Social Movements as Producers and Receivers of Knowledge: The Case of “Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own”
Authors: Balunović Filip
Published: April 2023

In this paper I am seeking to resolve a theoretical dilemma. The main argument is that the relationship between social movements and knowledge is a “two-way street”, in which knowledge both gets diffused from critical communities and gets produced by the social movements. In order to resolve this tension one should, I argue, make an analytical separation between different levels of abstraction of knowledge. The macro (conceptual) level is, according to my approach, to be understood as taken over from critical communities. The micro level as contextual intervention into macro conceptualization of reality, whereas the meso level is to be viewed as knowledge produced by social movements when conceptual and presumed / contextual knowledge gets combined. It is at the meso level, in other words, that we can see what applied theory looks like after being exposed to a given context. Knowledge occurring at this level represents the outcome of work done by what Jameson and Eyerman call “movement intellectuals” or what Antoni Gramsci calls “organic intellectuals”. This is how one may theoretically resolve the above-indicated tension and prevent excluding one approach at the expense of the other.

Social Art and Participatory Action Research in Contested Urban Space
Authors: Heslop Julia , Marsden Hannah , Merritt Smit Alison
Published: April 2023

This article examines creative co-research with groups experiencing homelessness and the effects of rapid urban development. It draws upon two projects which combine social art practices and a feminist participatory action research (PAR) approach. The paper argues that bridging PAR and social arts practice, whilst underutilised and under theorised together, is an approach that offers some key opportunities as well as challenges. In highlighting these challenges, the paper acknowledges the role of power dynamics and broader issues associated with artists working in urban development contexts where relationships between local authorities, developers, the culture sector and residents are increasingly complex and entangled. In analysing the difficulties and risks within creative, participatory projects, the paper calls for an ‘ethic of care’ and a focus on collectively building knowledge about unequal political, economic and social structures with groups affected by rapid urban development and displacement.

Biogaming Limbo: Ressentiment of the New Era in Sion Sono’s Tag
Authors: Došen Ana
Published: April 2023

Dealing with the unstable (virtual) realities that are repeatedly constructed in the film Tag (2015), Sion Sono explores entirely new forms of amusement in the realm of transhumanism. In the following text, I will discuss the concept of ressentiment in light of a master-slave relationship between the gamer/fan and an objectified game character, meant to entertain the transhuman subject. From the perspective of critical theory, the film is further examined as a disturbing reflection of the gender issues in both Japanese and global media environments but read in contrast to the prevalent opinion of those critics who perceive it as misogynistic.

Aesthetic Leadership and Organizational Symbolism Experienced at the Paintbrush Factory in Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Authors: Sălcudean Ileana Nicoleta
Published: April 2023

The study of organizational symbolism in the 1980s brought into discussion aspects referring to the image, the sentiments, and the representative values of an organization, pointing to an aesthetic sensibility that can generate meaning. This paper is part of a larger endeavor that examines the latest developments of the methodological models pertaining to organizational aesthetics. Starting from the categories of research in the field of organizational aesthetics proposed by Taylor and Hansen in 2005, I attempt to analyze an art space phenomenon, the Paintbrush Factory in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (2009–22). I focused on aspects of aesthetic leadership and the day-to-day experience of those involved in Paintbrush Factory, especially at the peak of its existence (2009–13), with the aim of finding an appropriate methodological model for research such a complex enterprise as well as to discover lessons that can be learned in terms of its impact and legacy.

The Paintbrush Factory brought a memory of the past to light (through the conversion of a communist space), acquiring an exemplary role in contemporary art (through the type of network developed by this spontaneous, contextual space). The presence of individuals (involved in the management of this art space, artists, or participants in events) was observed in light of the “intelligence of the feeling” and of various symbolic effects. Thus, the Paintbrush Factory is an example of the transformations undergone by an industrial space, which became a creative model of cultural management, a cultural brand with a unique mode of organization: a federation.
Speculative Virontology: Malevolent Infrastructure against the Design of Infrastructural Intimacy in Pulse
Authors: Filipović Andrija
Published: April 2023

In this article, speculative virontology refers to a form of thought that revalues the biontological framework present in current queer theoretical and new materialist thinking. Using an archive of horror films, Paul Golding’s Pulse from 1988 in particular, this article points toward malevolent infrastructure – the conceptualization of matter that is performatively terrorizing the closedness of mutually constitutive design of infrastructural intimacy and the immanence of biontology. Both intimacy and immanence depend on production of space and time which exclude forms of life that are not white middle-class cisnormative (re)productive heterosexuality and thus deemed not properly alive and outside of Being. The figure of the Virus upsets these processes of exclusion and divisions, and reorders conceptuality away from immanence and biontology toward what is non-biontological, toward that which is neither Life nor Nonlife.

Contemporary Aesthetics of NFTs: The Biocentric Experience of Origin and Originality of an NFT
Authors: Popov Vladimir
Published: April 2023

This paper explores the contemporary aesthetics of one of the latest forms of digital art known as non-fungible tokens, aka NFTs, and how and why they are affecting and shaping today’s society. Using Manovich’s theory of metamedium, Lanza’s theory of biocentrism, blockchain technology, and NFTs can be theorized as a form of medium which represents many other media while augmenting them with many new properties. The main theoretical problem with NFTs in the domain of art theory is the question of their originality. When put to use through various digital art collections and online tech platforms, the backend section of the blockchain smart contract code also becomes part of art, hence it can sometimes be difficult to define NFTs’ originality of the art itself. Due to the repetitive nature of NFTs, it can be argued that the most unique component of the NFT metamedium is not art, or blockchain smart contract, but the owner of the digital art piece. With the collection of 10,000 similar pieces of art, the originality of art is evolving through the ideology of cultural groups associated with desired collections. It is shifting from the art itself to the owner. Throughout the unification of technology, software, and art, artists have a new way to extend their creations, while actively participating in the shaping of the cultural landscape. This gives both creators and collectors of the NFT metamedium a brand-new transcending meta experience beyond the art itself that gives a unique point to the originality of the art piece.

The Perspective of Hybrid Radio in the Process of Media Convergence
Authors: Raketić Nataša
Published: April 2023

Digitization and the Internet have enabled traditional radio to gain new formats, new listeners, enrich content and make it available globally. Hybrid radio is the result of digitization and media convergence, enabling the availability of programs and accompanying multimedia content to a larger number of listeners thanks to a combination of FM or DAB+ signals and the Internet. Today, listeners expect a radio station to enable listening to the program non-linearly (on-demand, podcast), they expect to have access to information about weather, traffic conditions, news, and information about a song broadcast in various formats (audio, video, or text) and information about the artist. Also, listeners expect to be able to listen to their favorite radio on the same device, via the same application, even when they are not within the coverage area of the program. From an economic point of view, this is a sustainable, cost-effective system, because most stations, in addition to broadcasting on the FM or DAB+ network, already have a program available online. Also, audience growth increases advertiser interest. Although four and a half billion people have access to the Internet, in this paper I will claim that, thanks to the hybrid model, the future of radio is not exclusively in the online sphere, and that in the coming decades the Internet will be an additional tool for increasing the number of listeners and expanding the commercial market.

Investigate shielding of standard materials and glass for stopping 662 KeV gamma ray penetrations
Authors: Ghafoor Berun nasralddin , Shwan Yadgar Hussein
Published: April 2023

Calculations on shielding are required for the building of a gamma ray radiography exposure room to ensure worker exposure to radiation. A measurement used to evaluate the radiation diffusive and absorption characteristics of a medium is the linear attenuation coefficient ( ). Despite the fact that, as radiation moves through a medium, its absorption is influenced by the wavelength of the radiation as well as the thickness and composition of the medium, the linear absorption coefficient is crucial in the interaction of radiation with matter. This research uses a variety of materials as a shield for a gamma radiation source of  emitted by Cs-137. The results obtained using a gamma source with a scintillation counter showed that the Half Value Thickness (HVT) of glass and aluminum were 3.57 cm, and 3.39 cm while for standard materials (concrete, iron, and lead) were 2.98 cm, 1.195 cm, and 0.58 cm respectively.
2D Electrical Resistivity Imaging to delineate the exact boundary and true thickness of granular aquifers
Authors: Bakhtiar Q. Aziz  , Zana M. Rughzai
Published: April 2023

Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) is one of the best geophysical techniques for studying subsurface and groundwater aquifer investigations. In clastic sediments, determining the exact boundary between different layers on the inverse section of ERI is not an easy task due to gradual changes in resistivity between surrounding layers and the granular aquifers. Therefore, the main aim of the study is to indicate a more precise boundary of the granular aquifers (true thickness of aquifers) on the inverse section. Two different models were used: the field model and the laboratory model, in the field model, four different locations were selected. They are located in (Kalar, Chamchamal, Bazyan, and Piramagroon), within the Sulaymaniyah Governorate, NE Iraq. Two-dimensional (2D) electrical resistivity imaging was carried out along four profiles of 355 m length with a five-meter electrode spacing. The Wenner-Schlumberger array was used for recording the data. For the lab model, a laboratory geological model was constructed has length, height, and width equal to 192, 65, and 45 cm, respectively. Two synthetic profiles were carried out on this model, they have lengths of 190 cm with electrode spacing of 10 cm. The field results indicated that aquifers in clastic sediments on inverse sections always showed anomalies with apparent thicknesses larger than their true thicknesses, which were obtained from the geological column of the wells. In the four studied locations, aquifers' average true thickness is approximately 68.2% of the apparent thicknesses on the inverse sections. The result of the laboratory geological model also showed that the true thickness of the unsaturated gravel is approximately equal to 59.7% of the apparent thickness of the anomaly, which is formed by the dry gravel layer. Also, the true thickness of the saturated gravel is about 57.1% of the apparent thickness of the anomaly, which is formed by the saturated gravel layer. Moreover, the geological model showed that the higher resistivity layer (dry gravel) creates a narrower transitional resistivity zone between clay and gravel than saturated gravel of lower resistivity.

Published: April 2023

A Detailed Calcareous nannofossil study conducted on the Bekhme Formation that is cropped out at the Southern limb of the Bekhere anticline, eastern ward of the Dohuk city near Bajlur village, northern Iraq. The Bekhme Formation is composed of marly limestone, Organic limestone and fossiliferous limestone. The nannopaleontological classification of these calcareous nannofossils led us to determine thirty-four genus/species belonging to nine families. The nannobiostratigraphic analysis suggested three calcareous nannofossils biozones from oldest to youngest are: (1) Quadrum sissinghii Interval Zone; (2) Quadrum trifidum Interval Zone; (3) Tranolithus phacelosus Interval Zone. These biozones suggest that the studied section from the Bekhme Formation is the Middle to Late Campanian, and it refers to temperature fluctuations which considered as possible warm time period at subtropical areas.
Study of optical, structural and electrical properties of copper oxide films prepared by chemical bath deposition with laser at different concentrations
Authors: Mohammed A. Jabr  , Abdullah M. Ali  , Raid A. Ismail
Published: April 2023

In this study, a copper oxide (CuO) thin film was prepared by the (Continuous-Wave) CW laser assisted-chemical bath deposition (LACBD) technique. The effect of laser wavelength on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of CuO film was investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) study shows that the deposited CuO films are crystalline with a monoclinic structure. The optical energy gap increases with the use of a laser during film preparation and it varies from 2.3 to 1.8 eV. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images confirm that the morphology of the film was dependent on the laser wavelength. Increasing the laser wavelength results in decreasing the grain size of the film which enhancing the crystallization. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirms the presence of copper and oxygen elements.  Hall measurement revealed that the deposited films are p-type and the electrical conductivity and mobility increased with the use of a laser. The current-voltage characteristics of the p-CuO/p-Si heterojunction were studied in the dark and under illumination. The maximum optical current of the prepared photodetector at a laser wavelength of 550 nm was found to be in the order of 1.59 × 1012 cm.Hz1/2.W-1. The spectral responsivity revealed that the photodetectors exhibit two peaks of response at 450 nm and 800 nm. The maximum responsivity reached was 0.48 A/W at 450 nm and 0.53 A/W at 800 nm for a photodetector prepared at the laser wavelength of 550 nm.

Published: April 2023

Recently, the widespread use of devices in the field of electronics has caused people to worry about safety. Using traditional cryptographic algorithms to build a complete cryptographic environment for embedded applications or the Internet of Things (IoT) will not be possible due to space, power, and speed limitations. The focus is on lightweight encryption to overcome these problems. In this paper, we have developed the (PRESENT) algorithm, which is among the lightweight algorithms that are used in the IOT and that keeps pace with the requirements of communication speed at the present time. We also used a physical part with the developed algorithm (an external unit that is a USB and using it as a fingerprint for the system) to generate the key while ensuring that the system does not work until after the external unit is connected to the calculator to provide more security for the system from breaches. The developed algorithm achieved a high speed of execution faster than the original algorithm and passed standard tests for various files (text, image, audio, video). In addition to increasing the degree of complexity than the original algorithm.

Research of Manipulation of Stock Assets on the Example of Shares of American High-Tech Companies of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange
Authors: Dorokhov Evgenii Vladimirovich
Published: April 2023

The subject of the study is the processes of manipulation of stock asset prices on the example of shares of American high-tech companies of the NASDAQ exchange. The concept of manipulation of stock assets is formulated and the signs of manipulation of them are presented. The main purpose of the work is to identify signs of manipulation of the stock prices of Facebook, Nasdaq and Google companies from the moment of the initial public offering of the company's shares on the stock exchange (IPO) to the present. The methodology of the study includes statistical methods of data analysis: comparative analysis, correlation and regression analysis. Based on the annual quotes and financial reports of Facebook, Google and Nasdaq, a comparative and correlation analysis of the annual values of investment multipliers is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the comparative and statistical analysis of the data of these companies at the initial time stage after their IPO on the NASDAQ exchange. The result of the analysis showed a fairly strong correlation between them on this indicator. At the same time, a significant overvaluation of Facebook shares was established in the first years after its initial public offering on the stock exchange, in relation to the analog companies of Google and Nasdaq, as well as to the companies listed on the S&P500 stock market of the USA. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the presented methodology allows identifying signs of manipulation with the share prices of companies-analogues of any sufficiently liquid stock market. The topic of the article is of interest to stock market participants, stock analysts, potential investors and purchasers of companies, as well as to stock market regulators dealing with the reliability and security of its processes.
Investigation of salt precipitation dynamic in porous media by X-ray and Neutron dual-modality imaging
Authors: Mascle Matthieu , Lopez Olivier , Deschamps Herve , Rennan Lars , Lenoir Nicolas , Tengattini Alessandro , Youssef Souhail
Published: April 2023

In this work, a new dual modality monitoring technique is presented to demonstrate its interest to investigate the salt precipitation dynamics induced by gas flow-through drying. It consists of imaging simultaneously a core flood using both Neutron and X-ray beams. A method to calibrate and process the two signals is presented. It takes advantage of the difference in attenuation between the two ionizing radiations to quantify the different phase saturations and compositions as well as the reduction of porosity caused by salt precipitation. A set of experiments has been conducted at the NeXT-Grenoble beamline of the Institute Laue-Langevin facilities (ILL, France). Experiments were conducted on a homogeneous rock sample of Bentheimer sandstone using dry nitrogen and a 100 g/L KBr brine. The two first experiments aimed to calibrate the dual modality for the different phases. The last two experiments have been conducted with a brine capillary contact maintained at the gas outlet. Experimental data have given new insights into the organization of the three phases (the brine, the gas, and the precipitated salt) when a salt bank is formed in the sample. These quantities computed using dual-modality imaging show great similarities with published work. The salt accumulation was used to estimate the flow rate of brine pumped through the capillary contact to compensate for the brine evaporation in the gas phase. Observations have shown that a reduction of the initial porosity in some sections of the sample by 12–14% was enough to trigger a gas draw-down characterized by the migration of the salt toward the gas inlet. In some conditions (low gas inlet pressure for example), the rise of the water could be fast enough to form a second salt bank higher in the sample. It has been observed that the formation of the second salt bank could spread the precipitated salt in a less damaging configuration for the gas flow, triggering a phase of gas build-up characterized by the withdrawal of the water. These phases of gas draw-down and build-up could alternate until the sample clogs.

Ultrasound localization of embolic material to guide resection of brain AVM: Report of two cases
Authors: Yokoya Shigeomi , Takezawa Hidesato , Hidaka Yukihiro , Fujiwara Gaku , Oka Hideki
Published: April 2023

Background:

The Spetzler–Martin Grade (SMG) is widely used to evaluate the risk of resection of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and direct surgery is strongly recommended for low SMG lesions. Micro-AVMs are defined as AVMs with a nidus <1 cm in diameter, and sometimes, the challenge is identifying the exact lesion site during AVM resection, although identification of the site is very important in the procedure. Here, we present two cases in which the sites of micro-AVM were marked using presurgical embolization and easily confirmed by intraoperative ultrasonography (IUS) and discuss the benefits of IUS in combination with presurgical embolization for low-grade micro-AVM.

Case Description:

(Patient 1) A 30-year-old man was brought to our hospital and diagnosed with a micro-AVM, which was classified as SMG II AVM. He underwent evacuation of the intracerebral hematoma and subsequently underwent AVM resection. However, the lesion was not identified because it was not exposed in the cerebral cortex although we searched for the lesion. Therefore, endovascular embolization was performed before subsequent surgical resection. During AVM resection following embolization with Onyx, the IUS clearly demonstrated the Onyx-embolized lesion, and it was resected uneventfully. (Patient 2) A 46-year-old man with a ruptured SMG II AVM underwent AVM resection using a microsurgical technique with IUS after embolization for AVM preoperatively. IUS clearly showed abnormal vessels embolized with Onyx and indicated the correct location of the nidus, although the lesion was not observed directly from the brain surface. After identifying some embolized AVM constructions, we excised the entire AVM with ease and safety.

Conclusion:

The combined use of presurgical embolization, which focuses on marking the lesions and IUS, may contribute to improving surgical outcomes of low SMG micro-AVMs, which are not exposed on the brain surface.
Electromigration forces on atoms on graphene nanoribbons: The role of adsorbate-surface bonding
Authors: Leitherer Susanne , Brandbyge Mads , Solomon Gemma C.
Published: April 2023

Atom diffusion on surfaces induced by a bias voltage or external electric fields has received increasing attention in both experimental and theoretical studies. In this work, we study such electromigration phenomena by placing different atom types on two-dimensional armchair graphene nanoribbons in an electric field along the ribbon and examining the electromigration force with ab- initio simulation techniques. Our findings show that the forces are related to the induced charges in the adsorbate-surface bonds rather than to the induced atomic charges, and the left/right effective bond order can be used to predict the force direction. Focusing in particular on 3d orbital transition metal atoms, we show how a simple model of a metal atom on benzene can explain the forces in an inorganic chemistry picture. This study demonstrates how the underlying bonding and molecular orbital structure becomes relevant for the definition of electromigration forces on the nanoscale. Accordingly extended models including the ligand field of the atoms might provide a better understanding of adsorbate diffusion on surfaces under non-equilibrium conditions.

Cellular membrane lipid composition is implicated in diseases and controls major biological functions, but membranes are difficult to study experimentally due to their intrinsic disorder and complex phase behaviour. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been useful in understanding membrane systems, but they require significant computational resources and often suffer from inaccuracies in model parameters. Applications of data-driven and machine learning methods, currently revolutionising many fields, remain of limited use for membrane systems due to the lack of suitable training sets. Here we present the NMRlipids Databank—a community-driven, open-for-all database featuring programmatic access to quality- evaluated atom-resolution MD simulations of lipid bilayers. The NMRlipids Databank will benefit scientists in different disciplines by providing automatic ranking of simulations based on their quality against experiments, programmable interface for flexible implementation of data-driven and machine learning applications, and rapid access to simulation data through a graphical user interface. To demonstrate how it unlocks possibilities beyond current MD simulation studies, we analyzed the NMRlipids Databank to reveal how anisotropic diffusion of water and cholesterol flip-flop rates depend on membrane properties.

Low back pain is a common condition which causes physical emotional and economic burden on the society. This case report demonstrates the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation NIBS in managing failed back syndrome. The case study involved a 50-year-old patient with post-laminectomy back pain. The NIBS involved direct current transfer using sterile acupuncture needles inserted in a clockwise direction at an angle of 45deg at D20 motor representation of lumbar muscles motor and somatosensory areas of the brain and delivered using a battery driven handheld acupuncture pen stimulator shastri stimulator with patient lying in supine position. Pain was assessed using the numerical pain rating scale NPRS before and after the treatment. Other outcome measures such as straight leg raise SLR vertical oscillatory pressure VOP transverse oscillatory pressure TOP was recorded. Changes in outcome were measured by subtracting pre-treatment score from post-treatment score. There was a significant difference in NPRS from 810 pre-treatment to 310 post-treatment. There was also significant improvement in SLR TOP and VOP post-treatment. This study suggests that NIBS is effective in managing chronic low back pain and failed back syndrome.
