Beyond Objectivity in Audio Description
Authors: Schaeffer-Lacroix Eva , Reviers Nina , Di Giovanni Elena
Published: December 2023

For many years, objectivity was considered a key norm of quality in audio description (AD), and it still features prominently in many AD guidelines. The primary motivation behind the concept is a recognition of users' autonomy in forming a mental image of the audiovisual content independently. Research has offered many alternative views on the issue that conceptualise the idea of objectivity/subjectivity as a continuum, emphasizing that different approaches can be appropriate depending on the given context of situation, giving rise to different AD styles that cater for a range of aesthetic preferences. Against this background, various cultural domains are experimenting with alternative approaches, challenging established AD practices and the assumptions it is built on. The articles included in this special issue all explore the various ways in which AD user needs can be met and illustrate the dynamic views that exist on objectivity, addressing key questions related to the operationalisation of objectivity, the challenge of interpretation for AD, the exploration of emerging subjective styles, and the concept of aesthetics of or in access.
Utilizing a pseudo-random Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) S-Box for encoding color images through genetic crossover
Authors: JARJAR ABDELLATIF
Published: December 2023

This article introduces a novel algorithm crafted for encrypting color images. The algorithm leverages chaotic principles and harnesses fresh substitution tables derived from independent linear congruence generators. These generators are dynamically sized based on pseudo-random vectors used in this technology. The proposed method initiates with the original image, vectorization, employing selected chaotic maps. The primary goal revolves around implementing a genetic operator tailored for image encryption, who integrates an enhanced Vigenère technique, incorporating novel confusion and diffusion functions derived from the previously established substitution tables. To gauge the effectiveness of this approach, numerous color images of varying dimensions and formats underwent testing using our algorithm. The yielded outcomes are both promising and gratifying, furnishing heightened security against recognized attacks.

Authors: Collantes - González Rubén Darío , Santos - Murgas Alonso
Published: December 2023

Los escarabajos tigre (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), son insectos importantes por su rol como depredadores, además de servir como indicadores ambientales. Lo anterior adquiere mayor importancia en agroecosistemas en los cuales frecuentemente se usan plaguicidas de síntesis; como es el caso del distrito de Tierras Altas, provincia de Chiriquí, principal zona hortícola de Panamá. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la especie de escarabajo tigre asociada a laderas con cultivos en Silla Pando, Volcán, Tierras Altas. Para ello, se observó el comportamiento de los escarabajos en el terreno y se recolectaron especímenes para ser revisados en el laboratorio y comparados con literatura especializada y material de la colección entomológica del Museo de Invertebrados G. B. Fairchild, Universidad de Panamá (MIUP). Complementariamente, se consultaron bases de datos para confirmar la distribución conocida del insecto en el país. Según los resultados, la especie corresponde a Pseudoxycheila tarsalis Bates, 1869; estando muy activos, inclusive copulando, durante el periodo de observación. La coloración metálica, así como los patrones de manchas en los élitros son concordantes con lo descrito para la especie; sumado a que se le atribuye mimetismo mülleriano con Mutillidae (Hymenotpera). Este escarabajo ha sido encontrado en varios sitios del país, por lo cual es de amplia distribución. Sin embargo, al revisarse laderas con cultivos en otras localidades de Tierras Altas, no se encontró presencia del escarabajo, lo cual puede ser consecuencia del uso frecuente de plaguicidas. En conclusión, el escarabajo tigre asociado a laderas con hortalizas en Silla Pando corresponde a P. tarsalis.

Se contó con la colaboración de la Dirección Nacional de Sanidad Vegetal del Ministerio de Desarrollo Agropecuario (MIDA) y de la Escuela Primaria de Majara, para la obtención de muestras de guandú. De acuerdo con los resultados, en los centros de acopio visitados, las plagas asociadas al maíz fueron Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) y Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae); en harinas y productos de soya se encontró al género Liposcelis (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae); en granos de café, se detectó daños por Araecerus fasciculatus (Coleoptera: Anthribidae) y la presencia de Ahasverus advena (Coleoptera: Silvanidae), Cryptolestes pusillus (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae) y el género Orphinus (Coleoptera: Dermestidae). En Majara, se observó en campo presencia de pupas de Melanagromyza obtusa (Diptera: Agromyzidae) y los granos almacenados fueron afectados por Acanthoscelides obtectus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). En conclusión, se identificaron nueve taxa de insectos plaga afectando granos y productos almacenados en Panamá Oeste.
News Frames as Islamophobic Narratives: Radicalized Concepts
Authors: TEMEL Mustafa
Published: December 2023

Media meets individuals' information/news needs, entertains them, and influences their political preferences through the content it produces. In addition to these fundamental functions, media, which also has many functions that can shape everyday life, plays an important role in constructing/determining meaning in an individual's mental world. The increase in Islamophobia, which has become a global problem, has also been influenced by the problematic nature/editorial policies of international and national media outlets. The media, which produces content with a form that dictates how individuals should think about Islam and Muslims, and what meanings should form in their minds, shapes the mental world of individuals with the meaning frames it creates. This study aims to understand in what frames news about elements known as Islamic clothing/appearance, such as headscarves, hijab, veiling, turban, thobe, taqiyah, and beard are presented in the Turkish media. Therefore, news articles on the websites of media organizations named Sözcü, Cumhuriyet, and Halk TV, which were selected through purposive sampling, were analyzed using the framing technique. The research findings indicate that concepts related to Islam and Muslims are presented in a radicalized manner, framed with negative narratives and that Islamophobic thinking patterns are conveyed to individuals.

A cognitive humanoid head is an AI enabled head-bot platform that resembles human's cognitive abilities, such as perception, thinking, learning, and decision-making. The platform is able to interact with human through natural language processing and recognize individuals, thus allowing seamless communication between two parties. No such cognitive platform has been introduced in Bangladesh, thus creating an open field to contribute to the field of Machine Intelligence. This study aims to develop an AI based humanoid head (head-bot) capable of imitating a range of expressions, recognizing individuals, and interacts with visitors through general conversation. The head-bot skeleton is developed using a number of hexagonal blocks of PVC sheet to mimic a human-head-like structure where LCD, camera, microphones, and speaker are mounted. Two separate Machine Learning models are designed for face detection and recognitions, and voice enabled chat-bot implementation. The head-bot platform incorporates 2-DoF neck movements for various head gestures and face tracking. The Artificial Neural Network models are tested with accuracy of 95.05%, and 99.0%, for face detection and recognitions, and speech recognitions and response generation, respectively. According to the overall results and system performances, it seems that the proposed system has a number of good potentials for real life applications such as entertainment, guidance, conversations, interactive receptionists, personal companion, medical assistance, and so on.

O presente artigo apresenta e problematiza diferentes ontologias e epistemologias construídas por povos e culturas diferentes, se propondo a uma comparação entre elas no tocante a questões éticas e ecológicas contemporâneas à luz da história do colonialismo. Iniciamos com a análise da ontologia cartesiana, apresentada no argumento do Cogito. A crítica ao pensamento da modernidade europeia será feita a com o aporte dos filósofos Enrique Dussel e Ramón Grosfoguel, na linha de pensamento conhecida como decolonial. O ecólogo ocidental Odum também será mobilizado para pensar as bases ontológicas de uma ecologia contemporânea em oposição à modernidade. Por fim, trabalharemos pensamentos não ocidentais a partir Ailton Krenak e Davi Kopenawa, que trarão definições de vida, humanidade e natureza muito diferentes em relação às definições ocidentais, sejam essas filosóficas ou científicas.

O visagismo é uma ferramenta estética muita acurada, e desejamos, neste espaço, apontar para possibilidades teórico e metodológicas de utilizá-la como operacionalizável para a análise social, como uma ferramenta de pesquisa. Mais especificamente, vamos focar no conceito de transição capilar no filme “Felicidade por um fio” (2018), analisado segundo os  indicadores configuração capilar, rosto e contexto. Os resultados apontam para o visagismo apontando para uma ética da autenticidade, no qual cruzam-se referências históricas, psicológicas e culturais, evidenciados por meio do trânsito da protagonista entre o grupo materno (o da sua socialização primária) para outro grupo mais voltado para a ancestralidade.
Meu cabelo conta história: uma reflexão sobre as capilaridades crespas no contexto afro-dias´pórico
Authors: Santos Luane Bento dos
Published: December 2023

Este ensaio tem por objetivo apresentar um breve panorama sobre os significados políticos, culturais, socioeconômicos dado aos cabelos afro no contexto do território diaspórico africano brasileiro e da América Afrolatina. Entendemos que no contexto afro-diaspórico os valores sociais e culturais atribuídos aos cabelos sofreram ao longo do tempo diversas significações desde período escravocrata, contudo não deixaram de ser elementos importantes para a construção corporéa e identitária dos indivíduos negros na contemporaneidade. A partir de investigação etnográfica realizada com trancistas afro em salões de beleza étnico na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ, Brasil) e revisão de literatura, notamos que além de um abrangente histórico de uso dos cabelos afro, os estilos dos cabelos adotados pelos afrodescendentes podem remeter a uma linguagem política, religiosa, familiar e estarem inscritos em contexto de sociabilidade negra. O ensaio é resultante de pesquisa mais extensa realizada para conclusão de tese de doutorado em Ciências Sociais.
Challenges Facing the Understanding the Eucharist as Sacrifice Among the Luo Catholics of Homa Bay Diocese, Kenya
Authors: Nyandiwa Chrispine Ouma
Published: December 2023

One of the perennial anxieties of human beings is the need for peace, prosperity, and harmony in society, where people can truly accomplish their God-given mission in life. In other words, there is a human yearning for an environment, where life can be honourably celebrated in its fullness even while awaiting its ultimate consummation. Both the African traditional believer and the Christian in their quest for the realization of such a noble aim and desire have often identified sacrifice and appeasement as cardinal instruments of societal transformation. For them to appreciate this full life and total wellbeing, both the African and the Christian know they must keep in close touch with the Supreme Being who is the author of life and the determiner of destiny, by maintaining the various opportunities of regular communication and dialogue with the supernatural world through sacrifices. Sacrifice is the heartbeat of every religious ritual. This study seeks to establish why some Luo Catholics still value their traditional sacrifice instead of fully manifesting their beliefs in the Eucharistic sacrifice. Do they still find something valuable in it which seems to be lacking in the Eucharist sacrifice? When confronted by stressful events, many Luo Catholics often abandon coping strategies and revert to patterns of behaviour used earlier in development, especially the traditional sacrificial system. In doing this, the person ends up practicing two different forms of religion. The study also seeks to bring out the Luo cultural elements which can be inculturated within the Eucharistic sacrifice so that the Luo Catholics may practice their faith fully, consciously and actively, instead of indulging him/herself in syncretistic tendencies.

IGBO CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANAGEMENT THEORY
Authors: Nwakoby Nkiru Peace  , Ihediwa Augustina Anekperechi
Published: December 2023

The impression that Africans had no roots or contributions to modern-day management practices has persisted for a while. However, the Igbo people in Nigeria had their own management practice and leadership styles that were peculiar to them before the emergence of the management theories, which was why the Igbos were able to survive the indirect rule and brutal economic exploitation during the colonial era, and immediately after the civil war. This study, therefore, examined the role Igbo culture played in the development of management theories. The study specifically identified some specific Igbo cultural practice and their managerial implications and aligned some Igbo cultural practices to existing modern-day leadership theories. The literature of the study looked at the Igbo race as a people, examined culture, explained some management theories, the Igbo cultural practice and leadership theories, Igbo cultural practices and their managerial implications and Igbo cultural practices and modern day leadership theories. The study used the matching methods as the research design. The idea involved was to basically find commonalities between chosen management theories and the leadership styles of the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria. Mostly secondary sources of data were deployed for this purpose.  The study also employed a qualitative methodology and a narrative analysis technique. It was revealed from the findings that before the introduction of modern-day management theory, Igbo culture had been practising the relevant leadership style that was propounded by great thinkers of management such as management by objective (Izuora), Management by exception (Izundiichie), Motivation (ituni muo/ Ikwanye ugwu), Transformational leadership (Ibezimako), Contingencies Leadership (Igbo enweze) and Transactional leadership (Echichi/ochanja/imapu na iwu).

The change from the 2013 curriculum to an independent curriculum presents new problems for teachers in learning activities. This research aims to find out what problems occur in implementing the Everyone Is A Teacher Here method at SMK Negeri 1 Banyudono and what solutions can be made. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative research with data sources namely Islamic Religious Education teachers and students of class students themselves and are embarrassed to express their opinion, the teacher as a facilitator does not work well, and learning time is limited. The solution to overcome this problem is: the teacher must be able to increase students' interest and motivation in learning, allow students to search for answers in books or the internet, the teacher provides reading references other than the module and divides the class into two groups.
Ecology of the Music Mind. On the Idea of “the Binding Pattern” in Christopher Small’s Concept of Musicking
Authors:   Radio Orpheus, Tsvetkovskaya T.A.
Published: December 2023

The aim of this article is to analyse key aspects of the concept of musicking. Despite the fact that this term, coined by Christopher Small, has firmly entrenched in the scientific community, the context in which it is used does not reflect the nature of the neologism. The premise of Small’s word-making was the absence of a verbal noun corresponding to “music-making” in the English vocabulary. However, musicking is not the same as music-making. Unexpected semantic connections are also found when comparing the term musicking with the concept of “musurgia” used in medieval treatises. Small deliberately declined direct copying — the very process of creating the term determined his way of thinking. Not only did he modify the concept of the nature of music-making, expand the list of its participants, identify equivalent forms with specific features, but he also recognised musicking as a comprehensive phenomenon, specifically as musical art in the unity of its manifestations. To prove his point of view, Small appealed to the authority of Gregory Bateson, using the concept of “the binding pattern” borrowed from anthropology as the central element of the concept of musicking. Meanwhile, Small only outlined the boundaries of its use, though he intuitively sensed its limitless potential. In addition, his idea of the pattern as a multidimensional system of relations fundamentally differs from the interpretations accepted in musical art. According to Small’s hypothesis, when a piece of music is performed, all participants, including listeners, are able to “recognise” the metaphor of “the binding pattern”, which allows interpreting participation in musicking as a process of decoding vital information. In this situation, it seems logical to refer directly to Bateson’s works, as well as to the works of others, who pointed out the similarity of internal laws of the world of nature and the world of art. Such an angle will help us to reveal the uniqueness of Small’s concept and to justify the use of the term musicking as a tool of scientific analysis.
The Arbuzov Studio (1938–1945): Gaideburov’s Trace
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Mashukova A.V.
Published: December 2023

This research focuses on the influence that the pedagogical work of P.P. Gaideburov and N.F. Skarskaya, the directors of the Peredvizhny Public Theatre, had in the 1920s on the activities of the Moscow State Theatre Studio run by Aleksei Arbuzov and Valentin Pluchek (or, as it is more informally known, the Arbuzov Studio). The Peredvizhny Theatre existed in St. Petersburg — Petrograd — Leningrad for 23 years. During this period, its directors Pavel Gaideburov and Nadezhda Skarskaya trained many students, including the playwright Aleksei Arbuzov. At the age of 17, he was trained at the Palaestra, a studio of the Peredvizhny Theatre, in the socalled “Skarskaya method”, a system of developing creative thinking in actors through improvisation. In the late 1930s, A.N. Arbuzov and V.N. Pluchek reproduced this method in their own way while working with the students of the Arbuzov studio. The result was the play A City at Dawn, telling the story of the construction of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, written collectively by the students on the basis of improvisational etudes. The article is the first to publish the exercises of N.F. Skarskaya’s method, practiced in the Palaestra, as well as the sketches of the Arbuzov studio. This allows us to analyse how the memory of the destroyed culture was preserved in the USSR during the period of the Great Terror (both the Peredvizhny Theatre and the Palaestra were liquidated in 1928), as well as to build a sequence from the theatrical experiments of the Silver Age to the playwrights of the Thaw.
Addresses of the First St. Petersburg Artists in 1703–1741
Authors:   Sverdlovsk Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia, Ainutdinov A.S.
Published: December 2023

The foundation of St. Petersburg as the new capital of the Russian state in the 18th century was inextricably linked with the attraction of artists who brought social, cultural and propaganda benefits, being a special category of urban residents performing important work. Over the decades, as the city grew, on its map there appeared addresses related to the life and work of numerous painters, graphic artists, sculptors, and architects who cast their lot with St. Petersburg for a limited time or forever. In this article, for the first time in Russian art history and St. Petersburg local history, the author carries out a task of historical identification, systematization and description of urban places where homes, workshops, and craft unions of both the first Russian and foreign artists living in the new capital of the Russian state in 1703–1741 were located. The article will be of interest to historians of Russian art, specialists in Russian history of the 18th century, local historians, museum workers, and guides.
Griboyedov’s “Code” in Russian Musicology (A.S. Griboyedov, M.D. Rezvoy, V.F. Odoevsky)
Authors:   Russian Institute of Art History, Seregina N.S.
Published: December 2023

One of Griboyedov’s unrealised lines of work shaped by his musical talents was his interest in the foundations of musical science. Griboyedov’s scholarly ideas about the value-based content of music, musical theory and terminology, and his interest in musical ethnography were implemented by his younger contemporaries and companions V.F. Odoyevsky and M.D. Rezvoy. The moments of mutual influence between Griboyedov and Odoyevsky are revealed in their epistolary contacts. The contacts between Griboyedov and Rezvoy can be apprehended through the 1825 pencil portrait of Griboyedov by Rezvoy. The range of ideas expressed by Griboyedov was later continued by Rezvoy and Odoyevsky. Griboedov’s “code” in Russian musical art — attention to the history of Russia, the science of music, folk theater, folk song, the high sphere of temple art — was translated into the social, scientific, and artistic activities of his companions and followers.
Pages of the History of the Creation of the Cantata Moscow by P.I. Tchaikovsky: Unpublished Correspondence between the Composer and P.A. Richter
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Skvirskaya T.Z. ,   Mikhailovsky Theatre
Published: December 2023

The article for the first time publishes the correspondence of P. I. Tchaikovsky with the Chairman of the Coronation Commission P. A. Richter, connected with the history of the cantata Moscow. This work for soloists, choir, and orchestra to the text by A. N. Maikov was written by Tchaikovsky on the order of the Coronation Commission and was first performed on the day of the solemn coronation of Emperor Alexander III on May 15 (27), 1883. Richter’s letters and telegrams to Tchaikovsky are stored in the Tchaikovsky State Memorial Musical Museum-Reserve in Klin, they have been mentioned in literature but have not been published. It was Richter who on March 4 (16), 1883 turned to the composer, who was then in Paris, with a request to compose a coronation cantata. Response letters and telegrams from Tchaikovsky to Richter, previously unknown, were discovered by the author of the article in 2022 in the Russian State Historical Archives (St. Petersburg). In total, ten archival documents are introduced into scientific circulation, including six unpublished texts by Tchaikovsky: four letters and two telegrams. The correspondence covers the period from March 4 (16) to April 17 (29), 1883. The published epistolary documents are provided with historical and textual-critical comments. The telegrams of both correspondents are presented in the French original and translated into Russian. Tchaikovsky’s correspondence with Richter and comments on it reveal the details of the history of the creation and first performance of the cantata Moscow, the pages of the history of its manuscript and new facts of the composer’s biography. The correspondence materials are a valuable source for restoring the creative history of the cantata as part of the preparation of a new critical edition of this work in Academic Complete Works of P. I. Tchaikovsky.
Visualization in Song and Poetry Culture
Authors:   Bryansk Branch of Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation, Gavrikov V.A.
Published: December 2023

On the one hand, the article is of an overview nature. It deals with modern ideas of Russian and foreign science on the role of visuality in modern culture. The popular thesis that modern culture is primarily visual is questioned. The visual component is shown to have already played a significant role in relict pre-literature forms. Many branches of knowledge, such as the philological profile, still study the intermedial arts without taking into account their complex nature. The article presents the history of the study of this problem in the context of research on author’s songs and rock culture. On the other hand, the article has got a practical part, where the theses stated are illustrated with specific material. According to the author’s hypothesis, the bards have devised various strategies for developing visual space over the decades of the existence of this phenomenon. The work with visual content within a music video is illustrated on the materials of two takes of the song “Morning Gymnastics” by Vladimir Vysotsky (the videos were made by the Hungarian Television in 1974). The poet employs two “types” of sign and scenographic visualization, i.e. the ones with theatrical and sports connotations. The strategy of developing the visuality in rock poetry is presented by the example of the concert by Alexander Bashlachev taken place at Boris Grebenshchikov’s* in 1986. Due to the poet’s performance without accompanists, the emphasis is made on gestures, primarily on the eye ones, appealing to the top of the ontological vertical. The deep and diverse connections to the Bashlachev’s poetic text are shown. * Recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent
Geochemistry of Neoproterozoic Nagod Limestones from the Girgita Mine, Bhander Group, Madhya Pradesh, India

Vindhyan limestone of the Bander Group (Late Neoproterozoic) in the Maihar area, Satna district, is a part of an anticlinal fold and it forms an outlier in the study area. Geochemical analysis reveals that the proportion of Rare Earth Elements (REEs; La-Lu) in limestones varies between 14.8 ppm and 49.5 ppm. The Eu and Ce anomalies (normalized against Post Archean Australian Shale; PAAS) range from ~ 0.53 to 0.69 and ~ 0.57 to 1.07, respectively. The results of this study revealed that the limestones were principally controlled by the admixture of detrital materials, i.e., (i) The low values of REEs (ii) high values of Y/Ho (iii) positive correlation between REEs and Si, Al, Ti, V, Co, Ni, and Nb, and (iv) slightly negative correlation between CaO and REEs. Further, the variations in Ce anomaly may be due to the influx of detrital materials and positive Ce anomaly was attributable to the shallow marine depositional condition. The distribution of REEs (Chondrite normalized values) illustrates different patterns in the Nagod limestone due to the degree of differentiation in terms of LREEs and HREEs and Eu anomaly. The variations in elemental concentrations and the REE patterns revealed the mixing of detrital materials in the Nagod limestones.
