Unsettling Touch and Aversion to Manipulation
Authors: Deputan Jade
Published: July 2023

The ‘film body’ as outlined by film theorist Jennifer Barker, explains the idea that a film is not just an object to be viewed, but a subject to be experienced. In the world of animation film, there have been many filmmakers that treat their film as its own body due to the tedious nature of self-figuration. Jennifer Barker’s theory for the ‘film body’ outlines perfectly the feelings and emotions expressed through Jan Švankmajer’s work in claymation. While his entire filmography in claymation exhibits a personal and unique feeling to the viewer, his short film Dimensions of Dialogue captures three different types of tactility. The tactility he represents in the three divisions (‘dialogues’) of this short film works to provoke a tactile response in the viewer that in turn forces the association of this physical response to unique feelings. These dialogues each serve a purpose to engage in the very personal and intimate nature of the vast range of human dialogue and discourse. The film abuses familiar objects, sounds, and clay to invoke a tactile response in the viewer that allows them to further occupy and relate to the purpose of each dialogue. Švankmajer’s ability to engage a physical response in the viewer created a unique form of storytelling that posits the film as both an instrument and a corporeal experience.
Sinofuturism as Speculative Design
Authors: Lau Ashley
Published: July 2023

The video essay Sinofuturism (1839–2046 AD) by artist Lawrence Lek is difficult to categorize. It is an hour-long film collaging documentaries, news clips, video games, and CGI.  Most often exhibited and discussed in a (new) media arts context, it has been described as a pseudo-documentary, a manifesto, a conspiracy theory, science fiction, and “radical realism.” As an architect-by-training, musician, simulation artist, and now filmmaker, Lek himself is equally difficult to pin down. Given the artist’s formal training in a design discipline, it is curious that Sinofuturism has not yet been discussed by scholarship through the lens of design. This essay discusses Sinofuturism (1839–2046 AD) for the first time as a work of speculative design. First, I introduce the work and its creator. Next, I discuss its negative reception, laying the basis for my central argument that analyzing Sinofuturism as a work of speculative design might yield more fruitful insights and discussion. I then explore the emerging field of speculative and critical design (SCD) and its potential to critique and reimagine societal structures. Finally, I discuss the effectiveness of Sinofuturism as a work of speculative design and analyze its vision, whether it be utopian, dystopian, or something else.
Spirituality and Spaceflight
Authors: Erickson Patrick
Published: July 2023

While the advent of space flight is relatively new, humankind has always had a fascination with the heavens. Ancient religions across numerous civilizations had spiritual and/or religious beliefs as to what lay in the heavens, or what is now referred to as outer space. Humans constantly searched for answers among the stars and believed space to be a place of the Gods. Though religious institutions, such as the Catholic Church, were often at odds with scientific discoveries, the astronomers did not let that dampen their spirits. This overlap between spirituality and space science continued right into the dawn of achievable space flight technology. Important engineers such as Werner von Braun were driven by faith and their belief it was humankind’s destiny to unravel the mysteries of the heavens. Almost all of the NASA astronauts and engineers during the Gemini and Apollo programs held strong spiritual beliefs. And beyond that, many more recent astronauts have described a transformative experience during their time in space, something that several prominent psychologists have begun to explore. With the recent beginning of humankind’s next manned moon mission,  Artemis, well underway, it is time to examine the very obvious and powerful connection that exists in humans between spirituality and spaceflight. This paper will examine exactly this, with a slant towards NASA and the West and how spirituality and space will continue to interact into the foreseeable future.
Rooted Constitution: A look into the Living Tree Doctrine and Indigenous Rights
Authors: Vohra Ananya
Published: July 2023

The living tree doctrine is a landmark amendment that transformed how the Constitution was understood. However, it is often not used to its fullest extent in Indigenous rights cases. This paper explores how the underutilization of the living tree doctrine in Indigenous cases has been impacted by Canada’s settler state mentality. This essay argues that the dismissal of the living tree doctrine in Indigenous rights cases has restricted Indigenous self-governance and that this is purposely done by the Canadian state to maintain oppressive colonial power relations. The paper will first explain the reasoning behind not employing the living tree doctrine in Indigenous rights cases and how it is rooted in maintaining colonial power relationships and will then explore why and how the doctrine can help promote Indigenous rights.
Recuperation and Cooptation in Undermining the BLM Movement
Authors: Simoneau Reese
Published: July 2023

The Black Lives Matter movement, originating in 2013 is “a Black-centered political will and movement building project” (Howard University School of Law, 2018). In the spring and summer of 2020, the BLM movement was reinvigorated by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, resulting in some of the biggest protests America had ever seen. In order to deal with these protests and the demands for radical systemic change while maintaining the status quo, American corporations, government bodies, and law enforcement agencies engaged in a number of tactics broadly belonging to the idea of recuperation, the idea that "capitalism [can] appropriate even the most radical ideas and return them safely in the form of harmless ideologies” (Vague, 2012). In this paper, I use the frame of recuperation and cooptation to analyze how the demands of the BLM movement were undermined and neutralized.

Abstract
Undergraduate Students’ Morphological Awareness and Difficulties in EFL Class
Authors: Yulianawati Ida , Yoga Prawiro Indra , Anggrarini Natalia
Published: July 2023

Students' vocabulary knowledge is related to their morphological awareness, which plays an essential role in word comprehension and vocabulary development. This case study is aimed at describing undergraduate students’ morphological awareness and difficulties in morpheme identification and word relationship. This study employed the MAT test in two analytical tests. The Morpheme Identification Test is used to measure how well first-year college students can analyze and break down complicated words into their smaller meanings. Meanwhile, the Word Relation Test is administered to measure undergraduate students’ awareness of relations among base or root words and their inflected or derived forms. An interview was used to support the results of the tests. The result showed that the students performed better in breaking down inflected forms than those in derived forms. As in the Word Relation Test, it was discovered that the students had done better in identifying morphologically related word pairs. There were three types of difficulties in the morpheme identification test. The first was in breaking down complex words into smaller morphemes; the second was in stating the meaning of each smaller morpheme, especially affixes; and the third was in categorizing the complex words into inflected or derived forms.

Mechanism of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Phagocytosis
Authors: Melika Loriamini , Melissa M Lewis-Bakker , Beth Binnington , Lakshmi P Kotra , Donald R Branch
Published: July 2023

Immune cytopenias occur when the body produces antibodies that target specific hematopoietic cells, inducing extravascular antibody-mediated phagocytosis by monocyte-macrophages in the spleen and/or liver through activation of Fcγ Receptors (FcγRs). Immune cytopenias include Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions (HTR), Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN), and Autoimmune Neutropenia (AIN). Thus, novel therapeutics that inhibit phagocytosis would be useful, especially for short-term use while other therapies are being evaluated. In our earlier studies, we successfully identified two small-molecule drugs able to inhibit in vitro phagocytosis with a low IC50 concentration and negligible toxicity. These drugs, known as KB-151 and KB-208, have the potential to be utilized as lead compounds for further studies, once their mechanism of action is more clearly understood. In this regard, we have developed preliminary results that suggest that these small molecules may bind to the Fc receptors on monocyte macrophages and block the subsequent attachment of antibody-opsonized red blood cells to prevent phagocytosis.

Grammatical Errors in Pre-service English Teachers’ Argumentative Essays and their Views Regarding Error Correction
Authors: Chávez Chávez Miguel , Valenzuela Ponce Karinnette
Published: July 2023

This study seeks to identify grammatical errors in argumentative essays written by prospective teachers of English as a foreign language in the fifth semester of college, determine whether students are aware of their mistakes, and discover their experiences with grammar instruction and error correction. We conducted an Error Analysis and contrasted results with a grammaticality judgment test (GJT) to assess students’ awareness of grammatical errors detected in their essays. Using mixed methods research, we compared results with a survey to discover the students’ views on English grammar learning and error correction. The most common errors were verb phrases, subject usage, clause patterns, prepositions, and verb patterns. Of these errors, prepositions, verbs, and clause patterns were the most problematic in the GJT. When characterizing grammatical errors and contrasting them with their judgments and opinions, we found that students did not overcome their most frequent mistakes, as they failed to identify and correct the same types of errors in the GJT applied one year later. Students are aware of their grammatical weaknesses since the contents considered the most challenging to learn coincide with those in which they perform worst on the test. Finally, students suggest alternative feedback strategies, including peer monitoring, to make their error correction process reflective.

Theoretical Study of the Effects Type of Host’s Crystal on the Lasing Output of
High – Power Thin –Disk Laser
Authors: Mustafa Muwafaq Muhammed  , Mudhir Shihab Ahmed
Published: July 2023

Ytterbium-doped (Y2O3), (Sc2O3) and (YAG) crystals are very important for
high-power thin-disk lasers. These lasers have shown their ability to operate
quasi-three-level materials with high efficiency as well as high thermal conductivity
ratio for crystalline hosts. All these reasons have required studying this type of
laser. In the present work, the analytical solution was found for the equation of laser
output power, pumping threshold power, and efficiency of a quasi-three-level thin disk
laser. The numerical solution of these equations was also found through the Matlab
program at the fundamental transverse mode, at a temperature of 299K0and with high
pumping capabilities in order to know the effect of the type of crystal host (YAG,
Sc2O3,Lu2O3) on the laser production of this design and thermal effect when operating
continuously. We found out that the crystal host (Lu2O3) was the best type of these
hosts in obtaining the highest laser output power and efficiency at all values of
pumping power

Radical Polymerization Kinetics of Hexyl Methacrylate in Dimethylsulfoxide
Solution
Authors: Hala Rahman Noormohamad  , Ameen Hadi Mohammed
Published: July 2023

In this study, we conducted a series of polymerization studies of hexyl
methacrylate in dimethyl sulfoxide with (0.1 - 0.4) mol dm-3 of monomer and (1 10-3 – 4
10-3) mol dm-3 of benzoyl peroxide as initiators at 70 °C. Using the well-known
conversion vs. time technique, the effects of initiator and monomer concentration on the
rate of polymerization (Rp) were studied. An initiator of order 0.35 was obtained in
accordance with theory and a divergence from normal kinetics was detected with an order
of 1.53 with respect to monomer concentration. The activation energy was determined to
be (72.90) kJ mol-1, which does not correspond to the value of most thermally initiated
monomers. The observed value of activation energy suggests that propagation and
termination reactions have equal activation energy and the difference between them is
nearly zero. The average degree of polymerization (DPn) decreased as benzoyl peroxide
concentration increase whereas an increase in solvent polarity has slightly increased
rate of polymerization value.

Identifying and describing vegetable marketing channels and marketing functions performed by marketing agencies, it is necessary to analyze the efficiency of vegetable marketing channels. The research method used was a survey method by conducting 35 samples of farmers who farmed three commodities, namely large chilies, cabbage, and chinese cabbage—selected snowball sampling method for marketing agencies. The data analysis used is marketing channel analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer's share, and marketing efficiency. The research results show that there is only one marketing channel pattern, namely farmers - collectors - wholesalers - retailers - consumers. Moreover, in every sales transaction, the market power rests with the wholesalers as price makers. Several functions include purchasing and selling parts and facility functions carried out by farmers and marketing in the marketing system. Even though the market structure is one-sided because market forces are more vital at the wholesalers, marketing from Kerinjing Village to the Jakabaring Palembang wholesale market has proven effective based on market margins, profit margins, and farmer's share. Comprehensive government support policies to build linkages between small producers and the larger market.

Quo vadis, What will be the Future of Appropriation Art?: Focusing on “The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith”
Authors:   Korea Copyright Commission, Min Kyoungjae
Published: July 2023

The Supreme Court’s ruling on “Andy Warhol v. Goldsmith” (hereinafter referred to as the “Andy Warhol case”) was made on May 18, 2023. The Supreme Court agreed with the ruling of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and ruled that Andy Warhol’s “Orange Prince” and “Prince Series” were copyright infringement, not fair use, because they could not be regarded as transformative use.
This case will be the most important case in the art world as a ruling on fair use in the past 20 years or so. And the outcome of this ruling could have a tremendous impact on the future of appropriation art, so-called pop art.
In the Andy Warhol case, the rulings of the first trial and the appeal trial were sharply divided. The first trial judged that Andy Warhol’s use could not be regarded as fair use for each factor of judgment, but as a result, it was fair use. However, the appeals court ruled in favor of Goldsmith, judging that the first trial court made a mistake in reviewing the fair use factors and that it was not fair use in all of the fair use judgment factors.
Therefore, this paper analyzed the rulings in each court. In addition, the concept of appropriation art in Korea and copyright infringement cases related to the current parody were reviewed, and what judgments would be made if the Andy Warhol ruling was applied to Korea in the future.
Finally, in Korea, it was concluded that it is desirable to actively interpret fair use doctrine as much as possible so that freedom of creation can be guaranteed if fair use is a problem in copyright infringement cases.
The Meaning and Content of Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution as a Standard for Constitutionality Review
Authors:   Korea Copyright Commission, Kang Ilshin
Published: July 2023

Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution stipulates that “the rights of authors, inventors, scientists, and artists are protected by law”. Despite being a provision that has continued since the Constitution's establishment, there has not been enough discussion in the constitutional academic community regarding its normative meaning and function, relationship with other fundamental rights, especially property rights, and concrete criteria for constitutionality review. Recently, in a case in which the Court reviewed the constitutionality of Article 9 of the Copyright Act, Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution was applied. As a result of this decision, discussions on the normative meaning of Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution and its standard for constitutionality review were triggered in the constitutional law academia. These discussions are mostly related to whether Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution has a unique meaning and performs an independent function, its normative meaning, and the concrete standard for constitutionality review. However, many ambiguous aspects remain. Therefore, this article examines the normative contents of Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution. The composition of this article is as follows. First, as a starting point, the meaning and limitations of the decision of the Court are examined. Second, by examining the US Supreme Court's doctrine about the copyrights clause and related discussions, this article seeks applicability of it to the interpretation of the Korean Constitution. Third, based on this, it critically reviews the recent discussions in constitutional law academia and offers the contents of Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution as a standard for constitutionality review.

Os grandes conversores de energia eólica estão cada vez mais populares. No entanto a sua utilização onshore depara com dificuldades logísticas e técnicas de montagem dispendiosas. A indústria e a investigação têm-se concentrado na produção de torres mais leves e modulares para ultrapassar estas limitações. A Torre Autoelevatória (Self erecting Tower – SeT) é composta por painéis modulares em aço-betão assemblados com recurso a uma grua interna suportada por uma calha helicoidal fixada à face interior da torre permitindo-lhe deslocar-se ao longo da altura da torre. Foram efetuadas análises numéricas da torre e das suas partes com o objetivo principal de avaliar a viabilidade estrutural. A solução é aqui apresentada para uma turbina eólica de 5 MW com altura de 160 m.

A cidade de Manaus, capital do estado do Amazonas/AM, foi fundada no século XVII, mais precisamente no ano de 1669, a partir da construção do Forte de São José da Barra do Rio Negro, idealizado pelo capitão de artilharia, Francisco da Mota Falcão. Neste contexto, o surgimento deste núcleo urbano, localizado às margens do Rio Negro, teve como principal objetivo demonstrar a presença lusitana e fixar o domínio português na região amazônica, que naquela época já era considerada como sendo um local estratégico dentro do território brasileiro.

Desde que en 1904, en su discurso pronunciado en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo declaró que la afirmación del misterio de la Inmaculada Concepción es la unívoca manifestación del trascendentalismo católico de la estética del Barroco español, los estudios sobre las múltiples relaciones entre el dogma concepcionista y España se han multiplicado sobremanera. Sólo para citar algunos hitos ya clásicos e imprescindibles, piense el lector en el estudio de 1989 de Suzanne Stratton sobre la iconografía de la Inmaculada en la península, en la recopilación de investigaciones sociales, políticas, culturales y artísticas sobre la Inmaculada y España hecha en 2005 por Francisco Javier Campos y Fernández de Sevilla, y en la reciente actualización historiográfica codirigida por José Javier Ruiz Ibáñez y Gaetano Sabatini.

Desde que la escritora e historiadora del arte americana Linda Nochlin planteara el interrogante ¿Why have there been no great female artists? en el año 1971, las publicaciones sobre arte y feminismo han ido abordando una mayor producción y visibilidad entre la literatura científica. Entre otras publicaciones, podemos destacar Historias de mujeres, historias del arte (2003), de Patricia Mayayo o La Mujer y la pintura del XIX español: cuatrocientas olvidadas y algunas más (1987), de Estrella de Diego. Mujeres artistas en México, las generaciones del exilio español de la Dra. Yolanda Guasch se suma a este listado con el propósito de dotar de una mayor visibilidad a este colectivo particular, que no solo son mujeres artistas, sino también mujeres exiliadas. Este trabajo es el resultado de una ardua investigación que ha ocupado los últimos seis años de la autora y queda reflejado en un volumen de 430 páginas, acompañado de 69 ilustraciones, 27 de ellas a color que nos ayudan a identificar el estilo artístico de cada una de ellas.
Three Keys to Retaining Talented Teachers in the UAE: Leadership, Community, and Work-Life Balance – A Phenomenological Case Study in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah
Authors: Herrera Troy N. , Proff Alexandria
Published: July 2023

The United Arab Emirates hires many teachers from abroad to work in both the private and public school systems. Recruiting foreign teachers can be exceedingly costly, especially when one considers the financial investment associate with air fare, health insurance, housing, transportation, and a competitive salary, along with the substantial processing time involved in issuing work visas, professional and intercultural training. One way organizations may be able to save on additional expenditures is to retain the teachers who have been hired and are already settled in the country. Naturally, a substantial part of the decision for the teacher to remain working and living in the UAE lies with the expatriate teacher. This exploratory, case study employed a qualitative approach in which descriptive data was collected from six in-depth, semi-structured interviews exploring job satisfaction as one, of what may be other, indicators associated with of length-of-stay among expatriate teachers in the UAE. These descriptive data were analyzed using an interpretive analysis, which culminated with three selective codes: (1) Leadership and community are key to expatriate teacher’s job satisfaction; (2) School leaders’ engagement in improving behavior management would improve satisfaction; and (3) Positive work-life balance may influence expatriate teachers’ length of stay in the UAE. Taken collectively, this data may assist decision-makers, school leaders, and policy-makers on how to foster environments that promote retention among expatriate teachers in the UAE. Keywords: expatriate teachers, UAE, job satisfaction, work-life balance, school leadership

Choosing Alone? Peer Continuity Disparities in Choice-Based Enrollment Systems
Authors: Mark Nicholas D. E. , Corcoran Sean P. , Jennings Jennifer L.
Published: July 2023

We provide novel evidence on the broader impacts of school choice systems by quantifying disparities in peer continuity from middle to high school in New York City. We find that Black and Hispanic students and those in high-poverty neighborhoods attend high school with a much smaller fraction of their middle school or neighborhood peers than their White, Asian, and low-poverty neighborhood counterparts. Disparities also emerge in peer isolation: 27% and 20% of Black and Hispanic students transitioned with no other student from their middle school, while only 7% to 8% of White and Asian students did. Group differences in choice similarity, which in part reflects systematic variation in the number of local school options, drive this result.
