Mormons and Mohammedans: Race, Religion, and the Anti-Polygamy Bar in US Immigration Law
Authors: Lim Julian
Published: February 2022

This article explores the history of the little-known polygamy exclusion in the 1891 Immigration Act. Tracing the development of this polygamy restriction in the late nineteenth century, the article shows how anxieties about the European migration of Mormon converts shaped immigration legislation, which was then almost immediately redirected to regulate the migration of Turkish immigrants by the early 1900s. Racialized as “American Mohammedans,” Mormons came to embody a foreign, “uncivilized,” and semi-imperial threat for many nineteenth-century Americans. As the persecution of Mormons receded in the 1890s, however, the increasing visibility of Muslim immigrants from the Ottoman Empire fed new fears about religious difference, racial inferiority, and sexual and marital deviance. US immigration officials addressed such concerns by attempting to apply the polygamy exclusion on Turkish immigrants, but soon found themselves at the center of diplomatic tensions between US and Ottoman officials. Analyzing the imperial negotiations at play as US immigration law ran up against the power of the Ottoman Empire, the article brings deeper attention to the ways in which the policing of polygamy and “proper” marital formations were ultimately shaped by anxieties over race, religion, and empire.
Immigration Attorneys and Chinese Exclusion Law Enforcement: The Case of San Francisco, 1882–1930
Authors: Xu Tian Atlas
Published: February 2022

This article examines the historical correlations between Chinese exclusion law enforcement and the career patterns of immigration attorneys in San Francisco. Built on a rich historiography about Chinese exclusion and state formation in the United States, it views these attorneys as a unique interest group to make sense of their intermediary role between the administrative state and the transnational Chinese community. Drawing from both traditional sources and a collection recently made public by Stanford University, it looks at three groups of Euro-American lawyers who, for five decades, dominated the business of Chinese immigration legal services at the Golden Gate: lawyers from the private sector, former United States attorneys, and officials-turned-attorneys who emerged in the late 1910s. The article argues that these lawyers’ background and priorities closely corresponded and evolved with the decline of judicial review and the rise of the immigration authorities’ near-plenary power over the project of exclusion. The lawyers’ work provides fresh insights into the key paradox in the history of Chinese exclusion, that despite its constant search for efficiency, local enforcement of the exclusion laws often reduced the anti-Chinese policy to routinized, counterproductive procedures. It finds that many US attorneys and immigration inspectors who later chose to become attorneys for the Chinese had been diligent federal employees. Their shifting positions prove bureaucratic malice towards Chinese immigrants to be anything but monolithic and challenge historians’ established dichotomy between an anti-Chinese state and Chinese in America.
A Testament on the Challenges of Holding HANDS UP
Authors: Green Omiyẹmi Artisia
Published: February 2022

Due to evolving racial dynamics on the US national stage in 2020, the William & Mary Theatre production of HANDS UP: 7 PLAYWRIGHTS, 7 TESTAMENTS pivoted to an interactive conversation featuring select directors and actors. In this essay, I employ autocritography as a strategy to reflect on the process from proposal to production to pivot to conversation. I also consider the role of Black performances of trauma in a time of crisis, and the need for more equitable and inclusive educational theater environments for Black actors.
Because the movement, it’s never done
Authors: Battles Natalie , King Kathi
Published: February 2022

The South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) is a cultural hub, meeting place, and gallery on the South Side of Chicago. The only surviving Works Progress Administration (WPA) community art center, it functions as a space for African American art, intergenerational dialogue, and as an institution for community education in the arts. In this interview with Natalie Battles, artist, activist, and former employee at the SSCAC, we learn about the center’s history and its connections with social and cultural movements, her work there, and what it is like to be a young artist involved with a long-standing institution of African American art.
Meaning, Encounter, and Reclamation: Relistening to the Appalachian Oral History Project
Authors: Sikes Scott
Published: February 2022

The Appalachian Oral History Project (AOHP) is an archive of oral histories collected in the early 1970s from thousands of residents of the Appalachian region. The project created a trove of data for scholars in multiple disciplines who were interested in studying and researching the region and its history and culture. Interviewers conducted a significant portion of the oral histories with African American residents of the region. However, in the intervening decades, researchers have done little with these histories or the larger project that they make up. What do these oral histories have to say today about African American identities in Central Appalachia and the use of oral history to confront questions of place and identity? A pilot project made use of ethnographic methods to explore these questions. Through a unique utilization of the Appalachian Oral History Project archives, the project was designed to be a conversation across time between a current resident of the region and those who long ago told their own stories of what it meant to make a life as a black American in Central Appalachia. Such a method offers a model for a more expansive project and provides direction for both a reconsideration of the uses of oral history collections and for future critical archival scholarship.
“Detroit under STRESS”: The Campaign to Stop Police Killings and the Criminal State in Detroit
Authors: McCoy Austin
Published: February 2022

During the early 1970s, a broad-based campaign comprising liberal and radical organizations emerged to confront the Detroit Police Department’s clandestine “Stop the Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets” (STRESS) unit. The campaign to defeat STRESS drew from a diverse set of tactics; activists organized marches, demonstrations, and political education events and engaged in movement-based lawyering, public testimony, and electoral politics. As casualties of STRESS accumulated, Detroiters framed the unit as a killer squad with the primary purpose of terrorizing Black Detroiters. The STRESS killings during the early 1970s and the movement against them made Detroit a flashpoint for debate about race, crime policy, and effective policing, with far-reaching implications for both the police and the city.

The campaign to defeat STRESS demonstrated the efficacy of Detroit’s Left during the early 1970s. The left wing of the movement, comprised of radical Black Power activists and white New Leftists, accomplished two overlapping goals. It not only helped build a vast coalition of organizations around the issue of police brutality but also, importantly, developed and articulated its own original analysis of radical criminology. Leftists critiqued the criminal state as the nexus between the state and private sector; these institutions swallowed resources and damaged lives. Challenging liberal theories of crime emphasizing individual agency, radicals advanced a structural analysis emphasizing racism’s and capitalism’s destructive impulses—deindustrialization, exploitation of workers, violent policing, and privatization, in the service of consumption and capital investment.
The Coca-Cola Games: Marketing Legacies of the Atlanta Olympic Games
Authors: Ellis Dana , Leopkey Becca
Published: February 2022

The 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta represented a turning point in the commercial orientation of the Olympics. While arguably a commercial success, the Atlanta Games were, and continue to be, heavily criticized for their overly commercial nature. Now, more than twenty years after the Atlanta Games, this article retrospectively examines their long-term marketing legacies. Employing a qualitative case design built from a detailed document analysis using a combination of historical and contemporary sources, this article identifies key marketing and organizational events, circumstances, strategies, and challenges of the Atlanta Games and discusses how they have arguably impacted the future course of Olympic marketing and sponsorship in an effort to expand knowledge and understanding of event management-related legacies.
Wintertime Mercenaries: Contextualizing Foreign-Born Athletes at the Winter Olympics, 1924–2018
Authors: Bigalke Zachary R.
Published: February 2022

Media, fans, and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge have all claimed a rising trend over the past two decades of foreign-born athletes competing at the Olympics, framing such participation as “mercenary” in nature. Previous studies have disputed popular perceptions that the Summer Olympics have seen an increased rate of foreign-born participation. Utilizing publicly available birthplace data to build a database of foreign-born representatives at the Winter Olympics between 1924 and 2018, this study fills a gap in the extant literature on sport and national identity as it pertains to elite winter sports. Critiquing the “mercenary” label in the context of international sport, this study also offers a new lens for considering the extent to which self-interest guides the decisions of foreign-born athletes and the states that elect to incorporate them onto national teams.
“Winning for Themselves, Not for Moscow”: Baltic Independence and the Olympic Games During the 1980s
Authors: Redihan Erin E.
Published: February 2022

This article looks at efforts by the Baltic community in the United States to use international sport as an anti-Soviet platform during the 1980s. These efforts included campaigns involving the 1980, 1984, and 1988 Olympic Games (Summer and Winter). Using archival materials from the Baltic American Freedom League and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, along with other primary sources, this article argues that the Baltic community was able to attract considerable publicity to their cause through the platform of international sport. The best known of these endeavors was the Ban the Soviets Coalition, a group which contributed to the Soviet Union’s boycott of the Los Angeles Summer Olympics in 1984.
The American Polonia through the Eyes of Hieronim Derdowski: A Study Based on the Wiarus Weekly Magazine, 1886–1902
Authors: Kierlańczyk Karolina
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this article is to shed additional light on the hopes, conflicts, and struggles of the Polish diaspora in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through an analysis of views on education, religious life, and fraternal organizations of the American Polonia presented in a popular weekly, the Wiarus, between the years 1886 and 1902. It is also to introduce Hieronim Derdowski—poet, journalist, and publisher—as a subject worthy of wider scholarly research and discussion.1
Radical Pink: The Aesthetics of Visionary Black Girlhood in Sadie Barnette’s “Dear 1968 …” and Black Sky
Authors: Hernandez Jillian
Published: February 2022

This article analyzes two projects by Sadie Barnette, “Dear 1968 …” (2017) and Black Sky (2018), that draw from the 500+-page surveillance file the Federal Bureau of Investigation collected on her father Rodney Barnette, who was a member of the Black Panther Party’s chapter in Los Angeles. Barnette modifies the surveillance file with glitter paper and pink markings and situates them in immersive installations that include bedazzled family photographs and icons, such as Hello Kitty, that reference her girlhood in the 1980s. I discuss how the feminine semiotics in these projects simultaneously redact information in the FBI file to thwart the spectacularization of Black suffering, while annotating it with her decorative gestures as a form of intimate recognition for her father and Black people, as well as a Black feminist critique of white oppression and hetero-patriarchal ethno-nationalisms. I pay particular attention to how the feminine aesthetics in these works articulate Black girlhood as a site of visionary potential.
Danitra Vance’s Cabrini Green Jackson and the Performance of Black Girlishness
Authors: Crockett Destiny
Published: February 2022

Trough analysis of comedienne Danitra Vance’s 1986 Saturday Night Live sketch performances of a 17-year-old character named Cabrini Green Harlem Watts Jackson, this paper argues that performances of Black girlishness can explicate that while anti-Black and sexist violence and domination suggest that white people do not perceive Black girls as children, there are indeed telltale indicators of Black girlishness. Educators, artists, and scholars who seek to understand and defend Black girls have made the claim that since Black girls are not perceived as children, they do not have girlhoods, and this paper’s argument complicates that claim. From Vance’s diction to her movements and sartorial choices, Cabrini Green represents the paradox of perceived innocence and perceived waywardness and womanishness, an age-old characteristic of African American girlhood as a set of experiences and as a set of ideas.
Embodied Knowledge: Poetry in Motion
Authors: Smalls Kamari
Published: February 2022

This essay explores feelings conjured through the poetic works of June Jordan, Sonia Sanchez, Carolyn M. Rodgers, and Audre Lorde performed through dance. In an effort to stray away from dance as representation, movement in the form of dance manifests the inner feelings and memories that poetry prompts. I argue for vulnerability and the intentional giving of the self that makes this process possible and felt by the viewer. The process entails an embodied knowledge that centers the knowing of Black women, girls, and femmes: a knowing that is experiential and rooted in the body.
2323BlackLuna
Authors: cian paris cyan
Published: February 2022

2323BlackLuna is an experimental moving image, embodied portal, honoring meditation with/in darkness, dark space. In this project, darkness serves as creative in/sight for the practice and spiritual processing of Black girl eroticism and love through dance and movement. 2323BlackLuna inundates the goings and magic of process, centering play within concepts of corporeality, liminality, and time-traveling. Alice Walker and Audre Lorde challenge, guide, and support the portal between the spiritual and the political, shaping the meditation of “love at its deepest meaning.” This work leans into Black girl imagination, contributing to Black girlhood studies, spirituality, performance, and visual arts epistemology. It is an ode to solitude; love as pleasure, a journey of the now, Black girl healing.
Radical Love Unlimited: A Biomythography
Authors: Cahill Loren
Published: February 2022

This is an experimental text of creative nonfiction. Radical love is defined, and its trivariate dimensions are illustrated—(re)memory, ritual, and (re)imagination—through the lived and imagined experiences of the author. She engages in the genre of biomythography through the speculative mediums of letter writing, memoir, and journaling. She attempts to expand the category of Blackgirlhood and Blackgirls’ subsequent sacred pursuits of healing. This work may be used as an intervention in a wide variety of capacities, but it stands, first and foremost, as a mirror for Blackgirls to bear witness to themselves being centered, as well as another opportunity for them to also see other Blackgirls who love them. This writing is constructed for their utility.
Contrapuntal Reflections: Dominicans in the Haitian Imaginary
Authors: Ferly Odile
Published: February 2022

In Haitian-Dominican Counterpoint (2003), Eugenio Matibag argues that the two nations of Hispaniola have developed a symbiotic relation largely ignored by scholars, who generally regard their rapport as solely conflictual. Matibag notes the responsibility of “state-sponsored” nationalist discourses in the buildup of centuries-old tensions that have shaped the sense of collective identity on the island. His close examination of the history of paninsular relations reveals a pattern of complementariness rather than competition, especially in economic terms. Matibag, however, offers a predominantly Dominican perspective on Hispaniola, as most evident in his discussion of the Haitian figure in Dominican literature. While the pivotal part played by Haitianness in the Dominican psyche has come under increasing scrutiny in recent scholarship, the analysis of the converse phenomenon has received far less attention.

This article examines the symbolic role of Dominicanness in the Haitian literary imaginary. After a succinct recapitulation of common depictions of Haitianness in the Dominican imaginary and collective identity, followed by a survey of the gendered characterization of Dominicans in Caribbean writing and societies at large, this article briefly turns to Dominican representations in Edwidge Danticat’s “Between the Pool and the Gardenias” (1993) and The Farming of Bones (1998) and then to the portrayal of the Dominican specter that figures in Gary Victor’s A l’angle des rues parallèles (2003). Perhaps unexpectedly, these Haitian texts published around the turn of the millennium illustrate in many ways the complementariness and collaboration that Matibag regards as characteristic of paninsular relations on Hispaniola.
“Through some kind of veil”: Queering Race and the Maternal in Patricia Powell’sThe Pagoda
Authors: Pak Yumi
Published: February 2022

Patricia Powell’s The Pagoda, published in 1998, is an aesthetic actualization of the in-betweenness of Jamaica’s purported self-definition as diasporic, hybrid, multiple. Jamaica, as with many countries in the Caribbean that withstood and resisted their respective European colonizing nations, is a site that makes visible its histories of Indigenous servitude and genocide, the importing of African slaves and subsequent indentured laborers from Asia, and the continuous presence of hegemonic systems of repressive and ideological powers. Taking place in 1893, after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire but well before Jamaican independence, Powell’s novel harkens back to Olive Senior’s parrot that finds itself caught between what was, what is, and the unavoidable shifts wrought by the invasion that is the British Empire (Senior 2005). Inasmuch as Senior’s parrot can be read as a reflection of Jamaica’s diasporic, hybrid, and multiple self-definition, I turn to Powell’s characters—specifically her protagonists Lowe and Miss Sylvie—to consider what purpose such an in-between can serve. I begin by arguing for a reading of Lowe as one who brings to the forefront the tensions of colonial logic by virtue of his race, gender, and sexuality, none of which are easily categorized, or indeed, easily known. I propose that, by situating Lowe, a Chinese Jamaican, both within and outside expected codes of racialized, gendered, and sexualized behaviors, The Pagoda lays bare the ways in which colonial logic—manifesting as demands for purity and order—derails any move toward liberation. If Lowe functions as the primary conduit of this argument, I contend that Miss Sylvie, his wife, offers an alternative venue for radical possibilities that fall outside the rigid conventions of 1890s Jamaica, a Black maternal that is always already the queer maternal, what I call in this article the “Black queer maternal”—a maternal that does not rely on reproduction, either literal or figurative, as its raison d’être. Powell challenges the colonial logic of discrete identity markers and categorizations in Lowe’s adopted country of residence, not to reverse it but to illuminate the unexpected possibilities that arise from the space of refusal, and the space of the diasporic, hybrid, multiple that is Jamaica.
Women, Art, and Activism in Guyana
Authors: Ali Grace Aneiza
Published: February 2022

This curatorial essay explores the dynamic role of Guyanese women artists and their persistence in using the arts to counter dangerous single stories of Guyana. These are women who have labored for their country, women who are in service to a larger vision of what Guyana is, can, and ought to be in the world. While honoring an older generation of Guyanese women, the essay simultaneously highlights a younger generation of Guyanese women across various stages in their artistic practices who have gained newfound power and an emancipatory vision through the arts. As a whole, this younger generation uses their artistic practices to resist a legacy of absence and invisibility of Guyanese women, even while the cadre of contemporary women artists of Guyanese heritage remains relatively under the radar—to both Guyanese people and on the world stage.

Towards a Museum of Mutuality – Editorial
Authors: (Vasso) Belia Vasiliki , Buikema Rosemarie , Schavemaker Margriet , Sitzia Emilie , Wevers Rosa
Published: February 2022

Engendering integration while acknowledging differences is one of the biggest challenges facing museums globally today. Institutions must reconceptualize the relationship between their collections and the engagement with (new and diverse) audiences at all levels. In response, there has been a shift in the museum model, both theoretically and on the level of institutional arrangements, from the museum as a site of authority to the post-museum as a site of mutuality.[1] The act of curating at its most basic is about connecting different concepts and cultures, and bringing their elements into proximity with each other in order to create innovative ways of seeing that counter social injustice and promote equity on all possible levels. Beyond the museum as “contact zone,”[2] and following Terry Smith, the curatorial turn is interested in exploring new contexts and relationships, and working with an artifact’s ability to reveal hidden knowledge.[3] Museums have become spaces for knowledge creation as well as agents of social regeneration and vehicles of broad social change.
Understanding Audience Participation Through Positionality: Agency, Authority, and Urgency
Authors: Cruickshanks Lorna , van der Vaart Merel
Published: February 2022

For a number of decades, museums have been challenged to rethink their relationships with visitors: from the New Museology,[1] highlighting the social role of museums in the late 1980s through a growing focus on engagement, outreach, and representation, to the concept of participation popularized in the early 2000s by, among others, Nina Simon. Since Simon defined “a participatory cultural institution as a place where visitors can create, share, and connect with each other around content,”[2] researchers and practitioners have continued to consider the multiple factors that influence participation practices within museums.[3] The complexity of museum audiences has increasingly become recognized—understood as having different interests, backgrounds, and values. These diverse audiences are, however, often set in opposition to “The Museum,” a homogenous entity. But every museum is different, each uniquely shaped by its collections and its history, as well as the people who work there. By overlooking these differences, we fail to critically engage with the way that participatory practices develop and are understood differently in different organizations.

Temporality and Universalism in the Contemporary Ethnographic Museum: Two Collection Presentations at the Tropenmuseum
Authors: Vulkers Luuk
Published: February 2022

The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam is currently in a process of making innovative changes to its displays. The museum aims to critically engage with its own past and simultaneously be an inclusive platform for reimagining the future. Especially for an ethnographic institution like the Tropenmuseum, these are complex tasks. The museum was founded in 1864 as the Koloniaal Museum (Colonial Museum) in Haarlem. In the first half of the twentieth century, the institute’s main purpose became to collect, categorize, and display products and cultures from the colonies, establishing a Dutch national identity and expressing cultural dominance and superiority over the country’s colonies. These colonial foundations still manifest themselves in the institute’s collection, as well as in the imposing architecture of the building that has housed the museum since 1923, determining the institute’s conditions of existence in the present.
Dancing at the Museum: Parataxis and the Politics of Proximity in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “APESHIT”
Authors: Plate Liedeke
Published: February 2022

The curatorial turn, with its shift of attention from the individual (autonomous) artwork toward the exhibition and the role of the curator in its creation,[1] has brought about a renewed focus on the museum as a political space; a space for experimentation and for transformation, for knowledge creation, and for social regeneration. In this article, the rhetorical figure of parataxis will be developed as a concept to inquire into what happens when performers dance at the museum, and how such dancing can be an agent of social change. For this, I focus on the music video “APESHIT” (2018) and bring rhetorical theory in dialogue with recent theory on proximity, to build on Mary Louise Pratt’s notion of the contact zone as a social space “where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today.”[2] Filmed at the Musée du Louvre and released to promote the new album of R&B singer Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, the music video produces the art museum as a contact zone by bringing black dancers and singers into its space and staging relations between the performers and some of its iconic pieces. Exploring the ways in which the politics of proximity, contiguity, and access in “APESHIT” interface with those of representation to challenge the white colonialist narrative of the museum, this article seeks to understand how dancing affects the social space of the museum and what kind of knowledge dancing at the museum produces.
Towards Mutuality in International Museum Cooperation: Reflections on a Swiss-Ugandan Cooperative Museum Project
Authors: Laely Thomas , Meyer Marc , Mugume Amon , Schwere Raphael
Published: February 2022

Thinking about a “museum of mutuality” affords the question of who the actors are and, accordingly, between whom mutuality is a characteristic of their relationship, ideally or practically. The call for papers for this special issue invited contributors to examine how museums and audiences are intertwined in mutuality. Over the last few decades, expectations directed to this relationship have tended to point towards its “democratization”[1] and inclusiveness, towards opening the institution as a forum for sociocultural exchange and debate, towards plurivocality concerning representation, and towards greater accessibility to and renegotiation of the ownership of its collections.[2] It is anticipated, and according to the current trends in museology rightly so, that museums are transforming from being inward-looking institutions that communicate unilaterally from an authoritarian and custodian position, to becoming outward-looking organizations that insert themselves permeably into society. Mutuality is commonly understood as a moral value or a principle of seeking reciprocally referential “mutually positive relations.”[3] The present article focuses on the analysis of mutuality in the relations between museums themselves, not between museums and other external stakeholders, such as representatives of communities of the provenance of collections or museum audiences. Specifically, we examine if and how this quality manifests itself in a trilateral cooperative research and curatorial arrangement between one Swiss and two Ugandan museums. Thereby we depart from the assumption that, firstly, the abovementioned transformation of museums has also formed the manner of interaction of African with European museums and, secondly, we are convinced that it is high time for an empiric analysis of transnational museum cooperation practices.
Procedural and Declarative Knowledge: The Swedish and Vietnamese learners' acquisition of knowledge in English grammar, and Pedagogical Implications
Authors: Son Thanh Vi
Published: February 2022

In this study, the L2 acquisition of English third person-s in different settings is examined. Two types of knowledge are declarative knowledge as the knowledge about a grammatical rule, and procedural knowledge as the ability to use these rules in spoken production. Data on procedural and declarative knowledge was collected from 32 young L2 learners in Sweden and 44 in Vietnam. The learners' acquisition of English grammar was assessed using elicitation instruments that captured procedural and declarative knowledge of English subject-verb agreement on third person singular s (3-sg-s). Procedural knowledge was tested using communicative tasks where the participants were asked to describe a boy's habitual action orally in a picture series. Declarative knowledge of grammar was investigated by means of a metalinguistic task. The learners were asked to correct the sentences and explain the reasons for their choices by referring to grammatical rules. The average scores on procedural and declarative tests within each group were statistically analyzed. The results show differences in learner outcomes, in that the Swedish learners are better at procedural knowledge and the Vietnamese learners are better at declarative knowledge. It is suggested the two types of knowledge are independent of each other. Implications for language learning and teaching for young learners will be further discussed based on the teaching practices as found in Son (2018).
ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH, ENERGY CONSUMPTION, CARBON EMISSIONS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE V4 COUNTRIES
Authors:   University of Prešov, Faculty of Management and Business, Chovancová Jana , Litavcová Eva ,   University of Prešov, Faculty of Management and Business, Shevchenko Tetiana ,   Sumy National Agrarian University, The Faculty of Economics and Management
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper is to assess the long-term and short-term relationships between economic growth, energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the share of energy produced from renewable energy sources in the V4 countries in the period 1992-2019. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing methodology was applied for each of the examined variables as a dependent variable. The ARDL bounds reliably confirmed long-run cointegration between carbon emissions, energy consumption, economic growth, and renewables in Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland. Economic growth has a significant impact on carbon emissions in the long run in all of these three countries. Energy consumption has a significant impact on carbon emissions in the long-run in Poland; however, renewables significantly impact carbon emissions in Czechia and Slovakia. Understanding the interrelationships between the variables examined is essential for making informed and responsible decisions on climate and energy policies, strategies and actions in individual countries.
CFD AND THERMAL ANAYSIS ON AC CONDENSOR
Authors: Kumar B. Phanindra
Published: February 2022

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, by cooling it. In so doing, the latent heat is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the condenser coolant. Condensers are typically heat exchangers which have various designs and come in many sizes ranging from rather small (hand-held) to very large industrial-scale units used in plant processes. For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. Condensers are used in air conditioning, industrial chemical processes such as distillation, steam power plants and other heat-exchange systems. Use of cooling water or surrounding air as the coolant is common in many condensers. In general all solid and non solid model will deform when certain amount of thermal or structural loads applied within the environmental condition. In order to find the changes of the product or component, a analysis software is used. Ansys is an analytic software to find changes in deformation, Product life, Failures, heat flux(change of heat flow with respect to time and distance) and CFD (flow of air or water or any gas or liquid in the body). In this project the model is Designed with respect to all the available constraints using an advanced cad softwares like Creo parametric, solid works, catia and solid edge. Later the product file is converted to ".stp" file format (standard exchange of product file) and imported to ansys workbench to find deformation and analytic valve with respect to the model or product definitions. In this project the product was undergone various types of analysis to find frequencies with respect to gravity or mass by using Modal analysis and by Using static structural analysis total deformation, stress and strain valve, product life

The traditional Indian cities in the path of urbanization depict unique combination of historic, cultural and modern values, that can be a wonder or a flaw. The city cores of many historic cities are being saturated, due to the rapid urbanisation and unplanned developments of the past. There is an arising need to integrate the traditional and modern culture in the city cores, to keep up the traditional values of the city being lost. Urban regeneration initiatives for such cities, will enhance the indigenous cultural and heritage values and integrate the modern developments to the traditional culture through placemaking initiatives. This research paper proposes strategies for the regeneration of city core, through a case study of a historically and culturally famous city of Thrissur, India. The study is majorly focused on existing built structures and the indigenous spatial and cultural activities and requirements from the city core. The study attempts to look at the case study area through the perspective of space as a physical entity, that has undergone multiple changes in the past few decades and if there is a need for management for its future developments.

Nature is the main visual apparel design sources of inspiration have a creative function. Clothing design is examined in terms of its early phases of development, how design inspiration is acquired, and how it affects clothing design's creativity and uniqueness, among other things. Naturalism's objectivity is shown by its interest in human nature and its factual portrayal in scientific ways with the goal of discovering the genuine meaning of human existence in nature. To begin, we'll go through the terms "naturalism" and "natural clothing" in brief. Nature-friendly and high value modem designs may be created by grafting natural pictures onto human bodies, according to the paper's notions. To find out whether universal design can be used in the apparel industry, this research looked at the possibilities. Key words: Naturalism, Theme selection, Inspiration, Nature Inspiration.

There are several ways in making learning activities more engaging and interesting to computer science students. In addition to traditional higher education (curriculum, project-based approaches, lectures, labs), we consider competitive approaches such as hackathons to develop hard and soft skills. Computer science education needs to change requirements for hard and soft skills. In order hard skills university CS education has to capture the changes behind the trends, such as big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc. Developing soft skills is important teamwork, end-user awareness, collaboration, etc. This study aims to present the various ways to implement hackathons in the context of CS education. We also present a taxonomy of hackathons based on our experiences and observations from 2016 to the present. We aim to share our lessons learned on the following issues: (1) How can hackathons be designed in CS education to teach students necessary skills and competencies; (2) what kinds of programming projects monitoring and evaluation we need during hackathons.

The objectives of this research are to optimize extraction condition for total phenolic compounds from 'Tubtim Siam' pummelo peel using ultrasonic assisted extraction and to determine antioxidant activities of the crude extracts. Variables used to study the optimal extraction conditions of total phenolic compounds include concentration of ethanol (10-50 %v/v), extraction time (15-45 min), and ratio of dried pummelo peel: ethanol solution (1:1, 1:2, 1:3). Furthermore, the optimal were determined using a response surface methodology (RSM) by Box Behnken design. The results showed that these three factors affected the yield of extracted total phenolic. Moreover, the statistical analysis provided indications that the data obtained from the experiment should be fitted to polynomial equation because of its high coefficient of determination with R-square = 0.9294. The highest yields of total phenolic compounds were obtained when the samples were dissolved in ethanol at 35%v/v, the extraction time was set at 30 min and the ratio of solid/ethanol was 1:2. Under these optimal conditions, the highest total phenolic compounds yield were 13.67 ± 0.52 mgGAE/gDW from experimental values and 13.66 mgGAE/gDW from predicted values and the scavenging activity of percentage of inhibition by DPPH assay was 32.58 %.
