Application of SAR Data for Tropical Cyclone Intensity Parameters Retrieval and Symmetric Wind Field Model Development
Authors: Gao Yuan , Zhang Jie , Sun Jian , Guan Changlong
Published: July 2021

The spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an effective tool to observe tropical cyclone (TC) wind fields at very high spatial resolutions. TC wind speeds can be retrieved from cross-polarization signals without wind direction inputs. This paper proposed methodologies to retrieve TC intensity parameters; for example, surface maximum wind speed, TC fullness (TCF) and central surface pressure from the European Space Agency Sentinel-1 Extra Wide swath mode cross-polarization data. First, the MS1A geophysical model function was modified from 6 to 69 m/s, based on three TC samples’ SAR images and the collocated National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stepped frequency microwave radiometer wind speed measurements. Second, we retrieved the wind fields and maximum wind speeds of 42 TC samples up to category 5 acquired in the last five years, using the modified MS1A model. Third, the TCF values and central surface pressures were calculated from the 1-km wind retrievals, according to the radial curve fitting of wind speeds and two hurricane wind-pressure models. Three intensity parameters were found to be dependent upon each other. Compared with the best-track data, the averaged bias, correlation coefficient (Cor) and root mean-square error (RMSE) of the SAR-retrieved maximum wind speeds were –3.91 m/s, 0.88 and 7.99 m/s respectively, showing a better result than the retrievals before modification. For central pressure, the averaged bias, Cor and RMSE were 1.17 mb, 0.77 and 21.29 mb and respectively, indicating the accuracy of the proposed methodology for pressure retrieval. Finally, a new symmetric TC wind field model was developed with the fitting function of the TCF values and maximum wind speeds, radial wind curve and the Rankine Vortex model. By this model, TC wind field can be simulated just using the maximum wind speed and the radius of maximum wind speed. Compared with wind retrievals, averaged absolute bias and averaged RMSE of all samples’ wind fields simulated by the new model were smaller than those of the Rankine Vortex model.

Published: July 2021

Hyperspectral imagery has been widely used in precision agriculture due to its rich spectral characteristics. With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, the airborne hyperspectral imagery shows detailed spatial information and temporal flexibility, which open a new way to accurate agricultural monitoring. To extract crop types from the airborne hyperspectral images, we propose a fine classification method based on multi-feature fusion and deep learning. In this research, the morphological profiles, GLCM texture and endmember abundance features are leveraged to exploit the spatial information of the hyperspectral imagery. Then, the multiple spatial information is fused with the original spectral information to generate classification result by using the deep neural network with conditional random field (DNN+CRF) model. Specifically, the deep neural network (DNN) is a deep recognition model which can extract depth features and mine the potential information of data. As a discriminant model, conditional random field (CRF) considers both spatial and contextual information to reduce the misclassification noises while keeping the object boundaries. Moreover, three multiple feature fusion approaches, namely feature stacking, decision fusion and probability fusion, are taken into account. In the experiments, two airborne hyperspectral remote sensing datasets (Honghu dataset and Xiong’an dataset) are used. The experimental results show that the classification performance of the proposed method is satisfactory, where the salt and pepper noise is decreased, and the boundary of the ground object is preserved.

Published: July 2021

With the improvement of various space-satellite shooting methods, the sources, scenes, and quantities of remote sensing data are also increasing. An effective and fast remote sensing image retrieval method is necessary, and many researchers have conducted a lot of work in this direction. Nevertheless, a fast retrieval method called hashing retrieval is proposed to improve retrieval speed, while maintaining retrieval accuracy and greatly reducing memory space consumption. At the same time, proxy-based metric learning losses can reduce convergence time. Naturally, we present a proxy-based hash retrieval method, called DHPL (Deep Hashing using Proxy Loss), which combines hash code learning with proxy-based metric learning in a convolutional neural network. Specifically, we designed a novel proxy metric learning network, and we used one hash loss function to reduce the quantified losses. For the University of California Merced (UCMD) dataset, DHPL resulted in a mean average precision (mAP) of up to 98.53% on 16 hash bits, 98.83% on 32 hash bits, 99.01% on 48 hash bits, and 99.21% on 64 hash bits. For the aerial image dataset (AID), DHPL achieved an mAP of up to 93.53% on 16 hash bits, 97.36% on 32 hash bits, 98.28% on 48 hash bits, and 98.54% on 64 bits. Our experimental results on UCMD and AID datasets illustrate that DHPL could generate great results compared with other state-of-the-art hash approaches.
A Method for Real-Time Fault Detection of Liquid Rocket Engine Based on Adaptive Genetic Algorithm Optimizing Back Propagation Neural Network
Authors: Yu Huahuang , Wang Tao
Published: July 2021

A real-time fault diagnosis method utilizing an adaptive genetic algorithm to optimize a back propagation (BP) neural network is intended to achieve real-time fault detection of a liquid rocket engine (LRE). In this paper, the authors employ an adaptive genetic algorithm to optimize a BP neural network, produce real-time predictions regarding sensor data, compare the projected value to the actual data collected, and determine whether the engine is malfunctioning using a threshold judgment mechanism. The proposed fault detection method is simulated and verified using data from a certain type of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket engine. The experiment results show that this method can effectively diagnose this liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket engine in real-time. The proposed method has higher system sensitivity and robustness compared with the results obtained from a single BP neural network model and a BP neural network model optimized by a traditional genetic algorithm (GA), and the method has engineering application value.

Authors: Ronda Peñacoba Silvia , Fernández Gutiérrez Mar , San Román del Barrio Julio , Montero de Espinosa Francisco
Published: July 2021

Despite the use of therapeutic ultrasound in the treatment of soft tissue pathologies, there remains some controversy regarding its efficacy. In order to develop new treatment protocols, it is a common practice to carry out in vitro studies in cell cultures before conducting animal tests. The lack of reproducibility of the experimental results observed in the literature concerning in vitro experiments motivated us to establish a methodology for characterizing the acoustic field in culture plate wells. In this work, such acoustic fields are fully characterized in a real experimental configuration, with the transducer being placed in contact with the surface of a standard 12-well culture plate. To study the non-thermal effects of ultrasound on fibroblasts, two different treatment protocols are proposed: long pulse (200 cycles) signals, which give rise to a standing wave in the well with the presence of cavitation (ISPTP max = 19.25 W/cm2), and a short pulse (five cycles) of high acoustic pressure, which produces a number of echoes in the cavity (ISPTP = 33.1 W/cm2, with Pmax = 1.01 MPa). The influence of the acoustic intensity, the number of pulses, and the pulse repetition frequency was studied. We further analyzed the correlation of these acoustic parameters with cell viability, population, occupied surface, and cell morphology. Lytic effects when cavitation was present, as well as mechanotransduction reactions, were observed.
iBikeSafe: A Multi-Parameter System for Monitoring, Evaluation and Visualization of Cycling Paths in Smart Cities Targeted at Cycling Adverse Conditions
Authors: Oliveira Franklin , Costa Daniel G. , Lima Luciana , Silva Ivanovitch
Published: July 2021

The fast transformation of the urban centers, pushed by the impacts of climatic changes and the dramatic events of the COVID-19 Pandemic, will profoundly influence our daily mobility. This resulted scenario is expected to favor adopting cleaner and flexible modal solutions centered on bicycles and scooters, especially as last-mile options. However, as the use of bicycles has rapidly increased, cyclists have been subject to adverse conditions that may affect their health and safety when cycling in urban areas. Therefore, whereas cities should implement mechanisms to monitor and evaluate adverse conditions in cycling paths, cyclists should have some effective mechanism to visualize the indirect quality of cycling paths, eventually supporting choosing more appropriate routes. Therefore, this article proposes a comprehensive multi-parameter system based on multiple independent subsystems, covering all phases of data collecting, formatting, transmission, and processing related to the monitoring, evaluating, and visualizing the quality of cycling paths in the perspective of adverse conditions that affect cyclist. The formal interactions of all modules are carefully described, as well as implementation and deployment details. Additionally, a case study is considered for a large city in Brazil, demonstrating how the proposed system can be adopted in a real scenario.

Published: July 2021

The visualization of objects of an abstract nature has always been a challenge for chemistry learners. Thus, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been heavily invested in as immersive learning methods for these concepts. This study targets the segment of the chemistry curriculum involving the chemical elements of the periodic table. For this purpose, we developed the AR educational tool called MicroWorld. This Arabic educational AR app was developed in unity with Vuforia SDK. Using MicroWorld, students can visualize chemical elements microstructures in 3D, see 3D models of the elements in their substantial forms, and combine two chemical elements to see how certain chemical compounds can be formed. In this work, MicroWorld’s usability was evaluated by junior high school students and chemistry teachers using the Arabic system usability scale (A-SUS). The A-SUS average score was 71.5 for junior high school students, while the scale for teachers reached 76. This research aims to design, develop, and evaluate the AR app, MicroWorld. This app was built and evaluated through the lens of the design science research paradigm.
Sterile Neutrinos as Dark Matter: Alternative Production Mechanisms in the Early Universe
Authors: Boyanovsky Daniel
Published: July 2021

We study various production mechanisms of sterile neutrinos in the early universe beyond and within the standard model. We obtain the quantum kinetic equations for production and the distribution function of sterile-like neutrinos at freeze-out, from which we obtain free streaming lengths, equations of state and coarse grained phase space densities. In a simple extension beyond the standard model, in which neutrinos are Yukawa coupled to a Higgs-like scalar, we derive and solve the quantum kinetic equation for sterile production and analyze the freeze-out conditions and clustering properties of this dark matter constituent. We argue that in the mass basis, standard model processes that produce active neutrinos also yield sterile-like neutrinos, leading to various possible production channels. Hence, the final distribution function of sterile-like neutrinos is a result of the various kinematically allowed production processes in the early universe. As an explicit example, we consider production of light sterile neutrinos from pion decay after the QCD phase transition, obtaining the quantum kinetic equation and the distribution function at freeze-out. A sterile-like neutrino with a mass in the keV range produced by this process is a suitable warm dark matter candidate with a free-streaming length of the order of few kpc consistent with cores in dwarf galaxies.
Is There an Association between Childhood Obesity and Pediatric Kidney Stone Disease? A Literature Review
Authors: Paiste Henry J. , Moradi Luke , Assimos Dean G. , Wood Kyle D. , Dangle Pankaj P.
Published: July 2021

Objectives: To examine the most recent literature and published science in determining any and all possible associations between pediatric obesity and pediatric urolithiasis. Methods: Retrospective literature review of pediatric stone formers with diagnosed stone disease and all associated risk factors. Peer-reviewed, published manuscripts from the past several decades were analyzed for risk factors associated with pediatric obesity such as diet, hypertension, and renal diseases. Comparing the pediatric obesity literature with the pediatric stone forming literature, any associations and correlations were derived and analyzed. Results: Despite the existing evidence that obesity is linked to stones in adults, the evidence remains unclear whether obesity plays a role in children. Nutritional discrepancies, in the setting of the obesity epidemic, have been shown to alter the risk profile of pediatric patients. Consistent with the published literature, and lack of consistent correlation with obesity and stone disease, is the knowledge that age, gender, geography, and climate may all play a role in the onset of pediatric obesity and may also be on the causal pathway toward pediatric urolithiasis. Conclusion: The manuscript demonstrates that there are a number of risk factors, congenital or acquired, that are associated with pediatric obesity. The mechanisms responsible for these associations may be on the causal pathway toward childhood urolithiasis. These mechanisms that underlie these associations need to be further investigated.
A Spatially Explicit Crop Yield Model to Simulate Agricultural Productivity for Past Societies under Changing Environmental Conditions
Authors: Van Loo Maarten , Verstraeten Gert
Published: July 2021

Most contemporary crop yield models focus on a small time window, operate on a plot location, or do not include the effects of the changing environment, which makes it difficult to use these models to assess the agricultural sustainability for past societies. In this study, adaptions were made to the agronomic AquaCrop model. This adapted model was ran to cover the last 4000 years to simulate the impact of climate and land cover changes, as well as soil dynamics, on the productivity of winter wheat crops for a Mediterranean mountain environment in SW Turkey. AquaCrop has been made spatially explicit, which allows hydrological interactions between different landscape positions, whilst computational time is kept limited by implementing parallelisation schemes on a supercomputer. The adapted model was calibrated and validated using crop and soil information sampled during the 2015 and 2016 harvest periods. Simulated crop yields for the last 4000 years show the strong control of precipitation, while changes in soil thickness following erosion, and to lesser extent re-infiltration of runoff along a slope catena also have a significant impact on crop yield. The latter is especially important in the valleys, where soil and water accumulate. The model results also show that water export to the central valley strongly increased (up to four times) following deforestation and the resulting soil erosion on the hillslopes, turning it into a marsh and rendering it unsuitable for crop cultivation.
Towards Regional Scale Stormwater Flood Management Strategies through Rapid Preliminary Intervention Screening

Published: July 2021

This paper presents the advantages and opportunities for rapid preliminary intervention screening to enhance inclusion of green infrastructures in regional scale stormwater management. Stormwater flooding is widely recognised as a significant and worsening natural hazard across the globe; however, current management approaches aimed at the site scale do not adequately explore opportunities for integrated management at the regional scale at which decisions are made. This research addresses this gap through supporting the development of stormwater management strategies, including green infrastructure, at a regional scale. This is achieved through upscaling a modelling approach using a spatially explicit inundation model (CADDIES) coupled with an economic model of inundation loss (OpenProFIA) to support widescale evaluation of green infrastructure during the informative early-stage development of stormwater management strategies. This novel regional scale approach is demonstrated across a case study of the San Francisco Bay Area, spanning 8300 sq km. The main opportunity from this regional approach is to identify spatial and temporal trends which are used to inform regional planning and direct future detailed modelling efforts. The study highlights several limitations of the new method, suggesting it should be applied as part of a suite of landscape management approaches; however, highlights that it has the potential to complement existing stormwater management toolkits.
Modelling Infiltration Process, Overland Flow and Sewer System Interactions for Urban Flood Mitigation
Authors: Martínez Carlos , Vojinovic Zoran , Price Roland , Sanchez Arlex
Published: July 2021

Rainfall-runoff transformation on urban catchments involves physical processes governing runoff production in urban areas (e.g., interception, evaporation, depression, infiltration). Some previous 1D/2D coupled models do not include these processes. Adequate representation of rainfall–runoff–infiltration within a dual drainage model is still needed for practical applications. In this paper we propose a new modelling setup which includes the rainfall–runoff–infiltration process on overland flow and its interaction with a sewer network. We first investigated the performance of an outflow hydrograph generator in a 2D model domain. The effect of infiltration losses on the overland flow was evaluated through an infiltration algorithm added in a so-called Surf-2D model. Then, the surface flow from a surcharge sewer was also investigated by coupling the Surf-2D model with the SWMM 5.1 (Storm Water Management Model). An evaluation of two approaches for representing urban floods was carried out based on two 1D/2D model interactions. Two test cases were implemented to validate the model. In general, similar results in terms of peak discharge, water depths and infiltration losses against other 1D/2D models were observed. The results from two 1D/2D model interactions show significant differences in terms of flood extent, maximum flood depths and inundation volume.

Published: July 2021

Once the flood overtopping accident of a reinforced tailings dam occurs, it will cause great property losses and serious environmental pollution to the downstream residents. In order to further study the microscopic characteristics of the hydraulic erosion of reinforced tailings dams, considering that the beginning of reinforced tailings particles is the basis of flooding and erosion of reinforced tailings dams, in this paper, a reinforced tailings hydraulic erosion facility was used to carry out the tailings particle start-up test with reinforcement spacing of 5.0, 2.5, 1.7, 1.3, and 1.0 cm, and the influence the law of critical incipient velocity of tailings particles with different reinforcement spacing was revealed. The test results show that, the smaller the reinforcement spacing, the larger the incipient velocity of the reinforced tailings sample. Based on the sediment incipient motion theory, it is assumed that the resistance direction of particle incipient motion is opposite to the particle motion direction. A reinforcement coefficient is introduced to establish the incipient velocity formula of reinforced tailings particles. This model can provide theoretical support for the study of the hydraulic erosion rate of a reinforced tailings dam.
Effects of the “Grain for Green” Program on Soil Water Dynamics in the Semi-Arid Grassland of Inner Mongolia, China
Authors: Zhang Zhi-Hua , Peng Hai-Ying , Kong Yuhua
Published: July 2021

The Grain for Green Program (GGP) initiated by Chinese government significantly impacts mitigating environmental degradation. Soil water resources probably constrain large-scale vegetation restoration projects in arid and semi-arid regions. Characterizing soil water dynamics after the GGP’s implementation is essential in assessing whether vegetation restoration can be sustained as part of ecological restoration. In this study, four sites were selected for field investigation: original natural grassland (NG) and grassland that was reconverted from cropland 12 years (12-year site), 8 years (8-year site), and 6 years (6-year site) before. Soil water at five depths was measured continuously at 10 min intervals at four sites. The findings showed that less rainfall infiltrated a deeper soil layer as the time after restoration augmented, and the 12-year site had the shallowest infiltration depth and soil water storage. Younger restored grassland (8-year and 6-year sites) had a higher soil water content than older restored grassland (12-year site) and NG. The soil water content decreased steadily with restoration age after an immediate initial rise, and the highest soil moisture was in the 8-year site. The results suggest that soil water dynamics varied with GGP and a soil water deficit could be formed after the GGP’s implementation for 12 years in semi-arid grassland.

Changes in the quality of food eggs during storage
Authors: Krishtafovich V.I. , Krishtafovich D.V.
Published: July 2021

The article shows that under the influence of various physical, biochemical, and microbiological processes when storing food eggs, unacceptable defects can be formed, in the presence of which eggs are not subject to acceptance in commercial enterprises and cannot be sold to the consumer. This does not only deteriorate the quality of eggs and reduces their safety, but their significant shrinkage can occur, leading to a decrease in the category of eggs, especially at the end of the shelf life and expiration date. When choosing eggs, consumers should pay attention to the marking of each egg and consumer packaging, to the date of laying (or sorting) eggs, and should not hesitate to use ovoscopes and control scales installed in commercial enterprises.

Comparative commodity characteristics of goat cheese
Authors: Antonova E.V. , Andrukhova V.Ya.
Published: July 2021

In world cheese production, goat cheese accounts for an average of 2.2%, the leaders are Sudan and France (about 100 thousand tons per year), Russia — 2 thousand tons, half of which are farmer's. The peculiarity of making cheese from goat's milk is associated with its lower ability to coagulate by enzymes and producing a less dense clot. Descriptive organoleptic assessment of the quality of goat's and cow's milk cheeses did not reveal any inconsistencies, and the samples received 95 points according to the point system. Goat's cheese is sharp and slightly spicy with a creamy consistency, but not salty enough. In goat cheese, deviations of physical and chemical parameters were detected: the moisture ppm content was 12.5% less than normal, and the moisture ppm content in the skimmed substance exceeded the norm by 9%. The cost of goat cheese is about 56% higher.

Published: July 2021

The article presents the research on the development of bakery products, enriched with iodine, for school meals. Modeling of fl our mixtures for wheat bakery products of increased biological value was performed. The problem was solved by the simplex method with an artifi cial basis, which is related to numerical optimization methods for solving linear programming problems. The composition of fl our mixes for wheat bakery products is optimized for amino acid content and biological value. Bakery products made from fl our mixtures of increased biological value were made using traditional baking methods. The quality of the products was evaluated using an integrated indicator — a comprehensive quality indicator that allows to simultaneously evaluate the organoleptic, physico-chemical and energy indicators of the fi nished product. The calculations generated 18 fl our mixtures, from which 10 variants that had a biological value 5.4-9.3% higher in comparison with the control sample, were selected after the analysis. Bakery products made from mixtures 1 and 4, in which the complex quality indicator is higher by 16.3%, had the best indicators. The enriched bread "Peremenka" is a delicious and eff ective tool for normalizing metabolism, including the correction of both insuffi cient and excessive body weight.

The purpose of this article is to compare the temperature and humidity storage conditions of different types of confectionery products regulated in various legal documents, as well as to identify criteria for the end of the shelf life of certain classification subgroups. It is established that the majority of sugar and flour-based confectionery products, except for cakes and pastries, as well as roll cakes, belong to the group with a moderate temperature and humidity regime (temperature-18±3°C with relative humidity — no more than 75%). Only cakes and pastries with creams and fruit trimmings belong to the group of refrigerated goods. The result of this work is also determining the criteria for limiting shelf life or storage for different subgroups, types and varieties of confectionery products.
Arable weeds of the Scottish Borders
Authors: Braithwaite Michael , Gaskell Luke
Published: July 2021

Many years of fieldwork have led the authors to hypothesise that there is a single relatively species-rich arable weed community present across the Scottish Borders that is best expressed in broad-leaved root crops and in set-aside on imperfectly-drained soils, while the species-poor communities typically found in cereal crops are a degraded form of this. 102 samples have been studied to test this hypothesis and to search for a community typical of slightly calcareous well-drained soils. The community typical of imperfectly-drained soils has been defined and is considered to be a species-rich variant of the NVC OV13 Stellaria media-Capsella bursa-pectoris open habitat community. Species typical of well-drained soils have been shown to be scarce and not to form a distinct community, though they may well have done so in the past.
The first British record of Veronica filiformis (Veronicaceae)
Authors: Preston Chris
Published: July 2021

For almost 60 years, accounts of the history of Veronica filiformis Sm. in Britain and Ireland have described how, after an initial record in 1838, it was not recorded again until 1927, after which it spread very rapidly. An investigation of the 1838 record shows that, immediately after its publication, a leading botanist suggested that it was the species now known as V. persica (V. filiformis auct.). It is certainly far too doubtful to be accepted as the first record of V. filiformis in the wild. Once it is rejected, the history of V. filiformis in Britain and Ireland becomes much more straightforward.

El mundo urbano-regional bajo la gran transformación del Sur Global: por una renovada perspectiva multiescalar para el resto
Authors: Fernández Víctor Ramiro
Published: July 2021

Los estudios urbanos y regionales que abordan la nueva dinámica espacial bajo las transformaciones capitalistas han contemplado, deficientemente, las perspectivas macro-históricas que vinculan procesos geopolíticos y geoeconómicos globales, configuraciones macro regionales y trayectorias nacionales. La introducción de estos temas en una perspectiva multiescalarmente articulada se vuelve relevante para entender la forma en la que el proceso de transformación experimentado por el Sistema Mundo desde los comienzos de este siglo reestructura la dinámica espacial global, jerarquiza las estrategias macro regionales y nacionales, y afecta a los procesos urbanos y regionales en la periferia. Junto a observar la centralidad desplazada del Norte Global por el inédito protagonismo del Sur Global (SG), particularmente de Asia, destacamos cómo el nuevo mapa de relaciones entre las macro regiones del Sistema Mundo desafía al resto del Sur Global (Latinoamérica y África) a reorganizar una estrategia multiescalar de desarrollo. Para dar cuenta de ello, las dinámicas urbanas y regionales necesitan ser analíticamente desencapsuladas y colocadas dentro de las particularidades espaciales e históricas que asumen interpenetradamente los procesos globales, las formaciones macro regionales y las trayectorias nacionales.
Política urbana y gestión de suelo en la RMBA en la década del diez: legislación urbana, subasta de inmuebles públicos y acceso al hábitat digno
Authors: Baer Luis , Del Río Juan Pablo
Published: July 2021

El aumento de precio de la vivienda disociado de los ingresos de la población, en tanto mecanismo de transferencia y concentración de la riqueza, involucra formas de generación de rentas del suelo en las cuales el poder público asume un rol protagónico respecto a su destino y apropiación. En un contexto preeminentemente desregulado de los mercados inmobiliarios, como el que caracteriza a la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA), el uso de la propiedad inmueble como activo de inversión continúa imponiéndose por sobre el valor de uso, reforzando las históricas restricciones de acceso a un hábitat digno. Continuamente, los actores ligados al desarrollo inmobiliario innovan en sus estrategias y productos maximizando sus ganancias, mientras que el poder público adecúa la política urbana para garantizar tales negocios, desatendiendo los procesos de exclusión socio-urbana que tales dinámicas promueven y renunciando a una gestión estratégica e inclusiva del suelo urbano. En este marco, el objeto del presente artículo es analizar una serie de políticas de gestión de suelo urbano implementadas en los últimos cinco años en la RMBA, tanto en el distrito central como en las áreas de expansión urbana, a partir de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿cómo intervienen tales políticas validando esta modalidad de transferencia de riqueza?, ¿qué efectos genera en el acceso al hábitat digno? y, ¿hasta qué punto existen iniciativas que contrarresten estos procesos asociados de exclusión socio-urbana?
O espaço, o drama: vida pública e cenas urbanas do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Andrade Gomes Rafael Augusto
Published: July 2021

Nos parágrafos seguintes, discutirei, à luz de episódios da história do Grupo de Pesquisa Território e Cidadania, o conteúdo do livro Formas de la Sociabilidad. Una geografía de los espacios públicos en Río de Janeiro, organizado por Paulo Cesar da Costa Gomes e Leticia Parente Ribeiro, ambos docentes da Universidades Federal do Rio de Janeiro e coordenadores do referido grupo de pesquisa em 2019. Este artigo nasceu, em parte, como uma resposta à seguinte questão: como foram desenvolvidos os conceitos e procedimentos metodológicos das pesquisas cujos resultados foram coligidos no livro em questão? A história de um livro, segundo a hipótese que orienta este trabalho, está intrincada com a história de uma série de pesquisas que o antecederam. Portanto, para responder à pergunta de pesquisa, e em alusão às divisões de uma peça teatral, o texto apresenta em três atos a mudança progressiva nos temas e estratégias de investigação dos integrantes do Grupo de Pesquisa Território e Cidadania ao longo de duas décadas, com ênfase na produção científica de Paulo Cesar da Costa Gomes, seu mais longevo coordenador. Por fim, o último ato contém uma caracterização de cada um dos capítulos do Formas de la Sociabilidad, que, em linhas gerais, compõem um amplo projeto para o conhecimento geográfico dos espaços públicos.
Cuerpos escénicos y performáticos: memoria y subjetividad poética
Authors: Díaz Silvina
Published: July 2021

Toda representación cultural del cuerpo conlleva, de un modo más o menos explícito, un entramado de visiones de mundo, valores sociales, concepciones y saberes sobre la corporalidad y sobre la manera en que el arte los produce y los organiza. Nos proponemos indagar en algunos modos posibles en que la memoria se inscribe en el cuerpo, en el seno de prácticas performáticas o escénicas que aparecen como resultado de procesos de investigación e incorporan lenguajes de diversas artes. En ellas se sugiere la concepción de un cuerpo plural (Citro), atravesado por múltiples inscripciones, al tiempo que las escrituras corporales diseñan los territorios sociales y las cartografías políticas. Tanto en lo que se refiere a las prácticas socio- estéticas que irrumpen en el espacio público, como a aquellas experiencias escénicas en que el actor o la actriz deviene el elemento central del trabajo creativo, su cuerpo -en tanto soporte, materia y acción (Barría Jara)- continúa siendo el verdadero núcleo político y estético en el que se inscribe y se reconstruye la memoria individual y colectiva.
Investigar otros teatros: el teatro en el interior en Uruguay, un teatro invisibilizado.
Authors: Remedi Gustavo
Published: July 2021

El trabajo desarrolla una reflexión teórica a efectos de problematizar el horizonte y el objeto de los estudios teatrales —el campo o el sistema teatral, el concepto de teatro— argumentando en favor de ampliar la mirada y también flexibilizar el concepto de teatro de modo de poder abarcar otras teatralidades, otras formas de expresión teatral, diversas manifestaciones de teatro popular, como por ejemplo el teatro de carnaval, históricamente dejadas de lado por el mundo del teatro (la crítica, los investigadores, las autoridades de la cultura, etc.), y especialmente, el teatro del/en “el interior” del país, que en el caso de Uruguay ha sido larga e incomprensiblemente dejado fuera del foco y del cuadro.
El idioma del actor y la traducción infinita
Authors: Berger Laurent
Published: July 2021

Partiendo de la función de la traducción de una obra teatral para su versión escénica, indagamos en el proceso general de creación del espectáculo observando cómo el acto de traducción se multiplica y se despliega en realidad en todos los estratos de ese proceso. Concentramos esta reflexión en el trabajo del actor y su relación con el director, desarrollando el concepto de idioma interior, para analizar las diferentes operaciones de traducción que se utilizan para producir el espectáculo y su funcionamiento. Mostramos cómo esa dinámica de traducción nutre la creatividad actoral, permite penetrar el mundo interior del intérprete y genera regímenes cíclicos que transforman el trabajo de traducción en una tarea infinita.
Traducción y traslado: aquellas otras palabras en el teatro de Stoppard
Authors: Margarit Lucas
Published: July 2021

El uso de la expresión “sistema de representación” asume una variedad de posibilidades que se proyectan, incluso, fuera del plano de la palabra. De este modo se irá construyendo un entrecruzamiento de representaciones y de ecos que van dando forma a una puesta en escena y que necesita de la observación del espectador / lector para establecer dichos vínculos. En esta oportunidad nos centraremos en dos obras breves de Tom Stoppard para ver cómo pone en escena diferentes conflictos enfocados en el problema del lenguaje, de la traducción y de la representación. "Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth" son dos piezas donde el tema de la referencia en el uso particular del lenguaje lleva a establecer un hiato entre la acción, la palabra y el espectador.  Stoppard siempre estuvo interesado por los problemas surgidos por los “juegos de lenguaje” derivados de su lectura de "Investigaciones Filosóficas" de Ludwig Wittgenstein encontró en estas piezas breves una forma de representar sobre el escenario una teoría particular acerca de la palabra y de las posibilidades de comunicación.
El texto como objeto. Sobre la autonomía recuperada del texto dramático
Authors: Geerts Ronald , Cepernic Catalina
Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es teorizar acerca de la relación entre texto y puesta en escena a través de un recorrido por diferentes maneras en las que el texto es trabajado en la escena en obras de teatro flamencas contemporáneas. En este sentido, el artículo plantea que a partir de estas prácticas en la escena posdramática, el texto teatral pierde jerarquía, pero a la vez se constituye como un objeto autónomo.
La noción de virtualidad escénica en "La Poética" de Aristóteles
Authors: Reznik Carolina
Published: July 2021

La virtualidad escénica es una noción clave dentro de los estudios teatrales y, en especial, en relación al análisis del texto teatral. Modifica su carácter literario y evidencia su potencialidad escénica. A partir de ella, se conecta la instancia textual con la espectacular. Del mismo modo que el texto es parte del espectáculo, a partir de la virtualidad escénica, éste está presente en aquél.

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en identificar en La Poética y en La Retórica argumentaciones relacionadas con la “virtualidad escénica”. Esta noción es sumamente significativa porque implica una característica del texto teatral que refiere a su especificidad disciplinar. El hecho de que Aristóteles tenga en cuenta de manera explícita dicha particularidad del producto poético demuestra, por un lado, que es conocedor de dicha especificidad. Por otro, el hecho de incluirla en las recomendaciones al poeta para la correcta composición de la trama implica que el filósofo aboga por ella. Es decir, que su concepción del teatro incluye el espectáculo, no es indistinto que el producto poético se represente o no y, además, que valora dicha instancia.
Cultura del ilusionismo y ética de su práctica. Análisis de dos procedimientos cartomágicos.
Authors: Nigro Miguel
Published: July 2021

El presente trabajo es un registro de una de las etapas de la investigación en curso, centrada en el ilusionismo y la relación que éste mantiene con la dimensión material. El ilusionismo, como disciplina construida por la acumulación de conocimientos secretos, contempla tres componentes interdependientes: el contexto, el sujeto (ilusionista y espectador) y los objetos. En esta fase investigativa me focalizo en los sujetos implicados, quienes modelan a través de su comportamiento, la morfología del campo artístico del ilusionismo.

Considero oportuno analizar de qué manera y bajo qué condiciones se activa el intercambio de valores culturales en el interior de la comunidad mágica que, como artistas del entretenimiento, cumplen una clara función social. Este enfoque es apropiado para descubrir cómo se mueven los miembros implicados en el campo restringido, o sea en el seno de la hermandad de ilusionistas, y cómo se articulan con el público especializado y profano.

Otros interrogantes se encadenan a este planteo como por ejemplo cuál es la naturaleza del trabajo, qué instituciones crean sus miembros (profesionales y aficionados) en un campo cuya deóntica se fundamenta en la ética del secreto y bajo qué valores humanos se vinculan, los cartómagos en particular, con el espectador-colaborador.
Devadasi System and its Caste Dynamics
Authors: S Jeevanandam
Published: July 2021

Caste is an ‘integral component’ of Indian society.  Almost all the social groups in Indian subcontinent have their specific rites and rituals. It consolidated them within certain compartmentalized caste category. In this context, there was a custom where girl children were used to dedicate to the ‘Hindu’ temples for the religious service to the deity in the name of devadasi. The system became an important cultural element in the medieval Indian society. The system evolved with its unique functionality in the Indian tradition. The dedicated young girls came from different castes and assigned duties accordingly. However, it was not classified as a separate caste. It became an interesting historical question. This particular paper focused on the devadasi custom and its caste dynamics in the historical past.
