The work presents a developed 3D model of a mobile robotic platform with an autonomous stabilization system for reconnaissance operations. Mobile robotic platforms have been found to be widely used in intelligence because they can help gather information from dangerous and hard-to-reach places and reduce the risk to the lives of intelligence personnel. Unmanned aerial vehicles and mobile robotic platforms with tracks are mainly used in reconnaissance. An important distinguishing quality of tracked mobile robots is their maneuverability. Having an independent drive for each of the tracks separately, the mobile robot can easily change the direction of its own movement. A study on shock loads (external influences on the system that can cause deformation, damage or destruction) of a mobile tracked platform with an autonomous stabilization system was conducted and the obtained results were described. The SOLIDWORKS software environment was used to model the design of the mobile platform. For numerical studies on impact loads, it is advisable to use linear elastic isotropic materials and bilinear Mises plastic materials. The results of the simulation of the movement of the mobile platform of the developed structure and the stresses in the collision with different speeds of 1, 5, 10, 25 m/s and the platform material carbon steel and rubber are presented. It was established that when a mobile platform collides with speeds of up to 25 m/s, the maximum stresses do not exceed 1.85 MPa, which gives a sufficient margin of strength in the event of impact loads for the selected material of the mobile platform. The use of steel inserts allows you to reduce the value of the maximum contact stresses under impact load, but increases the cost of the mobile platform, increases the total weight and, accordingly, reduces the operating time from the installed power batteries.

Determining kinetics parameters of bovine serum albumin-protected gold nanozymes toward different substrates
Authors: Hormozi Jangi Saeed Reza
Published: June 2023

The kinetics studies of the as-prepared BSA-gold nanozymes were performed by measuring their activity as a function of DAB or TMB (i.e., enzyme-substrate) concentrations. The kinetic parameter, Vmax and Km was then calculated by using Michaelis–Menten and the linear plot of Lineweaver–Burk for both substrates. the Vmax of DAB oxidation was found to be lower than that of the TMB oxidation which pointed to the fact that the catalytic efficiency of the as-prepared BSA-gold nanozymes toward TMB is significantly higher than their efficiency for the DAB. Besides, the Km value for DAB was found to be very higher than that for TMB. This difference can be related to the different reactivity of DAB and TMB. as well as their different oxidation mechanism.
Mathematics Is Physical
Authors: Wu Biao
Published: June 2023

The world of mathematics is often considered abstract, with its symbols, concepts, and topics appearing unrelated to physical objects. However, it is important to recognize that the development of mathematics is fundamentally influenced by a basic fact: mathematicians and computers are physical objects subject to the laws of physics. Through an analysis of the Turing machine, it becomes evident that Turing and his contemporaries overlooked a physical possibility: information carriers can be quantum systems. As a result, computing models like the Turing machine can only process classical information, limiting their computing power. Gödel's incompleteness theorem highlights the basic fact that mathematicians and computers are made up of finite numbers of atoms and molecules. They can only start with a finite number of axioms, use a finite number of symbols and deduction rules, and arrive at theorems with a finite number of steps. While the number of proofs may be infinite after including all future mathematicians and computers, they must still be enumerable. In contrast, the number of mathematical statements is uncountable, meaning that there will always be mathematical statements that cannot be proved true or false. Just as Landauer claimed that information is physical, mathematics is also physical, limited or empowered by the physical entities that carries it out or embodies it.
Enhancing Student Writing Skills: Leveraging Transfer Learning and Fine-tuned Language Models for Automated Essay Structure Recognition
Authors: Sani Sani Abdullahi
Published: June 2023

Writing skills are essential for academic and professional success. However, many students struggle to become proficient writers, highlighting the need for effective writing instruction and feedback methods. Automated Writing Evaluation (AWS) systems have emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges. This study proposes a model that utilizes fine-tuned language models to evaluate essay structure, specifically identifying key argumentative and rhetorical elements. The Longformer and Bigbird models were fine-tuned and evaluated for discourse classification. The results demonstrate that the Longformer model outperformed the Bigbird model, achieving an F1 score of 0.634 compared to 0.615. The Longformer model's ability to handle large data inputs without losing vital information contributed to its superior performance. Integrating machine learning models with AWE systems can enhance automated essay evaluation, providing valuable feedback to students. While positional encoding improves discourse classification, future research should focus on expanding data coverage across additional essay categories. This study highlights the significance of leveraging advanced NLP techniques to improve writing skills and lays the foundation for further advancements in automated essay evaluation systems.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mainly involves the respiratory system but can also affect the digestive system and cause several gastrointestinal manifestations. Acute pancreatitis has been reported as one of the rare presentations of COVID-19. This study aimed to systematically review case reports on COVID-19-associated acute pancreatitis.
METHODS. Publications were retrieved through a comprehensive search in four databases on October 1, 2021.
Eligible ones that demonstrated the potential association of acute pancreatitis and COVID-19 were included for data extraction.
RESULTS. After screening 855 citations, 82 articles containing 95 cases were included, and their data were extracted. The most common presentation was abdominal pain (88/95, 92.6%), followed by nausea/vomiting (61/95, 64.2%). Mortality was reported in 10.5% of cases. The initial presentation was acute pancreatitis, COVID-19, and concomitant in 32.6% (31/95), 48.4% (46/95), and 18.9% (18/95) of cases, respectively. Among the included cases, acute pancreatitis severity was associated with ICU admission, COVID-19 severity, and the outcome. Also, the initial presentation was associated with COVID-19 severity (P values ˂0.05).
CONCLUSIONS. Current evidence indicates that acute pancreatitis can present before, after, or concomitant with COVID-19. Appropriate investigations should be performed in cases with suspicious clinical presentations.
Longitudinal studies should address whether or not, there is a causative relationship between COVID-19 and acute pancreatitis.

Energy audit is very necessary to calculate the level of energy consumption of a building or buildings. The research includes the amount of energy consumption based on the initial energy audit and detailed energy audit as well as saving opportunities based on conditions in the field. Based on the initial energy audit, the value of the Energy Consumption Intensity (IKE) is 0.699 kWH/m2month, while in the detailed audit the IKE value is 0.935 kWH/m2month. Based on the results of a detailed energy audit, the lighting measurement of 325 lux still meets the requirements for a classroom with a standard between 250 lux to 500 lux.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing of Stainless Steel Pipe Welds
Authors: Birring Anmol , Williams James
Published: June 2023

Weld inspection of stainless steel pipes and pressure vessels is one of the most challenging and difficult inspections for ultrasonic testing. This is due to variations in grain structure and associated anisotropy. Anisotropy causes grain scattering and adversely affects propagation of sound waves. The effect is more telling for shear waves, which, in many cases, have almost no ability to penetrate the weld volume. Longitudinal waves are affected to a lesser degree by anisotropy and can be applied for such tests. Angle beam or refracted longitudinal waves are, therefore, the accepted method for stainless steel weld inspections.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Cook Gabrielle
Published: June 2023

This research project involves synthesizing cyanostilbenes and testing their anticancer properties in breast cancer cells. Breast cancer is a global issue, one that great improvement has been found in the last few decades, but also one that remains a large killer. The components of the cyanostilbene hybrids have all been shown to have anticancer properties on their own, and we would like to see if we can increase these properties by combining multiple into a single hybrid. Then these cyanostilbene compounds are tested on Her2+ human breast cancer cells. The goals is to assess whether or not the cyanostilbenes have any effect on breast cancer cells. This project encountered many difficulties and as a result did not have significant results, but did produce many solutions for the problems encountered which will aid future research.
Natural Products In Weed Control: Allyl-Isothiocyanate Effects On In Vitro Velvetleaf Seedling Growth And The Influence Of Mustard Seed Meal On Soil Bacterial Populations
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Shin Stanford
Published: June 2023

Past research has shown that alyl isothiocyanate (AICT) and its sister ITC compounds are effective alternatives to herbicides in reducing growth in weed seedlings. In this project the effects of mustard seed meal (MSM), a source of AITC, on plant-associated soil bacteria populations was assessed along with the effect of AITC on velvetleaf seed in vitro germination. Results show that MSM reduces bacterial levels in the soil. Velvetleaf seed germination was inbibited by micromolar levels of AITC. These results suggest that MSM has the potential to impact velvetleaf growth in the field as well as becoming a weed management tool.
Hispanic Hallyu: Comparing Boys Over Flowers Directed By Jeon Ki-Sang With Latino Telenovelas
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Huh Austin
Published: June 2023

The term hallyu, meaning Korean wave, was originally coined in the 1990s to describe the proliferation of South Korean popular culture throughout the world. This project focuses specifically on Hispanic populations within North and South America where--despite lack of geographical or cultural proximity to South Korea--Korean movies, dramas, and music have obtained widespread popularity. With respect to K-dramas, this project juxtaposes thematic elements between the K-drama Boys over Flowers directed by Jeon Ki-Sang and Latino telenovelas to determine if K-drama popularity can be ascribed to similarities in motifs between K-dramas and telenovelas.
Chelerythrine Chloride And Its Effects On Phonotactic Behavior In Female Crickets Acheta Domesticus
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Shin Haneul
Published: June 2023

Selective phonotaxis by female crickets has been shown to be variable. Mechanisms which underlie such behavioral variability are being studied. Juvenile Hormone III is a neuromodulator that has been shown to increase selectivity in phonotactic behavior of female crickets. In an attempt to further explore its effects on the behavioral responses of femaile crickets, experiments have been performed with chelerythrine cloride that is known to have an opposite effect of Juvenile Hormone III. Chelerythrine chloride, a potent protein kinase C blocker, has been hypothesized to block the effect of Juvenile Hormone III which acts through a protein kinase C pathway, leading to a reduced selectiveness in the female's behavioral response.
Fluorescence Analysis Of PAMAM Dendrimers
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Nam Ansel
Published: June 2023

Despite their lack of conjugation, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are intrinsically fluorescent, and this fluorescent is somewhat manipulable through altering the dendrimer's solvent. This level of fluorescence is dependent on a number of the dendrimer's qualities: the pH of the solvent, the mass percent concentration of the dendrimer in solvent, and the generation size of the dendrimer. In past studies, fluorescent intensity increased as generation size increased and pH decreased. Thus, this research project will attempt to replicate those results as well as further analyze the efficiency of fluorescence of PAMAM dendrimer in comparison to fluorescein.
Prep-HPLC Method Development to Isolate Potentially-Carcinogenic, Arginine-Based Heterocyclic Amines
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kim Victoria
Published: June 2023

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are carcinogenic molecules generated from the reaction of creatin(in)e and amino acids at high cooking temperatures in meat. Previous research has shown that replacing creatine with arginine leads to new, uncharacterized HCA molecules. This research entails implementing and optimizing the preparative HPLC analysis of extracts from multiple burnings of arginine with phenylalanine. Isolated fractions from the prep-HPLC analysis were further analyzed using the Ames test to identify mutagenic compounds. Prep-HPLC provides quality control to the burning process along with isolation of larger quantities of materials for further characterization and molecular structure identification.

The first part of the study involves identifying the risks of physical deterioration posed to the collection and then providing a proposal for the storage and display of these artifacts. Keeping the museum's means in mind, the storage plan emphasizes preventive conservation, focusing on minimizing risks wherever possible to keep damage from happening in the first place. The second part provides written interpretive material for the display that informs visitors of the textiles' geographic, physical, and cultural origins.
An Examination of Resilience over Time Between Men and Women in Psychological First Aid
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Edwards Leiali'i
Published: June 2023

Research has shown that Psychological First Aid (PFA) crisis intervention helps to promote resilience in individuals affected by traumatic events (Everly, 2012). This study examined differences in resilience levels between genders over time by comparing PFA with a Social Acknowledgment (control) condition. Using the Response to Stressful Events Scale (Johnson et al., 2011) to measure resilience, subject responses (N=41) were analyzed using a mixed between-within subjects ANOVA. Results indicated that there were no statistically significant main effects or interactions. These findings do not support the study's hypotheses that there would be a significant interaction between time and gender.
Humility in the Proverbs
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Rodriguez Jatniel
Published: June 2023

This project utilizes thematic and exegetical methods to develop a practical definition of humility in Proverbs that fits within the greatet framework of the book. four verses in Proverbs explicitly use words translated 'humility' in English (11:2; 15:3; 18:12; 22:4). The literary and theological connections between the Hebrew words in these four verses and the same Hebrew words in the rest of the Old Testament indicate that humility is multifaceted, consisting of both internal and external characteristics. The three themes demonstrated by humility include: an attitude of the heart, a physical state of affliction, and the lasting outcomes of humility.
In the House of God: Divine Authority and the Collectivity of Spiritual Experience in George Herbert's The Temple and Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Hwang Nicole
Published: June 2023

George Herbert's collection of poems, The Temple (1633), portrays a reciprocal relationship between the human and divine, suggesting that humans are to house the glory of God and abide in Him. He seeks to portray the soul's internal architecture, with an allusion to the human heart as God's dwelling place. He uses his poetry to explore this relationship to a coexisting God, and through the framework of human-as-temple, the theme of habitation becomes prominent in his work. In "Love (III)" from The Temple, Herbert illustrates this, showing that just as God dwells in our hearts, we also receive sustenance and restoration from Him. "Love bade me welcome," from Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs (1911), places "Love (III)" in conversation with a musical score. An interdisciplinary analysis of Herbert's poem and Vaughan Williams' song demonstrates how the musical composition enlarges Herbert's dyadic vision of communal spirituality. Through interpolation and scoring choices, Vaughan Williams depicts the individual's participation in a wider holy community, and adapts Herbert's representation of God to invoke the Trinity as a model for Christian society.

Data were collected from a convenience sample of 73 Black young adults 18-35 years of age. The survey instrument measured the students' argumentative approach and avoidance behavior in interpersonal relationships. There were three directional hypotheses, but the data collected did not prove or disprove them. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents had parents that were still married. The results showed there to be no significant difference in argumentativeness between the "together " and "strained" groups. Verbal and physical abuse however, was found to be more prevalent in the "strained" group.

Authors: Dorofeev M. L.
Published: June 2023

The problems of financial regulation of poverty and income inequality in Russia are widely discussed in the scientific literature. One of the important aspects in this area is efficiency assessment, which should be the basis for developing solutions that contribute to the growth of the Russian population welfare. This article develops a comprehensive methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the system of state financial regulation of poverty and income inequality In Russian regions on the basis of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method and regression analysis. The information base contains the indicators of socioeconomic development of Russian regions for the period from 2017 to 2021. The analysis algorithm of the technical efficiency of budget expenditures on social policy has been developed and tested. The research novelty is the application of the DEA method taking into account the theory of regulation of income inequality by F. Bourguignon. The paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the regions’ efficiency and identifies the determinants of the efficiency indicators: the size of the regional economy and the level of income per capita; the share of poor citizens in the region; indicators of regional demographic development (fertility, mortality), etc.
“Randomistas”: A new development economics
Authors: Kapeliushnikov R. I.
Published: June 2023

The paper explores a curious phenomenon in the modern economic science — the intellectual confrontation between proponents of new development economics (“randomistas”) and its opponents. The general message of the new approach is that the technique of randomized controlled trials/experiments (RCT) must be considered the only truly scientific method, and only this technique should be used in studying the problems of developing countries. RCTs have been recognized as the “gold standard” in evaluating the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs; today this approach absolutely dominates in development economics. The paper discusses the main features of the RCT economics: an inclination to imitate biomedical research; atheoretical character; the idea of a hierarchy of methods; reorientation from large-scale macroeconomic and institutional reforms to targeted social and humanitarian interventions. The problems of internal and external validity of RCT are highlighted. A general conclusion is that conceptually counter-arguments of critics look more convincing: the idea of a hierarchy of methods is unscientific; no methodological “gold standard” exists in economic analysis; estimates obtained on the basis of RCT cannot be considered unbiased; RCTs are almost powerless in the face of the problem of external validity; policy recommendations derived from RCTs are of very limited practical value. However, the logic of critics has been trumped by the rhetoric of randomistas: most likely, randomized experiments will escalate, and their intellectual and political influence will grow.
ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ МЕСЕНДЖЕРІВ ЯК НОВОЇ ФОРМИ ЗМІ В КОНТЕКСТІ РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ВІЙНИ
Authors: СТРЕЛЬБИЦЬКА Лілія , ГРИНЬ Максим
Published: June 2023

У статті аналізуються особливості використання месенджерів за цільовим призначенням засобів масової інформації. Оскільки месенджери мають всі характерні для засобів масової інформації ознаки, проте не підпадають під правову регламентацію, як окремі і автономні елементи інформаційного простору. Фактично, правове регулювання месенджерів як таких, що містять ознаки засобів масової інформації – не відбувається. Натомість, реальний вплив месенджерів та соціальних медіа є доволі високим. Це виражається в їх здатності поширення інформації, яка може як позитивно, так і негативно впливати на суспільство і державу. Важливого значення набуває використання месенджерів та соціальних медіа в ході організації інформаційно-психологічних операцій. Ворог активно використовує месенджери та соціальні медіа для поширення пропаганди, дезінформації та інформаційно-психологічних спеціальних операцій. Така діяльність спрямовується на дестабілізацію українського суспільства, дискредитацію української влади, погіршення репутації України на міжнародному рівні, тощо. Ця тенденція позначає вразливість державної безпеки та правової системи перед новітніми загрозами в інформаційній сфері. Особливо чітко дана проблематика актуалізувалася у ході повномасштабного вторгнення російської федерації до України, адже саме месенджери та соціальні медіа мали стати основним інструментом інформаційної агресії та поширювати паніку всередині українського суспільства. Врегулювання діяльності соціальних медіа та месенджерів є одним з найбільш важливих напрямків вдосконалення інформаційного законодавства на сучасному етапі розвитку правової системи України. Воно здатне оптимізувати використання месенджерів та соціальних медіа та мінімізувати можливості використання інформаційних ресурсів для нанесення шкоди українському суспільству та державі. Отже, стає очевидним необхідність врегулювання діяльності новітніх засобів інформаційної комунікації та їх важливість не лише у сталих процесах розвитку держави, але і в контексті українсько-російської війни.
КОГНІТИВНА ВІЙНА РОСІЇ ПРОТИ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: СТРЕЛЬБИЦЬКИЙ Микола , ГРИНЬ Максим
Published: June 2023

У статті аналізуються особливості виникнення і реалізації концепції когнітивної війни росії проти України. Держава-агресор використовує низку способів та методів ведення інформаційної війни, що виражається у проведенні інформаційної агресії, історико-культурної експансії та когнітивному викривленні реальності. Об’єктом військового впливу є український народ, суспільство та держава. Але, якщо протидія інформаційній агресії та експансії є очевидною необхідністю, то когнітивний аспект інформаційної війни зрідка згадується у наукових роботах та повністю відсутній в чинному законодавстві. Це є серйозною стратегічною проблемою для української держави, адже такі види пропаганди як дезінформація, інформаційно-психологічні операції чи диверсії є інструментом лише тактичного рівня або, за окремих умов, тільки відволікаючим фактором. Найбільш акцентований удар стратегічного спрямування ворог завдає в когнітивній площині, де він здатен впливати на систему моделювання мислення. Це стосується умов ментального розвитку суспільства, його біхевіорістичних моделей та формування контролю за пізнавальними процесами. Когнітивний аспект інформаційної війни, здебільшого, реалізується через поширення наративів у середовищі масової культури, науки і розважального контенту. Нездатність суспільства розрізняти відверту пропаганду від прихованої – відображає високий рівень ефективності останньої. Вплив на моделі мислення є ключовим елементом стратегії інформаційної війни російської федерації, адже дозволяє створити фундамент для будь-яких інших видів агресії, включаючи збройну, економічну чи політичну. Вираження когнітивного аспекту інформаційної війни відбувається через побудову конкретних алгоритмів мислення, звʼязків причин і наслідків, умов взаємодії стимулів та реакцій. Зазначається, як російська федерація намагається моделювати поведінку і алгоритми мислення всередині українського суспільства. Також, пропонується вдосконалення механізмів протидії інформаційно-когнітивним загрозам за рахунок впровадження нового нормативно-правового акту.

Objective: To determine the levels of S-RBD antibodies in premenopausal and postmenopausal women who received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Methods: This study involved 21 premenopausal and postmenopausal women who received two doses of CoronaVac at 28 days intervals. The duration of vaccination was 4-24 weeks. This study was conducted on May–October 2021 in Kendari City, Indonesia. Blood samples were taken at a health care facility and examined at the Prodia Clinical Laboratory. Participants were healthy women, willing to participate, and signed informed consent. Participants were excluded if they had a history of COVID-19, had taken antibiotics or immunomodulators in the last 24 hours, had a history of acute/chronic inflammatory disease and malignancy, were traumatized and received monoclonal antibody therapy.

Results: Participants were 52.95±7.61 years old. The duration of the second vaccination was 13.67±5.26 weeks. The lowest level of S-RBD antibody was menopause with vaccination duration <=12 weeks (185.59±112.34 U/mL), and the highest was premenopause with vaccination duration >12 weeks (257.5±3.54 U/mL). The S-RBD antibody level in premenopausal women was higher than in menopausal women at the duration of vaccination <=12 weeks  (223.37±63.45 vs 185.59±112.34 U/mL) and >12 weeks (257.5±3.54 vs. 225.55±91.14 U/mL). There was no significant difference in S-RBD antibody levels between two or more groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion: S-RBD antibody levels in postmenopausal women after receiving two doses of COVID-19 vaccine were lower than in premenopausal women, but the difference was not significant. S-RBD antibody levels in postmenopausal women increased with increasing duration of vaccine administration.

Keywords: menopause, immune response, COVID-19 vaccine, S-RBD antibody

Abstract

Objective: To determine the association between anxiety level and premature rupture of membrane incidence during COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This study was a case-control study. The subjects of this study were patients giving birth at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital and UNS Sukoharjo Hospital in June - October 2021. Sampling was done by the purposive sampling technique on 70 samples. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression test.

Results: Characteristic data of the study samples found that most of the study samples was severe anxiety (40%). There was a significant association between the level of anxiety with PROM incident (p = 0.00), and pregnant women with severe anxiety had a risk of PROM of 3.761 times compared to pregnant women who were not anxious (OR=3.761). In multivariate analysis, it was found that the most influential variable on the incidence of premature rupture of membranes was the level of anxiety (p=0.001) compared to parity (p=0.155), employment status (0.193), and education level (0.576).

Conclusion: There was a significant association between anxiety level and premature rupture of membranes incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes in pregnant women with severe anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keywords: anxiety level; premature rupture of membrane; COVID-19 pandemic.

Визначено, що безпека залежить від політичних, соціально-демографічних, науково-технічних, економічних, природно-географічних та екологічних факторів. Обгрунтовано структуру екологічних факторів, які впливають на забезпечення безпеки, а саме: величина природно-ресурсного і асиміляційного потенціалів територій та ступінь їх використання, антропогенне навантаження на навколишнє природне середовище та рівень екологізації господарського комплексу. Встановлено, що глобалізація є процесом глибокого та інтенсивного розвитку економіки, політики, соціальної сфери, що розгортається на міжнародному рівні під впливом різноманітних світових процесів (рух товарів та послуг на міжнародному рівні, фактори виробництва, розвиток інноваційних ресурсів, інтернаціональність виробничих галузей економіки, транснаціоналізація, інфраструктурний розвиток, стратегічний менеджмент) та інституцій (інституції лібералізації товарів, інституції регулювання економіки, політики та соціальної сфери), метою якого є ефективна трансформація та посилення впливу глобальних рушійних сил на збалансований розвиток окремих країн.
«ПЕРЕСТУПИ МЕЖУ ОТОРОПІННЯ…» : КОНОТАТИВНИЙ ТОНУС ТВОРІВ МИТЦІВ-ІНОФОНІВ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ НОВЕЛ АГОТИ КРІСТОФ)

У контексті революційного характеру змін у загальнонауковій парадигмі сучасної філологічної думки та пов’язаною з цим проблемою пізнання у всіх видах дискурсу конкретного історичного періоду автори аналізують творчість сучасної швейцарської франкомовної письменниці Аготи Крістоф, яка є своєрідним віддзеркаленням нової епохи – креатологічної або культурно-творчої епохи, що позначена одночасним існуванням кількох, «голографічно вкладених». У фокусі дослідницької уваги перебувають художні тексти як специфічна форма організації мовленнєвої діяльності, тому мета цієї статті полягає у висвітленні результатів аналізу авторських концептів, що здатні «випромінювати» конотативні пучки, презентуючи ідентичність митця, котрий, прийнявши іншу, чужу культуру й мову, побудував у своїх творах інтенсіональний, можливий світ семантики. Йдеться про складність і водночас цінність визначення ідіостилю, характеру творення художнього факту автором, котрий свій внутрішній світ думок і почуттів, зв’язок «найбуденнішого із закономірностями руху всесвітнього» транслює не рідною, а іншою мовою. Акцентується важливість вивчення текстів-творів, у яких такі компоненти, як тропи, лексико-семантичні та логіко-синтаксичні конструкції, породжені носієм іншої ментальності, і саме доробок Аготи Крістоф дозволяє злити дослідження мови та літератури під єдиним кутом зору – семіотичним. Наголошується важливість розуміння, що реальність глобалізованого світу вимагає паритету сторін у творчому кроскультурному діалозі, який ґрунтується на комунікативній здібності, адже в ній відображаються мовні навички та способи символічного вербального вираження. Підсумовується, що специфіка літературних творів мистецтва – у відбитті етнокультурної самоідентифікації творчої особистості, у координації кроскультурних відмінностей у діалоговій формі, результатом якої є формування відкритого літературно-культурно-комунікативного простору, що постає як «діалог текстів», створюючи нові значення/розуміння та когнітивні зв’язки, генеруючи творчі тенденції, які ведуть до зміни конотативного тонусу сьогодення.
Complexity in Postmigrant Narratives of I-Docs
Authors: Weber Thomas
Published: June 2023

What epistemological potential do participatory organized web documentaries offer in comparison to 'conventional' documentaries? Does a closer analysis reveal differences between different participatory approaches? And what role does the construction of complexity play in terms of emancipatory effects?
These are the initial questions of my contribution which deals with an epistemology of participatory web documentaries in relation to the construction of complex knowledge worlds. It starts with a theoretical deconstruction of different notions of participation and their application in web documentaries. In doing so, the constructed frames of reference and narratives, the functioning of the developed self-designs as well as the negotiation processes of design are also examined with respect to their epistemological potential. Still, the concept of participation calls for differentiation and clarification in general and its use in individual cases; all too often the term "participation" has been used vaguely and turned into an umbrella term under which medial interactivity and participation, social and political participation, and cultural perception and recognition are conflated. It is precisely the equation of media participation with social and political participation that seems problematic here.
From the perspective of a critique of dividuation inspired by Gilles Deleuze and presented for example by Michaela Ott, participation seems to make sense only if it critically reflects the passivization imposed by digital communication and the entanglement of individuals in a complex network of social, cultural, and technological references – hence also normalized, stereotypical patterns of perception and cognition. Ultimately, this requires an examination of antagonistic, polyphonic, multi-perspectival and multi-media, thus also media self-reflexive forms of expression on different levels, which must be negotiated in their interplay. In short, this requires an examination of the medial construction of relational forms of complexity, which is the prerequisite for participation to have an emancipatory effect at all.
The paper will fathom this theoretical context by an analysis of paradigmatically selected participatory web documentaries, examining different forms of complexity with regard to their epistemological and emancipatory potential. Thus, I will argue for a methodological shift of perspective that leads from an analysis of works to an analysis of their processuality. This – in the end, makes it necessary to recognize that it is also a question of how the various notions of participation – ranging from strategies of voice-giving realized in web-documentaries to dimensions of engaged listening – can contribute in their own respect to the development of polyphonic, multifaceted perspectives and make doing documentary a medium for negotiating positions and a means for self-empowerment of the stakeholders involved in these processes.
Reframing Refugee Characters
Authors: Moura Hudson
Published: June 2023

By allowing viewers to interact with stories, interactive films have revolutionized how viewers engage with social issues and events. The emergence of immersive technologies and interactive storytelling has transformed traditional storytelling forms and methods. These technological advances have rendered interactive storytelling more complex by challenging users to reexamine understandings of the mediated world. Consequently, basic media literacy skills are necessary to benefit from these projects dealing with refugees stories.

Although interactive storytelling creates new forms of social engagement, the question about which social issues or subjects are most effectively addressed through interactive narratives remains. How do refugee stories and discourses contribute to interactive engagement? This essay analyzes a series of interactive projects focusing on refugees' storytelling, politics, and aesthetics in order to examine their socio-political engagement and their unique attributes. Refugee stories hold a strong emotional appeal, positioning them as ideal for interactive narratives. How do unique refugee experiences of displacement and disarray engage creators and viewers/users/players?

This essay argues that refugee storytelling interactivity contributes significantly to viewers' engagement with social issues and characters. While creating empathy and responsibility, these projects allow users to connect with people far removed from their own lived experiences. Characters with well-known and reliable stories make users feel closer in the position of moral concern to their situation and can instigate political accountability for their future. In interactive narratives, refugee characters redefine agency and storytelling. They offer the ability to recreate history, engender a change in the world, or revise a topic with a sense of justice toward dependable and trustworthy characters.
