Introdução

A migrânea afeta em torno de 14,4% da população mundial. Caracteriza-se por episódios de dor pulsátil, unilateral e duração média de 4 a 72 horas com intensidade moderada a forte. Pode ser classificada em episódica ou crônica, com ou sem aura e pode estar associada a náuseas, vômitos, fonofobia e fotofobia. A fisiopatologia tem junção com ativação das fibras trigeminais e inflamação neurogênica, contudo precisa ser mais detalhada.

Objetivos

Avaliar a influência da variante -1082 G>A (rs1800896) e –819/-592 (rs 1800872) da IL-10 e seu efeito sobre a suscetibilidade e características clínicas da migrânea.

Building a Social and Academic Online Bridge to Quantitatively-Rich College Coursework
Authors: Eblen-Zayas Melissa , Winton Lin
Published: February 2022

We describe the online summer portion of a quantitative skills bridge program focused on helping students prepare socially and academically for the transition to college. College students are increasingly asked to employ quantitative skills across the curriculum, but students arrive at college with varied preparation. Further, those with the least preparation often encounter other challenges to social belongingness and navigating their institution. In response to these needs, our institution developed a bridge program aimed at students with a broad range of interests -- not just STEM, and the program has a significant focus on community-building as well as strengthening quantitative skills. The six-week summer online portion is followed by a face-to-face fall portion. Here we describe key design aspects of the online portion of the program: program goals and structure, selection and demographics of participants, and resources required to run the program. In addition, we share lessons learned that may be relevant for other institutions considering such a quantitative skills bridge program.

Authors: Niu Linyuan , Liu Liqin , Tian Jinjun , Chen Wei , Zhang Chunxiao , Lan Xinqiang
Published: February 2022

Introduction

At least 60% of cases of severe hearing loss result from genetic factors. In this study genetic screening was carried out for common genetic deafness in women of childbearing age to prevent deafness and birth defects via providing genetic counseling and follow-up services for high-risk families.

Material and methods

In total 60,391 pre-pregnancy/early-gestation women who received treatment in second-level or above hospitals in Weihai from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected. Venous or peripheral blood was collected to make dried blood slices on filter paper to extract genomic DNA, and high-throughput sequencing was applied to detect 20 variant sites in 4 common deafness genes (GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 and mitochondrial 12S rRNA) in the Chinese population. The spouses of women with deafness gene variants were sequenced.

Results

In total 3,761 carriers with deafness gene variants were detected in 60,391 women of childbearing age, with a carrier rate of 6.2%. Among them, 1,739 women (2.88%) only carried GJB2 pathogenic variants. The carrying rate of c.235delC in GJB2 pathogenic variants was the highest at 2.08%. 1,553 women (2.58%) only carried SLC26A4 pathogenic variants. The carrying rate of c.919-2A>G in SLC26A4 pathogenic variants was the highest at 1.63%. 300 women (0.5%) only carried GJB3 variants, and 125 women (0.2%) carried the mitochondrial drug-sensitive gene variant.

Conclusions

This screening model will greatly reduce the birth rate of children with hearing disabilities and is an effective way to prevent newborn deafness. In addition, genetic screening provided the related knowledge of hereditary deafness, especially strengthening genetic counseling and the clinical decision making from the genetic screening.
Influencers’ Promoted Posts and Stories On Instagram: Do They Matter?
Authors: López-Barceló Ainhoa , López Manuela
Published: February 2022

Since the advent of the Internet, word of mouth (WOM) has been integrated into the online channel, with users writing their opinions and reading reviews from other members. Currently, WOM has been growing and developing on social network sites, including Instagram. The figure of influencer has emerged as especially prominent on this particular social media platform. Brands have become aware of the importance of influencers and contact them to publish brand content to their profiles. This has become a new marketing strategy in which companies can reach greater numbers of consumers and exert a significant influence on them. Against this background, the current research analyzes how brand posts and stories by influencers on Instagram affect consumers, depending on the format used (post vs. story) and whether the content is promoted. A 2x2 experimental study is conducted with 573 participants. Results show that the content published by influencers affects consumers’ purchase intention differently depending on the format, wherein stories are more persuasive than posts. However, we find that indicating that the publication is promoted has no impact on consumers.
¿Es el crecimiento la locomotora de nuestra economía?
Authors: Ibisate Francisco Javier
Published: February 2022

Para la teoría de la globalización, el crecimiento constituye el principal parámetro de la salud económica, pero éste, por sí solo, no conforma la locomotora de la economía. Durante 20 años se han enfrentado, al menos, seis enfermedades económicas inmanentes al crecimiento, es decir, fenómenos mundiales que son consecuencias de pasados comportamientos globales. Entre ellos, el crecimiento frenado con alza de precios (estanflación); el deterioro ecológico; la exclusión del trabajo (crecimiento con desempleo); la desigualdad dentro del crecimiento mundial; la falta de integración de todos los sectores productivos, y la inversión especulativa por la privatización de servicios públicos y en el mercado del capital financiero. Por tanto, es prioritario que quienes integran la demanda y la oferta deficientes, elaboren propuestas económicas que enfaticen medidas concretas con miras hacia la integración sectorial.

El pago a las empresas privadas en El Salvador por la prestación de servicios públicos
Authors: Magaña Álvaro
Published: February 2022

Este artículo constituye un análisis respecto a la prestación del servicio público. Parte desde su misma definición, sus funciones, el sistema jurídico en que se ampara, el cuestionamiento sobre si continúa siendo servicio público aun cuando sea prestado por particulares, las tarifas en concepto de pago, si pueden ser objeto de lucro, las consecuencias de las políticas neoliberales en este rubro, etc. Con base en este estudio se establece que el Estado presta los servicios públicos de acuerdo con un criterio de rentabilidad, el cual no es sustitutivo de interés general. El Estado debe regular y vigilar los servicios públicos prestados por empresas privadas y aprobar sus tarifas, porque la economía de un país se debe ajustar a las necesidades sociales, por tanto, el Estado debe instrumentar a la economía para beneficio de la generalidad.

Positive or negative x-axis rotation of the innominate as a cause of a functional leg length inequality
Authors:   , Peers Anthony Victor
Published: February 2022

The objective of this research was to determine whether there was any reasonable biomechanical evidence to support the chiropractic theory that a positive (anterior) or negative (posterior) x-axis rotation of the innominate bone, could result in a significant functional leg length inequality. This theory was advocated by winterstein J.F. 1991, Gatterman M.I. 1990 and Herbst R.W. (undated) ~ The object was achieved by clamping six fresh cadaveric pelves in a specially designed instrument which measured the positive (anterior) and negative (posterior) x-axis rotation of the innominate via the sacroiliac joint and the symphysis pubis, the forces involved, and the associated y-axis translation, zaxis translation and x-axis rotation of the roof of the acetabulum. The extra-capsular iliac tubercle was used as the axis of rotation due to easy palpation and identification of this point. Some authors placed the axis at this point, or at a point very close to this area, ( Bakland o. et al. 1984; Weisle H. 1955; Bernard T.N. et al. 1991; Bellamy N. et al. 1983) . The results were tabulated, and thereafter a Pearson's moment correlation coefficient was done to show the linearity of the results. Graphs were then drawn to depict this linearity graphically. Finally a mean of the differences for each set of results of each cadaver was done to show how the results of each cadaver compared. The results showed that a positive (anterior) and a negative (posterior) x-axis rotation of the innominate caused a functional lengthening and shortening of the lower limb respectively. These findings concur with those of winterstein J.F. 1991, Gatterman M.I. 1990 and Herbst R.W. (undated) The maximum amount of lower limb lengthening varied between 11.75 millimetres and 6.17 millimetres among different cadavers, when 9 degrees of anterior innominate rotation was induced. The maximum amount of lower limb shortening varied between 10.58 millimetres and 6.16 millimetres among different cadavers when 9 degrees of posterior innominate rotation was induced. This 9 degrees of rotation was via both sacroiliac joints, thus effectively allowing 4,5 degrees of rotation per sacroiliac joint.
A 'family group analysis' (Sankaran) evaluation of a triple-blind homoeopathic drug proving of Erythrina Lysistemon 30CH
Authors:   , De Beer Estelle
Published: February 2022

The aim of this analytical study was to determine the effects of the thirtieth centesimal (30CH) potency of the bark of Erythrina Lysistemon on healthy individuals with the subsequent analysis of the proving data obtained according to Sankaran's model! theory of vital sensations and miasms, so that it may be prescribed according to the Law of Similars, as required by homoeopathic science. Thirty-two healthy volunteers who met all the inclusion criteria participated in this study (Appendix A - Suitability for Inclusion). All volunteers were required to sign a consent form (Appendix B). Forty (40) percent (12 of the 32) of the subjects received placebo in a randomised fashion. This was a triple-blind, placebo controlled study where neither the researchers nor the individuals participating in the study knew who received placebo or verum. The provers were unaware of the nature of the substance they were taking and the researchers were unaware of the nature of the substance that they were administrating. The provers recorded their state prior to the administration of the proving substance to establish a baseline from which their state after taking the proving substance was compared (Appendix D - Instructions to Provers). Data collection took the format of a diary or journal in which the provers recorded their symptoms daily and from which the data was later extracted.

Este artigo é uma síntese da minha tese de doutorado em Ciências da Educação, pela Universidad Interamericana. Para tanto, permeamos a formação em educação profissional e a análise da definição das competências profissionais necessárias para o exercício profissional do animador turístico na rede hoteleira de Fortaleza, e como constituem o objeto de estudo da presente tese de doutorado em ciências da educação. Estão contemplados no trabalho os aspectos da formação do trabalhador em contexto de mudança tecnológica e a evolução da animação turística, aliados a prática do referido profissional. A presente pesquisa desenvolve e define o perfil do animador turístico, função, os tipos de animação e a formação necessária para desempenhar a profissão com eficiência, consubstanciando as novas dinâmicas do lazer. Esta pesquisa acadêmica foi realizada a partir experiências vivenciadas na rede hoteleira em nível nacional e internacional. A metodologia aplicada foi de cunho qualitativo, definida como estudo de caso, avaliando a animação turística a partir da análise de cinco grandes hotéis ou resorts de Fortaleza. A pesquisa organizou-se em três eixos: pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo. Chegamos a conclusão de que a animação turística, apesar de ser um produto em ascensão no Brasil e especialmente no Ceará, esta apresenta deficiência no tocante a formação do profissional qualificado, capaz de atender a demanda, tornando-se então urgente promover um processo formativo que a contemple continuamente.
AUTOMATIC ENRICHMENT OF INDOOR 3D MODELS USING A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH BASED ON SINGLE IMAGES WITH UNKNOWN CAMERA POSES
Authors: Jarząbek-Rychard M. , Maas H-G.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. 3D building modeling is a diverse field of research with a multitude of challenges, where data integration is an inherent component. The intensively growing market of BIM-related consumer applications requires methods and algorithms that enable efficient updates of existing 3D models without the need for cost-intensive data capturing and repetitive reconstruction processes. We propose a novel approach for semantic enrichment of existing indoor models by window objects, based on amateur camera RGB images with unknown exterior orientation parameters. The core idea of the approach is the parallel estimation of image camera poses with semantic recognition of target objects and their automatic mapping onto a 3D vector model. The presented solution goes beyond pure texture matching and links deep learning detection techniques with camera pose estimation and 3D reconstruction. To evaluate the performance of our procedure, we compare the estimated camera parameters with reference data, obtaining median values of 13.8 cm for the camera position and 1.1° for its orientation. Furthermore, a quality of 3D mapping is assessed based on the comparison to the reference 3D point cloud. All the windows presented in the data source were detected successfully, with a mean distance between both point sets equal to 3.6 cm. The experimental results prove that the presented approach achieves accurate integration of objects extracted from single images with an input 3D model, allowing for an effective increase of its semantic coverage.

Abstract. The goal of the following article is to outline the method of a gathering of geodata for a historical building and prepare outputs for the Historical Building Information Management. The study site where the geospatial data was captured in the caravanserai in Koysenjaq in Iraqi Kurdistan. Caravanserais are simply accommodation buildings for merchants which were positioned all over the Silk Roads and are spread from China to Turkey. According to UNESCO the historic importance of such buildings lays in the cultural and religious traces left from the merchants who used these sites to even socialize. The caravanserai in Koysenjaq is unfortunately ruined and gathering geospatial data about the state of the construction was captured using close-range photogrammetry and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping technology. The goal of the research was to not only capture data but also reconstruct an orthophoto map of the current state, compare it to the vector state of the floors and prepare data for BIM.

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) within the AEC industry has been evolving. With new developments and increasing capabilities, BIM is reshaping the design, construction, and operation, and maintenance processes and revolutionizing the entire functions of building life cycles. To maximize BIM benefits and take advantage of its capabilities, it is imperative that project stakeholders define specific roles and responsibilities within projects; to employ professionals with high levels of BIM proficiency, expertise, and knowledge. This study aims to classify the construction firms into different clusters based on their BIM capabilities, implementation, BIM levels, and type of BIM roles they employ for construction projects. It will further predict and classify BIM levels at company level according to its usage. The methodology was based on a survey design which consisted of application an online questionnaire that was distributed to AEC professionals in the industry. 61 suitable responses were analysed, using different supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, including Cluster Analysis, K-Nearest Neighbours algorithm (k-NN), Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting. The findings showed most firms were not applying BIM on their projects and the majority of those that did were not utilizing it in its full potential. Firms were further classified in terms of BIM levels and types of BIM applications they utilize on construction projects. The results showed that Random Forest had the highest performance and the most accuracy, comparing with KNN and Gradient Boosting, even though the performance and predictions results produced by all models were in proximity of one another.
VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS TO COMMUNICATE BUILT CULTURAL HERITAGE: A HBIM BASED VIRTUAL TOUR
Authors: Argiolas R. , Bagnolo V. , Cera S. , Cuccu S.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. HBIM methodology is nowadays widely used for the management of all aspects of architectural heritage, from survey to analysis, up to protection and management issues. This interest is due to the potential that HBIM methodology offers in terms of collection, processing, management and sharing of information, through a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach. Practical application of HBIM are the Scan-to-BIM processes, i.e. the digital reproduction of architectures starting from survey methodologies based on laser scanning and photogrammetry.An increasingly frequent application of HBIM models is their integration in game engines for educational or communicative purposes. Actually, examples of AR and VR applications, serious games or virtual tours employing such models are increasingly frequent. Indeed, such tools allow the generation of virtual immersive environments in which the user is free to navigate or interact with objects. The use of virtual environments that reproduce real places or architectures, is able to generate new attraction and interest in users, while facilitating immaterial accessibility and, allowing a dynamic formulation of content, greater ease of understanding and reading calibrated to the user. The paper aims at the development of a virtual tour set entirely in the former Jesuitical Complex of Santa Croce, located in the historical district of Castello in Cagliari. This tour will be a potential tool to support the understanding and communication of historic architecture by going to the virtual accessibility of the complex.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF BIM QUALITY CONTROL IN THE GAME DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Volarik T. , Kuruc M. , Kratochvíl R. , Vystavěl O.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The quality control of the BIM model to be delivered is one of the most important steps in the process of information modelling. Quality control can take place on several levels. First of all, it is a control of geometric parameters, especially a control of the relative accuracy of the resulting model with respect to the modelled real object. Another type of quality control can be a check of the completeness of the model, whether the resulting model contains all the elements that are to be included in the model according to the requirements. MEP equipment such as fire extinguishers, for example, is a substantial content of BIM models. This may also be related to the required level of LOD, e.g. whether these elements are modelled with the required level of detail. Furthermore, the visual properties of the individual elements can be checked, for example whether the surface finish of the wall corresponds to reality. Subsequently, database and descriptive information of individual elements should be checked, such as technical parameters of various items of technical equipment of MEP content.This article describes variants of the publication of a building information model for the purposes of BIM model quality control. The procedure of creating the final application in the game development environment Unreal Engine (Epic Games) is described on the example of a BIM model of a historical building from the middle of the 19th century.
GEOPHYSICS AND BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS, THEIR POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS
Authors: Bárta J. , Jirků J. , Belov T.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Geophysical methods and building diagnostics are non-destructive measurements which can inform about quality of rocks, hydrology conditions or artificial objects (tunnels, foundation of buildings, constructions etc.). Such methods are in the principle non-destructive without impact on environment or population. Hence these methods are mostly cheaper and more acceptable than drilling, travelling with heavy machines etc. Geophysical methods study physical fields and are divided as follows: Geoelectrical methods, Seismics, Gravimetry, Magnetometry, Thermometry, Radiometry. The geophysical measurements can be carried out on a surface of terrain, in boreholes (well logging) or in the air (airborne geophysics). The non-destructive building diagnostics use mostly measurements relating to the seismic, acoustic or nuclear properties. The time-lapse monitoring of administered objects by non-destructive methods can bring beneficial and fundamental source of information about actual conditions of managed objects. Presented non-destructive measurements use sophisticated technologies and respected geophysical companies follow international and domestic standards and legislation. Geophysicists are organized mainly in international associations such as EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) or SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysics). This paper presents typical examples of application of non-destructive methods to our practice.
AUTOMATED TRAINING DATA CREATION FOR SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF 3D POINT CLOUDS
Authors: De Geyter S. , Bassier M. , Vergauwen M.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The creation of as-built Building Information Modelling (BIM) models currently is mostly manual which makes it time consuming and error prone. A crucial step that remains to be automated is the interpretation of the point clouds and the modelling of the BIM geometry. Research has shown that despite the advancements in semantic segmentation, the Deep Learning (DL) networks that are used in the interpretation do not achieve the necessary accuracy for market adoption. One of the main reasons is a lack of sufficient and representative labelled data to train these models. In this work, the possibility to use already conducted Scan-to-BIM projects to automatically generate highly needed training data in the form of labelled point clouds is investigated. More specifically, a pipeline is presented that uses real-world point clouds and their corresponding manually created BIM models. In doing so, realistic and representative training data is created. The presented paper is focussed on the semantic segmentation of 6 common structure BIM classes, representing the main structure of a building. The experiments show that the pipeline successfully creates new training data for a recent DL network.
“MENSURA EST MODUS IN RES BIM AEDIFICATORIA AEDIFICATORIA” MEASUREMENT IS THE CONSTRUCTION MODE VIA BIM

Published: February 2022

Abstract. The BIM method allows to include topography and remote sensing in important way: it is a continuous dynamic, in itinere, not only before the construction but, also, as design verification, after the construction. Understanding the right level of BIM to use is necessary in order to obtain an Opera constructed exactly as was it designed; and to manage the BIM process during the entire construction. This paper supports a precise thesis: the concept of "measure" as a way of implementing BIM. "Measuring" does not only means exchanging data, between design phase and construction phase but, also, identifying accuracy, reliability, , tolerance, modus operandi, "level" of BIM. Identifying and measuring this level is the “way of BIM”, since the design, during the building site work, until the opera's delivery. Predefined ways of applying BIM do not exist it depends on the type of work, context, people, equipment, times and resources, including the human skills. Our research group was asked to support two projects. A public work: the Navy Academy recovery; and a private work: the monitoring via BIM-GIS of the technical components laid in the building site.

Complementary feeding (MP-ASI) is given when the child is 6 months old, the function of MP-ASI itself is to supplement the nutritional needs of breast milk. WHO recommends giving good and nutritious MP-ASI, by categorizing it according to age, texture, number and frequency. This study aims to analyze the relationship of complementary feeding patterns (MP-ASI) with the nutritional status of children in the Suradita Community Health Center in Tangerang Regency. This study used a cross sectional design with 90 participants through a purposive sampling method. Data collection used questionnaire pattern of giving MP-ASI which has been tested for validity and reliability. Statistical test results with 95% confidence intervals indicate that a p-value of 0.007 means that there is a significant relationship between the pattern of giving MP-ASI and nutritional status with an odds ratio (OR) of 4.960 which means that children given with a correct MP-ASI pattern is 4,960 times have higher chance of having a normal nutritional status compared to children who are not given a correct MP-ASI pattern. Researcher suggest in subsequent studies to measure the energy consumed by children to be able to measure MP-ASI pattern more specific Researchers suggest in subsequent studies to measure also a lot of energy consumed by children, so that the measurement of the MP-ASI pattern becomes more specific.
“Apt Invention” in the Anthropocene: Hyperobjects, Marek Hłasko, and Zero K
Authors: Uncapher Daniel
Published: February 2022

Anthropogenic climate change defines the contemporary global experience. Like finance and fascism in the ‘30s, world war and holocaust in the ‘40s, and cold war in the ‘50s, the sixth mass extinction event has emerged as the looming issue, the dominating Real, to which all other realisms are secondary.

But unlike war and economic collapse, Anthropogenic climate change poses challenges that are generally mistreated, or avoided entirely. As Timothy Clark writes in Ecocriticism on the Edge, “the largely benumbed recognition of this reality has become one feature of life in the so-called Anthropocene, to use the currently still informal term for the epoch at which largely unplanned human impacts on the planet’s basic ecological systems have passed a dangerous, if imponderable, threshold.” (Clark x) The Anthropocene “evades normal categories of attention,” and is thus “frightening and intellectually liberating.”

In the ‘50s and ‘60s the novelist Marek Hłasko, the so-called “Eastern European James Dean,” (Ufberg) developed a technique he called “apt invention” to write about his own existential threat of postwar totalitarianism. In his autobiography Beautiful Twentysomethings Hłasko wrote that the straight truth was incomprehensible to people, and only by surpassing the facts with “apt invention” could a writer render the reality of life in Soviet-occupied Poland on the page.

In other words, “apt invention” is the act of mediated imagination that makes the gesture of realism possible, an idea at large today in the popularity of speculative fiction, weird fiction, slipstream, and other modes of genre-lucid literature. Don DeLillo’s Zero K (2016), capitalizing off a popular tolerance for speculation in realism, employs various modes of 21st-century “apt invention” to explore death in an age of extinction, a genre-like surpassing of reality to communicate the Lacanian Real, the experience outside of representation, if experience is to be communicable at all.
Race as techno-politico-aesthetic category in the past and present of visual representation
Authors: Mikhail Mel
Published: February 2022

My article extends the thought of thinkers such as Beth Coleman, Wendy Chun, Robin James, and Falguni Sheth, who argue that race is itself a kind of productive technology. I claim that material and epistemological developments in technology served not only to embed race within the Western subject of representation's 'enframing' apparatus (early modernity and the dawn of industrial capitalism), but also served to reveal the embeddedness of race as such (late modernity, the worker’s movement, civil rights and the crisis of representation), thus making it possible to put race on display in the visual arts as a dis/assembling component of the social order. To make my claim, I use Heidegger's theory of the modern world-picture, which frames the limits of visual representation for the modern subject of representation (the European man); but against Heidegger, I claim that the technoscientific means by which the world-picture is developed are the same means by which race is rent from this frame to be critically disassembled during modernity's crisis of representation. I argue that instead of Heidegger's ontology of aesthetics, which understands art as a saving grace from the enframing of the modern world-picture, Deleuze's ontology of the nonrepresentational Figure is preferable; with it, we can understand artworks which are race-critical as aestheticizing the forces of violence or joy from which the racialized Figure emerges.
There is nothing you can think that is not the moon
Authors: Weppler Rhonda
Published: February 2022

Our proposed project is a curated digital catalogue of objects which we have collected for over 20 years. Including over 400 different objects, each has been carefully photographed on all of its sides. These recorded surfaces are reconfigured digitally as if the object has been flayed and flattened, enabling the object to be printed two dimensionally. Once printed and cut out, the surfaces can be folded to create a three dimensional, realistic facsimile of the original. While the mimic lacks the actual history of the original, the duplicated aging and wear patterns persuade the viewer otherwise. Can these imposters truly conjure up the ghosts associated with the original? Is the copied souvenir capable of fulfilling the role of a real souvenir? Objects that were collected on trips, childhood favorites, marked our teenage years, or were given to us by our now-deceased grandparents, appear to provide us with a connection to our past. However, in reality they are as material bound as their paper twins.

 

We have shown the entire collection of printed duplicates as an ephemeral installation in the form of a life-sized thrift store. Printed on translucent acetate, the objects now transformed into lanterns and were given away during a community light festival event. Dispersing the collection in this way is a play on gift giving, allowing the piece to diffuse and the objects to begin new histories.

[See video link for installation:  https://vimeo.com/341254142]

We want to continue this idea of dispersal by posting a collection of the objects to be available for online printing, for anyone to produce themselves. Depending on space available, this collection could be a handful of curated images, or a more extensive selection. Each object would be accompanied by a small text outlining where and when the original objects was found. We have selected a few of these as examples of what the project would look like; these are on the following pages (at a lower resolution than what is possible).

Based on an urban myth in India, where people often question the use of drop (fall) ceiling in households wondering if they are hiding money up there; this series was my interpretation of what we are hiding. For me, this meant a literal exposure of what was exactly above each drop ceiling tile. My work does not happen to you, you happen upon it through subtle interventions I create. These interventions demand the viewer to introspect the space and my work makes visible the unnoticed elements of that space. After the viewers suspension of disbelief, there is a discrepancy in the moment of realisation, that my work is trying to be something it's not while simultaneously blending into the environment. This discrepancy is not alarming, but grows exponentially as one spends time with it, leaving little grasp of what is real and what is not.

Tamiko Thiel’s Unexpected Growth (2018) and Clement Valla’s Surface Proxy (2015) utilize new media technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and image mapping/print processing to broadcast an image. Both are examples of new media that hone in on formal proximity and immersion at a digital medium-specificity. Incidentally, both also deal in cyber-botanical terrain: Thiel’s Unexpected Growth is an AR installation that presents an uncanny wilderness not exactly of this earth’s, but composed of its discarded waste products. Similarly, Clement Valla’s Surface Proxy reconstructs a third-dimensionality based on flat and two-dimensional renderings of natural objects like plants and stone, effectively making previously organic forms of life synthetic. Both artists utilize digital tools (embedded interfaces, transcription and digital rendering) to present a vitalist materiality that is uncannily nonorganic; instead of the complete, 1080p reproduction of the image, Thiel and Valla’s artworks employ visual queues that effectively splinter reality, emphasizing the loss intrinsic to digital conversion. Yet this materiality is both less than and more than human: these artworks think the relation between digital memory and its withdrawal through nonhuman botanical life. One does not find immediate remedies for the all too human problem of memory loss at the sites of Surface Proxy and Unexpected Growth. Instead, one finds half-rendered relics, overgrown weeds of memory and splintered representations of a future - not of ours, but of sedimentary and botanical life.
Traumatized Time-Traveller: Locating Memory, Nostalgia and Healing in Starz' Outlander
Authors: Lafortune Avery
Published: February 2022

This essay examines the construction of an abstraced space in Outlander's season 5 finale titled "Never My Love." Reffered to as the "dreamscape" this imaginary space is framed as a visual representation of the protagonist's dissociative experience developed in response to an overwhelming trauma. The cinematic space is constructed through a combination of history, memory, reality and fiction. It exists at once outside the bounds of linear time but is also diretly informed by memory rooted in an identifiable time. This essay examines how this type of space serves characters and viewers alike, revealing in the process the ways in which nostalgic atemporal space functions as a trauma response and potential site of healing.

Спільні риси розвитку гончарного виробництва Середньої Наддніпрянщини й Молдови
впродовж ХІV–ХV століть
Authors: Оногда Олена
Published: February 2022

Розглянуто особливості розвитку наддніпрянського гончарного виробництва ХІV–ХV
століть
у контексті культурних взаємовпливів із суміжними регіонами, зокрема
південно-західного напряму.
За матеріалами публікацій досліджень кераміки
Молдовського князівства простежено наявність
спільних техніко-морфологічних рис:
співіснування технологічно досконаліших виробів із архаїчними.
Надалі більш
детальне опрацювання молдовських аналогій може відкрити шлях до відповідей
на
питання про способи культурних і технологічних взаємовпливів у пізньосередньовічний
час.

До історії вивчення гончарства літописних сіверян (роменська культура)
Authors: Пуголовок Юрій
Published: February 2022

Розглянуто історію формування знань про гончарство літописних
сіверян від часу відкриття роменської культури до сьогодення. Завдяки діяльності плеяди
археологів і керамологів, гончарство носіїв роменської культури постало комплексним
явищем матеріальної культури сіверян, що підпорядковувалося розвитку історичного
процесу на Дніпровському Лівобережжі впродовж останньої чверті І – початку ІІ
тисячоліття н. е. Описано методики й дослідницькі підходи до вивчення типології,
технології й декорування кераміки сіверян. Окреслено перспективні напрямки подальших
студій.
Горгона в будівельній кераміці античності: витоки та семантика апотропею
Authors: Рахно Костянтин
Published: February 2022

Про зображення Медузи Горгони – горгонейон, який у
Стародавній Греції й Етрурії слугував одним із головних оберегів. Його у вигляді
зображень на теракотових антефіксах і акротеріях, іншій будівельній кераміці
використовували, з-поміж іншого, для захисту покрівлі. Горгонейон мав на меті
відвернути шкоду чи злі впливи, як от відвести нещастя й запобігти пристріту. В основі
його лежав міф про голову Медузи Горгони, добуту Персеєм, та її нищівний погляд.
Цей міф мав індоєвропейське походження, хоча припускають і близькосхідні впливи.
Параметризація об’ємних кластерів кераміки Генералки-2
Authors: Тубольцев Олег , Павлюкова Поліна , Радченко Симон
Published: February 2022

Для археологічних пам’яток гончарна колекція є одним із основних
джерел інформації не лише про культуру та світогляд давніх людей, але й загалом про
їх існування. Одним із найбільш інформативних параметрів, що характеризують
застосування посуду на пам’ятці, є його об’єм. Особливо це актуально для пам’яток з
незначним розмаїттям типів посуду, таких як Генералка-2 — поселення доби ранньої
бронзи на острові Хортиця. Для розуміння особливостей господарювання об’єми посудин
мають вирішальне значення, однак нечасто стають об’єктом наукового вивчення. Частково це
пов’язано з проблемами їх визначення за умови фрагментарності виробів. Однак цей
ключовий параметр природно пов’язаний з іншими метричними характеристиками горщиків.
За умови значної фрагментарності посудин важливою видається перспектива приблизного
визначення об’єму за набором інших метричних ознак, які можна обрахувати, наприклад,
навіть за невеликим фрагментом вінець. Таку приблизну оцінку уможливлює те, що кераміка
Генералки-2 добре поділяється на окремі кластери (великі, середні та малі горщики) саме
за об’ємом посудин. Крім об’ємних кластерів, колекція пам’ятки дозволяє чітко виокремити
техніко-типологічні групи, пов’язані з орнаментацією артефактів, адже однаковий
орнамент та композиція повторюються там на серіях подібних горщиків. Таким чином
утворюється щонайменше три окремі групи. Величина кореляції між цими непов’язаними
таксонами віддзеркалює рівень зв’язку техніки виконання посудини та її майбутньої
функції (беззаперечно пов’язаної з об’ємом). Утім, для ретельного й точного
дослідження такої кореляції вибірку має бути збільшено, що можливо лише за визначення
об’ємних кластерів низки неповних посудин.
