Motalka, or Time in Chiasmus: Viktor Shklovsky’s “Revolutionary Choice of the Past”
Authors: Sandomirskaja Irina
Published: July 2023

An important part of Viktor Shklovsky’s legacy remains neglected by scholars of formalism and questioned for political reasons: his controversial critical and political interventions, as well as his work in propaganda on behalf of the Stalinist regime. Personal memories of Shkovsky and whatever is available in his publications from that period all convey a sense of compromising uncertainty. I am suggesting that his work during that period has special value, even though it arises from the shadow of a doubt that surrounds his private and public images as a Stalinist opportunist. Based on his earlier theoretical findings and his practical and critical competence in literature and film, Shklovsky found original analytical tools to reflect temporality, historical experience, and (Soviet) subjectivity under political violence. His profound critical revision of his early theoretical postulates in the light of historical experience gained during this controversial period is relevant nowadays.

Authors: Dmitriev Alexander
Published: July 2023

The article examines the multifaceted activity of Evgeny Polivanov, whose contribution to the formation of new linguistics and the formal method continues to provoke debate. The specificity of Polivanov’s main ideas and principles, in comparison with the mainstream formalists (Shklovsky, Tynianov) consisted in the reliance on the heritage of positivism (Baudouin, historian Kareev), supplemented by a kind of sociological and cultural “relationalism”.

Published: July 2023

The exploitation of the XIV horizon, in two slices, across the entire mining perimeter of the Slănic Prahova Salt Mine until the end of 2059 will result in the amplification of surface subsidence, already affected by the mining operations of Victoria, Cantacuzino, and Old Mines. Systematic annual monitoring of ground deformation has been conducted since 2004 through geometric leveling along selected representative alignments, which were utilized to forecast the temporal evolution of surface subsidence and the impact of mining the XIV horizon. Furthermore, 3D numerical modeling was employed to estimate the subsidence and ground displacements.

Published: July 2023

Travertines are susceptible to fracturing/ cracking, making it difficult to extract large uncracked blocks of significant commercial value. In our study, we used the GPR – Ground Penetrating Radar and other geophysical methods (resistivity and seismic methods) to evaluate the degree of fracturing. Following the interpretation of the longitudinal and transversal GPR profiles, corroborated with the resistivities minima, led us to identify fractures and highly fracturing areas in the Carpinis quarry. In addition, using these combined methodologies and corroborating geophysical, geological, tectonic and geomorphological information creates the premises for an effective investigation of Carpinis quarry, which assists with optimising the mining process.

Authors: Frantzova Antoaneta
Published: July 2023

The methodology of comprehensive risk assessment for natural disasters has been the subject of recent research. The risk assessment process is thoroughly explained and applied to geological hazards (such as landslides, earthquakes, and tsunamis) that have a potential for calamity. Obtaining a complicated risk level for a few geophysical and geological risks in northeast Bulgaria is the major goal. It has been done to clearly identify the many dangers, their effects, the elements at risk, exposure, and vulnerability, as well as to analyze the secondary events that were generated. For the first time in practice, a thorough risk assessment approach is used, and it incorporates the idea of risk perception. The methodology’s adaptability enables the presentation of the results as either a risk matrix or a risk profile. It depends on the tasks, challenges, and scientific puzzles that need to be solved as well as expert judgment. The outcome showed strong practical applicability and sustainability.

The use of cassava for fuel ethanol production in Nigeria is supported by the Nigerian Biofuel Policy and Incentives (NBPI) of 2007. Because of its food, feed and industrial value, the need to replace cassava with crops/plants that are food and feeds neutral has motivated this research. Starch was extracted from forest anchomanes (FA) (Anchomanes difformis (Bl.) ENGL.) tubers and some of its physicochemical and elemental properties were determined. At present, the plant is uncultivated in Nigeria and other parts of Africa where it is found. Results showed that the starch content in FA tubers varied from 72.12 to 75.83%. Starch granules from all parts of the FA tubers had similar proximate, antinutrients and elemental properties and appeared usable for fuel ethanol production. However, to suggest its potential to sustainably replace cassava, further investigations are needed beyond these initial results.

Published: July 2023

Perishable fresh vegetables that do not meet cosmetic standards and other crop waste rich resources are presently wasted. Mangifera indica leaves, Psidium guajava leaves, Petroselinum crispum leaves and Daucus carota were selected as model vegetables to show that they can be converted into a shelf-stable novel functional powdered product. A novel functional product from a blend of these powdered vegetables (FPPV) was formulated. To evaluate the shelf-life of FPPV. The novel functional product from a blend of powdered vegetables (FPPV) was prepared in the Food Science and Nutrition laboratory, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, India. The samples were subjected to accelerated stability study maintaining temperature and relative humidity 40°C ± 2°C and 75% ± 5% respectively. Organoleptic, physico‑chemical and microbiological properties of FPPV was analyzed at an interval of 0, 1, 3 and 6 months to check the degradation levels in the formulation. Organoleptic characters showed no significant changes in accelerated stability condition. There were insignificant changes in physico-chemical profiles and product was free from microbial contamination at different intervals of analysis. On extrapolation of the observations the shelf-life of FPPV was found to be 51 months (4 years and 3 months) for climatic zone I & II countries and 34 months (2 years and 10 months) for climatic zone III & IV countries, respectively. The conversion of perishable vegetables and crop wastes into shelf-stable functional food products will reduce food loss and waste in the vegetable industry.

Authors: Timilsina Sandip , Khanal Asmita , Vista Shree Prasad
Published: July 2023

Rice is the most important staple food crop and plays a vital role in ensuring national food security in Nepal. Rice yield is largely determined by nitrogen management strategy and improving the effectiveness of nitrogenous fertilizer for grain production has long been a challenge. A field experiment was conducted in the sandy loam soil of Lumle, Kaski, Nepal in 2019 and 2020 to assess the effect of neem oil-coated urea (NCU) and common urea (CU) with varying levels of nitrogen (N) on rice yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The experiment with 7 treatments comprising the combinations of two types of nitrogen source (CU and NCU), three N levels (50, 100, and 150 kg/ha) and one control treatment without N, were allocated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Increased nitrogen rates up to 100 kg/ha supplied through NCU significantly improved grain yield, yield components, and nitrogen use efficiency of rice. Application of NCU reduced nitrogen fertilizer use by up to 33 % while producing maximum yield and significantly increased agronomic nitrogen use efficiency (ANUE) and nitrogen partial factor productivity (NPFP) compared with CU. This suggests that the use of NCU with an optimum rate can be a viable option for appropriate N management in rice production.

Authors: Albert Enow , Bille Ngalle , Leonard Ngonkeu
Published: July 2023

Within the last decade and a half, ConvNet models have shown increasingly impressive performances on image classification tasks. The continuous quest for better performing ConvNet models is of great importance in that it provides an avenue for the development of superior models which would serve to improve many much-needed services to humankind in domains such as crop pest and disease detection. This paper proposes a feature extraction ConvNet, called Detection, with aim to improve plant disease recognition. Detection contains four convolutional layers, four batch normalization layers and two max-pooling layers. For reference, its plant disease recognition performance was compared with the feature extraction layers for AlexNet, LeNet-5, ZFNet and VGGNet on four datasets from PlantVillage: bacterial spot disease (bell pepper), late blight disease (tomato), leaf mold disease (tomato) and yellow leaf curl disease (tomato). Prior to ablation testing, it achieved the second-highest overall classification accuracy over all four disease recognition datasets (65.50%) after AlexNet (84.33%). However, ablation tests revealed that the removal of the second convolutional layer from the network resulted in a 24.08% increase in overall accuracy on all four disease recognition datasets, up from 65.50% accuracy without the ablation. This surpassed AlexNet's overall accuracy on all four disease recognition datasets (84.33%) by 5.25%. Also, the removal of the second pooling layer from the network resulted in a 23.33% increase in overall accuracy on all four disease recognition datasets, up from 65.50% accuracy without the ablation. This also surpassed AlexNet's overall accuracy on all four disease recognition datasets (84.33%) by 4.40%. The results suggest that the proposed feature extraction ConvNet is a performant method for plant disease recognition.

Authors: Atu Setiati  , Aziz Muslim  , Farhana Sabri
Published: July 2023

Female circumcision remains a social issue in Muslim society, along with the rise of gender-based violence cases in Indonesia. It has became rather a polemic after regional policy on that matter was issued inconsistently. This study aimed to determine the polemic of female circumcision in Garut Regency based on cultural and regional policy analysis. The study utilized qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The data taken were based on primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques used were interviews and literature that supports the research. The results obtained in this study are that the polemic about female circumcision occurs because of differences in views based on fatwa so that society constructs female circumcision subjectively. Differences in the belief in the concept of female circumcision, which has become a culture in society, and the different techniques or processes for implementing female circumcision have resulted in the development of perceptions of female circumcision. The inconsistency of the policies of the Minister of Health Regulations makes the community have a bias towards pros and cons by the paradigm of religious leaders, parents, gender activists, and health workers.

Published: July 2023

In Indonesia, da’wah activities have been implemented in various ways, including mountaineering. However, data showed that many mountain hikers in Indonesia had been seriously injured (even died) due to a lack of knowledge and preparation for hiking. This article aimed to analyze the goals of mountain hiking and fulfilling the reproductive health conducted by Pendaki Hijabers community members. The authors used a phenomenological approach with a descriptive-analytical type of qualitative research. The research was conducted at Mount Merapi and Prau Dieng, Indonesia, from 2019 until 2020 with 25 informants. The data were analyzed using Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and Maqāşid al-Syarī'ah theory. The results showed that the goals of Pendaki Hijabers community activities varied, such as meditation on nature, exploration of nature verses ‘āyāt kauniyah’, da’wah through mountaineering, deepening mountaineering skills, eliminating negative stereotypes of hijab, ideological deconstruction of society through the hijab, and fighting developmentalism through social service, sport, education, and religious activities. Based on the CEDAW review, mountaineering for women, on the one hand, had a positive impact on psychology because it can eliminate double burden concepts and negative stereotypes for women. On the other hand, mountain hiking has a potential negative impact on women's reproductive health because luggage is too heavy, hiking during menstruation, and consumption of food and drinks that are not ideal. Based on the Maqāşid al-Syarī'ah review, mountaineering activities supported ḥifẓ dīn ‘safeguarding the religion’ because they are oriented towards the da’wah of Islam. But, mountaineering that does not pay attention to aspects of reproductive health potentially harms the goals of sharia in the form of ḥifẓ nafs ‘safeguarding the soul’ and ḥifẓ nasal ‘safeguarding offspring’.
The Uniqueness of Culture: Acculturation between Religion and Local Culture on Indonesian Sumenep Batik Motifs
Authors: Lulus Sugeng Triandika
Published: July 2023

Sumenep Batik has characteristics such as asymmetrical motifs and colors that reflect natural representations. Generally, figures of plants, animals, and acculturation inspire the creation of batik motifs. However, the inspiration for the motifs of the Sumenep Batik is strongly influenced by the acculturation between religious values and local culture. The pattern of motifs is considered a form of cultural communication with Sumenep Batik as the medium. This article aimed to discover the meaning of the motifs from the perspective of religion and local culture acculturation because studies on the motifs of Sumenep Batik still need to be made available. Economic and human resource aspects dominate Sumenep Batik's research. The method used is descriptive qualitative, collecting data through observation, literature review, and interviews with Madurese Batik artisans, entrepreneurs, and cultural observers. The summary of the information is then analyzed using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory. The result is that there has been a process of cultural acculturation -starting from the 13th century- as evidenced by the existence of five elements of cultural acculturation in the pattern of Sumenep Batik motifs. Starting from the influence of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom, then the Islamic sultanate, the influence of Chinese culture, then the influence of coastal culture, and finally, the influence of religious elements that influence the motifs of Sumenep Batik. Based on the semiotic analysis, the pattern of batik motifs originating from plant parts influences the implementation of Islamic religiosity elements. In Islamic rules, it is forbidden to depict creatures that have souls. Besides that, the combination of plants and orange color also describes the warmth and happiness expected to always exist in the people of Sumenep Madura.

Published: July 2023

The study of sports injuries is a crucial and captivating topic that requires thorough exploration. Understanding and effectively managing sports injuries is essential for coaches, instructors, and athletes. However, there is limited awareness among sports practitioners, particularly regarding flat foot conditions. Therefore, this research aims to identify common injuries among athletes with flat feet through a comprehensive survey. Employing a quantitative descriptive method with a survey-based approach. This study included a sample of 89 male athletes who sought treatment for sports-related injuries at massage clinics. Data collection techniques encompassed observations, interviews, questionnaires, and measurement tests. Purposive sampling was utilised for participant selection. Wet footprint tests, stature metres, weight scales, and questionnaires were employed for data collection. Data analysis employed the percentage formula and was supported by Excel software. The findings indicated that athletes with flat feet were more susceptible to knee injuries (69%), ankle injuries (31%), external causes of injury (22%), internal causes of injury (52%), and overuse injuries (26%). These results imply that athletes with flat feet who seek treatment at massage clinics commonly experience knee and ankle injuries, with internal trauma being the leading cause. This study contributes to a better understanding of injury identification among individuals with flat feet, aiding in the selection of appropriate sports activities. Limitations of this study include a single research site, an uneven distribution of sports disciplines, and a male-only sample. Future research should employ more comprehensive methods and ensure representative samples across various sports to facilitate proper generalisation of the data.
Pressure-point-garments: haptic stimulation of the body enabled through a fashionable 3D-textile interface
Authors: Almendariz Dominique , Nielsen Nikolaj Munk , Deschl Laura
Published: July 2023

Developments in textile and fiber engineering have allowed the development of functional clothing such as protective wear, sportswear, and medical clothing. Stimulating pressure points on the skin has a wide range of applications in manual therapy – both to eliminate functional disorders in the musculoskeletal system and to relieve pain. An acupressure-like effect can be achieved when the practitioner or the person pressures the skin with the thumb on specific pressure-points on the body. So far, there have not been any product solutions which combine (full)-body garments with an acupressure-like effect. Understanding textiles as a grid which holds pressure balls in place and making use of fiber and textile technologies for industrial knitting has enabled “trykk.” to develop four pressure-point-garments with different textile variables. The purpose of the garment is to substitute the mechanical stimulation of the acupressure-like thumb on the skin through a patent-pending 3-dimensional textile-body interface which consists of a flexible textile grid and small marble-sized semi-precious stone balls. This paper describes a study set-up where the four prototypes in five different haptic use-scenarios are compared to the average force applied in an acupressure-like intervention. Besides, data of the likeability (satisfaction) regarding the four distinctive textiles were obtained. Results demonstrated a comparable performance of the prototypes in four out of five use case scenarios. Textile variables significantly altered users’ interest in the garments, yet had no significant effect on the technical performance and the perceived intensity of stimulation.

Published: July 2023

The high speed (4D) body scanning provides technical possibility for accurate measurements of the body geometry and can be applied not only for moving objects, but as well for evaluating the changes of static geometry with time. This information is important for compression socks, because it provides data regarding the relaxation processes of the textile product and of the human leg. In this work, changes of the body geometry after 1 and 4 hours with compression socks are investigated. Up to 9% changes of the cross section areas and up to 5.5% of changes of the circumference between the position at the starting point and after 4 hours are detected. Additionally the differences between the both legs of the investigated person and of the different (upper- and bottom) part of the leg are observed. It is the first step to the digitalization of the personal compression stocking design.

Authors: Rudenko A.I.
Published: July 2023

Within the framework of the linear theory of small potential oscillations the article studies the structure and characteristics of internal and surface waves in a two-layer stably stratified fluid. Dispersion relations have been obtained and analyzed. The Boussinesq approximation has been studied. We have determined the existence of two types of waves: a fast wave and a slow wave. The fast wave differs little from a surface wave in a homogeneous fluid. The main results of studying the case of n=1 are as follows: obtaining expressions for fluid particles velocity components and hydrodynamic pressure in the upper layer of the considered two-layer fluid, as well as obtaining relations, which connect the oscillation amplitudes of the free surface and the interface of the considered two-layer fluid. The main results of studying the case of n=2 are as follows: obtaining expressions for fluid particles velocity components and hydrodynamic pressure in the lower layer of the considered two-layer fluid, as well as obtaining dispersion relations in the considered two-layer fluid. In the case of implementing the Boussinesq approximation, the fast wave differs little from a surface wave in a homogeneous fluid, andthe velocity of slow waves is proportional to the square root of the squared ratio ρ/Δρ​, i.e. it is very small.

This methodology finds widespread application in database design and information filtering tasks. The study compares this algorithm with various approaches used in well-known database servers. The research findings confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method and its advantages over alternative approaches. It enables faster execution of sorting operations and computation of key bounds, which are critical for the efficient functioning of databases and processing large volumes of information. Therefore, the presented algorithm holds significant practical relevance and can serve as a valuable tool in the development and optimization of databases, as well as in other tasks related to information processing and filtering.
