The Atrocity of Representing Atrocity - Watching Kevin Carter's 'Struggling Girl'
Authors: Geurts Merlijn
Published: December 2022

Taking Kevin Carter's famous photograph of a Sudanese 'Struggling Girl' as an example, this article shows by criticizing the work of photography scholar Ariella Azoulay who argues for an ethic, reparative spectatorship that focuses on the social encounters behind the photograph, how discussions about atrocity photography often result in moral debates: discussions that center around the social relations behind photography and blame the photographer, but do not take into account and criticize the photographic representation of the atrocity. By giving an overview of the afterlife of Carter's photograph, the articles shows how such a 'social' focus on photography, easily reaffirms the social inequalities that lies within the practices of atrocity photography.

Façadism, Building Renovation and the Boundaries of Authenticity
Authors: Kyriazi Evangelia
Published: December 2022

The paper presents the history and trends of façadism, with examples from around the world, including a case where the State intervened for the suspension of façadism plans after alarmed academics referred to the Supreme Administrative Court. The different practices and scopes of façadism are presented, along with the views of its supporters and adversaries. Issues of authenticity arising from façadism interventions are discussed.  Answers on whether building renovation through façadism consists of cultural preservation practice and preservation of the authenticity of a place, are sought in internationally accepted cultural heritage policy documents. These may provide solutions that could assist countries and institutions to make the right decisions regarding the conservation of architectural heritage, and confront extreme façadism practices through planning programs, legislative measures and education.
What Ever Happened to Anti-Essentialism?
Authors: McFee Graham
Published: December 2022

How should one explain the relative disappearance of a major preoccupation of English-speaking Analytical Philosophy in the late 1950s/early 1960s: an anti-essentialist response to the question, ‘What is art?’, typified in papers by Kennick and Weitz? Minimally, anti-essentialism denies the widely-held assumption that something must be in common between all the instances where (in our case) the term “[fine] art” or the concept art is rightly ascribed, in virtue of which all are called ‘art’; a stronger version urges that, in fact, there is no essence to (our example) art.
Leonardo, After 500 Years
Authors: Emison Patricia Anne
Published: December 2022

Why has Leonardo been made into a great scientist, to the discounting of his accomplishments in imagining a non-Biblical and totally catastrophic Deluge, his interest in pictograms, his dethronement of the human figure in favor of animals, plants, and flowing water? His project was to be an intellectual artist (which is not quite the same as a conceptual one). He both succeeded and failed. His contemporaries didn't take him seriously enough; our age of science has taken him too seriously; and it remains to us to re-evaluate how and in what ways he broke free of the constraining norms of his day.
Lost in Intensity

Published: December 2022

Contrary to the emotions we feel in everyday contexts, the emotions we feel for fictional characters do not seem to require a belief in the existence of their object. This observation has given birth to a famous philosophical paradox (the ‘paradox of fiction’), and has led some philosophers to claim that the emotions we feel for fictional characters are not genuine emotions but rather “quasi-emotions”. Since then, the existence of quasi-emotions has been a hotly debated issue. Recently, philosophers and psychologists have proposed to solve this debate by using empirical methods and experimentally studying differences between ‘real’ and ‘fictional’ emotions. In this paper, our goal is to assess the success of these attempts. We begin by surveying the existing empirical literature and stressing the methodological problems that plague most studies that might seem relevant to the debate, before focusing on recent studies that avoid this pitfall. We then argue that, due to conceptual problems, these studies fail to be relevant to the philosophical debate and emphasise new directions for future empirical research on the topic.
The Science of Aesthetics, the Critique of Taste, and the Philosophy of Art
Authors: McQuillan J Colin
Published: December 2022

Aesthetics is the part of contemporary academic philosophy that is concerned with art, beauty, criticism, and taste. As such, it must address metaphysical issues (distinguishing works of art from other kinds of things), epistemic problems (the experience of beauty, the standards of critical judgment), and questions of value (the difference between good and bad taste). This makes it difficult to present a coherent account of the subject matter of aesthetics. In this article, I argue that this difficulty is the result of ambiguities and contradictions that arose in disputes about the relationship between the science of aesthetics, the critique of taste, and the philosophy of art in German philosophy during the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. By reconstructing the history of these debates, I hope to shed new light on the origins of aesthetics as a discipline and to explain why its subject matter and status within philosophy are still so difficult to define.
Collective capabilities: overcoming energy scarcity through power sharing
Authors: Schiffer Anne
Published: December 2022

The research explores the intersection of social relations and energy capabilities in the Global South. Specifically, it provides insight into everyday �sharing practices� in overcoming electricity scarcity. This is based on a decade of regular immersions in a rural Gambian community which was supported by a range of qualitative methods including observations and semi-structured interviews. Findings suggest that energy capabilities can be improved at different scales in the community through sharing practices that are historically rooted in social norms and values. This is conceptualised here as collective energy capabilities for mitigating energy scarcity. However, currently sharing practices do not easily translate into sustainable and bottom-up management of collectively used or owned energy assets to achieve more systemic shifts towards democratic models of energy for all.

El término lengua extranjera se usa en Noruega53 para las lenguas extranjerasaparte del inglés ya que este último se considera más bien una segunda lenguahoy en día. En Noruega existen tres niveles en la enseñanza de lenguasextranjeras (Udir, 2006a). El nivel 1 corresponde al nivel A2 del Marco ComúnEuropeo de Referencia (Consejo de Europa, 2001). Este nivel tiene 225 horaslectivas de 60 minutos y se imparte tanto en la Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria(a partir de ahora usaré las siglas ESO), como en la secundaria no obligatoria, elbachillerato. En la ESO es optativa la asignatura de una lengua extranjera apartedel inglés, que es obligatoria desde el primer curso. Los alumnos que no escogenalemán, español o francés en la ESO tienen que cursar tanto el nivel 1 como elnivel 2 de una de estas lenguas durante los tres años del bachillerato. El nivel 2consta también de 225 horas de clase y corresponde más o menos al nivel B1 delMCER. El nivel 3 es un nivel optativo que se imparte durante el último año delbachillerato con 140 horas lectivas. Este nivel solo lo pueden cursar los alumnosque han acabado el nivel 2 durante el segundo año del bachillerato y requiere quetengan el nivel 1 desde la ESO. Este último nivel equivale aproximadamente a unB2.1 europeo.
La expresión musical como vehículo de transformación y cambio socio-político y cómo los nuevos medios han pasado a ser los principales agentes de su difusión: el caso de Calle 13
Authors: Platt Sarah V.
Published: December 2022

From their origin almost ten years ago, the Puerto Rican urban music group, Calle 13,composed by Rene Perez Joglar (Residente) and his half-brother, Eduardo Cabra Martinez(Visitante) has been characterized by a peculiar musical style that is hard to classify intoone genre- for it fuses African, Caribbean, and Latin rhythms all in one. This musicalproposal has led the group to win a total of nineteen Latin Grammy prizes, and twoGrammys- breaking the world record of these awards. However, one more important aspectthat characterizes this group is the message they send across to their public. Calle 13´slyrics are well known for their strong tone of social criticism and irreverence that hascaused them to be censored in many Latin American countries, while at the same time theirsongs have also provoked positive social changes in other nations. The purpose of thisresearch is to analyze how this group has used social media to disseminate their message. Inthis context, musical expression becomes an agent or vehicle of transformation and socialand political change for the public. Moreover, new media becomes indispensable in thespeeding up of immediate production. “The content of their lyrics holds the purpose ofcriticizing and questioning social conditioning, repression against certain subjects, theaffirmation of identity, and the establishment of rebellion as a generating mechanism ofautonomy and resistance of social beings against attempts of domination that stem fromconservative sectors of the population” (Pinedas: 2012).In this paper we will take into account the theory of cultural studies and aestheticsformulated by Andrea Huyssen, which supports central ideas regarding modernism, avantgardism,mass culture and postmodernism. Modernism was originated from a consciousstrategy of exclusion, an anguish to become contaminated by a consumerist and oppressivemass culture, and in this context, Calle 13 serves as an example of this formulation. Finally,in this paper we will also analyze the function of media spectacle, the roles assigned bymedia, and the demands of immediacy of our times. The virtual world we know is enrichedby socially constructed messages which are disseminated by new media and the sociallycharged messages of groups like Calle 13 are nurtured by the immediacy in thetransmission and reception of these messages.

The peasant culture has some peculiarities that deserve attention. This research analyzes theMexican peasant’s relation, especially the Zapatista one, with religiosity, and also theelements of this religiosity present in the Landless Workers Movement – MST – in Brazil,in the Mystical Act. The approximation is valid, since highlighting the politicization ofsuch religious symbols, in the struggle for the land, is sought, as the starting point is that thepeasant usually believes in what is divine, and passively accepts his economic and socialconditions, as if these were punishments from deities. In the analyzed cases, organized inthe struggle for the land, the symbols remain effective, but indicating a more politicizedwith the transcendental and the religious tradition.

Desarrollo local e identidad indígena
Authors: Cisternas Irarrázabal César
Published: December 2022

El desarrollo local endógeno emerge como alternativa para impulsar procesos de activación económica que impacten en una mejor calidad de vida de los habitantes de aquellos territorios marginados del desarrollo capitalista tradicional. Entre sus principales premisas se encuentra el rescatar y promover la identidad local, lo que a menudo se ha traducido en una valorización de las culturas indígenas. En este marco, el presente ensayo reflexiona críticamente sobre las concepciones de la cultura y la identidad indígena que frecuentemente se configuran en las iniciativas de desarrollo local ligadas a lo indígena. Se concluye que en muchos casos se construyen representaciones estáticas sobre la cultura que derivan en la esencialización de la identidad indígena a través de discursos sobre la autenticidad.

educação eugenista latino-americana
Authors: Roitberg Guilherme Prado
Published: December 2022

A ciência do melhoramento racial ou eugenia foi criada no final do século XIX por Francis Galton. Baseada no darwinismo social, essa ciência popularizou-se entre a influente elite intelectual latino-americana, levando à criação de organizações comprometidas com o aperfeiçoamento racial da população através do sanitarismo e do combate às “ameaças degenerativas” representadas por negros, mestiços, estrangeiros e deficientes. Amparado pela perspectiva histórica, o artigo investiga o projeto utópico-racial do movimento eugenista na América Latina nas décadas de 1920-1930. Por meio de uma pesquisa documental sobre as correspondências e publicações dos eugenistas brasileiros e argentinos, analisamos as vicissitudes do campo intelectual que permitiram o desenvolvimento do racismo científico latino-americano através da institucionalização da educação eugenista. Dialogando com a bibliografia especializada, demonstramos de que maneira tais documentos consistem em fontes fundamentais na compreensão da conexão Brasil-Argentina vislumbrada pelo movimento eugenista, bem como a permanência dessa rede de apoio intelectual ao longo do século XX.

Comparative Analysis of ARIMA and Artificial Neural Network Techniques for Forecasting Non-Stationary Agricultural Output Time Series
Authors: Awe Olushina Olawale , Dias Ronaldo
Published: December 2022

With the vast popularity of the deep learning models in the engineering and mathematical fields, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have recently attracted significant research applications in agriculture, economics, informatics and finance. In this paper, we use a deep learning method to capture and predict the unknown complex nonlinear characteristics of agricultural output based on autoregressive artificial neural network, using Nigeria as a case study. Using the proposed model, shocks in agricultural output is analyzed and modeled using data obtained for a period of forty years (1980-2019), and compared with analyses obtained from the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). This result is significant because it justifies the superiority of the hybrid ANN model over the traditional Box-Jenkins methodology for forecasting non-stationary time series. The empirical results show that the proposed autoregressive ANN model achieves an improved forecasting accuracy over the traditional Box-Jenkins ARIMA method. It is further proposed that various types of artificial neural networks would be useful in forecasting and solving relevant tasks and problems widely defined in global agricultural production.

Published: December 2022

As a result of the explosive growth of scientific knowledge and the rapid development of ICT, the world economy is undergoing crucial global changes, which are the most significant since the industrial revolution. Digitization represents the most important element of the fourth industrial revolution, enabling the connection of technology and people. The digital economy is related to the rapid onset and penetration of information and communication technologies into all areas of human activity, which also requires new perspectives on the factors affecting the development and success of the economy. We digitize information and data, digitize the processes and systems that make up the functioning of the company, and digitally transform the company and its strategy. The main task of article is to determine the digital economy in the context of digital transformation and their impact on the electronification of accounting processes in the Slovak Republic. The article defines the progress and level of development of Europe's digital competitiveness in individual EU member states using the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). The position of Slovakia and the EU is compared for the period from 2018 to 2022. Slovakia needs to create conditions for the gradual digital transformation of all sectors of the economy. Digitization is also coming to the accounting. The article also describes how the approved amendment to the Act on Accounting as of January 1, 2022 creates space for streamlining the processing and archiving of accounting records. The current change in the amendment to the Act on Accounting thus offers completely new opportunities for working with corporate accounting in relation to internal processes in the company, but also in relation to financial administration or tax authorities. All entities, this also applies to agricultural entities keeping the double entry accounting, are obliged to follow the Act No. 431/2002 Coll. on Accounting as amended.
Optimal Farm Planning and Assessment of Conventional Agricultural Practices under Alternative Scenarios Integrating Life Cycle Analysis
Authors: Tziolas Emmanouil , Ofridopoulou Konstantina , Bournaris Thomas , Manos Basil
Published: December 2022

Agricultural production and farm management are inextricable, since managerial aspects for safe and of high-quality food products have led to the development of successful production plans but multifaceted controversies as well. These controversies arise from the focus of policymakers, especially in the EU, to the environmental aspects of agricultural production, creating conflicting objectives for farmers. Energy from biomass derivatives could play a significant role in the dispute for economic and environmental sustainability in agriculture, along with the formulation of agro-energy districts. In this context, an MCDM model was developed integrating LCA data for the assessment of economic, environmental and energy sustainability regarding thirteen major crops in the Region of Central Macedonia in Greece. The model's objectives consist of maximization of farmers' gross income, minimization of emissions coming from farming practices and maximization of energy potentially coming from biomass. Furthermore, three different scenario-based directions allocate different weights to the respective objectives, creating different managerial strategies. The optimal production plan was the scenario in which the weights were allocated by goal programming. The optimal plan proposes the cultivation expansion of energy crops, tree crops, alfalfa and hard wheat to a higher degree. Moreover, a significant reduction to the cultivated areas of tobacco, rice, barley and soft wheat could lead to a potentially viable production plan.
TRACTATUS LADDER FROM A WITTGENSTEINIAN RELIGIOUS POINT OF VIEW
Authors: Spica Marciano Adilio
Published: December 2022

I propose that, in its form, it is possible to make a religious reading of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus along the lines of how Wittgenstein himself understood religion, and in particular, religious conversion. This idea could appear to be completely senseless. But we cannot forget that Wittgenstein himself said that although he did not consider himself a religious man, he could not help seeing every problem in a religious way. It is precisely this religious way of thinking that I would like to apply to the Tractatus. I begin by elucidating Wittgenstein's ideas of ​​religion, especially his notion of religious conversion. After that, I briefly describe the Tractatus, its objectives, and what happens if we climb the ladder of this work. I then show how the goals of the work and where the ladder of the Tractatus leads us take a religious form. That is, they lead to a conversion to a new way of seeing the world and language. This is similar to a religious conversion that makes us see the world in a completely different way. I conclude by discussing how such a religious perspective helps us to understand the sense of the Tractatus by making an analogy with the Wittgenstein’s ideas in relation to the role of religious doctrine.
What of proposition 2.1 after the Tractatus? Wittgenstein and the many ways “we make to ourselves pictures of facts”
Authors: Valeri Elena

In this paper I enquire 1) whether Wittgenstein retains the notion of picture after the Tractatus in a way that is more than simply an equivocation, so to speak, an ambiguous use of the term according to multiple meanings or senses; and, if so, 2) what the consequences of this might be for Wittgenstein’s understanding of philosophy as an activity of clarification. More precisely, I shall take into consideration three possible interpretations of the Tractatus’ (use of) ‘picture’ and adopt the one according to which what Wittgenstein notes in his later writings may be regarded as a fresh engagement with, redevelopment of, and variation of it. My goal is to show that Wittgenstein’s new thoughts on pictures and on the many ways "we make to ourselves pictures of facts” (TLP: 2.1) reveal a certain aspect that is not immediately evident, yet is inherent in the Tractatus’ notion of picture: pictures lie at root of the genesis and (dis)solution of linguistic-conceptual confusions and philosophical dogmatism.

Published: December 2022

El juego de posicionamiento no es patrimonio exclusivo del fútbol. De hecho, también es algo fundamental en la profesión del marketing y de la comunicación. Por un lado, las marcas juegan a posicionarse en las mentes de sus clientes (actuales o potenciales) con unas fortalezas y debilidades concretas que las diferencien de la competencia. Por otro lado, las organizaciones también se ven obligadas a posicionarse en problemáticas sociales y medioambientales con el objetivo de acercarse a sus grupos de interés en aquellos temas que más les preocupan.

The discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels that drain the CNS has prompted new insights into how immune responses develop in the brain. In this study, we examined how T cell responses against CNS-derived antigen develop in the context of infection. We found that meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses against the neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii in mice, and we observed changes in the dendritic cell compartment of the dural meninges that may support this process. Indeed, we found that mice chronically, but not acutely, infected with T. gondii exhibited a significant expansion and activation of type 1 and type 2 conventional dendritic cells (cDC) in the dural meninges. cDC1s and cDC2s were both capable of sampling cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-derived protein and were found to harbor processed CSF-derived protein in the draining deep cervical lymph nodes. Disrupting meningeal lymphatic drainage via ligation surgery led to a reduction in CD103+ cDC1 and cDC2 number in the deep cervical lymph nodes and caused an impairment in cDC1 and cDC2 maturation. Concomitantly, lymphatic vessel ligation impaired CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation, and IFN-γ production at this site. Surprisingly, however, parasite-specific T cell responses in the brain remained intact following ligation, which may be due to concurrent activation of T cells at non-CNS-draining sites during chronic infection. Collectively, our work reveals that CNS lymphatic drainage supports the development of peripheral T cell responses against T. gondii but remains dispensable for immune protection of the brain.

Background:

Procalcitonin (PCT) has been used to guide antibiotic therapy in bacterial infections. We aimed to determine the role of PCT in decreasing the duration of empiric antibiotic therapy among cancer patients admitted with COVID-19.

Methods:

This retrospective study included cancer patients admitted to our institution for COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and June 28, 2021, with a PCT test done within 72 hr after admission. Patients were divided into two groups: PCT <0.25 ng/ml and PCT ≥0.25 ng/ml. We assessed pertinent cultures, antibacterial use, and duration of empiric antibacterial therapy.

Results:

The study included 530 patients (median age, 62 years [range, 13–91]). All the patients had ≥1 culture test within 7 days following admission. Patients with PCT <0.25 ng/ml were less likely to have a positive culture than were those with PCT ≥0.25 ng/ml (6% [20/358] vs. 17% [30/172]; p<0.0001). PCT <0.25 ng/ml had a high negative predictive value for bacteremia and 30 day mortality. Patients with PCT <0.25 ng/ml were less likely to receive intravenous (IV) antibiotics for >72 hr than were patients with PCT ≥0.25 ng/ml (45% [162/358] vs. 69% [119/172]; p<0.0001). Among patients with PCT <0.25 ng/ml and negative cultures, 30 day mortality was similar between those who received IV antibiotics for ≥72 hr and those who received IV antibiotics for shorter durations (2% [2/111] vs. 3% [5/176], p=0.71).

Conclusions:

Among cancer patients with COVID-19, PCT level <0.25 ng/ml is associated with lower likelihood of bacterial co-infection and greater likelihood of a shorter antibiotic course. In patients with PCT level <0.25 ng/ml and negative cultures, an antibiotic course of >72 hr may not be necessary. PCT could be useful in enhancing antimicrobial stewardship in cancer patients with COVID-19.

A new Meckel’s cartilage from the Devonian Hangenberg black shale in Morocco and its position in chondrichthyan jaw morphospace
Authors: Greif Merle , Ferrón Humberto G. , Klug Christian
Published: December 2022

Fossil chondrichthyan remains are mostly known from their teeth, scales or fin spines only, whereas their cartilaginous endoskeletons require exceptional preservational conditions to become fossilized. While most cartilaginous remains of Famennian (Late Devonian) chondrichthyans were found in older layers of the eastern Anti-Atlas, such fossils were unknown from the Hangenberg black shale (HBS) and only a few chondrichthyan teeth had been found therein previously. Here, we describe a Meckel’s cartilage from the Hangenberg black shale in Morocco, which is the first fossil cartilage from these strata. Since no teeth or other skeletal elements have been found in articulation, we used elliptical Fourier (EFA), principal component (PCA), and hierarchical cluster (HCA) analyses to morphologically compare it with 41 chondrichthyan taxa of different size and age and to evaluate its possible systematic affiliation. PCA and HCA position the new specimen closest to some acanthodian and elasmobranch jaws. Accordingly, a holocephalan origin was excluded. The jaw shape as well as the presence of a polygonal pattern, typical for tessellated calcified cartilage, suggest a ctenacanth origin and we assigned the new HBS Meckel’s cartilage to the order Ctenacanthiformes with reservations.

Background and Aims

A microscopic image has been used in cell analysis for cell type identification and classification, cell counting and cell size measurement. Most previous research works are tedious, including detailed understanding and time-consuming. The scientists and researchers are seeking modern and automatic cell analysis approaches in line with the current in-demand technology.

Objectives

This article provides a brief overview of a general cell and specific stem cell analysis approaches from the history of cell discovery up to the state-of-the-art approaches.

Methodology

A content description of the literature study has been surveyed from specific manuscript databases using three review methods: manuscript identification, screening, and inclusion. This review methodology is based on Prism guidelines in searching for originality and novelty in studies concerning cell analysis.

Results

By analysing generic cell and specific stem cell analysis approaches, current technology offers tremendous potential in assisting medical experts in performing cell analysis using a method that is less laborious, cost-effective, and reduces error rates.

Conclusion

This review uncovers potential research gaps concerning generic cell and specific stem cell analysis. Thus, it could be a reference for developing automated cells analysis approaches using current technology such as artificial intelligence and deep learning.
The diversity, evolution, and development of setal morphologies in bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus spp.)

Bumble bees are characterized by their thick setal pile that imparts aposematic color patterns often used for species-level identification. Like all bees, the single-celled setae of bumble bees are branched, an innovation thought important for pollen collection. To date no studies have quantified the types of setal morphologies and their distribution on these bees, information that can facilitate understanding of their adaptive ecological function. This study defines several major setal morphotypes in the common eastern bumble bee Bombus impatiens Cresson, revealing these setal types differ by location across the body. The positions of these types of setae are similar across individuals, castes, and sexes within species. We analyzed the distribution of the two most common setal types (plumose and spinulate) across the body dorsum of half of the described bumble bee species. This revealed consistently high density of plumose (long-branched) setae across bumble bees on the head and mesosoma, but considerable variation in the amount of metasomal plumosity. Variation on the metasoma shows strong phylogenetic signal at subgeneric and smaller group levels, making it a useful trait for species delimitation research, and plumosity has increased from early Bombus ancestors. The distribution of these setal types suggests these setae may serve several functions, including pollen-collecting and thermoregulatory roles, and probable mechanosensory functions. This study further examines how and when setae of the pile develop, evidence for mechanosensory function, and the timing of pigmentation as a foundation for future genetic and developmental research in these bees.
