Jorge Cuesta: Mineral music, poetry and sound art
Authors: Castro-Campos David Enrique
Published: October 2022

En su libro Estética de la música, Enrico Fubini considera que: «la esencia del proceso creador es un constante diálogo entre la materia y la forma», para el caso de esta propuesta, entre  la palabra y el ritmo y la armonía. Nosotros creemos que ese diálogo puede extenderse a la comunicación entre diversos modos de expresión y que la poesía y la música son capaces de unificar sus esfuerzos y alimentarse constantemente. En este orden de ideas surge nuestro intento por unificar en un solo discurso la poesía y la música. Canto a un Dios mineral del poeta de origen veracruzano Jorge Cuesta apareció en nuestro horizonte como un pretexto para llevar a cabo este proyecto. En Jorge Cuesta: Music, poetry and sound art, poesía y arte sonoro unifican sus destinos con la intención de crear una pieza de arte sonoro vinculada a la interdisciplinariedad y por la que ponemos en un solo trazo dos pasiones: la poesía y la música.

Authors: Godina Machado Irlanda Vanessa , López Serna Marcela Leticia
Published: October 2022

Gran parte de los soportes sociales, de las desigualdades existentes, se ubican en los bienes culturales como medios de consolidación de narrativas preaprobadas por grupos de poder, las cuales permean a la conciencia colectiva y su imaginario. Los retratos reflejados en las diversas manifestaciones culturales muestran una visión aspiracional y jerárquica establecida en entramado social. El trabajo que se propone en este artículo busca abordar de manera más amplia los postulados antes expuestos, además presentar el libro titulado Más que un beso. Historias de mujeres y feminismos en Aguascalientes, el cual tiene como objetivo divulgar y visibilizar las aportaciones de las mujeres a la vida cultural, social y económica del estado de Aguascalientes, a través de la compilación de cuentos, narraciones y ensayos sobre mujeres que, desde la perspectiva y la escritura de otras mujeres, deban ser recordadas en esa historia no escrita, mostrando narrativas diversas. Desde el libro en mención se busca dignificar la vida de las mujeres, lo que el derecho pretende formalmente, pero no ha satisfecho materialmente.

atmósfera sonora en la danza clásica. Una reflexión filosófica sobre el lazo inseparable entre tempo-musical y arte dancístico antes y durante la pandemia del Covid-19.
Authors: Lay Trigo Sarahí
Published: October 2022

En la danza clásica, la música es parte esencial de su realidad (sea como arte vivo o como arte transmitido de manera digital), sin embargo, cuando se estudia, muchas veces se obvia o se deja de lado. Por eso, este trabajo tiene como propósito reflexionar sobre la instalación sonora de la realidad de la danza clásica. Para abordar esto, la autora se fundamenta –principalmente– en la metáfora de atmósfera desarrollada en la teoría esferológica de Peter Sloterdijk y en la estética del aparecer de Martin Seel. Con ello se profundiza en los modos en los que los artistas del movimiento despliegan un eco acústico como parte de su climatización atmosférica social, estética y existencial, en donde el tempo-musical se convierte en un lazo inseparable. Aquí es importante señalar que, parte de estas reflexiones surgen de la propia experiencia de la autora como investigadora y profesional de la danza y del trabajo de investigación realizado en su tesis doctoral.

                Así, para abordar esta relación entre tempo-musical y danza clásica, la reflexión se divide en tres partes, a saber: 1) La atmósfera humana, 2) El gemelo sonoro de la danza clásica, y 3) El tempo musical y la práctica del ballet en tiempos de pandemia. Esta última parte reflexiona sobre algunos de los retos que la práctica dancística (cotidiana y escénica) tuvo que sortear durante la pandemia del SARS-CoV-2, lo que la hizo migrar a espacios digitales en los que la relación que mantenía con el tempo musical como arte vivo, inevitablemente, se modificó.

                Finalmente, se concluye que, la música para la danza como arte vivo es más que un acompañamiento, es una atmósfera social-estética-y-existencial de cualidades especiales que aparece en el presente escénico como un campo energético de asociaciones acústicas y rítmicas al que está completamente liado el movimiento y sus participantes (bailarines, música y audiencia). Atmósfera que –por más que se haya intentado– hasta el momento no ha podido digitalizarse de manera que se pueda decir que, la experiencia en vivo de un espectáculo de danza ya no es necesaria.

Published: October 2022

Proactive strategies are being opted by metallurgical, foundry and manufacturing industries with respect to their experiences working with product designing based on product life cycle assessments. Without the consideration of the potential impacts on the life cycle, the development of new products would barely be sustainable. “Green” composites or bio-composites are fully degradable composites mainly consisting of a blend of biopolymer matrix and natural fibers which act as a reinforcing phase. In this study, natural bio-composite was reviewed as an alternative sustainable product. The types of natural fibers were also described as raw material of natural bio-composite. In addition, development natural fibers nowadays were mentioned. Furthermore, the application of natural fiber reinforced bio-composites was also presented.
Estimating the Seismic Strength of Infill Walls by Means of Hollow Brick Prism Tests
Authors: Özbwk Eray , Karakuş Osman
Published: October 2022

Architectural infill walls interact with the surrounding reinforced concrete load bearing members of the building under lateral earthquake loads and can change the system behavior significantly. Therefore, lateral strength calculation of these walls may become mandatory for the designers. These infill walls often formed with horizontally-hollow clay based bricks in many regions of the world. However, strength of these bricks depends on the loading direction and bricks remain in the diagonal compression strut of an infill wall are subjected to biaxial compression. Thus, testing procedures investigate the strength only in the direction perpendicular to the bed-joint seems insufficient to reflect actual behavior. Accordingly, it is confusing for designers to determine or consider compressive strength of hollow clay bricks in order to model and calculate the strength of an infill wall. To clear up this confusion, the seismic strength of plastered infill walls made up of horizontally-hollow bricks were tried to be estimated by various prism tests. The effects of loading direction, plaster, and presence of a single or double brick on prism strength were experimentally investigated. Six reference walls and more than 170 prism specimens were tested in accordance with this scope. The correlation between prism and infill wall strength was established with a valid and practical method. Results showed that diagonally loaded plastered prism group successfully and adequately estimated the experimental infill wall strength. In addition, if diagonal testing is not possible to conduct, the average strength of the vertically and horizontally loaded prism tests may be used instead.
Ich bin Italiano: The Internment of Trentini, Tirolesi, and Triestini in Canada during the First World War Marinel Mandres
Authors: Mandres Marinel
Published: October 2022

Citizenship, rather than ethnicity, determined the treatment of immigrants during Canada’s first national internment operations (1914–20). Italians were concurrently treated as friends and enemies. Those born in Italy were “friendly” aliens. Those born in Austria (Trentino, Tyrol, and Trieste) were declared “enemy” aliens and subjected to monitoring, arrest, and internment. Personal narratives are constructed for most of the fifty-one interned Italians. Many of them rebuilt their lives in Canada. The goals of this article are to (1) establish the identities and narratives of internees, (2) determine why and where they were interned, (3) relate their experiences during and after internment, and (4) determine whether any organizations intervened on their behalf. Thematic headings include (1) pre-1914 immigration and settlement of Italians from Austria, (2) wartime predicament of Italians, (3) initiatives of diplomats and ethnic organizations, (4) internee narratives, and (5) aftermath of internment.
Tra sogno e realtà. Identità d’Italia
Authors: Averna Marta
Published: October 2022

Il concetto di italianità ha due facce, è sia “la coscienza di sentire l’appartenenza alla civiltà, alla storia, alla cultura e alla lingua italiana,” che passa attraverso l’ordinario, i gesti quotidiani di chi emigra e stabilisce una relazione diretta con un paese e una cultura diversi, sia l’insieme delle caratteristiche identitarie nella percezione dell’Italia, riferito a oggetti ed esperienze altri, straordinari, che rendono desiderabile essere secondo il canone dell’italianità. Negli anni ’50 l’Italia prova a ridefinirsi dopo gli anni bui della guerra e del fascismo: i vettori che testimoniano questo cambiamento sono oggetti, arredi, opere d’arte e architetture, raccontate o esperite, come sui transatlantici, disegnati in tutti loro tratti come ambasciatori mobili d’Italia. All’esperienza diretta si affianca il racconto, sulle pagine delle riviste e nelle raffinate brochure pubblicitarie, che proprio nello sfalsamento tra vita reale ed esperienza immaginata, costruisce la narrazione di un paese mitico, accattivante, finalmente moderno e rinnovato.
Alla ricerca dell’Italianità. Il ruolo dell’italiano nella comunità italiana di Montreal
Authors: Scetti Fabio
Published: October 2022

Questo contributo s’inserisce in una ricerca etnografica più ampia sulla “comunità italiana” di Montreal, in Canada. Il suo scopo principale è quello di illustrare la situazione della lingua italiana e delle altre lingue e dialetti parlati dai discendenti della migrazione italiana nella città. Inoltre, tale progetto è volto a sottolineare l’importanza della questione della diversità e varietà linguistica nel processo identitario del gruppo, alla ricerca di una sua italianità, e il ruolo chiave delle pratiche linguistiche e della loro evoluzione in un contesto multilingue come quello di Montreal, a contatto con due lingue dominanti: il francese e l’inglese. Le ricerche si sono svolte a Montreal, dal 2011 al 2021, e sono state raccolte 60 interviste di italiani o discendenti di emigrati italiani di diversa età, sesso, condizione socio-economica, professione e studi. L’analisi dei dati ci ha permesso di osservare alcune caratteristiche peculiari dell’italiano parlato a Montreal, ed è stato inoltre possibile studiare il ruolo chiave e il particolare statuto dell’italiano attraverso ideologie e rappresentazioni, come elemento dell’identità comunitaria e della costruzione della cosiddetta italianità.

Published: October 2022

This prospective observational study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Chittagong Medical College Hospital from May 2002 to April 2003. The objective of the study was to evaluate various aspects of ruptured uterus regarding etiology, identification of risk factors, types of surgery carried out, maternal mortalities & morbidities and fetal outcome. During the period, out of total 9643 hospital deliveries, 70 cases of ruptured uterus were admitted. This gives an incidence of ruptured uterus 1 in 137 deliveries. Most of the women ranged between 20-29 years of age, while almost all of them were multi parous with mean parity of 5.5. There were only 2 cases in primi gravida , 81% patient was not on any antenatal care. Most of them (81%) were illiterate and from low socioeconomic (87%) group of the community. The common etiological risk factors were Cephalo pelvic disproportion (67%) Shoulder presentation (21%) Abuse of oxytocic drugs (10%) Previous caesarean scar (16%) and Malhandling by dai (42%). Most of the patients gave the history of prolonged labor for more than 24 hours. Shock and sepsis were the prominent presenting features. In most cases, the rupture site was on the lower segment (51%) and in 78% cases, the tear was complete. Out of 68 patients, 33(48%) underwent subtotal hysterectomy, 19(31%) had repair and 14(20.5%) patient undergone total hysterectomy. (2.8%) patients expired after arrival at the hospital before any surgical intervention could be done. Out of 70 patients, 7 patients died giving the mortality rate10%. The fetal mortality rate was 87%.Uterine rupture still remains one of the major causes of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Promotion of skilled attendance at birth, use of family planning among those at high risk, avoiding injudicious use of oxytocics during labor, correct use of Partograph and preventing unnecessary c-sections are essential in reducing the occurrence of uterine rupture.

Published: October 2022

Vitamin K deficiency may cause unexpected bleeding sometimes severe one into the brain in previously apparently healthy neonates, known as Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) of newborn. Vitamin K prophylaxis in the newborn continues to be a worldwide health concern. A single intramuscular prophylactic dose (0.5 to 1 mg) of vitamin K within first 6 hrs of delivery is preferable till date in preventing VKDB. This observational study was carried out to see the current practices of vitamin K prophylaxis in newborn in different health care centers of a metropolitan area of Chittagong in Bangladesh from July 2013 to December 2013. Total 103 cases were enrolled in this study among them in 82 (79.61%) cases vitamin K prophylaxis was administered after initiation of breast feeding and in 21 (20.39%) cases it was offered before initiation of breast feeding. In 89 (86.40%) cases route of administration was oral whereas in 2 (1.94%) and 12 (11.65%) cases routes were intramuscular and intravenous respectively. In this study it is observed that most of the neonates received vitamin K prophylaxis orally, which is not the currently recommended route to prevent VKDB. So awareness should be promoted in this regard.

Published: October 2022

Moringa Oleifera Lam (Called Shajna in Bengali) is a plant which has a long history of uses in liver disorders in this subcontinent. This study was done to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of ethanol extract of leaf of this plant on paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The total experiments were designed as follows I) Experiment- (Part I):- Induction of hepatotoxicity by single administration of paracetamol at a dose of 2 gm/kg body weight. 2) Experiment- (Part II). Effects of ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. on paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The biochemical reports suggested that acute administration of paracetamol produced significant hepatotoxicity in experimental rats which was evidenced by significant increase in serum bilirubin, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum alkaline phosphatese (ALP) level, decrease in serum albumin and serum total protein level. When rats were treated with extracts of M. oleifera leaf in paracetamol induced hepatotoxic albino rats, the results showed marked reduction in serum bilirubin, serum ALT, serum AST and serum ALP level and increase of serum albumin level but not sigificant increase of total protein as compared with paracetamol treated group. The results of the present study revealed that ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaf has got protective effects against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity. Further study is needed to find out the curative effect and to isolate the active principle and to explore out the exact hepatoprotective mechanism of this leaf extract.

Leukodystrophy cases are not common in routine clinical practice. Among leukodystrophies adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) cases are more common. It presents with neurologic and endocrine features with characteristic Megnetic Resonance Image (MRI) findings and biochemical changes. Early recognition of index case is important because dietary modification & supplementation with Lorenzo’s oil can slow progression of the disease course and can be life saving. Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) if performed in earlier stage of disease can be very rewarding to show stabilization and in some instances improvement of patient’s condition. More over prenatal diagnosis of affected boys can be performed by analyzing pedigree chart of an affected family members of this X-linked chromosomal disease.

Religious Harmony as The Gateway To Social Harmony and Peace: An Approach From Lord Buddha And Swami Vivekananda
Authors: Mohanta Dilip Kumar
Published: October 2022

This short paper argues that interreligious and intra-religious harmony is a necessary condition for social harmony, peace and progress. It is an attempt to develop arguments in favour of the above thesis with special reference to the teachings of Buddha and Vivekananda. Buddha taught human beings to be rational, analytical and moral in way of life. Buddha, therefore, taught openness, interdependence and middle path. Vivekananda also argues for universal religion which is based on scientific, rational and compassionate human relations. He considers that the service of human beings is the service of God. It seems to be a direct impact of the compassionate teachings of Buddha upon Vivekananda. Both of them have indirectly contributed to what is called today the philosophical doctrine of Religious Pluralism which rests on the principle of ‘live and let live’. Both of them were against all kinds of ‘dogmatism, fanaticism and bigotry’. The proposed form of religious harmony is one of the golden ways or middle paths today for addressing many global issues for social harmony, peace and progress.

Islāmic Aesthetics: Art and Beauty
Authors: Shāh Kāzmī Latīf Hussaīn
Published: October 2022

Islāmic aesthetic is an outcome of Islāmic civilisation based on Islāmic metaphysics and theology and emphasizes that God is the origin or source of all art and thought, including various art forms. Thus, the essences or forms of all things have their reality in the Divine Wisdom or Intellect (Al-‘Aql-i-Awwal). Islāmic conception of art and beauty has its origin in Islāmic Weltanschauung, so, each object of beauty in nature reflects the Creative and Aesthetic aspect of Jamīl Allāh with His Jamāl. Generally, in Muslim world, art and beauty are almost neglected ones, so, they are not given significant and sufficient importance because of some unauthentic and false notions and consequently, we have almost lost this pristine Islāmic heritage and now we must revisit it and realise its vital function and role in our socio-political and ethico-spiritual life. Islāmic aesthetics has a significant role in the cultural tradition of Islāmic Ummah, so it must be revitalised for a peaceful life’s onward caravan. In the present paper, an effort has been made to discuss the etymological meaning of ‘aesthetics’ in general and the main features of Islāmic conception of aesthetics, including art and beauty, in particular, along with various Islāmic art-forms.

The Development of Hindu Nationalism (Hindutava) in India in the Twenteith Century: A Historical Perspective
Authors: Banik Sajib Kumar
Published: October 2022

India has one of the most heterogeneous societies in the world. It is a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Constitutionally, it is also a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. But in recent times, Hindu nationalism or Hindutva has been dominant in shaping Indian politics. Hindutva, a shorthand of Hindu nationalism, is actually a politico-ideological device that appears to be disassociated from the spiritual roots of Hinduism and, to many, it is very much alike to the rise of political Islam. Although Hinduism is native to the Indian subcontinent, Hindutva as a political ideology is comparatively a recent phenomenon which creates a growing concern to the land since 1920s. India experienced the rise of Hindutva as a concrete political ideology in 1923 introduced by V. D. Savarkar as it starts to achieve its popularity since 1980s. Obviously it has many reasons. Hindutva is not a monolithic concept as it is generally perceived. Rather, its text, subtext and context had changed throughout the 20th century depending on the period and leadership. This article aims to analyze the trend of the development of Hindu Nationalism or Hindutva in India since its start in the 20th century through a historical lens.

Published: October 2022

Salah satu produk tanaman holtikultura yang tumbuh subur di negara kita adalah buah-buahan. Buah-buahan mengandung vitamin dan mineral yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh tubuh karena tubuh tidak dapat memproduksi vitamin dan mineral. Buah-buahan yang yang mudah rontok seperti jambu air dan belimbing biasanya tidak dikonsumsi karena fisiknya sudah rusak. Akhirnya buah-buah tersebut menjadi limbah dan dibuang. Limbah buah tersebut dapat dijadikan bahan baku dalam pembuatan pupuk kompos cair. Desa Arga Indah I yang merupakan lokasi kegiatan ini termasuk ke dalam wilayah Kecamatan Pagar Jati Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah, Propinsi Bengkulu. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini adalah agar khalayak sasaran dapat memproduksi pupuk kompos cair dari limbah buah. Metode yang dipakai dalam kegiatan ini adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan, pelatihan, dan demonstrasi pembuatan pupuk kompos cair dari limbah buah. Dari hasil penyuluhan dan pelatihan, khalayak sasaran mengerti tentang cara mengelola limbah  buah untuk dijadikan pupuk kompos cair. Diharapkan dari hasil praktek, para khalayak sasaran yang terdiri dari anggota karang taruna dan anggota PKK Desa Arga Indah I dapat menghasilkan pupuk kompos cair yang bermutu dari limbah buah.

Satellite imageries are being used as primary source of information due to their vast coverage and high temporal resolution. Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is being used these days because of its accuracy, autonomous flights, cost effectiveness and rapid overview of data. UAV provides a fully or partially autonomous image acquiring platform which is devoid of any manned flight controller. In this research Phantom 3 advanced Quadcopter was used for an image acquisition plan for generation of Digital Surface Model (DSM). Two designs were drawn through this workflow for the reconstruction of Department of Space Science and technology in university of Punjab. For the first design 3D quadcopter is hovered at the height of 120 feet (37 meters) which covered an area of 83 x 130 meter, frontal and sidewise overlapping is 80%, and the camera is kept at an angle of 70° for the double grid type pattern. For second mission design a circular flight is taken to obtain images at the height of 27meters with coverage area of (107 x 106) meter, 45° camera angle and 10° circular angle. For reconstruction of urban area, quadcopter is hovered at relatively greater height of 210 feet (64 meters), following the double grid pattern. In order to attain desired GST, the camera is flown at a constant height over the Area of Interest (AOI). The highly overlapped images obtained using Phantom 3, advanced Quadcopter are then processed using Pix4d software for processing of images. Initially, the common points of adjacent images are matched automatically. After matching similar points, additional geographic information of coordinates and z-value of elevation associated with it is generated in 3D space by sparse point cloud. Then a detailed 3D model along the precise geo location is obtained using dense point cloud. A study surface area and its texture are generated using 3D mesh. Finally, a desired 3D surface model is accurately generated containing desired AOI. The results are analyzed using UAV imagery to generate high resolution DSM. DSM for construction of urban area of Department of Space Science was generated at a very high resolution of 3.55cm and 1.8cm respectively. The accuracy of geo locations can be improved by using GPS loggers or by taking the GCPs. It is suggested by many authors that 3D surface model of reconstruction of building is quite accurate geographically and geometrically, after the comparison of bundle block adjustments, Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) value, 3D matching and average point cloud density of DSM. Thus, the 3D surface models are used in parameters, features extraction and estimation of values including depth and elevation values, in texturing, 3D data collection for 3D visualizations, 3D roof tops and building facades and contour maps and orthodox photos.

Hypsometric Integral (HI) displays the effect of active tectonics and sensitivity on geomorphic structures. In this study we calculated HI values for Hunza valley to investigate neotectonics, development of topographic structures and process of erosion using SRTM DEM 90m. ArcGIS and MATLAB is used to generate HI and hypsometric curve (HC). We generated HI and HC values by using D8 algorithm in MATLAB to extract drainage basins for 5 and 6 Strahler orders. HI and HC values show the stages of erosion for instance high values of HI and convex HC displays young and tectonically active stage. We used different grid sizes in ArcGIS to calculate maximum, mean and minimum elevation utilizing different statistical techniques. We used Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) instead of Global Moran Index to determine the extent of distribution of clustered, dispersed and randomized HI values. This technique indicates high positive z score for auto correlated data. Regions with high HI value indicate relative uplift, undissected and young structures while low HI values indicate sediment accumulation and shallow earthquakes.

The thyristor is a power electronics device that is widely used in various electrical appliances due to its lower on-conduction losses, easy availability, lower switching loss, greater efficiency and cost-benefit. Mostly a thyristor is used in rectifiers and variable-speed drives. Almost 70% of loads used in the world consists of induction motors in various types and forms. In this work, a thyristor-based controller is used to control the speed of a single phase induction motor by adjusting the firing angle for the gate terminal of the thyristor. Depending upon the firing angle, the output voltage, output current, speed, power factor and the total harmonic distortion are varied which is analyzed through MATLAB/Simulink. Further curve fitting technique is used to formulate the mathematical relationships between varying parameters concerning thyristor’s firing angle. The findings of this work are helpful to achieve the best curve fit model for varying parameters concerningthe thyristor firing angle.

Skin cancer is an uncontrolled development of abnormal skin cells potentially due to excessive exposure to sun, history of sunburns, less melanin, Precancerous skin lesions, moles, etc. This occur when unrepaired DNA damages the cells of the skin. It is one of the diseases that are viewed on its quick evolution and the most common type of cancer that endangers life. Researchers have implemented several machine learning and deep learning techniques for classification of skin cancer. In this research paper, different cancer categories are classified using significant attributes. We have used International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) dataset for classification purposes. This dermoscopic attributes dataset includes 1000 images and 10016 instances, seven categories, 5 features and 2 Meta attributes. We implemented K-Nearest Neighbor, Logistic Regression, Convolutional Neural Network, Naïve Bayes, and Decision Tree for classification and compared their performance. In order to implement classification algorithm, we used Orange which is an open-source machine learning, data mining, and data visualization toolkit. The models are evaluated based on matrices that include Accuracy, C. Automation, F1 score, Precision, Recall, and AUC. Furthermore, frequency of features is visualized using graphical method and the ROC analysis is also performed for the classifiers. It is observed that CNN technique provided the highest accuracy of 89% and the mentioned results are the highest results of classification with the state of the art techniques. For future, the improved and recent dataset and ensemble modelling techniques based on deep learning can used to enhance classification results. The research can also be extended for other cancer types using CNN.
