An analysis of sustainable fashion design brands in Ukraine: Reduce, reuse, recycle methods
Authors: Pokhodenko Kateryna
Published: September 2023

Fifty-seven Ukrainian fashion brands are analysed in this article. All these brands are related to the manufacture of clothing and accessories, and the main part of the production of which is concentrated on the territory of Ukraine. For the analysis, brands are selected considering a hierarchy of waste management, including reduction to avoid waste, reuse of materials and methods to regenerate value, such as upcycling or recycling. Brands are systematized according to: production method (producing from new materials, decoration and customization of existing fashion items, upcycle, recycle), assortment (clothing, accessories, footwear), groups of materials (remnants of new materials, vintage fabrics, outlet and second-hand clothes, materials and components that were in use, secondary materials) and target audience (male, female, unisex). Common sustainable ways of manufacturing fashion products in Ukraine are upcycling, reducing and avoiding waste, decorating, customizing and recycling. There is a powerful raw material base for the production of clothes from secondary raw materials, and there are also textile recycling enterprises in Ukraine. But none of the analysed Ukrainian brands use the products of these enterprises in their production; instead, they use recycled materials purchased abroad. Due to insufficient technological support for the production of new textile materials from recycled raw materials, Ukrainian designers have a request for textiles made from recycled materials. Among the groups of materials by origin, second-hand and outlet clothes are in first place, and textile remnants from manufacturers are in second place. Among the analysed products of the brands, no children’s clothing was found, and almost no underwear and shoes were found. This research can be the basis for finding new niches in the production of sustainable fashion products; for finding new communication channels between stakeholders, such as designers, manufacturers of materials and clothing, consumers, scientists; for finding new ways of selling products and buying raw materials and for further research into technologies for the production of new raw materials from recycled materials.
Q&A with Dr John Parkinson, founder and director, iinouiio and partner with Camira Fabrics, United Kingdom
Authors: Moorhouse Debbie
Published: September 2023

Millions of tonnes of textile waste are sent to landfill every year with only a small percentage being recycled into new products. To drive the shift towards a more circular economy within the production and reuse of textiles, two companies have joined forces, iinouiio (it is never over until it is over), a textile recycling business, and Camira Fabrics, both established in West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, to develop wool recycling production for new products for fashion and textiles. In this interview, Dr Debbie Moorhouse of the University of Huddersfield talks to Dr John Parkinson about his reinvention of the textile recycling company he originally started over thirty years ago to found iinouiio, a pioneering textile recycling company, and his subsequent partnership with Camira fabrics an innovative textile company, also based in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, two companies which are now taking on the challenge of textile circularity.
Disability and silver screening: Comparative analyses of Deaf Culture in Sound of Metal and CODA
Authors: Singh Astha
Published: September 2023

Cinema serves as a mirror, reflecting the development or state of society. It plays an important function in entertainment and education and can bring about a shift in our perspectives and attitudes. The article includes a descriptive analysis of Deaf Culture as a prominent subject in the movies Sound of Metal () and CODA () and clarifies the most prevalent misconceptions about disability in both films. In recent years, filmmakers have made an effort to create true and authentic representations of Deaf Culture, moving beyond the notion of a tokenized portrayal of the Deaf. They shifted the emphasis away from unwarranted sympathy towards perceptive analyses of Deaf characters with the aim of dismantling the embarrassing perception of deafness. Filmmakers have provided the Deaf population with a voice by giving real-life Deaf performers a place in mainstream cinema. Even though many efforts have been made, the article also shows that the mainstream media have not generally represented the Deaf Community favourably. Furthermore, the article looks at the psychological conflict that arises when hearing people and hearing-impaired people share the same room.
‘Shadowy objects in test tubes’: A biopolitical critique of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go
Authors: George Dona
Published: September 2023

This article aims to explore Kazuo Ishiguro’sNever Let Me Gowithin the Foucauldian theoretical framework in order to analyse the manifold biopolitical issues, namely cloning, by stretching the discourse to a speculative, dystopian posthuman scenario wherein the dominant, privileged, affluent human society replenishes them by incorporating bio-matter from the clones. The article also proposes to unfold the myriad ways the institutions, namely Hailsham and recovery centres in the novel, exercise power and execute power relations with the clones. It describes the way these institutions turn out to be what Foucault calls the regimes of truth and how the clones choose to remain docile to the institutional power, and consequently, they turn out to be rich sites for both medical gaze and disciplinary gaze. Nevertheless, the article also details the procedures by which the bizarre truth of organ donation of the clones is buried under the technical discourse of good work.
Disgusting desire: The Windup Girl as both object of desire and abject body
Authors: Krishna Mahesh , Kumar Nagendra
Published: September 2023

The primary question this article deals with is one of ontology. In a dystopian world populated with genetically engineered windups and hybrids, what constitutes ‘the human’? This article looks at how the posthuman body in a dystopian novel like The Windup Girl, set in a world where geographical, political, social, economic and religious norms and boundaries are erased and reconfigured, can in no way simply remain a mere body, but transmutes into a highly complex political and social site from whence multiple relations of power originate, travel and culminate in. The titular character in the novel, Emiko, is a genetically engineered windup created in a laboratory, with obedience and the need to please etched right into her DNA. This makes her a prized possession for a brothel owner in Bangkok, once her Japanese master abandons her. She is both desirable and revolting to her customers at the same time – her perfect body is too perfect, her genetic urge to please at any cost draws them in, but her involuntary shaking and robot-like jerking disgusts them. The windup can thus be seen as both the Lacanian object cause of desire and Kristeva’s abject body.
Re-conceptualizing the villain: Todd Phillips’s Joker through the lens of Vedic hermeneutics
Authors: Kaushal Lalit Aditya , Kalia Nipun
Published: September 2023

This article attempts to examine the portrayal of the character of Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips’s Joker (2019). In the initial part of the film, Arthur exhibits signs that reveal he is headed towards committing a violent crime. Arthur displays signs of psychopathy and a lack of empathy. This article links criminal behaviour analysis to the Bible of the Arya Samaj, an Indian text, to find out how ancient Indian literature’s empirical theories, which are intertwined with philosophical and religious content, shed light on criminal behaviour. The primary purpose of this article is to analyse the behavioural pattern in the character of Fleck and establish links to Dayanand Saraswati’s Satyarth Prakash, which discusses different types of Avidyas, a key concept in Indian philosophy that can be translated as ignorance or unwisdom, which is seen as a fundamental cause of suffering and bondage. It is certainly a significant factor in a person’s personality and behaviour. The major aim of this character analysis is not only to establish the link between Indian ancient texts and criminological behavioural patterns but also to reconceptualize evil through the lenses of Vedic hermeneutics. Vedic hermeneutics is the study of interpreting and understanding the ancient Vedic texts of Hinduism, where an important aspect is the recognition of different levels of meaning within the texts.
The Last Recreational Land VR experience: A non-naturalistic artistic visualization practice with emerging technologies
Authors: Fong Hin Nam
Published: September 2023

This article introduces a novel use of technologies to visualize space and temporary structures in public space as a critical and speculative method for artistic research. Imitation and iconification have been vital in visual culture since civilization began. Science has become proficient in picturing invisible matter and numerical data. However, we are limited to visualizing these data in an iconic, ‘understandable’ way, that is, to some extent, reductionist. A non-naturalistic artistic visualization (NNAVi) method is proposed to discover and present the underlying context of objects and space. First, this article discusses the representational function of artistic images and the artistic use of emerging technologies to represent invisible information. Following the discussion, the case study of the virtual reality (VR) artwork The Last Recreational Land shows how NNAVi can be applied. The case study starts with an exploration of the pandemic’s context and nature and then moves to an explanation of the multisensory and immersive setting of the artwork. Interweaving case studies and theoretical references, the article elaborates on how the VR experience is used as a device to respond to the pandemic. By deconstructing the relationship between visualization, imitation and iconification, the article theorizes NNAVi as a new methodology for artistic research that provides tangible insights into the nature of the pandemic.
Turning queries into questions: For a plurality of perspectives in the age of AI and other frameworks with limited (mind)sets
Authors: Westermann Claudia , Gupta Tanu
Published: September 2023

The editorial introduces issue 21.1 of Technoetic Arts via a critical reflection on the artificial intelligence hype (AI hype) that emerged in 2022 and gives an overview of each of the issue’s ten articles. The first four articles engage with new technologies from different positions in art and architecture. These articles include an exploration of the indexical function of images as a means for revealing cultural premises governing public space during the pandemic in Hong Kong, a neuroarchitectural perspective on immersive architectural environments, and an investigation of the link between the popularity of immersive art installations and the emotions these installations generate. The ‘Cryptoart’ section features an ethnographic study of the DADA digital art collective, shedding light on the role of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in community building. Guest-edited by Professor Tanu Gupta, the Special Section ‘Perspectives from Chandigarh’ constitutes the second part of the journal issue. Based on contributions to the national conference on Contemporary Perspectives in English Language, Literature, and Cultural Studies held on 15–16 July 2022, at Chandigarh University in Punjab, India, the six articles reflect a search for meaningful existence within colonial, patriarchal and biopolitical structures that frame everyday practices of exclusion and oppression. Discussing works of literature and cinema from the European, Japanese and the US American canon, the articles contribute a distinctive perspective to the critical analysis of contemporary societies that are shaped by the idea that progress is technological invention.
A neuroarchitectural perspective to immersive architectural environments
Authors: Özdamar Esen Gökçe
Published: September 2023

As digital and immersive architectural installations and augmented reality applications generate new sensations, new digital dimensions and boundaries create new perceptions of our built environment. Digital architectural installations as immersive environments make data visible and tangible and give access to data as an experiential flow. Like the works of Refik Anadol, TeamLab or Universal Everything, digital architectural installations point to a neuroarchitectural and neurophenomenological atmosphere that refers to the understanding and measurement of embodied human experience, and how spaces affect people and how they behave in a given setting. The objectivity of the screen allows viewers to observe through screens, and the screen as an ambivalent object provides a physical interface that transcends the shadow of its materiality, transforming the viewer’s environmental perception. Therefore, this article examines digital architectural environments that reveal the boundaries of architectural space, with particular consideration given to neuroaesthetics. In these data-driven environments, the human body is at the centre of multimodal perception. Therefore, these environments open the door to understanding the boundaries of architecture and invite the viewers to explore the boundaries of art and architecture that have become a fusion in the digital environment.
Uncertainty in Motion: Rumors of a Proxy War in Late Industrial Baltimore
Authors: Ahmann Chloe
Published: September 2023

Until 2016, South Baltimoreans debated a proposed incinerator. Those debates were manifestly about local land use, but rumors spread that something else was really going on. Opponents supposed the plant was secretly owned by a power player in the waste-to-energy sector; supporters swore opponents must be bankrolled by Big Landfill. In short: a waste-industry proxy war was brewing in South Baltimore. I follow these rumors and argue that their persuasive power grew as they darted up, down, and back, forging a politics of connection across scales that made skilled use of fragmented information. On both sides of the issue, talk of outside influence worked to vest some voices with more authority than others. Tracking these claims across scales and through allegedly bad relations—in a place where corporations strive to disavow connections of all kinds and consign local knowledge to the realm of mere suspicion—I show how rumors of a proxy war became tools for mapping ambiguous forces long at play in this environment. More, by wielding doubt to do subversive work, rumors managed to draw local power from them.
National Reconciliation in the Age of New Social Media
Authors: Sheet Douaa
Published: September 2023

At first glance, there seems to be a shared mission between social media’s promise of increased dissemination of information and truth commissions’ commitment to truth, granting victims a voice, and safeguarding people’s right to information—which would suggest that the rise of the former could only empower the latter. This study suggests otherwise. I argue that social media can impede truth commissions’ liberal vision that celebrates “speaking” as synonymous with “healing” and hails publicizing victims’ testimonies as key to facilitating national reconciliation. Through a study of the Tunisian Truth and Dignity Commission’s Facebook-mediated public hearings, I analyze these platforms’ algorithmic mode of content circulation and argue that one of its less analyzed features is its “war on silence.” While “voice” has been celebrated and silence decried in human rights discourse, I analyze silence as a “gap in knowledge” and argue for its role in forging empathetic publics and mediating reconciliation.
Speculative Undergrounds
Authors: Oguz Zeynep
Published: September 2023

The fraught tectonic history of Anatolia has given oil in Turkey an absent presence. In this article, I examine how oil’s absent presence produces a series of speculations in Turkish public life regarding oil’s alleged abundance and its obstructed production. In particular, I trace widespread speculations that claim that the Treaty of Lausanne, which founded Turkey in 1923, will expire on its centennial anniversary in July 2023. I argue that speculations about the expiration of Lausanne harken back to both anxieties around territorial partition and neo-imperial desires of expansion in contemporary Turkey. Such speculations are further utilized by the AKP government to reinterpret Turkey’s history and to legitimize expansionist and irredentist politics in the present. In this context the ground—what’s under it and who exerts political claims over it—becomes a productive zone in which multiple ethno-nationalist and imperialist notions of territorial belonging, loss, and desire are played out. I conclude that by recalibrating anthropological analyses around the generative powers of the geological, we can better understand how the indeterminacy of the underground entwines with the political legacies of post-imperial collapse and nation-state formation that emerged in the aftermath of World War I.
Testing Effect of the National Basic Newborn Resuscitation Educational Program on Midwives’ Knowledge and Skills: Observational Quasiexperimental Study
Authors:   Jordan University of Science and Technology, Kassab Manal , A. Gharaibeh Besher , Himidi Islam , Khriesat Mohammad
Published: September 2023

Background: Basic newborn resuscitation is a vital strategy to reduce the incidence of birth asphyxia and the associated outcomes. These outcomes can be improved if the midwives have the knowledge and skills of basic newborn resuscitation. Purpose: We assessed the midwives' knowledge and their quality of skills regarding BNR, as well as the effectiveness of an educational program in improving midwives' knowledge and skills during the process of BNR. Methods: A pretest-posttest design was conducted. The BNR educational program was adapted from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). It was conducted through three days of workshops, including an overview lecture, interactive video modules, and extensive hands-on teaching of basic resuscitation techniques. Assessments (pre-and post-tests) were performed. Data was analyzed using ttest, one-way ANOVA, relative importance index analysis, and linear regression test. Results:100 midwives attended the workshops. Their mean scores were: knowledge score before the program (M=68.38%, SD= 13.4) and after the program (M=78.72%, SD=10.3), t=6.29, p<0.001. The overall mean prioritization before the program was 2.71(out of 3) and after the program 2.9. The mean quality performance of skills (out of 4 points) before and after the educational program, respectively, were (M=2.2, SD=0.8) and (3.64, SD=0.5). According to multi-variant logistic regression, midwives’ age (years) and weekly to monthly practice of BNR correlated significantly and positively with higher odds of succeeding with a score >= 84% on the knowledge test of post-educational program having been delivered to all the midwives. Conclusion: The study results showed the significant impact of the BNR educational program, followed immediately by the significant improvement in the midwives' knowledge and skills. Implications for Nursing: Midwives and neonatal nurses should be encouraged to upgrade their educational level to ensure their skill retention and expose themselves to BNR. Further, it is essential to understand the factors affecting how midwives and neonatal nurses gain and retain skills using a high-level methodology. Keywords: Basic newborn resuscitation (BNR), Midwives, Knowledge, Skills

A taxonomic review of the genus Ocimum L. (Ocimeae, Lamiaceae)
Authors: Mamita Kalita  , Devi Nilakshee
Published: September 2023

The plants of the genus Ocimum L. are rejuvenating herbs due to their aesthetic and magnanimous healing nature. Ocimum L. is a pivot of modern research such as phytochemistry, molecular and medicinal biology. However, there needs to be more taxonomic interpretation and identification of the genus, summing up the need for our study. The morphological discrepancies and nomenclature of Ocimum L. are jumbled up, the same species has been named multiple times by multiple authors. It culminates in erroneous evaluation for taxonomy-based research. Our indignation highlights the taxonomic alterations and modifications that Ocimum L. has undergone since primeval period. The genus's classical to the modern taxonomic transition has not been studied hitherto. The aim is to provide precise information on the antecedent and contemporary stature of Ocimum L. The present study attempts to provide taxonomic clarity for a highly economic genus in order to enhance the commercial perspective and efficiency of selective breeding practices. The present study emphasizes identifying samples with their type, protologue, and herbarium specimen and extricate between ecotype, morphotype, and chemotypes. Molecular taxonomy can provide better insights and transparency. But for a better exposition, such studies must revolve around correctly identified species. The selection of representatives from different populations of the same species can help understand the consistency of vegetative and reproductive characteristics. In this review, few corrections have been provided for misidentified or mistaken species. The species with incorrect nomenclature has been identified and corrections have been suggested. For a better understanding, habit photographs of Indian Ocimum L. have been furnished and morphological features (vegetative and reproductive) for proper diagnosis and correlation has been provided. Specimen examination either through physical or digital herbaria is an obligatory criterion for an error-free taxonomic inquest. Our findings will help to achieve accuracy while interpreting the genus and its species. The retrospection will aid in floristic, biodiversity, taxonomic, phylogenetic, biochemistry and molecular systematic related works. The observations will apprehend the existing gap concerning the taxonomy of Ocimum L.

Published: September 2023

Visual query is a vital technique for comprehending and analyzing knowledge graphs, which provides an effective method to lower the barrier of querying knowledge graphs for non-professional users. Nevertheless, visual query techniques for knowledge graphs and ontologies that have emerged in recent years cannot bridge the gap between global information provided by the knowledge graph schema and underlying data of knowledge graph. Thus it cannot fully exploit the global information to navigate users for querying knowledge graphs. This demonstration showcases KGNav, a Knowledge Graph Navigational visual query system. KGNav (1) redefines the minimal unit of operation to abstract the conceptual hierarchy, i.e., Knowledge Graph Schema, in the domain from the original knowledge graph in an offline semi-automatic way through the equivalence relations between these units; it also (2) provides a series of operators and an interactive GUI to capture user query intentions, guiding users to explore the Knowledge Graph Schema to achieve in-depth analysis of knowledge graphs. We will demonstrate the capability of KGNav in reducing tedious queries, enabling users to swiftly grasp the structure of the knowledge graph, and performing queries through several fundamental scenarios.
