Authors: Rao Laxmi Nagendra , Jalil Habibah Ab
Published: October 2021

Interest in educational robotics has grown in recent years, and many efforts have been undertaken across the globe to include robots into school instruction from kindergarten to high school, mostly in science and technology subjects. The current study is to determine teachers' technological acceptance and readiness to implement robotic technology in the teaching and learning process. A descriptive research design was employed which utilized a survey method. This survey was conducted among primary school teachers of Science, Mathematics, Design and Technology, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Malaysia. According to the findings, teachers' acceptance of robot technology in the classroom is at a modest 3.77 (SD = 0.598) while the readiness score is 3.67 (SD = 0.611). The findings indicated that school teachers are only moderately prepared to employ robotic technology in classrooms. Respondents also argued that the high cost of robotic technology is a significant barrier to incorporate robotic technology into teaching and learning. The practicality of this paper is the provision of insights for exploring adoption possibilities and barriers in auguring robots into primary school classrooms. This indicates that the higher the level of teachers’ acceptance, the higher teachers’ readiness in robotic technology. Respondents argued that the high cost of robotic technology is a significant barrier to incorporating robotic technology into teaching and learning.

Authors: Yusof Mazlan Muhamad , Jalil Habibah Ab , Perumal Thinagaran
Published: October 2021

Programming and coding are important skills and competencies in the 21st century. Due to this importance, robotics programming has been introduced in the Malaysian education system since 2013. Robotics is important in education because it could be used to cultivate various skills. Various studies have been conducted on robotics and its applications in education, and proponents of robotics believe that using robotics to teach programming could be impactful and effective in the Malaysian education context. On the other hand, many students think that programming is challenging. Consequently, some questions have arisen, such as the suitable programming language or platform to be used in Malaysian Primary School and the best instructional method. Studies have also examined the existing robotics modules used in the teaching and facilitation (T&F) process, in which it was found that the current curriculum is focused on introducing robotic programming. In this regard, there is a need to explore the current teaching design, pedagogy, and teachers’ practices. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore the teachers’ practice in teaching robotics programming as part of the Design and Technology (RBT) subject in Primary School. This study discusses teachers’ practices, the issues in robotics programming education, the importance of robotics to education, especially in primary schools, and the robotics kits and programming languages or platforms commonly used in schools. This study is a qualitative case study, and data were collected using in-depth interviews. The findings of this study have produced several key themes, namely: (a) RBT teacher practices (GRBT) in T&F, (b) Strategies in lesson planning, (c) Challenges and obstacles of T&F, (d) Use of technology, and (e) Teacher’s commitment. These are hoped to help educators, education administrators, and policymakers to understand the implications of robotics teaching in teaching programming.

Authors: Ying Ng Jia , Hassan Siti Aishah , Aziz Dzilal Abdul
Published: October 2021

Malaysia is a country with a diversified cultural background, ethnicities, and religions. Islam is the most widely practiced religion, followed by Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, other traditional Chinese religions, as well as other indigenous religions. Despite the richness of the cultural landscape, the counseling services in Malaysia seem to be very limited in terms of diversification of multiculturalism. Cultural relevance of counselling theories, adaptation of Western-trained counseling services to suit a Malaysian culture, and multicultural counseling competencies, are among the concerns in the profession. This paper focuses on factors that shape a counselor’s identity based on their cultural background, and its implications on multicultural counseling in Malaysia. Among the important factors highlighted in this paper are religious beliefs and values, locus of control, gender, and personality. This paper encapsulates the importance of understanding a counselor’s cultural identity for the effectiveness of multicultural counseling in Malaysia.

Authors: Ramarow Hasvinii , Hassan Norlizah C.
Published: October 2021

This study aims to identify the level of English language anxiety and level of motivation in speaking English among Malaysian Pre-University students. The research sample was composed of pre-university students in Selangor, Malaysia. Using a quantitative research method, the researcher distributed a survey questionnaire which was developed by adapting existing questionnaires by Pappamihiel (2002) for English language anxiety scale and Schmidt, Boraie, and Kassabgy (1996) for motivation. Results of the data analysis established there was a low level of English language anxiety in speaking English among pre-university students, and moderate level of motivation, yet the level of intrinsic motivation was slightly lower than the level of extrinsic motivation in speaking English among pre-university students. The results showed there was a significant correlation between English language anxiety and motivation in speaking language. However, there was no significant difference in gender for English language anxiety and motivation. There was a significant difference on races for English language anxiety and insignificant differences on races for motivation. The findings of this study may serve as a platform for school authorities and policymakers in developing motivation and reducing language anxiety among students.

Authors: Zainalabidin Nurulhana , Ma’rof Aini Marina
Published: October 2021

Teachers' preparedness is a critical component in implementing inclusive education. It is pertinent to understand whether mainstream instructors are ready for inclusion as the number of children with special needs increases steadily over the years. The Zero Reject Policy has accelerated the implementation of inclusive education in Malaysia. While this is an essential step forward, assessing teachers' readiness for change is critical. This study aims to find out the predictive factors (attitudes and self-efficacy) on the preparedness of mainstream primary school teachers towards the implementation of inclusive education. This study is of a correlational research design where questionnaires were distributed to 367 teachers randomly selected from a cluster of nine schools in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia. The results show that teachers have moderate levels of readiness, attitudes and self-efficacy. There are also significantly positive relationships and predictive correlations between attitudes and readiness as well as self-efficacy and readiness. This implies that attitudes and self-efficacy should be considered in gauging teachers' readiness in the implementation of inclusive education. Taken together, findings in this study could inform further inclusive education research in Malaysia and could be taken into consideration in the design and execution of teacher training courses on Inclusive Education.

Published: October 2021

In developing countries like Timor-Leste, regular road condition monitoring is a significant subject not only for maintaining road quality but also for a national plan of road network construction. The sophisticated equipment for road surface inspection is so expensive that it is difficult to introduce them in developing countries, and the monitoring is usually achieved by manual operation. On the other hand, the utilization of ICT devices such as smartphones has gained much attention in recent years, especially in developing countries because the penetration rate of the smartphone is remarkably increasing even in developing countries. The smartphones equip various high precision sensors, i.e., accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, and so on, in the small body in low price. In this project, we are developing an integrated road condition monitoring system that consists of smartphones, dashcams, and a server. There are similar trials in advanced countries but not so many in developing countries. This system assumes to be used in developing countries. The system is very low cost and does not require trained specialists in the field side. The items that are automatically inspected in this system were carefully selected with the local ministry of public works and include paved and unpaved classification, road roughness, road width, detection and size estimation of potholes, bumps, etc., at present. All the inspected items are visualized in Google Maps, Open Street Map, or QGIS with GPS information. The survey results are collected on a server and updated to more accurate values by the repeated surveys. On the analysis, we use several state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques. In this paper, we summarize related works and introduce this project’s target and framework, which especially focused on the developing countries, and achievements of each of our tasks.

Authors: Šimunović Ljupko , Ćosić Mario , Šojat Dino , Jurak Julijan
Published: October 2021

A Synthetic Population is first part of creating travel demand model by using activity-based approach. Population synthesis is application of algorithms that expanded representative samples of people or household with characterises (such as gender, car ownership, age or ethnicity etc.) to entire area of researching. Because of complexity of people decisions before or during travel, one attribute is not enough to fully describe what factors have impact on them. Population synthesis iterate a set of attributes for each person in the sample and after expansion and assigning weights create simulated people or household with their characteristic. Basic components are marginal distribution targets of household and person attributes, household and person samples and algorithm for selecting the sample records into a synthetic population such that the attributes of that population match the marginal targets. Goal of this paper is to present population synthesis and her importance for activity-based approach in travel demand modelling. The paper will consist of introduction, literature overview, presenting benefits and complexity of population synthesis, discussion and conclusion.
Overview of emerging road traffic data collection methods
Authors: Mihalinac Sandra , Ahac Maja , Ahac Saša , Šimun Miroslav
Published: October 2021

It is a well-known fact that the data on road traffic flow characteristics is essential for sustainable road network management. First road traffic volume counts date back to the 1950s when short-term periodic road traffic counts were carried out in cities worldwide. Manual traffic counting is one of the oldest and most technologically simple methods to obtain data on road traffic volume and its composition. Today, because of the ever-growing road transport demand, it has become clear that the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is vital to increase safety and tackle increasing emission and congestion problems. The introduction of ITS highly depends on the quality and quantity of traffic data. Under the growing requirement of long-term traffic flow information, various traffic data collection methods have evolved. They allow systematic recording of the traffic flow volume and composition but also vehicle speed, total gross weight, number of axles, axle load and travel destination. This data, which is collected continuously over longer periods, enables a detailed analysis of traffic flows, and represents the basis for decision making in planning, designing, construction and maintenance of road infrastructure. This paper gives an overview of traditional and emerging traffic data collection methods - both fixed and mobile - and the analysis of the current road traffic data collection methods used on the Croatian road network, in terms of their potential and limitations.
Possibilities of railway connection between Rijeka and Trieste within the European TEN-T network
Authors: Kralj Stjepan , Šarić Darko
Published: October 2021

In the existing railway network of the Republic of Croatia there is no direct connection between Rijeka and Trieste via Istria. It is theoretically possible to achieve this indirectly through several railway lines crossing Slovenia. As a result, our largest peninsula of Istria has remained completely isolated from the rest of the country from the point of view of rail transport. Trieste-Rijeka section is not included in the Mediterranean corridor, that is, in the basic TEN-T network. Some research [1], [2], [5] and facts show that there are numerous reasons for the construction of a new modern railway line between Rijeka and Trieste, which could be of great importance in the transport, technological and economic system of the Republic of Croatia and the European Union. The new concept of railway connection between Rijeka and Trieste envisages the construction of a new high-efficiency two-lane railway across the territory of Istria and partly across the territory of the Republic of Slovenia. In fact, the construction of a new railway line is foreseen on the Rijeka - Jurdani - Divača route, while the Divača - Trieste section is foreseen for reconstruction and modernization within the investment program of the Mediterranean Corridor. According to above research, this connection can be achieved in two ways: according to the first, the connection can be achieved by upgrading and modernizing existing lines on the route Jurdani - Pivka - Divača, and the second, by constructing a new line on the route Jurdani - Lupoglav - Divača. This second method of connection has the advantage in that it directly connects the Istrian railways into a complete system of Croatian railways.

Beethovens Ohr
Authors: Heinemann Michael
Published: October 2021

Beethoven war taub - und doch machte er Musik. Bis in seine letzten Lebensjahre suchte er nach neuen Klängen, erprobte effektvolle Spieltechniken an den Tasten des Klaviers. Denn das Gehör ist nicht die einzige Instanz, Schalleindrücke aufzunehmen. Hören meint nicht nur Wahrnehmen und Verstehen, sondern Empfinden und Spüren, Berührt- und Ergriffenwerden. Auf diese Vielfalt des Hörens will das Buch aufmerksam machen. Beethoven und seine Musik sind hierfür nun ein paradigmatisches und aufschlussreiches Beispiel, als er vielleicht der Erste war, der diese unterschiedlichen Modi der Wahrnehmung explizit machte: aufgrund der Fähigkeit, neue Klangideen nicht nur zu entwickeln, sondern auch äußerst präzise zu notieren. Das Buch erschließt eine entscheidende Dimension der Musik als buchstäblich sinnlich zu erfahrender Kunst und bietet die Handhabe zur Lösung vieler kniffliger Fragen der Beethoven-Diskussion.

Authors: Tavanaee-Sani Ashraf , Sharifi Roshanak , Nehbandani Zahra , Masoudi Mohammad-Hasan , Solouki Yasaman
Published: October 2021

Background: Influenza is a contagious and acute viral disease caused by influenza viruses involving upper and lower respiratory tract system, especially in the cold seasons. Children aged less than 5 years old, elderly people, immunocompromised patients, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions are at a higher risk for the disease and severe complications. Objectives: Due to the serious complications of influenza in certain groups, it is important to know which group of people are more at risk and need prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate the patients with confirmed influenza, identify the people who are at a higher risk for infection, and assess the clinical outcomes of disease among patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional and descriptive study, we studied the files of all patients with confirmed influenza referred to the health centers in Mashhad, Iran, during autumn and winter of 2019 when influenza virus was prevalent. The disease was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. We studied all registered data related to the flu, including gender, age, residency, history of vaccination, risk factors, complications, and clinical outcomes. Results: In this study, 2977 patients (3% outpatients vs. 97% hospitalized) with flu like syndrome were tested by RT-PCR for influenza. Out of 84 outpatients, only two cases were positive for influenza. Among hospitalized patients, 80 cases (51% male vs. 49% female; age range: 1 - 87 years) had a positive RT-PCR test, and influenza type A was seen in 95% of cases. Pneumonia was the most common complication. Death happened in 29 (35.36%) patients and three (33.33%) cases with risk factors. The highest number of influenza patients (31 [37.8%]) had been reported from district No. 3 of Mashhad municipality, which is a crowded place and near the holy shrine. Conclusions: The results showed a high prevalence of complication and death among hospitalized patients, especially among those who did not have a risk factor for influenza viruses. Comprehensive vaccination programs and promotion of knowledge about transmission routes are two important measures for disease prevention and lower death rates.

Published: October 2021

Background: Studies have shown that the polymorphism of genes involved in breast cancer in combination with environmental factors has an important role in the progression of breast cancer. Objectives: In this study, the association between polymorphism of the ERBB4 gene with breast cancer was investigated. Methods: In the present study, 110 patients with breast cancer and 110 healthy individuals were selected as controls. DNA extraction was performed on patients’ samples. The tetra-ARMS-PCR method was used to study rs13393577 polymorphism. Finally, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software using t-test. Results: The results of the study in the patients' group showed that the frequencies of TT, CT, and CC genotypes were 73, 15, and 1.8%, and allelic frequency in this group for T and C alleles were 95 and 5%, respectively. In addition, the results of the study in the control group showed that the frequencies of TT, CT, and CC genotypes were 86, 11, and 0.9%, respectively. The allelic frequencies in the control group for the T and C alleles were 97 and 3%, respectively. In addition, the risk ratio and allelic reliability were obtained for T allele was OR: 3.06: and CI = 0.31 – 29.94 and for C allele was OR: 0.32: and CI: 0.03 - 3.19, respectively. Finally, statistical analysis showed that no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that rs13393577 polymorphism in the EGFR gene (ERBB4) is not a genetic predisposing factor for breast cancer.
A Ética dos Antigos e a Ética dos Modernos
Authors: Berti Enrico ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The aim of this essay is to critically compare ancient ethics with modern ethics, considering them both under one particular aspect, namely, the relationship between ethics and intelligence. In fact, one of the most significant differences between ancient and modern ethics is precisely the divergence in how this relationship is conceived. With this in mind, an appendix is added, dedicated to the philosophy of the 20th Century, the time when the modern conception reaches a crisis point. In the conclusion, I also intend to speak about Christian ethics, which, while not exactly a philosophical ethic, occupies its own peculiar place, so to speak, in the way the relationship between ethics and intelligence is conceived.

Percepção e Linguagem
Authors: Teixeira Maria Teresa ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Symbolism is a basic synthetic activity required by human enterprise in order to be able to produce an occasion of actual existence. Whitehead regards perception as the most frequent and fundamental kind of symbolism. Language is another essential sort of symbolism. Immediacy and abstraction are two intersecting phases in the process of symbolism; we need both for the occasions of perception and the emergence of language. Whitehead unites various kinds of experience under the notion of symbolism and enhances the founding roles of perception and language. His doctrine is an outstanding insight into the wholeness of reality.

The Anthropocosmic responsibility of ethics is a reflection of the ambiental question above the ethics light. To take care of nature is beware of the present and future life. The anthropocosmic responsability is inside of complementary and necessity dialects idea, and this idea is also inside of man and nature. These perspective is showed by people that lived the nature experience, a way of been that express mutual respect. The ecology is an expression of harmony, the integration of all kind of life and nature ambient. The Chief Seatle had the conscience of this around 150 years ago and we are still in the beginning. We are looking for arguments to convince ourselves and other people that our intervention on nature is omnipotent and a strong power of destruction that could has no way back.

This paper aims to contribute for the clarification of the concept of Landscape, from the Portuguese Landscape Architecture school’s point of view. It begins to place the origins of this school within the occidental context. It describes synthetically the evolution of the concept since the word was registered and put in the context of earlier world representation symbolic Systems’. It tries to explain the meaning of Landscape, before the emergence of ecology, as a fundamental base to its scientific approach, and how did it evolve since then. A synthesis of the Landscape representation/construction modes along the times is presented, as well as a proposal of a classification of the correspondent paradigms.

“Deus Existe, com Efeito, Para si Próprio; Mas Deus Está Enganado"
Authors: Borges Paulo ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

We intend to catch some of the main lines of Fernando Pessoa’s thought by commenting three short but fundamental texts, in particular the Statement: “God exists, in fact, for himself; but God is deluded”. Starting from the vision of a primordial ground without ground, free from any determination, that only negating himself, or being negated, manifests in the multiplicity of levels and forms of the ontognosiological determinations, in one “illusion” / “creation” that engenders all the modes of being and consciousness, including the human and divine self-consciousness, Pessoa thinks and proposes the liberation from that in an initiation by des-illusion that can unveil the “Life” and uncreated “awareness” hidden in its own manifestation. That initiation is the “way of the Serpent”, seen as the process by which the mind experiments and understands all the entification possibilities - self, world and God - at the same time that it negates them and itself, returning to the primordial and unchangeable indetermination.
Transcendental Philosophy as a Research Programme
Authors: Lewin Michael
Published: October 2021

Transcendental philosophy was not born like Athena out of Zeus’s head, mature and in full armour from the very beginning. That is why in both prefaces to the Critique of Pure Reason (1781 and 1787) Kant introduces the concept of transcendental philosophy as an “idea.” The idea understood architectonically develops slowly and only gradually acquires a definite form. As witnessed by the works of Kant himself and of his predecessors and followers, the idea of transcendental philosophy has undergone a series of changes and adjustments compared to the initial plan. In this context, my goal is not simply exegesis and historical investigation of transcendental philosophy, but also to look at it from a systematic and methodological perspective. I examine the concept of transcendental philosophy from the viewpoint of programmatic metaphilosophy. The first part discusses programmatics as a distinct subsection of metaphilosophy. I argue that Kant’s architectonic methodology and the methodology of Lakatos can be used to understand the inception, development and degradation of philosophical systems. In the second part I look at the project of transcendental philosophy and the stages of its development from the standpoint of architectonics. The third part shows that Lakatos’s methodology can provide a detailed insight into the elements of transcendental philosophy, a clear idea of its logic and identify the component parts that can be improved and developed. In spite of the different levels of detailing and epistemological prerequisites, the methodologies of Kant and Lakatos can be combined to achieve a metaphilosophically informed and progressive understanding of philosophical projects.
El individuo moderno como híbrido entre lo humano y lo tecnológico: creación y experimentación en la vanguardia artística de principios del siglo XX
Authors: Mateo Hidalgo Javier
Published: October 2021

Este artículo presenta una reflexión del impacto de lo tecnológico en el imaginario sociocultural, analizando una etapa muy fructífera en esta relación: la modernidad y el desarrollo de la vanguardia. Debido a la actual presencia de fórmulas híbridas entre lo humano y la tecnología, se establece una genealogía de este tema como una constante en la historia del individuo y, específicamente, en la citada época. Su revisión actual se presta a asimilar una continuidad en dicha línea.Durante el desarrollo tecnológico de los siglos XIX-XX, el nuevo arte definió a la persona como un híbrido entre humano y máquina. La influencia de sus ficciones sobre lo maquinístico ha llegado hasta la actualidad, donde individuo, arte, ciencia y tecnología continúan interrelacionándose. Por ello, se presenta el estudio de las implicaciones de la vanguardia artística europea ante el paradigma iniciado en la modernidad, pudiendo contribuir a investigaciones que aborden esta temática.
On arrêt tout et on réfléchit. La detención del tiempo en el cine del 68 francés: varias paradas para otra erótica de la existencia, otra mirada al cuerpo y otro pensamiento de la Historia
Authors: Valle Corpas Irene
Published: October 2021

«Lo paramos todo y reflexionamos» era un lema cantado por los insurrectos del 68 francés. Este episodio no fue solo un ejercicio de frenesí revolucionario sino también una llamada a la interrupción de los ritmos cotidianos del capitalismo desarrollista y una negación de sus relatos históricos. A partir de una introducción al fenómeno seguida de un análisis de algunas cintas clave, indagaremos en la idea de la detención en el imaginario del 68, cuyos ecos resuenan durante la década siguiente. Las películas —L’An 01 de Doillon, Resnais y Rouch; Le Gai Savoir de Godard; In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni de Debord y Le fond de l’air est rouge de Marker— ilustran esa suspensión salvífica del tiempo y ejemplifican las virtudes que se le atribuían, a saber, la liberación de la vida del malsano compás de la producción, la aspiración a una mirada responsable y teóricamente informada o, finalmente, la potencia política que puede contener la memoria.
Game Studies. Aproximaciones metodológicas desde la Historia del Arte Medieval
Authors: Castiñeiras López Javier
Published: October 2021

En el presente artículo se ofrece un estado de la cuestión actualizado acerca de la relación del videojuego con el mundo de la cultura y de las disciplinas históricas. De manera concreta, se tratará de abordar el papel que la Historia del Arte Medieval puede ofrecer en el análisis y valoración de estos objetos culturales a partir de una doble vía definida, de una parte, por la Edad Media histórica y, de la otra, por el Medievo recreado. La saga Assassin´s Creed y títulos como Bloodborne o A Plague Tale: Innocence ofrecen visiones muy particulares de la arquitectura medieval y neomedieval, susceptibles todas ellas de formar parte del canon de obras medievalizantes de la cultura contemporánea y, por lo tanto, de ser objeto de estudio para la Historia del Arte Medieval.
Patrones de interferencia. Experimentos ópticos y táctiles de inmersión espacial, de la psicogeografía a los hologramas
Authors: Antón Javier , Lauter Max , Reina Teresa
Published: October 2021

El ímpetu de este proyecto es obtener una perspectiva histórica de algunas teorías filosóficas conflictivas sobre la percepción y representación del espacio, y rastrear un método démodé de representación, que ha permanecido en uso en algunos contextos. La investigación se centra en la tensión entre dos experiencias sensoriales: la táctil y la óptica. Es un entretejido de narrativas críticas para examinar los modos de percibir el espacio en el contexto de unas prácticas artísticas y arquitectónicas. Partiendo del entendimiento más óptico del espacio y materializado en algunos ejemplos como el «Proun Room» de El Lissitzky, «The Void» de Yves Klein y la visualidad tectónica de Lebbeus Woods como punto de partida; este artículo se centra en las teorías de percepción espacial más táctil de los ‘Situacionistas’ y ‘Surrealistas’, con sus técnicas de mapeo dérivé, su historia/memoria mediada del espacio urbano y su enfoque del capitalismo y los sistemas de control. Todo ello se interpreta por último a través de la lente de la práctica óptica de la holografía, y su éxito (y fracaso) como herramienta y formato de representación.
Teatro de masas en la Rusia posrevolucionaria: la proto-performance en los contextos urbanos y su influencia en la construcción de las identidades colectivas
Authors: Borisova Fedotova Anna , Tejeda Martín Isabel
Published: October 2021

Tras la Revolución de Octubre la sociedad rusa se enfrentó al enorme desafío de construir una cultura socialista en un país con arraigadas tradiciones religiosas y monárquicas y con la economía devastada. Para alcanzar este nuevo horizonte cultural y así cimentar las transformaciones políticas era necesario incidir en la construcción de las identidades colectivas -portadoras de una renovada conciencia ciudadana. En el presente artículo profundizaremos en el modo en que el teatro de masas contribuyó a cumplir este objetivo a través de nuevas fórmulas de habitar e interaccionar con el espacio público. Se incidía tanto en la transformación del sentido conferido al lugar, como en el establecimiento de un renovado vínculo del público con el espacio por medio de la identificación simbólica y la acción-transformación colectiva.
Leche, miel, polen. Experiencias temporales y sensoriales en la obra de Wolfgang Laib: la chambre des certitudes
Authors: Jiménez-Donaire Martínez Salvador
Published: October 2021

La obra de Wolfgang Laib abarca más de tres décadas y el artista se ha convertido en una de las figuras más respetadas de la escena contemporánea. Profundamente espiritual e imbuida de un sentido de ritualidad, su práctica incluye elementos de performance, escultura y arte minimalista y conceptual, además de referencias al jainismo, cristianismo e hinduismo. Empleando principalmente materiales naturales como la leche, el polen, el arroz y la miel de abeja, su trabajo es tan sensual como frágil. Este texto analiza las propuestas artísticas de Laib no como meros objetos sino como experiencia sensorial y física, centrándose en sus cualidades fragantes, hápticas y estéticas. Para ello, aquí se examina uno de los proyectos menos conocidos de Laib: una habitación de cera de abeja en los Pirineos franceses.Este texto argumenta cómo, gracias a la paciencia, perseverancia y continuidad en su proceso artístico, Laib ofrece una concepción temporal dilatada y transformadora a través de la contemplación, la inmersión y la sensorialidad.
Moros en palacio. Los relieves historiados del Palacio Real de Madrid, o el origen de una imaginería de la Reconquista a mediados del siglo XVIII
Authors: Argelich Gutiérrez María Antonia , Rega Castro Iván
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo se ocupa de la imaginería de la Reconquista desarrollada a partir del programa diseñado por Fray Martín Sarmiento para decorar el Palacio Real nuevo, en general, y de los relieves de las sobrepuertas de la Galería Principal, más en particular. Estas piezas escultóricas, terminadas entre 1753 y 1761, no solo fueron una forma de celebrar las glorias de la monarquía española en el pasado (medieval), sino también, y sobre todo, de publicitar una nueva imagen de la Reconquista que queremos revisar críticamente. Nos centraremos en las estrategias artísticas desarrolladas en la construcción de dichas imágenes de las guerras entre musulmanes y cristianos por parte de los intelectuales y artistas de la Ilustración, dado que fue precisamente en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII cuando se forjó el mito nacional de la Reconquista.
La configuración del espectáculo audiovisual en el Madrid de comienzos del siglo XIX: la fantasmagoría como preludio del arte total
Authors: Gómez Alonso Rafael
Published: October 2021

El presente artículo trata de establecer cómo a principios del siglo XIX, dentro de la cartelera de diversiones públicas de Madrid, comienza a anunciarse la fantasmagoría como un nuevo espectáculo que despertó un gran interés en la prensa del momento. Sin embargo, las precisiones de lo que realmente envolvía esta diversión, que tenía su origen tecnológico en la linterna mágica, engloba más allá de sus propias cualidades de proyección. A partir de la conjunción de diferentes ámbitos de la historia cultural, el objetivo fundamental de este estudio pretende contribuir a la ideación y reflexión de lo que pudo suponer dicho espectáculo como elemento integrador del arte total, décadas antes de que Richard Wagner teorizara sobre dicha condición de unificación de las artes. Desde estas premisas, se pretende explorar los ámbitos en los que se desarrolló dicha exhibición pública como fenómeno estimulador de fantasías visuales que integra diversas funciones y cualidades audiovisuales, escénicas, artísticas, científicas y pseudocientíficas.

Synthesis of traditional and new in the works of Chinese poet Hai Zi based on the image of grain
Authors: Tsybikova Valentina Vladimirovna , Zhanchipova Densema Bulatovna
Published: October 2021

For a long period, the development of Chinese literature is characterized by the continuity of artistic tradition. Chinese poetry of the reform and opening-up era draws profound interest, as it reflects the transformations of modern age and worldview in the Chinese society. This article is dedicated to examination of the traditional images of Chinese literature in the lyrics of prominent Chinese poet of the late XX century Hai Zi (1964–1989). Since old days, the image of grain resembles the world of nature, fertility, cyclicity of life, symbol of ethno-poetic traditions associated with the motif of hard peasant labor. A remarkable representative of the Chinese poetry of “new generation”, whose works embody the spiritual pursuits of the era, is the poet Hai Zi. Along with the traditional motifs and images, he integrates the elements of the original concept. This article is first within the Russian Sinology to analyze the system of artistic images in the lyrics of Hai Zi. The conclusion is made that the artistic uniqueness of the works of Chinese poet, this image acquires the individual authorial content – the bearer of creative energy and active principle, the link between the world of nature and a human.

In native microenvironment, diverse physical barriers exist to dynamically modulate stem cell recruitment and differentiation for tissue repair. In this study, nanoassembly‐based magnetic screens of various sizes are utilized, and they are elastically tethered over an RGD ligand (cell‐adhesive motif)‐presenting material surface to generate various nanogaps between the screens and the RGDs without modulating the RGD density. Large screens exhibiting low RGD distribution stimulate integrin clustering to facilitate focal adhesion, mechanotransduction, and differentiation of stem cells, which are not observed with small screens. Magnetic downward pulling of the large screens decreases the nanogaps, which dynamically suppress the focal adhesion, mechanotransduction, and differentiation of stem cells. Conversely, magnetic upward pulling of the small screens increases the nanogaps, which dynamically activates focal adhesion, mechanotransduction, and differentiation of stem cells. This regulation mechanism is also shown to be effective in the microenvironment in vivo. Further diversifying the geometries of the physical screens can further enable diverse modalities of multifaceted and safe unscreening of the distributed RGDs to unravel and modulate stem cell differentiation for tissue repair.

Of a variety of intercalated materials, 2D intercalated systems have attracted much attention both as materials per se, and as a platform to study atoms and molecules confined among nanometric layers. High‐precision fabrication of such structures has, however, been a difficult task using the conventional top‐down and bottom‐up approaches. The de novo synthesis of a 3‐nm‐thick nanofilm intercalating a hydrogen‐bonded network between two layers of fullerene molecules is reported here. The two‐layered film can be further laminated into a multiply film either in situ or by sequential lamination. The 3 nm film forms uniformly over an area of several tens of cm2 at an air/water interface and can be transferred to either flat or perforated substrates. A free‐standing film in air prepared by transfer to a gold comb electrode shows proton conductivity up to 1.4 × 10−4 S cm−1. Electron‐dose‐dependent reversible bending of a free‐standing 6‐nm‐thick nanofilm hung in a vacuum is observed under electron beam irradiation.
