Authors: Soerjoatmodjo Gita Widya Laksmini , Kaihatu Veronica Anastasia Melany
Published: April 2017

AkhirPekan@MuseumNasional or Weekend at Museum Nasional is a Sunday family 15-20-minute theatre program organized by a museum consultancy, @Museum, in collaboration with Teater Koma for Indonesia’s National Museum. As a follow-up research, it zooms in on the decision-making process which leads to family participation in this cultural heritage appreciation program. Semi-structured interviews in this preliminary qualitative research to families attending the program show that aspiration, prior experience and the roles of mothers contributes to the process. It is hoped that this writing would provide feedbacks to other similar initiatives which promote the appreciation of cultural heritage.2398-4279 © 2017 The Authors.

Эффективность построения системы физической защиты потенциально опасных объектов во многом зависит от качественного подбора комплектующих. Ввиду того что на сегодняшний день не существует единой базы технических средств физической защиты, предлагается разработанная с помощью MS SQL Server Express база данных «Средства физической защиты потенциально опасных объектов». Для проектирования базы данных был выбран Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) - паттерн. Особенностью EAV-подхода к проектированию является представление данных в виде разреженной матрицы, где сохраняются только непустые значения. Представлена концептуальная модель предметной области с учетом особенностей EAV-подхода проектирования. В отличие от реляционной модели данных, где каждая сущность хранится в виде отдельной таблицы в базе данных, в модели EAV каждый экземпляр сущности - это объект. База данных «Средства физической защиты потенциально опасных объектов» согласно ER-диаграмме состоит из таблиц: «objtype», «objects», «strdesc», «propdesc», «strings», «properties», «units», что позволяет хранить информацию о множестве разнообразных средств физической защиты с различными атрибутами.
Power and Strength Calculations of Wave Gear with Ball Intermediate Bodies
Authors: Lazurkevich A V , Aliev F R , An I-Kan
Published: April 2017

Волновые планетарные передачи с шариковыми промежуточными телами более просты и технологичнее, чем подобные передачи с роликовыми промежуточными телами. В настоящее время такие передачи находят широкое применение в различных отраслях промышленности: нефтяной, горной, авиационной, космической и в др. Однако в настоящее время отсутствуют общие методы геометрического, силового и прочностного расчетов передач с разницей между числами зубьев колеса и шариков, равной ±1. Эта задача важна не только при расчете на прочность элементов зацеплений и опорных узлов, но и при проектировании передачи, так как направление вращения ведомого звена меняется на противоположное. В работе рассмотрен оригинальный метод силового и прочностного расчетов волновой передачи с шариковыми промежуточными телами, основанный на решении задачи статической неопределимости с привлечением контактных задач. Некоторые сложности задачи связаны с решениями систем трансцендентных уравнений, а также с вычислением кривизны профилей зубьев. В связи с этим была разработана программа для ПК в среде Delphi для численной реализации задачи. При этом радиус кривизны профилей зубьев колеса определяется путем использования хорды между тремя точками на профиле и теоремы синусов.
Determination of Motion Parameters for Rod Toothed Gears with Skew Axes
Authors: Sachkov M Yu
Published: April 2017

В работе рассматриваются приближенные передачи. Данная работа посвящена определению параметров движения зубчато-поводковой передачи на скрещивающихся осях. Разработка защищена патентом РФ. В статье обоснована актуальность синтеза новых видов зацепления с упрощенной геометрией контактирующих тел. Представлено расположение систем координат, использованных для получения функции положения передачи, состоящей из двух колес и неподвижного звена (стойки). Для передач на скрещивающихся осях получены координаты точек контакта на поверхностях поводков и рассчитаны ошибки функции положения при пересопряжении. Функция положения получена применением метода матричного преобразования систем координат и равенства радиусов-векторов и ортов нормалей в точке контакта. Данная передача может быть актуальна в машиностроении, приборостроении и других отраслях народного хозяйства. На ее основе могут быть синтезированы как редукторы, так и мультипликаторы. Она обладает высокой технологичностью (для ее изготовления не требуется специального оборудования), а функция перемещения близка к линейной. Данная статья характеризует влияние изменения передаточного отношения на качественные характеристики передачи. Определены минимальные допустимые передаточные отношения для различных чисел поводков ведущего колеса. Значения минимальных допустимых передаточных отношений существенно меньше, чем для конических зубчато-поводковых передач на пересекающихся ортогональных осях. Зацепление происходит без выхода точки контакта на кромку поводка. Для решения полученной системы уравнений применялись численные методы программного пакета MathCAD. В дальнейшем автором предполагается рассмотреть возможные погрешности монтажа и изготовления зубчато-поводковой передачи (такие, как погрешность шага, несоосность и т. д.) с целью оценки их влияния на качественные характеристики зацепления для всех типов взаимного расположения осей.

Published: April 2017

Рассмотрена конструкция и предложена методика геометрического расчета и кинематического анализа одной из разновидностей планетарных передач с зацеплением промежуточных тел-шариков с улучшенными характеристиками [1]: высоким КПД за счет уменьшения потерь на трение, увеличенной нагрузочной способностью за счет многопарности зацепления, компактностью и т. д. Планетарная передача содержит два солнечных колеса, водило, сателлит и две группы промежуточных тел-шариков, контактирующихся с поверхностями зубьев, выполненных на обращенных друг к другу торцевых поверхностях солнечных колес и сателлита. При этом каждая группа промежуточных тел-шариков отдельно позиционируются и объединяются с помощью сепаратора, представляющего диск с отверстиями для шариков. Для исключения нагрузки на сепараторе оси зацепления в каждой паре зацеплений, составленной солнечным колесом, сателлитом и сепаратором с промежуточными телами-шариками, совмещены. Приведен численный пример геометрического и кинематического расчетов передачи. Показано, что соответствующим подбором параметров можно свести скорость скольжения шариков относительно поверхностей зубьев близкой к нулю.

Published: April 2017

Влияние приемопередающих антенн остается основным из факторов, определяющих эффективность радиолинии. В статье выполнен расчет параметров полуволновых и укороченных симметричных вибраторных антенн. Рассмотрен расчет параметров укороченных штыревых антенн и факторы повышения их эффективности. Предложены способы повышения эффективности укороченных антенн: использование системы противовесов для уменьшения сопротивления потерь; применение согласующих индуктивностей, утолщение антенны и добавление концевой емкости на верхний конец штыря для уменьшения реактивной составляющей входного сопротивления антенны. Вместе с этим на практике особенно важное значение следует придавать вопросам юстировки и настройки укороченных антенн и их согласующих устройств. Приведен пример моделирования укороченной антенны в программе ММАNА.

Published: April 2017

Рассматривается математическая задача синхронизации материальных потоков в мелкосерийном производстве, приводится постановка задачи, критерии оптимизации и демонстрационный пример. Предлагается использовать лучшие практики подходов Lean и QRM в применении к мелкосерийному производству с учетом специфики. Рассматривается подход к оптимизации работы производства путем создания модуля синхронизации материальных потоков в соответствии с математической постановкой задачи синхронизации производства. В качестве критериев используются критерий максимизации приоритетов текущих заказов и критерий приоритезации работ с минимальным планируемым временем начала работ. Рассмотрен тестовый пример, наглядно демонстрирующий принцип работы синхронизированной системы управления производством в условиях постоянно меняющихся условий производства. Для демонстрации работы системы выбрано виртуальное производство, состоящее из пяти производственных участков. Использование синхронизированной системы управления производством позволило получить прибыль от выполнения заказов на 30 % выше, чем без применения. Если оценить уровень незавершенного производства, и время, и количество замороженных средств, то станет очевидно, что применение синхронизированной системы управления позволяет со временем снизить и другие прямые и косвенные затраты, что еще более позитивно отразится на чистой прибыли предприятия. Модуль синхронизации производства рассматривается как дополнительный модуль ERP-системы, встраиваемый в уже существующую ERP.

В статье автор анализирует состояние проблем расчета процессов, имеющих место в период последействия, и определения эффективности устройств, работающих в этот период. Рассматриваются методики расчета, построенные на аналитических зависимостях, и численные методики; указываются особенности, которые требуется учитывать при использовании решений в квазистационарной или в нестационарной постановке. В статье подчеркивается необходимость учитывать при расчете параметров течения наличие фазы установления, в продолжение которой наблюдается движение в газоводе ударных волн и волн разряжения, а также изменение под действием термодинамических и волновых процессов положения критических сечений течения потока, образование циркуляционных и застойных зон, других нестационарных газодинамических явлений. Указанные процессы играют существенную роль при образовании дульных ударных волн и пламенности выстрела, что во многом определяет качество наствольных устройств ствольного оружия.
Methods for Research of Joints with Composite Materials
Authors: Usynin V A , Shchenyatsky A V
Published: April 2017

В данной научной статье проведен анализ различных методов неразрушающего контроля для обоснования их применения в качестве инструмента исследования прочности клеевых соединений с композиционными материалами. Приведены прочностные свойства соединений с натягом, в зону сопряжения которых введены компаунды, с плохо изученными адгезионными свойствами, проведены серии контрольных экспериментов на основе неразрушающих и разрушающих методов, дана оценка напряженному состоянию сопряжения и прилегающих к ней слоев. Необходимые свойства клеевого соединения зависят от множества факторов, одним из которых является взаимодействие с особыми участками склеиваемых поверхностей; другой - среднее значение контактного давления, которое требуется для максимального прилегания поверхностей. Независимо от конструктивных параметров (соединение с зазором или соединение с натягом) способ сборки обеспечивает гарантированное заполнение пространства между сопрягаемыми деталями композиционным материалом, подаваемым в зону сопряжения различными способами. Для обеспечения дальнейшего применения соединений необходимо установить взаимосвязь прочности, определенной экспериментально, и показаний приборов при неразрушающем методе контроля. Такой подход позволит расширить область применения как клеевых соединений, так и соединений с прослойкой из наноструктурированного компаунда. Сборка соединений может осуществляться при относительном смещении собираемых деталей в условиях жидкостного трения, обеспеченного материалом клеевого компаунда. Проведен выбор наиболее оптимального, с точки зрения практики, метода контроля клеевых соединений с натягом с композиционной прослойкой. Показано преимущество метода введения сегнетоэлектрических добавок в клеевой слой для оценки прочностных характеристик клеевых соединений при использовании акустоэлектромагнитного метода.

Published: April 2017

A criação da Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde (PNEPS) amplia a possibilidade dos trabalhadores de incrementar melhorias nas intervenções realizadas na comunidade, como também na equipe de trabalho. O objetivo do estudo é investigar entre as atividades dos trabalhadores da saúde aquelas relacionadas à PNEPS se as atividades desenvolvidas têm relação com as ações da Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) e se os trabalhadores de saúde relacionam suas atividades com a política de EPS. Trata-se de um estudo de cunho qualitativo, envolvendo 113 trabalhadores da saúde dos 13 municípios pertencentes à 13ª Coordenadoria Regional de Saúde - RS. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário que permitiu a expressão livre sobre os temas abordados. O método de análise utilizado foi a análise de conteúdo, em que emergiram quatro categorias: atividades de EPS desenvolvidas pelos trabalhadores, EPS como estratégia facilitadora do processo de trabalho, dificuldades no cotidiano dos trabalhadores e sua relação com a necessidade de EPS e EPS como proposta de aprimoramento do processo de trabalho. Constatou-se, que os trabalhadores não identificam ações de EPS nas suas atividades diárias voltadas principalmente à especificidade profissional. As capacitações foram citadas como fator facilitador para o processo de trabalho e a falta destas, como dificultador. Conclui-se que há lacunas importantes na implantação dessa política, principalmente com a utilização de metodologias diferenciadas, visando à integralidade, respeitando as necessidades de trabalhadores, permitindo-lhes autonomia, imprescindível para melhorar a atuação na Atenção Básica de Saúde.
Práticas alimentares e estado nutricional de população atendida em Unidades Básicas de Saúde
Authors: Alleo Luciana Galve , De Souza Sônia Buongermino , Szarfarc Sophia Cornbluth
Published: April 2017

INTRODUÇÃO As práticas alimentares da população refletem no estado nutricional. OBJETIVO Identificar o estado nutricional de mães e crianças no 1o ano de vida e suas práticas alimentares. METODOLOGIA Estudo transversal desenvolvido em 8 Unidades de Saúde (2 UBS e 6 ESF) entre 122 crianças com até 1 ano de idade e suas respectivas mães. Peso e altura das mulheres foram obtidos no momento da entrevista (referidos) e dos prontuários, e os das crianças foram mensurados na consulta de puericultura. O consumo alimentar foi obtido por meio de entrevistas. RESULTADOS Arroz, feijão e pão foram consumidos diariamente enquanto o macarrão tem um consumo semanal. Frutas, verduras e legumes (FVL) apareceram com baixa frequência. Enquanto metade das mulheres apresentou excesso de peso, 16% das crianças estavam com déficit de peso. CONCLUSÕES A alimentação da população estudada é similar à descrita para o Brasil: arroz/feijão, carnes e pão, e FVL são consumidos raramente. A prevalência expressiva de excesso de peso materno provavelmente decorrente da alimentação pobre em micronutrientes e rica em calorias, se mantida, certamente, irá comprometer o desenvolvimento infantil e favorecer a mudança do atual quadro de desnutrição para excesso de peso.
O estado da arte da formação profissional do técnico em hemoterapia
Authors: Evangelista Janete Gonçalves , Lopes Márcia Cavalcanti Raposo , Chagas Daiana Crús , Coutinho Isis Pereira , Corôa Roberta De Carvalho
Published: April 2017

Neste artigo, o foco está direcionado para a trajetória formativa do técnico em hemoterapia. Por meio de um estudo comparado, foi realizada uma análise de documentos referentes ao processo de institucionalização do curso técnico em hemoterapia. O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado na pesquisa foi o do materialismo histórico, tendo por eixo norteador o conceito de qualificação oriundo da sociologia do trabalho. O material analisado é composto por um parecer emitido pelo Conselho Federal de Educação, pelo Catálogo Nacional de Cursos Técnicos (CNCT) e pelo Programa de Formação de Profissionais de Nível Médio para a Saúde (PROFAPS). Desde a regulamentação do curso na década de 1990, a oferta do curso técnico em hemoterapia não se consolidou, bem como a regulamentação da profissão ou da ocupação. O que se pode depreender deste estudo é que os desafios tanto para a formação quanto para a profissionalização do técnico em hemoterapia estão postos e não são poucos. Isso porque a prática real da atividade do técnico em hemoterapia acontece no cotidiano dos hemocentros e laboratórios em geral.

Estudos recentes têm, cada vez mais, se debruçado sobre políticas e os processos de gestão que se orientam a partir de perspectivas de gênero, como a Saúde do Homem. Com o objetivo de compreender como os gestores de Unidades Básica de Saúde de Belo Horizonte - MG se colocam frente à Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem (PNAISH), foram entrevistados nove gestores distribuídos por cada distrito sanitário da cidade. Os discursos foram analisados na perspectiva da Análise de Conteúdo. Percebeu-se que a implantação da PNAISH se constitui como um desafio. Os gestores reconhecem que devem participar da construção da Política, mas apontam para a necessidade de que sejam oferecidos suportes para sua implementação. Atividades pontuais como os mutirões em Saúde do Homem estão sendo desenvolvidas para facilitar a adesão desse público à Atenção Básica. É de vital importância a mudança de postura da gestão no sentido de utilizar a PNAISH como recurso estratégico para alcance da integralidade, equidade e universalidade no acesso aos serviços do Sistema Único de Saúde.
Zum Spielen und zum Tantzen
Authors: Tormod Dalen
Published: April 2017

This exposition presents the artistic research project 'Zum Spielen und zum Tantzen: A Kinaesthetic Exploration of the Bach Cello Suites through Studies in Baroque Choreography’, undertaken at the Norwegian Academy of Music between 2009 and 2012. I offer a historical background, discuss the method used, and present the artistic results in the form of video and audio files.

The dance titles of J. S. Bach's cello suites, derived from French court dance, clearly meant more to the composer than just abstract references. In Bach's time, dance practice permeated social life, and an intimate knowledge of fashionable dance forms was indispensable for a musician. The movements and gestures of these dances inevitably had a profound influence on performance style.

I have investigated how the practice of Baroque dance could influence my interpretation of the Bach suites. Learning the essentials of this style and its original choreographies and frequently accompanying dancing, I also explored the dance aspect of the cello suites by way of experiments with historical tempos as well as melodic and rhythmic reductions of the musical material.

Through this project, I hope to make a worthy contribution to the development of performance practice studies, offering a recontextualisation of Bach’s work that emphasises the close links between the expressive gestures of music and dance. The results have both artistic and pedagogic potential as tools to discover essential aspects of dance character in Baroque music.
Palestinian Wildlife Series: embodiment in images, critical abstraction
Authors: Rania Lee Khalil
Published: April 2017

The expanded cinema performance ‘Palestinian Wildlife Series’ parallels posthuman and postcolonial circumstance, using appropriated imagery of African animals shot directly from a television set in Palestine.

Chronicling the experimentation and process that went into this work of ‘animal-video choreography’, the author interweaves research on Palestine, materialist film, and Afrofuturist thought. The exposition reflects on the impact upon Khalil’s work of women performance artists and avant-garde jazz musician Sun Ra, presenting a journey from text-based and signifier-heavy early experiments to the wordless and open-ended cinematic outcome the author comes to defend.

Drawing on her transition from live performance to moving image production, this exposition will interest those concerned with interdisciplinarity and embodiment in digital imagery. It examines alternative modes of art activism and political uses of abstraction and experimentalism in art, specifically where critical ethnic and postcolonial studies are concerned. It supports discussions of rights and representation within artistic research and beyond from a diasporic perspective.
Actor Self vs. Character Self: An Empirical Exploration

Self-portraiture: on photography’s reflexive surface
Authors: Elisavet Kalpaxi
Published: April 2017

This exposition deals with narcissism, narrativity, self-portraiture, and photography. It illustrates a practice-based research project instigated in 2007 that aims to decode and recover narcissism as a useful sense-making scenario or system. This approach can help make sense of photography and self-portraiture in the present, and can be employed in the development of visual strategies in photographic self-portraiture.

Here I present the practical work that was produced and the theory that influenced my practice: namely, the revaluation of the relationship between self-portraiture and narcissism, and ideas from the semiotics of photography and narrative theory. The three main sections of the exposition illustrate the chronological development of my work, and each section is divided into two parts.

The first part of each section presents the practical work, whereas the second part illustrates the theoretical aspect of this project, which stems from a wish to reflect on my own art practice and increase my understanding of self-portraiture, while also interrogating narrative codes and devices in photography, such as the double, mise en abyme, and mirroring structures, and their association with narcissism. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, semiotics, and narratology, I argue that narcissism in self-portraiture can simultaneously represent an imaginary withdrawal of the artist, a structure within the work, and a vehicle for narrativity. By eluding structured language systems, narcissism provides a vocabulary for narrativising procedures, as well as meeting the artist’s/viewer’s modes of engagement.

These ideas informed the practical component of the research project and provided the basis for a number of visual strategies employed in the development of the photographic self-portraits that are presented in the second part of each section. In these sections, I also explain the different strategies adopted in producing my images: the role of codes, narrative devices, layering, and reframing for understanding the density of an image and its inherent narcissism. In the process I propose that narcissism should receive a much more central role in the consideration of images and the way they communicate with a contemporary audience.
Information for foreigners: chronicles from Kashmir
Authors: Nandita Dinesh
Published: April 2017

'Information for Foreigners: Chronicles from Kashmir (IFF Kashmir)' is an adaptation of Griselda Gambaro's 1992 play of the same time. Directed and written by this researcher in July 2015 in close collaboration with a theatre company in Srinagar, 'IFF Kashmir' uses techniques from site-sensitive, promenade, and immersive theatre to perform narratives surrounding the conflicts in the region. Beginning with a description of the foundations and development of 'IFF Kashmir', this exposition puts forward insights that have emerged around the notion of 'balance': from an evolution of balance vis-à-vis narratives of victimhood and perpetration to considerations of balance regarding representations of time (the past, the present, and the future).
10 Diary Entries [2010-12]
Authors: Simon Granell
Published: April 2017

This work is an exploration into a personal use of spoken language though a predefined process intended to mirror that of my painting practice. A similar process of self-imposed limitation is applied with the aim of suggesting both an autobiographical residue of my own thinking, and open up a potential dialogue for the reader.

A series of ten quotations taken from a painting diary are paired with words and punctuation from a series of books that I own. This process has been repeated until all ten quotations have been paired, one word and punctuation mark at a time, creating lists of footnotes, the suggestion being that language has been acquired in this manner. The relationship between word and associated footnote becomes the source of play, frustration or familiarity. The intention is to demonstrate that this deterministic process far from being reductive in its effect, has resulted in the words being read either as part of a whole or reintegrated and reoriented into something new through a process of appropriation rather that engenderment.
The hope is that this procedural limitation can act as a trigger for the reader to resequence and reconfigure the references through association and connection that might say something about them in terms of age, taste and perhaps even prejudice.

While painting is the subject of the quotations, the implication is that this is constructed by material from another source. This has a distancing effect, which I hope has drawn some parallels with the process of making a painting itself. The footnotes have become detached for the quotations and are free to be re-cited, and act less to affirm or underline and more of leave a trace.
Movement Intervention within British Post-War Architecture
Authors: Jaimie Henthorn
Published: April 2017

This exposition considers movement intervention in architectural spaces as a form of artistic practice and potential research methodology. Examples of movement intervention within architecture in contemporary artworks are examined, helping to describe the parameters of this technique. Phenomenological aspects of these artworks, such as kinaesthetic empathy and the ubiquitous and physical context of architecture, are discussed. These can distance the viewer from an automatic understanding of the relationship between body and building, and introduce the potential for meaning beyond familiar ways of addressing architecture, such as through writing.

The exposition centres on two on-site movement interventions by the author at post-war British buildings, St Peter’s Seminary, designed by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, and the tower housing blocks Bevin Court and the Sivill House, designed by Berthold Lubetkin, and examines how the works relate to these contexts as a space both of creation and of reception. These movement interventions address the similar cultural circumstances of these sites as well as their dissimilar current status. The exposition concludes with an assessment of the validity of the kinetic human body as a research tool and the capacity for artworks resulting from movement intervention to engage the viewer and contribute to existing architectural discourse.
The Photogram as a Domestic Diary
Authors: Pamela Salen
Published: April 2017

Using a heuristic a method of inquiry, my practice-led research investigates a creative visualisation of memory, autobiography, and domestic space. I approach these experiences from the perspective that home is not necessarily a fixed or ideal place, but rather an on-going condition underpinned by the tension between preservation and transformation. Within these parameters, home is defined primarily as a self-referential process whereby memory and autobiography are integral. I examine photograms and paper sculptures as methods of engaging with, recording, and cataloguing memory. How space is perceived and thus translated onto paper informs my understanding of the visceral and direct qualities of memory as an artefact, as well as a mode of storytelling. Through this, my research aims to contribute, through unconventional image-making processes, to how memory can be triggered and home re-constructed as a domestic diary. I argue that memory is provoked by an intimately-scaled, reconstructed portrayal of home as both an iconic and abstracted space whereby touch, light, and paper are necessary aids. Home is an important area of exploration because of its immediate link to memory. My research offers insight into how domestic space can be perceived as a diary.
The learning process in fado through artistic research
Authors: Brita Lemmens
Published: April 2017

This project focuses on the learning process in the oral tradition of fado. A common Portuguese saying 'O fado não se aprende' (one cannot learn to sing fado) forms the departure point of this artistic investigation. As a singer I dived into the practices of the oral transmission in Lisbon in order to discover if I could in fact learn the skills of singing fado. The project discusses several methods one can use as a singer in order to enrich one’s artistic practice with new genres that are not taught in music academies. It is concerned with the question of what knowledge can be produced through artistic research. What can we learn from an artistic researcher that we cannot learn from an ethnomusicologist? What is the extra dimension of artistic research?
Crossing: Between the Italic Domus and the Artistic Environment

Between 2009 and 2012 I made several visits to Italy to study at the Royal Dutch Institute in Rome, as well as to carry out historical field research in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Rome and Cerveteri. These trips were designed to provide material for writing several essays and developing an installation based on the classical atrium house.
Based on historical study and by way of the ancient Roman concept of genius loci, the spirit of place, my reflections on the quality and characteristics of place has led me to the tombs of Rome and Cerveteri and the dwellings of Pompeii. The various differences and interconnections between these two ancient sites of life and death as two extremes have been essential to my research. In this exposition I report on my artistic research.
Latitudinal Conversations
Authors: Don Asker  , Helen Herbertson
Published: April 2017

In this project we examine the process of creating performance. 'Latitudinal Conversations' documents conversation and thoughtful reflection between two choreographers over two years. It includes periods when conversation extends into body-centred field and studio work, where thoughtful voices and bodies ‘talking’ are intertwined. It is multi-modal in form exploring the intersection of kinaesthetic, sonic (including vocalisations), and visual image data.
The project takes an emergent methods approach, trusting the particular nature of the participants’ interests and curiosity to provide impetus and direction. It is an endeavour that eschews final determination and conclusions in favour of an unfolding dialogue that allows two individual perspectives to intersect and find points of differentiation and resonance.
What ‘emerges’ are insights into the drivers and motivations of these particular practices, making transparent many of the tacit or underlying methods, values, and assumptions of the choreographers. The research underlines the cyclical and continuous processing of experience, thoughtful reflection and awareness, and potential for action in the future. In this process notions of embodiment and the capacity of the situated body to kindle metaphors are reappraised.
The Invisible Inside the Visible
Authors: Sheilah Wilson
Published: April 2017

The Invisible Inside the Visible was a personal quest turned art project to locate physical evidence of a century-old racetrack on the Cape John peninsula in the village of River John, Nova Scotia.

The journey to find the racetrack was marked by its double invisibility. Not only was it remembered without specificity in regard to location, it was also invisible to the observing eye because it was embedded into the landscape.

This exposition is a reflection on the nature of landscape as a marker of cultural geography, and on my ability as an artist to pull the past forward through performance. I see the performative gesture as a physical articulation akin to a vibration; it disrupts the stability of the narrative. This project adds to the discourse investigating maps, memory, rural community, oral history, depictions of landscape, performance as tool, and the potential for dialectical articulations of place and history.
'Beware the Danger of Merging': Conceptual Blending and Cognitive Dissonance in the work of IOU Theatre
Authors: Deborah Middleton  , Tim Moss
Published: April 2017

This exposition introduces and analyses the work of British-based IOU Theatre, a company that has been exploring intermedial theatre and installation since 1976. IOU's work, we suggest, is characterised by their particular strategies for juxtaposing or fusing images, materials, and artistic media. We explore this aspect of IOU's practice through the lens of emergent cognition by drawing on Fauconnier and Turner's (2002) theory of conceptual blending.

While Fauconnier and Turner's work applies broadly to the process underlying many cognitive acts, their model enables us to develop a nuanced understanding of IOU's particular creative 'blends' and to identify a 'resistance to the blend’ that proves essential to the IOU aesthetic.

The authors have included first-person accounts of some of their own cognitive experiences in response to IOU's work as a way to track the application of conceptual blending in the reception and analysis of an artistic artefact or experience.

The exposition both introduces to a wider readership examples of IOU's oeuvre and proposes a reading of conceptual blending as a tool for understanding creative processes, analysing artistic artefacts, and discussing audience reception – in works that particularly exploit creative collisions of imagery or media. In this way, it is our intention to contribute to artistic research a methodology for analysis and a lens through which some key artistic strategies can be illuminated. Our approach may be of interest to those concerned with the making, analysis, or reception of artistic work that is intermedial in the broadest sense.
Alpha
Authors: Juliet MacDonald
Published: April 2017

This is a report of an art-research project that started over four years ago. It concerns drawings made by a chimpanzee as part of a scientific experiment conducted in the 1940s. On the first page I summarise the background to my project, the discussion of drawing that provides a context, and the areas of enquiry that are exposed. On three further pages of the exposition I discuss the methods by which I conducted the research. 'Collecting' describes the acquisition of second-hand books dating from the first half of the twentieth century. In 'Tracing' I discuss the retracing of drawings made by the chimpanzee named Alpha. The third of these pages, 'Experimenting', shows the development of this research during an artist's residency at MEANTIME in 2012.
Anatomical Self-Portraits as Fieldwork: Observations, Improvisations, and Elicitations in the Medical School
Authors: Kaisu Koski
Published: April 2017

This exposition discusses an artistic research project involving a field trip to a medical school. It introduces part of my postdoctoral project as a case study, discussing photography and video self-portraits as a means for exploring anatomy and clinical skills education. Instead of analysing the resulting photo series and video piece, the exposition has a focus on process and methodology: it elaborates on the artistic process and the various roles an artist-researcher can claim at the site of the medical school and in the study outcomes. The exposition also discusses the ways in which this process may engage medical school participants, and how the participants’ reflections intertwine with the artistic outcomes.
One Motorbike, One Arm, Two Cameras
Authors: Ainara Elgoibar
Published: April 2017

The idea of creating a video work exploring the question of how an industrial robotic arm would see a handmade product is used as a pretext to generate a meeting point for different local agents in the framework of the production of an art project titled 'Rodar y Rodear' ('To Shoot and to Surround') (2013).

The heirs of a post-civil war motorbike manufacturer (MYMSA) and the Barcelona Fab-Lab found it interesting to take part in the production of this artistic project, which is a film event built on the idea of dislocation in the common uses of its leading actors: a motorbike restored as a museum piece and an industrial robotic arm programmed to produce the image of something that was fabricated with a pre-robotic sensitivity.

This exposition explores the connections that arise between production processes in commercial cinema and the automotive industry, and the capacity that artistic research has to create a singular and significant space for mutual exploration.
Migration research in collaboration with Tamil Sri Lankan artists in the British diaspora
Authors: Anna Laine
Published: April 2017

This research exposition investigates how artistic practice is used among British Tamil artists with a Sri Lankan background to explore their multiple belongings and in-between notions of homing and migrating.
It is based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in London, Belfast, and Jaffna. Through the author’s position in the overlap between art practice and anthropology, the exposition poses questions about the possibilities of an interdisciplinary approach to artistic research.
The additional overlap with the Tamil artists’ profession challenged the relationship between self and other in the research process, and knowledge has consequently been produced in a collaborative form.
Shuttling
Authors: Mick Douglas  , Beth Weinstein  , James Oliver
Published: April 2017

This exposition investigates practice-as-research dynamics through a project titled ‘Shuttle’, from which emerged a practice of ‘shuttling’ as a layered modality for processing methodological artistic research. An international crew of artists, designers, and performance makers enquire into peer-to-peer creative practice development: practices unfolding through the dramaturgy of a twenty-day, four-thousand-mile mobile performance-research journey in the deserts of the North American south-west. We trace the dynamics of a practice-as-research milieu through a suite of artistic operations, performatively elaborated through this rich-media exposition. Through ‘shuttling’, we generate parafunctional performative spaces and temporalities. Our spatio-temporal and sensory mode of research – conditioned, co-created, and situated as a mobile laboratory – posits reflexivity as an embodied practice, as a medium of ‘shuttling’ with the dynamic emergence of creative research practices.
'Unfixed Landscape' - Is it possible to define 'place' through artistic practice?
Authors: Ruby Wallis
Published: April 2017

This exposition takes the form of a series of experimental and philosophical attempts to represent place through film, photography and drawing. The research is devised through the frame of the self-reflexive auto-ethnographer. I have identified three methodological approaches that question fixed notions of self .The argument is whether it is possible to represent a place without its representation becoming a ‘fixed’ view; and the evasion and determination of a definition of 'place' becomes apparent throughout the body of this research.
In and out of memory: exploring the tension when remembering a traumatic event.
Authors: Anna Walker
Published: April 2017

The modernist approach to trauma points to an occurrence that demands representation and yet refuses to be represented (Roth 2012: 93); the intensity of the experience makes it difficult to remember and impossible to forget, making any form of recollection inadequate. This exposition explores the repetitive and unresolved notion of trauma using 11 September 2001 as the entry point to navigate a pathway backward into the past and all that was remembered, and uncovers what was forgotten in an effort to lay a traumatic memory to rest. The research began with a journal written on the day of and days following the disaster, which up until a couple of years ago remained closed and unread. Personal remembering is layered upon a well-established collective memory of the event and a vast array of literature, art, and theory written in response to 9/11.
ELUSIDASI STRUKTUR ISOLAT SKUALENA DARI IKAN HIU CUCUT BOTOL (Centrophorus sp)

The main source of squalene was liver oil of shark. Producing of squalene this oil could be separated from other components inside. The research obtained that the value of squalene was 75.83 1.14 percent. To discover the purification and safety to consume squalene which had been isolated from oil of the liver’s shark cucut botol was used a method which available in AOAC, therefore that could be done elucidation of the structure of isolate with any instruments such as KLT, FTIR, GC, GC-MS, and NMR. Structure elucidation of isolate compare with standard of squalene had result as follows: a. KLT: Rf isolate = 0.457, Rf standard = 0,457, b. FTIR = 2980– 2850 CH of methyl and methylene; 1668.58 & 1446.74 a double chain of carbon (C=C); 1381.16 and 835.25 = branch chain that all for isolate was the same with standard; GC tR = 9.065 minute of isolate and standard was 9.124 minutes; GC-MS the main fraction with mass 69 was one unit of isoprene (C5H9); the value of proton NMR (δ = ppm) were 1.601 and 1.674, 2.016, 5.150 and 5.155 for isolate; the standard were 1.599 and 1.670, 2.016, 5.155. The result of elucidation structure could be concluded that the isolate was the same with the squalene standard. Therefore, isolate could be able to consume safety as natural health food for all consumers because it had already pure and free from other compound such as cholesterol.
