Pasiones y tensiones entre la alfarería, la cerámica y el arte contemporáneo. El doble proceso de artificación y de patrimonialización en un mundo periférico del arte contemporáneo
Authors: Ullauri Lloré Elisa
Published: May 2018

Este artículo propone analizar el desplazamiento de las fronteras artísticas a través del caso de la cerámica contemporánea, dentro de la gran nebulosa de los mundos del arte contemporáneo. Más allá de la división clásica entre arte y artesanía, se observa la cohabitación de dos regímenes – patrimonial y arte contemporáneo - dando lugar a un arte entre dos procesos: artificación y patrimonialización. Este estudio de caso muestra que a pesar de sus múltiples tensiones entre saber-hacer y cultura de la tecnofilia, es gracias a los valores diferenciales entre arte contemporáneo y artesanía, que la cerámica existe como mundo del arte del arte contemporáneo singular y periférico. Y que la dificultad de su definición se encuentra atravesada por las paradojas, las cuales coexisten y se afirman dentro de la identidad colectiva de esta comunidad artística, como un valor.
Situación del arte contemporáneo chileno.
Authors: Maulen de los Reyes David
Published: May 2018

La definición de un arte contemporáneo en América Latina pasa por una suma de determinantes complejas. Por un lado, ha sido tradicional intentar introducirse a la discusión globalizada sobre el tema y, por otro, ha sido tan necesario como resistido revisar las determinantes locales de transformaciones de la cultura.

Durante los años 2000 y 2001 se desarrolló un proyecto para la Bienal de Arte del Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (MNBA) en Santiago de Chile. Su foco estuvo en explorar los sistemas de representación social y los diversos dispositivos de producción simbólica que determinaban el campo artístico.

Fue una experiencia resistida por el medio local pero que arrojó algunos valiosos resultados. A través de este artículo se ponen en evidencia la mayoría de los referentes utilizados en ese proyecto, así como los medios con los cuales se estructuró su opción metodológica para abordar la pregunta por la posibilidad o imposibilidad de un arte contemporáneo local.
Educación artística e institución universitaria una relación paradójica.
Authors: Jaramillo Morán Gonzalo Alfredo
Published: May 2018

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo hacer una breve reflexión crítica sobre la educación artística como campo de construcción de conocimiento y su relación con la institución universitaria. La universidad actual, no ha dejado de ser el referente máximo de lo que significa conocimiento avanzado o superior, pero al mismo tiempo, se encuentra en entredicho en cuanto a cuál es su rol en la sociedad actual y a qué intereses representa.
Estética de la ruina: la potencia de los vestigios en el arte contemporáneo
Authors: Adler Jazmín
Published: May 2018

El presente artículo analiza los modos en que diferentes obras contemporáneas asiduamente discurren sobre la figura de la ruina desde un punto de vista material y conceptual. Luego de revisar el atractivo ejercido por los vestigios en distintos períodos de la historia del arte, el trabajo focaliza en una serie de proyectos realizados en las últimas décadas, con el objetivo de dilucidar las distintas configuraciones adoptadas por la ruina en el arte contemporáneo. El artículo concluye que la potencia de los vestigios en las prácticas artísticas de nuestros tiempos radica en su capacidad para sustituir el paradigma epistemológico de base ontológica, heredado de la modernidad, por otro que considere a la historia como campo de tensiones.
Arte contemporáneo, arteBA y el efecto de aura
Authors: Feldman Jonathan
Published: May 2018

El modo de circulación del arte más extendido en la contemporaneidad es la producción de exhibiciones y eventos culturales. La escena artística se desarrolla alrededor de la conformación de lecturas acerca de las obras y los temas más diversos, y a su vez en la órbita de un mercado que es cada vez más transnacional y deslocalizado. Es un doble movimiento que permite tanto la proliferación e hibridación de las más diversas formas de producción como la introducción de estos productos en la lógica mercantil.

Este artículo analizará la circulación del arte argentino durante la edición 26 de la feria arteBA (2017), y abordará las complejidades de la escena artística contemporánea local. Se preguntará por el alcance actual de las definiciones de Walter Benjamin acerca de la reproductibilidad técnica, para afirmar la existencia de lo que se denominará efecto aura en los modos de producción y circulación del arte contemporáneo.
Outlier detection of land surface temperature: Küçükçekmece Region
Authors: Kuşak Lütfiye , Küçükali Ufuk Fatih
Published: May 2018

Unplanned and rapid urbanization is one of the reasons for the rising surface temperature values in urban areas. There is a considerable amount of literature demonstrating the association of urbanization with surface temperatures. Küçükçekmece Lake, an important lake which has been meeting utility water needs of Istanbul, and unplanned and rapid urbanization around it have been affected by this inevitable change for years. Although surface temperatures generally correlate strongly with each other, very high and very low temperature values should not be disregarded and need to be investigated. The current study was conducted with the assumption that these values could be outlier values and thus they were analyzed using the Box Plot method for the selected region. Correlations between Land Surface Temperature (LST) values obtained for Küçükçekmece and its vicinity was examined using Landsat OLI images of June 20, 2016 and June 23, 2017, and LST outliers and regions with common outliers of/on both days were determined. In the study, 310 LST outliers were identified for June 20, 2016 and 34 LST outliers for June 23, 2017, and in both images, 33 outliers were found to be common and they clustered in two different buildings. The reasons for the outliers outside the standard surface temperature values and recommended solutions were discussed.

Background

Travel to countries with high or intermediate hepatitis A virus (HAV) endemicity is a risk factor for infection in residents of countries with low HAV endemicity. Aim: The objective of this study was to estimate the risk for hepatitis A among European travellers using surveillance and travel denominator data. Methods: We retrieved hepatitis A surveillance data from 13 European Union (EU)/ European Economic Area (EEA) countries with comprehensive surveillance systems and travel denominator data from the Statistical Office of the European Union. A travel-associated case of hepatitis A was defined as any case reported as imported. Results: From 2009 to 2015, the 13 countries reported 18,839 confirmed cases of hepatitis A, of which 5,233 (27.8%) were travel-associated. Of these, 39.8% were among children younger than 15 years. The overall risk associated with travel abroad decreased over the period at an annual rate of 3.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.7–2.7) from 0.70 cases per million nights in 2009 to 0.51 in 2015. The highest risk was observed in travellers to Africa (2.11 cases per million nights). Cases more likely to be reported as travel-associated were male and of younger age (< 25 years). Conclusion: Travel is still a major risk factor for HAV infection in the EU/EEA, although the risk of infection may have slightly decreased in recent years. Children younger than 15 years accounted for a large proportion of cases and should be prioritised for vaccination.

We compared the vector competence of an Italian population of Aedes albopictus for two strains of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), with and without E1:A226V mutation, responsible for outbreaks in 2007 in the Emilia Romagna region and 2017 in the Lazio and Calabria regions, respectively. Ae. albopictus showed similar vector competence for both viral strains indicating that E1:A226V mutation is not exclusively responsible for ability of CHIKV to replicate well in this mosquito species.
Networked Scars: Tattooed Bodies after Breast Cancer
Authors: Klein Reisa
Published: May 2018

This paper investigates the growing trend of mastectomy tattoos as an alternative to reconstruction and their implication on the (de)regulation of women's bodies in the digital context. I explore how tattoos are incorporated into a "breast cancer culture" (King, 2010) as a form of self-care in the recreation of areola pigmentation after breast reconstructive surgery and in cosmetic masking of post-operative mastectomy scars. I am concerned with how online discourses of tattooing practices are drawing women's bodies into an emergent 'biopolitics' (Foucault, 1990; Rose, 2001), a productive type of power concerned with the risk management of a 'biomedicalized subject' where women are encouraged to care for their health through informed decisions via online media (Pitts, 2004) and through consumption and beautification techniques in line with normative femininity (King, 2006). Yet, online media can potentially operate as a site for the creation of new publics wherein women can retell the stories of their bodies through new practices of inscription outside of medicalized and masculinist reconstruction narratives. I perform a discourse analysis of Canadian expert and popular discourses in health websites, plastic surgery and cosmetic service websites, tattoo parlour websites and in social media, including P.ink, (an organization that supports mastectomy tattoos). I argue that within digital media competing medical, pop cultural and feminist narratives intersect in ways that can contribute to an "awkward feminist politics" (Smith-Prei & Stehle, 2016) where women's hybridized medical, digital, tattooed bodies can operate as material obstacles to normative correlations between health, femininity and sexuality.
Among the Metavivors: Social Media and Illness Narratives of Stage IV Breast Cancer Patients
Authors: Jacobson Susan
Published: May 2018

Dominant breast cancer narratives equate early detection and screening with “cure,” advocate for “awareness,” and identify women who undergo treatment for early stage disease as “survivors.” Left out of these narratives are the “metavivors”: women and men diagnosed with “incurable” metastatic breast cancer, also known as Stage IV. This article uses case studies to profile four women living with metastatic breast cancer who turn to social media to tell their stories: Sally, a former civil rights attorney turned breast cancer activist, who uses social media platforms to organize and mobilize Stage IV patients to advocate on their own behalf; Jane, who plows through databases of dense medical research to find treatments to save her own life; Jenny, a young mother dying of metastatic breast cancer who shares her experiences on a YouTube channel; and Grace, who participates in an early-stage clinical trial that she believes “cured” her, a term eschewed by both the medical establishment and fellow metavivors.
To Mourn, To Re-imagine Without Oneself: Death, Dying, and Social Media/tion
Authors: Murray Stuart J , Steinberg Deborah Lynn
Published: May 2018

This paper incorporates and reflects on Steinberg’s particular vantage as a dying person whose blog engages the transforming ecologies of mourning and the place(s) of dying in the emergent spaces of social media. The paper homes in on the distinction between the repudiation of death and the repudiation of mourning in the collective project of “re-imagining without oneself,” that is, of re-imagining another life, another death, beyond the liberal coordinates of a “you” and a “me.” As an “intermediating” place, we argue that the blog serves as a virtual portal that both problematizes and (re)mediates the personal and the political. In so doing, the paper touches on key feminist political questions concerning bodily self-sovereignty; the broader racialized, classed, and gendered cultural imaginary; and the place of mourning in the analogy of the personal body in crisis with the myriad crises of the body politic at this significant and difficult cultural moment. Particularly, with the outcomes of Brexit and the Trump victory in the American election, this is a time of loss as the complex consensus of liberal democracy has broken down and neoliberal body-affective practices morph into isolationist nationalisms and the resurgence of movements against social justice and equality.
“Design Thinking”: Defending Silicon Valley at the Apex of Global Labor Hierarchies
Authors: Irani Lilly
Published: May 2018

This paper examines the emergence of “design thinking” as a form of technical expertise. It demonstrates that “design thinking” articulates a racialized understanding of labor, judgment, and the subject and attempts to maintain whiteness at the apex of global hierarchies of labor.“Design thinking” is a form of expertise that poses design not as form giving, but as a form of empathic reason by which executives can plan products, services, and accumulation. Silicon Valley, business schools, and reformers promote it as a form of caring technical expertise by which some guide futures for others. The paper will examine the history of the concept of “design thinking” – a category forged by Silicon Valley designers in the face of mounting competitive pressures on design professions in the United States in the mid-2000s. By drawing on artifacts, documents, public debates about the design profession from this period, I will demonstrate how champions of “design thinking” responded to expanded availability of design labor globally by figuring Asians and machines as the creative subject's Other.
Pornography’s White Infrastructure
Authors: Keilty Patrick
Published: May 2018

In preparing my talk for a panel on “Whiteness and Technoculture” for the Society for the Social Study of Science in Boston, I wanted to think about the relationship of my research on the technocultures of the online pornography industry to the events in Charlottesville, which occurred only weeks earlier. Two trends within the online pornography industry came immediately to mind. The first is the aesthetic of “white innocence” as sexual fantasy that reveals a cultural conversation between the mainstream gay pornography industry and white nationalism in the United States. The second is the emergence of affiliate networks that aim to curate content for “unique male viewers” because the internet is, curiously, awash in “female-focused” content. Both of these phenomena seem particularly relevant at a time when white fragility, toxic masculinity, “men’s rights,” and xenophobia have been given explicit approval by the newly elected U.S. President, Donald Trump. These forces have long defined the United States, but they also reveal the way in which this presidency is uniquely awful and dangerous.
Digital Apprehensions: Policing, Child Pornography, and the Algorithmic Management of Innocence
Authors: Thakor Mitali
Published: May 2018

In this paper, I discuss the embodied labor of policing child pornography through the ways in which algorithms and human reviewers like Linda see abuse images. I employ the concept of “apprehension” to suggest that the ways that reviewers “see” child pornography is always already oriented toward the capture and arrest of suspected offenders. As I have argued elsewhere (Author 2017; Forthcoming), the use of new digital techniques to find child pornography has fundamentally transformed and expanded policing into a distributed network of labor increasingly done by computer scientists and technology companies. Rather than suggest new software is the cause of these transformations, I draw attention to the constitutive and mutually defining relation between computing and corporeality, or how image detection algorithms need the work of human perception to put their detective skills to work.            I argue further still that the case study of child pornography detection offers an entry point into examining the algorithmic management of race. I suggest that childhood innocence is coded as whiteness, and whiteness as innocence, in the algorithmic detection of victims and abusers. By taking ‘detection’ as a dynamic practice between human and machine, I make an intervention into critical algorithm studies that have tended to focus solely on the programming of racial bias into software. The algorithmic detection of child pornography hinges, crucially, upon practice and the tacit observation of human reviewers, whose instinctual feelings about child protection and offender apprehension become embedded within the reviewing and reporting process as cases escalate for law enforcement.
Privacy, Data Mining, and Digital Profiling in Online Patient Narratives
Authors: Ostherr Kirsten
Published: May 2018

Practices of health datafication and inadequate privacy policies are redefining the meaning of online patient narratives. This article compares patient-driven illness narratives and clinic-driven illness narratives to uncover a set of unrecognized assumptions about trust and privacy in health discourses. Specifically, I show how the open sharing of patient stories in social media, blogs, and other public domains collides with privacy regulations and normative assumptions in the US health care system that prevent integration of those stories into electronic health record (EHR) systems. I argue that publicly told stories based on personal experiences of illness are valuable sources of health care information in part because they are subjective, richly detailed, and open ended. Yet, precisely because of their public nature, these patient stories are unprotected sources of data that are barred from integration into health care data ecologies where clinical action takes place. Consequently, an impermeable barrier exists between the officially sanctioned accounts in the clinical record and the contextual richness of patient stories on the social web. The tensions between these two approaches to narrative and data create an opening for exploitative digital profiling practices that can ─ and already do ─ harm patients. Examples are drawn from Hugo Campos and Medtronic, PatientsLikeMe, Apple Health Records, Google Health, Microsoft Health Vault, IBM Watson Health, and OpenNotes.

In the first section, the paper examines the use of brain imaging technologies to measure the brain’s role during sexual arousal and orgasm and its circulation in popular culture, with a particular focus on fMRI and PET technology. The second section examines the interplay between brain imaging technologies as the means of measurement and film pornography as the means of arousal, bringing together scholarship on pornography studies, visual studies, and science and technology studies. By interrogating the technology behind research into the neurology of sexual response and critically examining the use of one representation of sexuality to produce another, the paper investigates how gendered difference is manifested in this research and how the body is produced as a site of intervention.
From Prevent to "Predict & Prevent (PnP)": Optimizing oil and gas Asset integrity decisions
Authors: Raza Jawad
Published: May 2018

Asset integrity decisions for (production) critical equipment are mostly qualitative and experience-driven. Preventive maintenance strategies are dominat-ing in oil and gas asset management for many years. Record low oil prices com-pelled the industry to undergo major organizational and technical transformations. Companies need to find better and effective ways of improving preventive mainte-nance strategies. One of the main challenges include doing minimum maintenance, keeping maintenance budget low without compromising safety, availability and re-liability requirements. Oil and gas industry is keen in finding innovative solutions to optimize maintenance strategies. As a result, organizations are adapting to intel-ligent life cycle analytical methods for running asset in optimal and smarter manner. Apply Sørco's Predict and Prevent (PnP) methodology uses equipment (As-is) con-dition, combined with maintenance history data analytics to precisely predict up-coming maintenance requirements. The results of PnP analysis provide decision ba-sis for in-time asset decisions for repairs, inspections, spares, overhauling and equipment modifications. The methodology combines integrity-engineering exper-tise with life cycle predictive analytics. Results from business cases reveal useful output that provide basis for smarter asset integrity decisions.
Optimal Scheduling for Exposed Datapath Architectures with Buffered Processing Units by ASP

Conventional processor architectures are restricted in exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) due to the relatively low number of programmer-visible registers. Therefore, more recent processor architectures expose their datapaths so that the compiler (1) can schedule parallel instructions to different processing units and (2) can make effective use of local storage of the processing units. Among these architectures, the Synchronous Control Asynchronous Dataflow (SCAD) architecture is a new exposed datapath architecture whose processing units are equipped with first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers at their input and output ports.

In contrast to register-based machines, the optimal code generation for SCAD is still a matter of research. In particular, SAT and SMT solvers were used to generate optimal resource constrained and optimal time constrained schedules for SCAD, respectively. As Answer Set Programming (ASP) offers better flexibility in handling such scheduling problems, we focus in this paper on using an answer set solver for both resource and time constrained optimal SCAD code generation. As a major benefit of using ASP, we are able to generate \emph{all} optimal schedules for a given program which allows one to study their properties. Furthermore, the experimental results of this paper demonstrate that the answer set solver can compete with SAT solvers and outperforms SMT solvers.
Temporal Answer Set Programming on Finite Traces

In this paper, we introduce an alternative approach to Temporal Answer Set Programming that relies on a variation of Temporal Equilibrium Logic (TEL) for finite traces. This approach allows us to even out the expressiveness of TEL over infinite traces with the computational capacity of (incremental) Answer Set Programming (ASP). Also, we argue that finite traces are more natural when reasoning about action and change. As a result, our approach is readily implementable via multi-shot ASP systems and benefits from an extension of ASP's full-fledged input language with temporal operators. This includes future as well as past operators whose combination offers a rich temporal modeling language. For computation, we identify the class of temporal logic programs and prove that it constitutes a normal form for our approach. Finally, we outline two implementations, a generic one and an extension of clingo.
Exploiting Answer Set Programming with External Sources for Meta-Interpretive Learning

Meta-Interpretive Learning (MIL) learns logic programs from examples by instantiating meta-rules. The recent Metagol system efficiently solves MIL-problems by relying on the procedural bias imposed by Prolog. Its focus on positive examples, however, effects that Metagol can detect the derivability of negative examples only at a later check, which can severely hit performance. Viewing MIL-problems as combinatorial search problems, they can alternatively be solved by employing Answer Set Programming (ASP). Using a sophisticated ASP solver, we may expect that violations of negative examples can be propagated directly, but such an effect has never been explicitly exploited for general MIL. In fact, a straightforward ASP-encoding of MIL results in a huge search space due to a lack of procedural bias and the need for grounding. To address these challenging issues, we encode MIL in the HEX formalism, which is an extension of ASP that allows us to outsource the background knowledge, and we restrict the search space by modeling the procedural bias. This way, the import of constants from the background knowledge can for a given type of meta-rules be limited to the relevant ones. Moreover, by abstracting from term manipulations in the encoding and exploiting the HEX interface mechanism, the import of such constants can be prevented completely in order to avoid the grounding bottleneck. An experimental evaluation shows promising results.
A Trajectory Calculus for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning Using Answer Set Programming

Published: May 2018

Spatial information is often expressed using qualitative terms such as natural language expressions instead of coordinates; reasoning over such terms has several practical applications, such as bus routes planning. Representing and reasoning on trajectories is a specific case of qualitative spatial reasoning that focuses on moving objects and their paths. In this work, we propose two versions of a trajectory calculus based on the allowed properties over trajectories, where trajectories are defined as a sequence of non-overlapping regions of a partitioned map. More specifically, if a given trajectory is allowed to start and finish at the same region, 6 base relations are defined (TC-6). If a given trajectory should have different start and finish regions but cycles are allowed within, 10 base relations are defined (TC-10). Both versions of the calculus are implemented as ASP programs; we propose several different encodings, including a generalised program capable of encoding any qualitative calculus in ASP. All proposed encodings are experimentally evaluated using a real-world dataset. Experiment results show that the best performing implementation can scale up to an input of 250 trajectories for TC-6 and 150 trajectories for TC-10 for the problem of discovering a consistent configuration, a significant improvement compared to previous ASP implementations for similar qualitative spatial and temporal calculi.
Tuning Parallel SAT Solvers
Authors: Ehlers Thorsten , Nowotka Dirk
Published: May 2018

In this paper we present new implementation details and benchmarking results for our parallel portfolio solver \topo. In particular, we discuss ideas and implementation details for the exchange of learned clauses in a massively-parallel SAT solver which is designed to run more that 1,000 solver threads in parallel. Furthermore, we go back to the roots of portfolio SAT solving, and discuss the impact of diversifying the solver by using different restart- , branching- and clause database management heuristics. We show that these techniques can be used to tune the solver towards different problems. However, in a case study on formulas derived from Bounded Model Checking problems we see the best performance when using a rather simple clause exchange strategy. We show details of these tests and discuss possible explanations for this phenomenon.

As computing times on massively-parallel clusters are expensive, we consider it especially interesting to share these kind of experimental results.

Beauvericin (BEA) and Enniatins (ENN) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium fungi detected in food and feed; there are insufficient data to establish their reference values. To evaluate BEA and ENN oral toxicity, an integrated approach was applied. Among ENN, Enniatin B (ENNB) was selected as test substance. The approach is composed by: i) in vitro and acute in vivo genotoxicity tests; ii) a repeated‐dose oral toxicity study focused on genotoxic, immune, endocrine, nervous endpoints and the reproductive/developmental toxicity screening. For BEA, all the genotoxicity endpoints yielded negative results excluding Comet assay in duodenum and kidney after repeated doses. BEA immunotoxicity was observed in female mice, concentrated in number and functional activity of effector T cells in the spleen. Based on the repeated‐dose BEA study, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for female mice is 1 mg/kg b.w. per day (increased thyroid pycnotic nuclei and endometrial hyperplasia). In males, the NOAEL is 0.1 mg/kg b.w. per day (reduced colloid and altered T4 serum levels). Maternal NOAEL is 0.1 mg/kg b.w. per day (increased thymus weight), developmental NOAEL is 10 mg/kg b.w. per day. For ENNB, the results support a genotoxic effect in bone marrow and liver cells after acute treatment, but not after repeated exposure. Immunotoxic ENNB effects were observed in both genders, suggestive of a suppressive/inhibiting activity particularly evident in males. Based on the repeated‐dose ENNB study, the NOAEL for females is 0.18 mg/kg b.w. per day (histomorphometrical effects on thymus, uterus and spleen). In male mice, the NOAEL is 1.8 mg/kg b.w. per day (enterocyte vacuolization in duodenum and increased Reactive Oxygen Species and reduced Glutathione brain levels). The maternal NOAEL is 1.8 mg/kg b.w. per day (decreased white pulp area and increased red/white pulp area ratio in spleen), developmental NOAEL is 18 mg/kg b.w. per day.
