Human Communication with Cyborgs in Experimental Projects of Contemporary Artists and Designers
Authors: Denikin Anton A. ,   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts
Published: July 2024

The article considers a cyborg as a hybrid of a machine and a biological organism, the functioning of which is carried out through the integration of mechanical, electrical, computational or other artificial components. The transformation of a human into a cyborg allows you to expand or radically transform the possibilities of human communication. The purpose of the article is to find out what are the possibilities of communication between people and cyborgs and how such communications can be carried out. To do this, it is proposed to consider a number of modern art practices and design projects in which experiments on the fusion of a machine and a person are carried out. An analysis of existing cyborg concepts shows that human-machine interactions are increasingly being analyzed not from a human perspective but in the context of their technological hybridity. Instead of talking about technologies as extensions of the human body, a discourse is being formed that articulates the initially prosthetic nature of human identity, where human identity is always conditioned by the interactions and contacts with technology themselves. At the same time, the creative experiments cited in the article, although they demonstrate a revision of some prerequisites of the theory of communication (concepts of subject, knowledge, understanding, meaning, freedom of action), they are addressed in one way or another to man and human communication, which is confirmed by the works of N. Harbisson, M. Ribas, J. Dekney, P. Lopez, Stelark’s performances and other cyber artists and designers. For all the originality and provocativeness of the ideas, the projects they organize retain the need for a human subject capable of assessing what is happening from the outside, asking artistic and ethical questions, searching and finding answers to them in real practice.
Altan Khan (1507–1583) and his Role in Spreading Buddhism Among the Mongolian Peoples
Authors: Vanchikov Arseniy S. ,   Buryat State University named after Dorzhi Banzarov
Published: July 2024

Given the exceptional role of Buddhism in the countries of its spread, especially Tibet and Mongolia, where Buddhism was the state religion during its highest development and contributed to the creation of theocratic states in these countries, it becomes relevant to investigate the little-studied early history, identify the figures who stood at its origins, and study their role in the spread of Buddhism, which determines the novelty of the article. The object of the article is Altan Khan, prince of the Mongolian Tumet principality, who came from the Genghis Khan family and was the grandson of the last all-Mongolian ruler Dayan Khan (1464–1543). The article aims at revealing biographical information on Altan Khan, determining his role in the history of the Mongols and the degree of contribution to the spread of Buddhism, insufficiently covered in scientific articles. Thanks to military campaigns, the establishment of a trade and peace agreement with China, relations with the XIV Dalai Lama and conversion to Buddhism, Altan Khan became the recognized leader of the Western Mongols. The Buddhist monastery Ih-zu founded by him became one of the centers of attraction for Buddhist monks and pilgrims, which over time turned into the capital of all in Inner Mongolia. As a result of his active proselytizing activities, the Mongols got to know each other, adapted the best achievements of Buddhist culture and in a short period became adherents of Buddhism. The study revealed that Altan Khan was not only a powerful Mongolian political and military figure but also a successful religious missionary, the name is associated with the second dissemination of Buddhism and the Buddhist Church in Mongolia, which indirectly contributed to the further spread of Buddhism among other Mongolian peoples, Buryats and Kalmyks.
Khamnigan Identity in the Cultural Space of the East Trans-Baikal Transboundedness
Authors: Sundueva Dina B. ,   Transbaikal State University, Zakharov Maxim A. ,   Transbaikal State University
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of cultural identity of the Khamnigan ethnic group, which is native to the cultural space of the East Trans-Baikal cross-border, unique in its ethnic and cultural diversity of the region. The cultural trinity of the border territories of Russia, Mongolia and China is ensured by cultural diffusion accompanied by strong assimilation processes. The trajectory of cross-border interaction development is characterized by cross-border asymmetries of social, demographic and cultural indicators. In this work, based on the specifics of the functioning of the Khamnigan language in the context of transboundary integration, as well as the speech material produced by its carriers, the types of Khamnigan identity are described: capsule, consolidation, diffuse, and pseudomorphic. The type of cultural identity, being the integral quality of all aggregate phenomena, determines a certain state of a small ethnic group in the assimilation processes of cross-border in their dynamics. A certain type of cultural identity is achieved by the presence in cultural reality of a cross-border qualitative characteristic of the state of identification traits in its structure. It has been established that the reason for the development of different types of Khamnigan identity in a cross-border region is the dispersed residence of members of this small ethnic group in the border territories of Russia, Mongolia and China and the policies towards small ethnic groups. The change of the barrier function of the border in the cultural space of the East Transbaikal cross-border at various stages of the joint history of the border territories significantly affected the nature of assimilation processes among members of the Khamnigan ethnic group. Research results can show their relevance for educational programs and to preserve the unique cultural heritage of Transbaikal.

Published: July 2024

Cancer is a primary cause of death globally and a significant public health concern. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates found abundantly in natural sources, including plants, and have attracted interest due to their possible health advantages, including anticancer activities. Annona squamosa, also known as the sugar apple, has long been prized for its healing properties, thus an intriguing candidate for investigating its potential effects on cancer cells. Through boosting bioavailability, producing active metabolites, enriching the nutrient profile, altering the composition of bioactive substances, and influencing the gut microbiota, fermentation plays a crucial role in promoting the antiproliferative effects of food. Polysaccharide was extracted from the fermented and unfermented cotyledon and coat of A. squamosa seed, characterised by HPLC, and antiproliferative activity was investigated using the MTT assay on human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell lines. The Vero cell line obtained from the kidney of a green monkey of African descent was used for selectivity. The polysaccharides displayed antiproliferative activity against the cancerous cell lines MCF-7 (breast cancer) and RD (rhabdomyosarcoma-soft tissue sarcoma), with IC50 values ranging from 27.10 ± 0.61 to 57.01 ± 0.06 µg/ml and a good selectivity for the cancer cells over normal body cells (Vero), with fermented better than unfermented. In conclusion, A. squamosa seed polysaccharides exhibited antiproliferative properties on MCF-7 and RD, which could be explored in  developing  a novel drug in cancer prevention and treatment.
An insight into the Croatian degree modifier paradigm and its clustering profiles
Authors: Lacić Ivan
Published: July 2024

Degree modifiers represent linguistic items employed to alter other elements in relation to their degree. Despite being a well–studied category in English linguistics, degree modifiers in Croatian have received limited attention. This study aims to address this gap by examining a set of Croatian degree modifiers as a part of construction. Initially, a corpus analysis is used, and the 29 most frequent degree modifiers of adjectives in the hrWaC corpus are identified. To analyse the examined modifier, we turn to the distributional hypothesis and examine collocational contexts in which modifiers occur. By employing a simple collexeme analysis, we quantify the degree of attraction between a given degree modifier and adjective for each construction and its 1000 most frequent adjectival collocates. The results of simple collexeme analysis then serve as input for hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis, shedding light on the clustering patterns of Croatian degree modifiers based on their favoured collexemes. Simple collexeme analysis reveals itself as successful in filtering out collexems that consistently appear irrespective of the context, proving its superiority over methods relying solely on raw frequencies. The subsequent cluster analysis exposes some discrepancies between the modifiers’ function and their cluster profiling, resulting in clusters lacking functional homogeneity. Nonetheless, certain subclusters demonstrate perfect or almost perfect stability and empirical support, affirming the (near–)synonymy among involved modifiers.
To describe this construction: Conversational functions of the free infinitive construction with um zu in spoken German
Authors: Marić Dario , Moroni Manuela
Published: July 2024

This article presents the results of research on the free infinitive construction with um zu in spoken German, which were obtained by considering the structure of this construction, its prosodic realization, its functions within the conversation, all on the basis of the corpus consisting of parts of authentic conversations in which this construction appears. Due to its syntax independence, lexical specificity and semantics that do not represent the sum of individual meanings of its constituents, it is treated in this article as a construction. The research has shown that a free infinitive construction with um zu makes explicit verbal moves that can precede or follow it and that make changes to conversational determinants such as theme, role of the speaker, narrative actions, narrative modus, way of formulation or retain this determinant. The status of the word nochmal also proved to be extremely interesting within this construction which is mostly semantically emptied and grammaticalized functions as a word specific to this construction.
Kajmak in the translinguistic and transcultural space: Realia in the translations of the novel Herkunft by Saša Stanišić
Authors: Ščukanec Aleksandra , Rocco Goranka
Published: July 2024

This paper presents the analysis of translation strategies of culture–bound elements or realia from German into Croatian and Italian on the example of the novel Herkunft (Origins) by Saša Stanišić. In the analysis of this multi–layered autobiographical novel several perspectives were taken into consideration: Stanišić presents the elements of discursive worldviews (Czachur 2011, 2013) and reality of the former Yugoslavia and brings them to his readers in German, resulting in another layer of translation: autotranslation and selftranslation. Additional perspective to be found in this paper is that of the Croatian translator in the interview conducted by one of the authors. The comparative analysis of the original novel in German and its two translations shows that some realia in German version, as opposed to Croatian, are more specified or introduced with extended explanations for the audience from German speaking countries, whereas the Italian translation seemingly follows the original text.

Food is a basic human need that cannot be neglected in everyday life. Without eating and drinking sufficient quantity and quality, humans will not be productive in carrying out their activities. Food issues also concern security, safety, and health, both physical and spiritual. Food safety is one of the important factors that must be considered in daily consumption. Thus, food must be available in sufficient quantities, at affordable prices, and must also meet other requirements, namely healthy, safe, and halal. So before the food is distributed it must meet the requirements of being truly safe for consumption. This means that food must not contain dangerous ingredients such as pesticide contamination, heavy metals, pathogen microbes, or be contaminated by ingredients that could disturb people's trust or confidence, for example being contaminated with dangerous ingredients. Food security in Indonesia is still far from safe, which can be seen from the food poisoning incidents that have occurred recently. In such conditions, consumers generally do not care or do not have awareness about the safety of the food they consume, so they do not demand much from producers to produce safe food products. This also causes food producers to increasingly ignore consumer safety in order to gain as much profit as possible. For example, there are still many food manufacturers who like to use textile dyes for various food and beverage products because of economic considerations.
El deseo en la transmisión del conocimiento. Una experiencia en convivencialidad

Published: July 2024

«Lo que entra a la cabeza, de la cabeza se va. Lo que entra al corazón, se queda y no se va más.»“, nos decía el Profesor Teodoro Elías Isaac, a quien hacemos homenaje. Desde la vivencia como alumnos-colegas, compartiremos su singular modo de transmitir el conocimiento, desde lo sensorial y los afectos. El compromiso y el gusto por aquella experiencia nos hicieron sus discípulos. En correspondencia deseamos hoy cuidar y transformar su legado.  Lo hacemos en el marco de la libertad democrática que hoy podemos celebrar. Y desciframos en su legado un enseñaje democratizado. Nos decía…” quien no es consciente de la propia ignorancia, queda en la ignorancia”.  Nos ofrecía una urdimbre para tramar hilos de mitos, etimologías, constelaciones, religiones, elementos del psicoanálisis, mientras las cáscaras sonoras de las parábolas revelaban significaciones ocultas. Indicaba mojones, abriendo caminos para el proceso interno del aprendizaje, mediado por la comunicación, en una transmisión muy diferente a lo absolutamente racional, donde el profesor en asociación libre y el alumno en atención flotante, hacía esbozos de saberes que luego se integraban en una producción personal con el compromiso de abrirla a los diferentes colectivos. “Las palabras nos han sido dadas para meditar”, refería, casi en cada encuentro. En su transmisión nos legó una estructura de acceso a los conocimientos para poder apropiarnos de ellos en libertad, respeto, responsabilidad individual y colectiva y en convivencialidad.  De este modo abrimos interlocución con el lector, como aporte académico específico, con el propósito de que promueva nuevas narrativas en construcción colectiva para la transformación cultural y prácticas emancipatorias.
Bioremediation of Some Organic Pollutants in the Aquatic Environment; the Egyptian and the Global Experiences
Authors: AYI Ewida
Published: July 2024

Organic pollutants reach the aquatic environment through different waste sources such as municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes. The term “organic pollutants” in the present review is considering different types of chemicals including; pesticides, organic matter, dyes and oil spills. The ordinary methods used for remediation of such pollutants from the water environment such as mechanical removal, coagulation, aeration and filtration are defective due to their partial treatment effect in some instances and their high costs in some others. The modification of new, environmentally friend treatment methods are of great concern by abundant environmentalists. Bioremediation is one of new promising techniques that attracting worldwide attention, to completely or partially remove the organic pollutants from the aquatic systems. It is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and suitable for in situ applications. Microbial remediation has been applied to eliminate the toxic and recalcitrant pollutants from the water environment through several mechanisms including biodegradation. This review article provides a survey on the aquatic environment and the main groups of organic pollutants that commonly contaminate it. It also deeply expatiates the multiple applications of microbial bioremediation of such organic pollutants. Moreover, it focuses on some in situ applications of bioremediation technology in some case studies.
OS EFEITOS DA METODOLOGIA DE CÁLCULO DAS TARIFAS PARA O CUSTEIO DA USINA DE ITAIPU SOBRE O BEM-ESTAR DOS CONSUMI-DORES CATIVOS DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA
Authors: Lemos Breno Pascualote
Published: July 2024

Itaipu é o maior empreendimento de geração de energia do sistema elétrico brasileiro, e tem como função primordial prover energia para os consumidores da região centro-sul do país. Posteriormente, a usina passou a integrar o mecanismo de realocação de energia, caracterizando-se como histórico provedor de energia secundária aos demais empreendimentos que compõem tal mecanismo. Vale dizer, os custos de produção da energia de Itaipu são regidos pelo Anexo C ao Tratado de Itaipu e seu regulamento específico, todos de responsabilidade da própria Itaipu Binacional. A vigência do referido anexo vai até o final de agosto de 2023, de modo que estamos no momento oportuno para revisão de tais custos. Cabe à ANEEL regulamentar o seu custeio à luz da legislação aplicável. E a agência fixou duas tarifas específicas para tal: a tarifa de repasse ao contrato de potência firmado entre ENBPar e Itaipu, paga pelas concessionárias de distribuição, que arcam com a respectiva cota-parte, e a Tarifa de Otimização de Energia de Itaipu, paga pelos agentes geradores para os quais a energia da usina é alocada. Isto posto, o objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar que a metodologia atualmente aplicada pela ANEEL está em desacordo com o Decreto nº 2.655/1998, bem como seus impactos diretos ao bem-estar do consumidor de energia elétrica e à modicidade tarifária, e também elencar possíveis repercussões sobre a dinâmica do setor. Ao final, propõe-se a revisão dos critérios de cálculo para que sejam alcançadas um conjunto de tarifas bem-estar neutras que estejam em consonância com o arcabouço legal vigente.

Published: July 2024

The study was conducted during rabi from November to March, 2019–20 at Department of Renewable Energy Engineering, PAU Ludhiana, Punjab, India to explore the new alternate biofuel for industry and cooking needs. Briquetting is one of the techniques that were not matured as required in the developing countries. Briquettes were prepared from chopped paddy straw, which is considered as waste and generally set on fire for clearing the fields. The aim of the investigation was to utilize field waste for thermal energy source in industry as well as for cooking in farming society. This endeavor could provide a ray of hope for paddy straw management in ex-situ application at large scale along with environmental benefits of preventing open burning. Briquettes were prepared on piston type briquetting machine with diameter 70 mm and the resultant fuel was compared with wood for physicochemical as well as thermal properties. It was observed from proximate and ultimate analysis that the paddy straw briquettes have similar properties as compared to the wood. Also, the calorific value of paddy straw briquettes was equivalent to wood and showed insignificant difference statistically. But the ash content of paddy straw briquettes was more than wood.  The results showed that the calorific value, bulk density, ash content, and volatile matter of paddy straw briquettes were 15.29 MJ kg-1, 639.22 kg m-3, 23.46% and 64.03%, respectively. The paddy straw briquettes were evaluated in biomass cook stoves using water boiling test.

Published: July 2024

Las estrategias gerenciales son herramientas valiosas en el contexto corporativo, y su aplicación en instituciones de educación superior juega un papel crucial en la gestión de actividades administrativas, formativas, de enseñanza-aprendizaje e investigativas a través de funciones de planificación, organización, control y dirección, de ahí que requieran altos estándares de calidad para garantizar su efectividad. Por eso, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las estrategias gerenciales aplicadas para fortalecer la calidad investigativa en los centros de investigación universitarios (CIU) en Venezuela. Para ello, metodológicamente se adoptó un enfoque positivista con un diseño descriptivo no experimental, de tipo transeccional y de campo. La recolección de datos se efectuó mediante observación directa y el uso de un cuestionario mixto, administrado a 48 investigadores pertenecientes a los seis CIU seleccionados como muestra representativa. Los resultados revelaron que las estrategias gerenciales implementadas en los CIU venezolanos contribuyen, en cierta medida, al desarrollo de proyectos de investigación que abordan las necesidades y demandas del entorno social. De hecho, más de la mitad de los encuestados evaluaron positivamente los indicadores relacionados con estas estrategias en sus respectivos centros, mientras que una minoría consideró que dichos procesos eran deficientes. En conclusión, se destaca la necesidad de fortalecer la gestión investigativa y mejorar la eficiencia de las estrategias gerenciales para alcanzar los objetivos institucionales y promover un mayor número de proyectos de investigación y planes de acción que mejoren la calidad investigativa en estos centros.

Published: July 2024

Purchase of locally processed food from home-based dark kitchens is common in Mauritius. This study aimed to compare the microbiological quality of locally processed food purchased from HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point) certified suppliers and non-HACCP certified foods purchased from home-based dark kitchens. A total of 16 food samples were collected and processed. Bacterial growth was observed in 87.5% of the non-HACCP samples and 25% of HACCP samples. The colony forming units were significantly higher in non-HACCP samples compared to HACCP samples (p = 0.04). E. coli was isolated from 25% and 37.5% of HACCP and non-HACCP food samples, respectively. It was noted that 64.3% of the bacteria isolated were resistant to amoxicillin, and 100% of the Pseudomonas spp. was resistant to ampicillin (10 μg), chloramphenicol (30 μg), and tetracycline (10 μg). There is a need to educate the population on food safety and the risks associated with the purchase of food from unregulated suppliers.

Prematurity or preterm birth can lead to perinatal and neonatal deaths. The leading cause of preterm labor is premature rupture of membranes. Infections are one of the leading causes of premature rupture of membranes, including urinary tract infections. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between bacteriuria and leukocyturia and the incidence of preterm premature rupture of membrane at Wangaya General Hospital Denpasar. This cross-sectional study used the target population of pregnant women undergoing treatment at Wangaya General Hospital. Sampling was carried out using the purposive sampling method. A total of 112 samples were enrolled in this study. Data was taken from the patient’s medical record from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023 and then analyzed. Based on the results, the mean age is 27.43 ± 5.95 years. The bivariate analysis showed significant results with an OR of 2.485; CI 95% 1.120–5.510; p = 0.024 for bacteriuria and OR 4.697; CI 95% 1.903–11.595; p < 0.001 for leukocyturia. Furthermore, the multivariate analysis obtained significant results for the leukocyturia variable with an adjusted OR value of 4.697; CI 95% 1.903–11.595; p = 0.001. Therefore, it can be concluded that positive bacteriuria and leukocyturia increase the risk of pregnant patients experiencing preterm PROM.

El propósito de esta revisión fue identificar y sintetizar la literatura más importante sobre la relación que tiene la homofobia con el deporte, la educación, la discriminación y/o exclusión y la salud mental y/o corporal. Para ello, se usó la metodología PRISMA permitiendo de esta manera, la identificación, selección, evaluación y síntesis de los documentos encontrados en las bases de datos para el idioma inglés: Science Direct, Taylor & Francis Online, Web of Science y PubMed y en español se indago en Scielo y Dialnet. Para la realización de la búsqueda de documentos se emplearon los términos Tesauro de la Unesco para español y MesH para el inglés correspondientemente. De esta forma, la revisión final se elaboró con base en 73 documentos quienes cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión por temporalidad, eliminación por duplicidad y estrecha relación con la temática objeto de estudio. A partir de esto, se reafirma como la homofobia y el deporte guardan estrecha relación en la mayoría de los estudios analizados, y de esta identificación se derivan abordajes conceptuales a través de las categorías de estudio relacionadas con la educación. Esta revisión documental deja abierta la invitación a realizar muchas más investigaciones relacionadas con esta problemática de una manera más cercana a la comunidad LGBTIQ+, dado que, es necesario enfatizar procesos de sensibilización de toda la macroestructura deportiva, sobre temas relacionados con la orientación sexual, buscando con ello, sembrar actitudes inclusivas desde el deporte, la educación deportiva y la relación social que en él se establece.
