Fraktal shakllarning muhokamasiga kirishishdan oldin, fraktallarning ayrim asosiy xususiyatlarini va tabiiy geografiya sohasiga aloqadorligini bayon qilish kerak. Ma’lumki, fraktallar o‘ta murakkab shakllarga ega bo‘lib, ular fraktal gʻoyalarni va haqiqiy hayotiy dasturlarni tushunish uchun muhim bo‘lgan noyob obyektlardan tashkil topadi. Turli chegara hududlarini fraktal o‘lchov bilan tavsiflanishi mumkin. Biroq tasvir ma’lumotlari cheklangan bo‘lsa, chegaralarning fraktal o‘lchovlarini muntazam ravishda hisoblash birmuncha murakkab. Ammo chegara o‘lchovi ba’zan taqriban hisoblanadi. Ushbu maqola fraktallar nazariyasiga asoslangan tadqiqotlar yordamida chegara o‘lchovlarini hisoblash uchun bir qator amaliy sonli modellarni ishlab chiqishga qaratilgan. Bundan tashqari, chegara o‘lchovi va shakl indekslari hamda masshtablash o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlik va farqlarni ko‘rish mumkun.
Debates parlamentares sobre a criminalização da LGBTQIAPN+fobia
Authors: Brito da Gama Maria Clara
Published: April 2024

O artigo analisou discursos de parlamentares sobre projetos de lei federais brasileiros que visavam criminalizar as discriminações decorrentes da orientação sexual e da identidade de gênero. Esses projetos tramitaram entre 2001 e 2014. Foram investigadas principalmente as concepções das parlamentares feministas e dos seus opositores nesses debates, parlamentares evangélicos, sobre os seguintes temas: 1) diferentes visões sobre a homossexualidade; 2) a (im)pertinência de enquadrar a lgbtqiapn+fobia na mesma lei que criminalizou o racismo; 3) o problema da severidade das penas previstas pelos projetos em discussão. A criminalização da lgbtqiapn+fobia foi reconhecida posteriormente, em 2019, pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. O artigo apresenta reflexões sobre o fenômeno da judicialização da política aplicado ao caso em questão. Finalmente, também reflete sobre as implicações dos posicionamentos das parlamentares feministas em relação às lutas das minorias sexuais, especialmente no que concerne à luta contra a dominação masculina.

Published: April 2024

Local communities worldwide utilise natural salt licks for hunting or extracting salts. In Sarawak, salt licks are not protected by legislation, and limited documentation is available regarding the community dependence on such resources. This study investigates the dependence of indigenous Sarawak communities on natural salt licks. A quantitative questionnaire survey using snowball sampling approach was conducted, targeting 27 individuals from communities residing nearby nine salt licks in northern and central Sarawak. These communities included the Kenyah (18), Iban (four), Berawan (three), Kelabit (one) and others (one). The survey revealed that the saly licks were mainly utilised for hunting (92.6%) or to collect salt (7.4%). A majority of respondents (57.1%) reported catching one to two animals on each hunting trip near a salt lick. Sambar deer (38.5%) was recorded as the most commonly observed animal at these sites, followed by wild boar (24.6%) and muntjacs (15.4%). Other species include macaques (10.8%), langurs (7.7%) and mousedeers (3.1%). The study highlights the importance of salt licks and can be used to formulate the development of conservation strategies and management plans for these sites in Sarawak.

Le changement diversité comme réalité organisationnelle au Québec : étude exploratoire sur les déclencheurs et les particularités
Authors: Lachegar Mouna , Lemieux Nathalie
Published: April 2024

Diversity management has become increasingly important. It refers to a set of activities designed to respond effectively to a diverse workforce, involving both the fight against discrimination and the valorization of differences as well as the unification of a diverse collective. Reflecting a demographic, sociological, and ideological reality, the consideration of diversity in organizations leads to a rethinking of certain managerial practices and entails fundamental transformations of the organization which leads to it being considered as a change in itself. If each organizational change seems different from the others, the consideration of diversity in organizations is no exception. It is described as a unique case of organizational change, whose process is both complex and dynamic, and is also described as permanent, non-linear, and multi-level. The objective of this exploratory research is to understand the approaches to change related to diversity taken by some organizations in Québec. This qualitative research is based on a sample of nine cases. The data collected from diversity consultants was analyzed with the Nvivo software. This research made it possible to identify a set of triggers for diversity change (i.e. internal and external environmental factors of an ethical, strategic, and legal nature) while emphasizing certain distinctive elements of this particular change (i.e. nature of the change processes and the logic of imposition). A discussion is presented on the relevance of a mixed change that reflects a dynamic and complex aspect instead of a static and linear approach. It shows a co-construction approach that underpins a cultural and global change consisting of an accumulation of micro-changes taking place at a rather slow pace.
Yuriko Doi’s Teaching and Transmission of Noh and Kyōgen in San Francisco
Authors: Halebsky Judith
Published: April 2024

Yuriko Doi founded the Theatre of Yugen in San Francisco and taught American students noh and kyōgen for more than thirty years. Noh theatre, in living practice in Japan for more than six hundred years, incorporates music, dance, acting, and singing. While noh is serious and sombre, kyōgen is a comedic form traditionally performed within or between noh plays. Starting in the late 1970s, Doi’s Theatre of Yugen performed new works inspired and informed by noh as well as kyōgen in English around the US and also in Japan. Noh training ideally begins in childhood as one-on-one study with a teacher and continues into adulthood. The transmission of noh is considered to be from body (teacher) to body (student) without verbal explication. To teach students in an ensemble theatre company in California, Doi adapted aspects of the transmission process as well as aspects of the form. Doi taught the exterior qualities of movement and vocal technique and, at the same time, tried to instill a sense of noh’s interior qualities, which include time, aesthetic intensity, and art practice as a life path. While teaching noh and kyōgen, Doi wants her students to draw from all of their training and influences. She explains that trying to hide other performance traditions held in the body, such as Western acting technique, will deflate the energy of a performance. She argues that if an actor can develop a complex sense of noh they can integrate it with all of the other knowledge structures in the body, which will lead to a masterful performance. Based on a series of interviews with Doi, the treatises of noh founder Zeami Motokiyo, and recent scholarship on noh, this essay examines the practice and transmission of noh and how the art is continued and revised through Doi’s work.
Performing Everyday Things: Ecosomatic Threads of Butoh, Phenomenology, and Zen
Authors: Fraleigh Sondra
Published: April 2024

This essay engages descriptive, experiential methods of phenomenology, prompts from butoh, and insights of Zen Buddhism. Butoh is the dance and theatre form that arose from the ashes of Japan in the shadow of ecological and social crisis after the Second Word War. It is interpreted widely in current forms that extend well beyond the borders of Japan. The everyday is articulated in the phenomenology of Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, particularly through concepts of “worlding,” how our works ripple out to create a world, as phenomenology and Zen both hold, each in their own way. I write about butoh through a prism of Zen and phenomenology because they share similar philosophical outlooks on performance, and they explain everyday things. In articulating performance of the everyday, this essay takes an ecosomatic turn inward toward matters of consciousness and perception. The writing stems from my participation in butoh as a student, performer, and scholar since 1985, my university teaching of dance and somatics, and my philosophical and lived investigations of phenomenology and Buddhism. Through phenomenology, the essay is descriptive, performative, and concerned with “lived experience,” including how features of experience appear and transform in consciousness.

This essay thinks through the journey of being and becoming a character, as it is repeated over decades, focusing on the experience of the author performing his monologue Los Nueve Monstruos (itself based on a poem by Cesar Vallejo). The repeated performance of this monologue over three decades becomes a way of feeling and registering the change of the body and self through the iterative taking-form of a character. The essay reflects upon the changes produced in both the character and the performer during those many encounters over the years, first in Putumayo with the Kamentsa Indigenous peoples, then over the Andes to Colombia’s capital city of Bogotá, and across both the Atlantic and Pacific to Europe and Asia. Embodied encounters of the performer/author with the Noh tradition of Japan and Zeami’s philosophical approach to performance transforms Los Nueve Monstruos—moving from the approximation of the idea of a character to the notion of no-character, a concept of transition that focuses on the vibratory quality and sounding experience of “in-provisation.”
Yoshida Ami’s Onkyō and the Persistently "Japanese" Body: Making (Electro)voice Sound
Authors: Jude Gretchen
Published: April 2024

This essay examines the experimental vocal and electronic work of Yoshida Ami in the context of the Japanese onkyō movement of the turn of the millennium, developing the concept of “plasmatic voice” that addresses the assemblage of embodied vocal performance through audio technology. Understanding vocal performance as it circulates globally through digital media networks must be perforce include transcultural analysis of race, culture, and gender, as well as other salient identity categories dependent on context. The essay also closely examines common metaphors for audio devices (such as microphones) as part of a programmatic attempt to listen deeply to human and nonhuman sounding without relying on the normative human body as the centre of analysis. Instead, a process-based approach following Jasbir Puar’s combining of intersectionality alongside assemblage theory is undertaken.
Neural correlates of perceptual similarity masking in primate V1

Visual detection is a fundamental natural task. Detection becomes more challenging as the similarity between the target and the background in which it is embedded increases, a phenomenon termed ‘similarity masking’. To test the hypothesis that V1 contributes to similarity masking, we used voltage sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) to measure V1 population responses while macaque monkeys performed a detection task under varying levels of target-background similarity. Paradoxically, we find that during an initial transient phase, V1 responses to the target are enhanced, rather than suppressed, by target-background similarity. This effect reverses in the second phase of the response, so that in this phase V1 signals are positively correlated with the behavioral effect of similarity. Finally, we show that a simple model with delayed divisive normalization can qualitatively account for our findings. Overall, our results support the hypothesis that a nonlinear gain control mechanism in V1 contributes to perceptual similarity masking.

Granulomas are defined by the presence of organized layers of immune cells that include macrophages. Granulomas are often characterized as a way for the immune system to contain an infection and prevent its dissemination. We recently established a mouse infection model where Chromobacterium violaceum induces the innate immune system to form granulomas in the liver. This response successfully eradicates the bacteria and returns the liver to homeostasis. Here, we sought to characterize the chemokines involved in directing immune cells to form the distinct layers of a granuloma. We use spatial transcriptomics to investigate the spatial and temporal expression of all CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors within this granuloma response. The expression profiles change dynamically over space and time as the granuloma matures and then resolves. To investigate the importance of monocyte-derived macrophages in this immune response, we studied the role of CCR2 during C. violaceum infection. Ccr2–/– mice had negligible numbers of macrophages, but large numbers of neutrophils, in the C. violaceum-infected lesions. In addition, lesions had abnormal architecture resulting in loss of bacterial containment. Without CCR2, bacteria disseminated and the mice succumbed to the infection. This indicates that macrophages are critical to form a successful innate granuloma in response to C. violaceum.

Introduction: Antiseptic agents used in periodontics as anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis agents are primarily chemical substances such as Bis-biguanide derivatives (chlorhexidine) or essential oils. Herbal derivatives have gained prominence in the recent past due to their activity against putative periodontal pathogens; however, only a few have achieved commercialisation. This study focusses on determining the efficacy of an extract from a widely available herb, Indian mintPlectranthus Amboinicus Methanolic extract (PAM), which has known anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties against periodontal pathogens in-vitro. Aim: To assess the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and anti-biofilm property of PAM solvent extract against pure strains of putative periodontal pathogens, namely Porphyromonas gingivalis (American Type Culture Collection-ATCC 33277), Fusobacterium nucleatum (ATCC 25586), and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (ATCC 43718). Materials and Methods: The extract of PA was prepared using methanol and a Soxhlet extractor. An in-vitro analysis of the MIC and anti-biofilm efficacy of the extract was performed against standard strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Fusobacterium nucleatum using the broth dilution method and microtitre-crystal violet assay, respectively. The MIC activity of the PAM extracts was compared with Chlorhexidine as a standard. Results: The MIC value of P. amboinicus extract was nearly similar to Chlorhexidine as assessed by the broth dilution method. The MIC of P. amboinicus extract for A.a and P.g was 0.4 ug/mL, F.n was 0.8 ug/mL, and the Chlorhexidine values against all three periodontal pathogens were 0.2 ug/mL. The anti-biofilm activity of The extract of PAMwas evaluated using the microtitrecrystal violet assay, and the Optical Density (OD) values were reduced after exposure to the extract, with a significant reduction (p<0.001) of the biofilm-forming bacteria observed. Conclusion: The methanol extract of PAM demonstrated a noteworthy MIC, exhibiting effectiveness at a low concentration of 0.4 μg/mL against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in three repeated trials. Moreover, this extract displayed significant inhibitory effects on the biofilm formation of periodontal pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Pg, Aa, Fn), suggesting its potential as an alternative to conventional chemical anti-microbials.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2020-21, at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Polasa, Jagtial, PJTSAU to study the effect of paddy straw burning and incorporation on soil organic carbon, total carbon and nitrogen and soil C:N ratio. The results of the investigation reported that incorporation of paddy straw whose C:N ratio was 71:1 showed that soil organic carbon was significantly higher under paddy straw incorporated treatments. Total carbon content of soil in paddy straw burnt treatments was 1.07 times higher than initial and in paddy straw incorporated treatments 1.51 times higher over initial was observed. Soil total nitrogen decreased with crop duration. At harvest soil total nitrogen was 2606 kg ha-1, 2693 kg ha-1 and 1931 kg ha-1 in paddy straw burning, paddy straw incorporation without phosphorus, paddy straw incorporation with phosphorus respectively. C:N ratio of soil is not influenced by paddy straw management options, nitrogen levels and the interaction between them.

The mixed solvent approach has been demonstrated as a promising method to modify nanomorphology in polymer solar cells. This work aims to understand the unique role of the additive in the mixture solvent and how the optimized nanoscale phase separation develops laterally and vertically during the non‐equilibrium spin‐coating process. We found the donor/acceptor components in the active layer can phase separate into an optimum morphology with the additive. Supported by AFM, TEM and XPS results, we proposed a model and identified relevant parameters for the additive such as solubility and vapor pressures. Other additives are discovered to show the ability to improve polymer solar cell performance as well.
