Embodied Absence and Evoking the Ancestors: A Collaborative Encounter
Authors: Kirkpatrick Davina Sian
Published: March 2020

This paper argues that through participation, dialogue, co-action and the occurrence of immersive experiences, as suggested by Kester (2011), key elements of the research process, relationship, and friendship deepen and are enriched by engaging with absence and presence as part of a chosen activity and bodily experience. The following narrative explores how the production of visual artwork and co-created ritual experience in a chosen landscape weaves a gossamer safety net across the chasm of loss and raises questions of absence and presence, personal loss and the collaborative shared experience; the power of ritual, conversation, and object-making give attention to the presence of absence. My argument builds on the notion of presence, manifest absence and Otherness (Law, 2004, pp. 84-85) and extends the ideas that absence can be located in space and have materiality and agency (Meyer & Woodthorpe, 2008).
Fingerprints and Pulp: Nomadic Ethics in Research Practice
Authors: Flint Maureen
Published: March 2020

This paper thinks with Braidotti’s nomadic ethics through the process of making paper to consider the ethical marks and cuts of doing qualitative research. Through the process of making paper, cutting, soaking, blending, pressing, and drying the debris of my dissertation, I consider questions of representation, ethics, and responsibility in qualitative research. Simultaneously, I consider the relations and interactions made possible through an art installation where the handmade paper was displayed as part of my dissertation defense. I contemplate my interactions and conversations with the participants that attended the installation and how these encounters led to new considerations of ethics and representation through research methodology and art.

L’alcool et comment on en parle entre jeunes en Allemagne et en France
Authors: Bastian Sabine , Oertl Christian
Published: March 2020

Cet article prend pour sujet des expressions allemandes et françaises dans le domaine de boissons alcoolisées. Comme 11% des jeunes âgés de 17 ans déclarent boire régulièrement de l’alcool, une recherché comparative dans ce domaine promet une évaluation copieuse vu que ces habitudes linguistiques influencent également la façon dont s’expriment les plus âgés. La plupart du corpus a été récoltée, analysée et discutée lors d’une étude sur le terrain pendant trois semaines dans un des bars les plus populaires parmi les jeunes Leipzigois. Les abréviations constituent le phénomène le plus fréquent, suivies des métaphores ainsi que des expressions ironiques voire satiriques. Des néologismes sont également entrés dans le registre, par exemple l’acronyme Uwe (unten wird’s eklig – en bas, c’est dégoûtant), ce qui est une allusion au prénom masculin allemand Uwe et désigne la dernière gorgée d’une boisson. La traduction se présente parfois comme problématique en raison de jeux de mots ou de realia. Cependant, plein d’options lexicales sont disponibles afi  de transmettre le message souhaité.
Constructions causatives avec le verbe boire : étude contrastive français/polonais
Authors: Cholewa Joanna
Published: March 2020

L’article prend pour objet la construction causative du français faire boire et ses correspondants en langue polonaise. Dans celle-ci, le prédicat causatif de base, exprimant le mieux ce sens causatif est le verbe poić, ainsi que ses dérivés préfixaux aspectuels, que l’on peut désigner par le symbole (-)poić. L’objectif de l’analyse est d’observer les régularités qui se manifestent au niveau du choix du verbe polonais au moment de la traduction de faire boire. L’analyse démontre que le polonais sélectionne différents verbes, selon les sens de faire boire, distingués sur la base de leur construction sémantico- syntaxique. Les emplois que l’on peut appeler prototypiques, se référant aux entités animées, sont traduits en polonais par poić / napoić. Cependant, pour traduire faire boire avec N1 appartenant à la classe [alcool], le polonais sélectionnera soit napoić (sans excès), soit spoić (excessivement). La présence du quantifieur en position de N1 bloque entièrement (-)poić. Enfin, la construction passive se faire boire se traduit par wsiąkać / wsiąknąć, prédicat non causatif.
Characteristic morphological signs of the brain damage during chronic hepatitis C virus infection identified in autopsy samples
Authors: Maybogin A. M.
Published: March 2020

Background: The central nervous system damage is one of the most common extra hepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection, with the prevalence of up to 50% of the infected cases. Previous studies have identified the main clinical, pathogenetic and neurometabolic features of this pathology, which make it possible to suggest its definite nosological independence. However, the morphological pattern of brain lesions in chronic HCV infection remains virtually unexplored, significantly limiting the possibility of comprehensive pathological diagnosis of the disease. Aim: To study morphological patterns and to identify typical and diagnostically significant pathological signs of brain involvement in chronic HCV infection. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study performed with a range of immunohistochemical (IHC) and pathomorphological techniques in the autopsy brain samples from patients who died of chronic HCV infection (40 cases) and those who died without any signs of past mental and infectious disorders (the control group, 15 cases). Results: The сharacteristic morphological signs of HCV-associated brain injury are IHC expression of the NS3 viral marker, an increase in CD68-positive microglial cell count, white brain matter microgliosis, perivascular and diffuse round cell inflammatory infiltration, degeneration and loss of neurons, neurophagy, demyelination, axonal degeneration, perivascular sclerosis, fibrous cell gliosis, small perivascular hemorrhages, focal hemosiderosis and calcification. The parameters of the identified abnormalities differ significantly depending on the brain region (p < 0.001). The identification of the HCV NS3 marker in the nervous tissue has the definitive diagnostic value. Conclusion: The body of histopathological abnormalities found in various parts of the brain from the infected patients represents the morphological equivalent of the clinical and functional manifestations of HCV-associated cerebral dysfunction. The results obtained can be used to improve the pathological diagnostics of brain lesions in chronic HCV infection; their implementation is feasible in routine pathological practice.

Authors: Gunes Muhammet , Oz Hatice Oznur , Yucel Hasan Erhan
Published: March 2020

The current study experimentally investigated the effect of glass powder on the mechanical and durability properties of selfcompacting mortars (SCMs). SCMs were designed with a low water/binder ratio as well as the high binder content. In this study, fly ash and glass powder can be used instead of cement to obtain the sustainable concrete and waste management control. At first, control mixture was produced with cement and fly ash without glass powder. Then, glass powder was used on the proportions 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% instead of fly ash in SCM. Compressive strength and flexural strength tests were conducted at 28 and 56 days, respectively. To determine durability properties, water sorptivity and rapid chloride permeability were tested at 28 and 56 days, respectively. Test results indicate that glass dust added to SCMs instead of fly ash improved partially the mechanical and durability properties of the mortars.Keywords: Fly ash, glass powder, mechanical and durability properties, self-compacting mortars .

Published: March 2020

The main goal of maximum power point (MPP) tracking control is to extract the maximum photovoltaic (PV) power by finding the optimal operating point under varying atmospheric conditions to improve the efficiency of PV systems. In recent years, the field of tracking the MPP of PV systems has attracted the interest of many researchers from the industry and academia. This research paper presents a comparative study between the modern fuzzy logic based controller and the conventional perturb & observe (P&O) technique. The comparative study was carried out under different weather conditions in order to analyse and evaluate the performance of the PV system. The overall system simulation has been performed using Matlab/Simulink software environment. The simulation results show that the dynamic behaviour exhibited by the modern fuzzy controller outperforms that of the conventional controller (P&O) in terms of response time and damping characteristics.

 

Keywords: MPPT, photovoltaic system, fuzzy logic control, P&O algorithm.

We actualize the problem of studying private book collections of the estate libraries of the Tambov Governorate of the late 18th - early of the 20th centuries as a cultural environment elements. In the context of the special value of the Russia’s possessory libraries, the novelty of the work is determined by a comprehensive study of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and contemporary historiography. Interest in the book collections of the Tambov Governorate noble libraries is due to their importance as the book culture monuments of the 18th-19th centuries, their importance for verifying the private manors history. We show that among the works of pre-revolutionary historiography the history of personal libraries was considered a specific problem. Authors of that time were interested in questions of the book trade, the organization of free typographies, the largest libraries history. As part of the literature of this period analysis, we consider the works of N.A. Rubakin, I.I. Dubasov, K. Bogoyavlensky, I. Dobrotvorsky, G. Speransky, O.S. Lavrov, V. Simonov. Consideration by Soviet historiography the problem of private libraries formation made it possible to reveal the dominance of ideological attitudes in the cultural life assessments of the Russian province. We study the works of P.N. Chermensky, M. Belokrys, A.S. Chernov, N.I. Romakh. We reveal the contribution of Soviet authors to the study of the private libraries activities, the private collections reconstruction, the problems of reading culture of individual owners. Consideration of the contemporary period works is based on the latest results analysis of the identification of book monuments. We analyze the work of the Tambov Regional Universal Scientific Library named after A.S. Pushkin staff, who studies the works collection of L.A. Voeikov, G.R. Derzhavin, A.D. Khvoshchinsky and A.N.

Published: March 2020

We consider the formation and development features of the nurseries as a special social
institution in the Tambov Governorate in the early of 20th century. The governorate and county levels of declared scientific problem consideration allows to conduct the successful reconstruction of the formation and activities of infant nurseries for foundlings, orphans in both urban and rural areas, which reflected the practice of social care and charity of “trouble children”. We reveal the implementation features of county initiatives for the social protection of foundlings and orphans, as well as the levels and forms of such support for such categories of Russian society by local authorities. We clarify the possibilities of organizing nurseries for foundlings at the governorate and county hospitals and maternity wards. We note the role of particular medical workers in the development of civic initiatives and public service in the rescue of foundlings. We identify the historiographic traditions of both domestic and foreign historians in the study of the orphans charity in the context of the social work organization and the social institutions development, including nurseries. Based on the analysis of a wide range of historical sources, it was possible to identify the most successful and effective practices of organizing nurseries both in the peaceful years and in the periods of Russian-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and World War I 1914–1918, which allowed
us to consider various little-studied aspects of the stated scientific problem. We reveal the regional features of the social protection system for orphans through the prism of nursery care. We clarify the position and role of the Orthodox Church on the organization of orphan charity in monasteries during the war years of 1914–1918. We reveal the main posing issues of the prospects for studying a wide range of problems in the history of orphanhood in the Tambov Governorate in the early 20th century. We pay attention to the importance of taking into account regional specifics and specific
historical manifestations of social policy when conducting a study of charitable support and private public initiatives of the considered period.

We propose the first attempt at scientific sociography of the Soviet partisan movement as the most complex phenomenon of the Great Patriotic War social history. At most historic study was possible, first of all, due to the formation of publicly accessible electronic databases with tens of millions of personal records with dozens of information parameters in each. The complex processing of coherent representative information of various electronic databases on long continuous lines allows you to “gather” a collective social portrait of Soviet partisans as a complex of formative signs and compare it with collective portraits of other groups of social activists 1941-1945. Among these features-traits: the general and particular time and place of birth of future activists of the great war period, their social origin and pre-war social status, gender and age structure, national composition, interwar migrations, the status in the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army and the nature of participation in the war. We pay special attention to the social and historical anthropology of activism during the great war. The work is abundantly provided with graphical results of the study.

Authors: Dyachkov Ilya V.
Published: March 2020

Despite the détente of 2018, the situation remains tense on the Korean Peninsula. Although the United States of America and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea summits have become almost regular, the two countries struggle to move forward with practical diplomatic work of nuclear issue, and their relations slowly creep towards a new crisis. The aim of this study is to describe the state of affairs on denuclearization or autumn 2019 and offer solutions for political progress. Current negotiations on the Korean Peninsula nuclear problem are exclusively bilateral. As a result, the entire region’s security depends on the outcome of Pyongyang and Washington. At the same time, these two players have very disparate goals and, lacking mutual trust, rarely make concessions on principal issues. For almost the entire 2019 the slipping of real negotiations was accompanied by intensive protocol communication between the leaders of North Korea and the USA. Both parties seemingly realize that they will not be able to agree, but they do not want to proceed to an open conflict just yet. Given the situation, other regional countries first and foremost, Russia should not to remain indifferent observers and call for a switch to multilateralism to ensure equal access to constructing common security.

Published: March 2020

The study of models for the social skills formation in the context of ensuring the social health of adolescent’s personality is an important area of theory and practice of the education system development. The basic social skills of aт adolescent are formed in the education system. The contemporary school is a complex system that integrates the capabilities and the resulting dominant of the formal and non-formal types of adolescents’ education in the formation of conflict resolution skills. To understand the essence of programs that ensure the adolescents’ social skills formation, we consider the genesis of adolescents conflict. In contemporary conditions, important causes of increased conflict are social problems, including digitalization of society and the active use of the Internet, the uncertainty of social situations and the blurred identity of adolescents. An analysis of domestic and foreign studies has allowed us to identify three models of programs organization for formation of adolescents’ conflict resolution skills: preventive, educational and service, including school counseling. We highlight the types of trainings introducing adolescents to behavioral strategies in a conflict situation as models of choice - “compromise”, “cooperation”, “rivalry”, “avoidance”, as well as conflict management styles. We give the characteristic of two groups (healthy and unhealthy) of conflict resolution methods. We substantiate the characteristic of a person’s social health, taking into account the skills of mastering healthy ways of resolving conflicts. We also provide the forms, stages of technology and subjects, organizing programs for the formation of conflict resolution skills as the basis of the social health of a adolescent’s personality.

Published: March 2020

We consider system and subsystems of spiritual and effective relations of the future teacher of physical culture to the surrounding objective and subjective reality, including relations to yourself. We give a structural and substantive characteristic in the course of education in a secondary or higher educational institution, in which such specialists are trained. In structuring the spiritual and effective relations of students - future teachers of physical culture on subsystems we use philosophical and psychological methodology: systemic and structural, activity, subjective, personal-oriented and relative approaches. We identify in the system of relations, which include the future teacher of physical culture at the educational institution, the following subsystems of spiritual and effective relations: the first subsystem of spiritual and practical relations is the attitude of the subject to various types of student life activity, the second subsystem of the spiritual and effective relations of the future teacher to the mass media, the third subsystem of spiritual and effective relations of the future teacher of physical culture to other people, the fourth subsystem of the student’s spiritual and practical relations to social groups, the fifth subsystem of the subject’s spiritual and effective relations to material reality, the sixth subsystem of relations to subjective reality, the seventh subsystem of spiritual and effective relations of the subject to his Self, to his inner world.
Los herederos de Olmsted: la American Society of Landscape Architects y la difícil definición del paisajista moderno
Authors: Mariné Nicolás
Published: March 2020

ResumenEn la actualidad, varios teóricos del paisaje han notado una crisis continuada en la identidad profesional de la arquitectura del paisaje. Este problema, de hecho, cuenta ya con una larga trayectoria que nos lleva hasta el punto en que Frederick Law Olmsted, uno de los creadores de Central Park, concibió la profesión. Partiendo de las intuiciones mostradas en publicaciones recientes, este artículo trata las dificultades que tuvo la American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), la primera organización oficial de paisajistas, para definir la arquitectura del paisaje como una profesión moderna. Para explorar esta idea se han consultado los documentos originales que la ASLA produjo desde el momento de su fundación hasta la mitad del siglo XX, almacenados en uno de los archivos históricos de la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos y que, hasta el momento, no han sido publicados en su mayor parte. Una lectura crítica de estos documentos muestra los conflictos y complicaciones que tuvo la sociedad para definir un ámbito profesional y un perfil concreto de cara al público.AbstractIn current times, several landscape theorists have noticed a persistent crisis in the professional identity of landscape architecture. Actually, this problem has a long history that can be traced back to when Frederick Law Olmsted, one of the creators of New York’s Central Park, conceived the profession. Following some of the ideas that recent publications have hinted at, in this paper we look into the difficulties that the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the first official organization of its kind, went through during the early attempts to define landscape architecture as a modern profession. To do this, we have consulted the original documents that the ASLA produced between its foundation and the middle of the 20th century. These are currently stored in the Library of Congress of the United States and some of them remain unpublished up until now. A critical reading of these records highlights the conflicts and complications in defining the field of landscape architecture and building a specific public profile.
Objeto de contradicción Aproximaciones al ready-made en la obra temprana de Robert Venturi, 1959-1968
Authors: Encabo Seguí Enrique , Esteban Maluenda Inmaculada
Published: March 2020

ResumenEste texto pretende analizar un aspecto concreto de la idea de “convención” en la obra de Robert Venturi: la incorporación del objeto cotidiano a la arquitectura en un contexto, el del Pop, en el que parece recuperarse, transformada, la dialéctica del ready-made duchampiano. Se propone así un doble ejercicio de análisis. En la aproximación propuesta se señalarán, en primer lugar, posibles intervenciones que a través de los objetos puedan entenderse como próximas al ready-made, junto a un estudio de posibles variantes en su utilización como recurso. En segunda instancia, se estudian distintos casos en los que el objeto deja de ser un elemento como tal dentro de la naturaleza de la obra para devenir, sin ambages, en su propio motivo formal: arquitectura como ready-made. Esta operativa condujo al estudio, como se analiza en el último apartado, a determinadas paradojas conceptuales.AbstractThis text aims to analyse a specific aspect of the idea of “convention” in the work of Robert Venturi: the inclusion of the everyday object into architecture, in the context of Pop culture, which would seem to re-establish the dialectics of the Duchampian ready-made, albeit transformed. A dual analysis exercise is undertaken. The proposed approach points at, firstly, those interventions by means of objects that may be understood as pertaining to the ready-made, together with a study of possible variants of use of said objects as a resource. In the second instance, different cases are studied in which the item ceases to be distinguishable element within the work, to become a full-blown formal motive on its own: ready-made architecture. This methodology led to the study, as analysed in the last section, of obvious conceptual paradoxes.

ResumenEn mayo de 1986, la revista inglesa Architectural Review, decidía dedicar un número monográfico a la arquitectura moderna española. El número, constituía la primera mención de estas características que aparecía en la publicación inglesa y sin duda era un signo de la relevancia e interés que la arquitectura española estaba alcanzado en el panorama internacional. El artífice de este número fue el arquitecto y crítico Peter Buchanan, que desempeñaba en ese momento el cargo de ‘deputy editor’ de la prestigiosa revista. Además de este fascículo monográfico, Buchanan publicó en Architectural Review, a lo largo de la década, varios artículos de interés sobre la arquitectura española, que contribuyeron a situarla en la palestra arquitectónica internacional. El presente texto se propone indagar en el origen del interés de Buchanan por España y en las claves que permiten comprender el relato que el crítico hace de la arquitectura moderna española.AbstractIn May 1986 the British journal Architectural Review devoted a special issue to modern Spanish architecture, the first ever on that topic in the journal’s history, constituting a clear sign of its relevance and of the international interest that it was awakening. Responsible for that issue was the architect and critic Peter Buchanan, then deputy director of the prestigious journal. In addition to it, throughout the 1980s Buchanan published several other articles about Spanish architecture in Architectural Review, thereby contributing to position it in the international scene. This paper traces the origins of Buchanan’s interest in Spain and identifies the keys for understanding his critical reading of modern Spanish architecture.
The Problem of Film Theatre Intermediality in Jesus of Montreal
Authors: Sava Laura
Published: March 2020

My paper resorts to the recently theorized notion of intermediality in order to examine the representation of theatre in Jesus of Montreal (Denys Arcand, 1989) Far from being a stopgap term called into being by the ever more numerous instances of border violation between media, intermediality comes with a prestigious pedigree. It is a member of the ‘inter’ family (alongside terms such as intertextuality and interdisciplinarity) and a descendant of a comparative approach which extends far back in time, encompassing genres such as the apology and the paragone. Despite the fact that in film studies intermediality is still to a certain extent impending, it is highly applicable to instances where film quotes or references another medium. A focus on intermediality in Jesus of Montreal authorizes questions such as: Which are the prioritized connection points between film and theatre? How is the relation of the two media formulated by Arcand? How does a filmmaker stage a theatrical event for a cinema audience? My paper seeks to demonstrate and exemplify the sophisticated nature of the film’s involvement with theatre. To this effect, I shall use ideas drawn from intermediality studies, narratology and drama theory in conjunction with close analysis of chosen sequences.

NeoLiberalism Unshaken: A Report from the Disaster Zone
Authors: Sears Cornelia , Wilcox Leonard , Johnston Jessica
Published: March 2020

Abstract: We report here on our experiences working, in a large university, in Christchurch, New Zealand in the wake of the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The state of emergency, our experiences suggest, produces the idealised condition of neoliberalism, expediting, operationalising and realising to perfection the modes and methods of neoliberal agendas—urgency, crisis, instability and “the bottom line.” At the University of Canterbury, which like so many universities elsewhere has been experiencing the processes of corporatisation and marketisation for the last two decades, neoliberalism, we argue, thrived within the disaster zone.

Ana Ma Manzanas and Jesús Benito, Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture
Authors: Dunn John Laurence
Published: March 2020

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture seeks to furnish contemporary American with the conceptual spatial paradigms described by the great theorists of the social structures of the everyday, Henri Lefebvre and Michel De Certeau. It does this with an eye on Jacques Ranciere’s more recent conclusion that politics is “best understood” in spatial and relational parameters, because “everything in politics turns on the distribution of space. What are these places? How do they function?,” and crucially for this volume, “Who can occupy them?”[p.5] These continental cornerstones are augmented by the work of British theorist Doreen Massey, from whom Manzanas and Benito borrow a formal analysis of dynamic spatial relations for a social geography of “the other” that is thoroughly narratological.
Lygia Clark and the Logics of Participation After 'Failed' Revolt
Authors: Carter Kristen
Published: March 2020

In the past decade numerous scholars have mediated on the political efficacy of a socially engaged, interactive art practice, tracing its histories in relation to debates concerning a perceived crisis in community and collective responsibility today. This essay explores these debates in relation to Lygia Clark’s Collective Body Series, which she developed while teaching at L’Université Paris-Sorbonne from 1972 to 1976. I argue that the conceptual and artistic frameworks that have been developed regarding participatory art practices alongside the trajectory of Clark’s work do not account for the complexity and radical potential inherent in the kind of collective bodies established in the work she produced between 1972 and 1976 in Paris. My primary focus with Clark concerns how the elaboration of collectivity in these interactive works, which she called propositions, can be brought to bear on a contentious and uncertain moment wherein the perceived promise of participation and collectivity ostensibly failed. That is, by situating her work within the immediate wake of May 1968, my analysis reconsiders what participation and collectivity could look like in the wake of ‘failed’ revolt.
The Sleep Standard: Analysing Modern Anxieties of Insomnia
Authors: Vernon Alice Mary
Published: March 2020

We are being increasingly exposed to ideas of perfect sleep in fiction and journalism. This paper explores the notion of a modern self-consciousness surrounding sleep and sleeplessness, and the ways in which this obsession creates a kind of performance anxiety when it comes to achieving sleep of a recommended quality. By analysing journal articles and fictional texts in which the importance of a sleep standard is emphasised, this paper discusses the various situations in which we can fail to sleep, or how sleep can fail us. It will first examine the pressures of performing for ideal rest by investing in and manipulating sleep. This paper will then observe the act of detaching ourselves from the force of sleep, mythologizing and externalising the experience. Finally, by analysing the presentation of insomnia in Jonathan Coe’s The House of Sleep (1997), this paper will suggest that erratic sleeping habits can sometimes be a necessary failure, and that the modern preoccupation with sleep is placing too much focus on an otherwise natural and unpredictable process.

Deconstructing an Evil Fakeness: Digital Media and Truth in Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler
Authors: Orlando Nicholas
Published: March 2020

Since 9/11, cries of self-implicating media failure within journalism have all but ceased in the digital, post-truth age. For some in the industry, the media failed to represent the 2001 terrorist attacks without sensationalizing the events. Then, in 2016 and among many left-leaning media, this discourse of failure persisted to condemn mass media for eschewing difficult questions and submitting to a celebrity obsession with now-President Donald Trump. However, on the political right, Trump himself moves to delegitimize most left-leaning or oppositional media outlet, claiming their reporting to be fake, thus popularizing his maxim “fake news” and linking the media’s failures to abstraction. Ironically, the president reveals the inherent fakeness of our most immediate mode of meaning-making and supplier of epistemological certainty, a revelation that beguiles the media yet proves productive for my paper. 

Within this mediasphere, I turn to Dan Gilroy’s film Nightcrawler (2014) as a self-reflexive and self-implicating critique of media fakeness by way of its preoccupation with digital media in our purportedly “post-truth” era. Nightcrawler, with its look toward the grotesque consequences of capitalism and the voyeuristic and amputative uses of the digital, explores contemporary anxieties toward mediation. That is, Gilroy’s film lays bare the material media, such as physical evidence, upon which the digital depends, thus grounding the digital during a moment of abstraction. In this way, Nightcrawler is an example of evil media, a term coined by Matthew Fuller and Andrew Goffey which reveals the apparently immaterial social relations upon which media, including both cinema and journalism, rely. Such a revelation underscores media’s repressed ontology of the fake, artificial, and abstract, while also calling for a reconsideration meaning-making through media. By looking back to Nightcrawler, I argue meaning-making should maintain a flexibility and openness in its mediation of truth in democracy.
Comparison of Different Fiber Coatings for Distributed Strain Measurement in Cementitious Matrices
Authors: Weisbrich Martin , Holschemacher Klaus , Bier Thomas
Published: March 2020

The distributed fiber optic strain measurement based on Rayleigh scattering has recently become increasingly popular in automotive or mechanical engineering for strain monitoring and in the construction industry, especially structural health monitoring. This technology enables the monitoring of strain along the entire fiber length. This article addresses integrating optical fibers of different coatings into the concrete matrix to measure the shrinkage deformations. However, previous studies do not give a clear statement about the strain transfer losses of fiber optic sensors in this application. In this context, three different coating types were investigated regarding their strain transfer. The fibers were integrated into fine-grained concrete prisms, and the shrinkage strain was compared with a precise dial gauge. The analysis shows a high correlation between the reference method and the fiber measurement, especially with the Ormocer coating. The used acrylate coating is also consistent in the middle area of the specimen but requires a certain strain introduction length to indicate the actual strain. The main result of this study is a recommendation for fiber coatings for shrinkage measurement in fine-grain concretes using the distributed fiber optic strain measurement. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of the measurement method are presented.
Father Verspieren and Mali Aqua Viva: Lessons Learned from Fighting Drought and Poverty with Photovoltaic Solar Energy in Africa
Authors: Pagliaro Mario
Published: March 2020

Almost fifty years after the first installations, I identify the main lessons learned from fighting drought and poverty in Africa with direct solar-powered pumps thanks to Father Bernard Verspieren and Mali Aqua Viva. Six main findings and three main recommendations emerge from the present analysis which are of direct relevance to all Africa’s countries whose population has gone from 438 million in 1977 to 1308 million in 2019, with about 600 million still having no access to electricity. In place of “awareness campaigns”, I recommend to organize practice-oriented workshops on solar-powered irrigation and rainwater harvesting held by professional educators of newly established solar energy national institutes. In agreement with today’s expanded approach to education in solar energy, and with the key adult learning principle of motivation to learn, said education will include the economic and social aspects of distributed “generation” of energy and water from sunlight and rainfall.
