GENDERED MONEY
Authors: Jonsson Pernilla , Neunsinger Silke
Published: June 2024

As economic citizenship was a pre-condition of full citizenship, the lack of economic autonomy was an important motivation during the early stages of the women’s movement. Independent of their class background, women had less access to not only financial resources but also social and cultural capital, i.e., member’s commitment. Resources are therefore of particular interest from a gender perspective, and this book sheds light on the importance of resources for women’s struggles for political rights. Highlighting the financial strategies of the first wave of Swedish middle-class and socialist women’s movements and comparing them with similar organizations in Germany, England, and Canada, the authors show the importance of class, gender, age, and the national context, offering a valuable contribution to the discussion of resource mobilization theories in the context of social movements.
WRITING THE DARK SIDE OF TRAVEL
Authors: Skinner Jonathan
Published: June 2024

The travel experience filled with personal trauma; the pilgrimage through a war-torn place; the journey with those suffering: these represent the darker sides of travel. What is their allure and how are they represented? This volume takes an ethnographic and interdisciplinary approach to explore the writings and texts of dark journeys and travels. In traveling over the dead, amongst the dying, and alongside the suffering, the authors give us a tour of humanity’s violence and misery. And yet, from this dark side, there comes great beauty and poignancy in the characterization of plight; creativity in the comic, graphic, and graffiti sketches and comments on life; and the sense of profound and spiritual journeys being undertaken, recorded, and memorialized.
CZECHS, GERMANS, JEWS?
Authors: Čapková Kateřina
Published: June 2024

The phenomenon of national identities, always a key issue in the modern history of Bohemian Jewry, was particularly complex because of the marginal differences that existed between the available choices. Considerable overlap was evident in the programs of the various national movements and it was possible to change one’s national identity or even to opt for more than one such identity without necessarily experiencing any far-reaching consequences in everyday life. Based on many hitherto unknown archival sources from the Czech Republic, Israel and Austria, the author’s research reveals the inner dynamic of each of the national movements and maps out the three most important constructions of national identity within Bohemian Jewry – the German-Jewish, the Czech-Jewish and the Zionist. This book provides a needed framework for understanding the rich history of German- and Czech-Jewish politics and culture in Bohemia and is a notable contribution to the historiography of Bohemian, Czechoslovak and central European Jewry.
THE KINGS AND THE PAWNS
Authors: Rein Leonid
Published: June 2024

For many years, the history of Byelorussia under Nazi occupation was written primarily from the perspective of the resistance movement. This movement, a reaction to the brutal occupation policies, was very strong indeed. Still, as the author shows, there existed in Byelorussia a whole web of local institutions and organizations which, some willingly, others with reservations, participated in the implementation of various aspects of occupation policies. The very sensitivity of the topic of collaboration has prevented researchers from approaching it for many years, not least because in the former Soviet territories ideological considerations have played an important role in preserving the topic’s “untouchable” status. Focusing on the attitude of German authorities toward the Byelorussians, marked by their anti-Slavic and particularly anti-Byelorussian prejudices on the one hand and the motives of Byelorussian collaborators on the other, the author clearly shows that notwithstanding the postwar trend to marginalize the phenomenon of collaboration or to silence it altogether, the local collaboration in Byelorussia was clearly visible and pervaded all spheres of life under the occupation.
HUNTERS IN THE BARRENS
Authors: Henriksen Georg
Published: June 2024

This comprehensive study of the Naskapi Indians of Labrador is based on an anthropologist’s life with them between 1966 and 1968, when families still followed the traditional pattern of hunting on the barrens during the winter and returning to their costal settlements in the summer. Now the Naskapi live in coastal settlements; no longer in possession of their own culture, they have become sedentaries under white tutelage. This description of two antithetical worlds provides valuable insights for anyone interested in contemporary native rights issues.

Anti Skin Bacteria Activity of Selected Plants in Malaysia
Authors: Vijayan Hemapriyaa
Published: June 2024

Cosmeceuticals are topical cosmetic pharmaceutical preparations which are used to enhance the beauty through ingredients that provide additional health-related function or benefit. Natural colorants are dyes and pigmentary molecules which are extracted from nature sources such as minerals, plants and animals. A total of six plants were selected as potential candidates for this project namely Punica granatum, Dicranopteris linearis, Tagetes erecta, Hibiscus rosa sinensis (red and yellow) and Hibiscus schizopethalus. Plant samples which were freeze-dried and oven-dried were extracted using absolute methanol and subjected to rotary evaporation. For the preparation of boiled extracts, samples were boiled with distilled water for an hour prior to freeze drying. All the extracts exerted no damage to RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line with IC50 values more than 100 µg/ml, which was the highest concentration tested in the current study using MTT assay. A total of three species of skin bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus (five isolates: Sa1, Sa2, Sa3, Sa4, Sa5), Staphylococcus epidermidis (five isolates: Se1, Se2, Se3, Se4, Se5) and Chryseobacterium aquifrigindense (five isolates: Ca1, Ca2, Ca3, Ca4, Ca5) were isolated from the skin swabs of thirty subjects with skin infection. From the results obtained from anti-skin bacterial testing using disc diffusion method, the extracts inhibited Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis but did not show any anti-bactericidal activity towards Chryseobacterium aquifrigindense. The highest anti-skin bacterial activity was shown by Dicranopteris linearis (oven-dried) and Punica granatum (freeze-dried and oven-dried) extracts. In conclusion, these extract have potential to inhibit the growth of skin bacteria without causing toxicity towards the skin.
Late Paleozoic Remagnetization on the Western Slope of the Southern Urals: Age and Geotectonic Implications
Authors: Anosova M.  B. , Latyshev A.  V.
Published: June 2024

The paper presents the results of paleomagnetic studies on numerous intrusive bodies of the Bashkirian megazone – a major tectonic zone of the Southern Urals. More than 70 intrusions in different parts of the Bashkirian megazone (in the northern, central and southern part of the structure) were sampled. The studied intrusions have Riphean age, however, like a significant part of the rocks of the Southern Urals, these intrusive bodies were remagnetized during the Late Paleozoic collision within the Urals fold belt. This article will discuss the secondary Late Paleozoic component of natural remanence magnetization. According to the paleomagnetic data obtained, the secondary Late Paleozoic component in most of the Bashkirian megazone is post-fold, i.e. formed after the completion of the main phase of fold deformations in the Southern Urals. A comparison of paleomagnetic directions obtained from intrusions in different parts of the Bashkirian megazone showed that there did not significant movements of individual parts of the Bashkirian megazone relative to each other after the formation of the Late Paleozoic component. The Late Paleozoic remanence component yielded a paleomagnetic pole of Plong = 171.6°, Plat = 39.9°, α95 = 5.9°, N = 6 from 6 areas (38 sites) in the Bashkirian megazone. The obtained pole is statistically indistinguishable from the mean of 15 poles for Stable Europe with ages of 280–301 million years. Thus, the secondary Late Paleozoic component in the Bashkirian megazone formed approximately 280–301 million years ago, after which the Bashkirian megazone did not experience any relative motions with respect to the East European craton.

Influence of ASEAN Centrality on Responses to the AUKUS Pact: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and the Philippines
Authors: Sianturi Viona , Wiswayana Wishnu
Published: June 2024

This article aims to find answers to why two countries, despite sharing a high degree of similarity, may exhibit contrasting responses to a particular phenomenon. The Philippines and Indonesia share numerous similarities, encompassing geographical location, form of states, ideology, security, and economic conditions. Nevertheless, their reactions diverged when the AUKUS Defense Pact, aimed at bolstering security and stability in the Indo-Pacific, was established. Indonesia voiced concerns that the formation of the pact would potentially lead to an arms race in the region. Conversely, the Philippines responded positively by issuing verbal support for the establishment of AUKUS. Through the application of the most similar system design comparison method and Donald E Nuechterlein’s concept of National Interest analysis, this article concludes that the Philippines and Indonesia adopt distinct approaches and harbor different interests in the preservation of regional stability. Indonesia has interest in prioritizing the principle of ASEAN centrality through the application of the ASEAN Outlook on Indo-Pacific. On the other hand, the Philippines considers it crucial to involve their traditional defense partners, the United States and Australia, in upholding regional security.

Authors: Wahyulina Diah , Chrisdanty Febry
Published: June 2024

This type of batik making is not only done by canting, but is also known as splashed batik. Sprinkled batik is unique in its motif, where the motif is formed with different patterns depending on the tapa style used to splash. All the abstract splash patterns make this splashed batik different from other batik. To be able to produce products in the form of splashed batik applications, partners need assistance and guidance to carry out the steps in making splashed batik, which will then be used as material to make finished products that are ready to use and ready to be marketed for general sale. This training in making splashed batik creations is carried out with several types of training, namely starting with theoretical training, after that it will continue with practical training where partners will directly make splashed batik. The application of splashed batik is the basic material for making ready-to-wear products such as t-shirts and other types of clothing. This training program is held to develop partners' skills and can be used as business capital for partners to provide additional income for their families
Formal Specification of Actual Trust in Multiagent Systems
Authors: Akintunde Michael , Yazdanpanah Vahid , Salehi Fathabadi Asieh , Cirstea Corina , Dastani Mehdi , Moreau Luc
Published: June 2024

This research focuses on establishing trust in multiagent systems where human and AI agents collaborate. We propose a computational notion of actual trust, emphasising the modelling of an agent’s capacity to deliver tasks. Unlike reputation-based trust or performing a statistical analysis on past behaviour, our approach considers the specific setting in which agents interact. We integrate non-deterministic semantics for capturing inherent uncertainties within the behaviour of a multiagent system, but stress the importance of verifying an agent’s actual capabilities. We provide a conceptual analysis of actual trust’s characteristics and highlight relevant trust verification tools. By advancing the understanding and verification of trust in collaborative systems, this research contributes to responsible and trustworthy human-AI interactions, enhancing reliability in various domains.
Assisting Users in Privacy Conflicts with Partially Observable Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Aydın Hüseyin
Published: June 2024

Avoiding violations of privacy-invading technologies is difficult enough for an individual, yet the complexity escalates when online collaborations and social media jeopardize the privacy of multiple parties over co-owned contents. While existing approaches offer solutions for possible conflicts among users’ privacy preferences, they either assume static rules for the preferences of users or require the users to declare separate decisions for each content. In any case, the long term satisfaction of all users remains uncertain. Reinforcement learning (RL) emerges at this point as a suitable candidate for balancing the users’ utilities as their satisfactions about decisions over time. The decentralized and dynamic nature of the problem suggests an RL setting that involves multiple agents interacting not only with the humans whom they model and represent but also with each other. Furthermore, as the knowledge of agents about the factors that lead to other users’ preferences will be limited, the setting has to handle partial observability. Although this introduces new challenges for the framework, it also brings a potential generalization of any solution to multi-party conflicts in different real life contexts with minor adaptations. This study delves deeper into the features of the proposed framework and the ways to construct it.
LLM-Augmented Agent-Based Modelling for Social Simulations: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Gürcan Önder
Published: June 2024

As large language models (LLMs) continue to make significant strides, their better integration into agent-based simulations offers a transformational potential for understanding complex social systems. However, such integration is not trivial and poses numerous challenges. Based on this observation, in this paper, we explore architectures and methods to systematically develop LLM-augmented social simulations and discuss potential research directions in this field. We conclude that integrating LLMs with agent-based simulations offers a powerful toolset for researchers and scientists, allowing for more nuanced, realistic, and comprehensive models of complex systems and human behaviours.
“Computer, Generate!” – Investigating User-Controlled Generation of Immersive Virtual Environments

Published: June 2024

For immersive experiences such as virtual reality, explorable worlds are often fundamental. Generative artificial intelligence looks promising to accelerate the creation of such environments. However, it remains unclear how existing interaction modalities can support user-centered world generation and how users remain in control of the process. Thus, in this paper, we present a virtual reality application to generate virtual environments and compare three common interaction modalities (voice, controller, and hands) in a pre-study (N = 18), revealing a combination of initial voice input and continued controller manipulation as best suitable. We then investigate three levels of process control (all-at-once, creation-before-manipulation, and step-by-step) in a user study (N = 27). Our results show that although all-at-once reduced the number of object manipulations, participants felt more in control when using the step-by-step approach.

Published: June 2024

With the advancement and increasing availability of AI based chatbots, it becomes relevant to better understand how people use and perceive these systems. Previous research shows that trust in algorithms varies as people assume algorithms are more capable of handling tasks of objective knowledge domains than of subjective ones. The present study investigates how perceived expertise, perceived risk, trust, and perceived usefulness vary in objective and subjective knowledge domains and how this translates in use intention. In an online study, 602 participants watched an interaction video with ChatGPT, showcasing either an objective task or a subjective task. The results demonstrate an indirect effect of knowledge domain on use intention via perceived expertise, perceived risk, trust, and perceived usefulness in serial. This demonstrates how various factors impact the use intention, and how important it is to consider the usage context.
The Influence of Interdependence on Trust Calibration in Human-Machine Teams
Authors: Verhagen Ruben S. , Marcu Alexandra , Neerincx Mark A. , Tielman Myrthe L.
Published: June 2024

In human-machine teams, the strengths and weaknesses of both team members result in dependencies, opportunities, and requirements to collaborate. Managing these interdependence relationships is crucial for teamwork, as it is argued that they facilitate accurate trust calibration. Unfortunately, empirical research on the influence of interdependence on trust calibration during human-machine teamwork is lacking. Therefore, we conducted an experiment (n=80) to study the effect of interdependence relationships (complete independence, complementary independence, optional interdependence, required interdependence) on human-machine trust calibration. Participants collaborated with a virtual agent during a simulated search and rescue task in teams characterized by one of the four interdependencies. A machine-induced trust violation was included in the task to facilitate dynamic trust calibration. Results show that the interdependence relationships during human-machine teamwork influence perceived trust calibration over time. Only in the teams with joint actions (optional and required interdependence) does perceived trust in the machine not recover to its initial pre-violated value. However, results show that the correlation between perceived trust in the machine and machine trustworthiness is strongest in these teams with joint actions, suggesting a more accurate trust calibration process. Overall, our findings provide some first evidence that interdependence relationships during human-machine teamwork influence human-machine trust calibration.

Interactive Multi-Objective Optimization for Military Helicopter Route Planning
Authors: Quadt Thomas
Published: June 2024

Information overload and the labor-intensive nature of the military decision-making process have made human decision-making deficient in modern warfare. To mitigate the current deficiencies, AI systems have been proposed. In a military context, these systems should be reliable and explainable, warranting a human-AI collaboration approach. One process that can greatly benefit from decision support is military helicopter route planning. It has many different conflicting criteria related to it, necessitating multi-objective optimization (MOO) techniques. In the literature, there is a lack of research on the decision-maker’s role. To fill this gap, interactive MOO is proposed to utilize the advantages of human-AI collaboration and create a shared understanding of the problem and its tradeoffs. Unlike the current interactive MOO research, the project is done with the active involvement of domain experts. Four different studies are proposed to investigate this problem. First, a literature study will be performed to review the state of the art. Next, an interactive MOO method will be designed, which will be applied to an Air Interdiction mission. Simultaneously, we will investigate the effect of the level of detail of threat modeling on the resulting optimization problem. Finally, the decision-support tool will be applied to a Strike Coordination and Reconnaissance mission.

Value-Sensitive Disagreement Analysis for Online Deliberation
Authors: van der Meer Michiel , Vossen Piek , Jonker Catholijn M. , Murukannaiah Pradeep K.
Published: June 2024

Disagreements are common in online societal deliberation and may be crucial for effective collaboration, for instance in helping users understand opposing viewpoints. Although there exist automated methods for recognizing disagreement, a deeper understanding of factors that influence disagreement is currently missing. We investigate a hypothesis that differences in personal values influence disagreement in online discussions. Using Large Language Models (LLMs) for estimating both profiles of personal values and disagreement, we conduct a large-scale experiment involving 11.4M user comments. We find that the dissimilarity of value profiles correlates with disagreement only in specific cases, but that incorporating self-reported value profiles changes these results to be more undecided.

Published: June 2024

Al alloys are widely explored in the development of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) layered electric arc growth technology, which are dynamic in the field of additive manufacturing. In this study, Al‒Si wire samples were produced by layered arc growth technology and different welding sequence. Impact toughness tests at the test temperature of ‒60 °C and microstructure of the clad alloy were carried out. The results of the impact toughness test at a test temperature of ‒60 °C averaged 20.4 and 18.6 J/cm2 for the samples by welding sequence Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. The structure of clad Al‒Si alloys consists of equiaxed dendrites of α-solid solution and eutectic (α + Si) in the interdendritic region. During remelting of the preceding layer, the size of the dendrites increases as a result of thermal effects. Larger dendrites are observed in the remelted predecessor layer of clad sample No. 2. The obtained results indicate the possibility of using the technology of layered electro-arc growth of Al‒Si alloy, and predominantly by the welding sequence No. 1, to create products operating at low temperatures, taking into account the control of the order of overlaying layers to reduce defects in the clad metal and the establishment of a tolerance for machining at the edges of the clad layers due to the presence of diffuse pores
Thermodynamic modeling reduction of metals by hydrogen from ilmeniite concentrate and experimental verification the results.
Authors: Smirnov K. I.
Published: June 2024

It is shown that existing methods of hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processing of ilmenite concentrates do not meet the requirements of rational environmental management. Pyrometallurgical methods for processing ilmenite concentrates involve the use of carbon as a reducing agent, which complicates the process of their processing due to the possibility of the formation of titanium carbides. As an alternative to carbon as a metal reducing agent, the work proposes the use of hydrogen gas. The results of thermodynamic calculations and experimental studies and their comparison in the reduction of metals by hydrogen from ilmenite concentrate are presented. The results have discrepancies associated with the kinetics of the processes that are not taken into account in the thermodynamic calculation. According to the results of thermodynamic calculations, part of the iron is bound in complex oxides CaFeSiO4 and FeAl2O4, the formation of which prevents the complete reduction of iron, however, in the experiment it is possible to obtain a higher degree of iron metallization compared to the calculated one. The impossibility of the formation of complex oxides CaFeSiO4 and FeAl2O4 in the experiment can be explained by the location of Ca, Si and Al, which are contained in the concentrate in the form of individual impurity particles of waste rock. Reduction of titanium to metal is impossible according to the results of thermodynamic calculation, but its partial reduction with the formation of oxide to TiO is possible. According to the experimental results, partial reduction of titanium leads to the formation of a new anosovite phase (Ti3O5). Impurity Si and Mn that are found in waste rock particles are not reduced, because their reduction requires the presence of iron-based solution according to the results of thermodynamic calculation
“La extracción de mercurio como delito contra la gestión ambiental en México”

Published: June 2024

Entre los años mil novecientos treinta y dos y mil novecientos sesenta y ocho en Minamata, Japón, la compañía Chisso vertió unas veintisiete toneladas de compuestos de mercurio a la bahía de la región, esto trajo como consecuencia que más de dos mil quinientas personas presentaran como cuadro clínico un desorden neurotóxico entre otras implicaciones, a esto se le llamó enfermedad de Minamata y es causada por el envenenamiento de mercurio y sus compuestos. Este suceso marcó precedentes e hizo que al pasar de los años se fueran tomando medidas por los países del mundo para tener un control del mercurio. En el año dos mil trece se firmó el primer convenio que regula el mercurio y lleva por nombre “Convenio de Minamata” debido a la tragedia ocurrida en la bahía, el convenio tiene el objeto de controlar las emisiones que se siguen generando del elemento y eliminar su uso y residuos gradualmente. México forma parte del convenio de Minamata y dentro de sus legislaciones en materia ambiental se intenta regular el manejo de las sustancias químicas para así evitar contribuir a la contaminación del medio ambiente.
Inferencias causales sobre la denuncia de violencia familiar. Impactos del empleo, seguro y vivienda
Authors: San Román Tajonar Guillermo
Published: June 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es aislar el efecto causal del tipo de violencia y de la situación de la pareja sobre la propensión de la víctima a denunciar la violencia familiar. Para ello, se analizan datos del Banco Nacional de Datos e Información sobre Casos de Violencia contra las Mujeres (Banavim). Nuestra propuesta es doble: primero, balancear la muestra mediante Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM); y segundo, estimar el efecto del tratamiento en los tratados en la muestra (SATT). Probamos 21 tratamientos en 15 tipos de violencia. Nuestros resultados muestran que la violencia económica hace menos probable la denuncia; éste es un resultado que no consta en la literatura previa. También mostramos que la violencia física y económica moderan mutuamente sus efectos sobre la denuncia, y que vivienda rentada, no afiliación a seguro social y agresor que no trabaja predicen que la víctima acudirá a las autoridades. El lugar donde ocurre el episodio es relevante para explicar la denuncia de violencia psicológica.

Biodiversity metrics are increasingly in demand for informing government, businesses, and civil society decisions. However, while there are many metrics available, it is not always clear to end-users how they differ or for what purpose they are best suited. This confusion undermines uptake. Here, we seek to clarify these questions by reviewing and presenting a database of 573 biodiversity-related metrics, indicators, indices and layers (hereafter ‘metrics’). Of these metrics, 227 are spatial data layers and 272 are temporal indicators. Assessed in relation to the pressure-state-response-benefits framework, 213 address only state, 118 address only pressures, 124 address only responses and 8 address only benefits. The remaining 110 relate to combinations of the four. Among the state indicators, 217 are bottom-up metrics (aggregated from individual components), 57 top-down (compiled through extrapolation), 8 are neither, and 1 is both; while 61 measure significance (‘biodiversity importance’) 86 intactness (‘biodiversity condition’), 5 both, and 131 are neither. These metrics address aspects of genetic diversity (19), species (106) and ecosystems (214), with 38 covering more than one aspect and 196 being general metrics. Considering complementarity across these characteristics, we recommend a small number of metrics considered most pertinent for use in decision-making by governments and businesses. We conclude by highlighting five future directions: increasing the importance of national metrics, ensuring wider uptake of business metrics, agreeing a minimum set of metrics for government and business use, automation of metric calculation through use of technology, and generating sustainable funding for metric production.
Empty Locative and Temporal Expressions in Vietnamese Sentences and Their Role in Conveying Meaning
Authors: Ly Ngoc Toan
Published: June 2024

The study investigates the use of empty locative and temporal expressions (ELTEs) in Vietnamese and their role in communication. It uses two methodologies: Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) and Construction Grammar (CG). LFG examines empty locatives and temporals as non-finite sentences with empty constituents, while CG views them as schematic structures embodying abstract linguistic patterns and usage-based standards. The research uses a qualitative methodology, examining 20 Vietnamese newspapers using the NVivo 14 program for analysis. The findings reveal the various roles and subtleties of these terms in Vietnamese speech, highlighting their importance in transmitting locative and temporal information, as well as their contribution to the pragmatic and stylistic components of communication. The study emphasizes the interaction between these statements and the broader language and cultural environment. The findings contribute to Vietnamese linguistics and offer valuable insights for language teachers, learners, and scholars.

Published: June 2024

This article introduces and defines essential concepts such as the Gutman Index, the Harary Index, and the power graph within the context of integer modulo groups. It highlights Syechan and colleagues' significant contributions and their theorem, demonstrating that the power graph of the integer modulo group becomes a complete graph when the order is prime. Theorems 3.7 and 3.8 further provide formulas for calculating the Harary and Gutman Indices for the power graph of Integer modulo groups, offering valuable insights into the structural properties and connectivity of these mathematical and chemical compounds, ultimately bridging the gap between mathematical theory and practical applications in scientific disciplines.

CRITICAL ANIMAL STUDIES AND NON-SPECIESIST PERCEPTION OF ANIMALS IN THOMAS HARDY'S POETRY
Authors: Bulut Sarıkaya Dilek
Published: June 2024

This study intends to foreground Thomas Hardy’s (1840-1928) social and ecological responsibility to the ongoing animal exploitation by analyzing his poems from the perspective of a recently emerging theory of critical animal studies. Hardy’s poetic responsiveness to the unjust human treatment of animals as disposable materials to be used and consumed is worthy of critical attention pertaining to his depiction of animals as self-conscious, intelligent, and emotional individuals. Going against the conventional anthropocentric assumptions of the Victorian period perceiving animals as insentient, passive, and automated objects who cannot feel pain and suffering, Hardy adopts an animal-oriented viewpoint and confronts his readers with the dreadful consequences of implacable human attitude to animals. In addition to giving voice to animals who are tortured and murdered for trivial human reasons, Hardy disentangles the indubitable principles of humanity and its moral standards which give consent to the infliction of pain and anguish on another living being. While questioning the morality of human values, Hardy depicts animals as moral communities who are perfectly accomplished and sufficiently advanced to initiate meaningful interaction with their environment. An elucidation of Hardy’s poetry from the viewpoint of critical animal studies, hence, will provide a broad insight into Hardy’s scientific understanding of the universe, replete with intelligent, socially and emotionally developed individuals who deserve respect and approbation of humans.
