Overload Detection and Energy Conserving Routing Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Communication
Authors: Ahmed Manel Baba
Published: July 2022

The Underwater Wireless Acoustic Sensors are facing several challenges due to their limited energy power that can significantly affect their network performances, hence the design of an efficient and reliable routing protocol for the underwater sensor communication is becoming the main purpose for the researchers, however, in this article, a new mechanism is proposed to balance the underwater network energy consumption due to the frequent data packet forwarding, whereas the protocol uses a method that is based on the historical nodes energy, where sensor that are excessively consuming energy are considered as overloaded node and has to be excluded from the forwarding process depending on their priority value. The implementation and simulation have been performed using NS-2 network simulator, based on the well-known protocol for the underwater acoustic communication ‘Vector-Based Forwarding routing protocol’, the results shows the performance of the proposed mechanism over the VBF in term of energy consumption and efficiency, successful delivery data, and end to end delay.
A psychodynamic contribution to the understanding of anger - The importance of diagnosis before treatment
Authors: Manfredi Paola , Taglietti Claudia
Published: July 2022

This paper starts from the claim that a shared understanding of anger, in both its normal and psychopathological dimensions, is missing and that there are various therapeutic paths that seem to be less effective than those related to other pathologies. A major limitation of anger research and of its treatments lies in the lack of precise clinical diagnoses to inform therapy. For this reason, the first aim of our work is to survey critical literature in order to find useful elements to differentiate anger, starting from the evidence of negative and positive outcomes of treatments. Such evidence will then be enhanced in our proposal of interpretation and intervention, within a dynamic framework and with particular reference to Orefice’s thought. The core focus is to explore the different functions that anger has for the patient and to investigate the elementary functioning of the self. Our reading of the phenomena related to anger will provide useful tools both for understanding the dynamics underlying anger and as a guide for clinical intervention.

Authors: Gholizadeh Afshin , Shapoury Reza , Pakzad Parviz , Mahdavi Mehdi , Danafar Hossein
Published: July 2022

Background and purpose:

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is known as a pathogen with antibiotic resistance, causing respiratory infections. PLGA has been approved for use in vaccines as well as drug delivery. This study was performed to evaluate PLGA nanoparticles containing the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of A. baumannii in stimulating the mice’s immune system and improving pneumonia.

Experimental approach:

Double emulsion solvent evaporation technique was used. The properties of the obtained nanospheres were determined using a zetasizer, FTIR, and AFM devices. Nanoparticles were administered to mice BALB/c by applying the intramuscular route. ELISA was used to measure the amounts of immunoglobulins produced; also, an opsonophagocytic killing assay was used to measure the effectiveness of immunoglobulins. Immunized mice were then challenged with live A. baumannii through the lungs; their internal organs were also removed for bacteriological studies.

Findings/Results:

The prepared particles were 550 nm in diameter with a negative surface charge. The production of the OMPs specific IgG was much higher in the group receiving nanoparticles containing antigen as compared to those getting pure antigen. The immunoglobulins produced against nanoparticles were superior to those developed against pure antigens. Mice that received the new nanovaccine were more resistant to pneumonia caused by this bacterium than those that received pure antigen.

Conclusion and implication:

Overall, it can be said that PLGA nanoparticles could deliver their internal antigens (OMPs) well to the immune system of mice and stimulate humoral immunity in these animals, thus protecting them against pneumonia caused by A. baumannii.
Ectopic fat deposition and its related abnormalities of lipid metabolism followed by nonalcoholic fatty pancreas
Authors: Chen Yan , Zhang Pingping , Lv Shunli , Su Xiaoju , Du Yiqi , Xu Can , Jin Zhendong
Published: July 2022

Background and Objectives:

The positive energy balance between caloric intake and caloric output increasing storage of triglycerides (TG) in adipocytes has made nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) one of the major public health problems in China. Excessive lipid deposition in the pancreas is referred to as nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD). Early assessment of pancreatic fat infiltration will have an increasing role in the clinical management of the metabolic dysregulation and prevention pancreatic complications.

Subjects and Methods:

We retrospectively collected data of inpatients with NAFPD from EUS database between September 2012 and August 2020 at our endoscopic center. The prevalence of NAFPD and factors associated with its development were statistically analyzed. The echogenicity of the pancreas was compared to that of the left renal cortex during the EUS examination by using an existing criterion.

Results:

Four thousand, seven hundred and four consecutive individuals underwent EUS were enrolled. The prevalence of NAFPD was 1.2% (57/4704). Factors independently associated with NAFPD on multivariate analysis were increasing TG (odds ratios [OR] 4.65, P = 0.014), NAFLD (OR 16.76, P = 0.005) and decreasing apolipoprotein A-1 (OR 0.002, P = 0.0127). We found no association between NAFPD and age, sex, total cholesterol or hypertension.

Conclusions:

We found a meaningful relationship between NAFLD, dyslipidemia, and NAFPD in Chinese. We hypothesized that NAFPD was strongly correlated with ectopic fat deposition and its related abnormalities of lipid metabolism. Early diagnosis of NAFLD provides opportunities to control the progression of NAFPD.

Published: July 2022

Background:

The value of contrast.enhanced harmonic EUS (CH.EUS) for diagnosis of portal vein invasion in patients with pancreatic cancer was evaluated.

Patients and Methods:

This single-center, retrospective study included consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent both surgical resection after preoperative EUS, CH-EUS, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) examinations between April 2015 and August 2017. CH-EUS evaluation was performed during the late phase. Portal vein invasion on EUS and CH-EUS was defined as no continuity in the line of the vessel wall. Definition of portal vein invasion on CE-CT was based on the Loyer’s criteria. The accuracy of three modalities for diagnosis of invasion into the portal vein was compared using the McNemar’s test.

Results:

Eighty-eight patients (mean age: 71.0 years, ratio of male to female: 48:40) were eligible. Postoperative pathological results were as follows: seven cases of portal vein invasion; 81 cases without. Diagnostic accuracy of EUS, CH-EUS, and CE-CT for diagnosing invasion into the portal vein was 72.7%, 93.2%, and 81.8%, respectively. The differences between CH-EUS and CE-CT (P = 0.0094) and CH-EUS and EUS (P = 0.0022) were significant. EUS and CE-CT were comparable.

Conclusion:

CH-EUS is useful for diagnosis of portal vein invasion by pancreatic cancer.
Optimum Value of Scale and Threshold for Compression of 99mTc-MDP Bone Scan Images using Haar Wavelet Transform
Authors: Pandey Anil Kumar , Chaudhary Jagrati , Sharma Akshima , Patel Hemakshi Chetan , Sharma Param Dev , Baghel Vivek , Kumar Rakesh
Published: July 2022

Introduction:

Wavelet transforms of an image result in set of wavelet coefficients. Thresholding eliminates insignificant coefficients while retaining the significant ones (resulting in matrix having few nonzero elements that need to be stored). The compressed image is reconstructed by applying inverse wavelet transform. The quality of compressed image deteriorates with increase in compression. Hence, finding optimum value of scale and threshold is a challenging task. The objective of the study was to find the optimum value of scale and threshold for compressing 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99 mTc-MDP) bone scan images using Haar wavelet transform.

Materials and Methods:

Haar wavelet transform at scale 1–8 was applied on 106 99 mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan images, and wavelet coefficients were threshold at 90, 95, 97, and 99 percentiles, followed by inverse wavelet transform to get 3392 compressed images. Nuclear medicine physician (NMP) compared compressed image with its corresponding input to label it as acceptable or unacceptable. The values of scale and threshold that resulted in majority of acceptable images were considered to be optimum. The quality of compressed image was also evaluated using perception image quality evaluator (PIQE) image quality metrics. Compression ratio was calculated by dividing the number of nonzero elements after thresholding wavelet coefficients by the number of nonzero elements in Haar decomposed matrix.

Results:

NMP found quality of compressed images (obtained at scale 2 and 90 percentile threshold) identical to the quality of the corresponding input images. As per PIQE score, quality of compressed images was perceptually better than that of the corresponding input images.

Conclusions:

The optimum values of scale and threshold were determined to be 2 and 90 percentiles, respectively.
Complicated femoral hernia: Minimally invasive surgery management
Authors: Veetil Deepa Kizhakke , Wadhawan Randeep , Verma Naveen Kumar , Tanai Shamsu Rehman
Published: July 2022

Introduction:

Complicated femoral hernias can be managed by minimally invasive surgery techniques in the select group of patients. This helps reduce the morbidity of open surgery and enables faster recovery of the patient.

Concerns Addressed:

Delay in diagnosis can be reduced by a good clinical examination of the patient with a high index of suspicion for these patients. Imaging helps to confirm the clinical diagnosis and plan the operative intervention. In trained hands, the complicated femoral hernias can be managed by laparoscopy which enables better visualisation. Post-operative recovery is also enabled by the minimally invasive surgery done.

Conclusion:

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can be done in the select group of cases of complicated femoral hernia by trained surgeons.

We consider the moduli space

Published: July 2022

Rangifer tarandus L. 1758 is one of the few modern hoofed species in which domestic and wild forms coexist in the same territory. The genetic differentiation of domestic and wild reindeer in Northern Eurasia was examined using microsatellite data. А total of 780 animals were studied at 16 microsatellite loci. Samples of wild reindeer were taken from seven populations inhabiting different natural areas, and samples of domestic animals were selected from the Evenki, Evens, Chukchi and Nenets breeds, including two ecotypes, Tofalar and Todzha reindeer. The levels of genetic diversity and variation in wild reindeer were higher than in domestic ones. Bayesian clustering analysis allowed us to distinguish domesticated reindeer populations by the degree of taming, but failed to detect differences in genetic structure between wild reindeer populations. These differences were found using the pairwise Fst values. Overall, the microsatellite analysis revealed a significant genetic differentiation between domestic and wild forms and the structuring of populations within each form, which may be important for the development of strategies for animal conservation.
Latin American Populism: historical context and modern trends
Authors: Yakovlev P. P. , Yakovleva N. M.
Published: July 2022

The authors show that the historical and political role of populism in Latin American countries is an extremely relevant, but at the same time complex research and practical topic, which has been causing sharp discussions in the expert community for more than a decade. This is due to the inconsistency and ambiguity of populism as a social phenomenon, its dynamic and variable nature, which constantly puts forward new research tasks to scientists. Latin America is the birthplace of modern populism. Here, as in no other region of the world, populism has long become an integral part of social landscape and a specific feature of political processes. Dozens of prominent populist figures headed governments in most states of the region, were the creators of leading political parties and movements, left an indelible mark on Latin American history. Up to this day, populists of different beliefs largely form a vector of socio-economic development of an entire region. All this determines relevance of the article, and its main goal is to explore the topic of Latin American populism, its ideological pedigree and perspectives on the basis of new knowledge and phenomena. The novelty of the work is the interpretation of ideology and practice of populism, based on the methods of historical research and comparative analysis, which makes it possible to identify features of populist regimes in Latin America. The main conclusion made by the authors is the assertion that it is impossible to use old populist methods to respond to new challenges that await the peoples of Latin America in the future.
Gender equality in Latin America
Authors: Rebrey S. M.
Published: July 2022

The article concerns measuring gender equality in Latin American countries based on statistics from international (WEF, OECD, ILO, UNESCO) and regional (UNECLAC) organizations and national statistical services, as well as various gender inequality indices (GGI, SIGI). Gender equality is seen as one of the goals of sustainable development, and gender inequality – as a brake on its path. The study is conducted within institutional approach, since institutions are formal and informal restrictions accepted in society and determine the scale and factors of gender inequality. Particular attention is paid to axial institutions that play a primary role in creation, formation and implementation of human capital, namely the institutions of the family and the labor market, education and science, state and corporate governance. The study shows that, among emerging economies, Latin America has very high levels of gender equality as a result of a high degree of feminization of labor markets among other factors. However, the predominance of traditional division of labor in institution of the family levels out the bonuses from participation of women in paid work and exacerbates the problem of a double burden: women are caught in a vise, where, on the one hand, there is a paid work, and, on the other, an unpaid domestic work, which falls mainly on women. The most significant factor that positively affects the increase in gender equality is the share of women in government, while the level of socio-economic development of the country without a specialized policy aimed at stimulating gender equality does not lead to an increase in the latter.
The modern face of right-wing populism in Brazil
Authors: Okuneva L. S.
Published: July 2022

The right-wing populist phenomenon has become one of the main trends in world politics. Its spread in the “old” and “new democracies” forces researchers to reconsider the categorical apparatus by means of which they analyzed world processes in the very recent past. Characteristic features, manifesting themselves in different countries, inevitably acquire a local flavor. The surge of right-wing populism in Europe was provoked by an external factor – migration flows, but in Brazil there were purely internal reasons and motives that created fertile ground for the right-wing populist leader to come to power, while in the USA it was a mixture and interweaving of both internal and external factors. The author analyzes the Brazilian version of modern right-wing populist ideology and political practice, embodied in the “Bolsonaro phenomenon”. The author examines reasons and circumstances that made possible the emergence and implanting of right-wing populism on Brazilian political terrain. The paper indicates main features of right-wing populism in its “Bolsonarist” version. It is shown that the Brazilian right-wing populism of the beginning of the 21st century reflects both the modern world trend and all the classic signs of populism, and at the same time has its own unique national characteristics. The “Bolsonaro phenomenon” brings forward many debatable problems.
Soviet-Cuban relations after the Caribbean crisis, the collapse of détente and lessons for the future
Authors: Martynov B. F.
Published: July 2022

The results of the Caribbean crisis in the domestic and foreign literature have rarely been covered from the point of view of the Soviet-Cuban relations that influenced the internationalist policy of Cuba in Africa in the 1970s. The author analyzes: the degree of independence of Cuba’s policy in Africa, the participation of the USSR in it and the fairness of accusations brought by Washington. The results of the analysis show that deploying of Cuban “volunteers” in Angola and then in Ethiopia was not initiated by the USSR, which aimed at maintaining détente in relations with the West. Moreover, new deterioration of relations with Cuba amid escalating Chinese-Soviet tensions, increasing centrifugal tendencies in the “socialist commonwealth” and emergence of “Eurocommunism” threatened to further weaken the “world system of socialism” and erode the ideological foundations of Marxism-Leninism. By analyzing Cuba’s internationalist activity in Africa, the author has been able to draw some conclusions about its implications for the international communist movement and its influence on the balance of power in the world before perestroika policy began in the Soviet Union. The end of détente policy did not allow the USSR to redirect the resources released from the arms race to improving the living conditions of the Soviet people. Cuban revolutionary activity contributed to fragmentation of the formerly united “upfront antiimperialist forces.” The weakening of the ideological foundations of “real socialism” was an additional factor that prompted the Soviet leadership, represented by Mikhail Gorbachev, to begin a policy of perestroika. Cuba’s ‘progress’ in Africa contributed to consolidation of Cuban society around the policy of the Cuban Communist Party, which, in turn, helped it to withstand the difficulties of the “peculiar period of peace” in the early 1990s.

Authors: Medina González V. X. , Orellana Solano E.
Published: July 2022

The article examines key trends and prospects for the development of Ecuadorian-Peruvian relations, which are of particular interest in the sphere of international cooperation for both Ecuador and Peru. The purpose is to examine the trends of cooperation in various areas between Peru and Ecuador. In accordance with the main goal, the following objectives were set: to identify the features of joint coordination of stability in the border areas, including activities to curb illegal trade of weapons and drugs; to examine Ecuadorian-Peruvian economic relations, including development of trade relations; to identify key aspects of the development of Ecuadorian-Peruvian relations in culture, education and tourism, as well as environmental cooperation and support for indigenous peoples. In the areas of culture, tourism, education and the environment, Ecuadorian-Peruvian relations are quite underdeveloped and require activation of a number of measures proposed by the authors: improvement of the legal and regulatory framework in the field of above mentioned relations; increased financial support for cooperation in culture, education, tourism and the environment; increased promotion of the importance of relations between Ecuador and Peru, especially among youth; attraction to more active cooperation of public representatives organizations and businesses. Another important factor is the enhanced activity of Ecuadorian representatives in attracting foreign direct investment from Peru for the implementation of projects in different sectors of the economy in the country.
An Exploration of the Effects of Mergers and Acquisitions on the Psychological Contract of SME Senior Managers
Authors:   , Kaerner Heinzpeter
Published: July 2022

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategies to increase the competitive advantage and management tools to gain access to strategic resources for the development of organisations. Therefore, the global M&A market is referred to as the market for corporate control, which ensures that resources are controlled by those who use them most successfully. The psychological contract (PC) includes the subjective expectations of senior managers (SMs) regarding their and the organisation’s mutual obligations. This paper examines the impact of pre- and early M&A phases on the PCs of SMs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) following the experience of friendly M&As with larger German corporations. These are European service companies in the construction and real estate sector. The qualitative research focuses on the content of the PCs of SMs in M&A scenarios and how they are influenced by pre-merger events, schemas or early phases of an M&A. Little is known about the PCs of SMs in the context of major organisational changes. When SMEs are taken over by larger companies, SMs experience a lot of changes, as they go from being independent entrepreneurs to employed managers, who must accept given structures, including for their team, which is embedded in a larger organisation. The findings indicate that the content of SMs’ PCs plays a decisive role in whether the planned M&A initiatives will be pursued at all, which in the cases investigated even took on the significance of knock-out criteria. The roles and context-specific content of PCs were discovered, as well as motives for M&As. The data was based on the observation of 31 multi-stage pre-merger exploratory workshops with 41 SMs from 18 potential target companies and 21 SMs from the acquiring side, and 13 extensive semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with SMs who had experienced M&A activities as survivors or agents. The research identified ten major themes providing valuable indications of how reflecting on the PC can be used to enable early mutual expectation management and thus foster sustainable integration. It is recommended to revise M&A processes to be more responsive to individuals and personal factors and to align human resources’ due diligence by considering the building blocks of the PC.

Dijital dönüşümle birlikte ortaya çıkan “yeni medya” kavramı, iletişim ve tasarım diline yeni bir boyut kazandırmıştır. Günümüz görsel iletişim çağında durağan görüntülerden ziyade hareketli görüntülerin önem kazandığı dolayısıyla haraketli görüntülerin iletişimi daha güçlü ve etkili kıldığı görülmektedir. Çünkü klasik yöntemler, hızlı yaşam tarzına ve hızlı tüketim alışkanlığına sahip kitleleri etkilemek için yeterli olmamaktadır. Günümüzde insanların dijital ekranlara olan ilgisinin artmasına bağlı olarak tasarımlar da bu ekranlara göre şekillenmekte ve görsel iletişim tasarımında (grafik tasarımı) hareketli grafiklerin gittikçe önem kazandığı görülmektedir. Bugünün görsel kültürü saf ve durağan formlardan çok melez ve hareketli görüntü formlarından meydana gelmektedir. Farklı disiplinlerin temel ilke ve tekniklerinin bir araya gelmesi benzersiz yapıtlar üretilmesini sağlamaktadır. Grafik tasarım, sinematografi, animasyon vb. gibi farklı disiplinlerin etkileşimiyle oluşan, hem farklı içeriklerin (illüstrasyon, fotoğraf, animasyon, video ve ses gibi çoklu ortam bileşenleri) hem de temel ilke ve tekniklerin karıştırıldığı özgün grafik tasarım uygulamaları, bunun en belirgin görüldüğü örneklerdendir. Bu araştırmada yeni medyada hareketli grafiklerin kullanım alanları, hareketli grafiklerin temel kavramları, temel ilke ve teknikleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu kapsamda 30 Ağustos Zafer Bayramının 100. Yıl Tanıtım Örneği geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen bu uygulama, hareketli grafiklerin temel ilke ve tekniklerine göre nasıl gerçekleştirildiği betimlenerek, görsel örneklerle desteklenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen verilere göre hareketli grafiklerin gelecekte daha sık kullanılabileceği düşünüldüğünde, akademik anlamda hareketli grafikler ve etkileşimli hareketli grafik tasarımı hakkında daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerektiği söylenebilir. Bu araştırma biçimi, özgün uygulama örnekleri ortaya konulması yanında kullanılan programların veya kullanılabilecek özgün programların nasıl geliştirilebileceği konusunda da olmalıdır.

REGIME DE TRIBUTAÇÃO DAS STOCK OPTIONS DE EXPATRIADO BRASILEIRO PARA OS ESTADOS UNIDOS
Authors: De Oliveira Edemir Marques
Published: July 2022

O objeto do presente estudo é examinar os possí­veis efeitos fiscais sob a ótica do imposto de renda da pessoa fí­sica no Brasil considerando caso prático de indiví­duo residente fiscal no Brasil participante de plano de opção de compra de ações de empresa transnacional no exterior (controladora ou coligada da empregadora no Brasil) e que, após perí­odo de "vesting" e exercí­cio de opção de compra ocorrido no Brasil, é expatriado para os Estados Unidos e lá efetua a venda das ações. A falta de previsão normativa especí­fica no Brasil sobre remuneração baseada em ações traz grande discussão acerca dos impactos fiscais dos planos. Recentemente o CARF divulgou acórdãos abordando questões atinentes ao momento da ocorrência do fato gerador do imposto de renda da pessoa fí­sica em situações envolvendo planos de opções de ações. Desta forma, o presente estudo pretende contribuir para solidificar o entendimento a respeito da natureza jurí­dica dos benefí­cios concedidos com base em ações, e seus efeitos relacionados à  tributação internacional da renda, em especial quanto ao fenômeno da dupla tributação jurí­dica em face dessas recentes decisões proferidas no âmbito do CARF.
APPLICATION OF MANDATORY DISCLOSURE RULES AND LEGAL CERTAINTY
Authors: Henrique Sales Parada Marcio
Published: July 2022

This work analyzes mandatory disclosure rules (MDR) on tax planning under different perspectives, in order to find the most efficient solution when applying this kind of measure. One of the problems always raised in the application of mandatory disclosure rules is that the regime could increase the levelof uncertainty for taxpayers, when closing gaps and adjusting mismatches to avoid certain planning that are exploiting these deficiencies in the law. The topic analyzes legal certainty searching for a balance among principles, standards and rules, without denying the application of the principle.
A NECESSIDADE DE NORMALIZAÇÃO NAS TÉCNICAS DE EXAME CONJUNTO PARA ACOMPANHAMENTO DE PACIENTES COM ARTRITE REUMATÓIDE
Authors: Medina Yimy F.
Published: July 2022

A artrite reumatoide é caracterizada por inflamação articular e dor ao exame físico, que leva à destruição articular, limitação de movimento, funcionalidade, qualidade de vida e aumento do risco de morte. Para determinar a atividade ou monitorar a artrite reumatóide, é necessário um exame físico das articulações, que é avaliado examinando cada articulação. No entanto, a exploração conjunta não é padronizada e sua técnica é variável e pouco reprodutível. Além disso, há discordância entre os examinadores conjuntos.
Challenging Solarpunk s Technophilia through Degrowth Imaginaries in Julia K. Patt s “Caught Root” and Linda Jordan s “Reclaiming”
Authors: Rivero-Vadillo Alejandro
Published: July 2022

Although still in its infancy, the sci-fi subgenre of Solarpunk has become a popular aesthetical mode in today’s literary field, with an already extensive corpus of short-story collections published during the late 2010s and early 2020s. These narratives tend to explore postgrowth imaginaries through a technophilic lens, thus depicting the idea of possible futures in which high-technology and industrial development can become environmentally sustainable. Against these logics of techno-optimism, some literary pieces subvert the hegemonic conceptualization of the Solarpunk imagination, representing degrowth societies that highlight the idealization of greenified techno-futures. This article first introduces the notion of Solarpunk and briefly analyzes it through the lens of degrowth theory. After that, it explores two short stories, Julia K. Patt’s “Caught Root” (2018) and Linda Jordan’s “Reclaiming”(2021) to show the way in which both of them create alternative low-tech futures neighboring Solarpunk spaces. The text focuses on how both author’s narratives not only criticize Solarpunk’s mainstream assumptions but also how they create alternative spaces following degrowth rationalizations that solve possible ecological and social issues should Solarpunk techno-optimism succeed after the alleged fall of capitalism.
Book Review: Climate Lyricism
Authors: Rodewald Luke
Published: July 2022

Despite their escalatingfrequencyand severity, the signs and effects of climate change’s arrival remain largely obscuredto the public eye.Although visibleand felt, the phenomenon’sconsequential, interlinkingenvironmental catastrophes—destructive tropical storms,relentlessdroughts, deadly heat waves, torrential flooding, uncontrollable wildfires—are routinely dismissed by rhetoric which declarestheir appearanceunusual,unprecedented, or unthinkable. Such mislabels promotethe socio-cultural “fairy tale,” to quote journalist David Wallace-Wells, that imagines climate change as aglacial threat, remoteproblem, or “natural” occurrence (2019, 3).
Almost 9 Kilometres in Istanbul s Newfound Land(scape)
Authors: Tümerdem Nazlı , Medarić Igor
Published: July 2022

On Saturday, September 30, 2017 we left our placein Koşuyolu and took a rather stuffed minibus to the historical seaside neighborhood Üsküdar. The weather was around 19°C. The night before, we were warned ofshowers, but apart from an extremely overcast sky, there was no rain. [distance: 0 km; elevation: 49 m; time: 10:55]. To cross tothe Europeansideof town, we took the ferry and in 7 minutes set foot on Beşiktaş. Pondering what a French cartographerhad told me about İstanbul’s Asian-European sides being only a construct of political interests and not actual geographical borders, I wondered how else I could refer to these two partsof this city. We boarded bus number 25E to Sarıyer. Passing under the first and then the second suspension bridges felt like time travelling in the city’s urban development.

On Walking in Possible Lands
Authors: Briard Annie
Published: July 2022

In this extended artist statement, creative researcher Annie Briard describes the importance of walking the land as a practice in phenomenological inquiry and to inform considerations for audience and affect. Four landscape-oriented artworks ranging from print to expanded photography and immersive media installation are reflected upon within the context of the Anthropocene. The artist recounts some of her past expeditions and the resulting works created around climate change. Possibilities for imaging future lands are considered through the comparison of past and present viewpoints as well as studio experiments employing automatism, chance and analogue apparatuses.
