The many becoming the unresolved one: Reconciling the fields of art, research and education through a/r/tography and collage
Authors: Garcia-Lazo Veronica
Published: December 2021

A study in three secondary schools in Aotearoa New Zealand explored students’ critical thinking and how that was articulated in visual arts education. The research was motivated by the influence of everyday visual experiences on young people’s lives and the national curriculum’s call for encouraging critical thinking in the context of the students’ cultural milieu. This inquiry entailed multiple methods that included policy analysis, focus group interviews with teachers, interviews with students, classroom observations, photographic documentation and researcher engagement with the art of collage. A/r/tography allowed for the reconciliation of art, research and education and the exploration of liminal spaces through a relational inquiry. The collage process provided insights into how art making can be used as a relational device between researcher and participants that evoked findings in innovative ways. The findings are presented as entanglements of meanings aimed to provoke the imagination and open conversations.

Me dá um dinheiro aí!: estudo sobre as relações e intersecções entre publicidade e criatividade para a sustentabilidade carnavalesca interiorana
Authors: Moura Eduardo Melo , Rabaiolli Janderle
Published: December 2021

Este artigo busca apresentar relações e intersecções entre três objetos principais: Carnaval, Publicidade e Indústria Criativa, com o intuito de encontrar e propor soluções para o desenvolvimento e a rentabilidade do festejo em cidades não-centrais – associadas, sobretudo, à perspectiva do município de Rio Pardo (Rio Grande do Sul) -, que conjunturalmente possuem menos recursos e interesse público e privado para a sua execução. Para isso, demonstra-se a valorização da Indústria Criativa, a criatividade e o conhecimento da publicidade em hibridização como soluções para a sustentabilidade carnavalesca. A materialização deste trabalho consiste na construção de um referencial teórico, fundamentados em obras como o “Mapeamento da Indústria Criativa no Brasil” (FIRJAN, 2017), “Publicidade Híbrida” (COVALESKI, 2010) e “Cadeia Produtiva da Economia do Carnaval” (PRESTES FILHO, 2012).
Conflitos pela água no Brasil
Authors: Peixoto Filipe da Silva , Soares Jamilson Azevedo , Ribeiro Victor Sales
Published: December 2021

A gestão de recursos hídricos é a forma com o qual se busca resolver problemas de escassez relativa da água. Entretanto, a forma como os recursos hídricos estão sendo geridos no Brasil não tem mitigado ou resolvido os conflitos decorrentes; muito pelo contrário, as estruturas hierárquicas ligadas ao sistema de gestão de recursos hídricos têm fortalecido a atuação de grupos hegemônicos. Esse artigo busca entender os conflitos gerados a partir da apropriação dos recursos hídricos e sua relação com o modelo econômico mineral-agroexportador, consolidando o Brasil em uma situação desprivilegiada no contexto de subdesenvolvimento na divisão mundial do trabalho. Para isso, foram realizadas a descrição e a cartografia dos conflitos pela água no Brasil, disponibilizados pela Comissão Pastoral da Terra – CPT. A água tem sido alvo de enormes demandas para a produção de grãos e pecuária no Centro Oeste, fruticultura irrigada em vales úmidos no Nordeste semiárido, expansão do setor hidrelétrico na Região Norte do País e atividades de mineração na Bahia e Minas Gerais. Torna-se necessário promover a discussão em torno de alternativas a um modelo de crescimento que induz ao aumento da escassez hídrica e dos conflitos, e que em breve, pode resultar em graves consequências, tolhendo o direito à água limpa e a um custo acessível para parte significativa dos brasileiros.

En este estudio se evaluó en una prueba de concepto, la seguridad y funcionalidad del equipo prototipo Ciclador Automático para Resucitador (CAR) en un cerdo de peso similar al de un humano adulto. Para ello, se estudiaron los volúmenes corrientes de 5.8, 7 y 9.7 ml/kg para las presiones positivas al final de la expiración (PEEP) de 5, 10 y 15 cmH2O. Los parámetros indicativos del estado homeostático del animal se obtuvieron a través de un equipo multiparamétrico y un sistema de análisis bioquímicos de sangre EPOC®. En los periodos en los que se evaluaron los volúmenes corrientes de 7 y 9.7 ml/kg los parámetros se mantuvieron dentro de rangos fisiológicos normales. Sin embargo, el volumen corriente de 5.8 ml/kg no fue suficiente para mantener una ventilación adecuada lo que se manifestó a través de hipercapnia y caída del pH. Como conclusión general se puede inferir que con adaptaciones en los patrones de ventilación (7 y 9.7 ml/kg), la utilización del prototipo CAR permitió mantener al animal con vida durante 24 h conservando su homeostasis.
Julio De Zan intérprete de Hegel
Authors: Lopez Diana María
Published: December 2021

En la tradición de la filosofía en la Argentina, Hegel ha significado hasta nuestros días una fuente de importantes visiones sobre la naturaleza de la sociedad y la historia. La Fenomenología del espíritu resulta ser una provocación del pensamiento que encuentra en Julio De Zan (1940-2017) un intérprete privilegiado. Desde sus comienzos académicos como profesor e investigador, se interesó inicialmente por esta obra. En el contexto de este dossier dedicado a “La filosofía de Hegel en la Argentina” proponemos un análisis de dos artículos de Julio De Zan publicados en tiempos distintos: “Sentido y vigencia de la Fenomenología del espíritu (1970) y “Experiencia y praxis. Cuestiones de método en la Fenomenología del espíritu de Hegel” (2007).
La unidad de la sustancia inmaterial en Ralph Cudworth
Authors: Strok Natalia
Published: December 2021

En este artículo me propongo mostrar que en el universo armónico que propone Ralph Cudworth (1617-1688), destacado miembro del grupo de los Platónicos de Cambridge del siglo XVII, la sustancia inmaterial cumple un rol fundamental. Ella no se halla separada de la sustancia material y recibe distintos nombres de acuerdo a las funciones que desarrolla, en tanto es la única fuerza vital en la creación, fundada en la naturaleza divina. Es decir, la naturaleza plástica (plastic nature) y las almas no son más que distintos nombres para esa única sustancia inmaterial en el universo creado. Esto refleja una concepción dualista diferente al dualismo cartesiano, que tendrá consecuencias a nivel físico. Por eso, en primer lugar, presentaré la metafísica de Cudworth, para luego detenerme en la sustancia inmaterial. Para esto utilizaré su obra principal The True Intellectual System of the Universe (1678) y sus dos escritos de publicación póstuma: Treatise concerning eternal and immutable Morality (1731) y Treatise on Freewill (1838).

Quantum chemistry study on the promoted reactivity of substituted cyclooctynes in bioorthogonal cycloaddition reactions
Authors: Hosseinnejad Tayebeh , Omrani-Pachin Marzieh
Published: December 2021

In the present research, we focus on the energetics and electronic aspects of enhanced reactivity in the regioselective bioorthogonal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of various substituted cyclooctynes with methyl azide, applying quantum chemistry approaches. In this respect, we assessed the structural and energetic properties of regioisomeric products and their corresponded transition states and calculated the reaction electronic energy changes and energy barriers through the cycloaddition pathways. The obtained results revealed that the trifluoromethyl substitution and fluorination of cyclooctynes lead to improved reactivity, in conjunction with increased exothermicity and decreased activation energy values. On the other hand, quantum theory of atoms in molecules computations were performed on some key bond and ring critical points that demonstrated the stabilizing topological properties of electron density and its derivatives upon trifluoromethyl substitution and fluorination of propargylic carbon of cyclooctynes which can be regarded as the essential origin of enhanced reactivity.
Accurate estimation of modern power system harmonics using a novel LSA hybridized recursive least square technique
Authors: Bhoi Ashok , Mallick Ranjan Kumar , Panda Gayadhar , Nayak Pravati
Published: December 2021

This paper purposes a new type of hybrid technique depends on lightning search algorithm (LSA) and recursive least square (RLS) named as LSA-RLS to overcome the harmonic estimation issues in time varying modern power system signals buried with noises. LSA is based on a natural phenomenon of lightning. It consists of three types of projectiles: transition, space and lead projectiles. Transition projectiles create population, space projectiles do the exploration and the lead projectiles do the work of exploitation and find the optimal solution. The basic LSA algorithm is mixed with RLS algorithm in an adaptive way to estimate the states of the harmonic signals. Simulation and validation are made with real time data obtained from a converter fed D.C motor drive. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the simulation results of recently reported algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), bacteria foraging optimization (BFO), gravity search algorithm hybridized recursive least square method (GSA-RLS). It is verified that proposed (LSA-RLS) technique is the best in terms of computational time, convergence, accuracy.
Review of fibreless optical communication technology: history, evolution, and emerging trends
Authors: Patle Nidhi , Raj Arockia Bazil , Joseph Chinchu , Sharma Nishant
Published: December 2021

In the present era of technology, it is quite fascinating to design a system capable of transmitting information from one end to another by using the optical spectrum. This system differs from optical fibre communication in terms of channel medium. Optical fibre technology uses the end-to-end physical connection via fibre. In contrast, Light-based wireless communication networks, also known as wireless optical communication (WOC) networks or fibreless optical communication networks, use light as a carrier and air as an unguided propagation media for transmission. Fibreless optical communication eliminates the need for Licensing and Buried Fibre Cables; also, its installation is relatively easy. This survey article describes the evolution of WOC technologies right from the old methods of communication to today’s deep-space optical satellite communication. This article briefly describes the WOC system working principle, categorization of wireless optical systems (based on the carrier frequency wavelength, distance covered, and application), different modulation techniques adopted for wireless optical communication, challenges associated with channel medium and channel modelling, performance analysis of WOC system, various application areas of WOC network, commercial developments in the field of WOC, and some other emerging trends associated with WOC.
Research on Current Nonoccupational Exposure to Asbestos
Authors: Otness Pierina
Published: December 2021

Preliminary data from research being undertaken through the University of Western Australia is presented. The research data collection focused on emerging areas of potential public exposure and concern, such as asbestos-contaminated soil and aging asbestos-containing infrastructure in built environments. There is a poor understanding and increasing concern regarding the current exposure of the general Australian community to asbestos. One reason for this concern is a lack of recent data on asbestos fiber concentrations in different environments and under different conditions. Air and soil samples have been collected in areas and situations in which concentrations may be elevated or for where exposure data are lacking. The suitability of available methods for sampling and analysis of lower asbestos concentrations in Australia is considered as well as the modifications to sampling methodology to consider a revised lower limit of reporting. Preliminary samples were collected and analyzed using accepted Australian methodology for fiber counting with further analysis using scanning electron microscopy for selected samples. Preliminary results suggest that airborne asbestos concentrations are extremely low, even in situations such as fire-damaged asbestos. The use of more sensitive methods for nonoccupational assessment of asbestos in soil and in air is supported as analytical methods must be sufficiently sensitive for quantifying environmental (low-level) exposure. An outcome of the completed research will be to develop exposure categories for current nonoccupational exposure scenarios that could be used in future epidemiological studies of asbestos-related diseases as well as to better understand and communicate health risk to the public from current asbestos exposures.
The Usefulness and Limitations of Semiquantitative Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy in Asbestos Analysis
Authors: Ray Robyn
Published: December 2021

In the United States, analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) often has been used for asbestos analysis because it quickly looks at crystal structure, chemistry, and morphology of the fibers. Most methods used for TEM asbestos analysis focus on qualitative energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) chemistry, where identification is based off of relative peak heights, because the commercial asbestos that was typically used in building material varied very little chemically. The data derived from semiquantitative EDS analysis, however, can be extremely useful in situations such as mineral powder analysis, soils, and other nonbuilding materials. Still, many commercial asbestos laboratories do not use this technique, because it is not a requirement of frequently used asbestos methods and requires extra calibration standards. Through many different naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) projects, as well as recent National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Proficiency Testing (PT) rounds, the usefulness and limitations of semiquantitative EDS have been further considered. This study includes data from a network of laboratories and examines 32 different energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detectors at 20 different laboratories. The results reveal the proficiency of modern EDS detectors as well as discusses real-world examples of the usefulness and limitations of this EDS technique on TEM.
AI-Driven, Automated PCM for the Diagnostic of Fibers in Air Samples

Published: December 2021

We present the latest development of an artificial intelligence–powered, fully automated phase contrast microscope (PCM) for the diagnostic of asbestos fibers in air samples. The method follows the recommendation NIOSH 7400 and various country-dependent, derived standards. It consists of identifying fibers longer than a critical length with an adequate aspect ratio over a hundred consecutive fields. Despite its simplicity, the method is prone to a large number of errors, mostly associated with the optics (configuration of the microscope) and the operator. Consequently, a fully automated PCM was developed by motorizing the stage in three orthogonal directions, introducing a virtual phase ring—a liquid crystal display provides both color filter adjustable to the objective optics and the obturator—all being driven remotely with a tablet computer. The system allows for the capture of a stack of images and the two-and-a-half-dimension reconstruction of a single, flattened three-dimensional image. A series of convolutional neural networks is further used to classify the image and score the fibers and debris candidates for classification, thus providing fiber and debris contents for each field. A plane index is finally derived to establish the most likely focus of the next field. This process reduces counting errors and provides a reliable estimate of the measurement confidence interval as compared with reference counts from human analysts. Using the latest mobile phone and tablet technology for both capture and analysis in the GPU, one achieves 100 fields in a minute, providing a considerable gain over manual examination by a skilled operator.

Authors: Paglietti Federica , Malinconico Sergio , Bellagamba Sergio , Massaro Crescenzo
Published: December 2021

From its storage in the workplace to its permanent disposal in landfill or through recycling, asbestos-containing waste (ACW) is a worldwide problem that requires careful and safe management. Considering the high amount of ACW produced by remediation activities and the lack of sufficient landfills, in particular in Europe and in high-density countries, in the past few years new patents for industrial plants to destroy asbestos have been submitted and approved. This paper analyzes some of the industrial plants proposed in Europe to destroy asbestos. This work highlights the advantages and disadvantages and focuses on worker health and environmental protection.
US Policy in Conditions of Growing Non-Military Challenges in Europe
Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kislitsyn Sergey
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the problem of new, non-military challenges for the US in Europe. Previously Washington saw the main regional risks in the military-political sphere. Now serious challenges are emerging in issues of trade, technological and information security. It also appears to lack initiative for regional development. To a large extent, the risks can be associated with the activities of the PRC. The study analyzes the American policy in specific areas (trade, 5G networks, energy exports, relations between allies). The main approaches that Washington can apply to protect its regional interests are as follows: attempts to put pressure on allies by introducing new tariffs and reducing cooperation in several areas; the desire of the US to provide an alternative to the projects of the PRC in the region; deliberate militarization of several topics by the US. But still, the universal instrument is the emphasis on shared values and the issue of human rights. The resolution of bilateral problems between the US and the EU will not fully deal with new risks. Trying to fend off the challenges emanating from the PRC, the US has to partially repeat and duplicate Beijing's policy, creating alternative infrastructure projects or trying to promote its LNG instead of Russian gas.
Evaluation of oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients in Hiwa Hospital in Sulaymaniyah city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
Authors: Abdullah Chra , Mohammad Hayder , Al Rawi Hisham , Omar Kosar , Ibrahim Lanja
Published: December 2021

Background and objective: Oral mucositis is caused by the destruction of the oral mucosal epithelium and suppression of its growth secondary to antineoplastic treatment in the form of chemotherapeutic drugs, substances, or radiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients because it is one of the common side effects of cancer therapy that influences the outcome. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that enrolled 100 pediatric patients with both hematological and non-hematological cancer. The age of the patients ranged from 1-18 years, involving both genders. Cases admitted to Hiwa hospital were clinically evaluated for oral mucositis, and ethical permission was taken from parents. Risk factors were assessed, including age, sex, cancer type, type of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, number of cycles, complete blood count, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and tumor necrosis factor-beta. Results: Baseline serum cytokines levels showed significant correlation between Interleukin-6 and intensity of the oral mucositis (P = 0.003, rho = 0.314) and no correlation between severity of oral mucositis with tumor necrosis factor-alpha, tumor necrosis factor-beta nor interleukin-1 beta (P = 0.140 and rho = 0.258, P = 0.463 and rho = -0.079, and P = 0.706 and rho = -0.041, respectively). There was significant relationship between Hemoglobin level, neutropenia and type of non-hematological cancer with the intensity of oral mucositis respectively (P ≤0.001 and rho = -0.352, P = 0.027 and rho = -0.221, and P = 0.035 and rho = 0.095, respectively). Correlation between age, gender, white blood cell count, platelet count, type of hematological malignancy and past history with the intensity of the oral mucositis did not show significant result. Conclusion: Intensity of oral mucositis increased with anemia, neutropenia, high interleukin-6 level, and the type of non-hematological cancer. It is recommended to treat anemic, neutropenic patients as soon as possible before exacerbating the mucositis. Methotrexate is the most aggressive drug alone and in combined chemotherapy agents, which may cause mucositis and needs prophylaxis like topical nystatin suspension or other methods. Keywords: Oral mucositis; Pediatric cancer; Non-hematological; Hematological; Sulaymaniyah.

However, most surgeons agreed that the pandemic significantly impels all stages of surgery and surgical practice. Most surgeons have adapted to the situation by using communication technology and new protective measures. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic; Kurdistan region; Pandemic effects; Surgery; Surgical practice.
Invariant Component of Development of Targeted Programs for Formation of Russian Identity n Educational Organizations
Authors:   Voronezh State Pedagogical University, Makhinin Alexander Nikolaevich
Published: December 2021

The article presents the author’s theoretical justification for the need to develop targeted programs for the formation of Russian identity in educational organizations. At the same time, taking as a given the multicultural nature of Russian society, the author seeks to determine the invariant part of such programs. The purpose of the article is to determine the invariant component of the development of targeted programs for the formation of Russian identity in educational organizations. The methodology was compiled by sociocultural and systemic approaches to the analysis of pedagogical phenomena and based on the main non-pedagogical concepts of the identity of foreign and domestic researchers. The leading methods were analyze, generalization, interpretation of the results of philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical research, mass and author pedagogical practice, modeling individual positions of the concept of the pedagogical process of forming the Russian personality identity. Attention is drawn to the fact that modern pedagogy (if it wants to be modern) is fundamentally important to determine the set of pedagogically significant ha-racterists of Russian identity, which will allow you to design the pedagogical process of its formation and indicate pedagogical permissible means and possible risks of its scientific and methodological support. The interdependence and mutual influence of the processes of development (main) and formation (accompanying) leads to objective limitations of pedagogical interventions. In order to improve the professional detail of pedagogical teams within the framework of the formation of the Russian identity of students, the structure of the modular program for the formation of Russian identity in educational organizations is proposed for discussion.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Tikhomirova Elena Evgenievn
Published: December 2021

The author of the article focuses on the analysis of specific methods and techniques for identifying the universal and unique cultural meanings of biblical parables in the study of the disciplines of the humanities cycle in a pedagogical university. The purpose of the article is to develop techniques for working with parables for practical classes in the cultural cycle at the Pedagogical University. Research methodology and methods. The work is based on the use of the methodology of the sociocultural and activity-based approach to the psychological development of the individual, as well as systemic and holistic approaches to education. When decoding the meanings of parables as texts of culture, it is proposed to use axiological, semiotic, cognitive and systemic approaches. The systemic culturological approach allows you to create conditions for the development of aesthetic taste, artistic thinking. Research results. As the scientific literature and the practice of teaching culturological disciplines at the Pedagogical University show, working with parables teaches us to personally and emotionally perceive the text of culture, to adequately assess the relationship in the system man-man and man-world, to recode the content from one semiotic system to another. Through the interpretation of the text, the individual creative abilities of students are developed, a steady interest in modern art practices is formed. Interpretation of the categories of culture, embodied in human and natural images of the transcendental, time, space, make it possible to essentially comprehend the texts of culture containing the plots of biblical parables. Conclusion. The consistent identification of the specifics of the study of parables in the context of the spiritual quest of a certain historical period contributes to the emergence of interest and the formation of a respectful attitude towards the cultural heritage, the values of world culture. Cultural practices of working with cultural texts contribute to an adequate understanding of the place of national culture in the world artistic process and its creative enhancement.

Atrial Fibrosis, Ischaemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Mahnkopf Christian , Kwon Younghoon , Akoum Nazem
Published: December 2021

Atrial fibrosis is an important component of the arrhythmic substrate in AF. Evidence suggests that atrial fibrosis also plays a role in increasing the risk of stroke in patients with the arrhythmia. Patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), who are suspected to have AF but are rarely shown to have it, frequently demonstrate evidence of atrial fibrosis; measured using late-gadolinium enhancement MRI, this manifests as atrial remodelling encompassing structural, functional and electrical properties. In this review, the authors discuss the available evidence linking atrial disease, including fibrosis, with the risk of ischaemic stroke in AF, as well as in the ESUS population, in whom it has been linked to recurrent stroke and new-onset AF. They also discuss the implications of this association on future research that may elucidate the mechanism of stroke and stroke prevention strategies in the AF and ESUS populations.
Theoretical Analysis of Fully Conservative Difference Schemes with Adaptive Viscosity

Published: December 2021

For the equations of gas dynamics in Eulerian variables, a family of two-layer in time completely conservative difference schemes with space-profiled time weights is constructed. Considerable attention is paid to the methods of constructing regularized flows of mass, momentum, and internal energy that do not violate the properties of complete conservatism of difference schemes of this class, to the analysis of their amplitudes and the possibility of their use on non-uniform grids. Effective preservation of the balance of internal energy in this type of divergent difference schemes is ensured by the absence of constantly operating sources of difference origin that produce "computational"entropy (including those based on singular features of the solution). The developed schemes can be easily generalized in order to calculate high-temperature flows in media that are nonequilibrium in temperature (for example, in a plasma with a difference in the temperatures of the electronic and ionic components), when, with the set of variables necessary for describing the flow, it is not enough to equalize the total energy balance.
On modelling of thermodynamic interaction of particles suspended in two-dimensional medium
Authors: Syromyasov Aleksei O. , Ponkratova Yulia V. , Menshakova Tatyana V.
Published: December 2021

Analytical description of temperature distribution in a medium with foreign inclusions is difficult due to the complicated geometry of the problem, so asymptotic and numerical methods are usually used to model thermodynamic processes in heterogeneous media. To be convinced in convergence of these methods the authors consider model problem about two identical round particles in infinite planar medium with temperature gradient which is constant at infinity. Authors refine multipole expansion of the solution obtained earlier by continuing it up to higher powers of small parameter, that is nondimensional radius of thermodynamically interacting particles. Numerical approach to the problem using ANSYS software is described; in particular, appropriate choice of approximate boundary conditions is discussed. Authors ascertain that replacement of infinite medium by finite-sized domain is important source of error in FEM. To find domain boundaries in multiple inclusions’ problem the authors develop “fictituous particle” method; according to it the cloud of particles far from the center of the cloud acts approximately as a single equivalent particle of greater size and so may be replaced by it. Basing on particular quantitative data the dependence of domain size that provides acceptable accuracy on thermal conductivities of medium and of particles is explored. Authors establish series of numerical experiments confirming convergence of multipole expansions method and FEM as well; proximity of their results is illustrated, too.
Egy középső vaskori leletegyüttes Mezőzomborról, Északkelet-Magyarország
Authors: Mogyorós Péter , Bakos Gábor
Published: December 2021

E cikkben egy 2018 őszén, Mezőzombor-Békás-érről előkerült bronztárgyakból és borostyángyöngyökből álló együttes kerül bemutatásra. A lelettípusok tipokronológiai elemzése alapján, a Kr. e. 7. század 2. felére és a Kr. e. 6. század elejére keltezhetők. A különféle tárgyak analógiái arra utalnak, hogy ékszerekként, a ruházat dekorálására szolgáltak, az egyes leleteken látható viseleti nyomok alapján nem eltemetésre készítették az együttes elemeit. Eredeti kontextusuk bizonytalan, de valószínűsíthető, hogy egy temetkezés mellékleteiként kerültek a föld alá.
