking for the real in visual art research
Authors: Holmes Lucille
Published: December 2021

In its brief academic history, practice-led research in the visual arts has been

considered by many as highly problematic, fraught with unanswered questions and

lacking clear concepts, criteria and models. In current literature on this new research

area, the subject’s desire is defined as a crucial element in art practice yet at the same

time it is considered problematic and conceptually obscure and, as a consequence, it is

under-theorised in visual arts practice-led research. This article positions these

problems and limits as productive lines of inquiry which may be advanced by

redirecting toward the discipline of visual arts certain questions asked by Jacques

Lacan of psychoanalysis: Can the question of the subject’s desire be left outside the

limits of our field? What would art research have to be in order to take the problem of

the subject and of desire into account? To address these questions, the discussion

centres on Lacan’s theoretical developments to Freud’s theory of fantasy and, in the

concluding section, proposes a practice-oriented approach in which the production of

knowledge in art research would be conducted in a transdisciplinary alliance with

psychoanalysis.
Art and knowledge systems: Teaching research methods
Authors: MacDowall Lachlan
Published: December 2021

This article examines some limitations to existing models of practice-led research

through a discussion of the development of a research methods subject in a

postgraduate course in community-based arts practice. It argues that, despite being

strongly shaped by institutional conditions and a tendency to frame practice in

relation to a singular artist, the space opened up by debates over practice-led research

can be occupied by forms of practice that are critically engaged with the politics of

knowledge and the possibilities of community-based art making and creativity.
Six rules for practice-led research
Authors: McNamara Andrew
Published: December 2021

Recent experience of practice-led postgraduate supervision has prompted me to conclude

that the practice-led research method, as it is currently construed, produces good

outcomes, especially in permitting practitioners in the creative arts, design and media into

the research framework, but at the same time it also generates certain recurring

difficulties. What are these difficulties? Practice-led candidates tend to rely on a narrow

range of formulations with the result that they assume: (i) the innovative nature of

practice-led research; (ii) that its novelty is based in opposition to other research methods;

1. (iii) that practice is intrinsically research, often leading to tautological formulations; and 2. (iv) the hyper-self-reflexive nature of practice-led research. This paper proposes a set of

guidelines composed in order to circumvent the shortcomings that result from these

recurring formulations. My belief is that, if these shortcomings are avoided, there is

nothing to prevent practice-led from further developing as a research inquiry and thus

achieving rewarding and successful research outcomes. Originally composed for the

purposes of postgraduate supervision, these six rules are presented here in the context of a

wider analysis of the emergence of practice-led research and its current conditions of

possibility as a research method.
Creative research: A radical subjectivity?
Authors: Strange Shane
Published: December 2021

The struggles around notions of creative research are in some ways engaged with the

return of the subject in the face of post/structuralist moves that have tried to evacuate or

dissolve subjectivity, or reduce it to an element in a structure. What this kind of

subjectivity is, and how to define it, seems up for grabs. What I suggest is that creative

research is trying to stretch beyond its boundaries by advocating for a knowledgeproducing

subjectivity that rejects the methodological positivism of so-called real research (which in many ways is centred upon the presupposition of a transcendental subject), while negotiating the discourses of postmodernity and post/structuralism which are suspicious of, or radically dismiss, subjectivity as a category. I suggest that creative research might be a radical gesture, indeed a radical subjectivity, whose possibilities as critical/creative practices reveal the human content of the seemingly autonomous forms which are the outcome of the fragmentary world of capitalist social relations.
The logic of practice? Art, the academy, and fish out of water
Authors: Webb Jen
Published: December 2021

The various institutional imperatives that have arisen in past decades have reshaped

not only the academy but also the careers, responsibilities and practices of artistacademics.

This transformational process has been characterized by both extensive

and intensive competition. In a series of moves that might have been choreographed

by Pierre Bourdieu, those involved have struggled with each other and with policies,

procedures, shifting values and discourses to refine their understandings of the

changing academic landscape, to acquire the capital necessary for success, and to

achieve a better position within the field. In this paper I draw on Bourdieu’s work and

extend his analysis of the discipline of sociology to the creative arts disciplines in

contemporary Australian universities. Bourdieu’s distinction between practical

knowledge and reflexive practice is central to my discussion about ways in which

artist-academics might find a better fit for themselves, their practices and their values,

within the academic domain.
The Role of Human Rights and Obligations toward Cross Gender Empowerment under the domain of Islamic Laws
Authors: Nawaz Salma , Shabbir Malik Shahzad , Shaheen Kanwal , Koser Mouna
Published: December 2021

This study enumerates Islamic laws regarding women rights throughout the extent of Quran and Hadith in the principal origins of Islam. It highlights toward gender equity and women rights. Islamic principles consistently accord with nature of man and woman and think about their intrinsic contrasts. Islam has ensured people (both men and women) human rights and obligations associated with them as people in an equivalent degree. What Islam ensures usually not get conveyed into solid actions because of dominant communal and ethnic standards and in context of social and cultural relations. The basic estimations of Islam ostensibly advance and respect the status of women in the public eye. Islam gave freedom to Muslim women by allowing them equivalent rights as similar to their male partners, as demonstrated by the Prophet Mohammad ??? ???? ???? ???? (PHUH) [women are identical parts orsisters in relation to men]. Numerous adamant translations of Islamic messages and practices of a larger number of Muslim societies unfortunately disagree the primary origin of women rights as well as gender equalities. Besides, it is falsly realized that Muslim females particularly are in retrograte position and are also mistreated by religion Islam as compare to non-Muslim women who are observed as liberated, modernized and forward. Thusly, this article focuses to distinguish how religion Islam has provided women their rights, liberty, equality and respect.
Quelle contribution du Maroc pour la genese d’un consensus universel sur la migration climatique ?
Authors: Alaoui Nadia nasse
Published: December 2021

L'histoire de l'humanité est étroitement liée à celle des vagues migratoires qui représentent l'un des traits les plus importants de nos civilisations. Mais le fait marquant de notre histoire contemporaine est la migration climatique qui est désormais depuis 2009, la première cause de migration forcée. Dorénavant, le discours sur les migrations ne pourra plus se limiter aux migrants économiques, au phénomène de fuite des cerveaux et aux réfugiés politiques ; il englobe désormais une population grandissante de migrants pour des raisons climatiques ou météorologiques.

Cependant, la migration climatique est aussi de plus en plus considérée comme une stratégie d’adaptation humaine innée et spontanée permettant de faire face aux facteurs environnementaux rudes et dégradés.
Attacks on Graphical Password: A Study on Defense Mechanisms and Limitations
Authors: Roy Indrani , Hossain Ajmerry , AHMED RUMEE SARKER TANVEER
Published: December 2021

User authentication is mostly reliant on password-based based verification. Users generally used text-based passwords, which are user-friendly but often predictable and vulnerable to some common attacks. To overcome these shortcomings, graphical authentication methods have emerged. Here, users choose a sequence of images as passwords. Though such methods help users to better remember their passwords, they too suffer from attacks seen in the case of textual passwords. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of the vulnerabilities state of the art graphical password schemes against the following well-known attacks -  Dictionary, Guessing, Brute force, Shoulder surfing, Spyware, and Social engineering. We believe the findings of this study can help researchers design more secure graphical password schemes making them more usable and a realistic replacement for text-based passwords.
Characterization of Monsoonal Rainfall in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Northwestern Nigeria
Authors: Umar Abdullahi , Wali Saadu Umar , Dankani Ibrahim Mustapha
Published: December 2021

Wavelet transform has been underutilized in characterization of rainfall (Real Onset Dates and Real Cessation Dates) in the study area. This study aims at the characterization of monsoonal rainfall. Daily rainfall data of four stations for the period 1981-2018 were collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency. The Intra-seasonal Rainfall Monitoring Index (IRMI) was generated and used in determining the RODs and RCDs. The Mann–Kendall test was used to detect trends of the rainfall characteristics. Wavelet transform was used in modelling RODs and RCDs. Findings revealed that RODs vary between stations. There is low (0.3 Spearman’s Rank r) correlation between latitudes and Early Cessations (ECs) of rains. The Morlet wavelet analysis revealed that from 1999 to 2018, there were more of EOs and NOs especially in Kano station. We conclude that from 1981 to 2018 there has been a minimal increase in the retreat dates of rainfall in the study area.
The catechetical value of Byzantine hymnography
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Galaicu Violina
Published: December 2021

This paper is dedicated to the catechetical vocation of Byzantine hymnography, the author analyzing, on the one hand, the theological “matter” that nourishes it, and on the other - the way in which it is presented to the recipient. Thus, the dogma of the Holy Trinity (including that of trinity unity and intra-Trinitarian perichoresis) animates a series of liturgical songs and is also found in the ekfonises of prayers. No less fertile for Orthodox hymnography is the Christological dimension intimately associated with that of the trinity. To the extent that Byzantine sacred music has Christological and soteriological relevance, it is also the bearer of mariological meanings. Mariological images amplify the sacrificial, eschatological, and epiphanic resonances of Christian liturgy, in general, and of religious music in particular. In conclusion, we will state that, on its catechetical side, Byzantine hymnography has a higher efficiency than discursive theology. Due to the doxological form in which it presents its teachings, it manages to evade sterile didacticism, it communicates vividly with the heart and mind of the believers, fully involving them in the hierophantic exercise.
Documentary testimonies about the national music in European culture Historiographical journey (XVI—XVII centuries
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Ghilas Victor
Published: December 2021

The study brings to the forefront some reference information on the connections of national oral music with the European space. The sources of documentation, to which we turn, allow a first finding, according to which our music enters the attention of the West in the XVI century. Firstly, we refer to the first records of folklore, which appeared in publications in Poland, Germany and France, and which are found in tabulations, anthologies and (or) collections of music. Once they have come out of print and have been put into circulation, they reach the creative laboratory of European artistic personalities, who have gone on to capitalize on our ethnic music in various forms and genres. We catalog some creations through concrete examples, having as a source of suggestion the local melody. Along the way, the actual musical documents from the period under investigation are supplemented with data and information from adjacent fields. The paper takes into account the contribution of foreign authors in a limited period of time (XVI–XVII centuries), who through their contribution have facilitated the promotion of the originality of our musical culture, increasing its visibility and value on the European continent.
Romanian musical creation of Bizantine source in the period 1918–2018
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Chircev Elena
Published: December 2021

Written in the year of Romania’s centennial anniversary as a national state, this paper intends to offer a panorama of the monodic music of Byzantine tradition of the period, composed by the Romanian chanters. Although the entire twentieth century was characterized by the harmonization of the already established church chants, the musical works written in neumatic notation specific to the Orthodox Church continue to exist, albeit discontinuously. Based on the political changes that occurred in the Romanian society, three distinct periods of psaltic music creation can be distinguished: a. 1918–1947; b. 1948–1989; c. 1990–2018. The first period coincides with the last stage of the process of “Romanianization” of church chants. The second one corresponds to the communist period and is marked by the Communist Party’s decisions regarding the Church, namely the attempt to standardise the church chants. After 1990, psaltic music regains its position and the compositions of the last two decades enrich its repertoire with new collections of chants. Thus, we can see that in the course of a century marked by political turmoil and changes, psaltic composition went on a hiatus in the first decades of the totalitarian regime, to gradually resurge after 1980, enriched with numerous works bearing a distinct Romanian stamp.
Documentary sources and methodological landmarks in the research of the creation of the singer Veronica Mihai in the „Folclor” Orchestra
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Chiselita Vasile
Published: December 2021

The study aims to identify the main theoretical and methodological criteria, important in shaping the scientific vision applied to the approach of the subject. The author delimits two distinct periods in the evolution of the singer’s repertoire: the late Soviet period (1968–1991) and the post-Soviet period (1991–1999). The main focus is on the Soviet epoch. Among the documentary sources are the materials stored in the IPNA archive – “TeleradioMoldova” Company, the personal files of the artists, the minutes of the Artistic Council, the musical scores, the library of the editorial offices within the institution. To substantiate the theoretical framework of the study, the author argues the need to instrumentalize the concepts of „Soviet folk song”, „mass song”, „creator&producer networks”, „modernization”, „revitalization”, „invented traditions”, „folklorization”, „new folk songs”, „neo-traditional music”.
The constitution of the academic accordion art in the Moldavian SSR in the period 1940–1960
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Calmis Dumitru
Published: December 2021

With the annexation of Bessarabia to the USSR, the process of professionalization of accordionists, convering all levels of artistic education in the country, is influenced by the evolution of performing arts in Eastern Europe (especially Russia, Belarus, Ukraine). The academic bases are consolidated by illustrious pedagogues, such as Iziaslav Birbraier, Valentin Zagumionov (I. Birbraier’s student), Ivan Folomkin (one of the first graduates of the Gnesin State Musical-Pedagogical Institute in Moskow) and others. Durind the years 1940–1960, the establishment of the accordion interpretive art in the Moldavian SSR was directly conditioned by the massive ideologization of the ex-Soviet cultural space, which largely blurred the national identity aspect in the accordion academization process. Based on the classical-romantic aesthetics „adjusted” by the doctrine of socialist realism, the professionalization of Bessarabian instrumentalists is distinguished by a prominent conservatism compared to other accordion schools of that period, such as German, Danish, Czech etc. (we refer primarily to the compositional domain). Even if in this time segment the accordion failed to fully integrate into the „family” of European academic instruments, taking into account some areas (organological, compositional, pedagogical, interpretive) that needed to be intensely perfected, the first postwar decades can still be considered the reference point for establishing the academic status of chromatic harmonics in the Moldavian SSR
Scientific-methodical activity of the pedagogues of the Special Piano Department of the State Conservatory of Chisinau during the years 1950–1970
Authors:   Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, Republic of Moldova, Guzenco Irina
Published: December 2021

The article describes the methodological and scientific works of the Special Piano department teachers from the Chisinau State Conservatory, created in the period 1950–1970s. The most common type of unpublished articles are reviews of colleagues’ concerts, reports, abstracts, essays and musical collections. The most serious scientific plans of the teachers were related to the genre of the dissertation. In the 1960s. the scientific and methodological articles of teachers of the department of Special Piano begin to appear. The most significant part of them is formed by music collections, composed of the music of Moldovan composers. T. Voitsekhovskaya and A. Dailis compiled and edited musical aids for students of different ages. The uniqueness of these scientific and methodological opuses is due to the specifics of the material under study – the subject of a special piano, the subtleties of which are familiar to authors, pianists-teachers and performers from their direct professional activities. The named scientific publications opened the way for further research of pianists, who became especially numerous at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries.
The Identity of the Performances of the 1960s Directed by Valeriu Cupcea
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Koroliova Elfrida
Published: December 2021

The fruitful activity of Valeriu Cupcea in the 1960s was manifested in the identity of his plays. In the comedy Take, Yanke, and Kadar by I. Popa, this is a union of people overcoming national and religious prejudices. In the socio-psychological drama from the life of a collective farm village The Wheel of Time by A. Lupan, this is the drama of the era, manifested in life situations, in dramatic collisions of the characters in the play. In the philosophical drama about the life and death of A. Levada’s Faust and Death, this is a clash of human destinies, in the struggle of worldviews. The play I Don’t Want You To Do Good For Me Anymore by G. Malarciuc is a satire against favoritism and nepotism. In the play Two Lives and the Third by F. Vidrascu, this is psychological certainty in revealing the spiritual dramas of the heroes. In the play The Crane Feathers by J. Kinoshita this is a poetical and philosophical reading of an old Japanese legend. In the play Eminescu by M. Stefanescu, this is a highly artistic embodiment of the images of Eminescu, Creanga, Alecsandri. In the play Blanduzia’s Fountain by V. Alecsandri, this is the disclosure of the tragic life of a poet who selflessly strives to bring love and goodness to people and dooms himself to death. And others.
The art of dialogueor „How the Bessarabian playwrights of the 1990s discussed with Plato
Authors:   International Association of Theater Critics, Germany, Khalil-Butucioc Dorina
Published: December 2021

The inner mobility of the theater, doubled by the fast pace of life under the wave of postmodernity at the end of the twentieth century, conditioned not only the re-definition of a new theatrical language, but also the re-writing of dialogic forms specific to theatrical art. Or, in the texts of Constantin Cheianu, Val Butnaru, Nicolae Negru, Mircea V. Ciobanu, Dumitru Crudu, Irina Nechit, Maria Șleahtițchi and Nicolae Leahu, dialogue does not only have the classic role of triggering and motivating the action. The (sub)layers of conflict dialogues and „deaf dialogues”, parallel and echo dialogues, seemingly „absurd” association dialogues and „thesis-antithesis” dialogues, the dialogue monologues and the monologue dialogues evoke the alternation of linguistic registers and the play of languages. Completing and continuing the openness to multiple textual styles, the language of dialogues triggers and finalizes the communicative process between written and spoken, but also between text-show-audience. The „palpation” of the types of dialogues and the „immersion” in the mise en abysses of language give us the revelation of deciphering the symbols and meanings of contemporary national and universal drama and theater.
Dialogue with the past in contemporary choreography
Authors:   Jagiellonian University, Poland, Krulitza Ana
Published: December 2021

The present paper starts from the idea of “archival return” in scientific discourse and its possible uses in choreographic practice. In Poland, many choreographers have tried to reconstruct the works of famous artists from the 20s and 30s of the XX century. The works of Pola Nireńska, Yanka Rudzka and Marie Rambert are brought to the stage from today’s perspective. This phenomenon would contribute to the completion of a history with new valences. In the context of reconstructing the choreography of the past, we will refer to the memory of the body and “the body as an archive”. We will analyze how contemporary choreographers work with memory and bodily memories, trying to find traces to get in touch with historical stagings. The research is based on the concept of the body as an archive and the experience of previous generations in choreographic practice. At the same time, we will try to find the answer to the question: how is the process of including choreography in the archival context treated and how does it manifest itself as such today. We will highlight the connection with the past, but also the contribution to knowing and promoting choreographic values.
The Georgian period of the filmmaker Otar Ioseliani
Authors:   Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film Georgia State University, Georgia, Dolidze Zviad
Published: December 2021

The creation of the film director Otar Ioseliani has a significant role in the evolution of Georgian cinematographic art. Since the 1950s, Ioseliani had been active in RSS Georgia, and since the 1980s, thanks to ideological circumstances, he continued his work as a filmmaker in France. Ioseliani imposed himself through a special style in the detection and cinematic expression of the negative parts of everyday life. That is why most of his films were not accepted by Soviet film critics, acclaiming them as negative works that did not fit the Soviet reality and lifestyle. Those works corresponded more to the conditions of critical realism than to socialist realism - the dogma of the totalitarian regime. As arguments for these ideas will serve the analysis (thematic, ideational background, cinematic expression, etc.) of Otar Ioseliani’s films from the Georgian period, starting with the bachelor’s thesis Watercolor (1958) and continuing with the films that became known to the general public: November, The Last Leaf, Pastoral, Once Upon a Time there was a Blackbird.
The Moldovan film Balada haiducească (Outlaw Ballad): the Phenomenon of Innovation through Tradition
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Plamadeala Ana-Maria
Published: December 2021

The polemical character of the paper is explained by the need to reconsider the generative factors in the configuration of the new cinematic wave of the “thaw” era. Unlike the popular postulate, the author launches the novel conception: the change in the face of Soviet cinema is entirely due to the ideational-aesthetic performances of the most ideologized genre of historical film, the historical-revolutionary one. Namely in the films, dedicated to the Russian revolution, there happened a reversal of values of the existential equations: “man – history”, “individual – collective”, “general – human-soviet”. Appealing to the generous virtualities of the mythical-archetypal analysis, we specified the change of the vector of cinematographic knowledge in the Balada haiducească/Outlaw Ballad by updating the patterns of the mythical-folkloric complex as the millennial censorship of the nation. Assigning the inspired cinematographic work both to the context of the “thaw” era and to that of the exponential Balkan genre – the film with outlaws, the singularity of the local discourse inscribed in the identity grid of the neo-romantic type was stated

Published: December 2021

First, a brief excursion is made in the evolution of the historical-biographical film in the Republic of Moldova by highlighting the stages and personalities from the history of this category of non-fiction films. The research focuses on the televised historical-biographical film Evocare. Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu/Evocation. Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu – a co-production of Romanian filmmakers (Romanian Television Film Studio) and the Republic of Moldova (State Company Teleradio Moldova) – dedicated to the eminent personality of the history of our culture – Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu. The authors of the film managed to evoke the multiple activity of the protagonist (writer, poet, playwright, scientist, folklorist and also the most dramatic moments of his troubled destiny. Some similarities and differences in the aesthetic conditions of the TV film and the one for the screen are revealed. The aesthetic peculiarities of the televised historical-biographical film were highlighted, the premises of its approach to docudrama – a species with a perspective of the non-fiction film.
Reminiscences – a space of memory (Based on the film Childhood Memories by Elisabeta Bostan)
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Tipa Violeta
Published: December 2021

Ion Creangă’s “Childhood Memories”, the most complex and significant work of the classic of Romanian literature, has so far known a single screening, that of the director Elisabeta Bostan from Romania. The film, with the same title, highlights a landscape as authentic as possible of the time, morals, customs and traditions and reflects the national identity. Or else, the memories of the writer, the main character of the film, about his childhood, his native village, villagers, etc., remain a living expression of the time. The drama organically combines two timeframes and spaces: that of Nică’s childhood, spent in the picturesque landscapes of Humulești, and the second that of the writer Ion Creangă, who listed his memories in the “bojdeuca (hut)” from Țicău. The director remains faithful to Creanga’s text, to the same colorful language full of expressions characteristic of Moldovan speech, and creates a universe similar to that of the mid-nineteenth century. The film Memories from Childhood (1965), considered by critics to be the “bridgehead of screening”, remained “in the English Academy and the Los Angeles Museum of the Arts – as a reference film in the field of screenings”.
The identity phenomenon in the media culture of the 60s of the XX century
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Bohantov Alexandru
Published: December 2021

The seventh decade of the XX century of the communist regime is significant in many ways. First of all, it is through the brief “liberalization” of the political, social and cultural life of the former Soviet country, which followed the Stalinist frost of sadness. Nonetheless, the ideological constraints in the field of culture and the media have not completely disappeared. A fundamental feature of the research paradigm of British cultural studies explains that no cultural-artistic practice or cultural product can be understood out of context that is why the study of identity dimensions of media culture in the given period requires a complex grid of analysis. The factual state of culture in general, but also of media communication in particular, can be fully understood only if we proceed to a deconstruction of the mechanisms of propagandistic transfiguration of “socialist reality” and of the cultural or media discourse in the society of those times.
The art episteme of national self-identification in the context of postcolonial cultural trauma
Authors:   National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Protas Marina
Published: December 2021

At the turn of the millennia, the narrative of the art sciences was enriched by an extensive analytical polylogue: from eschatological forecasts of the end of the crisis of theories and practices to the multicultural utopias of “global art”. A solid sector in this context is made up of trans-disciplinary studies of the problems of national self-identification and the revision of regional art epistemes in the new geocultural realities, in particular, those refracted in the field of postcolonial trauma of national consciousness discourse. This aspect is especially relevant for the countries of the post-Soviet space, because their cultural and artistic development is under the pressure of two equally traumatic paradigms: the Russification one belonging to the past, and the Westernization paradigm that declares itself to be the manifestation of democratic freedoms. However, each of them leads to amnesia in the historical and cultural memory of nations, threatening to collapse. Only a careful study of the causes and consequences of this civilizational phenomenon, as well as the study of the negative impact of the market ideology of the culture industry, will help to avoid depersonalization of national arts and cultures, while preserving the possibility of indigenous flourishing in the future. The article pinpoints the pain points identifies the sensitive issues in solving this problem by contemporary artists and critics from different countries, including Ukraine, leaving open the final effective fixation of the situation, which increases the catastrophic bifurcation by unstable development
Spectacle of musealization and literaturization of the world in post/postmodern society

Published: December 2021

This article discusses current issues in the evolution of museums worldwide, influenced by global phenomena. The globalization of culture, on the one hand, and the musealization of the world, on the other hand, become the plays of a spectacle of the contemporary world. The museum cultural model becomes dominant in today’s society, influencing all spheres and finding representation in the world’s literatures. Among the various approached theories, the concepts of musealization of the modelled world as a cultural spectacle, “the world as a museum”, imaginary museum, the literaturization of the museum and the musealization of literature. From this perspective, the theses of the Nobel laureates in literature Mario Vargas Llosa and Orhan Pamuk are analysed. In Pamuk’s novel The Museum of Innocence, the museum is the structuring narratological axis of the novel, its theme and compositional nucleus.
Iran’s Strategic Approach towards the Israel-Hezbollah Conflict
Authors: Muhammad Shamshad  , Farooq Arshad
Published: December 2021

The Middle East, a Muslim majority region in the Asian continent, has remained a centre for territorial and extraterritorial powers to secure their strategic interests significantly to access oil reserves in the region. Israel and the United States are two examples respectively. In the wake of securing strategic interests, these states tried to interfere the polity of the Muslim states that infuriated most of the Muslim leaders to such an extent that they had to go for aggressive measures to negate the influence of these interest-seekers. Iran has been leading the Muslim states in the region and has strived hard for integrating Muslim leadership. During this process of regional integration, a special focus has been paid to deal Israel-an important strategic ally of the US in the region and permanent threat for the neighbouring Muslim states. The current circumstances, causes and effects are the product of Arab-Israel wars and most of these have been cashed in by Iran for the security of its interests in the region. Iran has facilitated the Muslim states, particularly Lebanon, to counter the Israeli strategies. It has erected Hezbollah-the party of God- in Lebanon whose effective presence has always restricted Israel from advancing to the region. Since its inception in 1985, Iranian backed Hezbollah has opposed the Israeli motives in the Middle East. Ideological similarities between Iran and Hezbollah have never allowed Israel to manipulate the region. Hezbollah has been in a war-like situation with Israel and has fought a couple of wars which have not only guaranteed a guard for Hezbollah’s campaign against Israel but also have paved the way for Iran to maintain hegemony in the region. This research has been conducted with a primary objective to analyse the Israel-Hezbollah conflict and the strategic approach of Iran towards the particular conflict.
A Multi-parameter Video Quality Assessment Model Based on 3D Convolutional Neural Network on the Cloud
Authors: Li Xue , Qiu Jiali
Published: December 2021

As the rapid development of big data and the artificial intelligence technology, users prefer uploading more and more local files to the cloud server to reduce the pressure of local storage, but when users upload more and more duplicate files , not only wasting the network bandwidth, but also bringing much more inconvenience to the server management, especially images and videos. To solve the problems above, we design a multi-parameter video quality assessment model based on 3D convolutional neural network in the video deduplication system, we use a method similar to analytic hierarchy process to comprehensively evaluate the impact of packet loss rate, codec, frame rate, bit rate, resolution on video quality, and build a two-stream 3D convolutional neural network from the spatial flow and timing flow to capture the details of video distortion, set the coding layer to remove redundant distortion information. Finally, the LIVE and CSIQ data sets are used for experimental verification, we compare the performance of the proposed scheme with the V-BLIINDS scheme and VIDEO scheme under different packet loss rates. We also use the part of data set to simulate the interaction process between the client and the server, then test the time cost of the scheme. On the whole, the scheme proposed in this paper has a high quality assessment efficiency.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding cervical cancer and screening among female nurses at Chunya District Hospital, Tanzania
Authors: Sylivester Wanyaseleli Mkama
Published: December 2021

Background: Cervical cancer is a preventable and is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. About 83% of the world′s new cases and 85% of all cervical cancer-related deaths occur in developing countries. However, lack of knowledge and awareness can result in underutilization of the preventive strategies. Healthcare professionals with adequate knowledge play a greater role in educating the general public on the belief and practices of the cancer of cervix. We assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cervical cancer and screening amongst female nurses at Chunya District Hospital, Mbeya, Tanzania. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study on female nurses at Chunya District Hospital, Mbeya, Tanzania. Data were collected using a predesigned and self –administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included specific sections to test the participant′s knowledge, attitude, and practices related to cervical cancer and screening. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Results: Data from 138 participants were included in the final analysis. The age of the participants was between 20-59 years. The majority of participants had good level knowledge of cervical cancer (in terms of risk factors, signs and symptoms, ways of prevention and ways of screening). All 138 (100.0%) participants knew that Pap smear test is a useful test for detection of cervical cancer and 127 (92.0%) had undergone Pap smear testing. Conclusion: Our study population showed good knowledge of cervical cancer as a disease. The participants had a good knowledge of Pap smear testing and the majority had undergone testing themselves. This study highlights the need for formal educational programs to public to improve knowledge regarding the risk factors and early signs and symptoms of cervical cancer.

In this research, the 2nd part of a series of papers on the processing and characterization of TiAl–Ti3AlC2 composites, the phase evolution during the manufacturing process was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Rietveld refinement method. Metallic Ti and Al powders with different amounts of previously-synthesized Ti3AlC2 additives (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 wt%) were ball-milled and densified by spark plasma sintering (SPS) under 40 MPa for 7 min at 900 °C. Before the sintering process, XRD test verified that the powder mixtures contained metallic Ti and Al as well as Ti3AlC2 and TiC (lateral phase synthesized with Ti3AlC2) phases. In the sintered composites, the in-situ synthesis of TiAl and Ti3Al intermetallics as well as the presence of Ti3AlC2 and the formation and Ti2AlC MAX phases were disclosed. The weight percentage of each phase in the final composition of the samples and the crystallite size of different phases were calculated by the Rietveld refinement method based on the XRD patterns. The size of Ti3AlC2 crystallites in sintered samples was compared with the crystallite size of synthesized Ti3AlC2 powder.
Heuristics and Bias in Indonesian Elections

In the general election for legislative candidates, which is attended by dozens of candidates in one electoral district, often voters do not have sufficient information about the background and performance of the competing candidates. This study explores how a voter chooses his deputy candidate with inadequate information on the candidates. In conditions of low candidate personal information, voters use various attributes or any clues listed on the ballot to help them make decisions in a limited time. In political psychology, mental processes like this are referred to as heuristics. Using an online experimental method and a 2x2 factorial design as well as a two-way ANOVA statistical test, this study examines two forms of heuristics that voters might use to help make political decisions, namely gender and academic degrees. This study indicates that neither gender nor academic degree has a significant effect on encouraging voters to choose. This is evidenced by the results of experimental research studies, which show that each variable has a significance greater than 0.05.

Published: December 2021

Terrorism is a significant issue in national and global security. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, USA, the fight against terrorism has continued to this day. Resistance to terrorists has also changed the stereotype of Muslims, which affects Indonesia's reputation as the largest Muslim country in the world. The Bali I bombing attacks in 2002 by Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) terrorism group reconstructed its identity as Islam Moderate and Indonesia's foreign policy. The method used is the literature study method. Literature study is all efforts made by researchers to collect various information relevant to the topic or problem that will be studied. Through the identity, Indonesia can convince the western countries that Indonesia is worth reflecting true Islam and space to involve in the international political stage. As a pioneer of the Non-Aligned Movement and track record in the region, Indonesia trusted to be a role model for the Islamic world, especially the Middle East, that Islam and democracy are compatible. Through this, Indonesia seed as a strategic country to build international cooperation against radicalism and terrorism, which still becomes a global challenge presently.

This field research with a qualitative approach in this research is outlined using qualitative descriptive methods. The research findings showed that the Indonesian Anti-Communist Front of Yogyakarta City has a strategy of resistance to communism by organizing rallies and even rallies always collaborating with other nationalist community organizations. FAKI Yogyakarta also always holds an annual event that commemorates Pancasila day by watching G30S/PKI films together to grow the nation's knowledge, especially the younger generation of strategy. The next is to oversee discussions that smell communist and views on politics and religion, The Discourse of the Indonesian Anti-Communist Front Yogyakarta city given the political movement of communism is In the power struggle my words about the Indonesian Communist Party is the goal of justifying various ways to achieve the desire for power (Politics), the goal of justifying all means. The discourse of the Indonesian Anti-Communist Front of Yogyakarta city views communist social viewpoints and beliefs consistent with its historical methods. Communists view religion as a result of the history of human development. Based on historical materialism, the beginning of religion was designed by man as an institution containing all aspects of goodness, beauty, justice, and the realm of Communists viewing religion as a human creation. Religion is an imaginary world. Communism, which has a very heinous problem with theology, causes distrust of God and even causes them to be anti-God, anti-Religion, and even aggressive towards religious groups. But part of the Indonesian Communist Party cadre is Islamic, so what the Indonesian Anti-Communist Front says does not represent a diverse reality about PKI and communism.
