Authors: Kandrokov Roman , Bekshokov Kerim
Published: December 2022

The research revealed the study results of the influence of the different millgrist ratios of triticale grain and rye on the triticale-rye intermediate grinding products and triticale-rye flour yield. A man grinds the initial samples of triticale grains on laboratory grinding mills (MLP-4) with threaded (for break systems) and microroughened rolls (for reduction systems). The mechanical and kinematic parameters of the MLP-4 mill threaded rolls are as follows: the flute layout is back to back, the fast-rotating roll speed is 5 m/s, the differential unit is 1.5, the number of flutes per 1 cm is 8, the flutes slope is 7 %. A man revealed that among the presented samples the control triticale grain demonstrated the highest intermediate ground materials yield, which amounted to 87.9 %, including 14.2 % of triticale flour; while the control rye grain – the smallest intermediate ground materials yield, accounted for 81.9 %, including 22.4 % rye flour. The study showed that when 50 % of rye grain was added to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the intermediate ground materials yield in the cereal dusting products form was 83.1 %, including 19.1% of triticale-rye flour; when 40 % of rye grain was added to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the intermediate ground materials yield in the сereal dusting products form was 85.0 %, including 17.3 % of triticale-rye flour; when 30 % of rye grain was added to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the intermediate ground materials yield in the сereal dusting products form amounted to 87.9 %, including 14.2 % of triticale-rye flour. A man found that when grinding the initial control triticale grain, the triticale flour yield was 77.9 %, when grinding the initial control rye grain, the triticale flour yield flour was 70.3 %, which is 6.9 % less than from triticale grain. When introducing 50 % of rye grain to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the triticale-rye flour yield was 72.9 %; when introducing 40 % of rye grain to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the triticale-rye flour yield was 72.9 %, when introducing 30 % of rye grain to the triticale-rye grain millgrist, the triticale-rye flour yield was 77.1 %. The authors connected the dots between the triticale-rye flour yield and the rye grains content in the millgrist. At the same time, they found that the rye grain introduction to the triticale-rye millgrist led to a decrease in the triticale-rye flour yield.

Published: December 2022

The identification of new sources and food products range expansion of combined type or completely plant-based are due to the need to exclude some components from them. The research aimed at development of a new combined composition product by biotechnology methods and studying its properties. The research objects were the following: cow's milk (1.5 w/w fat %), plant “milk” (1.5 w/w fat %), commercial starter cultures of various compositions. The samples contained from 0 (the control) to 1 % plant “milk”. A man run fermentation for 12 hours at a temperature of 38–40 °С, then refrigerated samples for 24 hours to form a clot. The researchers determined titratable acidity according to the GOST 3624-92; physical and chemical indicators – by the NIR-analyzer “Infraljum FT-12”; rheological indicators – using the viscometer “Rotational Viscometer RM-1”. They revealed that the threshold titratable acidity value (75 °T) was overcome in experimental samples 2–4, in addition to the control. Acidity values varied from 58 to 72 °T depending on the starter. All samples received a satisfactory assessment in terms of physicochemical and organoleptic parameters. There was an increased content of protein and fat in the experimental samples compared to the control one due to an increase of the plant component in the product content. According to the rheological studies results, there was a clot formation with certain viscous and thixotropic properties in the product. To expand the assortment and enrich traditional fermented milk products with plant components, it is possible to use milk and plant “milk” on a 50:50 ratio and 25:75 ratio using starter cultures “ProBioYogurt” or “Yogurt”.

Published: December 2022

Ensuring the functional food ingredients stability and the flavor formation of foods fortified with them meets the healthy nutrition principles, which contributes to the human and future generations health, as well as reduces the disease risk. The research aim was to study the biologically impact of the active substances encapsulation into double emulsion food systems (DEFS) on the organoleptic profile formation and the biologically active substances resistance to oxidation. The study demonstrated the comparative organoleptic analysis results of the inverse emulsion with fish oil and DEFS o/w/o with fish oil encapsulated in the internal phase of the emulsion matrix; direct emulsion with vitamin B1 (thiamine) and DEFS w/o/w with vitamin B1 encapsulated in the internal phase of the emulsion matrix; as well as the oxidation stability study results of fish oil in the composition of the inverse emulsion and dual emulsion system during storage. A man compiled organoleptic profiles of control samples and DEFS with encapsulated BAS. The results showed that the fish oil and vitamin B1 encapsulation in DEFS contributed to the color and flavor correction – deodorization and elimination of fish oil and vitamin B1 aftertaste and off-flavours. Study confirmed the effectiveness of fish oil encapsulation in DEFS, expressed in increasing its resistance to oxidation. During storage, the fat oxidation intensity in the control sample was higher than in the double emulsion system. The peroxide value in the control sample increased 6 times during storage and amounted to 7.9 mmol of active oxygen per 1 kg of fat, while in the double emulsion food system the increase was only 4 times, from 1.3 on the first day of storage to 5.1 on the 35th day. On average, for every 7 days of storage the peroxide value grew by 1.32 for the control sample and by 0.76 for the double emulsion system.

The present study aimed to visualize the chromium reduction in the rhizosphere of vetiver. Vetiver was grown in rhizoboxes supplemented with metal solutions such as Ni, Pb, Zn, and Cr(III) with sand as a medium for 30 days. At the end of the experiments, it was observed that Cr(III) (40.0 mg kg-1) was accumulated more in the roots than the shoots compared to Ni (14.5 mg kg-1), Pb (12.0 mg kg-1) and Zn (11.6 mg kg-1). But on the contrary, Zn is accumulated more (58.5 mg kg-1) in shoots than in the roots compared to Ni (23.1), Pb (19.3), and Cr(III) (21.9). In order to validate this, root exudate activity of Vetiver was observed visually as a change in pH using bromocresol purple as an indicator. More root acidification was triggered by Pb and Cr(III). The rhizofiltration of Cr(III) to roots can be attributed to the enhanced root acidification and hence more accumulation. The Cr(VI) reduction was also visualized around vetiver roots using DPC as an indicator. This method is test verified and can be used as a quick method to screen plants for their root exudation potential for metal mobilization or filtration onto roots.

Okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCV) is a severe emerging disease of okra, Abelmoschus esculentus in India, causes systemic infections and has a very effective mode of transmission by the sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci; thus, preventing their spread has been made very complicated. It is essential to understand the OELCV isolates to study the disease reactions in plant accessions. The okra OELCV infected young leaves were collected from the Salem (Northwestern Zone) and Madurai (South Zone) of Tamil Nadu and the DNA was extracted and used to amplify the OELCV utilizing specific primers (JKOE34F, JKOE35R) targeting the OELCV coat protein gene and produced a 796 bp band in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The homology analysis of nucleotide sequence was carried out using BLAST programme and the results revealed that the Salem region coat protein gene sequence grouped into OELCV clone 6.2, complete genome (MK084768.1) with 99.71% of homology, and Madurai region coat protein gene sequence grouped into OELCV isolate Vijayawada coat protein (AV1) gene complete cds (KT935487.1) with a 99.38% of homology. The amplified OELCV (Salem and Madurai zone) from the study had aligned in the same cluster along with HG938362.1 and KX710156.1. This study had indicated that the OELCV pathogen alike in these zones successfully being transmitted by B. tabaci.

Published: December 2022

Environmental quality of sidewalks influenced physical activity practices in public areas to prevent diseases
related of sedentary lifestyle. Tree and its air thermoregulation capacity can modify microclimate conditions
that affect people's daily behavior. To promote the thermal comfort on streets, it is necessary to design
urban areas with trees and cool materials that can mitigate effects of heat islands. This work aims to
evaluate the influence of thermal comfort in different urban landscapes on pedestrian walkability.
Methodology: a) selection of route based on a transect that crosses different types of urban landscape: a
park (dense green area) and streets with or not tree planted; b) collection of climate data (air temperature
and humidity) and surface temperature by thermal pictures during 13 days in 2019 summer; c) quantification
of thermal comfort in terms of Air Temperature; Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) and Universal
Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI); d) statistical analysis of measured data and mapping of climate variables e)
future scenarios using RayMan Pro. Results show air temperature differences between shaded and sun areas
is up to 3,1 ° C and 4,5 ° C in terms of PET and 3,5 o

C UTCI. It was observed that the features of shade of trees
and planting strategies can also influence results. In streets, clusters of trees planted in line can promote
more thermal comfort than other analyzed areas (on parks and streets without trees). Considering that
people preferred walking on shady places, to plant aligned trees by species as Casealpinia peltophoroides
(Sibipiruna) could attenuated 94,8 % of solar radiation and can reduce up to 16o

C PET in flat areas. Future

scenarios with trees show that São Caetano street can improve air temperatures to 0,5o

C in terms of Ta, 1,4

o
C PET and 0,9o

C UTCI. To reduce heat stress and promote more thermal comfort sensations, it's necessary
to modify materials used on façades and pavements. This strategy can improve local commerce due
preference of walking on wooded streets by species that can’t filter solar radiation and permits the wind
permeability. These results can promote the re-naturalization of commercial areas of Sao Paulo downtown
and improve microclimate of urban environments.
Dimensões da sustentabilidade nas técnicas construtivas utilizadas em projetos de urbanização - estudo de caso Cantinho do Céu
Authors: Massumoto Nicole , Obata Sasquia Hizuru
Published: December 2022

Os projetos de urbanização de assentamentos precários, localizados em áreas ambientalmente
vulneráveis, surgem dentro de um contexto de agravamento das questões socioambientais. Ao
mesmo tempo que a população sofre com a falta de infraestrutura urbana, o ambiente também
sente os impactos da ação antrópica. Soma-se a isso, o crescente debate sobre a sustentabilidade e
a demanda por um desenvolvimento mais consciente que integre política, meio ambiente e
sociedade. Entende-se, portanto, que as intervenções desenvolvidas nesses locais devem partir de
uma visão ampla, a fim de atender a grande complexidade que eles apresentam. Entretanto, esse
nem sempre é o cenário e os projetos, devido a diferentes fatores, acabam optando por soluções
menos sustentáveis. Sendo assim, o estudo busca avaliar em que medida as técnicas construtivas
aplicadas nos projetos de urbanização podem ser consideradas sustentáveis; baseando a análise no
estudo de caso realizado no Cantinho do Céu, assentamento precário localizado no município de
São Paulo. O método avaliativo é pautado nas dimensões da sustentabilidade, para as quais foram
identificados avanços e limites de acordo com as técnicas selecionadas. A partir disso, foi possível
apontar estratégias de reforço para a sustentabilidade e concluir que, apesar de não existir uma
técnica que se encaixe em todos os padrões, é necessário manter uma visão sistêmica a fim de se
definir as fragilidades, e eventuais soluções, daquelas já existentes.

Published: December 2022

Nocardia is a ubiquitous organism and often causes serious fatal infections in immuno-compromised individuals. Staphylococcus aureus infection stimulates an inflammatory response that causes lung damage and facilitates subsequent chronic infection. Patients of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) on steroids and immunosuppressants are particularly at risk of these infections. We present the case of a middle-aged man who was diagnosed to have ABPA by serological and radiographic criteria. He presented with fever, cough, and mucopurulent sputum. Subsequent sputum culture for bacteria and fungus revealed the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Nocardia spp. respectively.

Background: The area of the cubital fossa contains the main superficial veins, including the basilic, cephalic, median cubital, and median antebrachial veins, and their innominate small tributaries. For this reason, it is the area most preferred by medical practitioners to access the circulatory system for various clinical applications.

Objective: The aim of this study was to address the prevalence of different types of antecubital fossa superficial vein patterns observable among Saudi subjects by applying a tourniquet and using a VeinViewer®.

Materials and methods: Over the period from September 2020 to April 2021, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The 151 study subjects were randomly chosen from the emergency department of King Fahad University Hospital. A total of 302 venous patterns were obtained; 55 were excluded due to the presence of scar tissues over the antecubital fossa, obesity, or thick subcutaneous tissue. Four classes of cubital venous patterns were established according to other studies, and a VeinViewer® and a tourniquet were used to visualize the venous patterns.

Results: Of the 151 people, 21 were female and 130 were male. Among the included 247 venous patterns, the predominant type was type 2 (52.2%), characterized by a branching off the median cubital vein from the cephalic vein and an upward progression to join the basilic vein.

Conclusion: Type 2 appears to be the dominant pattern, with no significant relation to the origins of the parents, in the Saudi population. Gender does not influence the venous patterns. Further studies are needed outside the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic to obtain a larger sample.
UNA DEFENSA DE LA POSIBILIDAD DE RESOLVER RACIONALMENTE DETERMINADOS DESACUERDOS PROFUNDOS
Authors: Gariazzo Matías
Published: December 2022

Este artículo tiene tres objetivos. El primero y principal de ellos es mostrar que determinados desacuerdos profundos son resolubles racionalmente. El proce-dimiento de resolución racional de estos desacuerdos coincide con el modo en que Duncan Pritchard (2011, 2021) entiende que cualquier desacuerdo profundo puede resolverse. Así, el segundo objetivo de este artículo es dar algunas razo-nes para pensar, contra Pritchard, que este procedimiento es sólo aplicable a determinada clase de desacuerdos profundos. El tercer objetivo, que es tratado como subsidiario del primero, es defender la caracterización aquí manejada de los desacuerdos profundos frente a dos caracterizaciones alternativas.
IMPLICACIONES METAFILOSÓFICAS DE LOS DESACUERDOS FILOSÓFICOS PROFUNDOS
Authors: García Octavio
Published: December 2022

En este artículo exploramos las consecuencias metafilosóficas de la existencia de desacuerdos profundos en filosofía. Argumentamos que los desacuerdos profundos filosóficos implican un desafío para la actividad filosófica, ya que los desacuerdos profundos filosóficos impiden dirimir racionalmente entre teorías filosóficas. Ello hace inútil exigir y ofrecer razones a favor de una u otra teoría filosófica. Para superar este escollo, argumentamos que la argumentación filosófica es un fin en sí mismo y no un medio para alcanzar la resolución racional de desacuerdos filosóficos profundos. Para llegar a estas conclusiones, describimos dos teorías que intentan explicar los desacuerdos profundos en general. Luego, construimos una distinción entre desacuerdo intrafilosófico e interfilosófico para calificar los desacuerdos profundos filosóficos. Así, los desacuerdos interfilosóficos son aquellos que son desacuerdos filosóficos profundos, mientras los intrafilosóficos son apenas desacuerdos entre pares epistémicos. Posteriormente, exploramos la estructura de los desacuerdos profundos filosóficos y concluimos que las razones epistémicas y prácticas fallan para dar respuesta racional a estos. Finalmente, respondemos a dos objeciones sobre la existencia del lenguaje argumentativo en los debates filosóficos y la imposibilidad de progreso filosófico.
DESACUERDOS PROFUNDOS SOBREONTOLOGÍA CIENTÍFICA
Authors: Borge Bruno , D ́Onofrio Sasha , Madroñal Ignacio
Published: December 2022

Los desacuerdos acerca de la ontología científica han sido frecuentemente reconstruidos como el resultado de una disputa entre stances epistémicas rivales. En el presente trabajo, (i) caracterizamos algunos de estos desacuerdos como desacuerdos profundos. Además, (ii) mostramos que los desacuerdos profundos sobre ontología científica pueden surgir no solo de la adopción de diferentes stances epistémicas, sino entre posiciones que se encuadran dentro de una misma stance. El desarrollo de ese punto nos permite, a su vez, establecer una distinción entre tipos de desacuerdos profundos y explorar la posibilidad de que existan diferencias de grado entre ellos.
EL PAPEL DE LA CIENCIA EN EL DEBATE PÚBLICO. LA OBJETIVIDAD CIENTÍFICA DESDE EL MODELO DE LOS DESACUERDOS PROFUNDOSA
Authors: Yuhjtman Alejandra
Published: December 2022

En los desacuerdos profundos caracterizados por Robert Fogelin (1985/2005) las partes no comparten un marco común suficiente para que el intercambio argumentativo efectivamente ocurra. Los argumentos están presentes en tanto estructuras de proposiciones, pero no se desarrollan en tanto actividad. Algunos debates públicos, en particular aquellos que apelan a una resolución por la vía del conocimiento aportado por la ciencia, pueden reconstruirse desde la perspectiva de este modelo. ¿Puede construirse evidencia desde el conocimiento científico a partir de la cual construir, al menos parcialmente, ese marco común necesario? ¿Qué noción de objetividad es la más adecuada para tal fin? La propuesta de Fogelin es un punto de partida para reflexionar acerca de la resolución de los desacuerdos y el saber científico, en particular desde las nociones de inconmensurabilidad y objetividad. Se defiende que la objetividad en la actividad científica que resulta de las condiciones que permiten negociar significados puede funcionar para resolver algunos desacuerdos profundos.

Published: December 2022

De entre los peligros físicos presentes en las áreas de trabajo, los peligros ergonómicos de carácter biomecánico pueden implicar un mayor riesgo laboral para la salud. El objetivo de esta investigación fue validar un instrumento de identificación de la exposición a peligros ergonómicos y facilitar la priorización de los posibles riesgos ergonómicos en población trabajadora. Es un estudio transversal, se aplicó un cuestionario de peligros ergonómicos a 3.688 trabajadores de la industria manufacturera mexicana, bajo consentimiento informado. El cuestionario de identificación de peligros ergonómicos laborales contaba originalmente de 24 ítems dicotómicos. Para el análisis de validez concurrente se aplicó un cuestionario sobre enfermedades musculoesqueléticas diagnosticada durante los 12 meses previos y molestias musculoesqueléticas durante los 15 días previos. Inicialmente, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, se calculó la fiabilidad de la escala y se presentó una propuesta de interpretación usando los baremos 25, 50 y 75. El análisis resultó en una escala final de 14 reactivos con adecuado valor de fiabilidad (Alpha de Cronbach: 0,86 y Omega de McDonald: 0,94). El análisis de validez concurrente mostró un incremento significativo del riesgo de tener enfermedad de columna y molestias musculoesqueléticas en los trabajadores con puntajes altos de los peligros ergonómicos. Este cuestionario es de fácil aplicación, útil en la identificación de peligros ergonómicos, diferenciando su aplicación por sexo, esto que posibilita priorizar la evaluación específica, y se enfoca en la prevención de lesiones musculoesqueléticas.

The disappearance of forests and biodiversity in Côte d'Ivoire is also due to the expansion of urban areas. This expansion was carried out without any concern for the preservation or restoration of the natural resources. The Daloa area, in addition to the forest relics, contains shallows, important for agriculture. These shallows were mostly landing sites for drainage water from various horizons. To assess the conservation status of these environments, amphibians, due to their high sensitivity to changes in environmental conditions, were used to assess the biotic integrity of the ecosystems. Thus, daytime and night-time sampling were carried out in urban, peri-urban shallows and peri-urban forests. These acoustic, visual and capture samplings lasted 12 months and revealed the presence of 20 amphibian species. Nineteen species were found in urban shallows, peri-urban forests and 17 species in peri-urban shallows respectively. There was no significant difference between the species richness of the different habitats (Kruskal-Wallis test, p > 0.05). Furthermore, in the rainy season, amphibian diversity was higher in peri-urban forests than in shallows. In addition, over the whole study area, Amphibian abundance was higher in the rainy season than in the dry season. Also, the most frequent species in this area was Ptychadena mascareniensis. Finally, in the rainy season, the distribution of Amphibians in peri-urban forests was more equitable than that of dry season and in other sites.

Paraquat herbicide disrupts the hormone Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), causes testicular damage and changes in spermatogenesis. This study aims to determine the effect of supplementation of green bean sprout extract (Vigna radiata L.) on FSH levels, Sertoli cell counts in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by paraquat herbicide. This research uses true experimental with posttest only control group design. A total of 25 rats were divided into 5 groups: P0 was given standard feed, P1 was given paraquat 4 4 mg/g BW, P2 was given green bean sprout extract supplement (GBES) dose 21.6 4 mg/g BW and paraquat 4 mg/g BW P3 was given GBES dose 43.2 4 mg/g BW and paraquat is administered orally for 15 days. Measurement of FSH levels using ELISA, while Sertoli cells were observed using testicular histology preparate. Mann-Whitney test resulted significance of p<0.05, which showed that the administration of GBES influenced FSH levels and the number of Sertoli cells. GBES doses of 21.6 4 mg/g BW, 43.2 4 mg/g BW, and 86.4 4 mg/g BW were shown to increase FSH levels and Sertoli cell counts in paraquat-induced Wistar rats. GBES increased FSH levels and the number of Sertoli cells in paraquat-induced rats.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been considered a relentlessly worsening disease, due to the progressive deterioration of the pancreatic beta cell functional mass. Evidence indicates that remission of T2D may occur in variable proportions of patients after specific treatments that are associated with recovery of beta cell function. The recovery of beta cells has been shown in human islets obtained from non-diabetic organ donors that recover from “lipo-glucotoxic” conditions, and human islets isolated from T2D organ donors exposed to specific treatments or by a period of exposure to a “non-diabetic” milieu. The improvement of insulin secretion and the associated molecular traits unveil the possibility to promote T2D remission by directly targeting pancreatic beta cells.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system is largely used in clinical practice in patients with type 1 diabetes and insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a needful tool for a more comprehensive assessment of glucose control. Patients can benefit from real-time information on current glucose, glucose trend, and hypo or hyperglycemia alarms. Healthcare can rapidly understand how much time patients spend in a good glucose range, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Several clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of CGM in reducing glycated hemoglobin, as well as the time spent in hypoglycemia, and increasing the time in range. CGM reduces the rate of severe acute complications and hospital admission improving the quality of life. Patients on insulin treatment and pregnant women are the perfect candidates for CGM. However, even patients on non-intensive insulin treatment or other therapies might benefit from CGM to gain and maintain reasonable glycemic control, and again improve the quality of life.
The Question of Space in the Chilean Representation and Pavilion in Venice Biennale
Authors: Muscatello Mariagrazia
Published: December 2022

How significant is it to have a National Pavilion at the Venice Biennale? The question of exhibition space is crucial in defining the representation of a Nation, its cultural politics and geopolitical power. A study of the history of the Giardini and Arsenale pavilions reveals the status of nations and their importance over time. It is only since 2009 that Chile has had its Pavilion in the Arsenale. Before this date, the country’s representation in the context of the Art Biennale was marginal or almost absent. However, it must be remembered that Chile is the only country to which the Biennale dedicated an entire edition in 1974, titled Freedom for Chile for a democratic and antifascist culture to denounce Pinochet’s military coup in 1973. The military dictatorship (1973-89) also meant cultural isolation of the country and is since the 1990s that Chile has started to interlace its international cultural network again. The return to democracy represents an ongoing political and cultural process called transición (transition). This paper will discuss the case of Chile, its representation at the Venice Biennale and how the possibility of having a National Pavilion at the Arsenale influenced the country’s aesthetic production.
Nefs d’Or, Nefs d’Argent Between Space and Power
Authors: Missagia Andrea , Tosetto Feliciano
Published: December 2022

The so-called nefs were an important ‘presence’ in the European courts starting from the Late Middle Ages. They were precious miniature ships, shown during banquets held in the halls of the nobility. In addition to delighting the sight of diners thanks to their ornamental richness, they were used as containers of spices, drinks, or luxury silverware. The preciousness of the vessel and of its content were just some of the elements that determined the function of ostentation of power through the nefs. Taking into consideration sources and examples ranging from the fourteenth century to the early sixteenth century, the purpose of this contribution is to investigate both the spatial relationships in the practices of use of the object and those intrinsic to the object itself. The main trajectories of analysis refer to three spatial relationships: that of container and content, that of long-distance travel embedded in the object, and the geography of power in noble banqueting rituals. These spatial relationships reflect power relationships that will be investigated on a case-by-case basis in the course of our study.
Vital Spaces and Living Spaces in Contemporary Archival Practice
Authors: Vecchi Costantino
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the different meanings of ‘space’ that emerged in the context of the humanities’ ‘archival turn’. The changing nature of the archival spaces due to the advent of the digital age is analysed. This study also focused on how the different ‘spaces’ of the archives relate to ‘time’ and the power of control over information, and reflects on which spaces are ‘vital’ for an archive in the contemporary world. Eventually, the role of ‘outside/living’ spaces in critically questioning the archive as a knowledge production system will be traced through the case of the repatriation of sound recordings in ethnomusicology.
