John Rechy and the Novel of Opportunity
Authors: Duarte-Gray Isabel
Published: July 2024

This article argues that the career of queer Mexican American author John Rechy has been shaped by the epistemological limits of twentieth-century publishing—that is, what presses will and will not print. Because his early efforts to publish as an intersectional subject met continual rejection, Rechy leaned into the “sexual outlaw” reputation curated for him by Grove Press. Thus, the critical reception surrounding Rechy failed to acknowledge his status as a Latino author and Chicano subject until the mid-1980s. By comparing Rechy’s first, long-unpublished novel Pablo! to The Miraculous Day of Amalia Gómez, his first novel to be explicitly marketed as Latinx, this article suggests that the horizon of publishable Latinidad has structured his legacy as an artist. Rechy’s career in publishing echoes his larger status as hustler and “sexual outlaw” in that he deployed publishers’ sensationalist characterizations of his identity against them, playing up different aspects of his marginalized subjectivity at opportune moments.
Beware of Americans Bearing Gifts
Authors: Conway Joe
Published: July 2024

Cultural theory often celebrates gift-giving as a benevolent force opposed to the socially destructive energies of commodity capitalism. Alexandra Urakova’s Dangerous Giving challenges this utopian tradition by showing just how ambivalent nineteenth-century writers in the United States were about the potentially pernicious effects of giving gifts. Rather than locating a space outside conflict and competition, gifts and the discourse surrounding their exchange lay bare, and in some cases intensify, the many forms of inequality that structured nineteenth-century American life.
Transatlantic Reprinting and the Authorizing Efforts of British Publishers
Authors: Despain Jessica
Published: July 2024

DeSpain reviews The Transatlantic Materials of American Literature: Publishing US Writing in Britain, 1830–1860 by Katie McGettigan, published by University of Massachusetts Press. McGettigan’s book builds upon the foundational work of Meredith McGill’s American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting (2003) to argue that British publishers helped expand the scope and audience for American literature by creating editions of American authors’ works that lent them greater credibility. McGettigan’s study offers in-depth case studies of British editions of hallmark American authors, including Longfellow, Poe, Melville, and Lydia Huntley Sigourney. Drawing on a comprehensive body of research into publishers’ circulars, advertisements, and archives, McGettigan covers multiple media forms, including deluxe editions, the cheap series, the gift book, and the magazine. DeSpain argues McGettigan’s book is an important contribution that reimagines the scholarly narrative about transatlantic reprinting as one of collaboration rather than contest. McGettigan’s most important contribution is her extensive analysis of how the cheap series created a greater global context for literature, which will prove fruitful for new scholarship about the distribution and reception of the cheap series.

Published: July 2024

Paranormal turizm, dünyada son yıllarda yaygınlaşan önemli turizm akımlarından biridir. Türkiye’de ise paranormal turizme yönelik farkındalığın yeterli düzeyde olduğunu söylemek güçtür. Çalışmada Türkiye’nin önemli paranormal alanlarından biri olarak görülen Nusaybin’deki Gırnavaz Höyüğünün bir turizm destinasyonu olarak geliştirilebilme potansiyelinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile toplanan veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuş ve 3 ana tema 10 alt tema tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular, Gırnavaz’ın ilk Müslüman cinlerin mekânı olarak görüldüğünü ve genel olarak paranormal şifa beklentisi ile çarşamba günleri ziyaret edildiğini göstermektedir. Tarihi açıdan da yüksek bir potansiyele sahip olan Gırnavaz'ın ziyaretçilerin tuvalet, su, temizlik, uyuma alanı (ritüel için) gibi temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılama noktasında dahi zayıf kaldığı, bunun temel nedeninin ise arkeolojik sit alanı kısıtlamaları ve bazı yönetim zayıflıkları olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bölgenin sürekli terör ile anılması da önemli bir zayıflık olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Toplumun özellikle şifa amaçlı ziyaretlere büyük ölçüde destek verdiği destinasyonda turizmin geliştirilmesi noktasında önemli bir beklentinin oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: Mercado Vásquez Martín
Published: July 2024

La fenomenología del espacio vivido, formulada por Gastón Bachelard en 1957, busca explorar las representaciones de espacios felices a través de una perspectiva topofílica. Este artículo se adentra en una reflexión profunda sobre la topofobia, derivada del análisis de relatos de mujeres víctimas de la dictadura militar en Bolivia (1979-1981). El conjunto de testimonios, extraído de la obra Libres (2013), se enfoca en la caracterización del ominoso recinto de tortura conocido como el “Cuartito azul”. El propósito central de esta investigación es ofrecer una caracterización analítica de las imágenes poéticas de tristeza presentes en los testimonios de tortura, ampliando así los fundamentos del topoanálisis bachelardiano. Inicialmente, se esboza de manera concisa el concepto de topofilia en el contexto del proyecto de topoanálisis de Bachelard. Posteriormente, se presenta un análisis topofóbico detallado del conjunto de testimonios, expandiendo el diálogo a través de la interacción con los conceptos de la Nueva Fenomenología propuesta por Hermann Schmitz. La conclusión central de este trabajo radica en la afirmación de que la topofobia representa el estudio y exploración de las imágenes poéticas que encapsulan la experiencia de humillación en el ser humano. A través de esta indagación, se persigue una comprensión enriquecida del topoanálisis bachelardiano, mediante la incorporación de contextos históricos y vivencias personales en la investigación antropológico-filosófica, resaltando así la significativa influencia de los espacios en la experiencia emocional y existencial de las personas.

Da questão sanitária à ambiental
Authors: Misse Filho Michel
Published: July 2024

Este artigo investiga as trajetórias que envolvem a emergência da poluição hídrica no litoral dos antigos estados da Guanabara e do Rio de Janeiro, a evolução dos sistemas de esgotamento sanitário da região e a defasagem da rede, ao longo das décadas de 1950 a 1970. A análise insere o caso da poluição das praias cariocas e da baía de Guanabara num cenário de transição e surgimento do ambientalismo moderno, na passagem tortuosa e controversa de um enfoque sanitário para uma percepção ambiental do problema dos esgotos, evidenciando diferentes marcadores científicos usados para aferir os impactos da poluição. Por fim, pontuamos como a necessidade de atuação conjunta dos dois estados frente à poluição das águas teve influência no processo de fusão político-administrativa que culminou no atual estado do Rio de Janeiro, criado em 1975.

Published: July 2024

The development of technology and the internet has increased the popularity of online games, such as Mobile Legends. However, in competitions, players often experience defeat due to various factors, including player skills, team strategies, and the right hero selection. The right hero selection is very important to increase the chances of winning. Therefore, the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) has become a focus for competitive teams around the world. This study aimed to determine the classification of victory in MPL matches based on draft pick. Gaussian Naïve Bayes and Decision Tree were used as classification algorithm models in this study. The process in this study included cleaning data, data transformation (labeling), handling imbalanced data, scaling, splitting, and hyperparameter. The evaluation stage used confusion matrix, correlation data, and AU-ROC curve. The results of this study showed that the Decision Tree method had better performance than Gaussian Naïve Bayes in classifying data using the confusion matrix. The AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) analysis showed that the decision tree had better performance than Gaussian naive Bayes in predicting positive and negative data. This is indicated by the higher AUC value for the Decision Tree, which is 0.67 compared to Gaussian Naïve Bayes which is 0.48. Classification models with higher AUC values can more accurately distinguish between positive and negative data. In this study, the Decision Tree had a higher AUC value than Gaussian Naïve Bayes so the Decision Tree could more accurately classify victory and defeat data.

Non-destructive evaluation using ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing has extensive applications in the cement materials industry. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test is accepted as alternative to destructive testing to determine the compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and Poisson’s ratio, which are needed for structural design. In modern construction technology, the use of Plastic waste (PW) as a partial replacement to natural aggregates in a mortar mix is growing in popularity primarily because it reduces the initial capital cost of raw materials and the associated conservation in environment. In this regard, this study explains the correlations between mechanical proprieties, and UPV tests for mortar contains 25%, 50%, and 75% of waste aggregate of plastic.   Mortar based on Plastic Waste (MPW) specimens were tested by direct, semi-direct, and indirect UPV. UPV measurements can be effectively used to determine the dynamic modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of Mortar based on Plastic Waste   MPW. The dynamic elastic modulus and the Poisson’s ratio decreases for the same mortar composite when at increasing PW content. Thus, the incorporation of PW particles into the cement matrix confirms the capacity of composites to reduce the sound intensity and damp vibrations inside the composites. The results of this study will be significant for non-destructive evaluations of MPW, while additional recommendations for future studies are presented at the end of the paper.
Numerical investigations of GRS wall performance with tiered configurations
Authors: Ali Farik , Benmebarek Sadok , Djabri Mohamed
Published: July 2024

Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) walls have become increasingly popular as a result of their numerous advantages. In some cases these structures are constructed in a multi-tiered configuration, which makes their behavior more complicated. Nevertheless, the response of the multi-tiered walls is insufficiently explained by the existing design manuals and literature studies. This paper investigated the performance of GRS walls with multi-tiered configurations using two-dimensional (2D) finite element numerical models. This study compares the performance of two-tiered GRS walls with simple GRS walls (single-tiered). It also examines the impact of offset distance, backfill strength properties, and reinforcement parameters (vertical spacing and reinforcement length) on horizontal deformations and reinforcement tensile loads in two-tiered GRS walls. Adopting a multi-tiered configuration for GRS walls can significantly reduce both the horizontal wall deformation and the maximum reinforcement tensile loads. Additionally, the critical offset distance found in this study is significantly smaller than that recommended by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines. The finite element results also demonstrate that using high-quality backfill soil can minimize interaction between lower and upper tiers. Using a uniform reinforcement length of 0.6H for both tiers significantly reduces horizontal deformation compared to the FHWA recommendation of 0.6H and 0.35H for the lower and the upper tier respectively.

Authors: Bahi Fatima Zohra , Bensaibi Mahmoud , Draidi Bensaleh Mohammed
Published: July 2024

In this study, we focused on estimating the liquefaction potential index using a multi-criteria method known as the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This index allows us to classify our site based on the significance of the soil liquefaction phenomenon. To achieve this, we first identified the parameters influencing liquefaction. We then assigned weights to these parameters using the AHP method, which required the development of an initial program in EXCEL. Utilizing the determined weights, a second program was developed in DELPHI to calculate the liquefaction potential index. This index enables the classification of the studied soils according to a proposed scale. The DELPHI program, equipped with a user-friendly interface, allows engineers to generate a report providing the liquefaction potential index of the studied site and its classification. The method was validated through several case studies, and the obtained results were compared in two ways: first, with the conclusions provided by a geotechnical laboratory, and second, with the results obtained using the SLAKE software, which specializes in liquefaction estimation. These comparisons showed a very good correlation with our results.

Authors: Safia Abdelli Islam , Salima Attouti , Ibrahim Bettaher
Published: July 2024

This study introduces a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) scheme for Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination, integrating ultra-filtration pretreatment and Electrodialysis (ED) for brine concentration. The scheme divides brine reject into fractions, directing them to an electrolyser and evaporator powered by renewable energy sources. Notable findings include the treatment plant's capability to produce 792 cubic meters of fresh water daily, while decreasing salt concentration from 4,660 ppm to 30 ppm, showcasing efficient desalination. Additionally, recycling fractions of RO unit waste to various components enhances resource efficiency. The study highlights the daily production of 2,269.27 kg of hydrogen, coupled with minimal electricity consumption of 74,885.91 kWh, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, the utilization of solar energy significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels, thereby promoting sustainability and mitigating the environmental impacts associated with traditional energy sources. Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource that helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet. This shift towards renewable energy is crucial in addressing climate change and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. In the context of desalination, emphasizing environmental preservation and water security is paramount. Desalination processes, while providing essential fresh water in arid regions, often produce brine as a byproduct. The brine, with a high salt concentration of 13,648 ppm, poses a disposal challenge that can negatively impact marine ecosystems if not managed properly. This is where Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems come into play. With a ZLD index of 2.7%, these systems ensure that all wastewater is treated and reused, leaving no liquid waste behind. ZLD technology captures and recycles every drop of water, converting waste into reusable resources, thus minimizing environmental harm. The model showcased a significant decrease in brackish water extraction from 1,200 cubic meters per day to 871.52 cubic meters per day, marking a notable 27% reduction. These results highlight the promising effectiveness of the proposed ZLD scheme in enhancing the efficiency of brackish water treatment, demonstrating its potential to significantly reduce the demand for fresh water resources while achieving sustainable desalination practices. This article will present a detailed yet a simple description of reverse osmosis and ZLD, how do they correlate and how these two technologies represent the future of water treatment.

The escalating prevalence of elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) levels worldwide has led to a substantial burden on healthcare systems, posing considerable economic challenges. This research paper presents a comparative cost assessment that delves into the intricate relationship between BMI and its financial impact on health ser-vices. The rise in obesity and overweight individuals has been linked to a surge in chronic health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, muscu-loskeletal disorders, and certain cancers, which necessitate extensive medical inter-ventions, long-term treatments, and management, thereby amplifying healthcare expenditures significantly. Beyond direct healthcare costs, the economic repercus-sions encompass productivity losses, absenteeism from work, and diminished quality of life for affected individuals. This comparative cost assessment aims to analyze healthcare expenditure data from various demographic groups to uncover the dif-ferential impact of BMI on healthcare costs. By exploring preventive measures, in-terventions, and policy frameworks, the study seeks to mitigate the economic strain on healthcare systems resulting from BMI-related health complications. Under-standing the intricate relationship between BMI and healthcare costs is crucial in formulating evidence-based strategies to address this growing challenge, providing valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and stakeholders, guid-ing the implementation of effective measures to alleviate the financial burden on health services while promoting improved health outcomes for populations globally.

China's persimmon dyeing culture has a profound heritage and is rich in national characteristics. However, with the departure of the production artists, the persimmon dyeing culture is facing the severe challenge of rapid extinction. In order to continue to promote Chinese persimmon dyeing culture and improve the public's awareness of persimmon dyeing, by analyzing the historical background, artistic value, and social significance of persimmon dyeing culture, and building a theory based on the situation, a small program of persimmon dyeing culture was constructed to spread Chinese persimmon dyeing, to enhancing user experience and cultural identity. The research adopted a multi-disciplinary research method, which was user-centered and combined with historical document research, sociology, art, and information technology to comprehensively analyze the persimmon dyeing process. User testing and feedback show that the small program is highly interactive, has high user participation and can provide users with an immersive experience. This research not only has important practical value for the inheritance of persimmon dyeing culture, but also provides new perspectives and methods for the digital dissemination of traditional culture.
Constructing Memories of the Northeast and Calling Forth the Spirit of the Times: A Symptomatic Reading of "The Long Season"
Authors: Yuan Tianyu
Published: July 2024

As an interpretive methodology, Althusser's concept of "symptomatic reading" provides an epistemological approach for deciphering the elusive meanings behind cinematic works. Building upon this framework, this paper examines the popular short drama "The Long Season," a hit in China in 2023. The study aims to decode the "silent discourse" that the director intends to convey behind the overt narrative presented in the story. "The Long Season" achieves a re-articulation of "new Northeastern memory" and evokes the contemporary consciousness of "truth, goodness, and beauty" through its genre-blending of suspense and comedy, innovative storytelling from a paternal perspective, and the tragic displacement within its plot structure.

Analysis of Natural Gas Hydrate Resource Content based on Kriging Algorithm and TOPSIS Evaluation Model
Authors: Guan Boyang
Published: July 2024

The exploration and evaluation system for natural gas hydrate resources is currently incomplete. Research on evaluation methods for the quantity of natural gas hydrate resources is an important part of theoretical studies and is crucial in guiding exploration and development activities. In this paper, we establish the total effective thickness (Z), average porosity of the reservoir ( ), and the absolute value of average saturation ( ) as indicators for evaluating the quantity of natural gas hydrate resources. We then statistically analyze the data from various exploration points to obtain the values of these indicators. Subsequently, we employ the Kriging algorithm to interpolate the data, obtaining a more densely distributed grid. Following this, we establish a TOPSIS evaluation model to calculate the scores of each exploration point. Finally, a heat map is generated to represent the distribution of resource quantity scores in various regions. The results indicate that natural gas hydrate resources are primarily distributed in the upper left, lower right, and directly below the detection area.
