What the body remembers: An art-based exploration of embodied trauma as it relates to therapeutic practice
Authors: Flahavan Claire
Published: September 2023

Contemporary therapeutic approaches to trauma include an understanding that traumatic experiences are stored implicitly in the body and that the body may ‘narrate’ these stories through physical symptoms or bodily enactments. In this article, the author reflects on her experience as an art therapist at a specialist therapeutic unit, where she works with young people and families affected by sexual abuse and sexual violence. It weaves together reflections on various personal encounters with the performing and visual arts (outside of the therapy space) that have offered a different lens on themes that regularly surface in clinical work. A selection of images drawn from these engagements with the arts are discussed here, with reference to the endeavour in therapy to support the traumatized body towards healing and recovery.
Racial impersonation: Others in Finnish visual culture
Authors: Nestingen Andrew
Published: September 2023

The article sketches an overview of the impersonation of Black and Sámi Others in Finnish cinema and visual culture. How and why have Finnish cultural producers used blackface performance or ‘fake’ Sámi garments in their films? By connecting several historically and aesthetically disparate texts, the article makes evident an underpinning structure of racial Othering. The structure is obscured, however, by commentators who argue such Other performance is innocent and not intended to ridicule or harm. This defence maintains that it is White Finns’s power to define what counts as racism. By combining analysis of disparate examples of racial impersonation in cinema and cultural texts with critiques and defences of it, the article traces how structural racism is maintained. Study of cinema history contributes to understanding the history of structural racism.
Postcovid mentális egészséget és tanulási hatékonyságot fejlesztő edukációs program ismertetése és hatékonysága az SZTE-ETSZK hallgatóinak körében

A pandémia sokrétűen hatott életünkre. Ezen hatások közé tartozik a stresszel, hangulati élettel és kiégéssel kapcsolatos nehézségek egyre gyakoribb előfordulása is, amely a felsőoktatásban tanulókat is érinti. Célunk volt a hallgatók tapasztalataiból kiindulva képet kapni a pandémia tanulmányokra és mentális egészégre kifejtett hosszú távú hatásairól.

Longitudinális vizsgálatunkba a Szegedi Tudományegyetem Egészségtudományi és Szociális Képzési Karának hallgatóit toboroztuk (N=55). Az első vizsgálati alkalommal (T1) az alapvető demográfiai adatokon kívül saját fejlesztésű kérdéseket (online/offline tapasztalatok), standardizált kérdőíveket (Észlelt Stressz Kérdőív, Maslach Hallgatói Kiégés Skála, Megküzdési Módok Kérdőív, Beck Depresszió Rövidített Kérdőív) és saját fejlesztésű skálákat (Időmenedzsment Skála, Tanulástechnika Skála, Stresszkezelés Skála) alkalmaztunk. A résztvevőket két csoportba soroltuk. A kísérleti csoport tagjai négy héten keresztül heti két alkalommal e-mailben edukációs anyagokat kaptak, amiben a kontrollcsoport tagjai nem részesültek. A második adatfelvételkor (T2) mindkét csoporton visszamérést végeztünk egy rövidített kérdőívcsomaggal.

A kontrollcsoportban (N=31) szignifikáns javulást kizárólag az észlelt stressz mértéke mutatott a T1 és T2 időpontok összehasonlításakor (p=0,049), míg a kísérleti csoportban (N=24) több változó esetében is szignifikáns különbségek mutatkoztak. A 4 hetes program után az észlelt stressz szintje csökkent (p=0,001), a kiégés hatékonyságcsökkenés dimenziójában javulás mutatkozott (p=0,009), nőtt a céltudatos cselekvéssel való megküzdés mértéke (p=0,009), az érzelmi egyensúly keresésével történő megküzdés mértéke (p=0,032), a tanulástechnikai módszerek alkalmazási gyakorisága (p=0,001) és a stresszkezelési technikák alkalmazási gyakorisága is (p=0,022).

A megalkotott program hatékonyságát bizonyítják eredményeink, melyek a legtöbb tényező mentén pozitív irányú változást igazoltak. Érdemes lehet az online tér adta lehetőségekkel élni hasonló programokkal, akár preventív célzattal is.

Authors: Xarles-i-Jubany Gemma , Aguilera-Caballero Begona , Llueca Ciro , Martínez-Samper Pastora
Published: September 2023

En noviembre de 2021, la UNESCO aprobó su Recomendación sobre ciencia abierta, cuya aplicación hace ineludible incorporar la “cultura abierta” a cualquier política internacional, nacional, regional o institucional vinculada a la información o la investigación. Todo ello, bajo el reconocimiento explícito de la ciencia abierta como requisito para no dejar a nadie atrás en lo que respecta al acceso al conocimiento académico y a los beneficios del progreso científico. Es esta misma convicción la que llevó a la UOC a elaborar su propio Plan de acción de conocimiento abierto en 2018. El Plan, con horizonte temporal hasta el 2030, es la hoja de ruta y apuesta institucional de la UOC para convertirse en un nodo de conocimiento abierto y global, y así contribuir a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible marcados por la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas. En el quinto año de implementación, y aún con ocho años más de recorrido, en el presente artículo, las personas que han estado a cargo de impulsar el plan comparten los resultados preliminares del proceso y reflexionan sobre de qué manera su puesta en marcha ayuda a la Universidad a ser un nodo de conocimiento global, con mayor impacto social. Todo ello, desde la singularidad de ser un Plan adoptado por y para una universidad totalmente online.

Published: September 2023

With the increasing frequency of cyberattacks on Industrial Control Systems (ICS), the subject of cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) provides information about cyber adversaries, including their intentions and attack techniques. This paper analyzes the availability of open-source CTI for ICS, with a particular focus on technical indicators that can aid in detecting cyberattacks. Furthermore, this paper examines the automated integration of CTI data into SIEM systems and introduces CTIExchange as a tool that facilitates this integration by connecting Threat Intelligence Platforms with detection tools.
Forecast of pain degree of lumbar disc herniation based on back propagation neural network
Authors: Ren Xinying , Liu Huanwen , Hui Shiji , Wang Xi , Zhang Honglai
Published: September 2023

To further explore the pathogenic mechanism of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) pain, this study screens important imaging features that are significantly correlated with the pain score of LDH. The features with significant correlation imaging were included into a back propagation (BP) neural network model for training, including Pfirrmann classification, Michigan State University (MSU) regional localization (MSU protrusion size classification and MSU protrusion location classification), sagittal diameter index, sagittal diameter/transverse diameter index, transverse diameter index, and AN angle (angle between nerve root and protrusion). The BP neural network training model results showed that the specificity was 95 ± 2%, sensitivity was 91 ± 2%, and accuracy was 91 ± 2% of the model. The results show that the degree of intraspinal occupation of the intervertebral disc herniation and the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration are related to LDH pain. The innovation of this study is that the BP neural network model constructed in this study shows good performance in the accuracy experiment and receiver operating characteristic experiment, which completes the prediction task of lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging features for the pain degree of LDH for the first time, and provides a basis for subsequent clinical diagnosis.

Published: September 2023

Homogenization of pigment is the key to coloring a plastic product evenly. In this article, the tensile properties of recovered carbon black merge with low molecular weight lubricants and other compounding ingredients in the form of pigment masterbatch (PM) added in a recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) resin were evaluated. The prepared masterbatch with the varying amount and types of processing aids (A and B) was first compounded using the heated two-roll mill. Subsequently, the manually mixed masterbatch in rLDPE was put through an injection molding machine for the shaping process to produce an rLDPE pigment masterbatch composite (PMC). The tensile test was performed on the samples to evaluate the mechanical properties of the PMC. Meanwhile, the melt flow index test was executed to justify the composite flow characteristics. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and scanning electron microscopy were also carried out to analyze the PM and PMC chemical properties and their constructed surface morphology. Besides, X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to determine the changes in degree of crystallinity before and after the water absorption test. The addition of PM in rLDPE has slightly increased the rLDPE matrix tensile properties. While, the usage of more processing aid B in the PMC has turned out to secure better tensile properties compared to the addition of higher amount of processing aid A in the PMC. Interestingly, the tensile properties of all composites after the water absorption test were enhanced, suggesting that a stronger bond was formed during the immersion period.

Published: September 2023

Bio-fortification is a potential technique to tackle micronutrient deficiencies that remain. Wheat grain bio-fortification has the ability to decrease malnutrition because it represents one of the most essential staple crops. Bio-fortification is cost-effective and evidence-based sustainable technique to address malnutrition in wheat varieties possessing additional micronutrient contents. Nano-biofortification is a novel approach, enriching crops with essential nutrients in order to supplement human diets with balanced diets. The current study was designed to explore the potential role of phytogenic iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) to enhance nutritional contents in wheat plants to fulfill the nutrient deficiency important for human and animal health. In the current study, Fe-NPs were fabricated by using the extract of Mentha arvensis L. that were irregular in shape with an approximate size range of 40–100 nm. Further, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses were deployed to confirm the presence of t of various functional groups involved in the green and eco-friendly fabrication of Fe-NPs. The effects of phytogenic Fe-NPs were examined on various physiological and biochemical parameters such as total proline, total chlorophyll, carbohydrates, protein, crude fibers, and lipids contents. Moreover, wheat physiological and biochemical profiling was carried out, and it was noticed that Fe-NPs significantly altered the physico-biochemical profiling of wheat plants. Multiple methods of administration of Fe-NPs were used to fortify the wheat crop. However, the Fe-NPs assisted seed priming along with foliar applications at various concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mg·L−1) were found more suitable to enhance the contents of proline, Chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, carbohydrate, proteins, fibers, and lipids (20.22%, 18.23%, 17.25%, 16.32%, 12.34%, 24.31%, 19.52%, and 11.97%, respectively) in wheat plants. Further, wheat flour was exposed to digestive enzymes, with the iron content gradually increased in a dose-dependent manner. The nutritional analysis of wheat zinc (Zn), molybdenum (Mo), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), yttrium (Y), and copper (Cu) and the fatty acid profile have demonstrated divergent patterns of behavior. Similarly, iron content was also increased significantly in response to the exposure to Fe-NPs.
Sweden’s multilingual language policy through the lens of Turkish-heritage family language practices and beliefs
Authors: Bohnacker Ute
Published: September 2023

This study explores the language maintenance efforts of Turkish heritage-speaker families in Sweden and their relation to state-level language policy from three angles. First, Swedish mainstream language ideology is described as it manifests in legislation, language policy and mother-tongue tuition. Then, the language practices of the families of 105 Turkish/Swedish children (age four to seven) are characterised via a questionnaire survey. This is complemented by findings from a follow-up study two years later, where ten of the families participated in interviews and home observations. Parents preferred to speak Turkish and wanted their child to learn and speak Turkish alongside Swedish. Another common denominator was the children’s early, extensive preschool attendance. Parent-child interaction was predominantly Turkish, although second-generation parents raised in Sweden reported higher uses of the majority language Swedish. Exposure to Swedish increased over time due to schooling, sibling interaction and media use, but third-generation children still spoke Turkish to a considerable degree. In their heritage-language maintenance efforts, many parents enlisted the support of grandparents, mother-tongue tuition, and literacy activities. Parents generally considered Turkish and Swedish equally important and showed low levels of anxiety regarding their children’s bilingualism, unlike what has been reported in studies of the same ethnolinguistic group in other national settings. The interviews revealed that parents who consulted Swedish health professionals and teachers were advised to speak and support the heritage language (Turkish) and maximise exposure to it in the home. Whilst unusual from an international perspective, this is in line with the official multilingual language ideology in Sweden.
From (in)securitisation to conviviality: the reconciliatory potential of participatory ethnography
Authors: Heltai János Imre
Published: September 2023

Racialised bilinguals experience marginalisation all over the world. In South-East Europe, millions of bilingual Roma share this experience alongside emerging aspirations of conviviality, which remain rare. This paper considers marginalisation as a consequence of (in)securitisation. The concept of (in)securitisation addresses discursive techniques of power which advocate the protection of some at the price of excluding others. These discursive techniques are exerted on different levels of social interaction, creating and maintaining uncertainty. The paper discusses individual aspirations to conviviality, or peaceful cohabitation, in (in)securitised local realities in a town in Hungary, where 20 % of the population are bilingual Roma. Furthermore, it explores whether the leveraging of translingual practices can be an effective tool for conviviality. The argument is based on long-term field research, and the data used comes from a series of participatory workshops, attended by academic non-local and local participants. Using the method of Moment Analysis to understand workshop discussions, the article focuses on the ways in which participants negotiate the dependencies of (in)securitisation while trying to forge convivial capabilities. Experience shows that acts of (in)securitisation and racialised social roles define relations even within the research group, and only certain types of capabilities considered convivial are suitable to override them.
(De-)Monstering COVID-19: a diachronic study of COVID-19 virus multimodal metaphors in Philippine editorial cartoons, 2019–2022
Authors: Manalastas Nicko Enrique Lanuzo
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has been studied extensively through the lens of conceptual metaphor theory. However, only one study has focused on the metaphorization of the COVID-19 pandemic in a strictly Philippine milieu. None so far has published on pandemic- related multimodal metaphors in Philippine media, let alone shed light on these through a diachronic perspective. Using conceptual metaphor theory and visual metaphor identification procedure, this study analysed 203 pandemic-related editorial cartoons published by a Philippine national publication from December 2019 to February 2022. It investigated the diachronic conceptualizations of the conceptual domain COVID-19 VIRUS in the Philippines as captured by the neutralizing or ‘de-monstering’ of the virus from the COVID-19 IS A MONSTER to the COVID-19 IS A LIVING ENTITY multimodal metaphor. It argued that the trends of metaphorization correlate with the shifting sociocultural and political attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic as a global and local healthcare crisis. Essentially, this study not only explored the dynamics between media and cognition, but it also analysed how the multimodal metaphorizations of COVID-19 reflect Filipino socio-political realities and cultural underpinnings during turbulent times.
Antinaturalistische Strategien in Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Authors: Guerreschi Luca
Published: September 2023

Antinaturalistic Strategies in
Beyond Good and Evil
. Naturalistic interpretations of Nietzsche’s thought ultimately appeal to two arguments. On the one hand, when tracing various human phenomena back to processes sufficiently explicable by the natural sciences, it would appear that Nietzsche was pursuing a de facto naturalization program. On the other hand, in BGE 230, the need for the naturalization of human beings as a whole is often interpreted as an argument de jure. After outlining some basic features of contemporary naturalism and showing its incompatibility with Nietzsche’s philosophy, I argue in this paper that neither the de jure nor the de facto argument can be understood in a naturalistic sense. The task of “translating man back into nature” in BGE 230 is indeed turned against a point of view held by “old metaphysical bird-catchers.” An analysis of the manuscript and a comparison of it with the preface to HH I, in which this figure is used in the opposite sense, suggests rather that Nietzsche conceives of the renaturalization of the human in a deceptive way, that is, as one of those numerous “snares and nets for unwary birds” scattered throughout his works. Widening this view, a similar dynamic arises with respect to the de facto argument. In the concluding section, I highlight how, in On the Prejudices of Philosophers, certain naturalization operations are countered by as many arguments to the contrary. Such sudden shifts in perspective seem to indicate, at least in Beyond Good and Evil, a desire to subvert naturalism from within.

Published: September 2023

Objectives

This is the first UK trial of pressurised intraperitoneal aerosolised chemotherapy (PIPAC) for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases. This trial aimed to assess the impact of PIPAC in combination with standard of care systemic treatment on: progression free survival (PFS); quality of life (QoL); and short-term complications. In addition, this trial set out to demonstrate that PIPAC can be performed safely in operating theatres within a National Health Service (NHS) setting.

Methods

Single-centre clinical trial with prospective data collection for patients undergoing 8-weekly PIPAC with oxaliplatin at 92 mg/m2 from January 2019 till January 2022. Progression free survival was assessed using peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) by CT scans and laparoscopy. Quality of life was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Adverse events were recorded using CTCAE.

Results

Five patients underwent a total of ten PIPAC administrations (median 2, range 1–4). Median PFS was 6.0 months. QoL was maintained across repeat PIPAC procedures but a decrease in social functioning and increased fatigue were evident. Three incidences of grade 3 adverse events occurred but PIPAC was well tolerated.

Conclusions

The presented data demonstrates that PIPAC is feasible and can be safely delivered within the NHS for patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases, but caution must also be exercised given a risk of adverse events. Systemic chemotherapy can be safely administered at a different unit to the PIPAC procedure if both groups have clear lines of communication and timely data sharing.
Distinct Patterns of Connectivity between Brain Regions Underlie the Intra-Modal and Cross-Modal Value-Driven Modulations of the Visual Cortex
Authors: Antono Jessica Emily , Dang Shilpa , Auksztulewicz Ryszard , Pooresmaeili Arezoo
Published: September 2023

Past reward associations may be signaled from different sensory modalities; however, it remains unclear how different types of reward-associated stimuli modulate sensory perception. In this human fMRI study (female and male participants), a visual target was simultaneously presented with either an intra- (visual) or a cross-modal (auditory) cue that was previously associated with rewards. We hypothesized that, depending on the sensory modality of the cues, distinct neural mechanisms underlie the value-driven modulation of visual processing. Using a multivariate approach, we confirmed that reward-associated cues enhanced the target representation in early visual areas and identified the brain valuation regions. Then, using an effective connectivity analysis, we tested three possible patterns of connectivity that could underlie the modulation of the visual cortex: a direct pathway from the frontal valuation areas to the visual areas, a mediated pathway through the attention-related areas, and a mediated pathway that additionally involved sensory association areas. We found evidence for the third model demonstrating that the reward-related information in both sensory modalities is communicated across the valuation and attention-related brain regions. Additionally, the superior temporal areas were recruited when reward was cued cross-modally. The strongest dissociation between the intra- and cross-modal reward-driven effects was observed at the level of the feedforward and feedback connections of the visual cortex estimated from the winning model. These results suggest that, in the presence of previously rewarded stimuli from different sensory modalities, a combination of domain-general and domain-specific mechanisms are recruited across the brain to adjust the visual perception.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTReward has a profound effect on perception, but it is not known whether shared or disparate mechanisms underlie the reward-driven effects across sensory modalities. In this human fMRI study, we examined the reward-driven modulation of the visual cortex by visual (intra-modal) and auditory (cross-modal) reward-associated cues. Using a model-based approach to identify the most plausible pattern of inter-regional effective connectivity, we found that higher-order areas involved in the valuation and attentional processing were recruited by both types of rewards. However, the pattern of connectivity between these areas and the early visual cortex was distinct between the intra- and cross-modal rewards. This evidence suggests that, to effectively adapt to the environment, reward signals may recruit both domain-general and domain-specific mechanisms.
Negative Emotions Recruit the Parabrachial Nucleus Efferent to the VTA to Disengage Instrumental Food Seeking

Published: September 2023

The parabrachial nucleus (PBN) interfaces between taste and feeding systems and is also an important hub for relaying distress information and threats. Despite that the PBN sends projections to the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a heterogeneous brain region that regulates motivational behaviors, the function of the PBN-to-VTA connection remains elusive. Here, by using male mice in several behavioral paradigms, we discover that VTA-projecting PBN neurons are significantly engaged in contextual fear, restraint or mild stress but not palatable feeding, visceral malaise, or thermal pain. These results suggest that the PBN-to-VTA input may relay negative emotions under threat. Consistent with this notion, optogenetic activation of PBN-to-VTA glutamatergic input results in aversion, which is sufficient to override palatable feeding. Moreover, in a palatable food-reinforced operant task, we demonstrate that transient optogenetic activation of PBN-to-VTA input during food reward retrieval disengages instrumental food-seeking behaviors but spares learned action–outcome association. By using an activity-dependent targeting approach, we show that VTA DA neurons are disengaged by the PBN afferent activation, implicating that VTA non-DA neurons may mediate PBN afferent regulation. We further show that optogenetic activation of VTA neurons functionally recruited by the PBN input results in aversion, dampens palatable feeding, and disengages palatable food self-administration behavior. Finally, we demonstrate that transient activation of VTA glutamatergic, but not GABAergic, neurons recapitulates the negative regulation of the PBN input on food self-administration behavior. Together, we reveal that the PBN-to-VTA input conveys negative affect, likely through VTA glutamatergic neurons, to disengage instrumental food-seeking behaviors.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe PBN receives multiple inputs and thus is well positioned to route information of various modalities to engage different downstream circuits to attend or respond accordingly. We demonstrate that the PBN-to-VTA input conveys negative affect and then triggers adaptive prioritized responses to address pertinent needs by withholding ongoing behaviors, such as palatable food seeking or intake shown in the present study. It has evolutionary significance because preparing to cope with stressful situations or threats takes priority over food seeking to promote survival. Knowing how appropriate adaptive responses are generated will provide new insights into circuitry mechanisms of various coping behaviors to changing environmental stimuli.
On Listening, Talking, and Silence
Authors: Herzog Amy
Published: September 2023

Elisabeth Subrin’s Maria Schneider, 1983 (2022) and Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea (2022) both use reenactment to reflect on their subjects (Maria Schneider and Andrea Dworkin), women whose artistic and political lives were highjacked by sexual assault. Subrin and Parmar deploy performance in unconventional ways, casting multiple actresses from diverse backgrounds, experimenting with temporal layering, and drawing on unconventional audiovisual archives. There is a core tension, in both projects, between the particularities of embodied experience and the pervasive narratives of violence, trauma, and misogyny that repeat across time. Yet these works use reenactment to reach markedly different conclusions about identity, history, and artistic praxis. Equally striking are the interventions each film makes into feminist history, fashioning explicit and distinct connections between the legacies of the women they depict and a fractious political present.
Beyond Memory
Authors: Palacios José Miguel
Published: September 2023

The introduction situates the Special Focus section “Chilean Film and Media: Fifty Years Later (1973/2023)” in its historical and cultural context. The year 2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the coup that toppled the socialist government of Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973. To reflect on the role of film and media in relation to the coup demands a move away from mere commemoration and, more broadly, from memory studies as the overarching critical framework that has dominated studies of Chilean cinema. This Special Focus section seeks to move beyond memory without neglecting the duty to remember. It is a project of reactivation, reappropriation, and repoliticization of the cinematic memory of the coup. This approach favors continuities between films made throughout the last five decades under different historical moments—the socialist years of Allende, the dictatorship, the postdictatorship, and the estallido social (social uprising) of October 2019.
The Other Replacement Theory
Authors: Wanzo Rebecca
Published: September 2023

With the success of M3GAN (Gerard Johnstone, 2023) and unfolding conversations about Artificial Intelligence (AI) informing the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, FQ columnist Rebecca Wanzo explores the question of labor in the AI film. Noting the limited repertoire of AI representations in television and film, Wanzo asks why so few AI stories go beyond familiar narratives to instead explore the complexities of constructing a laboring future in a world with AI. Drawing upon examples ranging from Metropolis (1927) to Wall-E (2008), Wanzo finds reason for both optimism and pessimism about AI and workers’ lives.

Published: September 2023

Film Quarterly editor and veteran critic B. Ruby Rich reports from the 2023 edition of the Cannes Film Festival. She notes that the gap between outside perception and insider experience of the Festival was profound, as bad weather and ticketing woes meant that the advice most often shared was the bromide “If you’re not feeling humiliated, you’re not at Cannes.” Nonetheless, Rich reports on a satisfying array of films, both from known auteurs including Todd Haynes, Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Kleber Mendonça Filho and new discoveries such as the Georgian film Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry from director Elene Naveriani and the animated Robot Dreams by Pablo Berger.
Remember Me: Vocal Cadenzas as Mementos in Nineteenth-Century Musical Autograph Albums
Authors: Zohn Steven
Published: September 2023

Between the 1830s and the 1880s, leading female singers such as Henriette Rossi Sontag, Laure Cinti-Damoreau, Adelina Patti, and Pauline Viardot participated in a widespread custom of inscribing original vocal cadenzas in autograph albums (also known as friendship albums, keepsake albums, alba amicorum, or Stammbücher). The appeal of album cadenzas, along with other compact inscriptions, reflects a wider Romantic fascination with remembering through small keepsakes such as miniature almanacs and annual compilations of poetry, prose, or music. Whether improvised in the presence of collectors or offered as souvenirs of earlier performances, cadenzas functioned as mementos of musical and social encounters while visually representing singers’ musical personae through performative gestures. These florid pieces also allowed female singers to exercise agency as both creative artists and curators of their public images, much like the (mostly male) composers whose musical signatures fill surrounding album leaves. As performance-practical sources, vocal cadenzas preserve rare and revealing traces of singers’ artistry; many, in fact, can be linked to specific concerts or performances of operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Rossini, Verdi, and others. In the case of Cinti-Damoreau, such music illuminates the connection between improvisation, performance, and pedagogy. The gradual disappearance of album cadenzas during the last quarter of the nineteenth century is attributable not only to a waning interest in musical improvisation generally, but also to a shift in creative authority away from singers and toward composers, particularly in the operatic realm.

Studies of the Weimar-era discourse of Gebrauchsmusik (utility music, or music for everyday use) have emphasized Heinrich Besseler’s appropriation of Martin Heidegger’s concept of knowledge gained through immediate participatory experience. Along with Germany’s musical youth movement (Jugendmusikbewegung), Besseler rejected formal concert institutions and promoted musical practices that solicited active involvement in everyday social contexts. The focus on Besseler has kept alive Theodor Adorno’s critique of the amateur movement’s claims of participatory immediacy as being illusory and allied with unreflective, exclusivist elements of National Socialist ideology. Adorno’s assimilation of the prominent Gebrauchsmusik composer Paul Hindemith to a Besselerian/Heideggerian position still informs scholarship, although this view overlooks an alternative paradigm for amateur and school music-making articulated in the late 1920s by the critic and educationist Erich Doflein. Doflein outlined a concept of Übungsmusik (practice music) by intertwining Besselerian elements with a commitment to pedagogical contexts, and by interpreting Hindemith’s compositional strategies as rewarding participants only after challenging their understanding and drawing them into deeply focused, playful activity. Übungsmusik offers a lens for reexamining Hindemith’s collaborations with the music-educational reformers Hilmar Höckner and Edgar Rabsch. Here, ongoing mutual effort formed a precondition for claims of sociomusical connectedness, claims that are further illuminated by the play-centered theory of sociability formulated by the philosophical anthropologist Helmuth Plessner. By bringing together musical knowing and doing at a fundamental level, Doflein’s paradigm is also relevant to recent methodological disputes over music’s object- and event-status.

Differences in the pyrolysis characteristics of leaves of sweet cherry tree (Prunus avium L.) under rain-shelter cultivation (RS) or under open-field cultivation (CK) were analysed using thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at three heating rates of 10, 20, and 30 °C·min-1. There were two obvious mass loss peaks at 280 °C and 330 °C, which were manifested by the slow pyrolysis of hemicellulose in the low temperature region and the rapid pyrolysis of cellulose in the high temperature region, respectively. The curve in the pyrolysis range after 440 °C was stable, and the mass change corresponded to the pyrolysis of a small amount of macromolecular organic extracts and inorganic salts. When the temperature reached 600 °C, approximately 69% and 73% of the CK and RS leaves were thermally destroyed, respectively. The Coats-Redfern method was used for kinetic calculations to obtain an activation energy of 29.8 to 36.1 kJ·mol-1 in the first-order pyrolysis kinetics stage. The second-order pyrolysis kinetics stage can fit the pyrolysis process well. A significant difference was observed in the pyrolysis characteristics or the kinetics between CK and RS, which were related to the heating rate and the hemicellulose content, cellulose content, and lignin ratio in each sample.

La fecundidad teológica de la visión realista del derecho eclesial como bien jurídico: reflexiones a partir de las doctrinas de Jiménez Urresti, Rouco Varela y Hervada
Authors: Errázuriz Carlos-José
Published: September 2023

Se estudia en qué medida el concepto de derecho-bien jurídico ayuda a comprender mejor la realidad del derecho eclesial en cuanto eclesial, o sea hasta qué punto el uso de esa noción ilumina la dimensión sobrenatural del derecho en la Iglesia. Con este fin se presentan tres concepciones del derecho canónico que ilustran la conexión entre el derecho y el misterio de la Iglesia: la de Teodoro Ignacio Jiménez Urresti, basada sobre el derecho como norma humana, la de Antonio María Rouco Varela, que concibe el derecho como estructura afirmando la índole propiamente teológica del derecho canónico, y la de Javier Hervada, tomando en consideración dos etapas de su pensamiento, la centrada en el derecho como ordenamiento-estructura y la que aplica al derecho canónico la noción del derecho como cosa justa. Se constata que esta noción realista del derecho en la Iglesia ha permitido a Hervada una más profunda comprensión de la relación de ese derecho con el misterio de la Iglesia y con la ley de la gracia que le es propia, poniendo de relieve el sacramento como derecho, la ley del Pueblo de Dios como ley para la libertad y otros aspectos fundamentales

Deposition of wax on the pipe walls is one of the complex flow assurance problems that causes a decrease and complete blockage of oil production rates by reducing the cross-sectional area of flow in the pipelines. In addition, surface facilities require higher energy consumption and failure of facilities due to wax plugging.
Effective design of oil recovery processes requires an adequate prediction of the thermodynamic conditions in which wax can precipitate from crude oil, depending on the pressure, temperature, and composition of the oil.
In this paper, the modified melting and pour point temperatures were presented based on the fluid description. Other fusion properties such as the enthalpy of fusion, the solid-state transition enthalpies, and the heat capacity of fusion have been calculated to modify the multi-solid model for predicting wax deposition.
The proposed modified equations for melting and pour point temperatures were showing reliable agreement with experimental data based on SARA analysis and demonstrated more accurate results compare to literature data.
In order to justify the proposed model, the comparative approach has been implemented between literature, experimental, and data obtained based on proposed solutions.
The detailed description of the Republic of Kazakhstan’s (RoK) oil fields, components from C1 up to C36+ has been used during this research and the most crucial components which tend to form wax precipitation from C15H32 to C20H42 were plotted, which showed an increasing accuracy of 11 % for melting point temperature and 7 % for pour point temperature compared to literature data.
As a result, the proposed modified solutions for fusion properties demonstrated good agreement with literature and obtained results of modifications can be used for further research on Multi solid model of wax precipitation

In this paper, the object of the research is the implementation of artificial neural networks (ANN) on FPGA. The problem to be solved is the construction of a mathematical model used to determine the compliance of FPGA computing resources with the requirements of neural networks, depending on their type, structure, and size. The number of its LUT (Look-up table – the basic FPGA structure that performs logical operations) is considered as a computing resource of the FPGA.
The search for the required mathematical model was carried out using experimental measurements of the required number of LUTs for the implementation on the FPGA of the following types of ANNs:
– MLP (Multilayer Perceptron);
– LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory);
– CNN (Convolutional Neural Network);
– SNN (Spiking Neural Network);
– GAN (Generative Adversarial Network).
Experimental studies were carried out on the FPGA model HAPS-80 S52, during which the required number of LUTs was measured depending on the number of layers and the number of neurons on each layer for the above types of ANNs. As a result of the research, specific types of functions depending on the required number of LUTs on the type, number of layers, and neurons for the most commonly used types of ANNs in practice were determined.
A feature of the results obtained is the fact that with a sufficiently high accuracy, it was possible to determine the analytical form of the functions that describe the dependence of the required number of LUT FPGA for the implementation of various ANNs on it. According to calculations, GAN uses 17 times less LUT compared to CNN. And SNN and MLP use 80 and 14 times less LUT compared to LSTM. The results obtained can be used for practical purposes when it is necessary to make a choice of any FPGA for the implementation of an ANN of a certain type and structure on it

The object of this study is the process that forms fill materials from crushed rock under load for managing the condition of side rocks in a coal-bearing massif with preparatory workings. Deformation properties of crushed rock under laboratory conditions were evaluated on the basis of a study of compressive compression of the fill material. It was registered that there is a quadratic functional dependence between the change in the bulk density of crushed rock of different granulometric composition and the specific potential energy of deformation. It was experimentally established that the specific potential energy of deformation reaches the limit values at the maximum compression of crushed rock when the fill material consists of parts of different sizes.
For experimental samples with different thickness of the rock layer h0 (m), there was a linear relationship between their longitudinal deformation Dh (m) and the external load F (kN), which determined the behavior of the deforming body at critical levels. Under such conditions, with a relative change in the volume of the fill material dV=0.36, that is, with the same relative deformation at any values of the parameter h0 (m) and the compaction coefficient of the crushed rock kcon=1.57, the maximum stiffness of the rock supports was ensured.
With a limited amount of external static load on the experimental samples, in the process of their deformation when the parameter h0 was reduced by 2 times before their compression, the compaction coefficient of the crushed rock increased from kcon=1.33 to kcon=1.57. At the same time, the specific potential energy of deformation increased by 40 %, which made it possible to ensure the maximum rigidity of the fill material at the minimum value of the longitudinal deformation Dh (m) of the experimental samples
