Countee Cullen's Harlem Decadence
Authors: Volpicelli Robert
Published: January 2024

This essay responds to Countee Cullen's reputation within Harlem Renaissance studies as an out-of-date poet who had little concern for the “new” by reassessing his career under the sign of an older, nineteenth-century decadence. In so doing, it stages a larger exploration of the intersection between decadence and the Harlem Renaissance. I begin by sketching a genealogy of African American decadence that extends from W. E. B. Du Bois to second-generation Harlem writers like Richard Bruce Nugent and Wallace Thurman. I highlight Cullen's place within this lineage by examining the poetry from his 1927 Copper Sun in relationship to Charles Cullen's decadent illustrations for that volume. I conclude by showing how Cullen distinguishes himself among other Harlem writers in the way he uses decadence's investments in decay and afterlife to complicate the progressive views of history inherent to both the Harlem Renaissance and the New Negro movement.
O nizozemskoj metodi dubliranja slika na platnu voštano-smolnom smjesom u Hrvatskoj
Authors: Zagora Jelena
Published: January 2024

Osmišljena i prvi put primijenjena sredinom 19. stoljeća u Amsterdamu, nizozemska metoda dubliranja slika na platnu širila se svijetom razmjenom između restauratora sve do kasnog 20. stoljeća. Premda su opseg i putovi širenja metode još uvijek predmet proučavanja, prema istraživanju autorice, u Hrvatsku ju je 1916. godine uveo naš prvi restaurator Ferdo Goglia. U Splitu se sustavno primjenjivala u radionici Regionalnog zavoda za zaštitu spomenika kulture od 1955. godine. Uvid u digitalizirani i uređeni dio arhiva Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda otkriva 834 slike koje su na ovaj način tretirali stručnjaci djelatni u Zagrebu i Splitu od 1916., odnosno 1955,. do 1990-ih godina, uz naznaku znatno veće brojke. Osim velikog dijela povijesti primjene voštano-smolne smjese u Hrvatskoj, u radu se iznose i rezultati prvih kemijskih analiza voštano-smolne smjese s nekoliko slika, a autorica u tekstu iznosi i osobna zapažanja o fizičkom stanju umjetnina tretiranih opisanom metodom.
Crkva sv. Marije na Škrilinah u Bermu
Authors: Pedišić Anđelko , Budicin Munišević Marta
Published: January 2024

Svrha ovoga članka predstavljanje je opsežnih konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova provedenih od 2016. do 2020. godine na oslikanom drvenom tabulatu crkve sv. Marije na Škrilinah u Bermu uz osvrt na ovu umjetninu značajnu za baštinu Republike Hrvatske. Tabulat je podignut u vrijeme barokne obnove crkve 1709. godine, ukupne je površine 56 m² i sastoji se od 63 oslikane kasete, a najveće formalno-stilske analogije pokazuje s tabulatom iz crkve sv. Petra i Pavla u susjednom Trvižu iz 1703. godine te je vjerojatno rad istih majstora. Cjelovitim radovima prethodila su opsežna istraživanja provedena 2015. godine kada je utvrđeno da je drveni nosilac, djelovanjem vlage i insekata, oštećen, a oslikana površina, zbog popuštanja veziva, pulverizira i u sitnim česticama otpada s drva.
Kompleks željezničkog kolodvora u Karlovcu
Authors: Damjanović Dragan , Brajković Sandra
Published: January 2024

Članak govori o izgradnji i stilskom rješenju zgrada kompleksa željezničkog kolodvora u Karlovcu. Prvi (provizorni) kolodvor u Karlovcu sagrađen je oko 1865. i podiglo ga je bečko Društvo južnih željeznica, vjerojatno prema projektu arhitekta Wilhelma Flattticha. Nakon 1880. godine pruga s kolodvorom u vlasništvu je Ugarskih kraljevskih državnih željeznica koje su podigle cijeli niz zgrada karlovačkoga kolodvorskog kompleksa. Središnja prijemna kolodvorska zgrada, najmonumentalnija građevina kompleksa, podignuta je 1900. – 1903. godine prema projektu mađarskog arhitekta Ferenca Pfaffa, u neorenesansnom stilu. Riječ je o jednoj od najmonumentalnijih kolodvorskih zgrada podignutih u tom razdoblju u Hrvatskoj.
Restauratorska intervencija Ferda Goglie na slici Suzana i starci iz Strossmayerove
galerije
Authors: Ferenčak Ivan
Published: January 2024

U sklopu projekta Istraživanje provenijencije umjetnina u zagrebačkim zbirkama (ZagArtColl_ProResearch) provedena je digitalizacija dijela muzejske dokumentacije Strossmayerove galerije. Među dokumentacijom o slici Suzana i starci detektirane su oznake za koje je uočeno da potječu s poleđine slike. Analizom dokumentacije o slici autor potvrđuje da ih je s poleđine uklonio Ferdo Goglia prilikom restauracije 1930. godine i taj je postupak prepoznat kao rani primjer skrbi za oznake s poleđina slika. Temeljem tih oznaka, a u sprezi s pisanim izvorima, rekonstruira provenijenciju slike tijekom 18. i 19. stoljeća i uspostavlja vezu s njemačkom vladarskom kućom Wittelsbach. U članku se, naposljetku, razmatra ikonografija i atribucija, pri čemu se upozorava na obimnu produkciju inačica iste kompozicije u okruženju Majstora izgubljenoga sina te na suvremena promišljanja modela majstora i radionice.
Moderne i suvremene predodžbe srednjovjekovlja – anakronija između bajke i horora
Authors: Bećir Ante
Published: January 2024

The paper reviews modern and contemporary images of the Middle Ages with emphasis on popular culture in the form of selected cases from literature, cinematography and video games in the context of the notion of historical anachronism. Erroneous statements that antedate or misplace events, objects or people basically constitute an “innocent” anachronistic transgression, which can be easily rectified using verifiable data. However, faulty projection of a set of features or characteristics to an age which did not know them represents a far more dangerous fallacy because it opens the question of interpretation – and interpretations vary. To understand past realities it is necessary to uncover how past people understood their own reality and why did they what they did. Projecting contemporary meanings onto the past, in this case the Middle Ages, is a genuinely perilous anachronism which is very difficult or even impossible to rectify. One example of such a historical “mistreatment” is the notion of the “Dark Ages”. Therefore, the paper traces the idea of the “Dark Ages” from the 14th century onward and considers the context in which it became quite widespread from the 18th and 19th centuries to the present day. However, the existence of a counter-myth in the form of the romantic idealization of the Middle Ages as a time of lost pre-modern innocence is also emphasized. The process of industrialization and modernization of (primarily English and Western) European societies in the 18th and 19th centuries and the enthronement of science and progress as leading social principles brought about an (only seemingly) unexpected consequence. Social change provoked nostalgia for an idealized and more simple pre-modern past which gave rise to the Gothic genre that introduced the (at that time socially subversive) element of “horror”. However, at the same time it engendered a romantic and nostalgic depiction of “olden times” which attracted a serious (mostly female) literary public. Even more important is the fact that the elements of the Gothic genre still exist in popular culture to this day through transmission into other popular culture venues, such as literature, cinematic and television content or video games. The extreme dual understanding of the Middle Ages between, metaphorically speaking, fairy tales and horror initially seems confusing, but in reality these images represent two opposite sides of the same coin. Finally, the paper seeks to answer the question of why the Middle Ages are imagined in the ways they are imagined, while notions about the Middle Ages are understood as an integral part of modern (secular) mythical discourse that legitimizes (post)modernity through the construction of extreme medieval otherness. Like it or not, the real or imagined medieval past is a recurrent and in some aspects even dominant feature of the (post)modern popular imagination. It would appear that it will remain so in the future, especially in the dynamic and newly developing post-COVID-19 world order.
Promjene na obalnom dijelu Kaštel Novoga i Kaštel Staroga (u kontekstu velike konjunkture u drugoj polovini 19. stoljeća i razvoja turizma u međuratnome razdoblju)
Authors: Domazet Mladenko
Published: January 2024

The paper follows the development of the coastline in Kaštel Novi and Kaštel Stari in the Austro-Hungarian and interwar period, thus pointing to the economic impulses and tourism activities that had a key impact on its formation. In Kaštel Novi, southwest of the parish church of St. Petar, there was a port dating back to the middle ages. However, due to its shallowness and the impossibility of docking larger ships, its arrangement was abandoned and in the 1970s the construction of a new port next to the Ćipiko tower began. Shortly, this port became very respected by its traffic. Therefore, the arrangement of the west coast was the priority and was completely edited to the border with Kaštel Štafilić, and the original harbor next to the parish church of St. Petar raised the municipal garden. The eastern coast of Kaštel Novi remained undeveloped during the Austro-Hungarian period, and preserved photographs indicate that the sea reached the houses themselves. Its restoration extended to the second half of the 1920s. In the 1970s, began the construction of the port east of Koriolan Castle in Kaštel Stari, but it was not completed until 1903. The second priority of the coastal route (Garajinovica area), which connected these two Kaštela settlements, was completed in 1895. East Coast of Kaštel Stari (Štalija) to the border with Kaštel Lukšić had a completely different development. It is an untouched part of the coast with a natural environment that got a tourist purpose thanks to Dr. Petar Kamber. Kamber first built the family villa Nika on the coast with a small pier. His vision of raising the first hotel in lower Kaštela began with the occupation of the old Kaštela road to the sea, and was completed in 1928 by opening the Hotel Palace as the most representative tourist facility in Kaštela.Local traders provided key incentives for the construction of ports due to the possibility of placing Kaštela products on foreign markets, in addition to which they also built their own wine warehouses, such as the Katalinić and Šimeta families.

U radu se pokušava ocrtati lik srednjovjekovne žene u kriznim situacijama opsade grada na našem prostoru, na temelju književne analize djela anonimnog autora Obsidio Iadrensis koje se smatra jednim od najvrjednijih pripovjednih izvora za poznavanje hrvatske povijesti 14. stoljeća te splitskih kronika Historia Salonitana (13. stoljeće) Tome Arhiđakona i A Cutheis tabula (14. stoljeće). Usporedbom jezičnih i stilskih osobitosti, iznose se tvrdnje o mogućem prepisivanju dijela teksta Tome Arhiđakona u kronici A Chuteis tabula. Također se konzultiraju srednjovjekovni dalmatinski statuti i Judita Marka Marulića. Dobivenim se rezultatima nastoji usmjeriti istraživanje otvorenih pitanja koja prate zanimljivo i zagonetno, ali još uvijek nedovoljno istraženo djelo Obsidio Iadrensis.
Zwischen Nähe und Distanz. Kunstkritiken von Theodor Däubler und Carl Einstein im Gefüge der klassischen Avantgarde
Authors: Rehnolt Juliane
Published: January 2024

Die Publizistik von Theodor Däubler (1876–1934) und Carl Einstein (1885–1940) zeugt von den aktivistischen und reflexiven Zugängen, die beide zu den progressiven Kunstbewegungen ihrer Zeit wählen. Ihre Kunstkritiken lassen sich als ein Wechselspiel zwischen Engagement und Beobachtung der Avantgarde darstellen und beurteilen. Der Beitrag analysiert zunächst Däublers und Einsteins Profil als Kunstkritiker im Gefüge der Avantgarde und zeigt anschließend die Entwicklung ihrer Kunstkritiken sowie ihren Kontext am Fallbeispiel George Grosz.
Zu den Möglichkeiten literaturwissenschaftlicher Theoretisierung der Avantgarde
Authors: Magerski Christine
Published: January 2024

Folgt man dem literarischen Feuilleton, so verkörpert Kim de l’Horizon, der Gewinner des Deutschen und Schweizer Buchpreises 2022, »die Avantgarde in Permanenz«. Die Formulierung verweist nicht nur auf eine inflationäre, von Werbung getriebene Verwendung des Begriffs der Avantgarde, sondern auch auf das Oxymoron einer Bewegung auf der Stelle. Dem Beitrag geht es darum, das Konzept der Avantgarde schärfer zu fassen und die ihm inhärenten Möglichkeiten gegenwärtiger literaturwissenschaftlicher Praxis aufzuzeigen. Zwei Richtungen werden skizziert: zum ersten eine systemtheoretisch geschulte, formalistische Perspektive, zum zweiten ein Verständnis der Avantgarde als Institutionalisierung von Abweichung.
Avantgardistische Netzwerke im Literatur-, Kunst- und Kulturbetrieb Wiens der 1920er Jahre
Authors: Kucher Primus Heinz
Published: January 2024

Fasst man Avantgarde-Gruppierungen nach dem Grad ihrer manifestantistischen Produktion, wird man für das österreichische Spektrum zunächst nur auf wenige im Diskursfeld wahrgenommene Texte stoßen. Wird das Feld avantgardistischer Kunstpraxen jedoch breiter gefasst, etwa die Musik, Malerei oder Architektur einbeziehend, ändert sich der Befund. Der vorliegende Beitrag thematisiert die Rahmenbedingungen sowie die Rolle des seit 1917 an Gewicht gewinnenden Aktivismus. Anschließend widmet er sich den Leistungen des Wiener Kinetismus, den Querverbindungen zur ungarischen Exil-Avantgarde rund um die Zeitschrift »MA« sowie spektakulären Ausstellungen und Theateraufführungen in Wien um 1922–1925.
Patrimônio líquido de Macapá, Amapá: mapeamento das áreas de ressaca
Authors: Spíndola Raysa Oliveira , Drach Patricia R C
Published: January 2024

As cidades, dada sua complexidade, estão em constante processo evolutivo e as alterações acontecem em todos os segmentos.  Ao estudar a forma urbana é possível entender como as diversas partes da cidade se ordenaram e se interconectaram, integrando o conjunto maior. Para o entendimento das dinâmicas presentes na relação das áreas de ressaca na cidade de Macapá, Amapá, nesta pesquisa foi construída uma linha do tempo a partir da definição dos períodos históricos. Foram considerados relevantes para a cidade os períodos evolutivos que correspondem a eventos que impulsionaram alterações importantes no processo administrativo com implicações diretas no tecido urbano da cidade. Foram, assim, definidos como marcos a fundação da Vila de São José de Macapá, passando pela criação do Território Federal do Amapá e, finalmente com a criação do Estado do Amapá.  Os mapas com a evolução urbana da cidade foram produzidos atendendo a estes eventos e, portanto, abrangem o período da fundação em 1758 até o ano de 2020. Para o mapeamento síntese das áreas de ressaca compreendidas no meio urbano de Macapá, foi elaborado um mapa com a indicação de cada área. O processo de urbanização desordenado, aumentado pela migração, resulta em graves problemas sociais enfrentados pelas cidades. Um deles, a falta de moradias, resulta na ocupação das regiões próximas aos núcleos urbanos ainda não ocupados, agregando à cidade novas regiões morfológicas. Esta região apresenta um importante conjunto de áreas de ressaca (áreas úmidas) que estão compreendidas dentro da área urbana da cidade, em que estão sujeitas a profundas transformações ambientais, como o processo de aterramento que vem acontecendo ao longo dos anos.
Social representations as a spatial conditioner: The talk of violence in Carioca funk and the social perception of territories in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Oliveira Gabriella , Rego Andrea Queiroz
Published: January 2024

The work investigates the clashes of the representations of violence linked to “Carioca funk” and analyzes how they condition the identification of territories perceived as conflict zones. It is generally believed that these social representations are influenced by language, culture and narratives created by different players and their interests. In order to understand how this conditioning takes place, a specific event stands out as a case study, the "arrastão" (riot) on October 18, 1992, on Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro. The theoretical-methodological contribution used is based on Chartier's notion of “representation” and Mbembe's concept of “necropolitics”. Based on the work of these authors, we seek to show how power can be built, maintained and reinforced through the social representations that are created and disseminated. To analyze the event, sources in newspaper articles, television news spots, police testimonies, funk lyrics and the relevant scientific literature are used. Through the different representations of the same event, it was possible to highlight the condition they exert on the perceptions and recognition of “fearful” urban territories.

In this study, it is aimed to examine performance of number sense of gifted students in terms of gender, grade levels,number sense self-efficacy and number sense components. In line with the studies in the literature, due to the insufficent research on the number sense on students who diagnosed with special talents in our country, it is felt that in this research we need to study with these student and examine the level of student of this category in the scope of relevant study in terms of various variables. A quantitative descriptive research model was used to determine carefully and completely the level of students’ number sense and their existing situations that is related to it. The study group consists of 6th and 7th-grade students attending Science and Art Centers located in 12 provinces in the Eastern Anatolia Region during the 2022-2023 academic year .286 students attended in this research that included 184 students in the 6th grade and 102 students in the 7th grade. This study included the Number Sense Scale and the Number Sense Self-Efficacy Scale as a data collection tools. It is indicated that in this research students diagnosed with special abilities didn't show high level of number sense performance; instead, they prefer rule-based solutions.It is revealed that , the component “flexibility in calculation” is the most succeded one among the components of number sense.When the students’ grade level increases, it has been observed that , the number sense performance of students improves.When number sense performance was examined based on gender, it was seen that male students used number sense more than female students.When the relationship between the number sense test scores and number sense self-efficacy scores of gifted students was examined, an expressive positive correlation was found between the scores.

Ecological slope protection technology has gained popularity as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for slope restoration and conservation. The integration of ecological considerations into slope protection techniques has resulted in more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. In order to advance the development of ecological self-cycling, this study conducts a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in ecological slope protection technology materials. A systematic literature search was conducted using four databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar) and based on the keywords: ecological slope protection; slope protection; bio-composite material; bio-material; eco-material; eco-friendly building material; mycelium based material; natural fiber composite and biochar. This article provides a detailed discussion of the fundamental types of ecological slope conservation and the properties of materials used in ecological slope protection technology. The usage of environmentally friendly innovative materials has overtaken traditional engineered structures as the primary mode of ecological slope protection innovation. In particular, this study focuses on the structural basis of ecological slope protection, conducting a comparative analysis of the properties of existing bio-composites and evaluating whether they could replace the base structure of ecological slope protection. The findings of this study will contribute to the development of more sustainable and effective ecological slope protection techniques, thereby promoting ecological conservation and restoration.

Building surveyors traditionally relied on descriptive longhand surveys to record an information by hand during on-site building inspections. However, the traditional approach such as checklist that usually practiced were unstructured and unstandardized among organization. In certain cases, it might have a missing document and issue on time-consuming for analysis. Therefore, this mobile application prototype purposely built to track the building defects where it can be used on site during building inspection. This is to record the information according to 11 evaluation criteria namely defect classification, type of building, type of location, type of element, sub-element, causes of defects, defects categories, defect groups, type of defects, building condition level and priority level of repairs. Besides that, the pictures or images can also be kept as supporting evidence. This mobile application prototype included three development phases which are design and utilization, system installation and maintenance and implementation. This mobile application has been projected to be used with mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones. It can also be accessed either through Play Store (for Android User) or the App Store (for Apple’s iOS user). This mobile application also provides a convenient and alternative method in recording the real time findings instead of using manual checklist. Finally, it has the potential to be developed and commercialized with the addition of more user-friendly features.

In the process of developing cities and regions, traditional Chinese architecture has been destroyed to a certain extent and the existing traditional architecture has become particularly precious. There is a contradiction within the modernization development phases and the protection of traditional architecture. To find a sustainable development way for the traditional villages is a problem that needs to be considered. The purpose of this study is to investigate how to preserve and redesign traditional architecture such as Seaweed House to adapt them to contemporary life and to promote tourism and economy of the region. The methods of fieldwork, participant observation and interview were used in the study. The findings indicated that the local residents have no initiative for the protection of traditional buildings. There are also certain deficiencies in the building, including a lack of space for modern equipment and leisure spaces in the Seaweed House. There is a lack of privacy in these dwellings due to the wooden structure and poor sound insulation between the rooms. The owner of the house used new and inappropriate materials when they renovated their house in recent years, resulting in a chaotic style and aesthetic. Some solutions are provided for these issues throughout this research study. It was also found that many traditional buildings have a lot of common problems in the process of protection and development. Once these problems are solved, the protection and development of traditional Chinese architecture will have progress.

The urbanization process of townships resulted in increased population needs and a change in old to modern lifestyles. Infrastructure development in old urban centers around the world is also growing rapidly over time. The process of the uncontrolled development of the morphology of the old city has greatly changed the pattern of the urban fabric, especially the buildings of the shophouses, as well as changing the physical character of the building facades as well as the overall design quality of the urban landscape. The renovation of the shophouse building to a more modern construction creates a building typology that is not responsive to the urban fabric and local context. The difference in typology has influenced the importance of the physical character of an area to the quality of its design. Many researchers and figures in the field of urbanization argue that the changing typology of new buildings due to this uncontrolled phase of urban morphology leaves various adverse impacts on the urban fabric and communities within the city. This paper aims to identify and analyze the physical character of the facades of old shophouses and new shophouses that affect the row of shophouse typologies that change according to the township’s timeline. The study area is located in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman where a block of buildings consisting of several shops was chosen as the study site. Empirical examination from this study determines the physical character criteria of buildings that contribute to design quality as well as documenting the effect of physical character of buildings on design quality in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Therefore, the results of this study and findings can be used as exposure and guidance to architects and urban planners in understanding the importance of the physical character of old shophouses, especially in Malaysia.
Peer Review in the Age of Generative AI
Authors: Kankanhalli Atreyi ,   National University of Singapore
Published: January 2024

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), including recent generative forms, are significantly impacting our lives and work. A key aspect of our work as IS researchers is the publishing of research articles, for which peer review serves as the primary means of quality control. While there have been debates about whether and to what extent AI can replace researchers in various domains, including IS, we lack an in-depth understanding of how AI can impact the peer review process. Considering the high volume of submissions and limited reviewer resources, there is a pressing need to use AI to augment the review process. At the same time, advances in AI have been accompanied by concerns about biases introduced by AI tools and the ethics of using them, among other issues such as hallucinations. Thus, critical issues to understand are: how can AI augment and potentially automate the review process, what are the pitfalls in doing so, and what er the implications for IS research and peer review practice. I will offer my views on these issues in this opinion piece.
New Frontiers in Information Systems Theorizing: Human-gAI Collaboration
Authors: Jarvenpaa Sirkka ,   University of Texas at Austin, Klein Stefan ,   University of Muenster
Published: January 2024

The Journal of the Association for Information Systems has long had a reputation for promoting theory development. Yet theory development can be experienced as risky and frustrating because of a lack of divergence and convergence—both in terms of ideas and in the social dynamics among human theorists. These dichotomies can stymie progress and lead to unfinished works. Misconceptions about theory can also hamper advances. We examine the ways in which generative artificial intelligence (gAI) tools may be useful in developing theory in information systems (IS) through human-gAI collaboration, thus forging new frontiers in IS theorizing.

In this paper, we revisit the issue of collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct literature reviews and discuss if this should be done and how it could be done. We also call for further reflection on the epistemic values at risk when using certain types of AI tools based on machine learning or generative AI at different stages of the review process, which often require the scope to be redefined and fundamentally follow an iterative process. Although AI tools accelerate search and screening tasks, particularly when there are vast amounts of literature involved, they may compromise quality, especially when it comes to transparency and explainability. Expert systems are less likely to have a negative impact on these tasks. In a broader context, any AI method should preserve researchers’ ability to critically select, analyze, and interpret the literature.
HUMANITARIAN POLICY OF UKRAINE AS A RESTRAINT FACTOROF HYBRID AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIA
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Prysiazhniuk Svitlana
Published: January 2024

The article attempts a political science analysis of the features of humanitarian policy as a direction of state policy, the specifics of the implementation of international humanitarian policy, as well as the correlation of national sustainability and humanitarian policy of the state. It was found that humanitarian policy is based on the recognition of inalienable human rights, including the right to a decent life for everyone, regardless of national, racial, religious, age, gender, individual or social characteristics. The humanitarian sphere unites the following policies: cultural, religious, science policy, educational policy, health care and policy in the field of tourism, sports and physical culture. One of the most effective tools for coordinating the above policies may be the state’s strategic communications system. It has proven that state humanitarian policy personifies a social phenomenon and is always associated with the specifics of civil society. The main goal of Ukraine’s modern humanitarian policy is to maximize the potential of every person and create decent conditions for the realization of all his intellectual and creative potential. Ukraine’s humanitarian policy plays an important role in strengthening the national identity and resistance of society and is a deterrent in the context of hybrid aggression from the Russian Federation.
UKRAINIAN SOCIETY: COMMUNICATIVE MECHANISMS OF CONSOLIDATION
Authors:   Research Institute of Ukrainian Studies Ukraine, Krysachenko Valentyn
Published: January 2024

The study is devoted to the analysis of communicative mechanisms for establishing constructive relations between the authorities and civil society. The fundamental basis of such interaction is the constant practice of communicative discourse between both parties. Clarification of initial and situational positions and problems is a prerequisite for their discussion and search for optimal solutions. A similar state of affairs is achieved by publicizing a frank position by each of the participants in political life. At the same time, the discourse appears as a logical-semantic speech given of the text (message), directed from the subject to the object of perception, with its own self-sufficient logistics and meanings that reflect the course of reasoning and evidence of the creator of the message. The main function of political discourse is informative, the main goal is hermeneutic, i.e. comprehensibility, receptivity, the purpose of discourse is the objectification of one’s own ideas in the form of consumer beliefs and values. The creative consolidation possibilities of means of communicative discourse are revealed: compromise, agreement, solidarity, consensus, empathy, etc. Attention is drawn to the possibility of using the structures and capabilities of civil society in order to institutionalize democratic decisions and actions of the authorities.
POLITICAL FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY AS BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics (Kyiv) Ukraine, Chernysh Yaroslav
Published: January 2024

The article reveals the philosophical and political science content of the concepts of “freedom” and “responsibility”. These concepts are analysed as basic principles of local self-government in Ukraine. The article defines local self-government as a form of public authority exercised by specific subjects — territorial collectives and special bodies formed, the object of influence of which is issues of local importance, which are resolved through the use of communal (municipal) property. In local self-government, political freedom and responsibility contribute to increased accountability and local autonomy, as they provide a more direct and “flexible” form of governance at the grassroots level, and the creation of a system of social and cultural services for the population at the place of residence (educational, medical institutions, catering and consumer services, cinemas, clubs, etc.) Political freedom and responsibility are defined as the basis for the functioning of local self-government in Ukraine. The understanding of political freedom, which is considered as the ability of citizens to express and realise their political interests, is supplemented. It is noted that the fundamental political interest of any society is the development of democracy as a genuine democracy and self-government of the people. Since the essence and attributive feature of democracy is the guarantee of political freedom of citizens, it is proved that local self-government as an institution of articulation, aggregation and realisation of political interests of citizens should become a form of realisation of political freedom of citizens and an important subject of political responsibility.
İtiraf Toplumunda Mahremiyetin Kamusallaşması ya da Akışkan Modern Dünyada Mahremiyetin Anlam Yitimi
Authors: Çimen Ülhak
Published: January 2024

20. ve 21. yüzyılın en önemli sosyologlarından biri olan Zygmunt Bauman akışkan modern çağa özgü çeşitli toplum biçimlerinden bahsetmektedir. Düşünür, kitle iletişim araçlarının gerçekliği değiştirmediğini tam tersini temsil ettiğini iddia etmektedir. Ona göre mahremiyet, gizlilik, sır gibi özel alana ilişkin durumlar akışkan modern dünyada önemsizleştirilmiş ve bu durumların itiraf edilmesi özgürlük şekliyle gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Bauman’ın akışkan modern çağa özgü kavramsallaştırdığı toplum biçimlerinden biri olan itiraf toplumunun kitle iletişim araçlarının en önemlilerinden biri olan televizyonda ne şekilde gösterildiği ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Yapılan araştırmada önce literatür taramasıyla Bauman’ın itiraf toplumuna özgü düşünceleri birincil kaynaklara müracaat edilerek ortaya çıkartılmış, daha sonra ise içerik analizi tekniğiyle Bauman’ın itiraf toplumuna özgü söylemleri somut ve anlaşılır hale getirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Türkiye’de yayınlanan gündüz kuşağı programları incelenmiş ve örnek olay olarak “Esra Erol’da” programı seçilmiştir. Bu programın seçilme nedeni, ilgili programın itiraf toplumu söyleminin ahlaki değerler ve toplumsal kıymet boyutlarını aşan içerikler sunmasıdır. 11 günlük yayın içeriği itiraf toplumu çerçevesinde analiz edilen programda, insanların normal yaşantılarında yakın çevrelerine bile anlatmaktan çekinebileceği konuların kamusal hale getirildiği ve söz konusu kamusallığa neden olan bu dilin normalleştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Unsupervised machine learning methods are gaining attention in the seismological community as more and larger datasets of continuous waveforms are collected. Recently, contrastive learning for unsupervised feature learning has shown great success in the field of computer vision and other domains, and we aim to transfer these methods to the domain of seismology. Contrastive learning algorithms use data augmentation to implement an instance-level discrimination task: The feature representations of two augmented versions of the same data example are trained to be similar, when at the same time dissimilar to other data examples. In particular, we use the popular contrastive learning method SimCLR. We test data augmentation strategies varying amplitude and frequency of seismological signals, and apply contrastive learning methods to automatically learn features. We use a dataset containing various mostly cryogenic waveforms detected by an STA/LTA short-term average/long-term average algorithm on continuous waveform recordings from the geophysical observatory at Neumayer station, Antarctica. The quality of the features is evaluated on a hand-labeled dataset that includes icequakes, earthquakes, and spikes, and on a larger unlabeled dataset using a classical clustering method, k-means. Results show that the approach separates the different hand-labeled groups with an accuracy of up to 88% and separates meaningful groups within the unlabeled data. Thus, we provide an effective tool for the unsupervised exploration of large seismological datasets and the automated compilation of event catalogs.
Impact of Lossy Compression Errors on Passive Seismic Data Analyses
Authors: Issah Abdul Hafiz S. , Martin Eileen R.
Published: January 2024

New technologies such as low-cost nodes and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) are making it easier to continuously collect broadband, high-density seismic monitoring data. To reduce the time to move data from the field to computing centers, reduce archival requirements, and speed up interactive data analysis and visualization, we are motivated to investigate the use of lossy compression on passive seismic array data. In particular, there is a need to not only just quantify the errors in the raw data but also the characteristics of the spectra of these errors and the extent to which these errors propagate into results such as detectability and arrival-time picks of microseismic events. We compare three types of lossy compression: sparse thresholded wavelet compression, zfp compression, and low-rank singular value decomposition compression. We apply these techniques to compare compression schemes on two publicly available datasets: an urban dark fiber DAS experiment and a surface DAS array above a geothermal field. We find that depending on the level of compression needed and the importance of preserving large versus small seismic events, different compression schemes are preferable.

Published: January 2024

The study explores the implementation of the PETaL approach as a strategy to cultivate Intercultural Education (IE) in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia through the lens of kindergarten teachers. The study implemented Mixed Methods Approach (Creswell & Clark, 2017) to provide reliable data about how the PETaL approach is perceived by teachers, and how it is actually being executed in the ECE context in Indonesia. The implementation included four hours of interventions to train participating teachers about Intercultural Education and a thorough introduction to the PETaL approach. This study used interviews and semi-structured observations as the instruments of the research. The data analyzed reported positive feedback from kindergarten teachers regarding the implementation of the PETaL approach in the Indonesian context. In accordance to how this approach has been applied, the study reported medium to high success rate in the application of the PETaL approach as the mean value showed 1,21 out of 2 in average with moderate to high variations. Conclusions indicate that the PETaL approach had been applied well by participating teachers of ECE in Indonesia, adhering coherently to its principles. Nevertheless, further training and continuous guidance are needed to improve the pertinence level of implementation in the Indonesian context.
