Defying the Avant-Garde Logic: Architecture, Populism, and Mass Culture
Authors: van den Heuvel Dirk , Kaminer Tahl
Published: November 2023

As an introduction to this issue of Footprint, which is dedicated to questions pertaining to the role, perception and valuation of mass culture and populism within the twentieth century, avant-garde discourse, this text presents a tentative framework that contextualizes and elaborates the questions at hand. It argues that the specific negotiation in the late twentieth century between the architecture discipline and the phenomenon of the consumer society, and especially mass media technologies, introduced a new, hybrid, and at times contradictory disciplinary discourse and practice, which defies the historic avant-garde logic as described by Peter Bürger. The editors argue that the re-investigations of the late twentieth century avant-garde vis-à-vis mass culture lead to a better understanding of the challenges contemporary architecture faces.
She Said, He Said: Denise Scott Brown and Kenneth Frampton on Popular Taste
Authors: Fausch Deborah
Published: November 2023

During the post-war period, the nature of ‘the people’ and popular culture was a matter of intense interest to the disciplines of architecture and urban design. These issues stand behind a debate between Denise Scott Brown and Kenneth Frampton in the December 1971 issue of Casabella. The disagreement between Frampton and Scott Brown concerns three issues: the nature of ‘the people’, the character of popular culture, and the role of architects in relation to popular culture. Underlying this last issue is the question of popular taste: whether a debased devolution from that of the educated and cultured classes, or an embodiment of its own intrinsic principles.  

Scott Brown defines the people in terms of a set of ‘subcultures’, diverse groups of persons with relatively uniform sets of behaviours, values, attitudes, and preferences, coexisting together in society. She terms the emerging post-war urban environments ‘the popular landscape’ and claims that the symbolic additions made to homes constitute a source of information about popular values, attitudes, and preferences. Frampton refers to the people in terms such as ‘the constrained masses’, popular culture as ‘engineered fantasies of mass taste’, and the urban landscape as ‘the alienated environment’ of ‘deculturated forms’, a ‘repressed consensus’ of ‘mid-cult kitsch’. The two also disagree about the role of the architect; Frampton is concerned about the loss of a connection of form to content and the reinforcement of alienation and conformity involved in the contemporary approaches to urban design; Scott Brown recommends helping ‘the people’ to ‘live in houses and cities the way they want to live’.
‘Obama, Please Tax Me!’: Architecture and the Politics of Redistribution
Authors: Avermaete Tom , van den Heuvel Dirk
Published: November 2023

This issue of Footprint is based on the conference session ‘The European Welfare State Project – Ideals, Politics, Cities and Buildings’ as organized by the editors at the first EAHN Conference in Guimarães, Portugal in 2010, and as elaborated in the second EAHN Conference in Brussels, Belgium in 2012 (together with Mark Swenarton). These sessions were proposed as part of the research programme ‘Changing Ideals – Shifting Realities’ at the TU Delft, which aims to further disclose, map and question the architectural culture of the second half of the twentieth century.

It focuses on how the welfare state in Western Europe represents a unique time frame in which manifold shifts within the modernist discourse in architecture and planning were paired with societal changes that established new assemblages between producers, designers, governments, clients, builders and users. It is part of the editors’ assumption that the current crisis of capitalism puts the politics of redistribution back on the agenda. In re-investigating the vast legacy of the welfare state, it seems only natural to look for new models for collectivity, not to dwell in nostalgia, but indeed to find alternatives to suit the new situation. At the intersections of building practice, architectural viewpoints, national and local cultural contexts, a nuanced image of welfare state architecture emerges.
Appropriating Modernism: From the Reception of Team 10 in Portuguese Architectural Culture to the SAAL Programme (1959-74)
Authors: Baía Pedro
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to map the relations between the Portuguese appropriation of Team 10’s architectural ideas and the housing policies launched by the state, especially through the SAAL programme, which stood for Ambulatory Support to Local Residents Programme and ran for a brief period between 1974 and 1976.

Through an intellectual speculation based on an analysis of the historical discourse, this paper seeks to demonstrate how the critical and interpretative reception of Team 10’s ideas by the Portuguese architectural culture played an important role in the process leading up to the SAAL programme.

The aim of this approach is to open up a hypothesis for reflection on this reception in its various senses, even if it is mixed with other narratives, in an attempt to understand the way in which Team 10 was critically interpreted, disseminated and assimilated. One could say that the relation between the Portuguese context and Team 10 is an oblique one. However, it is possible to identify some resonances that confirm the importance and pertinence of Team 10’s presence.
You are Hungry: Flâneuring, Edible Mapping and Feeding Imaginations
Authors: Tomkins Mikey
Published: November 2023

The idea of growing food in cities, often termed urban agriculture (UA), is rapidly becoming a popular concept linked to ideas of sustainable cities. However, for most residents it is a difficult concept to visualize due to the complexity of the built environment. This research uses 32 participatory walks with 150 local residents around a 25-hectare site within east London to explore reactions to the idea of potential UA landscapes. 

The starting point for walks was the ‘edible map’. The edible map is a hand-drawn A2 map of the site that filled the many vacant and grassed areas, common to cities, with food growing suggestions. The map was presented to walkers as a provocation to stimulate discussion. The 32 participatory walks produce an initial engagement with the concept of UA and the need for local food systems but also produced a strong critique of urban spatial design and the desire to place-make.

Exploring how these desires interact needs to be further understood because potentially the latter could dominate the former. Therefore, institutions that advocate UA need to be mindful of the interactions between spatial engagements and food-growing practices that may compromise the vital need for local food production at the core of the UA concept.
John Hejduk’s Pursuit of an Architectural Ethos
Authors: Søberg Martin
Published: November 2023

Reflected, artistic practices and design-based research are drastically expanding fields within architectural academia. However, the interest in uniting theory and practice is not entirely new. Just a few decades ago, before a ‘death of theory’ was proclaimed, questions of architectural epistemology, of the language(s) of architecture, were indeed of profound interest to the discipline.

This essay returns to and examines the investigatory practices of John Hejduk in an attempt to identify a poetic method asserting difference through repetition and primarily grounded in the medium of architectural drawing; a method which, when approached on a more general and conceptual level, might even have the potential to inform design-based architectural research today. The author argues that the conceptual framework of such a method is not a theoretical pursuit of logos, but more a matter of character – an embracing pursuit of an architectural ethos.
Architecture’s Awaking from Correlationist Slumber: On Transdisciplinarity and Disciplinary Specificity
Authors: Radman Andrej
Published: November 2023

Perception cannot be considered independently of the environment since it is defined as an evolved adaptive and constructive relation between the life-form and its milieu. Unfortunately, experimental psychology research has relied overwhelmingly on object perception, rather than environment perception, with the findings of the former providing the basis for understanding the latter.

Architectural research continues to suffer from this fallacy. Furthermore, to separate the ‘cultural’ from the ‘natural’ environment – as if there were a world of mental and a world of material products – is a fatal mistake. There is only one world. The paper explores J.J. Gibson’s unwitting affiliation with Deleuze. The most notable point of convergence between the two thinkers is their more or less overt theory of ‘passive synthesis’ of perception with which they vehemently oppose, or better yet complement, the active synthesis of representation.
The Tradition of Spatial Writing: The Case of the Palindrome in between Literature and Architecture
Authors: Varsamis Sotirios
Published: November 2023

In this work I define as spatial writing a kind of writing that could be expressed spatially in text and textually in architecture and that includes examples from both text and buildings. In that sense spatial writing is related not only to literary theory but also to architecture, architectural writing or ‘architecture writing’. 

In the first part of my paper I outline very briefly the tradition of spatial writing in literary theory, but the main focus is on how text is treated spatially and architecturally within such a theory. 

In the second part I focus on the palindrome as a specific kind of spatial writing and examine how its geometric poetic form stands in between the disciplines of literature and architecture. From the two examples I study the first is taken from literature and is a palindromic poetic composition from a 1745 pamphlet entitled Coelum Orbis Teutonici, and the second from architecture and looks at palindrome’s use as inscriptions at fountains and thresholds.
Future Publics: Politics and Space in East Asia’s Cities: Introduction
Authors: Bracken Gregory , Solomon Jonathan D.
Published: November 2023

This special issue of Footprint began life in Shanghai, with the third Annual Delft School of Design (DSD) and International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) workshop, which was organized in conjunction with the Architecture Department of Hong Kong University (HKU) and took place in their Shanghai Study Centre in April 2011. The seven papers presented here look at issues of public space in East-Asian cities, beginning with an overview since 1945 and thereafter concentrating on cities in China, such as Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Nanjing, as well as a realm that is not often considered public space: urban rivers. The issue also considers the city of Bangkok, where urban design is examined as a counter public sphere.
(Recovering) China’s Urban Rivers as Public Space
Authors: Shannon Kelly , Yiyong Chen
Published: November 2023

This article focuses on the revered role rivers in China once held – in cartography, history, mythology, festivals, cities, and everyday life. It reviews and summarizes ‘hydraulic civilization’, taking cognizance of feng shui as it does so. Four historical cases testify to the fact that China’s great cities were founded on riverbanks and developed in tandem with floodplain dynamics.

Over time, a tension developed between the civilizing force of the city and water’s natural energy. Industrialization saw a growing disconnection between waterways and settlements, with canalization fundamentally altering the nature of rivers, turning them into physical, cultural, and economic dividers, and upsetting natural habitats.

Recently, there has been a rediscovery of Chinese riverscapes. Initiated by the government, three case studies highlighting the recovery of the urban, scenic, cultural, and functional nature of rivers inside Ningbo, Kunming, and Qian’an by design firm Turenscape are examined in the final part of this paper.
The Shanghai Alleyway House: A Threatened Typology
Authors: Bracken Gregory
Published: November 2023

The Shanghai alleyway house was a rich and vibrant generator of street life. Unique to Shanghai, it occupied the ambiguous space between the traditional Chinese courtyard home and the street. The system of ‘graduated privacy’ within its alleyways ensured a safe and neighbourly place to live. Due to rapid redevelopment in recent decades this once ubiquitous typology is under threat. This paper takes a look at the history of the typology as well as at three recent redevelopments of it in the city: Xintiandi, Jian Ye Li, and Tianzifang, to question what future there can be for a typology that seems to have outlived its usefulness.
The Temperament of a City: A Postscript to Post-Olympic Beijing
Authors: Ruan Xing
Published: November 2023

There are two kinds of amazement in art and architecture: one relies on the ingenuity of artifice to arouse a feeling of enchantment, while the other causes an awe-inspiring ecstasy through the shock of the new. Beijing may have won the race in the latter, with spectacles such as the Olympic Games, but does this prove that a new Beijing has been reinvented?

This paper examines the two kinds of amazement to examine two pairs of showcase Olympic buildings: 1) Beijing International Airport’s Terminal 3 and the Olympic Tennis Centre and 2) the Olympic Stadium and the CCTV Tower – to ask what they say about Beijing, and its temperament. It also questions whether or not it is possible to reinvent a new city once its temperament has been formed, and in what way this temperament may be related to the creation of public space, or place.
Infrastructural Critique. The Upside-Down of the Bottom-Up: A Case Study on the IBA Berlin 84/87
Authors: Hierzer Eva Maria , Schörkhuber Philipp Markus
Published: November 2023

Participation in planning is a logical consequence of the democratisation of society due to the social and cultural changes related to modernism. Anarchistic participation, as in Autogestion, within a development process, is a critical utopian alternative draft to existing power structures. The participatory turn represented by the International Building Exhibition Berlin 1987 (IBA) meant the institutionalisation of these utopian ideas, resulting in a heterotopian notion of participation instrumentalised by governing and economic forces.

The most important aspect to our argument is that participation is a matter of critique – with critique as the very core of the modern understanding of progress – and thus enabling forms of improvement in planning, regulating and governing with architectural and urbanistic means. Those means simply embody a specific form of resisting critique and certain shifts in the structures of governing revealing an infrastructural critique which both re-forms the elements and the relations of what is to be resisted.
The Birthing of Things: Bergson as a Reader of Lucretius
Authors: Healy Patrick
Published: November 2023

I examine, in this short paper, the work of Henri Bergson on Lucretius first published in 1884, and argue for its vital significance in understanding the development of his philosophical thinking. This publication was to serve as an introduction to extracts from Lucretius, for his students at Clermont-Ferrand, with a commentary and notes on the poetry, philosophy, the physics, language and text of his poem De Rerum Natura. In the published volume most of the overview of Lucretius by Bergson is given in the long preface, and this is followed by extracts in Latin, without translation into French, with comments on lines and individual words, which covers all the books of the original poem. By 1899 it had gone to a third edition, and was still in print until the 1960's. Copies today are very difficult to obtain, and only recently has a full electronic version become available on the Internet Archive, to which readers are here directly referred.
Moiré Effect: Index and the Digital Image
Authors: Baraklianou Stella
Published: November 2023

The moiré effect and phenomena are natural occurring geometric formations that appear during the super-position of grid structures. Most widely recognisable in colour printing practices, generally viewed on screens (computer and TV) they are in most cases examples of interference within a signal or a code, unwanted visual mis-alignment. Especially in digital image capture, moiré patternings appear when a geometrically even pattern, like a fabric or close-up of fine texture, has an appearance of rippled water with blue or red hues of concentric circle formations. The intriguing pattern formation in this case points back not only to the mis-alignment of frequencies, but can be further seen as the intersection point of a speculative ontology for the index of the digital image. Moiré not only as a visually reproducible phenomenon or effect, but a field of vision that blurs the boundaries between analogue and digital, perception and affect, manifesting the photographic as a constant site of becoming, a site of immanence. The philosophy of Henri Bergson, Brian Massumi and Francois Laruelle will be explored alongside the moiré image and phenomenon, to see if there is such a speculative site underlining the becoming of the digital image and its repercussions in contemporary digital culture.
The Work of Art as Monument: Deleuze and the (After-) Life of Art
Authors: Schreel Louis
Published: November 2023

In the last chapter of What is Philosophy? Deleuze and Guattari conceptualise the work of art as a paradoxical monument which does not commemorate a past, but rather, preserves itself in the absence of man. The key to understanding this paradox lies in the further determination of the monument as a ‘being of sensations’: a ‘compound’ of ‘percepts’ and ‘affects’, meaning, a composition of invisible forces that populate the world, affect us, and make us become. Art would provoke an encounter with inhuman conditions of life which in daily, pragmatic life are often not given a chance. Yet, why still speak in terms of visibility and invisibility if there is not even an eye to perceive? How to understand a conception of art which refuses to think it in terms of human needs, for example exactly of commemorating the past? Deleuze was well aware of these questions, as the chapter on percept, affect and concept repeatedly re-affirms its radical appeal. In this paper I aim to elucidate this novel understanding of art as unwordly monument. I will do so firstly by looking into its implicit dialogue with the phenomenologists Erwin Straus and Henri Maldiney. Secondly, Theodor W. Adorno's essay 'Valéry Proust Museum' will serve as a ground for formulating what might be called the Deleuzian 'after-life' of art.
Affect Theory as Pedagogy of the ‘Non-’
Authors: Seigworth Gregory J
Published: November 2023

What is the relationship of affect to the non- of non-philosophy? And how might asking this question also go some distance toward answering (or raising) questions about the continuing relevance of disciplinarity itself? By first taking up minor remarks made by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in What is Philosophy? – especially around the work of Francois Laurelle – this essay will explore how some of the implications of affect’s relation to the ‘non-‘ intersect with matters of immanence, pedagogy, and, finally, with the resoluteness of disciplinary boundaries.
Introduction: Commoning as Differentiated Publicness
Authors: Sohn Heidi , Kousoulas Stavros , Bruyns Gerhard
Published: November 2023

Contemporary commoning practices do not constitute a mere alternative, but instead comprise a qualitative threshold: a moment of critical differentiation. As such, they call out for the development of a set of renewed methodological, analytical and synthetic tools and devices that are better equipped to understand the in-between as a ‘thirding’: as a form of differentiated publicness. The editorial introduction offers a platform of negotiation, which far from disregarding the already established approaches to the thematic in question, aims at expanding their scope, complementing them with non-dialectical readings. By presenting non-hierarchical understandings of urban practices, as well as fostering the intersection of different trajectories and discourses, the introduction to this issue strives to provide a fertile ground for the encounter of the multidimensional and relational potentials of contemporary commoning practices.
A Monstrous Alliance: Open Architecture and Common Space
Authors: Kodalak Gökhan
Published: November 2023

The contemporary built environment is absorbed by a dualist spatial organisation model divided between public and private space. Within this restrictive grammar, public space, despite its democratic promise, is heavily indoctrinated and anesthetised under the hegemony of regulatory apparatuses and control mechanisms, whereas private space has catalysed, if not directly engendered, prevalent spatial problems, such as ever-increasing slums, discriminatory gentrification and ecological catastrophes, despite its self-approving assurance. Underneath this dysfunctional couple lies common space, a third category that constitutes the shared spatial commonwealth of our entire natural and cultural milieu.

The multitude, as an emerging body of self-organising political and spatial actors, has already started to unearth the potential of common space, actualising emergent and interactive spatial configurations all around the world. In this new, self-organisational model, architects do not become obsolete; rather, they leave behind their conventional roles as submissive experts and cosmetic speculators. By becoming anomalous architects, they affirm and augment the opening of spatial and architectural milieus to a myriad of new possibilities.

This article theorises the possibility of a monstrous alliance between anomalous architects and the multitude, between open architectures and common space. Two specific case studies accompany these theoretical frameworks: the Gezi Event (Istanbul, 2013) demonstrates the actual emancipation of common space through the self-organising activity of the multitude, while Open-Cube (Antalya, 2013) attests to an early open architecture experiment based on the potentiating activity of the anomalous architect.
MHD Seawater Propulsion
Authors: Doss E. D. , Geyer H. K.
Published: November 2023

This paper discusses the reasons for the renewed interest in the concept of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) seawater propulsion. The main advantages of this concept are presented, together with some of the technical challenges that need to be overcome to achieve reliability and performance. The paper discusses in simple terms some of the technical issues and loss mechanisms influencing the thruster performance in terms of its electrical efficiency. These issues include the jet losses and nozzle efficiency, Ohmic losses, frictional losses, three-dimensional effects and electrolysis inside the thruster. Furthermore, a parametric study has been performed using a developed two-dimensional model to investigate the effects of electrical end losses, the magnetic field, thruster diameter, wall roughness, flow velocity, and electrical load factor on the thruster performance. These studies show that the frictional and end losses can have strong adverse effects on the thruster performance and that the thruster efficiency increases with the strength of the magnetic field and thruster diameter and decreases with the wall roughness and the flow velocity.
The Controversy Between the Spoken and Written in Arabic - A Study of Phonetic Values and the Multiplicity of References -
Authors: Alqaralleh Zayd , Alazmi Fatma
Published: November 2023

The controversy between what lies amidst the spoken and written, and the gap of nonconformity constitutes a problematic dilemma in the Arabic language, a serious dilemma. This study seeks to identify this problem, trying to point out its features, causes and explanations by considering of the reasons derived from phonetic values, or from the origins that influenced the emergence of Arabic calligraphy becoming one of the fixed residues that define the Arabic systems of writing. The study reviews examples of this controversy being described s a problematic, so the study utilizes the instrument of induction, as well as the descriptive analytical method by observing and analyzing samples of the problem. The study does not aim to tally nor to monitor its details. As such, the study is limited to the features of deletion and addition. The study ended with a number of results regarding observing and dealing this controversy.
Emotional Intelligence and its Relationship to Psychological Burnout among Yarmouk University Employees
Authors: Al-jobour Feras , Al-Momani Bayan
Published: November 2023

The study aimed to reveal the level of both the emotional intelligence and the psychological burnout and the relation between  them  among Yarmouk University employees. The  study relied on the correlational descriptive approach. The sample of the  study consisted of (340) employees (172 males and 168 females) who were selected by the convenience sampling  method in the summer semester of the academic year (2020/2021). In order to achieve the objectives of the study, emotional intelligence scale (Schutte et al., 1998), and the psychological burnout scale (Maslach et al., 1996) were used. The results of the study showed that the level of emotional intelligence among Yarmouk University employees  came to high level, while the level of psychological burnout came to low level, and there was a negative statistically significant correlation between them. The results also showed that  there were no statistically significant differences in the level of emotional intelligence due to the variable of gender, but there were statistically significant differences due to the experience, in favor of more than 10 years, as well as  to the educational level, in favor of graduate studies. The results of the study as well showed that   there were statistically significant differences in the level of psychological burnout due to the variable of gender in favor of males, to the experience  in favor of 10 years or  less, and due to the educational level in favor of a bachelor's degree or less. The study recommended conducting more studies on the issue of psychological burnout  with other variables.
Hermenéutica analógica, filosofía y dignidad humana
Authors: Beuchot Mauricio
Published: November 2023

"En este volumen me propongo examinar las relaciones de la hermenéutica con el estudio de la realidad. Por supuesto que ello nos conducirá a un realismo, un realismo analógico, pero, sobre todo, al conocimiento de esa realidad que tanto nos atañe como es el ser humano. Es el empeño de construir una hermenéutica analógica. Para tener una idea de ese instrumento conceptual, comienzo con una exposición del concepto de analogía en la historia, para llegar a la actualidad que puede tener una hermenéutica analógica. Ahora, después del univocismo de la modernidad, impera el equivocismo de la posmodernidad, y por eso se necesita un analogismo que nos haga salir de ese impasse. Tal será la función de la hermenéutica analógica. En esa línea y registro de la antropología filosófica, pero apoyada por la hermenéutica, introduzco el tema de las humanidades, haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de revisar su enseñanza en las universidades. Son sumamente necesarias, pero hay que hacer un replanteamiento de su enseñanza. Siempre se las ha querido hacer que imiten a las ciencias naturales, siendo que ellas, como se vio, tienen su estatuto epistemológico propio, que es hermenéutico. Por eso, se habla de la hermenéutica como un instrumento útil y valioso para la docencia en humanidades."
Evaluasi Bantuan Pemerintah Kelompok Usaha Bersama (Kube) Terhadap Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Masyarakat dalam Perspekif Ekonomi Islam
Authors: Rosyidi Laily Hidayati , Yazid Azy Athoillah
Published: November 2023

One issue that any nation frequently encounters during the growth process is poverty. Basically, the more poverty a country experiences, the more likely it is that its own growth will be hampered. As a result, the government frequently runs initiatives to address the issue of poverty. The Joint Business Group (KUBE) is one of the government initiatives designed to end poverty. KUBE is an organization made up of a number of individuals who are considered to be poor. Its mission is to carry out Productive Economic Enterprises (UEP), which will be accompanied by individuals who have been selected or assigned, in order to increase revenue and improve the social welfare of the community. This study was carried out in the Banyuwangi Regency hamlet of Purwoagung Tegaldlimo. Researchers employ six indications in the evaluation process: effectiveness, efficiency, sufficiency, feeling, responsiveness, and correctness. A case study using a qualitative approach is the technique employed. The implementation of the KUBE support program in Purwoagung Tegaldlimo village, Banyuwangi Regency, cannot be said to have been effective, according to the fieldwork findings of the researchers. Only three of the six measures used—efficiency, sufficiency, and leveling—were fulfilled. In the meanwhile, there are 5 steps in the implementation process: selection, verification, checking, distribution, and monitoring. In the Banyuwangi Regency village of Purwoagung Tegaldlimo, mentorship, product promotion, COVID-19, and member commitment are the barriers to the growth of the KUBE aid program

Mastitis is an important constraint that accounts for high economic loss in dairy farms across the world. The prevalence and distribution of mastitis in dairy cows in Bangladesh is well-documented while most of thesefarms are confronted with problems of clinical and subclinical mastitis. This research was conducted to assess the rapid detection of bovine subclinical mastitis by DNA based ARDRA method and to validate its efficiency to identify other associated organisms. Traditional biochemical tests such as California mastitis test (CMT) was used for initial screening followed by direct DNA extraction from 146 CMT positive milk samples (n=196) collected from 5 different dairy farms in Chittagong. Using the extracted DNA as template, amplification of 16s ribosomal DNA by previously described universalprimers (27F and 1492R) was successfully achieved. Subsequent restriction digestion (with Hae-III) of PCR amplicons (n=51) revealed characteristic restriction pattern indicating six different groups of organisms in 38 cases where complete digestion was found. Further sequence analysis from corresponding PCR products and bioinformatic analysis revealed the identity of the responsible pathogens. Plasmid profile also was investigated to develop hypothesis associated with drug resistance patterns. The study shows that, in absence of sequencing facilities, ARDRA can be a useful approach to efficiently characterize the mastitis-causing bacteria indicating diagnostic implications.

Data Classification Concepts and Considerations for Improving Data Protection
Authors: Newhouse William , Souppaya Murugiah , Kent John , Sandlin Kenneth , Scarfone Karen
Published: November 2023

Data classification is the process an organization uses to characterize its data assets using persistent labels so those assets can be managed properly. Data classification is vital for protecting an organization’s data at scale because it enables application of cybersecurity and privacy protection requirements to the organization’s data assets. This publication defines basic terminology and explains fundamental concepts in data classification so there is a common language for all to use. It can also help organizations improve the quality and efficiency of their data protection approaches by becoming more aware of data classification considerations and taking them into account in business and mission use cases, such as secure data sharing, compliance reporting and monitoring, zero-trust architecture, and large language models.

This research was conducted to find out the implementation of Hajj and Umrah according to Law Number 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah and to find out and provide solutions to problems with the implementation of Hajj and Umrah in Indonesia. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam that must be performed by every Muslim who is physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, and financially capable and once in a lifetime. The implementation of Hajj is mandated by Law Number 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah (PIHU). In accordance with these laws and regulations, the organisation of the Hajj is the responsibility of the government. This is based on the consideration that the implementation of the Hajj is a national duty and involves the dignity and good name of the nation. The implementation of the Hajj in Indonesia as explained in article 2 and article 3 of Law Number 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah, that the Implementation of the Hajj is carried out based on the principles of sharia, trust, justice, benefit, benefit, safety, security, professionalism, transparency, and accountability. The normative legal research method is focused on analysing legal documents and applying a library research approach to Law Number 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah. Qualitatively analysed data will be presented in the form of systematic descriptions as well, then all data is selected, processed and then stated descriptively so that it can provide solutions to the problems in question. From the overall study that has been presented in accordance with Law No. 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah, it can be concluded that the implementation of Hajj and Umrah is inseparable from various problems. From the registration stage, discussion and determination of BPIH, guidance, transportation services, accommodation/lodging services, health, catering and protection of pilgrims, Hajj organisations, Hajj organising committees, and Hajj officers, the main focus of Hajj implementation has been on the provision of accommodation, transportation and catering services. Attention to these service aspects is important to realise the comfort of the pilgrims in performing their hajj, but another thing that must receive attention is the aspect of Hajj guidance, starting from the implementation of Hajj manasik guidance, to Hajj guidance during the implementation of Hajj in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. It must be said that not all hajj pilgrims have adequate knowledge and competence about hajj, therefore guidance in the implementation of hajj in Saudi Arabia is a necessity that should not be ignored, so that hajj pilgrims can perform their hajj in accordance with the provisions of shari'a and realise independence and resilience in the implementation of hajj and umrah in accordance with Law Number 8 of 2019.

The presentation includes the results of a study focused on the
relationship between the propensity for various types of cyber-aggression
and the digital experience of adolescents. Electronic and mobile communication
devices have become an important means of socialization for them.
Most teenagers reported using mobile phones for instant messaging. It is
teenagers who are characterized by signifi cant risks associated with deviant
behavior in the Internet space, namely, the cyber-aggression. Thus, the purpose
of our study was to study the relationship between the propensity to
display cyber-aggression and digital experience in a sample of adolescents.
The study focuses on whether the time spent on the Internet and the frequency
of social media use is associated with a risk factor for cyber-aggression.
The experimental study involved  adolescents. The manifestation of
cyber-aggression in our study was studied with the questionnaire “Typology
of cyber-aggression”. The assessment of the involvement of teenagers in Internet
communication was implemented by the questionnaire. The results of
our study indicate that teenagers are interested in online communication. Simultaneously,
they assess their experience of online aggression as quite rare.
Strong correlations are found between the indicators of cyber-aggression and
the characteristics describing digital experience of adolescents (. ≤ rs ≤
. at p ≤ .). The relationship between the propensity to cyber-aggression
and the digital experience of adolescents is more mediated by age than
by gender. According to the regression analysis, it was revealed that the time
spent on the Internet is a signifi cant predictor of the manifestation of their
cyber-aggressive behavior. Thus, the results of the study should be used to
teach teenagers safe behavior on the Internet, while preventive and correctional
programs of cyber-aggressive behavior of adolescents should take into
account age-specifi c manifestations of aggression on the Internet.

TEENAGER’S PREDISPOSITION TO A BULLYING ROLE: THE RELATIONSHIP WITH SELF-ATTITUDE AND PERSONALITY TRAITS
Authors: Sheveleva Anna
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Bullying is especially common in the teenage environment
both in the real world, and in the digital one. In a bullying situation,
victims are not only sufferers, but also other role positions – initiators and
their accomplices, defenders of victims and even unwitting observers. Research
aim is to reveal the interrelation of predispositions to bullying roles
with personal traits and self-attitudes. Methods included empirical techniques
“Bullyinf-roles structure research technique” (Norkina E.G.), “Bid
Five” (Costa P.T., McCrae R.R.), “Self-attitude research technique” (Pantileyev
R.S.), statistics methods. Sample involved  school students ( grade).
Results. Most of the tested teenagers tend to take up the role of “Defender”,
the second popular role is “Initiator”, then go the potential “Victims”. The
least popular roles are “Accomplices” and “Observers”. The potential “Initiators”
are people with high level of extraversion and self-attachment, and
low level of neuroticism. The potential “Defender” role correlates with the increasing
conscientiousness and agreeableness. The tendency to be a “Victim”
combines with increasing neuroticism, self-accusations, intrinsic confl ict.
The potential “Observer” role correlates with degreasing self-attachment.
The interrelations of the studied indicators with the “Accomplice” role were
not revealed. Conclusion. The discovered interrelations of the studied indicators
allow us to determine the characteristics that can become a risk factor
for being in a particular role in a bullying situation.

In the modern world, the use of digital technologies in various
spheres of human life is widespread. Digital environment allows the subjects
of education to make the process of acquiring knowledge more interesting
and effective. We were interested in the topic of the impact of digitalization
not only on the intellectual, but also on emotional, spiritual and moral development
of children. The purpose of our research is to identify the relationship
between the emotional, spiritual and moral development of preschool
children in the conditions of digitalization. In the course of the study, we
selected diagnostics aimed at determining the level of emotional, spiritual
and moral development, including techniques such as Lusher colour test and
“Unfi nished sentences”, techniques “Losing lottery”, and “Plot pictures”. Diagnostics
methods were selected taking into account the age and individual
characteristics of children. As a result of the study, we noticed that with repeated
diagnosis, the children’s indicators improved. In this regard, it can
be concluded that the use of digital technologies has a positive effect on the
emotional, spiritual and moral development of preschool children. This is
because children are interested in a new format of conveying information
and learning life lessons. Thus, the hypothesis of our study was confi rmed.
