herman de vries, random objectivation v67-36c
Authors: De Boer Cees , De Windt Rob
Published: February 2025

In its collection of twentieth-century art, the Rijksmuseum holds several works by the artist herman de vries. Among them is an exceptional white wall relief from 1967 measuring more than six metres across, on long-term loan from Wageningen University & Research random objectivation v67-36c was created as an art commission for the then newly built accommodation of the Instituut voor Toegepast Biologisch Onderzoek in de Natuur (ITBON), where de vries was working as a research assistant at the time. The relief belongs to an extensive series of artworks de vries called random objectivations, conceived on the basis of mathematical tables of objective-random numbers used by de vries in conducting biological experiments and subsequent evaluations. As revealed by the authors’ research in the ITBON archives, the nature of de vries’s scientific activities during these years centred on the study of ecological networks, an approach first developed in the late nineteen twenties as a new paradigm in the field of biology. By examining the scientific context in which de vries’s relief was created, the authors arrive at a more focused interpretation and ecological contextualization of de vries’s random objectivations.
Constructing hope in hopelessness: Politics of hope and playful resistances of affective publics in TikTok’s #corecore #pinoycore
Authors: Catangay John Rovic
Published: February 2025

TikTok has been a site for increasing political activities. But what exactly constitutes political activity? I analyzed #corecore, a trend in the social media platform TikTok that portrays hopelessness in our present realities, and its localization through its combination with #pinoycore. I located the affective political performances of the trend’s creators. Employing thematic analysis to 37 videos, I firstly identified the themes of playful affordances that allowed for the (re)production of #corecore #pinoycore videos. I argued that sound bites, hashtags, and weaved short clips in a single short-form video allows for the constant production and reproduction of #corecore #pinoycore. Second, I identified three affective themes – (1) affective news, (2) tragic reality of social, political, and economic conditions, and (3) recollecting the past – that allow the trend to carry intense emotions in its political performances. The playful affordances and affective intensities that exist in #corecore #pinoycore allow politics of hope and playful resistances to be performed through the trend. Such is seen through a critique of Philippines’ present realities and a reimagination of future possibilities. These affective political performances unearth the role of emotions such as hope and hopelessness in shaping the political, along with its performances and possibilities.
Systematic Review of Published Literature on International Humanitarian Law from Islamic Perspective
Authors: Elshobake Mohammed R. M.
Published: February 2025

Scholars and researchers have discussed rules and principles related to international humanitarian law from Islamic perspective, focusing on three rules and principles: the rules of war and peace, principles for the protection of civilians, and principles for the protection of civilian objects. The primary aim of this study was to systematically review and organize existing research and studies concerning the rules and principles of international humanitarian law from an Islamic perspective. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines, identifying and examining relevant literature in the Scopus database. The process involved defining the search criteria, selecting pertinent articles, and analyzing the findings.These findings show that there is a focus on some rules and principles of international humanitarian law from an Islamic perspective, such as principle of peace and war, the principles of proportionality, necessity, and reciprocity, in addition to protection of vulnerable people in armed conflict such as: children and persons with disabilities, and prisoners of war. Nerveless, there is no research on the principles of protecting many types of civilians, such as women, the elderly, workers in the medical sectors, journalists, and media professionals. As well as no research on the principles of protecting many types of civilian objects, such as: medical facilities, educational facilities, places of worship, and press facilities. Therefore, future research should address this gap in the published literature to better grasp the rules of international humanitarian law from Islamic perspective.

Published: February 2025

Single-step genomic best linear unbiased predictor (ssGBLUP) is a method for jointly estimating breeding values (BV) for genotyped and non-genotyped animals. Genomic information in the Italian Mediterranean Buffalo (IMB) is now available and its inclusion in the genetic evaluation system could increase both accuracy and genetic progress of the traits of interest of the breed. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of ssGBLUP and to present the first results of the implementation of a genomic evaluation for production and type traits in the IMB. Phenotypic information on production (270-day milk, mozzarella yield (MY), protein and fat kg and %, respectively) and morphology: feet and legs (FL) and mammary system (MS) were used for this study. Production records included 743,904 lactations from 276,451 buffalo cows born from 1984 to 2019. Morphological traits were from 91,966 buffalo cows from 2004 to 2022. Regarding the genotypes, a total of 2,017 buffalo cows and 133 bulls were used. Data were analysed fitting two multitrait animal models, a 6-trait model for production data and a 2-trait model for morphology data. According to the relationship matrix used, two models were fitted: (i) the BLUP with the numerator relationship matrix (A); (ii) the ssGBLUP where A and the genomic relationship matrix (G) are blended into H. BV were estimated with BLUP and ssGBLUP models. Three different scenarios were used, according to the cut-off year used to create the partial datasets, namely 2012, 2015 and 2017. In each scenario, correlation, accuracy, dispersion, and bias statistics were calculated (LR method). Both bulls (N=49) and cows (N=1288) were used for validations. On average, correlation between EBVs from partial and whole datasets estimated with BLUP and ssGBLUP increased from 6 to 49% and from 14 to 17% for production and type traits, respectively. Among the traits analysed, the ones most affected by the change were protein/fat content, MY, and AM. The accuracy increase for these traits was above 20% when using the ssGBLUP. All LR statistics improved also for non-genotyped females. These results showed that implementing ssGBLUP in the breeding program can generate more accurate predictions for important traits in dairy IMB than traditional BLUP.
Mapping Cultural Memory: A Metatheoretical Exploration of the Field Through Devaki Nilayamgode’s Antharjanam: Memoirs of a Namboodiri Woman
Authors: Salomi J Kottoor
Published: February 2025

The research is a unique attempt to analyse the theoretical framework of Cultural Memory Studies, conceptualised in the early 20th century by Maurice Halbwachs. This framework explores the reciprocal relationship between culture and memory, contextualising individual memory within a broader cultural context. Memories of the past shape our perception of the present, highlighting the importance of detailed study. The scope of this emerging field is examined through Devaki Nilayamgode’s 2011 memoir, Antharjanam: Memoirs of a Namboodiri Woman, which explores her lived experiences and the circumscribedlives of the Antharjanams. By focusing on specific examples from Nilayamgode’s memories, the research aims to understand the socio-cultural landscape of early 20th-century Kerala. The study employs metatheoretical analysis and hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to investigate Cultural Memory Studies and the personal experiences of Namboodiri womenduring the pre-independence period in Kerala, as well as the transformations over time. This research underscores the critical role of cultural memory in shaping societal narratives and contributes to the broader understanding of historical and cultural dynamics.
Hope in the Face of Adversity: Exploring the Resilient Human Spirit in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Afterlives
Authors: Varadha P Nair
Published: February 2025

Abdulrazak Gurnah's Afterlives offers a poignant exploration of displacement, identity, and resilience. While existing scholarship has delved into the novel’s colonial and postcolonial dimensions, the role of hope as a central thematic force remains understudied. This research aims to fill this gap by exploring the multifaceted nature of ‘hope’ as a driving force in the lives of its characters, revealing how it shapes their identities, relationships, and, ultimately, their destinies in the novel. Employing Hope Theory and drawing on insights from Postcolonial Feminist theory, this study will analyze how hope is experienced and expressed differently by male and female characters in the context of colonial oppression.
'Luca': A metaphorically charged queer experience.
Authors: Athulya S Menon
Published: February 2025

Queer theory in film explores narratives that veer away from the traditional heteronormative
perspectives. Queer theory’s origins are complex, melding aspects from feminism, oppositional
film making, post-structuralism and radical movie making. Queer theory in film is both an
academic approach and a form of political action, challenging the dominant norms of
heterosexuality within film making. One key concept in queer film theory is the idea of
queering the gaze, which involves challenging the stereotypical and traditional notions as well
as the overpowering heterosexual viewpoints in cinema. This can include subverting the gender
norms, exploring non-binary identities, portraying relationships outside the mainstream. This
article is an attempt to dissect the metaphorically charged and queer coded possibilities of the
2021 Pixar animated movie, ‘LUCA’ and how the film's central relationship between the two
young protagonists, Luca and Alberto, has taken on an even deeper significance - one that
speaks to the evolving landscape of queer representation in animation. Not only is this an
attempt to spark intriguing discourse surrounding the potential of animation as a queer medium,
embracing ambiguity and fluidness but is also aimed at understanding queering a medium,
especially when its possibility is explicitly denied, highlighting the tarnished morals behind
queer baiting.

With the rapid advancement of the internet era, the digitization of Chinese Buddhist texts has expanded significantly, offering unprecedented opportunities for scholarly research. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of digitized Chinese Buddhist texts, surveying over 100 digital resources and providing practical insights for their effective application. The discussion is structured into four key categories: The first category, Catalogs of Ancient Texts, highlights foundational bibliographic resources from China and Japan, including essential catalogs and their digital counterparts.

The second category, Image Resources, examines manuscripts and printed editions. The manuscript section catalogs digitized images and listings of Dunhuang scrolls, Turfan documents, and ancient Japanese sutra manuscripts. The printed edition section features more than ten major Buddhist canons, such as the Jin Canon and the First Edition of the Goryeo Canon, detailing their digital images and the distribution of collections worldwide. It also addresses relevant bibliographies, electronic tools, and the progress in digitizing stone inscriptions and rubbings.

The third category, Text Resources, reviews the content and application guidelines of over ten databases, including CBETA and SAT, while also incorporating multilingual databases pertinent to Buddhist studies.

The fourth category, Tools and Methods, introduces resources such as dictionaries, catalogs, multilingual text comparison tools, textual similarity analysis, and digital sutra compilation. It further explores key methodologies for digital Buddhist studies, including quantitative word analysis, visualization techniques, and large-scale text compilation. The paper concludes by proposing a systematic, step-by-step framework for engaging with digital resources, inspired by traditional philological practices. This framework encompasses developing a comprehensive understanding of available resources, applying them effectively, integrating multiple digital tools, constructing customized databases, and conducting large-scale research.

Цифровые потребности инвалидов и перспективы их реализации в системе городских сервисов
Authors: Стецко Е.В. , Киселёва Д.А.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена рассмотрению подходов к исследованию цифровых потребностей инвалидов и людей с ограниченными возможностями с целью, во‑первых, осознания важности и масштабности проблем инвалидов в современном мире; во‑вторых, для уточнения стратегии инклюзивности, представленной в Конвенции о правах инвалидов (2008), на принципах которой разрабатываются современные методики адаптации инвалидов в социуме; в‑третьих, для понимания того, как современный «умный город» может создавать цифровые услуги для инвалидов. Современное понимание инклюзивности, в целом, базируется на трех составляющих – доступности образования и включенности в образовательный процесс; доступной мобильности и максимально удобного передвижения и доступности современных информационно-­коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ), позволяющих вести активную трудовую и социальную жизнь. Реализация каждого из этих трех направлений связана, во‑первых, с готовностью общества признать инвалидов его неотъемлемой и равной частью; во‑вторых, с совершенствованием протоколов доступности ИКТ; в‑третьих, с мониторингом потребностей инвалидов и трансформацией этих потребностей и проблем в цифровые решения (цифровые сервисы). В статье приведены некоторые результаты исследования потребностей инвалидов, полученные петербургским научным коллективом, занимающимся оценкой социальной результативности электронного взаимодействия граждан и власти в Санкт-­Петербурге на примере городских цифровых сервисов. Делается вывод о необходимости постоянного мониторинга потребностей инвалидов и создания цифрового сервиса для инвалидов в рамках цифровой экосистемы города.

Проблемы химического и микробиологического загрязнения воды устьевой области р. Дон в 2010–2023 гг.
Authors: Зубцов В.С.
Published: February 2025

Представлен обзор современного экологического состояния устьевой области реки Дон, которая условно разделена на три участка: от станицы Раздорская до вершины дельты в районе г. Ростов-на-­Дону, дельта и Таганрогский залив. В исследование включены следующие гидрохимические и микробиологические показатели: БПК5, ХПК, нитритный азот, содержание нефтепродуктов, общего железа, тяжёлых металлов, санитарно-­показательных микроорганизмов (ОКБ, ТКБ, E. coli) и патогенных бактерий р. Salmonella. Ежегодно в воде регистрируется превышение предельно допустимых концентраций загрязняющих веществ и содержание санитарно-­показательных микроорганизмов, также периодически фиксируется превышение ПДК по нефтепродуктам, органическим веществам и нитритному азоту. Обнаружение патогенных бактерий р. Salmonella в воде в районах г. Азов и г. Ростов-на-­Дону, где сосредоточены основные зоны рекреации и водозаборы, свидетельствует о потенциальной эпидемической опасности источников водопользования в отношении ОКИ. Необходимо подчеркнуть, что речная вода в районах городов Ростов-на-­Дону, Азов, Таганрог, Аксай и прилегающих селитебных территорий с санитарно-­экологических и эпидемиологических позиций не удовлетворяет гигиеническим требованиям, предъявляемым к качеству вод поверхностных водоемов. Интенсивное техногенное загрязнения начинается с г. Ростове-на-­Дону, в то время как фекальное загрязнение распределено по всей устьевой области. Значительный вклад в биологическое загрязнение воды р. Дон вносят различные рекреационные объекты, такие как базы отдыха, пансионаты, расположенные практически вдоль всей береговой линии устьевой области. Многие из этих объектов не обеспечены доступом к централизованной системе водоотведения, что приводит к сбросу сточных вод в реку без предварительной очистки. Указанный набор проблем природопользования дополняется вопросами, связанными с нарушением гидрологического режима, сокращением водного стока и наносов реки.
A Multi-Proxy Investigation of the Anthropogenic Landscape Near the Early Bronze Age Building VII at Al-Khashbah, Oman

Published: February 2025

The Early Bronze Age in southeastern Arabia is characterized by a significant shift in the archaeological record that coincides with the regional deterioration of climatic conditions associated with the end of the Holocene Humid Period. This study presents evidence for human modification of the local landscape around Building VII, a large circular structure at Al-Khashbah, Oman dating to the late third millennium BC. Through multiproxy analyses combining archaeological, geophysical, geomorphological, pedological and malacological, geochemical, palynological, and archaeobotanical datasets, we found evidence for the excavation of sediments at the foot of Building VII during the Umm an-Nar period. This excavation was subsequently filled by sediment presenting evidence for soil development, increased organic carbon, salt enrichment, microcharcoal, and snails. We suggest that both the excavation and subsequent aggradation may be related to gardening activities, though archaeobotanical and palynological analyses did not yield sufficient preserved material for local vegetation reconstruction. Nevertheless, our results contribute valuable insights into local human-environmental interactions and show that investigations beyond the visible archaeology of the monumental buildings of Early Bronze Age Oman can record a wide range of human activities and land modification near these important sites. These results have the potential to provide information on the resilience and adaptation to climate aridification by Umm an-Nar period peoples in central Oman and landscape modification during this period of economic transformation, increasing sedentarization, and growing social differentiation.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Kidney failure is a condition of sudden decline in kidney function. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are unable to remove metabolic waste from the body or perform their regular functions. Chronic kidney failure is treated by performing long-term hemodialysis which can have an impact on the patient's quality of life. The study aims to determine the relationship between the impact of hemodialysis therapy and the quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients.
Methods: The study was correlated with a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 34 patients on hemodialysis and was selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected by questions and analyzed using the Spearman rho correlation test.
Results: Most female patients aged 30-45 years with a duration of hemodialysis therapy over 1 year. Most patients experience the effects of hemodialysis therapy badly. However, their quality of life is good. There is a significant relationship between hemodialysis therapy and the quality of life of patients (0.001).
Conclusion: Increasing the provision of counseling related to the impact of hemodialysis therapy and assisting patients to improve their quality of life.

This study aims to examine the effect of managerial support on employee creativity in SHY-145 approved aircraft maintenance organizations operating in Turkey and authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). A quantitative research method was adopted in the study and a relational survey model was used. Data were collected from 362 technical personnel selected by convenience sampling method. A questionnaire form consisting of three sections was used as a data collection tool, and in addition to demographic information, Manager Support Scale and Employee Creativity Scale were applied. According to the regression analysis results, managerial support has a positive and significant effect on employee creativity. Analyses conducted according to demographic variables revealed that both managerial support and employee creativity variables did not show a significant difference according to gender, marital status, age and professional experience groups. In line with the results of the study, it is recommended that creative leadership training programs should be organized for managers in aircraft maintenance organizations, formal mechanisms should be established where technical personnel can share their creative ideas, performance evaluation systems should be restructured to encourage creative thinking, and regulations should be included in DGCA regulations to encourage creative thinking. In future studies, it is suggested investigating the moderating effects of variables such as organizational culture, technological competence and job security climate and conducting comparative studies covering aircraft maintenance organizations in different countries.

Chemical pesticides are often employed in agricultural fields in modern agriculture to boost crop output. These pesticides influence the activity and abundance of beneficial soil microbial communities, in addition to controlling insect pests. Chemical pesticides disrupt soil microbial activities, which may alter the soil’s ability to raise a crop. This has led to detrimental effects on soil ecosystem. With unprecedented use of pesticides, challenges related to bio-accumulation and bio-magnification has increased manifolds, which has necessitated pesticide removal by bio-degradation pathways. Pesticide degradation is influenced by a number of variables, including soil moisture, temperature, pH, pesticide composition and concentration. Insect pests and weeds in crops are effectively controlled with pesticides. This review examines pesticide associated risks, the mechanism of microbial degradation of pesticides, the factors that affect the degradation of pesticidesand the new pesticides due to the substantial threat that pesticide residues pose to the environment and human health.

A field experiment was carried out in open field condition at Research Farm, under Mandsaur University, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh), India to study the effect of foliar spray of nano fertilizer on Growth of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), during Rabi season of 2022-2023. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. (Lok-1) was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 08 treatments in 3 replication, accommodating Spacing (Row x Row) of 20cm with net plot size of 10.8 m2 . From the analysis of variance (ANNOVA) a noteworthy amount of variability was observed among all eight treatments and all the seven quantitative character studies. The present study revealed that the application of 100% NPK + 2 spray of nano fertilizer is more advantageous in terms of growth and productivity. Again it delivered maximum gross return and net return along with better benefit cost ratio. Hence it was found that, 100% NPK + 2 spray of nano fertilizer is a more systematic management of nutrient for the sandy loam soil of Mandsaur area of Madhya Pradesh. This study suggests the application of supplementary dose of nano fertilizer along with chemical fertilizer in order to enhance the production and productivity of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at Mandsaur and their nearby areas.

Published: February 2025

This in vitro study aimed to assess the combined effects of several digital manufacturing techniques (subtractive versus 3D printing) and distinct finish line designs (chamfer versus feather edge) on the marginal fit of posterior single interim crowns. Materials and Methods: Two specially designed stainless-steel dies, resembling mandibular first molars, were constructed to receive forty interim crowns (die A featuring a chamfer finish line and die B featuring a feather edge finish line). The interim crowns were designed (n=40) and categorized based on digital fabrication techniques into two primary groups (n=20): subtractive and 3-D printing. Each group is further subdivided into two equal subgroups (n=10) based on finish line design (chamfer and feather edge) as follows: Subtractive with Chamfer finish line group; SC, Subtractive with Feather edge finish line group; SF, 3D Printing with Chamfer finish line group; PC, 3D Printing with Feather edge finish line group; PF. Two-way ANOVA and Shapiro-Wilk tests were conducted for analysis. The findings indicated a significant interaction between finish line design and fabrication method (p=0.015), with SF exhibiting markedly higher marginal gap values than SC (p<0.001). The difference for printed restorations was not statistically significant (p=0.137). Furthermore, it was demonstrated that irrespective of finish line design, milled restorations exhibited substantially greater gap values than printed restorations (p<0.001). Conclusions: Interim crowns fabricated using 3D printing technology possess superior marginal fit compared to those that are milled.

Abstract: The increase of CO2 concentration significantly results in severe greenhouse effect. Reducing emission and chemically utilizing CO2 are effective means to solve this problem. CO2 cycloaddition reaction with epoxide is atomically economical and environmentally friendly. However, current catalytic systems still have a long way to go for high catalytic efficiency under mild conditions. Solar energy has demonstrated excellent characteristics in direct photothermal utilization, photocatalytic reactions, and photoelectrochemical reactions recently. Therefore, herein this review summarizes the research work on solar energy mediated CO2 cycloaddition reactions in the past decade. Firstly, the heat generated by photothermal effects is confined to the local space and can be more effectively absorbed by reaction molecules for efficient reactions, greatly reducing the energy consumption of traditional thermal reactions. CO2 cycloaddition with carbon-based materials, polyoxometalates (POM), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts are reviewed and analyzed; Secondly, semiconductor exhibit high activity due to activation of reactants by photogenerated charges and holes. Single atom catalysts, composites, atomic clusters, MOFs, COFs, Porous organic polymers (POPs), and others used in such reaction are reviewed and analyzed; Finally, the solar light mediated photothermal synergistic catalysis and the reaction system of light and external heating synergy are introduced and analyzed. Last but not least, some issues in the development of solar energy mediated CO2 cycloaddition reactions are analyzed and discussed, and future research prospects are proposed on this basis.
A UNIQUE ROMAN JAR FROM AN UNKNOWN CONTEXT

Published: February 2025

The present article offers an analysis of a seemingly typical Roman jar, if we consider
the manufacturing technique, fabric and its typology. However, the vessel was decorated with motifs
which are rather specific to Late Iron Age (Dacian) pottery traditions. Although the context of
discovery is unknown, it can be presumed with a level of certainty. Despite this, the mix of Roman
technology and possible Dacian decorative elements make this jar particularly important.
LA CARRIÈRE D’ULPIUS CERIALIS ET LES GUERRES
DE MARC AURÈLE / The career of Ulpius Cerialis and the wars of Marcus Aurelius.
Authors:   Avignon Université / HiSoMA, Rossignol Benoit
Published: February 2025

We reconsider a
recently published equestrian career from Vinča, which is the career of Marcus Ulpius Cerialis. He
was praepositus during the Parthian war of Lucius Verus (AD 161–166) and commanded legionaries
from Cappadocia and auxiliaries from Hispania. His second military decorations were obtained
during the Germanic war from 169 to 175, but was awarded to him during the triumph of 176.
Consequently, we propose a new chronology of his career and link it with other important actors
of Marcus Aurelius’ reign.
THE CODEX CSÍKSOMLYOVIENSIS – CODEX MS 43/TQ-136H
(CICERO, FRONTINUS, HORATIUS, VEGETIUS).
PRELIMINARY REPORT
Authors:   Hungarian National Museum, Budapest, Szabó Ádám
Published: February 2025

The 14th century codex, which belonged to the library of the Franciscan Monastery
of Șumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó / Schomlenberg, today a district of the municipality of Miercurea
Ciuc / Csíkszereda / Seklerburg, Harghita County) from the 1700s at the latest, became part of the
Bibliotheca Telekiana collection (Teleki Téka), today Teleki-Bolyai Library in Târgu Mureș (Mureș
County), in the early 19th century. The codex contains the works De legibus by Cicero (1st century
BC), De re militari by Vegetius (4th-5th century AD) and Strategemata by Frontinus (1st century AD).
In addition to these, in the late medieval or early modern period, the first part of Horace’s Ode I.28
was added, in a hitherto unknown version. The parts of the codex were made in the same workshop,
probably in Soissons, France, in the first third of the 1300s. There is no break between the works,
and the volume was designed, probably to order, with this structure containing the three works
in mind from the outset. Three different handwritings and three different types of abbreviations,
belonging to the same period, as well as initials, can be distinguished, suggesting that there were
at least three copyists. Instead, only two illuminators can be identified. The copyists attributed
one of Vegetius’ books to Cicero and gave the same title to the books of Frontinus and Vegetius.
Cicero’s book bears the correct title, inserted between books II and I of Vegetius. Abbreviations and
omissions of passages are also frequent in the codex. Subsequent readers and owners wrote notes in
the margins. The book was restored and bound in the early 19th century, after 1816. Because of its
importance and place of provenance, we propose the name “Codex Csíksomlyó” / “Codex Șumuleu
Ciuc”, Codex Csíksomlyoviensis, along with the current identification MS43/Tq-136h. The codex is
unpublished, and the critical edition and facsimiles are in progress.
