Ideathek: Eine Plattform für Wissen
Authors: Pointner Johannes
Published: April 2023

Durch die Digitalisierung wird die konzeptionelle Fundierung der Bibliotheken auf das Medium des Buches infrage gestellt. Nicht nur können dank digitaler Technologien weitere Arten von Wissensträgern umfangreich integriert werden, diese lassen sich zusammen auch zu dynamischen und komplexeren epistemischen Strukturen auswerten. Um diesem medialen Wandel Rechnung zu tragen, wird anhand des Begriffes der Plattform eine utopische Neukonzipierung mit dem Arbeitstitel „Ideathek“ vorgeschlagen. Die technologievermittelte Vernetzung von Wissensbestand und Community schafft darin die Voraussetzungen für hybride, emergente Kollaboration. Sowohl deren virtuelle als auch reale Räume basieren auf der Interaktion ihrer Nutzer*innen und schlagen eine flexible, indeterminierte Raumnutzung vor. Insgesamt soll damit die Perspektive zu einer öffentlichen, sozio-epistemischen Vernetzungsinstitution unter digitalen Vorzeichen aufgezeigt werden.
A Replication of “The Effect of the Conservation Reserve Program on Rural Economies: Deriving a Statistical Verdict from a Null Finding” (American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2019)
Authors: Tian Jiarui (Alex)
Published: April 2023

This study replicates the paper “Brown, J. P., Lambert, D. M., & Wojan, T. R. (2019). The effect of the conservation reserve program on rural economies: deriving a statistical verdict from a null finding. American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 101(2), 528–540” and their procedure for calculating the so-called ex post power of statistical tests of significance for regression coefficients. There appears no generally accepted method for calculating ex post power, and Brown, Lambert, and Wojan (BLW) provided a bootstrapping method that can be applied after the parameter of interest is estimated. They recommend researchers to use this procedure to investigate whether a statistically insignificant finding is likely to be due to a low power property of the significance test. This study makes two main contributions. First, it verifies whether the data and code that BLW provided are reliable to reproduce their results. Second, it constructs Monte Carlo experiments to assess the performance of BLW’s method. The results indicate that their method produces ex post power estimates that are relatively close to the true power values. Mean power estimates are generally unbiased, and 95% of the estimates lie within +/− 5% points of the true power. In conclusion, my replication provides further evidence of the reliability of BLW’s method.

Published: April 2023

This paper, propose a new passive optical network (PON) system structure based on the two orthogonal polarization states of the same wavelength. This method is usually applied to increase the number of simultaneous users in the network, it can double the number of potential users. The proposed technique utilized to increase split ratio and consequently increase the reach and the split ratio. This can be achieved by implementing technologies such as power splitter. In terms of bit rate, the proposed PON offers a bit rate of 10 Gbps for downstream transmissions. The results obtained in this work are shown that the proposed system can accommodate more users simultaneously for the typical Q factor is greater than 6.

Published: April 2023

The Sverker 3 steel was treated by solid boriding in the range 1173–1273 K for holding times ranged from 1 to 7 h. The processes resulted in two-phase (FeB + Fe2B) boride layers except the treatment at 1173 K for 1 h where the Fe2B was formed only. The growth of borides obeys a typical parabolic law, with the maximum thickness of 120 ± 4.5 µm. Considerable redistribution of carbon and alloying elements took place during boronizing; carbon and silicon were pushed out from borides while chromium and tungsten were rather gathered in these compounds. The microhardness of Fe2B ranged between 1600 and 1700 HV 0.1, and that of FeB reached 2100–2200 HV 0.1. The average diffusion coefficient (ADC) approach was applied by assuming the linearity of boron concentration profiles across the iron boride layers. This approach allowed us to obtain the boron diffusivities in both the FeB and Fe2B. Afterwards, the boron activation energies in both layers were obtained by fitting the temperature evolution of calculated boron diffusivities in the two iron boride phases with the Arrhenius relations. The assessed boron activation energies in FeB and Fe2B were, respectively, 215.18 and 203.6 kJ mol−1. Finally, a comparison of these values of energies was made with literature results.

Published: April 2023

Droplets provide unique opportunities for the investigation of laser-induced surface chemistry. Chemical reactions on the surface of charged droplets are ubiquitous in nature and can provide critical insight into more efficient processes for industrial chemical production. Here, we demonstrate the application of the reaction nanoscopy technique to strong-field ionized nanodroplets of propanediol (PDO). The technique’s sensitivity to the near-field around the droplet allows for the in-situ characterization of the average droplet size and charge. The use of ultrashort laser pulses enables control of the amount of surface charge by the laser intensity. Moreover, we demonstrate the surface chemical sensitivity of reaction nanoscopy by comparing droplets of the isomers 1,2-PDO and 1,3-PDO in their ion emission and fragmentation channels. Referencing the ion yields to gas-phase data, we find an enhanced production of methyl cations from droplets of the 1,2-PDO isomer. Density functional theory simulations support that this enhancement is due to the alignment of 1,2-PDO molecules on the surface. The results pave the way towards spatio-temporal observations of charge dynamics and surface reactions on droplets.
Tip-enhanced photoluminescence of monolayer MoS2 increased and spectrally shifted by injection of electrons

Published: April 2023

Using tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL), we investigate micron-size monolayer MoS2 flakes. In a sequence of studies, we apply various voltages between the Ag-coated nano-tip and the MoS2 flakes and observe an intriguing result. During the TEPL measurement, we observe that the photoluminescence spectrum is blue shifted and the overall signal intensity is increased. We attribute this behavior to plasmon-induced electron injection into MoS2. Additionally, when the tip is negatively biased with respect to the sample during the TEPL measurement, the nonuniform TEPL images of MoS2 monolayer flakes containing defects are gradually changed to be uniform that reach saturation. We verify that this saturation state in TEPL can last over half a year.
Influence of the blade size on the dynamic characteristic damage identification of wind turbine blades
Authors: Chen Peng , Chen Bei
Published: April 2023

In this article, the sensitivity coefficients of dynamic characteristic damage identification of blades with different sizes were investigated. The results show that the first third-order vibration modes of the blade before and after damage are consistent, and the wind turbine blade size has no significant effect on the vibration mode; with the increase of the blade size, the first-, third- and fourth-order natural frequency sensitivity coefficients decrease gradually, while the second-, fifth- and sixth-order natural frequency sensitivity coefficients increase gradually; as the blade size increases, the third-order displacement mode sensitivity coefficient of the blade gradually increases, which indicates that the displacement modes identification effect is better with the increase of the blade size. With the increase of the blade size, the first- and third-order strain modal sensitivity coefficients increase gradually, which indicates that when using first- and third-order strain modes for damage identification, the larger the blade size, the better the identification effect; with the increase of the blade size, the second-order strain modal sensitivity coefficient decreases gradually, which indicates that when using second-order strain mode for damage identification, the larger the blade size, the worse the identification effect. This research could provide a theoretical basis for the application of the dynamic characteristic damage identification method in the damage identification of wind turbine blades of different sizes.
Statistical modeling of traffic noise at intersections in a mid-sized city, India
Authors: Yadav Adarsh , Parida Manoranjan , Kumar Brind
Published: April 2023

The modeling of traffic noise is more debated around intersections due to traffic flow and road geometry complexity. The available intersection-specific traffic noise models cannot be transferred to predict the traffic noise at intersections in the mid-sized Indian cities due to traffic heterogeneity, variety in driving conditions, and vehicle compositions. This article aims to develop an intersection-specific traffic noise model by collecting data at 19 intersections in Kanpur, India. The data include a wide range of traffic, road, and weather-related variables. Furthermore, significant input variables are determined and used in the statistical regression model to develop an intersection-specific traffic noise model for the mid-sized Indian cities. This study develops a separate entrance and exit arm model based on the corresponding influencing variables. The coefficient of determination (R
2) value is 0.74 and 0.69 for the developed model at the entrance and exit arms, respectively, whereas these models achieve R
2 values of 0.73 and 0.67 in the validation step. Also, the performance of developed models is evaluated on the standard and mean absolute errors as performance metrics. This study finds that traffic volume and receiver distance are relatively the most important variables in the entrance and exit arm noise models.

Plant organogenesis requires matching the available metabolic resources to developmental programs. In Arabidopsis, the root system is determined by primary root‐derived lateral roots (LRs), and adventitious roots (ARs) formed from non‐root organs. Lateral root formation entails the auxin‐dependent activation of transcription factors ARF7, ARF19, and LBD16. Adventitious root formation relies on LBD16 activation by auxin and WOX11. The allocation of shoot‐derived sugar to the roots influences branching, but how its availability is sensed for LRs formation remains unknown. We combine metabolic profiling with cell‐specific interference to show that LRs switch to glycolysis and consume carbohydrates. The target‐of‐rapamycin (TOR) kinase is activated in the lateral root domain. Interfering with TOR kinase blocks LR initiation while promoting AR formation. The target‐of‐rapamycin inhibition marginally affects the auxin‐induced transcriptional response of the pericycle but attenuates the translation of ARF19, ARF7, and LBD16. TOR inhibition induces WOX11 transcription in these cells, yet no root branching occurs as TOR controls LBD16 translation. TOR is a central gatekeeper for root branching that integrates local auxin‐dependent pathways with systemic metabolic signals, modulating the translation of auxin‐induced genes.
Inverse problems of determining an unknown depending on time coefficient for a parabolic equation with involution and periodicity conditions
Authors: Baranetskij Ya.O. , Demkiv I.I. , Solomko A.V.
Published: April 2023

The solution of the investigated problem with an unknown coefficient in the equation was constructed by using the method of separation of variables. The properties of the induced spectral problem for the second-order differential equation with involution are studied. The dependence on the equation involutive part of the spectrum and its multiplicity as well as the structure of the system of root functions and partial solutions of the problem were investigated. The conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the inverse problem have been established. To determine the required coefficient, Volterra's integral equation of the second kind was found and solved.
Relationship between employees’ perception of airborne wood dust and ventilation applications in micro-scale enterprises producing furniture
Authors: Top Yener
Published: April 2023

Excessive inhalation of airborne wood dust has a negative impact on employees’ health and is a common issue. There are available hazard control methods to protect workers from exposure to airborne wood dust. These methods include ventilation of the workplace and the use of personal protective equipment against dust. In this study, micro-scale furniture manufacturing enterprises were investigated because the sector and the scale of the enterprise are among the factors affecting the exposure to dust. A structured questionnaire was conducted by face-to-face interview method in this study. In addition, workplaces and working conditions of 53 enterprises were observed during on-site visits to conduct the questionnaires. The relationship between categorical variables was investigated using the Chi-square test. Among the interviewed employees, 9.4% were not concerned about the harmful impact of solid wood dust on health. The least used ventilation method was local exhaust ventilation, and at any interviewed site the occupational exposure limit value to dust was unknown. Medium density fibreboard was the most preferred raw material. Because wood dust was generally underestimated as an occupational health risk factor, this study concludes that ventilation applications that reduce exposure to dust were also insufficient.
Charring properties and temperature profiles of laminated bamboo under single side of ISO 834 fire exposure
Authors: Xu Ming , Tu Liuhui , Cui Zhaoyan , Chen Zhongfan
Published: April 2023

The charring properties and temperature profiles were studied for laminated bamboo exposed on one-side to ISO 834 fire. A linear model was adopted to represent the charring depth-time relationship. The average charring rate of laminated bamboo was around 1 mm/min, and the charring rate decreased as the total time increased. The temperature of the char front was approximately 270 °C, which was determined via analysis of the time-temperature curve. An additional mathematic model was developed to predict the temperature distribution in the uncharred zone under such conditions, and an abrupt change in temperature was witnessed near the char front. When compared to several different timber species found in previous literature and fire resistance standards, the charring rate of laminated bamboo was relatively high; therefore, future research should focus on way to strengthen the fire retardancy of laminated bamboo.
Surface properties of oriented strand board coated by electrostatic dry powder spray deposition technique
Authors: Ayrilmis Nadir
Published: April 2023

Use of electrostatic powder coating technology for wood-based panels has considerably increased in the last decade. In this study, oriented strand boards (OSB; OSB/2 and OSB/3 grades) were coated with powder coatings using an electrostatic corona spray gun. Epoxy/polyester (hybrid:1/1) coating that is suitable for indoor applications was applied to the surface of OSB specimens (150 g/m2) at three different curing temperatures, 120 °C for 15 min, 140 °C for 10 min, and 160 °C for 10 min using the electrostatic corona gun. The surface properties of the OSB specimens, roughness, wettability, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and film thickness were determined. The abrasion resistance and scratch resistance of the coated OSB specimens improved with increasing curing temperature from 120 to 160 °C. The highest mechanical surface strength was obtained from the OSB/3 specimens cured in the infrared oven at 160 °C for 10 min, while the lowest strength was found in the OSB/2 specimens cured in the infrared oven at 120 °C for 15 min. The contact angle values of the coated OSB specimens increased with increasing curing time, while the surface roughness decreased. The curing temperature of the electrostatic powder coating may be a useful indicator to users to obtain better surface quality on the substrate.
Manufacturing medium-density fiberboards and wood fiber insulation boards using a blood albumin adhesive on a pilot scale
Authors: Ostendorf Kolja , Reuter Patrick , Euring Markus
Published: April 2023

An albumin adhesive derived from animal blood was used for the first time for the production of two kinds of fiberboard in a dry process: medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and wood fiber insulation board (WFI). Additionally, the curing for WFI was completed using an innovative hot-air/hot-steam (HA/HS) process. There is a general importance to develop alternatives to substitute common binding agents, such as urea-formaldehyde (UF) or polymeric methylene diphenylene diisocyanate (pMDI) resins, and to develop value-added opportunities for such waste material from slaughterhouses. An adhesive analysis was performed to understand the curing reaction of these protein adhesives, which showed good properties in regards to viscosity or gel time. The physical-mechanical results showed on the one hand that the albumin adhesive could compete with UF-bonded MDF regarding tensile strength and modulus of rupture in conformity to the European Standard, but it failed to meet requirements for thickness swelling. The albumin adhesive also can compete with pMDI bonded WFI regarding tensile and compression strength, but it showed non-viable results for short-term water absorption.
Major precedents and commentary on the 2022 Criminal Law
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Ahn Kyong-Ok
Published: April 2023

First of all, there were six full-bench decisions by the Supreme Court, and the first one related to the crime of trespassing was a ruling based on the purpose of the precedent that had been changed in 2021, reaffirming the precedent's stance once again.
In property crimes, the Supreme Court has maintained the tendency to strictly limit the application of the crimes of embezzlement and breach of trust.
Additionally, the judgment related to the interpretation of Article 1 (2) of the Criminal Act is also important, as it abolished the theory of motivation that had been applied in judicial precedents.
Academics have long criticized the interpretation of Article 1 (2) of the Criminal Act based on the theory of motivation. In this paper, I first reviewed the full-bench decisions by the Supreme Court and provided peer review. For other major judgments, only the issues and reasons for the decisions were briefly introduced.
To ensure the legitimate exercise of punishment, it is desirable to present clear interpretation criteria for the law, and interpretations beyond the literal meaning of the law cannot be allowed.
In this regard, it is noteworthy that in 2022, the Supreme Court made positive decisions that presented standards to further clarify the interpretation of each crime element or limit criminal punishment, such as changes in precedents in property crimes to reflect social changes.
Acceptance and Development of Ecological Jurisprudence
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Kang Jae-Gyeu
Published: April 2023

In order to solve environmental problems, countries around the world have enacted and enforced many environmental laws so far, and efforts have been made to ensure the legislative purpose and effectiveness of environmental laws through litigation systems operated in each country for those who damage the environment by violating such laws. However, such environmental laws and litigation systems had limitations in preventing or curing global environmental crises. At its root, the following structural problems were inherent. First, anthropocentrism, the widespread belief that humans are separate from and superior to the rest of the natural world. Because of this sense of superiority, we saw humans as at the pinnacle of evolution. Second, the idea that everything in nature, animate and inanimate, is our property and we have the right to use it as we please. Third, it is the idea that unlimited economic growth can and should be pursued as the foremost task of modern society. Anthropocentric ideas and property rights are the foundation of modern industrial society, supporting everything from law and economics to education and religion. Economic growth has consistently taken precedence over environmental concerns as a primary goal for governments and businesses. The formation of such ideas was rooted in a long history of philosophy, religion, morality, and ethics from the ancient Greek times to the present. The consciousness that humans are distinct from other animals and superior to them has permeated deeply into the Western legal system, resulting in a gap between law and reality.
However, under the above accident, the perception that it is impossible to overcome the global environmental crisis gradually spreads. Entering the 20th century, anthropocentric thinking was overcome, and the idea of ecology (naturalism) that humans are part of nature came to the fore. It can be said that the natural rights movement, which was discussed mainly in the United States in the 1970s, was the starting point that caused such a change in thinking. Of course, at the time, the movement developed under the laws and systems based on the existing anthropocentrism, and the limitations were still there.…

Published: April 2023

Sinkhole (doline) collapse is one of the major natural hazards threatening people and property in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, especially if the bedrock structure is epi-karstic, covered by encrusted material. Many dolines-avens collapses have been recorded in urban and rural areas in Northeast Algeria. Our study identifies localized deformation that may be caused by a sinkhole activity based on the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) imaging in Setifian high plains. For this task, we conducted 2-D Wenner and Wenner-Schlumberger transects profiles. The geological and hydrogeological study helped to calibrate the resistivity model, and in this regard, expound on the proneness of the limestone layer to collapse. The obtained model highlights the heterogeneity of the subsurface. The inverted transects allowed the investigation of 20 m depth with Wenner array and 52 m with Wenner-Schlumberger. The Wenner inverted models imaged the chimney and different karst networks until 20 m depth; even as the Wenner-Schlumberger models imaged a new karstic cavity in the limestone layer. ERT imaging has once again proven its effectiveness in mapping sinkholes based on its ability to detect resistivity. Our research can certainly benefit karst collapse monitoring in other areas of the high plain region.

Authors: Klapa Przemysław , Hudecová Ľubica , Jurkiewicz Magdalena , Kysel' Peter , Mika Monika , Ślusarski Marek
Published: April 2023

Utility networks provide transport for various types of raw materials. They comprise a network of pipes, cables and ducts running on, under and above the surface of either ground or water. They connect individual customers with distributors within water supply, sewage, heating, telecommunications, electricity, as well as oil, gas and chemical networks. They serve an extremely important role in today’s urbanised world. However, utility networks require specialised treatment not only in legal, technical or social terms, but also geodetic and cartographic.
It is necessary to conduct a precise and accurate inventory to prepare and implement projects of utility networks, as well as all kinds of other construction works. Mapping is another task required, along with the preparation of databases on networks that provide comprehensive (graphic and descriptive) information on objects. In each country, the execution of surveying and cartographic works observes internal laws and technical standards and norms. This paper presents the issues of surveying and cartographic works in relation to utility networks, as well as their implementation in Slovakia (Bratislava) and Poland (Kraków). The rules for the presentation of networks on maps, as well as technical standards for collecting, processing and sharing network databases based on legal provisions that are valid for both countries, were compared.
Geomatics-based assessment of the neotectonic landscape evolution along the tebessa-morsott-youkous collapsed basin, Algeria

Published: April 2023

The neo-tectonic research is interested in the study of the movements of Earth’s crust in recent geological times. It could explain the deformation mechanisms that lead to the structuring of drainage catchments. The Morsott-Tebessa-Youkous (Chabro) collapsed basin corresponds to a subsiding depression framed by brittle structures and filled with thick deposits. Our work aims to unveil the neo-tectonic activity and reconstruct the morphometric evolution of the landscape and the drainage network of the basin. For this task, our investigation applies a quantitative analysis of geomorphic indices extracted from the DEM of the study area. We used a GIS-based approach to compile seven morphometric factors namely Integral Hypsometry (HI), the Sinuosity of mountain fronts (Smf), the Valley Floor width to height ratio (VF), the Asymmetry Factor (AF), Basin Shape index (BS), and the topography (T). All these thematic parameters were processed in a Geo-database to calculate the study area’s Relative Tectonic Activity Index (IRAT) as a result. The IRAT map was categorized into three classes. The result highlighted the distribution of relative tectonic activity in the region and unveiled some unknown faults. It associated the sinuosity of rivers and the deformation of the substratum with active tectonic anomalies. This research work succeeded in drawing up a new scheme of the neo-tectonic activity and morpho-structural evolution in the collapsed basin.
Management of herbaceous vegetation in historic gardens – the north landscape garden of Wilanów palace
Authors: Kuśmierski Jacek
Published: April 2023

Herbaceous vegetation is a critical component of the multi-layered arrangement in historic gardens, enhancing its harmony and natural balance. Despite its numerous advantages, such as limiting weed growth, inhibiting soil degradation, and increasing biodiversity, it remains one of the most neglected components of historic gardens. The objective of this article was to present practical guidelines for the management of herbaceous vegetation in the North Landscape Garden of Wilanów Palace made for the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów between 2017 and 2018. Analytical studies and design works were conducted for an area of 5.3 ha. Following the principles of conservation with respect to spatial forms and landscape features with simultaneous reference to the composition of natural plant communities and preservation of the existing natural qualities, a list of 106 dominant and coexisting plant species was proposed. Herbaceous vegetation covered in total 39% of the park’s area. The identified species indicated a habitat of subcontinental oak-hornbeam forest (Tilio-Carpinetum calamagrostietosum) and willow-poplar marsh (Salici-Populetum). In addition, compositional guidelines and recommendations for implementation, care and use were specified. The correct management of herbaceous vegetation in a historic garden requires a well-thought-out design and implementation process that accounts for cultural values and habitat conditions.
Effect of the agriculture on the quality of groundwater in the alluvial aquifer of the Tadjenanet area (eastern Algeria)
Authors: Khedidja Abdelhamid , Dib Imen
Published: April 2023

The region of Tadjenanet is in eastern Algeria in the high plains, characterized by a varied age detritus Mio-Plio-Quaternary. Some geological formations can be an important source of groundwater (alluvial sand, shell limestone, gravel). Its location in semi-arid area involves evaporation pronounced even tilt the balance in a chronic deficit, excluding periods characterized by rainfall events.
Agriculture in the study area is the first socio-economic activity and the largest consumer of water resources. It is therefore necessary to consider for effective water management. Indeed, the combination of hydrogeological and hydro chemical geological mapping, geophysics, harvested from field data and their interpretations can be an excellent tool for deciding the suitability of water for irrigation.
The analysis of the physicochemical data shows an increase in the concentration of nitrates reaching 200 mg · l–1, as well as the analysis by the Richards SAR parameter shows that most groundwater samples are generally suitable for agricultural purposes with 33%, belong characterizing poor quality.
Indeed, the groundwater in the region generally requires prior treatment before consumption and use depending on the type of crop.
The assessment of the quality of the water in the region and its consequences on the soil and the types of crops has enabled the authorities concerned to manage the water supply adequately to preserve and protect this vital source for the future from any risk of contamination.
Accuracy of determining height differences based on NRTK VRS measurements and using quasi-geoid model
Authors: Kudas Dawid , Wnęk Agnieszka
Published: April 2023

The paper analyses the accuracy of the determination of normal heights in the national spatial reference system using the PL-geoid-2011 quasi-geoid model. The heights were determined using the PL-EVRF2007-NH normal height system. The paper discusses the results of a measurement experiment consisting in measuring 8 points with the use of the Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK) technique and the Virtual Reference Station (VRS) surface correction generated on the basis of the TPI NETpro commercial network of reference stations and with the use of two global satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS). In the experiment, three measurement schemes were evaluated in relation to the number of measurement epochs recorded above the designated point, as well as the order of recording points. The conducted measurement experiment allowed to determine which of the proposed schemes guarantees the best accuracy from the point of view of establishing a height measurement network with the use of the NRTK technique and VRS corrections. The tests showed that it is possible to determine the height difference between points using the NRTK technique and the VRS method with an accuracy of 0.01m. However, to ensure adequate accuracy, elevation differences must be defined as the differences of the measured heights and should be determined several times and based on independent measurements at the beginning and end of the levelling section. Thus, determining elevation differences with the use of the NRTK VRS technique may be particularly effective in areas with large differences in height, where the determination of elevation differences with the use of classical methods is time-consuming. The obtained elevation differences require tying to the points of the height control network with the use of classical methods

“Cholera Morbus” in Moscow as a Literary Situation
Authors: Ermolenko Svetlana
Published: April 2023

This article considers the cholera epidemic (cholera morbus), which first shook Russia in the early 1830s, and more precisely, the time when cholera reached Moscow (summer and autumn of 1830). The article draws on numerous pieces of documentary evidence from those years and later. The cultural and historical approach to studying them makes it possible to present a “bitterly deplorable picture of the dying humanity” and assess the degree of fear and depression in people in the face of the “Indian infection” previously unknown to medicine. The article interprets “cholera morbus” as a fact that is tragically significant not only for Russian public life but also as a literary situation in which a human being faces death. Using the biographical method, the author studies the literary situation referring to the creative behaviour of two authors, A. A. Orlov, and M. Yu. Lermontov. Orlov entered the history of Russian literature as a “grassroots writer” (A. I. Reitblat) known as the author of parody arrangements of the “Vyzhigin” novels by F. V. Bulgarin. However, Orlov also wrote the “Moscow story” known as The Meeting of Plague with Cholera, or The Sudden Destruction of all Human Intentions (1830), which, due to the established literary reputation of the author, does not attract researchers’ attention. The article notes that by parodying the genre form of a vision traditionally designed for the mass reader, Orlov fills it with cutting-edge content and even sends a civic message encouraging readers and instilling faith in God and the Sovereign. Staying in Moscow for the entire epidemic, M. Yu. Lermontov would for the first time get real experience of facing death, which would be reflected in his work. Analysing the poems of different genres (Plague in Saratov, Plague (Excerpt), Grave of a Fighter, Death – Sunset Burns with a Fiery Streak…) created in 1830 during the cholera epidemic (as evidenced by the marks in the autograph), the author of the article concludes that cholera morbus was perceived by the young poet, unlike the creator of the “Moscow story”, not in a particular historical aspect but in philosophical terms. The experience of death, aggravated by the “picture of the dying humanity”, contributed to Lermontov’s comprehension of the eternal antinomy of being in its dialectical unity. Death and life, death and immortality would become a cross-cutting theme in Lermontov’s work giving it philosophical depth and timeless content.
The Fatigue of Culture and Fatigue from Culture in Joseph Brodsky’s Poetry

Published: April 2023

This paper explores the poetry of Joseph Brodsky. One of the spiritual, semantic, and psychological dominants of the artistic consciousness and poetic work of the Nobel laureate acts as the subject of the analysis, and this aspect has not been considered either specifically or comprehensively so far. The author focuses on a typological, spiritual, and mental condition for Brodsky’s artistic consciousness that permeates all of his work, i. e. fatigue. And it is a peculiar kind of fatigue – culturogenic fatigue – which acts, on the one hand, as fatigue of culture itself, its spiritual content, and psychological forms. On the other hand, it is people’s fatigue from this weary culture and its phenomena. Through the analysis of Brodsky’s poems of different periods, the article shows and interprets the main aspects of fatigue expressed in his poetry: fatigue as a property of world attitude, including the perception of nature, space, and time; as an underlying feature of existence (existences); as a dominant psychological mindset/type of personality; as a spiritual and psychological characteristic of the creative process and attitude to creative work, its language and meaning, its works and their recipients. In conclusion, the author states that in Brodsky’s artistic work, the tiredness of art and its cultural foundations paradoxically go hand in hand with his devotion to art and will to create, his ability to find spiritual strength in it and its language.
Target Capture Methods Offer Insight into the Evolution of Rapidly Diverged Taxa and Resolve Allopolyploid Homeologs in the Fern Genus Polypodium s.s.

Abstract— Like many fern lineages comprising reticulate species complexes, Polypodium s.s. (Polypodiacaeae) has a history shaped by rapid diversification, hybridization, and polyploidy that poses substantial challenges for phylogenetic inference with plastid
and single-locus nuclear markers. Using target capture probes for 408 nuclear loci developed by the GoFlag project and a custom bioinformatic pipeline, SORTER, we constructed multi-locus nuclear datasets for diploid temperate and Mesoamerican species of Polypodium and five allotetraploid
species belonging to the well-studied Polypodium vulgare complex. SORTER employs a clustering approach to separate putatively paralogous copies of targeted loci into orthologous matrices and haplotype phasing to infer allopolyploid haplotypes across loci, resulting in datasets amenable
to both concatenated maximum likelihood and multi-species coalescent phylogenetic analyses. By comparing phylogenies derived from maximum likelihood and multi-species coalescent analyses of unphased and phased datasets, as well as evaluating discordance among gene trees and species trees,
we recover support for incomplete lineage sorting within Polypodium s.s., novel relationships among diploid taxa of the Polypodium vulgare complex and its Mesoamerican sister clade, and the placement of several Polypodium species within other genera. Additionally, we were
able to infer well-supported phylogenies that identified the hypothesized progenitors of the allotetraploid species, indicating that SORTER is an effective and accurate tool for reconstructing homeolog haplotypes of allopolyploids in fern taxa and other non-model organisms from target capture
data.
Diagrammatic Abstractions: Jay Forrester’s Urban Dynamics and Its Contribution to Architecture and Urban Planning in the Late 1960s and Early 1970s
Authors: Ulak Anna
Published: April 2023

In the 1960s and ’70s, Jay Wright Forrester (1918–2016) created a rigorous new method he called Urban Dynamics, in which he applied systems theory to urban planning by an extensive use of diagrams and computation. This article discusses how Forrester’s theories migrated from business theory to urbanism in educational settings and into real-life planning scenarios in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). By focusing specifically on how Forrester adopted systems drawings that incorporated data and the use of computation for urban planning, the article argues that Urban Dynamics marked a changing approach to urban planning, favouring general managerial knowledge over competences specific to urban design. By conducting a visual analysis of Forrester’s diagrams, the article demonstrates how Forrester’s diagrams for his Urban Dynamics model were instrumental in concealing political ideals that blurred the border between the real and the ideal.
Ways of Looking: The Composite Novel and Posthuman Community in Jon McGregor's Reservoir 13
Authors: Guyton Adele
Published: April 2023

Jon McGregor’s Reservoir 13 (2017) is set in an unnamed village in the UK’s Peak District and, in thirteen chapters that each cover a year, depicts the everyday lives of the humans, plants and animals in that area. The novel is notable for giving equal emotional significance to human and non-human life, and for being composed of vignettes focused on characters or groups that are arranged chronologically without deference to a dramatic arc. These characteristics ally Reservoir 13 with the contemporary novels being categorised as narratives of community or composite novels, which often use locations to bring together disparate characters. Within this context, Reservoir 13’s unusual highlighting of non-human life raises questions about how the place of the non-human in literary community is framed by composite or fragmented narrative structures. This paper concludes that Reservoir 13 can be seen as an example of a posthuman literary community: through its fragmented structure, externally focalised narration, and inclusion of disparate forms of human and non-human life, McGregor crafts a community not as it might be experienced by one human – the bird’s eye view of the third-person narrator covers too much ground for this – but as a theoretical perspective. In the nascent field of posthuman narratology, Reservoir 13 is a uniquely apt case study for showing how twenty-first century writing might construct a posthuman community with the conundrum of the anthropocentrism and humanism of the novel form lurking in the background.
The effect of anthropomorphism level of hotel service robot on robot service quality expectation: Moderating effect of gadget-loving tendency

With the advent of artificial intelligence, more service robots are used to provide various services. As the use of service robots increases, anthropomorphic service robots, rather than simple machines, have been introduced to the hotel industry, and the social interactiveness of such anthropomorphic robots can improve consumers' perception of service quality. Therefore, this study aims to examine how perceived robot service quality differs based on the levels of hotel service robots ’anthropomorphism and customers' gadget-loving tendencies. According to the study results, first, the higher the anthropomorphism level of service robots, the higher the perceived robot service quality, namely in tenets like Automation, Personalisation and Efficiency. Second, looking at how gadget-loving tendency moderated the relationship between the levels of service robots’ anthropomorphism and the expected robot service quality, this study confirmed a significant interaction effect of Automation, Efficiency, and Precision. This study expands the scope of service robot research by categorizing hotel service robots by their anthropomorphism level and verifying differences in consumer perceptions; improves the understanding of consumer behavior by segmenting consumers by their gadget-loving tendencies; and provides a basis for designing hotel service robots to increase consumer satisfaction.
Hotel reservation intentions depending on the quality of virtual reality and mental imagery

Although Virtual Reality (VR) has been widely used in the tourism and hospitality industry, little research has considered the factors that make users reserve hotels by using VR. To fill this research gap, this study examined the relationships among the quality of VR provided by hotels, users’ mental imagery, telepresence, and actual reservation intention. In doing so, this study established a framework highlighting the relationships between 'VR quality-mental imagery-telepresence and reservation intention’. We surveyed a total of 450 respondents who had the experience of making hotel reservations online by using VR. The results revealed that the content quality, system quality, and vividness of VR had significant positive effects on the elaboration and quality of mental imagery. The elaboration and quality of mental imagery also had a significant positive effect on telepresence. Finally, a highly significant relationship between telepresence and actual hotel reservation intention was confirmed. Accordingly, this study provides the following academic and practical implications. First, from an academic point of view, the quality of VR technology in the tourism field was explained using the updated IS (information system) success model. Furthermore, the influence of mental imagery on hotel reservations was identified. Also, it has practical implications by providing insights into the role and effect of VR technology in increasing hotel reservation intention in online travel agencies.
