Authors: Perea Fabián
Published: April 2022

A través de un ejercicio narratológico establecido por medio de la lectura de Beloved y Medea, se busca comprender los mecanismos que conforman la tragedia como género literario, para analizar de qué manera la ficción podría constituir un recurso de reparación simbólica de la agencia de comunidades sistemáticamente marginadas, en virtud del uso de la venganza como dispositivo de reivindicación.
Romera Castillo, José. Calas en el teatro español del sigio XXI. Salobreña (Granada): Alhulia / Mirto Academia, 2020, 156pp
Authors: Coello Gutiérrez Emiliano
Published: April 2022

El texto que sigue es una reseña acerca de un libro de reciente aparición del profesor José Romera Castillo sobre la dramaturgia española del presente siglo, articulado en cuatro partes y un epílogo. En la primera parte, “El caudaloso río teatral en el siglo XXI y algunos afluentes”, el autor trata de los principales centros de investigación sobre teatro español actual y habla de la importancia de la presencia creciente de las mujeres en el ámbito teatral. La segunda parte gira en torno a la importancia de lo (auto)biográfico en la escena española de hoy; la tercera parte se ocupa de la dramaturgia metateatral, y la cuarta, en la irrupción de dramaturgos jóvenes en la escena española de los últimos años. En el epílogo, “Dos apostillas lorquianas”, Romera Castillo cierra con un homenaje al gran dramaturgo granadino, cuyo teatro no ha perdido vigencia. Por su complejidad semántica y formal, el teatro lorquiano se presta a interesantísimos experimentos interartísticos.
The Narrator (Author) and the Hero in T. Shevchenko’s Poem The Funeral Feast •
Authors: Filon Mykola , Shekhovtsova Tatiana
Published: April 2022

The study deals with the images of the narrator / author and the prophet – the lyrical character in T. Shevchenko’s poem The Funeral Feast [Tryzna]. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the author’s conception and to reveal the whole range of the ways of expressing the author’s “self ”.

In this poem, the lyrical subject is variable. He functions as the author proper as well as the narrating author and the lyrical “I”, sometimes getting the features of the lyrical character. At the same time, the narrator and the character have in common the motif of prophetical service, prophetical mission.

The sense structure of the image of the prophet presents in Shevchenko’s poem a synthesis of traditional and original senses. Shevchenko combines the social with the philosophic and the ethical, the universal artistic with the individual ontological. A prophet is not just an artistic image but also a modus of social existence of the writer in his ambition through his works to promote God’s laws of society and personality on the earth as a continuation of life itself.

Instead of abstract philosophic speculations and complete negation, the poet creates a special modus of his view of life and attitude towards people. This modus is love; however, it is not love in a simplified, trivial and commonplace meaning but in a deeper, religious-ontological comprehensive sense.

The Funeral Feast appears to have the main elements of the motif-symbolic complex of romantic literature: the estrangement of the hero longing for heavenly harmony, prayerful yearning for the heaven he keeps memories of, selectness, loneliness, and orphanhood in earthly captivity, the motifs of the lost heaven, of death as rest and death as meeting. The hero is represented as a creative personality that finds itself in a tragic contradiction with the world.

One of the significant semantic oppositions is that of the word and silence. In Shevchenko’s poem, this problem is considered in terms of a transition from silent act to action word. The work on The Funeral Feast actually reveals the insolvability of the contradiction between the prophet’s two guises (“the meek prophet” – “the severe prophet”), thus forming a complex dualistic image.

In Shevchenko’s creative development, The Funeral Feast was an important step in comprehending the theme of the poet and his prophetic vocation, it marks a significant stage of the author’s spiritual and creative establishment. The poet in his higher mission is understood in the poem as a personality of a national and supernational, seraphic scale, which determines his role and place in society and in the world. The lyrical-epic nature of the genre made it possible to refer the self-expression of the author’s lyrical “I” to the objectification and personification of the lyrical character. The lyrical subject includes various forms of expressing the author’s consciousness, while the hero conceptualizes the perfect model of a creative personality in his / her prophetic essence.
First records of Loxopholis southi (Ruthven & Gaige, 1924) (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae) in the Cordillera Oriental of the Colombian Andes
Authors: Bernal-Hernández Hugo , Montañez-Méndez Alejandro , Bernal Manuel Hernando
Published: April 2022

We present the first records of Loxopholis southi (Ruthven & Gaige, 1924) from the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental in Colombia. This species had previously only been known from the biogeographic regions of Chocó and Magdalena River valley in the Cordillera Occidental and Central Colombia, and from Central America. This record expands the distribution of L. southi to the Andean mountains of the Cordillera Oriental, crossing the Magdalena River valley. It now constitutes the easternmost known occurrence in Colombia and the highest altitudinal record for this species.
DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF GROUP DECISION SYNTHESIS FOR STRUCTURING THE ROUGH DATA AND EXPERT KNOWLEDGE
Authors: Kovalenko I. I. , Shved A. V. , Davydenko Ye. O.
Published: April 2022

Context. The problem of aggregating the decision table attributes values formed out of group expert assessments as the classification problem was solved in the context of structurally rough set notation. The object of study is the process of the mathematical models synthesis for structuring and managing the expert knowledge that are formed and processed under incompleteness and inaccuracy (roughness).

Objective. The goal of the work is to develop a set of mathematical models for group expert assessments structuring for classification inaccuracy problem solving.

Method. A set of mathematical models for structuring the group expert assessments based on the methods of the theory of evidence has been proposed. This techniques allow to correctly manipulate the initial data formed under vagueness, imperfection, and inconsistency (conflict). The problems of synthesis of group decisions has been examined for two cases: taking into account decision table existing data, only, and involving additional information, i.e. subjective expert assessments, in the process of the aggregation of the experts’ judgments.

Results. The outcomes gained can become a foundation for the methodology allowing to classify the groups of expert assessments with using the rough sets theory. This make it possible to form the structures modeling the relationship between the classification attributes of the evaluated objects, the values of which are formed out of the individual expert assessments and their belonging to the certain classes.

Conclusions. Models and methods of the synthesis of group decisions in context of structuring decision table data have been further developed. Three main tasks of structuring decision table data gained through the expert survey has been considered: the aggregation of expert judgments of the values of the decision attributes in the context of modeling of the relationship between the universe element and certain class; the aggregation of expert judgments of the values of the condition attributes; the synthesis of a group decision regarding the belonging of an object to a certain class, provided that the values of the condition attributes are also formed through the expert survey. The proposed techniques of structuring group expert assessments are the theoretical foundation for the synthesis of information technologies for the solution of the problems of the statistical and intellectual (classification, clustering, ranking and aggregation) data analysis in order to prepare the information and make the reasonable and effective decisions under incompleteness, uncertainty, inconsistency, inaccuracy and their possible combination
SOLVING POISSON EQUATION WITH CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: Kuzmych V. A. , Novotarskyi M. A. , Nesterenko O. B.
Published: April 2022

Context. The Poisson equation is the one of fundamental differential equations, which used to simulate complex physical processes, such as fluid motion, heat transfer problems, electrodynamics, etc. Existing methods for solving boundary value problems based on the Poisson equation require an increase in computational time to achieve high accuracy. The proposed method allows solving the boundary value problem with significant acceleration under the condition of acceptable loss of accuracy.

Objective. The aim of our work is to develop artificial neural network architecture for solving a boundary value problem based on the Poisson equation with arbitrary Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions.

Method. The method of solving boundary value problems based on the Poisson equation using convolutional neural network is proposed. The network architecture, structure of input and output data are developed. In addition, the method of training dataset generation is described.

Results. The performance of the developed artificial neural network is compared with the performance of the numerical finite difference method for solving the boundary value problem. The results showed an acceleration of the computational speed in x10–700 times depending on the number of sampling nodes.

Conclusions. The proposed method significantly accelerated speed of solving a boundary value problem based on the Poisson equation in comparison with the numerical method. In addition, the developed approach to the design of neural network architecture allows to improve the proposed method to achieve higher accuracy in modeling the process of pressure distribution in areas of arbitrary size.

Authors: Alves Ana Luíza Costa , Paula Jonas Jardim de , Miranda Débora Marques de , Romano-Silva Marco Aurélio
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and inflexible behaviors/interests. To quantify ASD traits in adults with preserved intelligence, the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was developed, which is a self-report instrument and one of the most used and recommended tools. Objectives: We aimed to present a descriptive analysis of the AQ in a sample of Brazilian adults with neurotypical development (n=385) and investigate how the scale performs in a clinical subsample (n=33). Methods: We recruited 1,024 participants. They answered the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20), AQ, and about their psychiatric record. Then, we selected 385 participants without any psychiatric diagnosis to describe the distribution of the ASD traits. To investigate the AQ performance, we evaluated 33 adults with ASD and 19 adults with neurotypical development from the total sample (n=1,024). Results: ASD traits were normally distributed in the population, with high internal consistency. Of a total of 91 men, volunteers with 32 points (clinical cutoff point) or more scored higher than 93% of the control sample. Of a total of 294 women, those who got a clinical score on the scale scored higher than 97%. In the clinical subsample (n=33), the positive predictive value (PPV) of the AQ was 0.84, and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 0.7. Conclusions: The study population has a different profile compared to the original study regarding the AQ scale. ASD traits were normally distributed in the neurotypical sample, and the scale seems to have a satisfactory performance to predict ASD. Future studies are required to adequate the use of the scale in the Brazilian population.
A volta dos mortos vivos: apresentando a paleontologia em museus paulistas
Authors: CROCIARI BIANCA BONICIO , LANDIM MARIA ISABEL
Published: April 2022

RESUMO Este estudo realizou uma análise comparativa das estruturas narrativas apresentadas em doze exposições diferentes que abordam temas paleontológicos em museus do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de registros fotográficos. Os parâmetros da análise foram: temáticas das exposições; utilização de iconografia paleontológica e seus diversos tipos; uso de outros recursos expográficos; e o percurso expositivo. Os resultados mostraram que a temática usada com maior frequência foi a Assembleia Fossilífera, indicando uma possível correlação com o grande número de museus municipais organizados em torno de achados locais. Dentre as formas de iconografia paleontológica, a paleontografia, categoria que compreende todas as formas de representação visual de hipóteses paleontológicas a respeito da anatomia, da biologia e da ecologia de organismos, foi a mais utilizada, sendo apresentada predominantemente em segundo nível narrativo como suporte para uma informação prioritária. Dentre os recursos textuais, os mais empregados foram as legendas descritivas, oferecendo informações diretas sobre os objetos. Observou-se ainda que a maioria das exposições não determinou um percurso a ser seguido pelos visitantes, adotando uma abordagem não estruturada. Os achados sugerem que existe espaço para avanços na comunicação com os visitantes e que a análise estrutural apresentada pode ser útil na tomada de decisões por parte dos curadores. Este estudo representa a mais abrangente caracterização de narrativas paleontológicas e serve de base tanto para análises comparativas com outras exposições quanto para estudos sobre a percepção dos visitantes.

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of sowing depth and inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens on germination, emergence, shoot and root growth of Urochloa brizantha . A completely randomized design was used, in a 6 × 2 factorial arrangement, with 12 repetitions. The following sowing depths (SD) were evaluated: 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 cm; and the seed inoculation with P . fluorescens (I): with and without. Evaluations were carried out 25 days after plant emergence. No effects of the PS × I or I interaction were observed for all variables evaluated (P> 0.05). The germination and emergence percentages decreased linearly (P <0.05) as the SD increased. No plant emergence was observed at and at 12 cm depth. The morphometric characteristics of the plants (height, number of leaves, length of root and leaf blade width) decreased linearly with the increase of SD (P <0.05). Dry matter production of the aerial part and root were not affected by SD (P> 0.05). However, an effect was observed on the shoot:root ratio, where plants sown more superficially had a greater relationship. The inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens in the seed, has no effect on the initial growth of Marandu grass. On the other hand, greater sowing depths affects negatively the initial growth.
Escaping the Clinic: Exposure as Care among Military Medical Professionals at War
Authors: Chua Jocelyn Lim
Published: April 2022

This article examines exposure in the mobile reach of care in war in order to theorise exposure as care. It does so from the margins, focusing on US military medical professionals of the officer class in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, who feel distanced from the ‘real’ war experience represented by the infantry soldier, and thus engage in practices of exposure to gain the ‘trust’ and ‘respect’ of their soldier-patients. To grasp something of the promise and perils of exposure and its everyday enactments, I analyse one army physician assistant’s accounts of secretly stealing away on combat missions and the use of an ambulation tool called ‘the walkabout’ by the military mental healthcare community. The material, operational, and tactical settings of counterinsurgency and the professional cultures of military care occupations dynamically intersect to engender specific contexts for, opportunities within, and risks associated with exposure among military elite. An examination of exposure reveals that military medical professionals recast the hegemonic authority of proximity to soldiering in terms of the ethical norms and professional values of medicine: in a word, as care.
Seeing Green: Plants, Pests, Pathogens, People and Pharmaceuticalisation in Thai Mandarin Orchards
Authors: Urapeepathanapong Thitima , Hutchison Coll De Lima , Chuengsatiansup Komatra
Published: April 2022

Medical professionals’ and policymakers’ fear of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has largely been directed toward antibiotic use in medicine and animal agriculture. In Thailand, however, the use of antibiotics in citrus orchards has raised some concern over their ‘appropriateness’ and there have been calls for reduction—if not complete cessation—of their usage. We explore the emergence of antibiotic use for citrus greening disease (CGD) as part of shifting assemblages of plants, pests, pathogens, and people, as well as of varying climates, technologies, and farming practices. We suggest that rather than being a threat coming from outside orchards, CGD pathogenicity repeatedly emerges from within, and in Thailand appears to have increased alongside, the intensification of agricultural practices. We document how, when antibiotics emerged in the mid-20th century, their ‘pharmaceutical efficacy’ was insufficient to trigger their widespread adoption. Rather, the pharmaceuticalisation of orchards continues to be entangled with the expansion and intensification of mandarin agriculture, and also with the affordability of antibiotics, dissemination of relevant knowledge, and availability of equipment for their injection. Current proposals to reduce antibiotic use risk not taking sufficiently seriously the importance of their role in sustaining intensive orchard practices—and profits.
Social Distancing, Interaction, and (Un)crowded Public Space in Mass Transit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Earl Catherine
Published: April 2022

Vietnam’s national response to the COVID-19 pandemic is informed by its past experiences of fighting endemic disease. This response involves an emerging biosocial paradigm of long-term adaptation to living with the co-presence of viral infections. Moving beyond traditional anthropological work, this article issues an invitation to (re)think crowds and COVID-19. I offer a path forward by engaging in an interdisciplinary dialogue, drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources to understand this unfolding problematic. Through the lens of its public transport service Saigon Bus and environmental protests, I examine how the 2020–21 ‘pandemic season’ (mùa dịch) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest city, has transformed consciousness about crowds, ways of being in (un)crowded public spaces, and the regulation of networked public space. In doing so, this article explores existing and emerging shifts in policymaking and transformations of urban Vietnamese social relations, in the context of the emerging biosocial paradigm. The article contributes to medical anthropology by analysing the impact of pandemic prevention policies on the transformation of crowds—from being viewed as anti-state assemblies requiring social control into a form of pro-state participatory citizenship, exemplified by public engagement with networked activist communities in a ‘more-than-human’ world.
Per capita water consumption for benchmarked South African service levels derived by means of explicit reasoning
Authors: HE Jacobs  , ML Crouch  , A Ilemobade  , JL du Plessis
Published: April 2022

Per capita water use is commonly employed in single-parameter models to estimate water demand, especially in regions where model input parameters are limited. Research has confirmed that the serviced population and household size positively correlate with water consumption, but the per capita consumption of household members decreases with increased household size. A central issue driving this study was the lack of an up-to-date per capita household water use guideline in the South African context. This study followed a process of explicit reasoning and inference, informed by an extensive knowledge review, stakeholder input and interrogation of relevant data, to develop a novel per capita water use estimation tool. Five main parameters were included, namely: (i) level of water service provided, (ii) usage scenario, (iii) household size (people per household), (iv) geographic region, and (v) regional property value. A Microsoft Excel–based tool was developed and is supplied online as supplementary material with this publication. The litres per capita per day tool (LCD-tool) allows for robust per capita water use estimates, as a function of the above five input parameters. The Microsoft Excel LCD-tool provides benchmarks for different South African conditions, described by context-specific service levels. The planning and management of water supply and distribution systems could benefit from the findings of this study.

The regenerative potential of cardiomyocytes in adult mammals is limited. Previous studies reported that cardiomyocyte proliferation is suppressed by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The role of liver kinase B1 (LKB1), as the major upstream kinase for AMPK, on cardiomyocyte proliferation is unclear. In this study, we found that the LKB1 levels rapidly increased after birth. With loss- and gain-of-function study, our data demonstrated that LKB1 levels negatively correlate with cardiomyocyte proliferation. We next identified Yes-associated protein (YAP) as the downstream effector of LKB1 using high-throughput RNA sequencing. Our results also demonstrated that AMPK plays an essential role in Lkb1 knockdown-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation. Importantly, deactivated AMPK abolished the LKB1-mediated regulation of YAP nuclear translocation and cardiomyocyte proliferation. Thus, our findings suggested the role of LKB1-AMPK-YAP axis during cardiomyocyte proliferation, which could be used as a potential target for inducing cardiac regeneration after injury.

Meskûn Mahal Çatışmaları ve İstihbarat: Irak Savaşı Bağlamında Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ÇITAK Emre
Published: April 2022

Günümüzdeki savaş anlayışı içerisindeki en önemli başlıklardan birini mekânsal dönüşüm oluşturmaktadır. İnsanlığın kadim mücadelesinin çıktısı olan savaşlar, giderek geleneksel savaş sahasından farklı alanlara yayılmaktadır ve meskûn mahal de artan şekilde savaşın popüler sahnesi haline gelmektedir. Şüphesiz meskûn mahal çatışmaları için köklü bir tarihsel arka plan çizmek mümkündür; ama devletler arası savaşın, iç savaşın ve terörizmle mücadelenin yerleşim yerlerine yüksek yoğunlukta sıçraması süreci daha çok günümüzde tecrübe edilmektedir. Özel çatışma stratejilerinin ve tekniklerinin gerekli olduğu meskûn mahalde, istihbarat faaliyetleri de geleneksel kimliğinin ötesinde bir çerçevede ele alınmaktadır. Meskûn mahalin fiziki ve beşeri özellikleri ile karşı tarafın durumu bu alandaki istihbarat faaliyetlerinin hedefini oluşturmaktadır. 2003 yılında başlayan Irak Savaşı, yeni meskûn mahal çatışmalarının en çarpıcı örneklerinden birini ifade etmektedir. Söz konusu savaşta çatışmalar uzun süre yerleşim yerlerinde devam etmiş ve koalisyon güçleri bu mücadeleye uyum sağlayabilmek için ciddi derecede sıkıntılı bir süreç geçirmişlerdir. Savaş sırasındaki istihbarat faaliyetleri de bu sahadaki belirsizliğin kaldırılması için mücadele içindeki mücadeleyi oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle, savaşın meskûn mahal boyutu ve bu kapsamdaki istihbarat faaliyetlerinin rolü ele alınacaktır. Ardından bu konu, Irak Savaşı örneği üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Çalışma ile Türkçe literatürde yeterince yer bulmamış meskûn mahal çatışmaları üzerine genel bir çerçeve çizilmesi ve bu çatışmalardaki istihbarat gereksiniminin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
Terörizm Amaçlı Yeni Medya Kullanımı, Stratejisi ve Taktikleri: Alternatif, Radikal ve Taktiksel Medya Pratikleri

Published: April 2022

İletişim çalışmalarında medya kullanımı konusu pozitivist yaklaşımlarca kişilerin, eleştirel yaklaşımlarca egemen grupların medya kullanımı açısından incelenmektedir. 1990’larda devletin, sıradan insanların, terör örgütlerinin ve medya pratiklerinin yer edindiği internette kültürel öğeler üzerinden ilerleyen enformasyon savaşının stratejisi ve taktikleri, eleştirel medya modellerine de eleştirel bir bakış açısı getirilmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir. 1970’lerde yükselişe geçen kültürel çalışmalar paradigmasının bir sonucu olan; alternatif, radikal ve taktiksel medya pratiklerinin yeni iletişim ortamlarını kullanımına eleştirel şekilde yaklaşan çalışma sayısı yok denecek kadar azdır. 1990’larda birçok sosyal yapı gibi dijitalleşen, kültürü radikal siyasal değişim için araçsallaştıran bu medya pratikleri, 1970’lerin yeni sol hareketlerinin bir uzantısıdır. Yeni sol teorisyenlerinin ve terör gruplarının politik bağlamda mevcut hiyerarşik düzeni yıkmak fikrinde uzlaşıda olması, medya pratikleri açısından da benzer bir stratejiyi paylaşabileceklerine işaret etmektedir. Strateji taktiklerin ustalıkla kullanılması sanatıdır. Yeni solun medya pratiklerinin medyayı taktiksel kullanımını ve terör propagandasının iletişim taktiklerini karşılaştırmalı inceleyen çalışmada, terör amaçlı medya kullanım stratejisi tanımlanacaktır.

Authors: BAYKAL Muhammet Melikşah , TURGAN Erdem
Published: April 2022

This study investigates the effects of foreign direct investments (FDI) on the export and gross domestic product (GDP) in the original fragile five countries for the period 1990-2017. For the sake of the analysis, annual data is used and two econometric models are utilized to determine the stationary of variables, their long-term relationship, regression coefficients, and causality relationship between variables. The regression results indicate that a 1% rise in FDI stock increases exports by 0.06% where a 1% rise in imports increases exports by 0.81%. On the other hand, a 1% growth in FDI increases GDP by 0.12% where a 1% rise in exports, increase GDP by 0.79%. The causality test results show that there is a bidirectional relationship between FDI and Imports and GDP, unidirectional relationship from FDI to exports, and bidirectional relationship between GDP and exports.

Several medications are approved to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Korea including nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, remdesivir, and regdanvimab. There is potential drug-drug interaction between antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and the medications used to treat COVID-19. Several AEDs such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone are strong cytochrome P450 inducers and can inhibit the drugs used for COVID-19. Particularly, these drugs are contraindicated with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid®). There is a weaker drug-drug interaction between the AEDs and remdesivir. No significant interaction has been reported between the AEDs and molnupiravir. Pharmacokinetic interactions of the AEDs are important in effective management of COVID-19 in patients with epilepsy.
Convolutional Integro-Differential Equations in Banach Spaces With a Noetherian Operator in the Main Part
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Falaleev Mikhail V.
Published: April 2022

An initial-value problem for an integro-differential equation of convolution type with a finite index operator for the higher order derivative in Banach spaces is considered. The equations under consideration model the evolution of the processes with "memory" when the current state of the system is influenced not only by the entire history of observations but also by the factors that have formed it and that remain relevant to the current moment of observation. Solutions are constructed in the class of generalized functions with a left bounded support with the use of the theory of fundamental operator functions of degenerate integro-differential operators in Banach spaces. A fundamental operator function that corresponds to the equation under consideration is constructed. Using this function the generalized solution is restored. The relationship between the generalized solution and the classical solution of the original initial-value problem is studied. Two examples of initial-boundary value problems for the integro-differential equations with partial derivatives are considered

Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) pericarp is an agriculture waste in the production of white pepper. It is underutilised agro-industrial waste which could be a promising natural source of cellulose. Hence, finding an optimum way to remove the non cellulose components without degrading the cellulose structure is essential. In this work, the effects of alkaline concentration (4, 5, and 6% NaOH) and number of soaking cycle (3 & 4 cycles) on the characteristics of cellulose from pepper pericarp were investigated. The obtained cellulose powder was characterized for its yield, α-cellulose content, particle size, zeta potential, morphology, whiteness index, crystallinity degree and thermal stability. The white powder cellulose after 4th cycle treatment with 4% NaOH appeared to have the highest yield (23.63%), α-cellulose (65.97%), crystallinity structure (51%) and better thermal stability at 334 °C. FTIR spectrum at band around 1732 cm-1 indicates a partial removal of non-cellulosic material at all alkalization condition due to the presence of remaining lignin and hemicellulose. These may contribute to formation of negative surface charge on all cellulose samples which may potentially enhance the functionality of the material as emulsifier. Based on two-way ANOVA test, concentration and cycle of alkaline treatment significantly (p<0.05) influenced the yield, particle size and zeta potential, meanwhile α-cellulose significantly influence by NaOH concentration only (p<0.05). The findings showed that manipulating the synthesis condition of cellulose powder influenced its properties which could be further used in various applications.

URL: https://zkm.de/en/from-xenakiss-upic-to-graphic-notation-today UPIC (Unité Polyagogique Informatique CEMAMu) или («Компьютерный Полигогический Блок CEMAMu») — это компьютеризированный инструмент музыкальной композиции, разработанный композитором Яннисом Ксенакисом (1922–2001), физически являющийся цифровым планшетом, связанным с компьютером, имеющим векторный дисплей и осуществлявший перевод визуальности в форме рисунка в музыкальные композиции. Впоследствии им было предпринято несколько попыток воспроизведения системы UPIC с использованием программной аппаратуры Iannix, HighC, UPISketch. Ценность его как музыкального инструмента превосходит его историческое значение, поскольку UPIC является источником системы графических обозначений, которую сегодня трудно отделить от современной музыки. Настоящая публикация, представляя собой перевод научной статьи, продолжает его новаторскую историю. UPIC представлен как революционное устройство для создания акустической, музыкальной и графической композиции; как музыкальная машина, позволяющая генерировать звуки непосредственно через графические структуры. Автор статьи обращается к генезису этого уникального вычислительного инструмента и прослеживает его техническое, социальное, институциональное и образовательное значение вплоть до практики современных композиторов, которые работают с идеей UPIC в текущих компьютерных программах. В статье также прослеживается использование UPIC в настоящее время в качестве педагогического инструмента — от младших классов до мастер-классов по композиции.
Образовательные техники научно-фантастических романов на примере произведения Лю Цысиня «Задача трех тел»

В статье исследуются образовательные техники научно-фантастических романов на примере первой части трилогии «Воспоминания о прошлом Земли» китайского автора Лю Цысиня — «Задача трех тел». Автор постулирует тезис о том, что научно-фантастическое произведение способно оказывать образовательное воздействие на читателя с помощью техник двух уровней. На поверхностном уровне читателю демонстрируется фантастический феномен, что провоцирует адаптационные механизмы психики на принятие ирреального. Далее в перспективном рассмотрении влияния восприятия фантастического на поведение человека выясняется, что оно способствует снижению страха будущего. На глубинном уровне встреча читателя с фантастическим позиционируется как встреча с не-сущим, которое после прохождения поверхностного уровня (адаптации), принимается психикой и выступает в роли Другого. Позиция такого Другого позволяет читателю повысить уровень рефлексивности из-за постоянного сравнения сюжета книги и реальности.
Community-Building on Bilibili: The Social Impact of Danmu Comments
Authors: Wang Rui
Published: April 2022

Danmu commenting is a new feature of the streaming industry, popular in East Asia. Danmu comments are displayed as streams of comments superimposed on video screens and synchronised to the specific playback time at which the users sent them, moving horizontally from right to left. Interestingly, users do not have options such as “replies” to structure their comments; their interactions commonly include poor addressivity, hidden authorship, and unmarked sending time. The ways in which users actually interact with each other and, more importantly, the implications of such danmu-enabled social interactions on building virtual communities are so far understudied. Through a case study centred on Bilibili, a leading Chinese danmu platform, this article argues that in spite of their visually chaotic manner, the social interactive patterns of danmu commenters contribute to community building. Under the theoretical framework of “sense of virtual community,” the study adopts a data-driven methodology to qualitatively analyse such fragmented data. Results show that Bilibili users have discovered various ways to initiate social contact with each other through the creative use of linguistic and semiotic resources. Their ritualised performance in the Bilibili community is centred around the social aims of danmu comments, danmu clusters, and danmu language, all of which strengthen their sense of virtual community on the dimensions of membership, influence, and immersion. This article contributes to the research on this emerging media phenomenon by illustrating a new mode of watching and engaging in a participatory online community of practice that this platform encourages.
Gamifying Decision Support Systems to Promote Inclusive and Engaged Urban Resilience Planning

Urban residents are often unevenly vulnerable to extreme weather and climate events due to socio-economic factors and insufficient greenspace. This can be amplified if citizens are not meaningfully consulted in the planning and design decisions, with changes to greenspace having detrimental impacts on local communities, e.g., through green gentrification. These deficiencies can be addressed through inclusive landscape-level collaborative planning and design processes, where residents are fully engaged in the co-creation of urban greenspaces. A promising way to support co-creation efforts is gamifying technology-based interactive decision support systems (DSSs). Gamification, the incorporation of video game elements or play into non-game contexts, has previously been used for DSSs in urban planning and to inform the public about the impacts of climate change. However, this has yet to combine informational goals with design-play functionality in the redesign of urban greenspaces. We conducted a review of state-of-the-art video game DSSs used for urban planning engagement and climate education. Here, we propose that gamified DSSs should incorporate educational elements about climate change alongside the interactive and engaging elements of urban planning games, particularly for real-world scenarios. This cross-disciplinary approach can facilitate improved community engagement in greenspace planning, informing design and management strategies to ensure multiple benefits for people and the environment in climate-vulnerable cities.

The Role of Judicial Rulemaking in Improving Legislative Regulation in the Russian Federation
Authors: Chunina M. S.
Published: April 2022

The problem of determining the meaning, place and role of judicial rulemaking in the domestic legal system has remained relevant for many years. There is no uniform approach to the issue of establishing the influence of judicial rulemaking on legislation. Based on the analysis of various points of view of legal theorists and judicial practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the author defines the concept of judicial rulemaking and direct and indirect impact of rulemaking of higher judicial instances on the legislative regulation. The paper examines the acts of judicial rulemaking containing a direct instruction to the legislative body concerning the need to amend the current regulatory framework and the acts that do not contain such an instruction, but regulating a certain sphere of public relations and eliminating defects in legislation. The author concludes that judicial rulemaking influences legislative regulation permanently, contributing to its harmonization, ensuring uniformity of understanding and application of legal norms, stability and unity of judicial practice. The practice of the higher courts is examined as an essential factor in improving legislation in general, as a basis for new legislative initiatives. It is pointed out that it is necessary to take into account acts of judicial rulemaking in developing draft laws, as well as to return the institute of addresses of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Further development of the national system of law, according to the author, is possible only with the establishment of a balance between rule-making activity of legislative and judicial bodies, as well as with the establishment of mechanisms for interaction between the two branches of government.
