EKONOMİK ÖZGÜRLÜKLERİN İNSANİ GELİŞMİŞLİK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: VISEGRAD DÖRTLÜSÜ KAPSAMINDA PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ
Authors: Çoban Mustafa Necati
Published: February 2020

Ekonomik özgürlüklerin ekonomik büyüme ve insani gelişme üzerine olan etkileri sıklıkla araştırılan konulardan birisidir. Bireylerin iktisadi davranış ve faaliyetlerine herhangi bir sınırlama getirilmemesini savunan ekonomik özgürlüklerin ülkelerin ekonomik ve sosyal refahını artırdığı ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada ekonomik özgürlüklerin refah göstergelerinden insani gelişmişlik üzerine olan etkisi araştırılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Visegrad Dörtlüsü olarak ta nitelendirilen Çekya, Macaristan, Slovakya ve Polonya ülkelerinde 1995-2014 yılları arası veriler kullanılarak dengeli panel veri analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada insani gelişmişlik göstergesi olarak UNDP tarafından yayınlanan İnsani Gelişme Endeksi ve ekonomik özgürlük göstergeleri olarak ta Heritage Foundation tarafından yayınlanan Ekonomik Özgürlük Endeksi ve alt endekslerinden Parasal Özgürlük Endeksi ve Mülkiyet Hakları Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Kontrol değişkenleri olarak ta kamu sağlık harcamalarının GSYİH içindeki payı, kamu eğitim harcamalarının GSYİH içindeki payı ve enflasyon oranı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Visegrad ülkelerinde ekonomik özgürlüklerin insani gelişmişlik seviyesini olumlu yönde etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
Umbro Apollonio e l’archivio della Biennale di Venezia (1948-1972)
Authors: Pajusco Vittorio
Published: February 2020

In 1948 Rodolfo Pallucchini requested the collaboration of Umbro Apollonio to organize the 24th Venice Biennale. In 1949 the critic became the permanent curator of the Historical Archive of Contemporary Art (The Biennale Archive). First of all Apollonio organized the archival documentation of the Biennale and for this reason he thought of a new project for the library and the archive: to realize it he previously entrusted with the architect Carlo Scarpa and then with BBPR Group. After the great disorders of the 1968 edition, in 1970 Apollonio became Bienniale director. He curated with Dietrich Mahlow the special exhibition «Proposal for an experimental exhibition». On this occasion, a strong dialogue with the public was sought, focusing on issues such as art and society, art and production, analysis of seeing. The result was an exhibition holding arts from historical avant-garde to the most recent researches.
Narcissus Garden for Sale: «one piece 2 dollars»
Yayoi Kusama alla Biennale di Venezia nel 1966
Authors: Portinari Stefania
Published: February 2020

Things that do not exist or should not exist and ‘ghetto exhibitions’ mark some counterpoints on the presence of female artists and on first performance actions at Venice Biennale in the 1960s and the 1970s. Yayoi Kusama, who created Narcissus Garden without being invited in 1966; Marina Abramović and Ulay, invited for the first time in 1976 but in an external venue; and Paula Claire’s action, between others, at the exhibition Materializzazioni del Linguaggio curated in 1978 by Mirella Bentivoglio, mark two crucial decades of increasingly contemporary trend at the Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte of Venice. This essay connects new relationships between Yayoi Kusama presence, art galleries in New York City, Milan, Venice and other main characters in the art system of the 1960s.
Altera pars laboris

Published: February 2020

La ricerca nel campo dell'epigrafia si arricchisce continuamente con la scoperta di documenti inediti e vive oggi un radicale rinnovamento grazie alle tecnologie digitali. Una componente fondamentale del «mestiere di epigrafista» è però costituita anche dalla ricostruzione filologica e dall'indagine delle figure che si cimentarono nella collazione dei testimoni delle iscrizioni antiche. Il volume comprende sedici saggi di studiosi italiani e francesi, dedicati all'esame della tradizione manoscritta e a stampa dell'epigrafia, che Theodor Mommsen definì la «parte più difficile» della disciplina. Dai tesori ancora nascosti in numerose biblioteche d'Europa emerge un quadro di grande ricchezza documentaria, che presagisce un enorme potenziale di sviluppo per la ricerca futura.
Bibliotheca epigraphica manuscripta: dal 1881 a oggi
Authors: Buoncore Marco
Published: February 2020

In his well-known Denkschrift (1847), Theodor Mommsen, by then not yet thirty years old, focused on researching extensively the manuscript collections of various libraries, making order in the jumble of papers (Papierwust) dispersed in archival holdings; in short, he was aiming at a systematic ordering, above all for a correct definition of a titulus genuinus and a titulus falsus, a problem with which his scholarly research was always concerned, even in its most minute details. In 1881, Mommsen promoted the foundation of a Bibliotheca epigraphica manuscripta, which should have indexed and described the enormous quantity of handwritten witnesses of Latin inscriptions scattered through various institutions, public and private. One wonders about the possibilities of starting such a pioneering Mommsenian project anew, creating a shared database, through the synergy of the libraries and universities that have shown interest towards this specific research field.
L’apport des manuscrits de Joseph-Marie de Suarès (1599-1677) à l’élaboration du Corpus des inscriptions latines de Vaison-la-Romaine et de son territoire
Authors: Rémy Bernard
Published: February 2020

Joseph-Marie de Suarès (1599-1677), Bishop of Vaison (1633-66), made a substantial contribution to the study of the epigraphy of the Vocontii. His works are gathered in several manuscripts of which the most important are the Codices Barberini and the Codices Vaticani. In incorporating the unspecified pieces, he has counted sixty-seven inscriptions in Vaison and twenty-six in its nearby territory, that is ninety-three texts. Since his death, a great number of the listed inscriptions have been lost. For the town of Vaison only seventeen texts have survived, as well as eight for its territory. It is a tremendous loss, especially since fifty-five at least are only known from Suarès.
Pirro Ligorio et « l’histoire secrète » de la restauration de l’Acqua Vergine sous le pontificat de Pie IV (1559-1565)
Authors: Vagenheim Ginette
Published: February 2020

After the catastrophic Tiber flood of 1557, hydraulic engineering projects became a major focus of urban reform in Rome during the 1560s. Massive public works were commissioned, namely the reconstruction of the acqueduct called Acqua Vergine. This project produced numerous discussions and writings by individuals, of both learned and practical backgrounds like the engineer Antonio Trevisi (d.1564), the jurist and Roman magistrate Luca Peto (1512-81) and the antiquarian Pirro Ligorio. In their writings, they proposed solutions influenced by their study of literary texts and investigations. The goal was to attract the prestigious patronage of pope Pius IV, in a context of conflicts due to the governance of Rome by the papacy and, on the other hand, the communal government. In 1560, Trevisi obtained the contract, but the project failed due to the difficulty of finding funds and to financial malpractice. Under pope Pius V, the repair resumed, and in 1570, the aqueduct was fully restored. Between Trevisi’s failure and the restoration of the Acqua Vergine, Ligorio’s contribution, preserved in his encyclopedia on ‘Roman antiquites’, lies completely overlooked. I propose to study it, showing some fundamental innovations put forward by the antiquarian in documenting through his drawings the restoration of the Acqua Vergine.

Clinical Considerations and Exercise Responses of Patients with Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction: What Have We Learned in 20 Years?
Authors: Brubaker Peter H. , Tucker Wesley J. , Haykowsky Mark J.
Published: February 2020

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for approximately 50% of all heart failure (HF) cases and is the fastest growing form of HF in the United States. The cornerstone symptom of clinically stable HFpEF is severe exercise intolerance (defined as reduced peak exercise oxygen uptake, VO2peak) secondary to central and peripheral abnormalities that result in reduced oxygen delivery to and/or use by exercising skeletal muscle. To date, pharmacotherapy has not been shown to improve VO2peak, quality of life, and survival in patients with HFpEF. In contrast, exercise training is currently the only efficacious treatment strategy to improve VO2peak, aerobic endurance, and quality of life in patients with HFpEF. In this updated review, we discuss the specific central and peripheral mechanisms that are responsible for the impaired exercise responses as well as the role of exercise training to improve VO2peak in clinically stable patients with HFpEF. We also discuss the central and peripheral adaptations that contribute to the exercise training-mediated improvement in VO2peak in HFpEF. Finally, we provide clinical exercise physiologists with evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines to assist with the safe implementation of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs in clinically stable patients with HFpEF.

Dead wood is a key forest structural component for maintaining biodiversity and storing carbon. Despite its important role in a forest ecosystem, quantifying dead wood alongside standing trees has often neglected when investigating the feasibility of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in forest inventories. The objective of this study was therefore to develop an automatic method for detecting and characterizing downed dead wood with a diameter exceeding 5 cm using multi-scan TLS data. The developed four-stage algorithm included 1) RANSAC-cylinder filtering, 2) point cloud rasterization, 3) raster image segmentation, and 4) dead wood trunk positioning. For each detected trunk, geometry-related quality attributes such as dimensions and volume were automatically determined from the point cloud. For method development and validation, reference data were collected from 20 sample plots representing diverse southern boreal forest conditions. Using the developed method, the downed dead wood trunks were detected with an overall completeness of 33% and correctness of 76%. Up to 92% of the downed dead wood volume were detected at plot level with mean value of 68%. We were able to improve the detection accuracy of individual trunks with visual interpretation of the point cloud, in which case the overall completeness was increased to 72% with mean proportion of detected dead wood volume of 83%. Downed dead wood volume was automatically estimated with an RMSE of 15.0 m3/ha (59.3%), which was reduced to 6,4 m3/ha (25.3%) as visual interpretation was utilized to aid the trunk detection. The reliability of TLS-based dead wood mapping was found to increase as the dimensions of dead wood trunks increased. Dense vegetation caused occlusion and reduced the trunk detection accuracy. Therefore, when collecting the data, attention must be paid to the point cloud quality. Nevertheless, the results of this study strengthen the feasibility of TLS-based approaches in mapping biodiversity indicators by demonstrating an improved performance in quantifying ecologically most valuable downed dead wood in diverse forest conditions.

Rhythm, synchrony, and cooperation [Stage 1 Registered Report]
Authors: Savage Patrick E. , Yamauchi Momoka , Hamaguchi Miri , Tarr Bronwyn , Kitayama Yoichi , Fujii Shinya
Published: February 2020

Previous research suggests that synchronization is a key mechanism facilitating interpersonal cooperation, and rhythmic synchronization to a regular beat is a key feature distinguishing music from language. However, whether synchronization to a regular musical beat enhances cooperation relative to a linguistic control without a regular beat remains debated and has not yet been demonstrated experimentally. We will compare the effects of reciting familiar lyrics (“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”) with and without synchronization to a musical beat on willingness to cooperate (as measured by a public goods game and by attitudinal self-report) for n=200 participants. The results of this Registered Report will provide evidence regarding the existence of causal relationships between music, language, synchrony, and cooperation. This will have important theoretical implications for understanding the origins of music and language, as well as practical implications regarding the use of music to enhance cooperation in contemporary society.
The benefits of preregistration for hypothesis-driven bilingualism research
Authors: Mertzen Daniela , Lago Sol , Vasishth Shravan
Published: February 2020

Preregistration is an open science practice that requires the specification of research hypotheses and analysis plans before the data are inspected. Here, we discuss the benefits of preregistration for hypothesis-driven, confirmatory bilingualism research. Using examples from psycholinguistics and bilingualism, we illustrate how preregistration serves to implement a clean distinction between hypothesis testing and data exploration. This distinction helps researchers avoid casting post-hoc hypotheses and analyses as confirmatory ones. We argue that, in keeping with current best practices in the experimental sciences, preregistration, along with sharing data and code, should be an integral part of hypothesis-driven bilingualism research.
The evolution of social cognition: the case of animal cooperative problem solving
Authors: Ostojic Ljerka
Published: February 2020

A major research area in non-human social cognition is the investigation of cooperative problem solving, i.e. the cognition involved in situations when animals cooperate with each other. Social cognition is thought to have evolved due to the demands of social living, and is often thought to present an adaptive specialisation for living in groups. A previous analysis of social learning, another area of social cognition, has highlighted how this has consequently led to two overarching biases in the literature: firstly, a bias towards testing only social species, and secondly, an a priori assumption that social learning is qualitatively different from learning involved in non-social situations. The problem of these biases may not restricted to social learning but be present also in other areas of social cognition research. Applying an equivalent analysis to cooperative problem solving shows that here too both biases are present. Firstly, empirical studies on cooperative problem solving primarily conducted with social species and species that exhibit cooperative behaviours in the wild. Secondly, the assumption that cooperative problem solving relies on a distinctly socialcognitive ability can, at least implicitly, be observed throughout the literature. Thismay be the result of confounding different components of the cognitive process involved in cooperation: what information is required to successfully cooperate and how this information is acquired. While the former needs to involve information about another individual, there is no indication that the latter is required to differ from any known, domain-general cognitive mechanism. These two biases make it difficult to systematically test whether and how cooperation differs between species, and as such impede investigations into the evolution of cooperative problem solving.
What factors predict the self-identification of drug dependency among criminal justice populations? Prevalence, correlates, and implications for the criminal justice system
Authors: Langfield Cameron Thomas , Payne Jason Leslie
Published: February 2020

The drug-crime nexus has long received international interest from both drug-crime scholars and public policy experts worldwide. While there is little disagreement that more frequent drug use is linked to higher rates of crime the causal underpinnings of this relationship remain hotly contested. One area of increasing interest among criminological, social, and psychological scholars alike is the confounding influence and power of ‘identity’ in shaping the long-term behavioural trajectories of both drug use and crime. In this study, we explore the prevalence with which recent drug using police detainees self-identify as drug dependent and, using logistic regression, we model self-identification as a function of one’s demographic, and drug use profile. We find that, after controlling for type, frequency, and longevity of drug use, being female and younger is associated with an increased odds of self-identifying as drug dependent. Further, we find that despite using drugs at the same frequency and for the same length of time, heroin and other opiate users are the most likely to self-identify. To end, the potential implications of these results are discussed, and future research avenues are explored.

Employee Engagement and Organizational Performance of Public Enterprises in Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Rupa
Published: February 2020

Background: 'Employee Engagement’ has been a considerable topic in the public sector. It is a buzz word that managers think they understand, but face difficulties and challenges while practicing.

Objective: This study aims that employee engagement impacts on organizational performance in some extent. Drawing on theory “Employee Engagement and Higher Work Ethic", (The Gallup Organization, 2013), this study examines the relation between employee engagement and organizational outcome.

Methodology: Based on descriptive analysis, this study consisted officer level employees from Tribhuvan University from 49 campuses and offices as respondents. The data was collected through 115 set of structured questionnaires during last three months of 2075 BS and It used descriptive and inferential statistics tools to analyze the data.

Result: It was hypothesized that the employee engagement was positively related to the organizational performance with liking of work force diversity. It is revealed that majority employees of TU are engaged with work and organization as well. During the analysis, the hypothesis was supported with 0.505r2 (50 percentages). It was also found that explanatory and dependent variables are correlated with 0.696.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is significant relation between organizational performance and employee engagement. Employees, who are engaged with jobs can understand social cues among the others thus they can choose the way to improve social skills in order to achieve organizational goals. This study also complies that the relation between employee engagement and performance is diverse as per work force patterns in work place.

Implication: This research stimulates researchers to begin to think about how employee engagement relates to HR and organizational outcome. Public enterprises should always try to make employees engaged and transform not engaged and disengaged employees to engaged ones which ultimately leads to enhance organizational culture.
Extraordinarily Large Malignant Extra Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor Presenting as an Abdominal Mass
Authors: Paudyal P , Subba TN , Pradhan A , Dhakal S , Karki S , Paudyal P
Published: February 2020

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare of all gastrointestinal neoplasms with histology and immunohistochemistry similar to gastrointestinal stromal tumors. They occur outside the gastrointestinal tract rarely and are, hence, called the extra gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST). Herein, we report a rare case of malignant extra intestinal gastrointestinal tumor.

Case report: A 39 yr old female presented to the surgical OPD with a lump in the abdomen since 4 months. We received a lobulated tumor which measured 40x25x20 cm3 and showed capsule. Cut surface was predominantly solid, grey white with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis along with cystic areas. Histopathology and immunohisto chemistry revealed it to be a malignant EGIST of mesentery because of no continuity of the tumor with the small intestine microscopically.

Conclusion: EGIST is a rare no epithelial tumor of mesentery. Omentum histopathological examination is a standard technique to diagnose the tumor and to differentiate it immunohistochemically from other tumors having similar morphology. Correct diagnosis plays valuable role in the treatment.

Published: February 2020

Objective: To describe the management, complications and prognosis of lacrimalprobing in patients with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO).

Materials and Methods: Retrospective, observational and analytical study. We studied the prevalence, symptoms and signs, both before and after probing, in patients with CNLDO diagnosed between 2010 and 2017 at Instituto Fundación Conde deValenciana.

Results: The prevalence at our hospital of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children less than 1 year of age was 16.1%. 71 eyes of 56 patients undergoing probing were analyzed. 61% of patients were male. The right eye was affected in 46.4%.The average age of diagnosis of CNLDO was 10.2±7.6 months. 84.5% consulted for excessive tearing and 73.2% because of eye discharge. On ophthalmological examination, 71.8% had increased tear meniscus and 45.1% had discharge from punctum when digital pressure was applied to the lacrimal sac. The average age at the time of probing was 14.1±8.4 months. Subsequent to the probing, only 21.1% reported presence of tearing and 5.6% reported ocular discharge, both with a statistically significant reduction (p<0.05 from pre-op). After probing, only 16.9% of eyes had increased tear meniscus and 11.3% presented discharge from punctum after pressure at the lacrimal sac. Both decreases were statistically significant (p<0.05). 2 eyes (2.82%)of 2 patients required a second probing to obtain full resolution.

Conclusion: Probing was successful in 76.1% of eyes. Success was observed even inpatients over 2 years of age. There was a statistically significant decrease of both signs and symptoms of CNLDO with lacrimal probing.
Recurrent scleral patch graft shrinkage and Ahmed valve tube exposure
Authors: Mansoori Tarannum
Published: February 2020

Aim: To report a case of recurrent Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) tube exposure dueto scleral patch graft (SPG) melt

Background: AGV is a useful modality in the management of medically refractory glaucoma. Human donor SPG has been employed to cover the external portion of the tube to prevent its exposure.

Case Description : A 23 year old male with Anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL)had undergone retinal detachment (RD) surgery with silicone oil insertion (SOI)followed by SO removal (SOR), re- RD and SO re-injection, followed by implantation of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) for uncontrolled glaucoma in the right eye. Three months after the AGV implantation, he presented with exposure of the subconjuctival portion of AGV tube with melted, displaced and shrunk donor sclera graft, which was managed by placing larger sized, full thickness, donor scleral patch graft (SPG) over the exposed tube. Six months later, he presented again with tube exposure and the donor SPG was found to be retracted nasally and shrunk to one fourth of its original size. The AC portion of the tube was blocked by the SO bubble and the emulsified SO could be seen inside the exposed tube. The patient underwent SOR with tube explanation and intraocular pressure was later controlled with transscleral cyclophotocoagulation and medical management.

Conclusion : SPG thinning and the overlying conjunctival erosion can occur after the AGV implantation. This can cause AGV tube exposure and hence, long - term patient follow up is essential to ensure timely identification of this possible complication and prompt treatment.

This research aimed to find out more specifically about the recruitment process of legislative candidates by analyzing the processes and mechanisms conducted by Prosperous Justice Party in the face of legislative elections in 2009 in Medan. This study successfully demonstrated that the quality of PKS candidates are good enough when viewed from the level of education that almost all legislative candidates PKS is a graduate degree and some have passed the postgraduate level. PKS has two times following the general election after changing the name, so that from the experience, candidates for legislative members of PKS has experienced enough, considering that there are also some legislative candidate who was also member of the previous legislature. Personally, the popularity of candidates for legislative members of PKS is not so high, but PKS as an institution has a high popularity in the community. PKS candidates recruitment process is closed, causing the PKS tends to be more exclusive. This is because efforts to preserve the Islamic ideology as the party with the good succession planning, so that the selection of candidates is highly selective made PKS as a form of consistency to the ideology of the party, and regarded as a cadre of people capable of carrying the PKS remain as party da’wah in the political life of the state.

Adaptirani poljoprivredni traktori u širokoj su uporabi, posebice u zemljama u razvoju, kao učinkovita sredstva za prijevoz trupaca ili debla od mjesta sječe do stovarišta. U ovom istraživanju procijenjena je proizvodnost adaptiranog poljoprivrednog traktora s jednobubanjskim vitlom smještenim s prednje strane vozila. Ukupni troškovi tog sustava (traktora i vitla) iznose otprilike 19580 € (Eura). Primijenjena je studija rada i vremena povratnom metodom tijekom dvofazne operacije privlačenja drva. Ispitani su učinci glavnih čimbenika kao što su promjer, visina, obujam i udaljenost privlačenja drva na ukupno vrijeme rada te je napravljena linearna regresijska analiza kako bi se razvio matematički model privlačenja drva. Podaci iz studije vremena pokazali su da privitlavanje debla do primarnog sakupljališta zahtijeva najviše vremena tijekom samog privitlavanja drva uzbrdo, dok je privlačenje debla do stovarišta zahtijevalo najviše vremena tijekom privlačenja drva općenito. Prosječna je proizvodnost sakupljanja drva uz nagib 12.98 m3/sat, a privlačenje drva kretanjem unatrag 14.30 m3/sat. Troškovi sakupljanja drva vitlom uz nagib iznose 10.77 €/sat, a privlačenje drva 11.87 €/sat. Može se zaključiti da se hidraulički sustav s jednobubanjskim vitlom, postavljen s prednje strane adaptiranog poljoprivrednog traktora, može koristiti kao alternativna oprema za pridobivanje drva, posebice kod operacija privitlavanja uzbrdo.

U radu je prikazana metoda procjene rekreacijskog potencijala urbanih šuma u odnosu na funkcionalne sposobnosti šumskih sastojina za rekreaciju kao praktičnog alata za upravljanje urbanim šumama i uređenju krajobraza. Jedan od glavnih zadataka ovog istraživanja bio je primijeniti razumljive pokazatelje običnim korisnicima. Ovaj aspekt je važan, jer omogućava primjenu metode širokom krugu korisnika. Na primjer, upravitelji mogu procijeniti urbanu šumu u smislu njezine pogodnosti za rekreaciju. Test izrađene metodologije (studija slučaja u šumi „Horský park“, Bratislava, Slovačka) pokazuje pogodnost vrednovanja rekreacijskih namjena urbanih šuma. Obilježja svakog pojedinog indikatora određuju načine za povećanje rekreacijske vrijednosti urbanih šuma, a mogu se koristiti i u svrhu njihovog održivog upravljanja.

Topicality. Since, according to the strategy of the state environmental policy of Ukraine for the period till 2030, one of the root causes of Ukraine's environmental problems is an inefficient system of public administration in the field of environmental protection, monitoring of its state, regulation of the use of natural resources and ensuring environmental safety, the question of improving information support of the country is especially relevant.Aim and tasks are to address the problems of processing and presenting environmental information in the context of Ukraine's international activity and to identify the country's real capabilities in providing environmentally valuable data in accordance with European requirements.Research results. The study outlines major international projects aimed at improving statistical support in the field of ecology, in which Ukraine has been participating in recent years, presents an analysis of the country's significant results upon completion of one of the projects. The main requirements of the current project for providing environmental information are also considered. Provision has been made of providing Ukraine with statistical information on environmental indicators of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe within the framework of the project and the actual availability of these indicators in the statistical documentation of Ukraine. One of the ways improve information support of Ukraine in the field of ecology is considered.Conclusion. It is justified that, despite the countries' participation in international projects aimed at improving statistical support in the field of ecology, Ukraine does not make the necessary efforts to obtain significant results in this area. It is analyzed that at the end of one of the projects in the field of data and information management on the state of the environment and their shared use, Ukraine from all the participating countries made almost the smallest contribution to the development of information support, and within the current project part of the indicators Ukraine does not provide despite the availability of necessary environmental information data in open sources.
"This Video Call May Be Monitored and Recorded"
Authors: Wells J
Published: February 2020

This article argues that the implementation of video visitation in correctional facilities is a mechanism of control used to enact punitive measures for regulating mothers who act outside the dominant paradigms of motherhood. Because prisons were designed to surveil and mothers have historically been surveilled by institutions, incarcerated mothers are often overlooked when we discuss the surveillance methods used to keep institutionalized motherhood intact. This article builds on existing scholarship characterizing surveillance technology’s role in criminalizing poor mothers of color, and considers the ways in which surveillance technology is used to normalize these mothers during their incarceration. Applying a Foucauldian framework, this article explores how adapting Video Visitation (VV)—a Skype-like video chat program—enables correctional facilities to extend the role of “watcher” and expand the panoptic gaze, which prompts mother-to-mother surveillance and intensifies self-surveillance. The article concludes by drawing attention to VV’s structure and its ability to expand correctional facilities’ surveillance to the children of incarcerated mothers.
Surveillance, Ubiquity, Granularity
Authors: Pfister Damien Smith
Published: February 2020

In the wake of the mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, the Trump Administration floated the creation of a new governmental agency named HARPA, the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency, modeled after DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, that could explore novel ways of curtailing gun violence. For an administration unwilling to entertain serious legislation to address the problem of gun violence in the United States, HARPA offered a way to appear to be doing something about gun violence. HARPA, advocates maintained, could house a project called SAFEHOME, an acronym for “Stopping Aberrant Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes.” SAFEHOME would use “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence”; the proposal would draw on data from Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo, and Google Home to predict when someone might be on the cusp of mass violence (Alemany 2019). The guiding assumption of SAFEHOME is that surveillance of this biophysical data, combined with extant surveillance of textual messaging, search patterns, social networking sites, and discussion boards would alert law enforcement officials to a prospective shooter. Think Minority Report (2002, Steven Spielberg) with digital surveillance technology playing the role of psychic precogs. SAFEHOME is probably (hopefully) a nonstarter in serious conversations about gun violence, given the tenuous link between mental health, physical disposition, and violence; the inevitability of data-profiling being articulated to minoritized subjects and false positives (imagine the first time SAFEHOME flags a SWAT team on someone having sex) and obvious concerns about such an invasive surveillance regime. But the very fact that a program like SAFEHOME is posed as a potentially credible solution points to a dimension of surveillance that complements this forum’s discussion of ubiquity: granularity.
IMPACT OF WATER AND TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS ON SUBGRADE IN ROAD-BUILDING CLIMATIC ZONE V IN KYRGYZSTAN
Authors: Karimov E. M.
Published: February 2020

This paper presents research results of subgrade deformations leading to the loss of road stability on the Osh-Isfana road section in the South of Kyrgyzstan. The soil humidity of the sloping subgrade area occurs due to precipitation, so the paper considers the relationship between the subgrade settlement and atmospheric precipitation in the road-climatic zone V. The influence of the soil humidity on its physical and mechanical properties are determined as well as the critical values of humidity for each investigated area, when deformation can occur. The geological structure and parameters of physical and mechanical properties of soils are determined in the road section at issue. Subgrade settlement is evaluated and predicted in this work. The results can be used in road design and reconstruction with regard to the geological conditions of the Kyrgyz Republic.

FINAL CREATIVE WORKS OF HECTOR GERMAIN GUIMARD
Authors: Polyakov E. N. , Donchuk T. V.
Published: February 2020

The article concerns the final architectural and design activity of Hector Guimar (1867–1942), when he was forced to withdraw from his unique Guimar style. During this period, the sociopolitical and cultural life of Europe underwent fundamental changes. Bourgeois modernism was replaced by more laconic democratic styles (functionalism, constructivism, etc.). Not wanting to lose the professional orders, the French architect created projects with-out the former plastics and warmth. It is noted that before the World War II, he was mainly engaged in the design of multistorey residential buildings, occasionally, in decorative design of their facades and interiors, elements of technical equipment. His architectural projects of that period are residential complexes on Rue Jean de la Fontaine and Rue Agar (1910–1912), House Tremois on Rue François Millet (1909–1910), synagogue building Agoudas Hakehilos on Rue Pavee (1913–1914). Briefly considered the vicissitudes of his life after his departure to the United States (1938).
