Authors: Kadim Abdul
Published: November 2022

Semakin berkembangnya teknologi informasi seperti sekarang ini, mendorong munculnya perangkat-perangkat teknologi informasi, hal ini seringkali dikaitkan dengan perkembangan komputer yang semakin hari semakin mengalami peningkatan. Munculnya laptop dengan berbagai merk dan kwalitas serta variasi harga yang semakin kompetitif baik produksi dalam negeri maupun produksi luar mengakibatkan meningkatnya minat daya beli masyarakat. Seringkali masyarakat melakukan pembelian hanya karena tertarik dengan model ataupun tampilan serta fasilitas yang terbaru tanpa di sesuaikan dengan kebutuhannya. Hal ini seringkali menjadikan  ketidaksesuaian antara harga barang, fungsi dan fasilitas yang ada.

Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) adalah suatu metode yang dapat diterapkan dalam perangkat lunak pengambilan keputusan dimana digunakan untuk mencari alternatif optimal dari sejumlah alternatif dengan kriteria tertentu. Ada beberapa teknik yang dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah dalam model FMADM antara lain: Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Weighted Product (WP), ELECTRE, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) dan Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) dimana proses perhitungan setiap metode tersebut berbeda dengan yang lain. Dalam tugas akhir ini digunakan metode Weighted Product (WP) karena menentukan nilai bobot untuk setiap atribut, menggunakan perkalian untuk menghubungkan atribut, dimana setiap atribut harus dipangkatkan dulu dengan bobot atribut yang bersangkutan, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan proses perangkingan untuk menentukan alternatif terbaik dari sejumlah alternatif, dalam hal ini alternatif yang dimaksud adalah teknologi konservasi dan jenis komputer..
The Chagos Archipelago Case and the Limits of International Law (English) L’Affaire de l’Archipel des Chagos et Les Limites du Droit International
Authors:   American University in the Emirates, Dubai, UAE, Banna Mahir Al
Published: November 2022

The legal status of the Chagos archipelago is complex because it is of a hybrid nature: it is under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom which grants rights at sea to Mauritius, and on land to the United States (Diego Garcia). This case is also important because it is not easy to have two divergent preoccupations: the protection of the environment in the face of the rights of Chagossians and environmental sustainability in the face of equity and human rights. This case was first submitted to the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), before the UN General Assembly had asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) about the claims that the PCA declared it lacked jurisdiction to answer.

Authors:   American University In The Emirates, Dubai, UAE, Alkhaldi Inas
Published: November 2022

This paper examines the complex relationship between judicial accountability and judicial independence. In order to provide a framework for good governance in the Jordanian judiciary by identifying its main features and shortcomings in its work. The paper describes mechanisms for achieving accountability through various methods of judicial appointment and removal. But more important than these approaches, she says, is the idea of ensuring judicial accountability by insisting that judges are accountable to the law. The experience of the judiciary in Jordan over the past decades has clearly shown that the judicial administration needs a strategic vision based on efficiency, accountability, and integrity. The paper addresses in detail the challenges of judicial administration that need to be addressed through the implementation of a viable national strategy for judicial accountability

Published: November 2022

Aim of study: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the mite control strategies combined with nutritional management on honey bee colony dynamics and survival during winter, the following spring, and summer.
Area of study: Santa Fe province in central Argentina.
Material and methods: We set two apiaries with 40 colonies each and fed one apiary with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and the other with sucrose syrup (SS). Within each apiary, we treated half the colonies against Varroa mites and half of these treated colonies also received a pollen patty.  The other half of the colonies remained untreated and did not received pollen patties. All colonies were sampled for Varroa infestation level, Nosema ceranae abundance and colony strength seven times during a year (from summer 2016 to autumn 2017). We computed autumn mite invasion and colony losses at each sampling time.
Main results: Colonies fed with HFCS had more brood cells during the study that those fed with SS and treated colonies had fewer adult bees and Varroa infestation than untreated colonies. No significant effect of the protein supplementation was observed on any of the response variables. , SS colonies from all groups had significantly more mites drop counts than HFCS colonies.
Research highlights: Considering that a reduced frequency of application is desirable, our results suggested that nutrition management could enhance chemical treatment effectiveness since honey bees might profit from improved nutrition. However, a better understanding of the nutritional requirements of the colonies under field conditions is needed.
There’s No Substitute for a Good Substitute Teacher
Authors: Hampton Frederick M. , Lane Selena
Published: November 2022

The onslaught of COVID 19 forced the closures of schools, but upon their gradual reopening the need for high quality substitute school teachers was at an all-time high. Although many school districts were in need well before the pandemic struck, this disease illuminated the fact that substitute teachers across the nation were in short supply. In an economic environment where other jobs may offer higher pay, more benefits, less stress, and more professional respect, the ranks of quality substitute teachers has continued to dwindle. Competent and capable substitute teachers provide a reliable bridge for student learning when university trained and state licensed teachers are temporarily unavailable. This paper discusses specific causes of the substitute shortage, how varying school districts are impacted by the problem, and offers specific guidance regarding how to make significant improvements in both the short and long-term supply through better identification, recruitment, and ongoing support of substitute teachers.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Obesity is a disease of increasing prevalence among adults in Brazil. It is an undesirable condition both from a health and an aesthetic point of view. The cult of the thin body sometimes motivates the adoption of restrictive diets, which significantly limit the menu. However, the use of this type of diet may be associated with unhealthy repercussions on food, well-being, and weight loss. Objective: To evaluate the perception of the dietary pattern of adult users of restrictive diets in a city in the northwest of São Paulo. Methods: Prospective observational cross-sectional study, carried out through an online questionnaire, with 108 subjects of both genders who perform/have already performed restrictive diets. Results: Predominance of female individuals (84.3%) aged between 18 and 21 years (49.1%). Regarding the Body Mass Index (BMI), 48.1% were classified within the normal range and 31.5% as preobese. In the period before the diet, 72.2% of the participants believed they were overweight. The beginning of the diet was motivated mainly by the desire to lose weight (87%) and its accomplishment happened, in most cases, without professional supervision (58.3%). Excessive eating episodes during the diet period were significant (only 14.8% never experienced it), with feelings of guilt associated in 71.3% of the cases. Conscious control during meals to avoid weight gain occurred with high frequency in 72.3% of cases. Conclusion: A portion of the population presents problematic perceptions about the experience with restrictive diets, which are associated with eating and psychological disorders.
Vietnamese EFL/ESL Learners’ Attitudes towards British English versus American English Accents
Authors: Nguyen Thanh
Published: November 2022

This paper explored the attitudes of Vietnamese learners of English as a second/ foreign language (ESL/EFL) towards American English (AmE) accent versus British English (BrE) accent. Responses to a survey were collected from 70 ESL/EFL learners in Vietnam who were asked to rate Five-point-Likert-scale statements to explore their beliefs and attitudes about the two accents. The statements in the survey were classified into three dimensions Cognitive, Affective, and Conative. Results showed that Vietnamese ESL/EFL learners believed that BrE accent was an accent of higher social statuses while AmE accent was of more solidarity in terms of cognitive dimension. Regarding the affective dimension, those Vietnamese ESL/EFL learners had much more positive sentiments for AmE accent than BrE. Similarly, in the conative dimension, a higher percentage of those ESL/EFL learners preferring AmE accent as the target model accent for them to follow and practice when speaking English than BrE. Overall, despite the fact that the BrE variety is somehow biased than AmE by the language policy in Vietnam, AmE accent seems to be more preferred by Vietnamese ESL/EFL leaners.

Authors: DİLBER Caner
Published: November 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de katılım bankaları tarafından ihraç edilen sukuklar ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.

Yöntem: Bu çalışmada yöntem olarak Engle-Granger eş-bütünleşme ve Grenger nedensellik yaklaşımlarından faydalanılmıştır. Türkiye’deki tüm katılım bankalarının ihraç etmiş olduğu sukuk ve reel GSYH rakamları 2013Q4-2021Q3 dönemi için analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Yapılan Engle-Granger eş-bütünleşme testinin sonucunda sukuk ihracı ile reel GSYH arasında uzun dönemli istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir eş- bütünleşme ilişkisi bulunamamıştır. Bununla beraber Grenger nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre reel GSYH’dan sukuk ihraçlarına doğru tek yönlü Grenger nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonucuna göre Türkiye’de katılım bankaları tarafından piyasaya sunulan sukuklar ile ekonomik büyüme arasında eş-bütünleşme ilişkisi yoktur. Diğer bir deyişle değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli bir denge ilişkisinin bulunmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ekonomik büyümeden sukuk ihracına doğru tespit edilen tek yönlü Grenger nedensellik ilişkisi katılım bankalarının sukuk enstrümanı ile ekonomik büyümeye katkı sunamadıklarını aksine ekonomik büyümeden istifade ettiklerini göstermektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları beklenen sonuçların tersi yöndedir.

Özgünlük: Çalışmanın özgünlüğü, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi Türkiye bağlamında Engle-Grenger Eşbütünleşme ve Grenger nedensellik yaklaşımını kullanarak inceleyen ilk çalışma olmasıdır.
Liquefied Natural Gas – The Future Fuel for Shipping or Cul-de-sac
Authors: Herdzik Jerzy
Published: November 2022

The paper analyzes the reasons for the interest in natural gas as a potential marine fuel to replace the existing fuels derived from crude oil. The increase of environmental awareness and the effects of human activity caused the process of searching for more environmental friendly fuels. Naturally, interest has been shifted to a well-known energy source commonly found on Earth, in quantities much larger than crude oil. This fuel in the form of liquefied natural gas seems to be an attractive substitute for the currently dominant types of marine fuels. The technologies of its extraction, liquefaction, storage and transport were mastered and marine engines were adopted to its combustion as dual-fuel engines. The regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organization and the European Parliament, forcing the reduction of emissions harmful substances into the atmosphere from the combustion of marine fuels, require taking action to meet them. The proposals in individual next 30 years are given. Due to introduction of regulations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, it is necessary to switch to fuels with a lower or zero carbon content or the use of biofuels recognized to be more environmental friendly. Due to only 25% lower carbon content in methane with its higher lower heating value, it is possible to reduce the direct emission from this gas by about 30%. However, in the processes from natural gas extraction to energy effect in engines as a fuel, methane leaks occur, significantly worsening its image as an ecological fuel. Researches indicate that with current technologies, natural gas should not be recognized as an ecological fuel until gas leaks are significantly reduced. The article justifies why LNG should be considered as a transient marine fuel, with the need to switch to other synthetic fuels, ammonia, and finally hydrogen.

Published: November 2022

EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 is aiming to restore 25,000 km of free-flowing rivers across Europe. The important issue is which barriers should be prioritised for removal. In this study a set of socio-economic and environmental criteria was chosen to rank the dams on salmonid rivers in Lithuania and recommend them for removal. As these criteria usual contradict themselves the multi-criteria decision analysis tool was utilized. The results showed that the Anykščiai dam on the river Šventoji can be recommended to be removed first. The removal can significantly increase the salmonid population in the river Šventoji over significant stretch of the river. Also, this dam is in the protected area and is not listed as national heritage and does not have hydropower plant on it. Although, this study showed that dams with hydropower plants can also be recommended for removal.

Published: November 2022

Analysis of the results of the hydraulic calculations of a slotted separator, allowed for changes in the separator design taking into account the reduction of flow turbulence, ensuring the continuity of water flow and sediments as well as optimal location of the slots. The separator is an important element of the installation for hydromechanical removal of sediments from the bottom of a water reservoir. Tests were carried out on the physical and mathematical model. Hydraulic calculations and numerical simulations were carried out using the SSIIM (Simulation of sediment movements in water intakes with multiblock option) program. The program enables three-dimensional analysis of flows and transport of sediments in rivers and canals by solving the Navier-Stokes equation and the turbulent model k-. A number of numerical experiments of the separator work were carried out for various design solutions regarding the geometry of the inlet and outlet channels and their connection with the chambers as well as slots system. The numerical simulations and conducted research on a physical model, allowed to develop an optimal solution.
Probability Function Estimation for the Maximum Precipitation Model Using Kernel Estimators
Authors: Karczewski Maciej , Kaźmierczak Bartosz , Michalski Andrzej , Kuchar Leszek
Published: November 2022

The distribution of maximum rainfall level is not a homogeneous phenomenon and is often characterized by multimodality, and often the phenomenon of heavy right-hand tail. Modelling this phenomenon using classic probability distributions leads to ignoring multimodality, and thus underestimating or overestimating the predicted values in the tail tails – the most important from the point of view of safe dimen-sioning of drainage systems. To avoid the abovementioned difficulties, a non-parametric kernel estimator method of maximum precipitation density function was used (on the example of rainfall data from a selected station in Poland). The meth-odology proposed in the paper (for use on any rainfall data from other meteorologi-cal stations) will allow the development of more reliable local models of maximum precipitation.

Published: November 2022

One of the most in demand research topic in today’s technology world is medical area and cancer is one of them. The second main cause of death in the world is cancer. In 2015 about 8.8 million people have died due to cancer [5]. For the early detection of breast cancer several types of research have been done to start the treatment and increase the survivability. Breast cancer affects the women mentally as well as emotionally. The goal of this challenge is to provide a framework that uses a cancer medical dataset as input and then analyses the dataset to produce findings that help medical experts better understand the state of the disease. The majority of studies concentrate on mammography results. However, incorrect detection in mammography pictures can occasionally result, endangering the patient's health. Cancer that forms in the cells of breast is said to be breast cancer. The cancer should be cured if it is diagnosed in early stage. So, with the help of machine learning algorithm the cancer should be diagnosed early. Most of the women lives are affected by the breast cancer in all over the world. There are two types of tumors that can be found in breast cancer i.e. malignant or benign. If a person is having a cancer disease, then it will be categorized as malignant otherwise it is known as benign. In 2020, 685000 deaths and 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer globally, somewhere in world in every 14 seconds, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer [1]. Patient life from the breast cancer can be saved only if it is found in early stage; if it is diagnosed later then the chances of survival are less. If the cancer is diagnosed early then the patient will get a better treatment. This study will concentrate on a few machine learning methods for identifying if a breast cancer is malignant or benign. The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset, which was acquired via Kaggle, was used in this study. Our goal is to evaluate how accurately various machine learning algorithms can detect breast cancer. These include Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbors. All the experiments are conducted on a Jupiter platform. After the analyzing the accuracy of each algorithm the most suitable one is Support Vector Machine that gives the better accuracy among all i.e., 98%.

A Study of the Correlation Between Junior High School Students' Cultural Awareness of English and English Scores
Authors: Zhang Jing , Zhang Tingting
Published: November 2022

Cultivating language cultural awareness helps enhance students' national identity and national sentiment, improve their sense of language cultural identity and self-confidence, and facilitate their growth into socially responsible and civilized individuals. Mainland Chinese students use the British language "English" as a second language in their language learning process. Therefore, developing students' cultural awareness of English becomes an essential part of teaching. At present, most studies by Chinese researchers on English cultural awareness have focused on its current state and the way it is cultivated, and there are few studies on the correlation between English cultural awareness and English scores. Thus, this study will attempt to explore the correlation between junior high school students' cultural awareness of English and their English scores. The experiment showed that there was a significant positive correlation between English cultural awareness and English scores (r=0.742, p<0.01), that is, the more cultural awareness you are of English, the more your English scores will improve significantly. The findings of this study help researchers of English language teaching and teachers to further understand the importance of cultural awareness in English and the correlation between English cultural awareness and English scores.

Lo que los profesores tenemos entre manos es algo realmente grande: ayudar a los jóvenes que se nos confían a entender, a profundizar, a no quedarse solo en lo anecdótico y a pensar con rigor.

Los planes de formación del profesorado adolecen de una deficiente atención a ciertos aspectos básicos de la tarea docente que tienen que ver de forma directa con el centro neurálgico de su quehacer: enseñar cosas y ayudar a sus alumnos a entenderlas.

En la enseñanza y el aprendizaje intelectual constantemente recurrimos a operaciones como definir, distinguir, clasificar; en muchas materias del currículum estamos familiarizados con nociones como las de “concepto”, “enunciado”, “razonamiento”, “hipótesis”, “demostración”, “axioma”, “modelo”… Desde luego, cuando las empleamos en nuestra docencia, todos los profesores tenemos una cierta intuición de lo que significan. Pero una conciencia más fundamental y mejor fundada del significado y sentido de ciertas nociones epistemológicas elementales, no sé si dará mayor eficacia a nuestra tarea docente, pero es seguro que puede ayudar a que nuestro trabajo esté mejor hecho, y a que sea más bello hacerlo.
Figuraciones de la violencia
Authors: Tavares dos Santos José Vicente
Published: November 2022

La relación entre sociología y literatura siempre se ha caracterizado por conflictos y complementariedades. Desde finales del siglo XIX, se consolidó una nueva episteme sobre el conocimiento de la realidad y las irrealidades que la configuran. Ya sea en tanto desafío para entender la “comedia humana” o como una forma de descubrir el inconsciente, el fetichismo de la mercancía o el enigma de la modernidad, la sociología y la literatura caminaron por las encrucijadas de la imaginación sociológica.

Este libro discute la relación que los sociólogos latinoamericanos establecen con la literatura y el periodismo literario, así como las novelas de los dictadores. La novela de la violencia representa una tragedia de la modernidad tardía.

Son analizados, a partir de la microfísica de la violencia, una serie de autores latinoamericanos: Rubem Fonseca, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza y Patricia Melo (Brasil); Elmer Mendoza y Guillermo Arriaga (México); Jorge Franco y Juan Gabriel Vásquez (Colombia); Miguel Gutiérrez y Santiago Roncagliolo (Perú); Ramón Díaz Eterovic (Chile); Ricardo Piglia (Argentina) y Anacristina Rossi (Costa Rica).

Lithium is a mood stabilizer widely used in the pharmacotherapy of bipolar disorder and treatment‑resistant depression. Taking into account dysregulated inflammatory activity in depression and the immunomodulatory role of lithium, we hypothesized that genes associated with inflammatory responses may be potential biomarkers of lithium action. We aimed to compare gene
expression changes between the brain and the periphery after chronic lithium administration in an animal model of depression. Depressive behavior was induced by chronic mild stress protocol for 4 weeks. After 2 weeks, rats started to receive lithium (study group) or water (reference group). The control group were rats not exposed to stress. Amygdala, hippocampus, frontal cortex and peripheral blood were analyzed using whole transcriptome expression microarrays. Changes were confirmed with qPCR and ELISA assay. After 2 weeks of lithium administration, we observed significant changes in gene expression between amygdala and peripheral blood. Logistic regression analysis determined Alox15 expression as a predictor of lithium status, as its expression was tissue‑specific and increased in amygdala and decreased in blood. Analysis of serum ALOX15 protein revealed its upregulation after two‑week lithium administration. Our study suggests that lithium may have therapeutic potential in depressive behaviors. These results indicate immunomodulatory effect of lithium and that Alox15 may be a new potential marker of chronic lithium treatment.
ANNA/ASJA LACIS AND THE MULTILINGUALITY OF THE OTHER
Authors: Ingram Susan
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the multilingual nature of Anna/Asja Lācis’s own works as well as those devoted to her. When Anna Lācis’s memoirs were published in German in 1971, the editor Hildegard Brenner pointed out that the name Asja Lācis should appear more often in the research on Walter Benjamin and the cultural scene of Weimar. Asja Lācis did not receive well-deserved acclaim over the subsequent decades either. The conference, which is devoted to Asja Lācis and her work in the context of proletarian theatre and the ideas of leftism, indicates that the situation has changed under the influence of geopolitical and technological circumstances. The article analyses the influence of changes in the world on approaches to translation in culture and ensures an insight into Walter Benjamin’s translation work before meeting Asja Lācis in Capri. The goal of the paper is to analyse the efficiency of such work in order to understand both the difficulties in their relationships and the reception of their literary heritage, which are closely intertwined, as well as to facilitate the dialogue between this reception and leftism, which juxtaposes it to Antonio Gramsci’s works about translatability.
LEFT-WING IDEAS IN CONTEMPORARY LATVIA
Authors: Matulis Haralds
Published: November 2022

The word left has different meanings in Latvian. Alongside with one side of your body it also means social democratic and socialist-communist political orientation. In its turn kreisā prece (the left goods) means something illegal, and an inadequate idea is sometimes also called kreisa ideja (a left idea). In Latvia the 1990s came with the rightist thinking and its notions: market economy, liberal democracy, open society, and competition. Since then the rightist ideas have dominated Latvian political ideology. Even the 2008 economic crisis was the success story in the opinion of the right-wing politicians because the crisis helped to cut the unnecessary, non-characteristic and non-economical positions of government spending. At the same time the policies implemented by the state of Latvia were rather left-wing in many sectors if we look at the level of state intervention in the distribution of funding. Latvia provides state maintained free healthcare, tuition-free system of education, and the availability of culture to society is state subsidised. It allows me to draw a speculative hypothesis that the rightist and leftist ideas are in a mutually complementary dialectic struggle in Latvia. The leftist ideas are not implemented, and there is no need to fully put them into practice. The best possible world is the one in which there is rightist market capitalism and liberal democracy which undergo constant criticism by the leftist ideas, however, never to the extent that the leftist ideas should be put into effect.
THE ROLE OF ANNA (ASJA) LĀCIS IN THE GENESIS OF WALTER BENJAMIN’S PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT
Authors: Paškevica Beata
Published: November 2022

Walter Benjamin’s collection of articles, Passagenwerk (The Arcades Project), is regarded as the quintessence of his philosophical thought and aesthetical beliefs. A forerunner of this monumental work is the travel description entitled “Napoli”, written in co-authorship with Anna Lācis, where the keyword is porosity, which is a metaphor for the specific way of thinking for Walter Benjamin. The collection of literary sketches “One Way Street” and “Moscow Diary”, created in cooperation with Anna Lācis, are also important records of the 20th century aesthetical perceptions and ideological considerations. There exists an interesting intertextual link between the images of cities in various Benjamin’s works – Naples, Rīga, Moscow. The article is an attempt to discover the “unclear” influence of Asja Lācis on the philosophical thought of Walter Benjamin and is based on Beata Paškevica’s monograph “In der Stadt der Parolen. Asja Lacis, Walter Benjamin und Bertolt Brecht” published in Germany in 2006. The conclusion is that Asja Lācis has not had a great influence on Benjamin’s political views but on his aesthetical views. This has been metaphorically formulated by Benjamin himself in the dedication text of his book “One Way Street”.
ASJA LACIS IN NEAPEL. WIE DAS KONZEPT DER POROSITÄT DEN STIL DER TEXTE WALTER BENJAMINS UND THEODOR W. ADORNOS BEEINFLUSST
Authors: Mittelmeier Martin
Published: November 2022

In 1924 Asja Lācis and Walter Benjamin met in Capri and wrote together the short text “Naples” which got famous for its way of pictorial thinking and marked Benjamin’s turn towards the phenomena and politics of actual everyday life. But there is much more. In “Naples”, the authors use the porosity they find in the building material and the social happenings in Naples as a concept of thinking and a new, alternative structure of philosophical writing. I want to show how “Porosity” becomes the nucleus of the concept of constellation, one of the most important notions in the work of Benjamin and, influenced by him, Adorno.
POLITICAL ACTIVISM AS A FORM OF THEATRE
Authors: Kreicberga Zane
Published: November 2022

Nowadays political activism can be considered as a form of theatre: its strategies and tactics often employ the means proposed by Brecht and other thinkers of the political theatre. However, there is a paradox if artistic activism is being practised exclusively in the artistic context, it can find itself in a deadlock. The article is dedicated to the phenomenon of artistic activism, exploring such examples as protest movements born in the UK “Reclaim the Streets” and “Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army”, “Nano-rallies” in Barnaul, Russia, the act of “The Standing Man” in Turkey, and the activities in media space by the American activist collective “The Yes Men”. The artists create the language and aesthetics of protest merging the borders of life, art and protest.
