Developing curricula that equip designers with capabilities to enact sustainable futures: A matter of ethos
Authors:   , Kessler Charlotte
Published: October 2022

This project addresses the lack of research regarding emerging roles for designers in the 21st century and their associated capabilities, along with the lack of studies looking into how a Sustainability Ethos might emerge and pervade in sustainability-centred design programs, including their curricula and pedagogies. It draws from the voices of academics and graduate designers from four Higher Education sustainability-focused design programs internationally to proposes theoretical guidelines supporting design educators to develop, enable and sustain design programs that are responsive to a rapidly changing world, in turn equipping design graduates with relevant capabilities to create change towards sustainable futures.
Orobanche dominae (Orobanchaceae), a new species described from Tunisia, North Africa
Authors: El Mokni Ridha
Published: October 2022

Orobanche dominae El Mokni (section Orobanche L.) is described and illustrated as a new species to science, endemic to central-eastern Tunisia, North Africa. The new species is known only from a single population within olive groves of Mahdia area, where it grows on sandy loam soil and parasiting on the Tuniso-Libyan endemic Onopordum espinae Bonnet. It is a medium almost brownish-purple plant characterized by a precocious and very short blooming period. It has a cylindrical, long inflorescence with erecto-patent and long sized flowers. The corolla exhibits varying colors along with short and long glandular hairs in addition to an almost glabrous style on the lower part. The macromorphological features suggest a closer relationship of this new species to the members of the subsections Minores Teryokhin and Speciosae Novopokr., in particular with Or. crenata Forssk., Or. minor Sm., and Or. artemisiae-campestris Gaudin s.l. (so far the only known Orobanche that was mentioned parasitizing one of the Onopordum species, On. illyricum L.). Relationships and discriminating morphological features of the new species with its closest species are examined. Data on its ecological and conservation status together with its main host(s) and distributive area are also presented.
Open Science as a Key Enabler of Development
Authors: Karasz Istvan
Published: October 2022

The new European Research Area (ERA) policy paper with the Horizon Europe programme will change the continent’s Research and Innovation (R&I) ecosystems. With the support of several member states, decision-makers in European Institutions see Open Science as a key to a globally competitive European R&I system. Its success, however, also requires dedication from the national and local levels and a change in how researchers work. Interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches are becoming crucial in the new era of European research, while enhanced support and emphasis on connecting R&I leading and lagging countries can release new synergies. This article briefly introduces new tools and opportunities to help policymakers and young researchers increase their positive impact.

Modeling and plastic techniques in creation of Moldovan sculptural nudes
Authors: MARIAN Ana
Published: October 2022

There are many various materials suitable for the creation of sculptural nudes, but they are almost identical to those used to create a sculptural portrait. Among them, there is clay, stone (from limestone and granite to marble and some semi-precious stones), metals (bronze, aluminum, silver, gold), wood (of various types), wax (as a preliminary material), plasticine (which is also used for sketches) and gypsum (intended for casting works). Plastic techniques, as well as modeling ones, expand the range of interpretation of nude with the assistance of sculptural language elements and original compositional solutions. Thus, modeling techniques, in all their diversity, represent the wide scope and freedom of creativity that sculptors use to validate their ideas and artistic concepts. Plastic techniques and anatomical structures are of great importance, which, together, give originality to the works. Regardless of the period, in which the sculptors created, and of their stylistic preferences, they advocated a complex dialogue with the audience, in which the methods of modeling the material, or, in other words, the expression of the external form in the sculptural nude was a very important one.
Lipovan wooden church in Chisinau (17th-20th centuries)
Authors: CIOCANU Sergius
Published: October 2022

The documents attest the presence in the city of Chisinau of the Lipovans (Russian Old Orthodox Believers) at the end of the 18th century. In the 18th century, the Chisinau’s Lipovans had their own wooden church, located at the south of the central market square of the city. It was seriously damaged by the fire which engulfed Chisinau during the military operations of 1788. Later, the wooden church was rebuilt in the same place. After the annexation of the eastern part of the Principality of Moldova by the Russian Empire, the Lipovan community was subjected to significant persecution by the tsarist authorities regarding to abridge freedom of their religion. This policy also had repercussion on the Lipovan church. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the church underwent several alterations and repairs that changed its appearance. In the middle of the 20th century, by the decision of the Soviet city authorities, this valuable object of the historical and cultural identity of the city of Chisinau was demolished.

Comparative study between (SVM) and (KNN) classifiers by using (PCA) to improve of intrusion detection system
Authors: Alhammadi Nafea Ali majeed
Published: October 2022

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are efficient applications that monitor activities of specific network or system to detect any abnormal activity and then send alarms for a defined management station. However, the current IDSs generate a high number of false alarms; False Positives (FP) and False Negatives (FN), which decreases the accuracy of distinguishing attacks from normal activities. Therefore, this thesis introduces the implementation of enhanced IDS using two classifiers: PCA-SVM and PCA-KNN. The performance of the system with using these classifiers is compared using the NSL-KDD dataset to determine the optimal classifier in terms of detection rate and the number of generated false alarms. This is performed based on dividing the dataset into training and testing sets, where the Control Chart is then applied on the training set to improve the results, where it filters the data to remove the out-bound data and keep the data in the range from Mean-3sigma to Mean+3sigma.
    Six evaluation metrics; FP, FN, True Positive (TP), True Negative (TN), Detection Rate (DR) and Classification Rate (CR) are computed for both classifiers for three sets of features; with and without applying a control chart. The obtained results demonstrate that the PCA-KNN based IDS with control chart offers the best detection rate with minimum number of generated false alarms for sets F2 and F3, while the PCA-SVM based IDS with control chart offers the best detection rate with minimum number of generated false alarms for F1. The average achieved detection rate for the PCA-KNN based IDS is 98.17% with control chart and 88.7738% without control chart. On the other hand, the average achieved detection rate for the PCA-SVM based IDS is 97.62% with control chart and 96.63587% without control chart. Based on these outcomes, the application of control chart enhances the detection rate and decreases the number of false alarms for both classifiers. In addition, the PCA-KNN is the best classifier to be applied on the IDS with minimum number of false alarms and highest security and detection rate. Our proposed IDSs are implemented and tested in MATLAB 2014.
“The Dark Path Back”: Investigating Holocaust Memory in Sara Paretsky’s Novel Total Recall
Authors: Lassner Phyllis
Published: October 2022

Women writers challenge the popular and critical entrenchment of male-authored literary detective fiction. A close reading of Sara Paretsky’s 2001 novel Total Recall demonstrates that the ongoing quest for social justice by her woman detective, V. I. Warshawski, is addressed through assertive women’s voices that have also transformed critical approaches to women’s crime fiction. In Paretsky’s novels, V.I. finds herself in a double bind reserved for women in both social and literary terms: having to prove her stability and effectiveness as a professional detective and as a reliable first-person narrator. Total Recall ’s investigations of contemporary corporate crime trace their origins to American slavery and the Holocaust: the novel transforms the generic mean streets of crime fiction into a transnational crimescape with a two-way trajectory between contemporary Chicago and Central Europe’s sites of mass murder. But instead of plotting a conclusion that declares triumph over such evil, the novel joins forces with historical accounts to investigate the staying power of legitimized oppression and the memory of its victims. Reading the Holocaust narratives embedded in Total Recall reveals a story of inhumanity so far reaching that it transforms Paretsky’s local Chicago crimescape into a global epic.
The Limits of Drag: Women, Gender, and the Other in Hayehudim Baim
Authors: Weininger Melissa
Published: October 2022

The Israeli sketch comedy show Hayehudim Baim skewers many elements of Jewish and Israeli history, and its satirical, secular, liberal readings of biblical figures and religious practices have created political controversy. Yet despite its apparently progressive take on Jewish history and Israeli culture, the show’s use of drag as a central feature of its satire reveals certain practical and ideological lapses in its treatment of gender norms. A series of sketches about the biblical matriarchs Rachel and Leah, both married to the patriarch Jacob, demonstrates the limits of the show’s ability to engage in a progressive critique without resorting to regressive notions of gender and sexuality deeply embedded in Zionist ideology.
Nomadism and Stasis in Transparent
Authors: Omer-Sherman Ranen
Published: October 2022

Joey Soloway (previously known as Jill) approaches the Jewish story as one of perpetual wandering—between identities, between bodies, between realms of belonging. While Transparent is as arguably concerned with relationality and interdependence as untethered individualism, in the series’ tense opposition between wandering and stasis, Soloway privileges the expansive, open-ended identity of wandering over the narrowly proscribed monolithic identity that accompanies rest or arrival. Looking back on how the series has evolved, its emphasis on loss, confusion, and unsettled indeterminacy occurs most emphatically in Rabbi Raquel’s evocative words launching the third season as she struggles with a sermon about Passover. At one time or another the series revisits or otherwise evokes the ruptures of Genesis, the sense of felix culpa that accompanies all human exiles; from the Garden, Abraham’s Lech Lacha (“Get you gone from your country and from your birthplace and from your father’s house”), the expulsion of Ishmael into the desert, the narrative of Ruth the Moabite, each offering richly circuitous terrains, repetitions of wandering, wryly underscored in the uncertainties and scrambled destinies of the Pfefferman tribe.

The Nascent Indian National Congress Canvasses Britain’s Newest Electors: An Appeal on Behalf of the People of India to the Electors of Great Britain and Ireland (1885)
Authors: Pionke Albert D.
Published: October 2022

“Published and Distributed on behalf of the people of India” by five of the founding regional associations of the Indian National Congress, An Appeal on Behalf of the People of India to the Electors of Great Britain and Ireland is now exceedingly rare, with only one copy recorded in WorldCat’s digital database of library catalogs. The pamphlet attempts to influence Britain’s newest and largest constituency of electors—those enfranchised by the Third Reform Act of 1884—to cast their first votes, in the general election of 1885, with their own and Indian colonial subjects’ shared democratic principles in mind. Although unsuccessful in promoting the return of its recommended candidates, An Appeal marks a key moment in British imperial history, when the empire, as it were, came home to speak in what would become the irresistible voice of the Indian National Congress. Its annotated republication is especially appropriate in this seventy-fifth-anniversary year of Indian independence (1947).

Europejskie wytyczne leczenia orbitopatii tarczycowej zostały zaktualizowane w 2021 r., wprowadzając modyfikacje dotychczas stosowanego leczenia. Otworzyły również drogę nowym terapeutykom mogącym służyć jako alternatywa standardowego postępowania. Mimo ograniczonej dostępności niektórych preparatów na terytorium Polski w artykule przedstawiono wszystkie zalecane opcje terapeutyczne, skupiając się na praktycznym aspekcie diagnostyki i leczenia. W przypadku orbitopatii tarczycowej, umiarkowanej do ciężkiej, najkorzystniejszą opcją terapeutyczną, zgodnie z obecnym stanem wiedzy, jest zastosowanie cotygodniowych pulsów z glikokortykotsteroidów (4,5 g metylprednizolonu na cykl 12-tygodniowy) wraz z codziennym, doustnym przyjmowaniem mykofenolanu. Równorzędną opcją jest stosowanie wyższych dawek GKS (7,5 g metylprednizolonu na 12-tygodniowy cykl leczenia w porównaniu do dotychczas zalecanych 4,5 g). Zaktualizowano również propozycje leczenia drugiego rzutu. Schemat leczenia orbitopatii, która zagraża utratą wzroku, nie uległ istotnym zmianom.

Published: October 2022

Background: Respiratory complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD). The aim of this study was to examine the demographic data of subjects with NMD using a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) device and the effect of an MI-E device on quality of life (QoL) and hospitalization.

Methods: The study included patients under 18 years with NMD followed up in the Pediatric Pulmonology Polyclinic between December 2019 and December 2020. Twenty-seven patients with NMD using an MI-E for at least 3 months were enrolled in the study group and 30 patients with NMD using only manuel airway clearance techniques were enrolled in the control group. Data were collected with respect to clinical and demographic characteristics, the MI-E device settings, ease of expectoration visual analogue scores (EE), and the QoL scores. Thirteen subjects, who used an MI-E device for more than 12 months, were assessed pre-and post-MI-E use hospitalization data for respiratory reasons.

Results: The mean EE scores were significantly higher after MI-E device use compared to before. Among participants who were evaluated pre- and post-MI-E use there was a significant decrease in the number of hospital admissions and length of stay. The mean QoL scores of subjects diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with tracheostomy in study group were determined to be significantly higher than SMA with tracheostomy in control group.

Conclusions: Use of an MI-E device made a positive contribution to EE, number of hospital admissions and length of stay in patients with NMD, and it contributed positively to QoL in patients with SMA.

Highly Directive Graphene Based Hybrid Plasmonic Nanoantenna for Terahertz Applications
Authors: BISWAS RICHARD VICTOR , Farhadur Arifin
Published: October 2022

To satisfy the necessity for elevated data transmission rates in 5G and beyond networks, terahertz band communication (0.1 - 10 THz) is envisaged as a crucial wireless technology. Two-dimensional graphene nanomaterial is being extensively integrated into the plasmonic antennas as it allows them to resonate in the terahertz wave spectrum. In this paper, a graphene-based hybrid terahertz plasmonic nano-scale antenna has been modelled to acquire a maximum gain and directivity of 8.1 dB and 8.23 dBi, respectively, by varying the conductivity of graphene via gate bias voltage. Moreover, a combination of several tailored radiating layers of silver, SiO2 and graphene sheets is arranged in the proposed nanoantenna in such a way that the return loss (S11) of -26.595 dB and a wider bandwidth of 1241.3 GHz are obtained. It is evident that the proposed graphene-based hybrid plasmonic nanoantenna could be considered as an ideal candidate for terahertz communication owing to its excellent radiation characteristics.
As rádios Comunitárias e a produção de conteúdos em Moçambique - Experiências de Comunicação para o Desenvolvimento
Authors: Mangue Aida Aurora Madope
Published: October 2022

As rádios comunitárias (RCs) têm desempenhado um papel importante nos processos de desenvolvimento e fortalecimento sociopolítico das comunidades e das organizações sociais locais ligadas a elas. No contexto do Africano isso fica ainda mais presente devido a situação econômica, as características geográficas e as baixas taxas de alfabetização. Nesse texto apresenta-se um panorama contemporâneo das rádios comunitárias em Moçambique, bem como um histórico da criação das mesmas. Relaciona-se os eventos com a perspectiva da Comunicação para o Desenvolvimento, mostrando assim de que forma as emissoras foram estruturadas e apontando como são realizadas as actividades actualmente na perspectiva de compreender perfis de programação, formas de manutenção e relacionamento com os públicos. Destaca-se, também, a legislação moçambicana vigente, traçando um pequeno paralelo com o funcionamento das rádios comunitárias no Brasil. O estudo foi realizado a partir de entrevistas e observação dos sites das duas entidades que coordenam os trabalhos das rádios comunitárias em Moçambique. Por fim, aponta-se perspectivas para ampliar o trabalho de jornalismo local e hiper local, levando-se em conta o conceito de Comunicação para o Desenvolvimento e seu papel no dia-a-dia de funcionamento das emissoras comunitárias em Moçambique. Apresenta-se, ainda, as possibilidades de incrementar acções das rádios moçambicanas a partir do uso de teorias e prácticas baseadas nas experiências de Mário Kaplun, Paulo Freire, entre outros, apontando para políticas e acções que consolidem essas emissoras como um forte instrumento de agregação e integração comunitária a partir da Educomunicação.
“Despertar a curiosidade”: Sobre a crítica de traduções feitas por mulheres na França (1802-1825)
Authors: Macedo Cristian Cláudio Quinteiro
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa de Historiografia da Tradução. Seu objetivo é analisar algumas resenhas de obras traduzidas por mulheres nos primeiros anos da crítica do Journal des Débats. Dorimond de Féletz foi o único, entre tantos críticos que formavam a redação do jornal, a publicar críticas do trabalho de tradutoras ao longo dos trinta primeiros anos do século XIX. A questão que norteou nossa análise diante do corpus de trabalho foi: o fato da tradução resenhada ter sido feita por uma mulher é demarcado na crítica como um fator relevante? Sendo a resposta afirmativa, podemos tomar a noção de “tradução feminina” como uma espécie de conceito metatradutológico, usado como critério nas avaliações de traduções do período.
Metodologias de aprendizagem ativa no ensino de inglês: Crenças de professores em formação inicial
Authors: Engelbert Ana Paula Petriu Ferreira , Denardi Didiê Ana Ceni , Passos Josléia Aparecida dos
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo traz resultados obtidos em uma pesquisa sobre crenças de professores em formação inicial a respeito da implementação de Metodologias de Aprendizagem Ativa (MAA) no ensino de inglês como língua adicional (ILA). Entendemos que, para a formação de professores reflexivos (GIMENEZ, 1999; GIMENEZ et al,.2004; BORGHI et al., 2008), é necessário que sejam exploradas as diferentes metodologias de ensino, levando sempre em conta seu contexto de aplicação (D’ÁVILA, 2008). As MAA apresentam, na contemporaneidade, uma forma de mudar paradigmas arraigados do ensino tradicional, ao adotar como premissa o protagonismo do estudante em seu processo de aprendizagem. Dessa forma, por meio da análise de crenças (BARCELOS, 2007), procuramos investigar no que creem os professores em formação inicial a respeito da utilização das MAA nos contextos de ensino-aprendizagem de ILA. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, consistiu-se em um estudo de casos múltiplos (YIN, 2015), por meio de um questionário de perguntas abertas. As respostas foram analisadas com base na abordagem metacognitiva de investigação sobre crenças, conforme descrita por Barcelos (2001). Os resultados encontrados mostraram que as crenças dos participantes indicam o favorecimento da adoção das MAA nas aulas de ILA por ressaltar a autonomia, a interação e o trabalho colaborativo em sala de aula.

Aesthetic Representation of Cultural Slow Modernity Turn in the Post-epidemic Era
Authors: Zhang Nan
Published: October 2022

At the beginning of the twentieth century, modernity came onto the scene with various masks. Modernity characterized by accelerated movement and speed echoes the art of the heyday of European aesthetic modernity. But on the other hand, the rapid development of modern industry blurs the perception of the present, and the public is immersed in the pleasure of speed, thus losing the ability to feel the multi-dimensional, appealing and communicating power of the current momentary emotions. The arrival of the epidemic forced this speed to a certain degree. People began to "gaze" at their own era, breaking through the boundaries of learned perception and individualistic thinking. Based on this, Kopnik puts forward the aesthetic point of "slowing down", indicating that a new turn has begun to appear in the accelerated development of the society, that is, through the movement and interaction of the subject in the space in the diversity of time. Momentary flow. Reflected in the field of literature, the state of "slowing down" also allows creators and literary workers to re-plan aesthetic choices, and to carry out a deep sorting and writing of such an important epidemic moment in human history.

Now society has entered a new era. With the rapid development of economy, people's pursuit of a better life is becoming more and more intense. Tourism has increasingly become the leading role in people's lives, the subject of a better life, and the symbol of a national culture. Absorbing the essence of traditional culture in the design process of modern cultural and creative products can enhance the confidence of national culture. Gannan is the birthplace of Hakka people with a long history and rich Hakka culture, including historical culture, folk culture, catering culture, architectural relics, language culture, etc. This paper studies the extraction and reapplication of visual elements of children's hats based on Gannan Hakka culture, involving image processing. Wavelet transform has the ability to characterize the local characteristics of signals in time domain and frequency domain. Wavelet analysis based on wavelet transform can focus on any details of the signal in the time-frequency domain by using a scalable and translatable variable window. It can not only see the full picture of the signal, but also analyze the details of the signal, and retain the instantaneous characteristics of the data. Through research, the research effect of this paper is remarkable and suitable for wide application.

Authors: Zeng Guoguang
Published: October 2022

Ceramics, from the initial practicality to artistry, has a profound impact on social life and its value is unique. Tracing back to the origin of Chinese ceramic art, the application of decorative patterns is legendary. These decorative arts with national and cultural characteristics have distinctive characteristics of the times. Traditional culture is embedded in decorative patterns, which are dominated by the spirit of traditional culture. It is a profound historical accumulation of national traditional culture. Looking at the decorative patterns of ceramic art, these patterns are melting the collision of thoughts, reflecting the ceramic decorative patterns of the light of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and are also the profound embodiment of the cultural and artistic values of Chinese civilization. This article mainly takes Ganzhou Qilizhen kiln ceramic design as an example to interpret the application of traditional culture in ceramic decorative art. A curve fitting technique based on adaptive genetic algorithm is proposed. The process of curve fitting using adaptive genetic algorithm and curve tools is described in detail, and the comparison results are given. The research shows that the adaptive genetic algorithm can effectively reduce the original iteration times by 30.14% compared with other algorithms. At the same time, this method is applied to the process of pattern design.

Authors: Sharma R. , Rana D.
Published: October 2022

A field experiment was carried out during summer season of 2004 to assess the effect of growth media, size and weight of seed and depth of seed sowing on the growth and quality of seedlings of Physic nut (Jatropha curcas Linn.). The analysis of data revealed that germination percentage (80.5%), final seedling stand before transplanting (75.6%), seedling height (90.50 cm), number of branches per seedling (1.93), collar diameter (2.61 cm), root total length per seedling (608 cm), leaf area per seedling (10597 cm2), total dry weight per seedling (164.2 g), total chlorophyll content (2.92 mg/g of tissue) and quality index (Dickson’s quality index and sturdiness quotient) of seedlings were significantly higher under raised seedbed of soil + FYM mixture (3:1 ratio) closely followed by raised seedbed of soil alone. Seedlings grown on polythene bags filled with soil + FYM mixture (3:1 ratio) recorded least values of all these parameters. Cost of nursery raising based on 5000 seedlings (Rs. 7660) was highest under polythene bags filled with soil + FYM mixture (3:1 ratio) while net returns (Rs. 6120) and benefit: cost ratio (1:21) was highest under raised seedbed of soil alone followed by raised seedbed of soil + FYM mixture (3:1 ratio). Negative net returns (Rs 1315) and benefit: cost ratio (-0.17) were recorded under polythene bags filled with soil + FYM mixture (3:1 ratio). Bold seeds sown at 3 to 4 cm depth produced significantly superior seedlings in terms of growth and quality parameters over the normal seeds sown at 5 to 6 cm depth. Bold seeds sown at 3 to 4 cm depth also improved economics of nursery raising over normal seeds sown at 5-6 cm depth.
