Visual Representation of Photography on the Cover of Fiction Novels
Authors: Arsita Adya
Published: August 2024

As a visual sign, photography is considered to be the right medium to represent an object with all its resemblance with the reality. The reality embedded in a photography is in line with the reliability of its audience who adhere to "seeing is believing" or believing in seeing. On the other hand, carefully structured verbal signs in a storyline appear in a narrative medium, one of which is a novel. Most novels that are considered popular are then often adapted to the story of a big screen film and then the cover of the original novel is replaced with a photo work that is considered as a representation of the story in a film. This research will examine how photography becomes an instrument of visual representation in conveying the message of the content of fiction novels and finding out the imagery relationships constructed by both verbal and pictorial texts on the cover of novels. This study used descriptive qualitative methods that would describe the aspects and characteristics of a particular message through empirical interpretation. It is hoped that the results of this study will add to the discourse on the visual representation of photography that can effectively deliver the message of the story by representing the entire narrative in the novel with just one frame in the form of a novel cover.

Authors: Karpuz Esra , Garayev Bakhtiyar
Published: August 2024

This study examines the relationship between sustainable development and indicators of financial development in emerging market economies. Among the indicators considered for financial development are the effects of financial advancement on sustainable development, national credit to the private sector, market value, foreign trade, and renewable energy. In order to determine the relationship between sustainable development and financial development, panel data analysis will be conducted by utilizing annual data from the period of 2010 to 2019. Between the years 2010 and 2019, financial development, market value, imports and exports in MSCI emerging market countries have positively influenced the sustainable development index. However, increases in domestic credits and renewable energy consumption have led to a decline in the sustainable development index. The consideration of multiple indicators enhances the robustness of representing financial development compared to relying on a single indicator. Within the literature, there is a scarcity of studies concerning sustainable development in developing countries, and there is no existing research that examines the specified indicators within the context of the mentioned countries. The findings of the research will guide the economies of developing countries to become more efficient, sustainable, and resilient to potential crises.

Published: August 2024

Economic growth that increases the traffic load on national roads requires these roads to have decent, safe and comfortable services. Landslide was occurred on the Sekayu-Mangun Jaya STA 127+350 road section which disrupted traffic activity. This occurrence caused the major road to shift sideways and deteriorate, rendering the route's service capacity insufficient. The road section has been repaired and is planned to use soil retaining wall reinforcement as a countermeasure. This study aims to determine the slope stability of the Sekayu-Mangun Jaya road before and after reinforcement is carried out. Slope stability analysis was performed by empirical methods using infinite slope theory and the finite element method using the Plaxis program. The calculation results show that the safety factor of the slope before the retaining wall is installed at BH-01 is 0.9. This value falls under the category of unstable slope. The safety factor at the BH-02 location was obtained at 1.3 in the moderate stability category. Slope stability after strengthening with the installation of embankments and retaining walls shows an increase in the safety factor at BH-01 to 2.59. After the slope reinforcement was carried out, the slope deformation decreased significantly to 1.5 m. The results implicated that with slope reinforcement, slope stability increases and the possibility of landslides decreases.

Published: August 2024

Clay is a soil with fine particle size less than 0.002 mm, low permeability, cohession, high swelling, and slow consolidation process. Due to that problem it needs some improvement to stabilize the condition of soil before the process of construction conducted. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding shredded tire and cold mix bitumen as the value of shear strength changing are cohession, friction angle, and shear strength with triaxial unconsolidated undrained test. To see the effect of those mixture, this study uses 48 soil samples with 4 variation of shredded tired (0%, 1%, 1,5%, and 2%)  and 4 variation of cold mix bitumen (0%, 1%, 2%, dan 3%). The result of this study showed that the adding of shredded tired and cold mix bitumen in soil compositition can increase parameters of soil. The optimum cohession is on variation 1% SB+2% B (T99B2SB1) with the value 0.61 kg/cm2. Meanwhile the optimum value of friction angle is on variation 1.5% SB+ 1%  B (T98.5B1SB1.5) with the value 7.43o. The shear strength as the sum of cohession and friction angle tends to increase with the optimum value about 0.995 kg/cm2 in variation 2% bitumen and 1% shredded tire (T99B1SB1). From the study, the adding of shredded tired and cold mix bitumen improve the shear strength. The optimum value of shear strength is on variation 2% B+1% SB (T99B1SB1) with the value 0.995 kg/cm2. This study shows that stabilization material used in this research can be an alternative material for soil stabilization.

Authors: Zarinda Septi Wila , Daoed Darwizal , Nurhamidah Nurhamidah
Published: August 2024

The magnitude of the longitudinal slope of river gratly determines the magnitude of sediment transport. This is due to the large flow velocity. This shape causes gradation of the river bed, especially upstream of the river. This phenomenon is seen in the middle segment of Batang Kuranji. where a sediment control buildg or check dam has been built. However, sediment transport and changes in river cross-section upstream still occur. Based on this phenomenon, a simulation of changes in flood discharge on sediment rate was carried out. This simulation was carried out using the Meyer Peter Muller method found in HEC-RAS 6.0.0. The simulation was carried out using 25 year planned flood discharge with smaller variations in discharge changes, namely Q1, Q2 and Q3. In general, the simulation results show that changes in flood discharge determine the magnitude of changes in sediment rates, the greater the flow discharge, the higher the sediment rate, both with and without check dams. The simulation results also show that the sediment rate in conditions with a check dam has decreased compared to conditions without a check dam, this shows that the presence of a check dam can reduce the sediment rate that occurred before the check dam was built.

Published: August 2024

Background: Infertility is a medical disorder characterized by inability of a couple to conceive following a year of unprotected sexual activity. This study was aimed to demonstrate the serum interleukin-17 (IL-17A), IL-17F and demonstrate the role of IL-17A rs2275913 and IL-17F rs763780 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) gene in the infertile Kurdish women. Methods: Using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the serum IL-17A and IL-17F levels in 50 fertile participants and 134 women with infertility diagnoses were determined in this case-control research. The genotyping of the IL17A and IL-17F SNPs genes was found using the tetraamplification refractory mutation system-PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) technique. Results: Infertile women had a statistically significant lower serum concentration of IL-17A compared to fertile participants. Conversely, the serum level of IL-17F was non-significantly higher in infertile women compared to fertile women. In IL-17A, women with the AA genotype, recessive model (AA+GA) vs. GG, and A allele exhibited a higher risk for infertility. In the case of IL-17F, the TC and CC genotypes, and C allele, show a greater risk for infertility. Conclusions: The present study confirmed that IL-17A and IL17F gene polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of women's infertility.

The paper highlights the significance of surface reading, object-oriented criticism, and their influence in contemporary ecocriticism and intermedial studies, underscoring a reevaluation of critical practices in light of aesthetic and ecological considerations.
Feminism and Antifeminism in Romanian Theatre Criticism in Interwar Years
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Runcan Miruna
Published: August 2024

In Romania, during the interwar years, it seems that theatre reviews – much like theatre criticism in general, narrowly as it was and sometimes continues to be defined in Romania – was only considered legitimate if signed by men. There were but two timid exceptions, two female voices whose writings were partially recovered as late as 1978-1983 and have been insufficiently explored since: the poet and memoirist Otilia Cazimir, who worked as an inspector for the Ministry of Arts’ Theatre Directorate for a decade, and the aesthetics professor Alice Voinescu. This paper is an attempt to turn the spotlight not onto the two writers’ theatre-related activity, but rather to the way they engaged, in writing or in action, with the thorny issues of feminism. Their opposing standpoints – a feminism of emancipation vs. an anti-feminist type of feminism – still proves emblematic to our day for the specific way in which socio-cultural mentalities and perceptions on women’s condition in 20th-century Romania were preserved; it appears that post-socialist theatre criticism, especially from the decade 2000-2010, coalesced around the same positions.

The present article traces the evolution and development of the French chanson, focusing on the Parisian chanson and the changes underwent by the genre under the influence of the group La Pléiade. One of the most important contributions France has made to the music of the Renaissance, the chanson embodies the endeavors that guided French artists of the Renaissance to prove that the French language possessed all the necessary qualities for becoming a poetic language. Relinquishing the sobriety of the Franco-Flemish school, Renaissance composers turned to a simpler, more melodious expression in their works, striving to place the text at the forefront. The 1520’s witnessed the emergence of a new type of chanson, generally known as the Parisian chanson, with its lyrical and narrative versions, exemplified by the works of such composers as Claudin de Sermisy or Clément Janequin. From the complex polyphonic works, composers turned to more transparent textures, characterized by homorhythm and homophony. The chanson was also influenced by the ideals proposed by the Pléiade group, which placed poetry at the forefront, the music following the metric and rhythmic patterns of the declamation – a practice that became known as musique mesurée and was represented by the works of Claude Le Jeune. Finally, the end of the 16th century brought about the gradual replacement of the genre with the air du cour, which would gain popularity in the 17th century. Nonetheless, the particularities of the musique mesurée would have a great influence on declamation and the importance of the accents in song – concepts that lies at the core of French vocal music of the following centuries. The analysis proposed by the authors presents pieces that are representative for the evolution of the genre, striving to reveal the particularities of each period in the development of the chanson.

Ligeti’s Sonic Odyssey. Music as a Gateway to the Unknown in 2001: A Space Odyssey
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland. Email: kopecmartyna97@gmail.com., Kopeć Martyna
Published: August 2024

Music in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey plays a crucial role in eliciting moods due to its sparse dialogue. Instead of using typical film score, Kubrick decided to use already existing recordings of four classical music composers. György Ligeti’s compositions stand out in a stark contrast to the overall soundtrack of the film and evoke a sense of eeriness. Film's plot unfolds through four segments, each marked by an appearance of a monolith, with Ligeti's music acting as a leitmotif. Micropolyphonic textures, characterized by dense musical layering and dissonance, reflect hidden and inaudible aspects of the unknown, comparable to the vastness of outer space.

pervivencia de los grandes compositores del pasado en los músicos del presente
Authors: Barberá José Miguel , Vela González Marta , Gisbert Caudeli Vicenta
Published: August 2024

Entre 2018 y 2021 se realizó una macroencuesta en la que participaron cuatro mil sujetos, todos ellos músicos profesionales y en activo, de la tradición llamada clásica y de formación académica, de noventa y seis países diferentes. Se considera que los participantes han de poseer amplios conocimientos y dominio del repertorio musical de los estilos musicales de diferentes épocas históricas, y con ello se pretende conocer la preferencia musical y dilucidar hasta qué punto ésta puede estar condicionada por el repertorio predominante a lo largo de su formación. La pregunta nuclear de esta investigación solicitaba el nombre de cinco compositores y el resultado obtenido mostró una clara tendencia hacia el barroco y el clasicismo, pues el 51,1% de la muestra coincidió citando a tres compositores: Bach, Mozart y Beethoven, reuniendo el 48,9% restante a más de novecientos compositores. La presencia de compositoras es mínima, pues solo un 3,2% del total de las respuestas se decanta por el repertorio compuesto por mujeres. Predomina el repertorio histórico frente al contemporáneo en la formación profesional, algo que puede verse reflejado tanto en la preferencia musical como en la escucha o la interpretación, ocupando en este estudio lugares poco relevantes.

Information about the situation in the People's Republic of Poland in samizdat issues of Lidove noviny.
Authors: Smolka Radek
Published: August 2024

During the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, strict censorship was present in all media. The recipients of written and spoken information were therefore unable to access genuine free news and were exposed only to the propaganda of the totalitarian regime. One of the illegal ways to obtain uncensored information was to read samizdat periodicals. The creation and sale of samizdat were severely punished, yet there were dissidents who were willing to risk imprisonment and distributed samizdat periodicals. One of the most important periodicals was Lidove noviny. This article examines the question of how the Lidove noviny reported on the situation in the PPR.
Polityka władzy ludowej wobec ludności ukraińskiej w Polsce w okresie 1944–1950
Authors: Kurcewicz Urszula
Published: August 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza polityki władz komunistycznych wobec ludności ukraińskiej zamieszkującej terytorium Polski po II wojnie światowej. Koncepcje polityczne władzy ludowej dotyczące kwestii mniejszości narodowych były realizowane poprzez prowadzenie ściśle kontrolowanej przez państwo polityki etnicznej i migracyjnej. Zgodnie z ideą utworzenia państwa monoetnicznego ludność ukraińska została przesiedlona z dotychczasowych miejsc zamieszkania.  Pierwsza fala deportacji Ukraińców z ziem południowo-wschodnich Polski nastąpiła na mocy porozumienia z 1944 roku w sprawie ewakuacji obywateli polskich z terytorium ZSRR i ludności ukraińskiej z terytorium Polski zawartego pomiędzy Polskim Komitetem Wyzwolenia Narodowego i Rząd Ukraińskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki. Począwszy od 1947 r. ludność ukraińska była przymusowo przesiedlana na Ziemie Odzyskane w ramach zakończonej w 1950 r. Akcji „Wisła”. Autor artykułu przybliża zarówno założenia przesiedlenia, jak i koncepcje dotyczące asymilacji ludności ukraińskiej w nowych miejsca osadnictwa.

The "Japanese Gaze" and Racism
Authors: Fujii Hikaru
Published: August 2024

In this essay, Japanese artist Hikaru Fujii introduces his media installations works, which trace the history of the “gaze” at racialized Others present throughout Japanese art history, especially as Japan grappled with its own modernization as a nation-state. Hikaru Fujii incorporates his research into his own media works, specifically addressing the questions of how the “Japanese gaze” has shaped the visuality of others in Japanese paintings, world’s fairs, and art institutions, such as in the case of the 15th-century Nanban Folding Screens (Southern Barbarian Screens), which depicted Portuguese and people of African descent (most likely enslaved by Portuguese). He traces how the formation of Japaneseness has consistently required and depended on the categorization of others, particularly those colonized by the Japanese Empire (e.g. Koreans and Taiwanese) as well as those who have settled in contemporary Japan as refugees and immigrants. He calls for our renewed interests in the art to think about how the Japanese public as well as our own “gaze” may be destabilized by critically engaging with artworks.
On the discussion of the confrontation between Lamarckism and Mendelism in Russia (Novosibirsk Academgorodok, methodological seminars and social embedding of knowledge)
Authors: Storozhuk A. Yu.
Published: August 2024

The article aims at providing grounds for the analysis of the confrontation of scientific views in the context of E. Agassi’s famous thesis: “science is always socially engaged, but it should not be socially dependent”. This socio-epistemological analysis focuses on the clash between Lysenko’s interpretation of the Lamarckian methodology of H. Spencer’s views and representatives of the Russian school of classical Mendelian genetics. A distinctive feature of Akademgorodok in the 1970s-1980s was that almost every academic institute had a person responsible for organizing a specialized scientific-methodological seminar on philosophical and methodological problems of a particular field of knowledge. Recollections of the participants of these seminars and reconstruction of the issues discussed at that time are rich empirical material, providing an opportunity to test modern conceptions in the field of social anthropology, social epistemology, and sociology of science. The revival of genetics in our country began with the founding of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences/SB RAS. It is shown that this confrontation between Lamarckism and Mendelism in 1930s-1960s develops from the denial of the theses of the ideological opponents to the emergence of accompanying interdisciplinary research. At the same time, a special role is given to the specification of the methodological function of philosophy and to those forms of its realization that scientists personally participating in scientific-methodological seminars, were more inclined to associate with “substantive” rather than “sociological” aspects of the description of the situation.
The Social Cognitive Theory by Albert Bandura and its Implementation in Arabic Language Learning

Published: August 2024

Arabic language learning in Indonesia can experience significant improvement if, in its implementation, there is a role for learning models, reinforcement and motivation, information processing, and students' self-confidence when speaking Arabic. This research aims to analyze Bandura's social cognitive thinking and its implementation in the Arabic language context. This research approach is a descriptive qualitative analysis study with the type of library research. The main source of data comes from various documents in books and scientific articles. Data collection is carried out through documentation techniques, namely tracing data sources that have been written and sources that are directly related to the figures being researched, and analysis using the content analysis method. Test the validity of the data using the credibility test method (internal validity), transferability (external validity), dependability (reliability), and confirmability (objectivity). The results of the research show that Bandura's social cognitive theory can be applied in Arabic language learning by improving the presentation of material through hiwar, imitation of material that has been studied, habituation, creating a language environment, maximizing learning media, and increasing students' motivation to use Arabic on a daily basis. The advantages of implementing Bandura's social cognitive theory in learning Arabic are prioritizing maharah istima' and maharah kalam, using a variety of learning media, increasing learning motivation, and creating a conducive learning atmosphere. The weakness is that learning evaluation is only based on the results, not the process, and requires sufficient time and effort to implement. Bandura's social cognitive thinking made a major contribution to the Arabic language, namely in developing interactive language learning methods and media, improving Arabic language skills, and increasing learner motivation and self-confidence. From this research, further research can be developed related to the implementation of social cognition in different cultural contexts, its effectiveness, and how the environment influences Arabic language learners.
