Chemical, Anti-Nutritional Factors and Sensory Properties of Maize-Kidney Bean Flours
Authors: OP Ohini
Published: November 2022

In recent years, research efforts in developing countries have focused on the improvement of protein quality of food products due to mass malnutrition. TUWO is a traditional food made from maize flour and consumed by all ages in Nigeria. Flours blends were obtained from Maize and kidney bean flours using the following proportions: A= (100% maize flour as control), B= (90:10), C= (85:15), D= (80:20), E= (75:25). Products were analysed for proximate, functional, pasting, antinutrients and sensory properties. Proximate analysis showed increased in moisture, protein, ash, fiber contents while the reverse was the case for carbohydrate and fats. Functional analysis revealed bulk, water absorption and swelling capacities decreased while foaming, gelatinization, oil absorption capacities increased as substitution of kidney bean flour increased indicating good attributes suitable for food production. Pasting analysis showed increased in peak, trough, final, setback, and peak temperature as the kidney bean flour increased while the reverse was the case for peak time and breakdown viscosities. The antinutrients factors (Phytate, Tannins, Oxalate and Trypsin inhibitor) were found to be within the acceptable levels. The result of the sensory scores showed that sample C was the most liked among the entire samples at the ratio of (85% maize flour and 15 % kidney beans flours). Kidney beans and maize flour can be used to improve the nutrient composition and other quality attribute of TUWO.
Quality of Life and Nutritional Parameters of Celiac Patients in Mar Del Plata, Argentina
Authors: E Motta
Published: November 2022

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is one of the most common causes of chronic malabsorption. The changes that occur in the diet due to the influence of gluten free diet (GFD) lead to a lower content in the intake of fiber and vitamins. Some authors point out that the higher cost of GF foods, the lower availability of those in social events, the impaired patient’s quality of life, could influence the degree of adherence to the GFD. Our aims were to evaluate the nutritional status, identifying the factors that are associated with adherence to the gluten-free diet (DLG) and the quality of life of a group of CD patients in Mar del Plata. Methods: CD patients were recruited from outpatient of clinic and gastroenterology unit of Oscar Alende Hospital, Mar del Plata and Argentina Celiac Association and had blood drawn for micronutrients concentration. Quality of life was evaluated by SF12 questionnaire, factors and adherence to GFD were determined by factors questionnaire and the Celiac Dietary Adherence Test (CDAT). Results: 47% of the participants had high adherence to GFD. The large supply of gluten-free foods without options during social events was significantly associated with the worst adherence to GFD. The average concentrations of folic acid, magnesium, iron and vitamin B12 were within the normal ranges; however, 6.7, 7.0 and 33.3% of the low adherent group showed low serum concentrations of iron, vitamin B12 and folate, respectively, while 7.7 and 53.8% of the high adherent exhibited low serum concentrations of iron and folate, respectively. Approximately 14.2% had anemia, only 7.1% had iron deficiency anemia. 54% of patients reported eating corn-based foods 3 or more times per week. The general perception of health was low in the age range between 18 and 40 years (34.3 ± 22.0) and the energy and vitality values were low in the same group (37.5 ± 25.2). Conclusions: Evaluation of quality of life and micronutrients indicate the need to support the patients in their treatment and to increase the supply of GF foods and the supplementation with vitamins and micronutrients of the GFD.

Edgar Morin, um humanista planetário
Authors: Cavalcanti Limena Maria Margarida
Published: November 2022

Este artigo presta uma homenagem a Edgar Morin, celebrando o seu centenário. Aos 100 anos, Morin continua a ser o intelectual infatigável, íntegro e polivalente, cujas ideias vêm contribuindo significativamente para as diversas áreas do conhecimento. Passando por sua trajetória intelectual, desde a construção de uma razão aberta – crítica e autocrítica - que possibilitou a Morin a configuração das bases para sua reflexão sobre O Método, bem como suas análises sobre os diversos temas que perpassam sua vastíssima obra, busca-se aqui recuperar as bases de seu pensamento, o que fornece outros parâmetros para pensar o mundo e o homem, naquilo que ele tem de complexo: sua vida, seu destino, as possibilidades de realização de sua humanidade. Suas ideias sinalizam a possibilidade de construção de uma política de civilização capaz de proporcionar à sociedade o pleno desenvolvimento das capacidades humanas e técnicas, por meio da busca pela religação e pela complexidade, que se nutrem de um novo pensar, a partir de um humanismo reformulado em função das incertezas inerentes às possibilidades de um futuro melhor para nossa comunidade de destino. Por meio de seu compromisso permanente entre a cultura científica e a cultura das humanidades, como premissa para a formação, chega-se ao Edgar Morin centenário, que continua a desempenhar a tarefa de convocar as novas gerações a resistir, propondo uma política de civilização capaz de formar cidadãos planetários, solidários e éticos.

Published: November 2022

O artigo apresenta um diálogo entre o pensamento do Educador Paulo Freire e alguns teóricos da Sociologia em torno da conceituação de “sujeito em construção”. Justifica-se essa escolha pelo fato de que o pensamento freiriano mergulha profundamente nas grandes questões do ser humano possibilitando interconexões com a Sociologia cujo foco é o ser social, por meio de complexas relações e dinâmicas da vida social. Este diálogo tornou possível um desatar de conceitos que estão envolvidos no processo de análise do “sujeito em construção”.

Authors: Santos Luz Nathan Athila
Published: November 2022

Por ocasião do centenário do cineasta Pier Paolo Pasolini, apresento, a partir da intersecção entre semiótica e psicanálise, a perspectiva aplicada do paradigma teórico e cinematográfico do autor. A imagem contemporânea, as concepções, os aspectos estéticos e comportamentais da cultura italiana e do Ocidente foram os alvos de toda a obra artística de Pasolini. Teórico e crítico da cultura, o autor traz para o campo intelectual de sua época a psicanálise, a filosofia e a poesia moderna como dispositivos de intervenção e de criação semiótica. A cinematografia de Pasolini e os livros Escritos corsários, Sobrevivência dos vaga-lumes e As últimas palavras do herege são o material de extração e de articulação das principais ideias deste trabalho; outras literaturas complementares foram utilizadas para aludir a conceitos psicanalíticos e semióticos. Por meio dessa composição entre o cinema e a literatura de Pasolini, busca-se trazer alguma compreensão acerca dos paradigmas clínicos e culturais da contemporaneidade.

This study aimed to characterize the physical and chemical properties of fermented bamboo shoot flour (TRF) and fermented bamboo shoot starch (PRF) and to test their potential as thickeners. The research was carried out in 4 stages: sample authentication, TRF preparation and characterization, PRF preparation and characterization, and PRF gelling testing at various pH. The results showed that TRF contained 23.92±0.33% insoluble fiber, 6.03±0.10% cellulose, 1.85±0.01% hemicellulose, 15.87±0.10% lignin, and soluble fiber. 2.91±0.03%. PRF had a density of 707 kg/m3, slightly dull color, and reddish brown. TRF cannot be used as a thickener due to it does not form a stable suspension and does not form a gel when heated, but it has potential as an animal feed with a value of acid detergent fiber (ADF) 22.18 and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) 2. 40. Meanwhile, PRF-tapioca has potential as a thickening agent because it formed a stable suspension and formed a gel when heated. Adding 0.5-2.5% PRF to 1%, tapioca suspension produced a gel viscosity of 6.4 – 8.5 cP., similar to 3 g/25 mL modified cassava flour gel formation.

AbstractThis writing aims to analyze the concept of the Wadi’ah contract related to the law of receiving and the procedures for maintaining the goods deposited in the wadi'ah contract according to the perspective of fiqh scholars. The scholars of the madhhab of fiqh view that it is an obligation to keep the goods deposited in the wadi'ah contract. Safeguarding the deposited goods is a form of debt in accepting the trust that the giver of the deposit has entrusted. This care is carried out by the person who receives the deposit independently or may also be assisted by another person who is still within the scope of his residence. There was a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding the issue of how to safeguard the goods deposited in the wadi'ah contract. Hanafi and Hambali scholars stated that the party entrusted with it should take care of the goods as if they were their own by trying their best. The Hanafi and Maliki scholars also state that assigned people may ask for the help of others to keep the deposit in the place of those who are their dependents. Meanwhile, scholars from the Shafi'i school stated that the entrusted person is obliged to take care of the deposited item himself.Keywords: Wadi'ah, Fiqh Scholars, Deposits

ABSTRACT Forest fires and land fires are thus far an annual problem in the province of riau, with effects not only harmful to the people of the province of Riau, even to those of neighboring countries, advanced and efficient technologies are needed to address the karhutla's growing problem in the province of Riau. It is intended to prevent and anticipate the possibilities of increasing the phenomenon of land fires and forests both by natural or otherwise by irresponsible human behavior.The study aims to know about the treatment of forest fires and land fires by the riau county police for the past time, to assess the weaknesses and overcare of the land and forest fires by the riau area police by using polite-yellow dashboard applications and to deride legal formulations using a yellow crude dashboard application to prevent land fires and forest fires in the province of Riau.The study came to the conclusion that handling of forest fires and land by the riau county police is done with a preventive and repressive approach. A preventive approach to this is by performing socialization, empowering communities and conducting carhutla's early detection patrols. Tackling land fires and forest using the yellow sass-yellow dashboard app method presents several weaknesses and advantages. As for the weakness in the development of the application, it is not as high as the operation of the personnel of the Riau area. Not all personnel use the technological advances as field reporting reporting specifically to monitor land fires and forests. Rather, it is overdone in the use of the first information information regarding location and direction of the windfall, both known to nearby accessible sources of water or gas, the three personnel budget problems that could be addressed through police-integrated systems. It will require the creation of a by-law product of both the law and the pp which features a dashboard application model as a primary and integrated facility for sustainable use in the karhutla management to be coordinated by police institutions. Keywords: forest and land fires, non-penal policies, and the yellow sassy dashboard application.

Objectives: To characterize gut Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and identify the factors shaping its composition, we collected fecal samples from healthy Mongolians residing in various regions of Mongolia. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study involving 256 relatively healthy adults between July 2018 and February 2019. Fecal samples were collected for bacterial analysis using culture method and the species of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. were determined by PCR. Results: The participants had a mean age of 38.9 ± 12.8 years. The abundance of Lactobacillus was weakly negatively correlated with grams of fats, potato, cereals foods consumed per day (r = -.20; r = -.16 and r = -.18 respectively). Significant differences in the counts of Lactobacillus were identified depending on the quantity of milk products consumed per day. In adult intestinal tracts, B. bifidum was the most common Bifidobacterium taxon at 29% (31 participants) followed by B. angulatum 13.1% (14), B. adolescentis 9.3% (10) B. catenulatum group 9.3% (10), B. longum 8.4% (9). B. lactis, B. breve, B. dentium and B. gallicum were subdominant species. Conclusion: The Lactobacillus abundance in healthy adults was higher in the region of Khangai, Eastern and Western Mongolia than other locations. The composition of Lactobacillus species varied. Significant but modest correlations were found between amounts of fiber, fats, potatoes consumed, and the amount of Lactobacillus.

OBJECTIVE

To characterize the clinical course and long-term prognosis of a suspected novel cause of neurogenic keratoconjunctivitis sicca (nKCS) secondary to florfenicol, terbinafine hydrochloride, mometasone furoate (Claro and Neptra) or florfenicol, terbinafine, betamethasone acetate (Osurnia).

ANIMALS

29 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Online survey and word-of-mouth recruitment were conducted to identify dogs that developed clinical signs of nKCS after application of otitis externa medication containing terbinafine and florfenicol. A retrospective analysis of medical records of dogs meeting inclusion criteria was then conducted. Included dogs had onset of clinical signs of nKCS within 1 day after application of otitis externa medications containing terbinafine and florfenicol and had documentation of low Schirmer tear test value (< 15 mm/min) of affected eyes.

RESULTS

29 dogs with medical records available for review met the inclusion criteria. Documented return of clinically normal tear production was identified in 24 of 29 dogs, with a median time from application of ear medication to documented return of clinically normal tear production of 86 days (range, 19 to 482 days). A corneal ulcer was diagnosed in 68% (20/29). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed being referred to an ophthalmologist (P = .03) and having a deep ulcer (P = .02) were associated with a longer time to documentation of Schirmer tear test ≥ 15 mm/min.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Dogs that developed nKCS within 1 day after application of otitis externa medications containing terbinafine and florfenicol had a good prognosis for return of normal tear production within 1 year.
The hematogenous marrow tolerance when being in direct contact with the titanium implant.
Authors: Pantor Mihai , Rațiu Cristian Adrian , Ciavoi Gabriela , Rațiu Ioana Adela , Maghiar Laura , Maghiar Adrian Marius
Published: November 2022

Introduction: The titanium implant represents a foreign body for the organism in which it is inserted, and it will never be accepted as an intrinsic structure. However, research has shown that it is very well supported both by soft and hard tissues, including here the limitrophe implant tissues.

Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to test the tolerability towards the titanium implant inserted in direct contact with the hematogenous marrow.

Material and methods: Titanium implants with the length of 10 mm and the diameter of 2 mm were inserted in the diaphysis of the femora bone of 10 male rabbits with the age of 10 months. At these particular dimensions, the implant exceeded the depth of the bone wall with more than half its length, taking direct contact with the hematogenous marrow from the marrow channel.

Results: Seven days after the implants insertion, the histologic examination revealed the fact that the hematogenous marrow had a very good lenience towards the titanium implant, meaning that it did not lead to any immunological rejection reactions, nor to pathological processes or the tendency of proliferation of unwanted tissues like conjunctive fibrous tissue. In these conditions, the pre-implantation reparatory processes fully benefited of the hematogenous marrow support, which, not being altered in any way, offered cells and stimulant factors, of the same intensity, throughout the entire experimental period.

Conclusions: The high tolerance of the hematogenous marrow to the titanium implant assures special conditions for the peri-implantation reparatory processes which take place at a speed that cannot be competed against by other stimulant modalities. This stimulant modality of reparatory processes cannot be applied in all situations, but only when working on healthy bones that contain hematogenous marrow, therefore the practical applicability relates especially to the dental interventions of implant prosthesis.
The Chapel of St. Casimir in Vilnius – A Counter-Reformation Landmark
Authors: Žygas Kęstutis Paulius
Published: November 2022

The present study takes issue with the accepted view (cf. Vikipedija) that the Chapel of St. Casimir in the Cathedral of Vilnius (1623–1636) resembles the Pauline and the Sistine Chapels in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. A closer look and comparison of the dimensions, geometry, materials, and internal décor, however, reveals significant differences. The defining architectural features of the Chapel of St. Casimir do not derive from these Baroque chapels but from multiple Biblical and Early Christian sources. (This study focused on the Chapel’s interior features that survived the 1655–1661 occupation of Vilnius.) Its cubic core recalls the twenty-cubit amplitude of the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. The black marble walls (noir de Namur) allude to the blackening acacia wood of the Ark of the Covenant holding the Ten Commandment stone tablets that Moses received from the Lord on Mt. Sinai. The ox-blood colored pilasters (vieux rouge de Rance) recall the porphyry columns of the Aedicule that sheltered the Tomb of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Jerusalem. The Chapel’s reduced Greek cross plan derives from Vitruvius and recalls Early Christian mausoleums. The Ionic column capitals in the Chapel duplicate the ones in the entrance portals of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and in the Confessio above the tomb of St. Peter the Apostle in the Roman necropolis underneath the Basilica. The Council of Trent upheld Early Christian customs, precedents, and traditions. Materializing the Council’s values, the Chapel became a landmark of the Counter-Reformation. The study at hand relied heavily on the indispensable archival documents gleaned by Povilas Reklaitis, Paulius Rabikauskas, SJ, Zenonas Ivinskis, Mintautas Čiurinskas, Birutė Rūta Vitkauskienė, and Piotr Jacek Jamski.

I will report on the development and the outcomes of this assignment, a research and de- sign project in the realm of sculpting based on polyhedral aggregations, which appeared to be a fruitful assignment for the basic design education of young architects. We discovered an interesting field of formal research that expanded the student’s eyes for spatial relationships, for the world of polyhedra and diverse transformation methods. The results of this highly intuitive experiment were overwhelming, creating many opportunities for related design and research assignments in this field. Tessellations and polyhedra should be integrated in architectural curricula worldwide be- cause they offer anchor points to master shapes or spaces. Great benefits can be reaped from such assignments to understand structures in a more subtle and profound way than the common, well- known rectangular approaches.
Symmetry and Landscape Representation
Authors: Carles Oliver Joan
Published: November 2022

This work analyses the presence of graphic examples and geometric orientation models of certain landscape compositions or natural processes, arranged in artistic literature as a repertoire of practical cases. Among them, we specify those where the notion of symmetry had special im- portance for said transmission, understanding it under a historical and aesthetic meaning where it has been linked to the application of harmonic theories in art. In an etymological sense, we under- stand in this text the notion of symmetry as a correspondence between parts of a whole from the his- torical conception established by Vitruvius, according to which it is born from the proportion to be the cause of a final composition (compositio). Historical-artistic literature allows a graphic and conceptual itinerary to be established through images that end up forming an iconographic corpus of graphic examples that place the landscape image under precepts related to geometric rationali- zation or use these precepts to propose an intuitive alternative related to with direct observation of nature.
Symmetry Relations in Crossed-Arch Domes
Authors: Pimenta do Vale Clara
Published: November 2022

Karbandi, crossed-arch domes or ribbed domes are strategies used to cover large span spaces that depart from a set of arches that are secant to the tracing base circumference, and are rotated several times along the vertical central axis. The number of divisions, rotations, juxtaposi- tion, and the relations with the space layout establish symmetrical relations or define symmetrical modules. In this paper, a comparison between East and West traditions is made, highlighting the similarity of early examples and the increasing complexity, sophistication, and levels of systemati- zation of the Eastern tradition.
Transformation in Implementation. Symmetry Concepts in Industrial Design Products
Authors: Muñoz Patricia
Published: November 2022

In our courses on Morphology for Industrial Design undergraduates, the concept of order and disorder in form is present through the study of the different levels of symmetry. This paper de- scribes an instructional material that was developed to counterweight the limitations of the COVID- 19 lockdown, to connect our students with graduates in order to examine the relevance of the con- tents of our courses and its implementation in professional practice. Diverse types of objects, de- signed by different Studios were chosen, where symmetry was a relevant aspect. This experience was successful, as students could understand that the activities carried out in abstract forms could be transferred to their design projects and also because we understood unexpected relations of symmetry to market strategies, functional and communicational issues. Beyond the appreciation of symmetry within spatial structures, of relations between motifs, and the outcome of symmetry oper- ations, we found remarkable relationships between user ́s expectations and design projects that are instrumental to adjusting its degree of innovation.
Symmetry and Variance. Generative Parametric Modelling of Historical Brick Wall Patterns
Authors: Altun Sevgi , Cem Güneş Mustafa , Hüseyin Şahin Yusuf , Mertan Alican , Özkar Mine , Ünal Gözde
Published: November 2022

This study integrates artificial intelligence and computational design tools to extract in- formation from architectural heritage. Photogrammetry-based point cloud models of brick walls from the Anatolian Seljuk period are analysed in terms of the interrelated units of construction, simultaneously considering both the inherent symmetries and irregularities. The real-world data is used as input for acquiring the stochastic parameters of spatial relations and a set of parametric shape rules to recreate designs of existing and hypothetical brick walls within the style. The motiva- tion is to be able to generate large data sets for machine learning of the style and to devise proce- dures for robotic production of such designs with repetitive units.
Dynamic Symmetry, Harmony, and Balance in Naqsh-E-Jahan Square of Ispahan
Authors: Alizadeh Mohammadmahdi , Pimenta do Vale Clara
Published: November 2022

The desire for order, harmony and balance is a crucial aspect of all fields of art, from architecture to music, from literature to poetry, and symmetry has long been among the tools to achieve some sort of order in chaos. Yet the approach to symmetry, differs in various contexts and eras. This paper intends to discuss the questions of symmetry in a specific context in order to re- think the definitions and boundaries of symmetry in a particular era in order to make a juxtaposi- tion to a more contemporary understanding of symmetry. The chosen study case is the Naqsh-e- Jahan square of Ispahan which is among the prototypes of the Persian urban design and of a great significance. Symmetry is among the key architectural elements of the square, yet arguably how symmetry plays its role in Naqsh-e-Jahan is not limited to the more traditional definitions of the era. Hence this paper has analysed some elements of the square in order to better explain the corre- lation between symmetry and the questions of harmony and balance in the square. Furthermore, this paper extends to mention the differences between Symmetry and Dynamic symmetry and that symmetry in Naqhs-e-Jahan is not absolute and rather relative, in other words, one is observing asymmetry within a symmetry.
(In)Visibilities from the Interval’s Dissymmetry. Reflections Through Távora’s Japan and Sartre
Authors: Cepeda João
Published: November 2022

The Japanese way of building and inhabiting has decisively influenced many Western au- thors. Regarding Western context, “Japan’ness” was appropriated through different manners. However, surprisingly, a subliminal (yet essential) Japanese cultural feature seems to have been overlooked – at least, as far as the research on its possible reverberations on Western design is concerned. Disrupting Western’s more typical symmetrical logic, this Nipponese principle that only exists in Japan, is untranslatable. Here named (and interpreted) as ‘interval’, this notion embodies a concept that, although hidden or intuited, seems to be transversal to all Japanese realms. Based on these indications, this paper focuses on this (little-known to the West) original conception, to finally rehearse an interpretation of the potentiating effects it may have had in the case of one of the 20th century most prominent Portuguese architects – Fernando Távora –, by driving attention to his (Occidental) example, and taking on a critical and different review of his theoretical perspectives, his archives, his journeys, and an in-depth (and, we believe, unprecedented from this viewpoint) examination of his personal library – filled with Japanese and existentialist “Sartrian” traces –, to finally focus on one specific example of his architectural practice: the Tennis Pavilion.
Frontally Framed Compositions. Iterations Through a Recognizable Trope
Authors: Soares Ana Luisa
Published: November 2022

Frontally framed points of view have been a constant medium of representation of archi- tecture, but also a tool to help developed the projects themselves, or to emphasise specific aspects of it’s concept. The use of symmetry and all its variations as compositional technics can be used in the development of many project ideas: axis, proportions, alignments, and creation of hierarchies are themes developed with greater precision in technical drawings. The analysis of this selection of different projects from the second half of the 20th century, built all around the world, we can help to understand how simple technical tools continue to have an important role in how architecture is produced, in a world where the three-dimensional representations and constant moving images are becoming more and more imposed are becoming more and more imposed.
Symmetry In Mathematics and the Mathematics of Symmetry
Authors: Machiavelo António
Published: November 2022

On the one hand, symmetry is frequently used in mathematical arguments as an effective tool to produce simple and elegant proofs. On the other hand, the mathematical concept of group is an important tool to classify objects with respect to symmetry.
Perspective Perovskites
Authors: Katz Eugene
Published: November 2022

Today the term ‘perovskite’ is used to designate the crystalline structure of a wide variety of ABX3 ionic compounds. However, historically this name was coined specifically for a mineral, calcium titanate (CaTiO3). The paper describes crystallographic structure of perovskite materials in connection with geometry of dual polyhedra and applications of one class of such materials (metal halides perovskites) for solar energy conversion. History of discovery of mineral perovskite is also discussed.
Applying Symmetry in Figured Velvet Design
Authors: Setsu Pickett Barbara
Published: November 2022

As an artist I design figured velvets and weave them on multi-shaft dobby and Jacquard looms. I collect design ideas by studying textiles, tileworks and pavement patterns. Symmetry helps me see through the bewildering detail and complexity to discern the underlying organization. This paper describes the role symmetry plays in my design process from initial design sketch through the point paper translation onto the mechanics of weaving geometric patterns in my figured velvets.
Symmetry Concepts as Design Approach. Aesthetics Between Irregularity and Regularity
Authors: Leopold Cornelie
Published: November 2022

The symmetry concept in modern mathematics as a concept of transformations leads to a design methodology which had been implemented in design teaching at Ulm School of Design. The concept is based on defining levels of symmetry, where the similarity grade of figures is the result of the respective transformation. The levels of symmetry follow the transformations with increasing or decreasing invariants. The aim of this research is to bring together the mathematical understanding of symmetry as transformations with a more associative approach in design disciplines following the systematics by Kurd Alsleben on the basis of the work of Wolf and Wolff. The concept will be related to the theory of information aesthetics, where the interplay between redundancy and innova- tion gets important for an aesthetic state, defined as a relation between an ordered to a not-ordered state according to Max Bense. Transformations with many invariants are related to repetitive re- dundancy whereas those with few or no invariants represent innovative creations. But innovation becomes only recognizable on the basis of redundancy. An example of the creation process of pat- terns in a student work illustrates the application of the theoretical concept as design methodology.
Symmetry in Motion: Stellae Octangulae, and Equifaced Polyhedra
Authors: Weiss Gunter
Published: November 2022

We discuss three seemingly independent topics concerning polyhedra, which finally show some relations. The first topic concerns generalisations of the classical Stella Octangula, whereby the pair of indirect congruent tetrahedra, which generates such a Stella, allows forced motions of one tetrahedron along the other. Symmetry arguments are used to identify pairs of right triangular pyramids and pairs of indirect congruent tetrahedra as candidates for such “movable” Stellae Oc- tangulae. The second topic discusses equifaced octahedra, as they occur as the common body of equifaced Stellae Octangulae. It turns out that, in general, there exist four octahedra with the same acute face triangles. They differ in the way their diagonals intersect and in the number of symme- tries and are, in this paper, distinguished “type A-octahedra” and “type B-octahedra”. For obtuse face triangles the is no type A-octahedron. For general right triangles there are two type B- octahedra, which for isosceles right triangles coincide and become the single Rodrigues- octahedron. The third topic concerns polyhedra with congruent isosceles right triangular faces, thus generalising the Rodrigues-octahedron. This chapter also the aims at providing material for educational purposes.
