Artificial Intelligence, Future Inequality, and Democracy
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Lee Ki-wan
Published: February 2023

This study analyzes the changes in employment structure and social stratum caused by theexpansion of human job replacement by artificial intelligence and the political influence ofthese changes on democracy. It analyzes how negative phenomena caused by artificialintelligence, namely, passive objectification of citizens, increased unemployment, andeconomic polarization, are related to the crisis of democracy. The findings of this study are as follows. The negative phenomenon caused by artificialintelligence is denying even the core value of democracy, such as political equality. Only a tinyfraction of the powers that dominate the platform monopolize economic wealth, and theartificial intelligence algorithms they manage and control dominate the decision-makingprocess. This study diagnoses the severe challenges artificial intelligence will pose: Civil sovereigntywill be weakened, the political representation will remain only in form and empty in content,and citizens will be excluded from political participation.
International Politics of Okinawa: A History of Geopolitics and Power Politics
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Lee Hochul
Published: February 2023

This study examines the history of international politics of Okinawa in terms of ‘geopolitical power politics’ in East Asia. Within this theoretical perspective, this study looks at the national destiny of the Rykyu Kingdom, the annexation of the Kingdom by the Meiji Japan, the imperial overextension of the Meiji Japan and its termination after the Battle of Okinawa, and Okinawa in terms of the US post-war East Asian strategy. Major findings of the analysis are as below. First, the national destiny of the Ryukyu Kingdom had been determined by the geopolitical power politics between China and Japan. Second, the Meiji Japan annexed the Kingdom as the power shift had been confirmed after the Taiwan Expedition in 1894. The annexation of the Ryukyu Kingdom marked the beginning of Japanese imperial expansion that was terminated at the Battle of Okinawa. Okinawa was the springboard for Japanese imperial expansion and also the last battlefield that terminated it. Third, Okinawa has been transformed into a key military base for the US post-war East Asian strategy. Finally, Geopolitical power politics proved to be a useful theoretical perspective in analyzing the history of international politics of Okinawa. If the Meiji Japan began its imperial intrusion into China by annexing the Ryukyu in late 19th century after the first power transition between China and Japan, the US now contains rising China by deploying Okinawa as a breakwater at the seas between the East China Sea and the Western Pacific after the second power transition between China and Japan.
International Comparison of Cyber Diplomacy: Comparative Analysis of Cyber Confidence Building Measures of OSCE and ARF
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Lee Sang-hyun
Published: February 2023

Confidence-building measures in cyberspace are drawing attention from the international community as a means to prevent unintentional cyber disputes between countries. In particular, regional security organizations that have accumulated considerable experience and know-how while carrying out regional confidence-building and preventive diplomacy activities for a long period of time have been playing an unrivaled role in the discovery and implementation of cyber CBMs specialized in the regional cyber security environment.
In this paper, a comparative review was attempted on the development status of cyber CBMs between OSCE and ARF. By comparing the cyber CBMs developed and implemented by OSCE and ARF, the types and details of cyber CBMs being attempted at the regional level were examined, and characteristics and limitations were derived.
U.S.-China relations and the diplomatic choices of South Korea and Japan
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Lee Kiwan
Published: February 2023

Recently, the U.S. and China have been pursuing a strong-to-strong confrontation without any concessions over the issues of human rights·freedom·democracy, issues of fair trade, issues of North Korea's denuclearization, and issues of hegemony in the South and East China Seas. This confrontation between the U.S. and China has a significant impact on the diplomatic choices of Korea and Japan, which are closely related to these countries in terms of politics, economy, and security, but there are subtle differences in trends and choices between Korea and Japan.
Accordingly, this study investigates the multi-layered aspects of the conflict between the U.S. and China and at the same time analyzes trends and influences on foreign policy decisions in Korea and Japan.
Development of the Neo Eurasianism and the Pathways of the Putin’s Regime
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Woo Pyung Kyun
Published: February 2023

Neo Eurasianism, which emerged from the 1980s, at the end of the Soviet Union, has spread in Russian society through several stages of development. On the other hand, the Putin’s regime, which was launched in 2000, has adopted the concept of neo Eurasianism in earnest since the 2010s, especially in the process of the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the civil war in eastern Ukraine, and the outbreak of the Ukraine war in February 2022. Putin has selectively used Eurasian ideas as his means of governance, emphasizing the same content as neo Eurasian claims, including Alexander Dugin, but he cannot identify himself with Eurasianists on various grounds, including power politics. The Ukraine war was also waged with enthusiastic support from neo Eurasianists, but it casts many dark sides on the path of the Putin’s regime. However, even after the Putin administration, the aftermath of the neo-Eurasian ideology and Russian nationalism is expected to continue for a considerable time.

Edmund Gosse's "Tristram Jones" (c. 1872), and the Legacy of the Maternal Portrait
Authors: Rees Kathy
Published: February 2023

Edmund Gosse broke the mould of nineteenth-century life writing with his study of family relationships, Father and Son (1907), a book now widely recognised as having made a crucial intervention in the transition from Victorian to modern forms of biography. Modern academic interest in Father and Son was first stimulated by the 1970s rise of auto/biographical studies, and the book has continued to attract attention from a wide range of disciplines. Father and Son has, however, never been approached through the lens of Gosse’s juvenilia. Amongst Gosse’s papers archived at Cambridge University Library is a manuscript entitled “Tristram Jones” (c. 1872). Written when he was twenty-two, it contains ideas and imagery that anticipate Father and Son, and both narratives, strikingly, conclude with a gesture of freedom. At the end of “Tristram Jones,” the eponymous protagonist celebrates having extricated himself from an incompatible engagement, and looks forward to the single-minded pursuit of an aesthetic career. Similarly, in Father and Son, Gosse rejects a parentally-determined life of Christian service to devote himself to a literary vocation. A shift from limitation to liberation thus structures both texts. Against this background, my focus in this essay is on Gosse’s importation into “Tristram Jones” of a chain of conflicting emotions and memories impelled by a material object, namely, a portrait of his mother, Emily, painted in 1831 when she was twenty-four. Gosse’s imaginative deployment of this portrait into his 1872 fiction has a powerfully unsettling impact, one which, as I shall show, he reintroduced four decades later into his 1912 Booklover’s edition of Father and Son.
Evaluation of Modified Asphalt Binder and Mixtures with Polyphosphoric Acid
Authors: Hilal Miami
Published: February 2023

Rutting is the most common distress that most Iraqi asphalt pavements suffer from it. Asphalt binders are modified by using additives and polymers to enhance their physical qualities and fulfill the performance demands. Polyphosphoric acid (PPA) has been used in many countries to enhance the physical and mechanical characteristics of asphalt binders and mixtures that can improve the performance of asphalt pavements. In this paper, evaluation of the Iraqi asphalt binder and mixtures performance by using three percentages of Polyphosphoric acid (PPA) (0.4, 0.8, and 1.2) percent by asphalt binder weight and added to (60-70) penetration grade asphalt binder to show the applicability and suitability of using PPA in asphalt pavement in Iraq. Original asphalt binder and modified are subjected to traditional tests which are penetration, ductility, softening point, and viscosity. Results show better performance and enhancement of the physical properties of the modified binder. Other tests are Marshall Stability and wheel track tests. The results of the addition of PPA to the asphalt mixture show increases in the Marshall Stability and enhance the performance of the asphalt pavement mixtures. The wheel track test is applied to the original and modified mixture at two test temperatures 40 ?C and 50 ?C and the results show a decrease in the rut depth when the percentages of PPA increase. It is concluded that %PPA addition will enhance the performance of the Iraqi asphalt pavement and the mixture will be more rutting resistant, especially in high-temperature weather.
INVASIVE CARCINOMA IN A FIBROADENOMA

Published: February 2023

Fibroepithelial lesions of the breast comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that range from benign to malignant. Breast cancer can arise within a benign tumor or the tumors can coexist independently. A 48-year-old woman presented with a structured palpable nodule in the breast for 2 years. In the course of the follow-up, a growth was noted where it was decided to perform a core biopsy resulting in a low-grade invasive cribriform carcinoma in fibroadenoma. Some treatments such as quadrantectomy with negative sentinel lymph node biopsy and free surgical margins, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were carried out at the time of follow-up using tamoxifen without complications. This case contemplates a rare association of two breast diseases and the value of the histological examination for the diagnosis of malignancy. Fibroadenomas are not normally considered a risk factor for carcinoma. In a review of the literature, an attack of a carcinoma evolving into a fibroadenoma ranged from 0.002% to 0.0125%. A carcinoma that occurs in a fibroadenoma can be considered a casual occurrence, once the epithelial component of a fibroadenoma is subjected to the same stimuli and triggers as the rest of the breast. Carcinoma may arise in adjacent breast tissue surrounding or infiltrating a fibroadenoma, or it may be entirely restricted to or, at least, predominantly, a fibroadenoma.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm among women worldwide. The advent of genetic studies and DNA microarrays and their proteins had made it possible to correlate the patterns of gene expression of each type of cancer in different women, associate them with other prognostic factors, and verify the clinical evolution and therapeutic response. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique is based on the detection of protein cellular constituents — antigens — and based on the identification and classification of specific cells in the tissue sample. Immunohistochemical panels have been traced to determine breast cancer subtypes, to reproduce gene expression profiles, which have specific treatments. Different molecular subtypes have been established associated with differences in survival and treatment. The four main types in clinical practice are luminal A, luminal B, HER2 overexpression, and triple negative. Objective: The aim of this study was to trace the epidemiological profile of the molecular subtypes of breast cancer in women treated at the Hospital Regional da Asa Norte-Brasília, DF. Methods: Cross-sectional, longitudinal, and retrospective study through the analysis of 138 electronic medical records stored on the TrakCare® platform of cases of women diagnosed with breast cancer, with known histological type, and who underwent IHC examination to determine the molecular subtype. The study included women who attended between January 2015 and December 2020, in the Mastology Department of Hospital Regional da Asa Norte (HRAN). Results: The most common molecular subtype was luminal B, with 65 of the total cases, equivalent to 47.1%. Luminal A subtype was the subtype of 41 cases, equivalent to 29% and being the second most observed subtype. Triple negative was recorded in 21 of the cases, corresponding to 15.2%. The least observed subtype was HER2 overexpression, with 11 cases and 7.9% of the cases. Two participants had local recurrence within less than 2 years of diagnosis, changing from luminal A to luminal B, and luminal B to luminal A. The mean age of the women in the study at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer was 51.5 years, with age extremes of 17 and 86 years. Conclusion: The most prevalent molecular subtype in this sample studied was luminal B, corroborating other studies carried out in the Brazilian population and diverging from the international literature, in which it is the luminal A subtype. Epidemiological knowledge can guide the elaboration of public policies to improve the quality of care, such as drug planning and neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments with the best results.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Breast reconstruction is a right guaranteed by the public health system to patients submitted for mastectomy. However, some epidemiological factors delay the performance of this procedure. Objectives: This study aims to understand the epidemiological profile and characteristics of women with breast cancer submitted for immediate or late breast reconstruction in a reference hospital in the state of Pernambuco. Methods: This retrospective, observational descriptive study analyzed 400 patients treated in a reference hospital for cancer treatment and breast reconstruction from 2010 to 2020. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and the clinical-surgical history of patients with breast carcinoma, later analyzed by the SPSS software, version 18, with percentages of the categories assessed by the χ2 test, considering a 5% significance level. The comparison of analyses was significant (p <0.005), showing that the profile described is the most frequent in the group of patients evaluated. Results: The sample consisted of 400 patients, obtained in a 10-year period, who underwent immediate or late breast reconstruction. Most of them had a mean age between 46 and 59 years (45.3%), were multiracial (61.1%), married (79.1%), with schooling up to high school (60.7%), were domestic workers (45%), nonsmokers (84.9%), and did not consume alcohol (94.9%). The ductal histological type represented 85% of our patients, and the clinical stages I and II were the most prevalent (69%). The molecular subtype luminal A was found in 60% of the sample, followed by luminal B in 16%, triple negative in 15%, and HER-2 in 9%; 70.3% of the patients underwent immediate reconstruction after mastectomy in our service. Conclusion: The findings suggest that patients with high educational levels are more prone to undergo immediate breast reconstruction. They also indicate that socioeconomic status significantly influences breast reconstruction rates after mastectomy, demonstrating a large increase in breast reconstruction in the public system.
PROBABILITY OF LOCAL RECURRENCE ESTIMATED BY A MODIFIED MSKCC DCIS NOMOGRAM IN PATIENTS WITH DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU TREATED WITH BREASTCONSERVING SURGERY: A NOVEL TOOL FOR RADIOTHERAPY DECISION-MAKING
Authors: Marques Larissa Cabral , Carvalho Heloísa , Carvalho Filomena Marino , Gonçalves Heloísa , Barros Alfredo Carlos Simões Dornelas de
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Radiation therapy (RT) plays an important role in the management of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, treated by breast-conserving surgery (BCS). RT significantly reduces the risk of local recurrences (LRs) in unselected patients. Efforts are being made, currently, to de-escalate the RT in this scenario with individualized decision-making. Several biomarkers were developed to predict the probability of LR and aid a tailored clinical decision. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the potential of a modified MSKCC DCIS nomogram to forecast LR after BCS for DCIS patients and assist physicians to recommend RT. Methods: Women with DCIS undergoing BCS, with clear surgical margins and external RT, were enrolled in the study. The MSKCC DCIS Nomogram was modified with the omission of the RT parameter. Patients were considered at high risk for LR when the 10-year probability of LR was >10%. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn and the areas under the curves (AUCs) of 10-year follow-up evaluation were calculated. Results: In all, 110 women were studied. Eight patients had LR (7.3%), five being invasives (62.5%) and three in situ (37.5%). LRs occurred in 6.2% and 12.7% of patients who were classified as high risk by the original and by the modified nomogram, respectively. The AUCs were compared. The modified MSKCC DCIS nomogram is warranted for the 10-year risk LR prediction, and it may reinforce RT indication. Conclusion: The modified MSKCC DCIS nomogram may identify patients with DCIS treated by BCS with a high probability of LR and, therefore, may individualize RT recommendation.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Breast cancer treatment has drastically changed in recent decades due to a better understanding of the biology of this disease as well as an increase in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Objective: We aimed to identify prognostic factors related to recurrence among patients with node-positive breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of node-positive breast cancer patients treated with NAC at our institution between 2010 and 2016. Clinicopathological variables (such as age, menopausal status, body mass index, tumor type, histological subtype, clinical and pathologic staging, immunohistochemical profile, type of surgical treatment, and pathologic response to NAC) and its association with axillary or systemic recurrences were investigated using the χ2 test. Results: A total of 131 patients were investigated with a mean age of 49 years. Most patients (36.6%) presented luminal B subtype, followed by 28.2% with triple negative and 20.6% with HER2 subtype. Lymphovascular invasion was observed in 42% of the sample, and the median initial breast tumor size was 35 mm. After NAC, 22.1% of the patients achieved a pathological complete response and tumor size was reduced to a median of 15 mm. Axillary recurrence was observed in 3.1% of the patients, while systemic recurrence occurred in 28.2% of the patients. None of the investigated clinicopathological variables were significantly associated with axillary recurrence. However, systemic recurrence was associated with poor response to NAC and the presence of lymphovascular invasion on pathology analysis. Conclusion: NAC response and lymphovascular invasion are important predictors of breast cancer systemic recurrence. Interestingly, histological subtypes were not associated with increased axillary or systemic recurrence rates.

Revitalizing interculturality in education: Chinese Minzu as a companion
Authors: Liu Yanqiong
Published: February 2023

Dervin and Yuan’s (2022) book Revitalizing interculturality in education: Chinese Minzu as a companion challenged the lack of diversity in the disciplinary field of Intercultural Communication Education (ICE) with a detailed exploration and discussion on Chinese Minzu and Minzu education from a “non-Western” approach. By utilizing a case study research design, the authors gave voices to the participants that provided detailed narratives of concepts and practices of Chinese Minzu education at Minzu University of China (MUC). The book explored how the notion of Minzu was deconstructed and prompted readers to reckon Minzu education as a “companion, complement, and alternative” to the knowledge of interculturality in education. It added value to the international scholarship on multicultural/intercultural education by offering insights to the views, theories, and practices of Minzu education.
Navigating the Unforeseen: Perceptions of Quality of Life While Working from Home in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Lee D’Abundo Michelle , Franco Paul , Deluca Deborah
Published: February 2023

Social distancing requirements resulted in many people working from home in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The topic of working from home was often discussed in the media and online during the pandemic, but little was known about how quality of life (QOL) and remote working interfaced. The purpose of this study was to describe QOL while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The novel topic, unique methodological approach of the General Online Qualitative Study (D’Abundo & Franco, 2022a), and the strategic Social Distancing Sampling (D’Abundo & Franco, 2022c) resulted in significant participation throughout the world (n = 709). The United States subset of participants (n = 169) is the focus of this article. This big qual (Brower et al., 2019), large qualitative study (n >100) included the principal investigator-developed open-ended, online questionnaire entitled the “Quality of Life Home Workplace Questionnaire (QOLHWQ),” and demographic questions. Data were collected from July to September 2020 (during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic). Data analysis included open coding and categorical analysis resulting in the categories of positive, negative, both positive and negative, and neutral experiences with QOL while working from home. More participants cited increased QOL due to having more free time, less stress, and less commuting to work. The most cited issue associated with negative QOL was social isolation. As the post-peak era of the COVID-19 pandemic continues and the potential for future public health emergencies requiring social distancing exists, the findings from this study provide an important baseline understanding of remote working in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. As working from home either full-time or part-time becomes more common, implications of this research are likely applicable beyond the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. To promote QOL and work-life balance for employees working remotely in the United States, stakeholders may want to develop social support networks and create effective planning initiatives to prevent social isolation and maximize the benefits of remote working experiences for both employees and organizations.

Po drugiej stronie słowa: granice języka, który nie jest granicą świata
Authors: Jasiński Bogusław
Published: February 2023

The presented text examines the limits and possibilities of the linguistic expression of the Inexpressible Being, i.e. Transcendence. The understanding of words, especially poetic ones, but also of all artistic forms, is conditioned by a specific system of language in which not only syntagmatic-declension relations are defined but also those that constitute the semantics itself. Meanwhile, on the example of Homeric poetry and the songs of Psalm 29, we examine how the word can be at the service of being. The author proves that such use of words not only disentangles them from the traditionally understood communication function but above all refers to the old oral traditions. He points to research on the origin of poetry in pre-literate cultures, where oral transmission was primary, and the poetic record was secondary - because it served only as a way of remembering the text and thus served a mnemonic function.
Isaac Jaquelot on the preeminence of physico-theology
Authors: Drozdek Adam
Published: February 2023

Isaac Jaquelot was a seventeenth-century ecclesiastic concerned about the rising tide of deism and atheism. In his theological treatises he wanted to prove, among others, the existence of God, the fact that God is a spiritual being, and that He created the world as described in the Tora. In his proofs, he relied very strongly on empirical approach and human rationality recognizing the limitation of the human reason. In this, he promoted physico-theology as the most viable approach to be used.
„Paraklet (…) przekona świat o grzechu, o sprawiedliwości i o sądzie”. Jana Pawła II pneumatologiczna hermeneutyka J 16, 7–8
Authors: Dudek-Kowalska Agnieszka
Published: February 2023

The multidimensional meaning of the triad: the sin, the justice and the judgement in the teaching of Pope John Paul II leads to the conclusion, that the Truth revealed in this way by the Holy Spirit is a vivid, dynamic and even personal reality and first of all it is targeted to the man and his salvation. The truth in the theological meaning shown by John Paul II has its source in the loving, saving will of God. In this meaning the truth is always on the side of man’s good. It is never against him. The Truth is the answer to the untruth, to the sin. It restores the justice. It sentences everything that doesn’t refer to the Truth.

The relationship between the presence of the Holy Spirit in the history of the world and the existence of the truth leads to the conclusion that the truth as such, the truth in the theological and philosophical meaning doesn’t depend on the man’s will. In the innermost layer its origin is divine. In the consequence the man does not decide about the existence of the truth and in the further consequence about the existence of the order of nature and things. However the man is liable for non-cognition of the truth and the lack of adoption of the truth. To adopt the truth in life one needs humility, needs to break the barriers of one’s egoism and to recognize one’s limitation. The truth is the base of human being and the human destination. The crisis existing around the truth is the crisis of the man in the deepest meaning. The lack of the relationship with the truth reduces the man to the materialistic level and the living contingency. The openness to the truth is the openness to God, who restored the justice in the creature by His Son Jesus Christ and made the judgement of the untruth.
Apophasis, Abnegation, and Liturgy
Authors: Fagerberg David W.
Published: February 2023

Apophatic theology is normally housed in the epistemological wing of the academy, and is treated as a via negativa that negates the assertion just made. This apophaticism feels like a wave that washes away every cataphatic sand castle we build.

In this essay, I would like to change the street address of apophaticism to the house of liturgy. There, apophatic theology is a liturgical reaction to the sovereignty of God. It is a posture of latria. However, such a liturgical posture depends, in turn, upon abnegation. The infinity of God (apophasis) reveals our nothingness (abnegation), and our nothingness makes us rejoice (liturgy) in God’s infinity. Worse than idolatry is worship of ourselves: auto-latria.

Apophatic theology is a liturgical reaction to the sovereignty of God, which, in turn, causes a state of abnegation, which I therefore call liturgical abnegation because it means forsaking autolatry.

Access to electricity is among the important targets in Rwanda as in other regions. The grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) prosumers market segment can contribute to the rate of access to electricity in Rwanda. Grid connected PV prosumers contribute in not only increasing electricity generation capacity but also producing affordable and reliable electrical energy. Therefore, the current research analyzes the possibilities of interconnection of small-scale prosumers with a national grid. In addition, the bidirectional flow of electricity either from prosumer grid and vice versa, aiming at monitoring the continuous power supply of the load is analyzed. The study is conducted in Ayabaraya village in Rwanda and the load profile for residential, commercial and industrial prosumers are analyzed. In this research, meteorological data from Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) up to 2016 is used to give global horizontal irradiation and ambient temperature. The amount of energy imported from and exported to the grid is determined by the connected appliances, the capacity of the PV system, and the amount of available irradiance at the time. The Home Energy Management System (HEMS), inverter control strategies, and prosumer load types are considered. The simulation reveals that available irradiance less than 30W/m2 at a time is below the grid-tie inverter's threshold power thus, the prosumer imports electricity from the grid. At irradiance larger than 30W/m2, the prosumer may optimize self-consumption and injects the surplus into grid.
Energy efficient cooling through natural ventilation in Kosovo

Published: February 2023

The buildings consume nearly 55% of global electricity. As people are forced to spend more time indoors after pandemic COVID 19, energy efficient, well ventilated, adequate indoor air quality became critical for their health. The household energy consumption is mostly for heating but also for cooling in Kosovo. Aiming to improve energy efficiency, a passive cooling strategy can be applied by using a natural ventilation as the most essential method. However, that requires an analysis of different factors such as positions and the sizes of the openings within one area, the specific period used for ventilation, and the external temperatures and conditions. In this work, the computer application Optivent 2 was used to analyze a generic airflow strategy and evaluate the decisions regarding the feasibility of cooling with natural ventilation for a single house in Kosovo during the warmest month of the year (i.e. August). The results prove that the natural ventilation during the day at the houses, which the areas have only one-sided openings, is effective only for fresh air flow but not sufficient for cooling purposes. When the openings are designed on the opposite walls of the rooms or areas, the conditions will enable that through cross ventilation, the area will be cooled at the same time, by achieving up to 90% of the accessibility limits of comfort, both during the day and nights, at different scenarios on the warmest summer months in Kosovo. These findings will help the architects of Kosovo to identify the proper and most effective passive designs strategy, when it comes to buildings cooling during the summer, in order to achieve the maximal benefit of their designs and the operation of their designed building.

Questioning Controlled Consumption in Publishing: Artistic Responses to Tracking, Control, and Access
Authors: Lorusso Silvio
Published: February 2023

This article focuses on a series of experimental publishing works, emerging from the field of art and design, that react to the augmented possibilities that editorial platforms in a broad sense (e.g. Amazon and Apple) have to control reception, limit access and track use. Furthermore, the projects in the discussion question the modifications of ownership around digital artefacts. These projects can be understood as “conversation pieces” that aim to provoke a debate around the issues they want to address. They have a strong communicative value, and as such highlight aspects of digital publishing rarely addressed by designers and publishers.

The Local Climate Contract
Authors: Claudia Coppola Maria , van der Veen Rosa , Trotto Ambra
Published: February 2023

This work explores how designerly practices drawing from embodied sensemaking, can foster actionable systemic perspectives that allow for co-response-ability in the formulation of a Climate City Contract in the city of Umeå, Sweden. The paper describes the design and facilitation process of 3 cross-disciplinary roundtable conversations that build on notions of thriving together, making kin and commoning. The main aim is to contribute to creating alternative collaborative practices that develop means to acknowledge the complexity of — and our entanglement with — systemic challenges. Such practices are necessary for addressing the mission-driven approach that the public sector in Europe is adopting. The outcomes of this research point toward three elements that might foster such an ability to respond together and propose ways for building resilient collaborative practices: (1) stimulating the emergence of situated knowledge to be shared and used, (2) creating legitimacy within the ecosystem through an embodied exploration of the systemic perspective, and (3) cultivating trans-disciplinary interconnectedness of actors through aesthetics.
Revising Biomimetics: Opportunities and Ambiguities in the Bioinspired Design Approach
Authors: Langella Carla , J. V. Arruda Amilton , Di Bartolo Carmelo
Published: February 2023

The paper aims to propose an overview of biomimetic design, exploring its features from a methodological and critical point of view, highlighting its potential but also its limits, ambiguities, risks, and obscurities. Critical interpretations of biomimetic design are presented through a method based on comparative literature review. This was filtered by several crucial questions aimed at highlighting the effectiveness and value of design approaches based on the observation and emulation of nature in our current historical period. Semantic choices, market impact, efficiency of methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical and environmental consequences are some of the issues analysed. These themes have been selected taking into consideration open and unresolved matters within the international state of the art, in order to trace possible evolutionary strategies for the biomimetic approach, relating it to the current social, economic, political and technological scenario.
On Designing Innovations: Relationships Between Creativity, Ecosystems and Cities
Authors: Visoná Paula , Rodrigues da Cunha Mágda , Kieling César
Published: February 2023

Increasingly, environments that propose other relationships between different agents existing/acting in the city and territories and the reconnection with the place will design solutions for a complex daily life. In this work, we intend to approach these elements from a specific creative ecosystem, Armazém da Criatividade (Warehouse of Creativity), and one of its proposals presented this year, the MMA Challenge (Fashion, Music and Art). We aim to explore the pertinence of the existence of environments such as the Armazém da Criatividade in terms of stimulating, provoking and, sometimes, inducing the new in the territories/cities where they are located, producing other effects of meaning in the agents involved as well, who are provoked — directly or indirectly — into actions and projects for these spaces. Based on this relationship, we will also address potential connections between stimulating local creative vocations and reverberating this in terms of positive impacts in different contemporary territories.
