Каноны Православной Церкви о святотатстве
Authors: Полежаева Ксения Олеговна
Published: January 2025

Настоящая статья посвящена изучению святотатства как наказуемого деяния в корпусе канонического права Православной Церкви и определению состава данного правонарушения. Целью исследования является концептуализация святотатства как способа охраны священных и иных вещей божественного права в каноническом праве. Для достижения цели автор исследует источники на греческом и латинском языках, а также их переводы. Автор заключает, что толкователи канонов о святотатстве рассматривают прежде всего 72-е и 73-е правила святых апостолов и дополняющие их 6-е и 8-е правила святого Григория Нисского, 10-е правило Двукратного Константинопольского Собора, в то время как корпус канонического права содержит и другие упоминания святотатства. Методология, выбранная автором, позволяет расширить перечень исследуемых канонов, следуя за словами ἱεροσῡλία и sacrilegium и однокоренными им. Именно они использовались для обозначения святотатства в Септуагинте и Вульгате. Исследуя тексты источников, автор обнаруживает и доказывает двуприродность святотатства как наказуемого деяния: как преступления против собственности и преступления против Бога.

The article is devoted to the study of sacrilege as a punishable act in the canon law of the Orthodox Church and the determination of the composition of this offense. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize sacrilege as a way of protecting res sacrae and other res divini iuris in canon law. The author studies sources in Greek and Latin, as well as translations, and concludes that interpreters of the canons on sacrilege consider, first of all, the 72nd and 73rd canons of the holy apostles and, complementing them, the 6th and 8th canons of St. Gregory of Nyssa, the 10th canon of the Protodeutera, while canons contain other references to sacrilege. The methodology chosen by the author allows us to expand the list of canons under study, following the words «ἱεροσῡλία» and «sacrilegium» and its cognates which were used to denote sacrilege in the Septuagint and Vulgate. Studying the texts of the sources, the author discovers and proves the dual nature of sacrilege as a punishable act — as a crime against property and a crime against God, but expressed strictly against specific objects of the material world such as res sacrae and other res divini iuris which can be both objects and persons.
Сторонники соборной экклесиологии в мире греческого православия с 2018 г.
Authors: Шлёнов Дионисий
Published: January 2025

В статье анализируются взгляды грекоязычных богословов, которые, начиная с 2018 г., то есть после предоставления автокефалии украинским раскольникам Константинопольским Патриархатом, стали поддерживать соборную позицию Русской Православной Церкви. В начале излагаются взгляды иерархов Элладской Православной Церкви, а также выдающихся представителей Кипрской и Албанской Поместных Церквей, а именно митр. Никифора и архиеп. Анастасия соответственно. Отдельно рассматриваются ключевые публикации и высказывания клириков и мирян Элладской Православной Церкви как менее, так и более радикальные. Следует отметить, что в настоящее время дискуссия ослабла в силу очень сильного давления официальной государственной и церковной власти, хотя неприятие неправомочных мер остаётся достаточно большим и среди подвизающихся на Святой Афонской Горе, и среди духовенства и прихожан храмов Греции и Кипра. Значительная часть представителей официальной иерархии не приняла во внимание данные призывы, что не означает поражения истины, которая остаётся таковой при любых обстоятельствах.

The article analyzes the views of Greek-speaking theologians who, starting in 2018, that is, after the granting of autocephaly to Ukrainian schismatics by the Patriarchate of Constantinople, began to support the conciliar position of the Russian Orthodox Church. At the beginning, the views of the hierarchs of the Greek Orthodox Church, as well as prominent representatives of the Cypriot and Albanian Local Churches, namely Met. Nicephorus and Archbishop. Anastasia accordingly. Key publications and statements of clergy and laity of the Greek Orthodox Church, both less and more radical, are examined separately. It should be noted that at present the discussion has weakened due to very strong pressure from the official state and church authorities, although the rejection of unauthorized measures remains quite large among those who labor on Mount Athos, and among the clergy and parishioners of the temples of Greece and Cyprus. A significant part of the representatives of the official hierarchy did not take these calls into account, which does not mean a defeat of the truth, which remains so under any circumstances.
Протоирей Александр Павлович Смирнов как ректор Московских духовных школ
Authors: Кечкин Иоанн / Иван Эдуардович
Published: January 2025

В статье исследуется малоизученная деятельность митрофорного протоиерея Александра Павловича Смирнова на посту ректора Московских духовных школ (1949–1950). Известный московский пастырь являлся одним из ближайших помощников патриарха Сергия (Страгородского) и патриарха Алексия I (Симанского). Главными источниками для статьи послужили малоизученные архивные материалы, сохранившие сведения о жизни московских духовных школ того времени: протоколы заседаний Учёного совета академии и семинарии, годовые отчёты и личные дела преподавателей. Определяющим источником стало личное дело протоиерея А. П. Смирнова, хранящееся в архиве Московской духовной академии. С помощью сравнительного метода изучения архивных данных, воспоминаний современников и других источников в статье была предпринята попытка восстановить максимально полную картину деятельности протоиерея А. П. Смирнова в должности ректора Московских духовных школ.

The article is devoted to the little-studied activity of the famous Moscow pastor Archpriest Alexander Pavlovich Smirnov as Rector of the Moscow Theological Schools (1949–1950). Mitred Archpriest A. P. Smirnov (1888–1950) was one of the closest aides of Patriarch Sergius (Stragorodsky) and Patriarch Alexy I (Simansky) in the 1940s. In the last period of his life Fr. Alexander headed the Moscow Theological Schools. For the theological school, it was a time of formation and development within the walls of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and the rector's work continued the best endeavors of his predecessors. The main sources for the article were little-studied archival materials that preserved information about the life of Moscow theological schools of that time: minutes of meetings of the Academic Council of the Academy and Seminary, annual reports and personal files of teachers. The determining source was the personal file of Fr. A. P. Smirnov, kept in the archives of the Moscow Theological Academy, on the basis of which it was possible to learn the details of his early biography and activities at the Academy. Based on a comparative method of studying archival data, memoirs of contemporaries, and other sources, the article attempts to reconstruct the fullest possible picture of Fr. A. P. Smirnov’s activities as rector of the Moscow Theological Schools.
Текстология списков памятника славяно-русской гимнографии XV в. «Кондаки и Икосы свт. Иоанну Златоусту»
Authors: Перминов Иоанн
Published: January 2025

Целью статьи является рассмотрение характера отношений между списками литературного памятника «Кондаки и Икосы свт. Иоанну Златоусту». В результате изучения списков автор делает вывод, что текст довольно стабилен, лишь один список имеет признаки редакторской правки. Среди остальных списков выявлен ряд незначительных изменений текста, позволяющих выделить два извода памятника. Два старших списка происходят от одного протографа и имеют прямую родственную связь. Группа младших списков происходит от одного протографа и не имеет признаков систематической правки, однако заметна тенденция к грамматической архаизации текста и к прояснению смыслов через изменение книжных форм церковнославянского текста на формы разговорного русского языка.

The purpose of the article is to consider the nature of the relationship between the lists of the literary monument «Kontakions and Oikoi to St. John Chrysostom». As a result of studying the lists, the author concludes that the text is rather stable, only one list has signs of editorial editing. Among the other folios a number of insignificant changes in the text are revealed, which allow us to distinguish two varieties of the monument. The two older lists come from the same protograph and have a direct kinship. The group of younger folios comes from one protograph and has no signs of systematic editing, but there is a tendency to grammatical archaisation of the text and to clarification of meanings by changing the book forms of the Church Slavonic text into the forms of colloquial Russian.
Therapeutic Function of an Artistic Image: Poetics of Biblical Images Serhiy Zhadan
Authors: Tychinina Alyona
Published: January 2025

This article delineates the specific therapeutic function of art in general and the artistic image in particular. Their therapeutic and compensatory potential is examined within philosophical and literary discourses. The discussion engages with Plato’s reflections on the educational and moral role of art and Aristotle’s theory concerning the cathartic effects of tragedy. Contributions from V. Maggi, S. Haupt, G. Lehnert, E. Zeller, E. Müller, and J. Bernays are considered. The study explores Friedrich Nietzsche’s notion of the receptive-compensatory function of art, particularly the reconciliation of Apollonian and Dionysian principles. Sigmund Freud’s concepts are interpreted in relation to the unconscious and the interaction between individuals and art during periods of epistemological crisis. Roman Ingarden’s perspective emphasises the therapeutic aim of literature when there is a corresponding receptive inquiry from the reader. Key ideas from reception aesthetics are foregrounded, highlighting art’s capacity to act as a medium of transcendence, influence the reader, and underpin the therapeutic effects of art and literature. Hans Robert Jauss’s concepts of the “horizon of expectations” and catharsis as a communicative dimension of aesthetic experience are revisited. Wolfgang Iser’s analysis of aesthetic experience in addressing gaps of indeterminacy is examined, alongside Umberto Eco’s insights on receptive indeterminacy as a defining feature of the “open work”, which catalyses co-creation by the recipient, stimulating imagination, fostering empathy, and providing intellectual therapy. The study also considers the therapeutic potential of sacred images during periods of radical epistemological shifts prompted by cataclysms, historical events, revolutions, or wars. Mircea Eliade’s framework of the “sacred-profane” dichotomy and the capacity of sacred images to function as points of transcendence, transcendent centres, or ontological anchors is discussed. Paul Ricoeur’s interpretation of the therapeutic influence of sacred motifs, images, and symbols on readers as they engage with existential questions is also addressed. Finally, the therapeutic role of biblical imagery – God, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and the Apostle Thomas – is analysed through the lens of Serhiy Zhadan’s poetry collection “Life of Maria” (2015).
To the Issue of Differentiating between Science Fiction and Fantasy
Authors: Paranyuk Dan
Published: January 2025

The article under studies deals with the issue of differentiating between the genres of science fiction and fantasy within contemporary literary theory. Particular emphasis has been laid on historical, theoretical, and receptive approaches to the evolution of these two genres. The article regards the concept of the genre matrix, which reflects the key invariants and dynamic changes in the genre nature of literary texts and focuses on the views of G. Genette, T. Todorov, J.-M. Schaeffer, as well as contemporary Ukrainian researchers who offer innovative approaches to the study of genre evolution. The article also traces up how fiction, which historically emerged at the intersection of mythology, folklore, and epic, evolved into meta-genre forms such as science fiction and fantasy. It considers the specifics of the simulative chronotope, which combines the real and the imaginary, intertextuality as a key element of genre construction, as well as the receptive orientation of the genre. The concepts of genre transformation and modification, which affect the transformation of genres into new forms, are analyzed separately. The study also emphasizes the differences and common features between science fiction and fantasy, in particular, through the criteria of chronotope, motivation of events, and receptive specificity of texts. It suggests regarding fantasy as a meta-genre with a wide range of varieties, from epic to philosophical. The differentiation of the fantastic deepens the understanding of genre boundaries and mechanisms of literary dynamics.
Novel at the Crossroads of Genres: How G. K. Chesterton Combined Detective Fiction, Fantasy, and Thriller in “The Man Who Was Thursday”
Authors: Polshchak Aneliya
Published: January 2025

The article explores the distinctive genre structure of Gilbert Keith Chesterton’s novel. The author examines how Chesterton skillfully blended elements from three genres – detective fiction, fantasy, and thriller – creating a work that transcends traditional genre boundaries. Special attention is given to how Chesterton used the detective element to build intrigue and tension, the fantasy elements to delve into philosophical questions, and the thriller aspect to maintain a dynamic atmosphere filled with unpredictability and mystery. Chesterton effectively integrates these genres to craft a narrative that immerses the reader in a world of constant unexpected events. The detective aspect serves as the main tool for structuring the plot and developing the central intrigue, as the characters strive to uncover a conspiracy and identify the true leader of the anarchists. Fantasy elements are employed by Chesterton to reflect his philosophical ideas and explore essential questions of existence. The surreal events in the novel heighten the sense of a dreamlike atmosphere and symbolize the author’s deep philosophical reflections on the nature of the human soul, free will, and the invisible hand of God in human life. Thriller elements give the novel its dynamism and emotional intensity, which permeates the entire text. The constant feeling of danger, pursuit, and mysterious characters reinforces the atmosphere of anxiety, emphasizing the key themes of the work. The article also highlights how the combination of different genre elements allowed Chesterton to create a complex and multilayered narrative. This genre flexibility helps the novel remain relevant even many years after its creation. By skillfully intertwining detective fiction, fantasy, and thriller, the work not only captivates with its intrigue but also invites readers to reflect on deeper issues of morality, free will, and the nature of good and evil.
Existential Dimensions of War in Ernst Jünger’s Essay “War as Inner Experience”
Authors: Kalynych Kateryna
Published: January 2025

This article explores the existential dimensions of war as presented in Ernst Jünger’s essay “War as Inner Experience”. As a direct participant in World War I, Jünger centers his reflections on the protagonist’s (his own) personal engagement with the destructive phenomenon of war, which serves as a means for self-transformation and the integration of these experiences into a cathartic process. The study underscores that Jünger’s poetic portrayal of combat operates as an attempt to grapple with human existence in its most critical and extreme states. Invoking Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical concept of the “Übermensch”, the analysis posits that war gives rise to a new archetype of soldier – individuals who, through an ongoing process of existential transformation, adeptly navigate societal destruction and derive self-identification from their wartime experiences. Existential categories such as solitude, fear, anxiety, freedom, and faith are intricately woven into each chapter of Jünger’s work. The study further identifies key binary oppositional existential themes that form the conceptual core of Jünger’s narrative. These include the oppositions “Eros and Blood”, “The Trench and Pacifism”, and “Horror and Courage”, which reflect the author’s moral and philosophical contemplation of his wartime experiences. The dichotomy of “Eros and Blood” serves as a metaphor for the tension between the polarities of “life and death”. Blood is emblematic of the mortal violence inflicted upon the enemy, whereas Eros, by contrast, signifies the affirmation of life and a quest to reclaim vitality. Similarly, “The Trench and Pacifism” illustrates the gulf between the harsh realities of frontline existence and the utopian aspiration for peace. The trench becomes a symbol of dehumanization, while pacifism embodies the longing for a harmonious world. Lastly, Jünger’s existential pair “Horror and Courage”, forged through the crucible of war, captures a spectrum of emotional extremes. Horror immobilizes and disorients, whereas courage replenishes the inner resolve of the soldier, enabling decisive action. Through such oppositional binaries, Jünger constructs a conceptual framework in which war emerges as a transformative force, capable of forging a new human identity.
Non-Fiction from a Historical Perspective: Situation of Lithuanian Statemen Amid Tragic Events of 1940–1941
Authors: Landsbergytė-Becher Jūratė
Published: January 2025

Non-fiction literature has become the crucial historical drama of the present, with its power to change the fate of the state and its interpretations. The line of statehood defence in the context of history or the so-called Mannerheim line is crucial in texts accessing only destroyed documentary sources left from decades of occupation. It is characteristic of the current era, in which real wars of history develop, and fiction causes the need for non-fiction looking for explanations, facts and illuminating shadowed destruction of the State and still dark turns of Lithuania’s historical path. Several episodes of non-fiction electrify society even today. There are unresolved questions where non-fiction is invaluable to changing the pro-Soviet historical narrative. The first question is the meeting of the last Government and the loss of Independence on June 15, 1940. Most Lithuanians believe it was President Antanas Smetona’s guilt (1874–1944), though he voted against the Soviets’ ultimatum and realised where things were leading. The question about the President’s guilt for leaving Lithuania and his mysterious death in an “accidental” fire in the USA is still influential in contemporary Lithuania but seems to have failed for genuine historical research. The following unresolved question is about the June Uprising against the Soviets during the invasion of the German army and the role of Colonel Kazys Škirpa in collaboration with Nazis or being their enemy. Historian and journalist Vidmantas Valiušaitis is engaged in the historical decoding of the Lithuanian Statehood path and building its own Mannerheim line, actually for predicting the fate of Ukraine and a new war with the Imperial ambitions of Russia in Europe.
“Free Fantasiesˮ: Fictionalization of Autobiographical Narration with the Help of Music
Authors: Macenka Svitlana
Published: January 2025

The article explores the fictionalization of autobiographical texts with the help of music. The theoretical basis of the research lies in an analysis of fictionality from a comparative perspective of arts and media. Central to the analysis is the concept of “automediality” which is closely linked to the cultural and media nature of individual and collective identities as well as the principles of intermediality. Within such a theoretical framework, subjectivity is seen as a concept constructed using bodily and medial techniques. Thus, the study aims to reveal a model of creative becoming in the way it is presented in the autobiographical short story “The Future of Beauty” („Die Zukunft der Schönheitˮ, 2018) by the contemporary German writer Friedrich Christian Delius (1943–2022). It is stated that the decisive role in the described process of remembering adolescence and youth by the author is played by a well-known concert of free jazz saxophone player Albert Ayler, which F. C. Delius attended in 1966 as a member of the not least famous meetings of Group 47 at Princeton. The analysis revealed how American free jazz is becoming an important non-narrative form of self-construction and the main modus for portraying oneself. The concert is depicted as a revelation of one’s own creative life. It is argued that the German writer has a particular media-specific technique of reflecting on one’s own creative personality, namely that he skilfully semanticizes specific performances of the jazz concert and, thus, fictionalizes the autobiographical story. Communication with one’s past, contextualized and activated by a jazz concert, is perceived as a fictional event, specifically in its performability aspect: within a concert, as a performative act, we observe gradual and immediate change not just in the perception of music but also in the attitude toward one’s past.
“Yaremchuk: The Incomparable World of Beauty” (2024): The Literary Potential of a Non-Fiction (Cinema) Text
Authors: Nikoriak Nataliia
Published: January 2025

In terms of the discourse of the literary potential of non-fiction (cinema) texts, the article under discussion presents a detailed analysis of the biographical documentary “Yaremchuk: The Incomparable World of Beauty” (2024) directed by Artem Hryhorian. It points out that in order to artistically reconstruct the history of personal and creative growth of the famous Bukovynian singer and folk artist, the first Ukrainian pop star, the lead singer of the VIA “Smerichka” Nazariy Yaremchuk, the filmmakers have skillfully combined a number of non-fictional sources in the film. In particular, these are diaries, memoirs, interviews, expert comments, photographs, film documents, and newsreels, which make the film emotionally rich and authentic, at the same time revealing the deep literary potential of the documentary text. The article emphasizes that Nazariy Yaremchuk’s diaries have become a reliable source of knowledge about him, allowing the readers to understand his inner world, thoughts, feelings, experiences, as well as trace up the sequence of his life events. They do not just outline the author’s inner world, his individual perception of the surrounding reality, but, within the literary discourse, become a unique text, marked with poetry and deep psychology. This cinema text is a literary study of an exceptional personality with a unique inner world and a deep understanding of the Ukrainian soul, with spirituality and close connection to nature, with a desire to preserve and develop folk culture, promoting it in his work. The artist is regarded as a special character of his time. He expresses the spirit of the era whose social and spiritual life is reflected in his fate. The filmmakers present the material in such a way as to convey the hero’s inner feelings and love for his country and his muse – the song. Accordingly, the latter plays a leading role in the film, becoming a means of expressing the inner world and psychology of the hero. The songs that sound in the film set the mood for a certain emotional atmosphere, as well as move on the film narrative, emphasizing the importance of the musical heritage that Nazariy Yaremchuk left behind. It is essential that the cinema text intertextually refers to the legendary film-musical “Chervona Ruta” (1971), the film directed by the Estonian filmmakers “Smerichka Ensemble under the Direction of Levko Dutkivsky” (1975), and the musical film “Chervona Ruta. 10 Years Later” (1981).
The Genre on the Boundary: Innovative Features of the Czech Enigmatic Prose
Authors: Pospíšil Ivo
Published: January 2025

The author of the present contribution deals with the development of the Czech enigmatic prose since the 1960s which arose from a specific branch of classical science fiction by means of the gradual transition to the problem of enigma expressing the cinviction of the extraterrestrial origin of humankind which might radically change the whole concept of history of the Earth and our notion of the rise and fall of cosmos.This type of nonfiction has often an artistic character of belles lettres (fiction) which absolved of the responsibility for strict rationalism and the only right views shared by the science mainstream. The authors of this type of prose quite frequently used genre masks for expressing their real research intentions. Later they ceased to be so timid and started create the real literature of the fact that moved along the boundary of fiction and nonfiction like the majority of world bestsellers. The clusters of such works and the groupings of their authors have been formed the special canon having – as a other genres or types of literature – its fandom and also sharp critics. The author of the present contribution focused on two main figures of this current – Ludvík Souček (1926–1978) and Arnošt Vašíček (born 1953) – not avoiding their predecessors in world interliterary community. The present contribution came to the conclusion that especially this genre type has an immense potential to develop and link various poetological strata of both fiction and nonfiction permeating them in most prolific way. From the point of view of literary scholarship these artefacts have been playing the key role in world literature, at least the most read and readable which lasu contains strong elements of genuine creativity.
Life as a Journey: Travel Essays of Petro Franko
Authors: Tykholoz Nataliia
Published: January 2025

The article reveals the early period of work of Petro Franko (1890–1941) as a representative of the literary Franko dynasty (the youngest son of Ivan Franko). The exploration is based on historical-documentary searches, in particular archival and library. The scientific novelty of the exploration lies in consideration of Petro Franko’s travel essays , which for a long time were out of the attention of researchers due to the prohibition the figure of Ivan Franko’s son in Soviet literary studies. Petro Franko’s life was cut short by the totalitarian Stalinist regime and in consequence of his works were overlooked by researchers. The main attention is focused on the consideration of travel (traveling) essays appeared in the works of Peter Franko as a result of his passion for sports and tourism. The peculiarities of new thematic genre types of essays and reports are clarified: ski essays and ski reports (from the English ski – skiing). A significant number of texts on the topic of skiing in his work and their cross-cutting content and poetic features give the right to claim about Petro Franko’s complete ski text as a phenomenon of sports and travel literature and journalism. The corpus of texts united by the topos of mountains is also taken into consideration. Ivan Franko’s love for traveling in Pidgirya and Chornagora, attached to his children, was also reflected in the work of his son Petro. It is asserted that the son continued and developed the mountain (in particular the Carpathians) text of his father (in his Boykivsko-Pidgirnyi and Hutsulsko-Verkhovynskyi variations). Peter Franko’s travel essays enriched the mountain (Carpathian) text of Ukrainian literature.
The 1989 Revolutionthroughtheeyes of an American composer
Authors: Barbul Andra Maria
Published: January 2025

The 1989 Revolution was an important moment in Romania's history. Today, through the testimonies of those who lived through December 89, we can understand the struggle that people fought to gain access to a better life, a life that they won for us, the people of today. The subject has been a source of inspiration for foreigners, including the American composer Aaron Garber, who, being married to a Romanian woman and learning about the life Romanians led at that time and the prohibitions they were under because of the communist regime, decided to compose a work on the 1989 event as it started in Timisoara. It is important to emphasize that the characters in this work include martyrs of the 1989 Revolution, namely sisters Mariana and Margareta Caceu. The names of the two sisters can be found at the Timisoara Revolution Memorial, an association that honors and keeps alive the memory of martyred heroes, offering the general public the truth about the events of December 1989.

„Cantate Domino canticum novum”, for Choir and Organ by Arvo Pärt. Stylistic and interpretative Analysis: Conductor’s perspective
Authors: Cohal Dragos-Mihai
Published: January 2025

Written in 1977, the work by composer Arvo Pärt, Cantate Domino canticum novum (for organ and mixed choir), is based on the text of Psalm 96. The writing is homophonic and isorhythmic, and the tempo is lively, which, along with the piece's major tonality, constitutes exceptions in the landscape of the tintinnabuli style. The organ serves throughout the work as the Tintinnabuli voice, while the choral voices intone the Cantus firmus, taking on the role of the Melodic voice. The harmonic trajectory adheres to the tintinnabuli tradition: the entire work remains on the initially chosen pitch, noting that the organ, fulfilling the role of the T voice, exclusively intones the notes of the arpeggio in B-flat major. The melodic character of the entire work resembles the recitative style of the Catholic liturgical rite. The construction of the piece has an orderly succession based on the logic of accumulation, combined with antiphonal style, allowing the female voices to dialogue with the male voices, which then immediately come together to form a mixed four-voice texture.
Symphony of Space: Where Architecture meets Melody
Authors: Hakimzadeh Parimah , Ronagh Ehsan
Published: January 2025

This article explores the mathematical link between parametric architecture and music, revealing two key approaches to examining their relationship: conceptual and formal. The conceptual approach emphasizes space and its defining characteristics, while the formal approach delves into the physical forms by analyzing external and internal layers. Externally, it examines the relationship between frequencies, vibrations, and form creation. Internally, it focuses on the shared mathematical proportions in both music and architecture. Utilizing Ernst Chladni's cymatics experiments, which relate sound waves to geometric shapes, the research develops a mathematical formula to transform musical notes into two-dimensional forms. This quantitative approach demonstrates how both disciplines can be interconnected through mathematical language, algorithms, and geometry, offering insights into sound’s structural representation. The study also suggests future directions for research, encouraging further exploration of the intersections between sound and architectural form in parametric design.

Published: January 2025

Ketergantungan Indonesia terhadap impor garam telah menjadi permasalahan yang krusial bagi ketahanan pangan nasional, mengingat potensi sumber daya alam dan panjangnya garis pantai yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh harga garam domestik, tingkat produksi garam nasional, dan jumlah petambak garam terhadap volume impor garam di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis data pada penelitian ini adalah regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga garam domestik dan jumlah petambak garam memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap impor garam di Indonesia. Sedangkan produksi produksi garam lokal tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap impor garam di Indonesia. Hal ini disebabkan oleh produktivitas garam nasional yang rendah sangat tergantung pada kondisi cuaca yang umumnya hanya memungkinkan produksi selama periode empat bulan saja.

Distributed and dynamic resource allocation in wireless ATM access networks
Authors: Sinner Christian , Wolf Michael
Published: January 2025

Wireless ATM access networks are currently discussed intensely. In this article, the dynamic resource allocation within the MAC layer of WATM systems is discussed. Emphasizing ease of implementation, the protocols of WATMnet, MEDIAN, MBS and Magic WAND are compared. Based upon this, a novel MAC protocol is outlined that attempts to combine the benefits while avoiding some of the drawbacks of these projects. Central to this new scheme called Distributed and Dynamic Resource Allocation (DADRA) is the move of uplink traffic prediction and computation into the mobile terminals (MT), leaving the base station to collect precise demand requests and to coordinate media access. The reduced processing demand on the base station may lower equipment costs and increase the number of supported connections while the load on the individual MT is increased marginally.

Variable rate error protection is required to support the broad range of quality of service (QoS) requirements for multimedia services in future Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)‐based wireless networking systems known as wireless ATM (WATM). In this paper, the performance of a rate‐compatible punctured convolution (RCPC) coding scheme is examined. It provides adaptive forward error correction (FEC) at the physical (PHY) layer of the (non‐ATM) wireless access segment, that interworks with the fixed ATM transport network. Bit error rate (BER) performance of the RCPC codes is evaluated for a range of wireless protocol data unit (PDU) formats. The throughput is also compared with well known Bose‐Chaudhuri‐Hocquenghem (BCH) and Reed‐Solomon (RS) block codes. An hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ)/FEC protocol that uses RCPC coding to distribute error protection between the wireless PHY and data link control (DLC) layers is also presented. Issues relating to complexity/cost trade‐off, and effects of multipath fading, require further study.

The next generation internet (NGI) or Internet2 is an initiative for the integration of higher speed backbone communication networks as a means to replace the current inadequate Internet for many applications including medical imaging. This paper first reviews the current status of the Internet2 and reasons why telemedicine and teleradiology require its service. A case study is given using the private ATM OC‐3 network at the Laboratory for Radiological Informatics, UCSF as an example for connecting a local site to the Internet2. Network security and data integrity are discussed in both the global and the local network level. Some preliminary results on Internet2 performance in the regional and the national level, as well as comparing with other WAN technologies are given.

A pilot system for a mammography tele‐consultation in TaiChung Veterans General Hospital (TCVGH), Taiwan is proposed in this paper. It is developed and designed based on a distributed system and implemented in a top‐down high speed network hierarchy with communication security. It is also integrated with specific diagnostic tools and collaboration awareness tools currently available in TCVGH and linked with the external internet, Taiwan Academic Network (TANet) that will be upgraded into the next generation, TANet2 in the next five years. The distributed system is designed using a JAVA‐based remote method invoking system. It allows the transport of images through a firewall combined with peripheral applications that include a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) server for image transmission, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Hospital Information System (HIS) and computer‐aided diagnostic systems via a Java native interface. The communication security is implemented using ElGamal’s public‐key cryptosystem for identifications of authorization. Finally the specific mammography diagnostic tools and collaboration awareness tools demonstrated in the proposed system are developed in accordance with the Breast Imaging Reporting And Data System (BI‐RADS) suggested by the American College of Radiology.

A mobile telemedicine system was designed, implemented, and tested for real‐time diagnosis during ambulance transport. The system uses multiple public wireless cellular phones to transmit video and patient biosignals from a moving ambulance to a hospital and delivers to the desktop computer of the receiving physician. The mobile unit on the ambulance is turn‐key operated and has an image selection controller for paramedics to send images at specific times and to capture images at high frame rates. The mobile telemedicine system was installed on two ambulances and was successfully used in diagnosing acute ischemic stroke during the transport of six patients. Using the system, stroke specialists were able to remotely conduct neurological examinations which required evaluation of facial expressions and movement of arms and legs. Questionnaires completed by four users (two paramedics and two stroke specialists) of the mobile telemedicine system indicated that (1) the system did not intrude into the privacy of the patient or the paramedics, (2) it was easy to use, (3) it was adequate for conducting clinical examinations, and (4) it conveyed critical clinical information.

On improving the performance of utility‐based wireless fair scheduling through a combination of adaptive FEC and ARQ
Authors: Gao Xia , Nandagopal Thyagarajan , Bharghavan Vaduvur
Published: January 2025

The increasing number of wireless data users and the deployment of broadband wireless networks have brought the issue of providing fair channel access to the forefront. Wireless fair scheduling algorithms must deal with unique domain‐specific issues such as location‐dependent and bursty channel error. In the past, a number of scheduling disciplines have been proposed for approximating fluid fair queueing in wireless channels, but using only the ARQ‐based link‐layer retransmit model (Bhagwat et al., in: IEEE INFOCOM, 1996; Lu et al., in: ACM SIGCOMM, 1997; Ng et al., in: IEEE INFOCOM, 1998; Lu et al., WINET 6, 2000, pp. 323–343; Nandagopal et al., in: ACM MOBICOM, 1999).

In this work, we generalize past work in three key ways: (a) we use the notion of ‘utility‐based’ fair scheduling, wherein the goal of the scheduler is to serve flows in a way that maximizes the aggregate utility of the system, (b) we combine the techniques of FEC and ARQ in a generalized framework in which different scheduling disciplines can be realized by mixing and matching component algorithms within the framework, and (c) we support the notion of ‘application level fairness’ when flows see different channel error probabilities.

Specifically, we explore the combination of adaptive FEC and ARQ‐based schemes within the utility‐based wireless fair scheduling paradigm. We show through simulation and analysis that this combination enables the scheduling disciplines to optimize the aggregate system utility and achieve application level fairness, while handling varying channel errors effectively.

This paper presents results from the Cellular IP Project at Columbia University on Internet micromobility. Cellular IP complement Mobile IP with support for fast, seamless and local handoff control, and IP paging. We discuss the design, implementation and evaluation of the Cellular IP protocol using simulation, analysis and experimentation. We report on the ability of Cellular IP to offer seamless mobility for TCP and UDP applications operating in highly mobile environments. We present a comparison of a number of IP micromobility protocols using the Columbia IP Micromobility Software (CIMS) ns‐2 extension that supports separate programming models for Cellular IP, Hawaii and Hierarchical Mobile IP. We discuss simulation results to illustrate the performance of these micromobility protocols. The source code for CIMS and the Cellular IP experimental testbed are freely available from the Web (comet.columbia.edu/cellularip).
Virtual video caching: A scalable and generic technique for improved quality of video service
Authors: Pal Sudebkumar Prasant , Suman Rajiv Ranjan , Anil Kumar G. Sudha , Malhotra Ruchi
Published: January 2025

In this paper we propose a new scheme for scalable video services across the Internet. We envisage the future Internet to be very video intensive where large video and multimedia files (or portions of files) would be accessed over the entire network by a large number of users very frequently. Such large sets of data would contribute to a significant fraction of the entire traffic. Quality of service guarantees would therefore have to be provided for such services. We consider video traffic and show how good service can be provided using our new, scalable and generic notions of video caching and virtual video caching. In order to measure the success of such caching schemes, we introduce the notion of blackouts. A blackout is the break in viewing a video movie between two consecutive clips due to download delay. We define blackout length as the sum of the durations of all blackouts occuring during the service of the video request. We use our generic caching techniques to provide video viewing with low values for average blackout frequencies and blackout lengths; when we use virtual video caching, we get much better performance than what ordinary video caching offers. Our performance studies are based on extensive simulations done by varying parameters such as request rates, cache sizes, queue sizes and packet sizes. Our techniques apply also to large non‐video files that need to be downloaded as streams of smaller chunks in a sequence.
A self‐checking signature scheme for checking backdoor security attacks in Internet
Authors: Abdulla M.F. , Ravikumar C.P.
Published: January 2025

It is very common for people across the globe to collaborate on the Internet and intellectual property amongst each other. A serious threat to this form of collaboration can come from “backdoor” attacks from hackers, who can distort the information content. For example, a backdoor attack may replace common operating system functions with malicious ones. A possible precaution against such an attack is to generate a signature database and compare the signature of a system functionality with its golden signature before using the functionality. We present an alternate and novel method to detect Trojan activity. Called time fingerprinting, the method relies on observing a finite number of fingerprints during signature generation and tracing the Trojan fingerprints in system files. We have verified the desired properties using common semi trusted operating system files.
