Authors: Çirka Mustafa , Tunçtürk Rüveyde , Kulaz Haluk , Tunçtürk Murat
Published: July 2022

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that affect plant cell metabolism and reduce plant productivity. In the study, some growth and biochemical characteristics of two different types of dwarf and lantern beans were investigated. The study was carried out in an aeroponic environment in a fully controlled climate room with 6 repetitions according to a completely randomized experimental design. In the experiment where two bean types (dwarf and pole types) were used as material, four different salt doses (0, 25, 50, 100 mM NaCl) were used for the salt stress conditions desired to be created. In the study, root length, seedling length, seedling fresh and dry weight, root fresh and dry weights, and leaf area were measured as some growth parameters, while MDA, APX, CAT, SOD activities, and proline and chlorophyll content were observed as biochemical parameters.For both genotypes, salinity induced a marked reduction in growth parameters. In parallel with the aggravation of salinity stress conditions, an increase in MDA, SOD, and proline content occurred. In the other investigated biochemical enzyme activities (APX and CAT), there was an increase up to a certain dose compared to the control and a decrease in the subsequent doses. Additionally, it has been determined that chlorophyll content is stable until the third dose but a significant decrease started after the fourth salt application. These results show that there has been a significant increase in enzymatic defense systems to reduce the effects of salt-induced stress in beans, and it has been observed that dwarf and pole bean types show close responses to salt stress.

Published: July 2022

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of Agaricus bisporus spent mushroom substrate (A-SMS) enriched with selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) on the yield and photosynthetic parameters of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. capitata) of the ‘Skindel’ cultivar. The growing medium for the cultivation of lettuce consisted of A-SMS (10%) and commercial peat (90%). It was further enriched with Se and Zn concentrated at five levels, i.e. 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mmol·L–1 to obtain six growing medias. Se was added to the growing medium in the form of sodium selenite and sodium selenate at a 1:1 ratio, whereas Zn was added in the form of zinc nitrate hexahydrate. Lettuce was grown under controlled conditions in growth chambers. The experiment was conducted in a randomised complete block design in three replicates. The results indicated that the A-SMS added to the growing medium increased both the yield of lettuce and its biological value by increasing the content of Se and Zn. Consumable percent recommended daily allowance and safe hazard quotient for lettuce biofortified with Se and Zn were achieved. The experiment also showed that the addition of Se + Zn did not negatively affect photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, which proved that these elements did not have toxic effect on lettuce in agronomic perspective.
Orthodontic extraction practices: a cross-sectional survey of orthodontists in Australia
Authors: Meade Maurice J. , Dreyer Craig W.
Published: July 2022

Objective

To survey Australian-based orthodontists regarding their opinions on their extraction practices.

Method

A pilot-tested electronic-questionnaire was distributed to 465 members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Questions pertained to their demographic details, current extraction rates, changes in prescribed orthodontic extraction patterns over the past 5 to 10 years and the factors that may have influenced decisions.

Results

A response rate of 35.05% was recorded. Orthodontists estimated that they extracted permanent teeth in 21.03% and 22.06% of recently treated adults and children/adolescents presenting with a Class I malocclusion. Respondents were less comfortable carrying out non-extraction treatment in child/adolescent patients (15.4%) than in adult patients (34.7%) when crowding was greater than 6 mm. Most orthodontists (55.89%) who had practiced for more than 5 years believed that the number of patients that were treated by extractions was unchanged over the past 5 to 10 years while 34.55% believed that the proportion had decreased. More experienced orthodontists tended to report increased rather than decreased extraction rates (p = 0.0102). Most of those (88.1–93.17%) who reported decreased extraction rates considered facial aesthetics had a moderate/major influence on their extraction decisions. The increased use of ‘combined’ interproximal reduction (IPR) and arch lengthening in children/adolescents (55.8%) and IPR in adults (85%) was reported by those whose extraction rates had decreased.

Conclusions

Orthodontists extracted permanent teeth in just over 20% of their patients who presented with a Class I malocclusion. Most orthodontists considered that their extraction rates had not changed over the past 5 to 10 years. The increased use of IPR with or without arch lengthening procedures, was reported by those whose extraction rates had decreased over the same time period.
The applicability of the Tanaka and Johnston analysis in a contemporary Western Australian population
Authors: Abaid Sidra , Zafar Sobia , Kruger Estie , Tennant Marc
Published: July 2022

Background/Objective

The Tanaka and Johnston mixed dentition analysis is a widely used method to predict the size of unerupted permanent canines and premolars. The aim of the present study was to determine the applicability of the Tanaka and Johnston analysis to Western Australian adolescents and develop a new regression equation.

Methods

Five hundred participants (323 females, 177 males) meeting the inclusion criteria were selected from private orthodontic clinics. The mesiodistal dimensions of all permanent teeth were retrieved from pre-orthodontic treatment digital dental records using Invisalign® technology (Invisalign®, Align Technology, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and analysed using a predicted value derived from the Tanaka and Johnston analysis. Correlation and linear regression analyses were applied to develop new regression equations.

Result

A significant difference was found between the actual and predicted values derived from the Tanaka and Johnston analysis. A significant correlation was observed between the sum of the permanent mandibular incisors and the sum of the maxillary and mandibular canine and premolars (0.58–0.74). New regression equations and tables were derived from the study population.

Conclusion

The Tanaka and Johnston analysis overestimated the mesiodistal dimensions of permanent canines and premolars. The developed regression equation and tables may be used for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in Western Australian adolescents.

Published: July 2022

Objectives

To investigate the current commercially available clear aligners related to brands, companies, Google trends, and marketing claims presented on their official websites.

Materials and methods

A search was conducted in October 2020 to identify the relevant web-based information, using three languages (English, Chinese, and Korean) and search terms “clear aligner”, , , and in four search engines (Google, Bing, Baidu, and Naver) to identify current clear aligner companies. Each company website was reviewed and assessed for its marketing claims.

Results

A total of 75 clear aligner brands were identified and included in the study, and 280 claims from their official websites were analysed. Most (70.7%) of the companies made claims regarding “aesthetics”, 66.7% made claims regarding “increased comfort”, 58.7% made claims regarding “shorter treatment time”, and 56.0% of the companies made claims regarding “superior material”. Other claims were made regarding their “novel technology”, “superior hygiene”, “tracking Apps”, “remote monitoring”, and “reduced in-office visits”. Of these marketing claims, only 4.5% cited references supporting the company’s website claims; however, the references were mainly derived from internal company research.

Conclusions

Using three languages (English, Chinese, and Korean), 75 different brands of clear aligners were currently found online. Most of the marketing claims from the clear aligner companies’ official websites were not referenced to quality scientific studies. Clinicians and patients should critically appraise the content of company claims and advertisements.
Cerebral microbleeds in a young patient – case presentation with rare disease association and literature review

Published: July 2022

During the coronavirus pandemic neurology departments were forced to treat diseases that had hitherto been treated by other specialities. In our case presentation, we describe an unusual association of two diseases that raised interesting questions regarding differential diagnostics and has not yet been presented in the literature.

A 34-year-old male patient was admitted to the neurology department with an urgent referral because of impaired speech comprehension and expression upon awakening. He had a history of anticoagulant therapy for thrombosis of the posterior tibial artery, discontinued after two weeks. Physical examination revealed a 1 cm diameter painful lump in the subcutis of his right thigh and a systolic murmur over the mitral and aortic valves. Nonenhanced head CT showed a small hemorrhage near the occipital horn of the left ventricle, which could not explain the mixed aphasia. In addition, the SWAN MRI sequence showed supra- and infratentorial microbleeds, suggesting cavernomatosis, which was confirmed by the detection of another typical popcorn-like bleeding cavernoma on repeated MRI examination. Due to the heart murmurs and positive inflammatory markers, a detailed cardiac examination was warranted, confirming infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus gordonii. Due to COVID-19-related regulations the patient couldn’t be transferred to the Department of Cardiology or Infectious Diseases, thus his treatment and follow-up was carried out at the Department of Neurology. Following targeted antibiotic treatment the patient’s symptoms resolved and he underwent successful cardiac surgery 7 weeks after his discharge in a symptom-free state.

The peculiarity of the case lies in the fact that the clinical picture and course of the disease, consistent with the diagnosis of infective endocarditis suggested cerebral septic emboli with microbleeds, but cerebral cavernomatosis was confirmed by brain imaging.
Estimating of Additive, Dominance, and Epistatic Genetic Variance in Eucalypt Hybrid Population
Authors: Garel Makouanzi Ekomono Chrissy , Philippe Vigneron
Published: July 2022

Additive, dominance and epistasis genetic variances were estimated from analysis of a clonally replicated full-sib progeny test grown in the Republic of Congo. Phenotypic variance components were estimated for ages 4 through 25 months for growth and at ages 8 and 18 months for ecophysiological traits. The estimation of genetics effects was derived from the individual mixed model. Genetic structure was incorporated into variances and covariance’s effects based on markers information. The detected genetic effects of epistasis are significant in some traits. This study shows that epistasis variance can be non-zero and contribute significantly to the genetic variability of growth and ecophysiological traits. We conclude that the epistatic effect for quantitative traits may exist, but estimates may not be obtained, either because the models used are inappropriate or because the epistasis variance is too small relative to other components of the genetic variance to be estimated.
Algorithms’ Influence on Human Artistic Creativity
Authors: Herman Laura M.
Published: July 2022

In this doctoral research programme, I propose a set of three thematic research projects to investigate the influence of algorithmic curation on artists’ creative processes and viewers’ subsequent creative perception. In the context of the burgeoning “creator economy,” I first review evidence of algorithmic impact on creator’s outputs. Considering the role of process in creative output evaluation, I bring an embodied, situated perspective to online creativity. Based on these discussions, I propose three research streams: first, I tease apart the consid-eration of process from the consideration of embodiment, asking how each (process & embodiment) influence creative perception in the context of algo-rithm-made versus human-made art. In this workstream, I also consider the im-pact of the art viewer’s embodiment (physical versus digital). Next, I construct an algorithmically-curated website of visual images which controls information about the artist, their process, and their output, using the website as an experi-mental sandbox to interrogate the role of these variables in online creative per-ception. Finally, I supplement these findings through ethnography with artists and curators, examining the role of algorithmic considerations in their process. Simultaneously, I prompt artists to imagine the possibility of a co-designed algo-rithm that prioritizes creativity over existing metrics for engagement.
Datox
Authors: Ferreira Pedro
Published: July 2022

Datox explores the imperceptible electromagnetic radiation generated by elec- tronics and digital technologies as sonic material. The work is a music album and a live performance that creates an audiovisual environment that explores sonic possibilities through the amplification of imperceptible sounds. This aims to highlight a material layer that comes before data, the electricity that powers electronic devices. The music album and performance immerse the listener in a sonic environment of non-human agency, the electricity and its voltage differences at the circuitry level of computational devices. The work exposes the dependency of computational societies on energy production from non-re- newable sources such as coal that contribute to environmental pollution and the climate crisis.
Anastatica: a Musical Experience for Algorithm, Live Coder, and Audience
Authors: Kreković Gordan , Pošćić Antonio
Published: July 2022

Anastatica is a musical experience for musician, algorithm, and audience that combines performative elements with the characteristics of an installation. It ex- plores, in real time, the relationship between human performers and generative algorithms, allowing them to interact constructively or destructively using the same language and influenced by non-deterministic factors. Each performance is thus laced with randomness. Through this interplay of acousmatic, aleatoric live coding, the piece questions the nature of artificial intelligence’s involvement in modern society and the illusion of choice in the digital age.
Interactive Research Artifacts as Creative Tools for Knowledge Creation
Authors: Curtis Amanda N.
Published: July 2022

In my doctoral programme, I aim to lay the foundations for understanding the novel impacts of interactive technologies on knowledge creation in the digital age. Specifically, I propose an ethnographic approach to understand current scholars’ conceptualizations of “interactive research artifacts.” Through this process, I will propose a definition and set of criteria for these artifacts that en- compasses the dynamic ways these technologies transform knowledge creation practices. I will consider these artifact creation practices to be creative in nature, and as such, will draw on Design Studies and work on digital creativity to bridge computation, knowledge creation, and communications literature. I will begin with a pilot conference where scholars of all disciplines will be invited to share and discuss interactive research artifacts they have created. From there, I will use ethnographically-informed case studies to explore scholars’ lived experi- ences with these artifacts. Based off these findings, I will propose a conceptu- alization of interactive research artifacts and initial design considerations. These will be examined and remoulded in co-design workshops, where, with more scholars, we will co-create design guidelines for the future creation of interac- tive research artifacts. To design for a future where interactive research artifacts become commonly used scholarly tools, an in-depth understanding of the ways these artifacts are used as knowledge creation tools is critical.

Published: July 2022

Produk daging olahan adalah salah satu jenis pangan yang mudah mengalami kerusakan. Kerusakan pada produk daging olahan diakibatkan karena adanya pertumbuhan mikroorganisme. Menanggulangi hal tersebut, perusahaan pengolahan daging banyak menambahkan bahan tambahan pangan (BTP) yaitu natrium nitrit (NaNO2). Akumulasi nitrit yang berlebih dalam tubuh dapat menimbulkan efek yang merugikan pada sistem reproduksi. Penelitian oleh Pavlova et al. (2017) menemukan terjadi penurunan berat epididimis dan pengurangan jumlah spermatoa tikus yang diberi paparan NaNO2 tinggi. Rumput laut Eucheuma cottoni mengandung antioksidan yang dapat menetralkan sifat oksidatif yang ditimbulkan oleh NaNO2. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak rumput laut Eucheuma cottoni terhadap kadar Malondialdehid (MDA) dan spermatozoa pada tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus L.) jantan yang diinduksi NaNO2. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari kontrol negatif (K-), kontrol positif (K+), perlakuan dosis 1 (P1), perlakuan dosis 2 (P2) dan perlakuan 3 (P3).  Kontrol negatif (K-) diberikan aquades sedangkan kontrol positif diberikan natrium nitrit dosis 22,5 mg/kg BB. Perlakuan dosis 1,2 dan 3 diberikan metode kombinasi natrium nitrit dan ekstrak rumput laut dosis 150 mg/kgBB/hari (P1), 300 mg/kgBB/hari (P2), dan 450 mg/kgBB/hari (P3). Pemberian perlakuan dilakukan selama 45 hari. Adapun variabel penelitian terdiri dari kadar MDA (Malondialdehid) pada serum dan kualitas spermatozoa meliputi integritas membran, viabilitas, motilitas dan morfologi spermatozoa dari tikus putih jantan. Analisis data dilakukan melalui uji statistik One Way Anova dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ekstrak rumput laut dosis 150 mg/kgBB mampu menurunkan kadar MDA (Malondialdehid), meningkatkan motilitas, viabilitas, integritas membran dan morfologi spermatozoa secara signifikan.

Published: July 2022

This study compared the forage quality of Cajanus cajan, Stylosanthes mucronata, Tephrosia purpurea, and Securinega virosa in the savanna ecological zone of Ghana. The shrubs were cultivated using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and their growth were monitored. Leaf samples were hand-harvested at 7, 10, and 13 weeks after establishment, air-dried, pulverised, and used for laboratory analysis. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), and Magnesium (Mg) were determined. N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents among the shrubs ranged from 0.74 - 0.79%, 1.32 - 1.99%, 7.63 - 10.09%, 2.22 - 3.06 and 1.08 - 1.38%, respectively. Stylosanthes mucronata was significantly lowest in both P (1.318%) and K (7.63%), whilst Securinega virosa was significantly highest in K (10.09%). Among the three maturity levels, N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents ranged from 0.31 – 1.05%, 1.51 - 1.93%, 7.46 - 10.43%, 2.63 - 2.67% and 1.28 - 1.30%, respectively. Except for P, which was significantly lowest at 10 weeks after establishment (WAE), N and K were significantly highest at 7 WAE and lowest at 10 and 13 WAE, respectively. It was observed that the shrub species and maturity levels influence the nutrient content of forage shrubs.

Published: July 2022

Row planting is one of the technologies introduced in Ethiopia to improve production and productivity of the major crops. However, the rate of adopting the technology decline from time to time. Thus, this study aims to identify factors affecting adoption level and intensity use of Teff row planting technology in the selected districts of North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. Multi-stage random sampling techniques were used to select 400 respondents. Adoption index, independent sample mean t-test, chi-square test and double hurdle model were used for data analysis. The results of adoption index reveals that among 400 sample households, 79.8% was non-adopter while 20.2% were adopter of Teff row planting technology. A total of 10 variables were hypothesized to affect the adoption level and intensity use of Teff row planting technology in the study area. Among these, 6 variables had significant effect on adoption level of Teff row planting technology while 4 variables had significant effect on the intensity use of Teff row planting technology. Accordingly, the experience of household in Teff production, education level of household head, family size, extension contact, credit utilization and demonstration site visit had positive and significant effect on the adoption level of Teff row planting technology adoption at 1, 1, 5, 1, 1 and 1% significance level respectively. Moreover, family size, education level of household head, frequency of extension contacts and demonstration site visit had positive and significant effect on the intensity use of Teff row planting technology at 10, 1, 1 and 1% significant level respectively. Hence, in order to increase the households’ adoption level and intensity use of Teff row planting technology in the study area, strengthening the extension services, improving the education level of the households, strengthening the credit services and expanding the demonstration site should be the focus area of the policy makers.
Functioning of inquiry and investigation units in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia
Authors: Fadeev Ilya Aleksandrovich
Published: July 2022

This article provides a brief overview of the experience of the functioning of two parallel investigative apparatuses in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia: investigation and inquiry. The author convincingly proves that in the course of the development and improvement of pre-trial proceedings in the country, individual reformers have repeatedly attempted to completely eliminate the inquiry as an independent form of preliminary investigation, which, however, did not happen due to a number of reasons. The article also focuses the attention on the imperfection of the normative legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which, according to its author, need deep scientific understanding and updating against the background of new emerging threats from the criminal world. That is why the place and role of the bodies of inquiry functioning in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in parallel with the investigative authorities need to be clarified. Discussions on the subject of elimination and preliminary investigation do not cease, and in the context not so much of the creation of a single (non-departmental) investigative committee in its completed form, as in the framework of a strategy focused on the complete deformation (deprocessualization) of pre-trial proceedings in criminal cases as a whole. In any case, the realigners of modern criminal procedure legislation and the practice of its application should bear in mind that such metamorphoses of the stages of initiation of a criminal case and preliminary investigation will inevitably entail the most serious transformations in the judicial stages, for which not only representatives of the executive and judicial branches of the federal government, but also the reformers themselves, are absolutely not ready.
Turkey and Central Asia during the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Avatkov Vladimir Alekseevich , Prilepsky Pavel Aleksandrovich
Published: July 2022

The coronavirus pandemic has become a classic "black swan" and has made significant adjustments to international relations. The Republic of Turkey, considering the Central Asian region (CA) as an important direction of its foreign policy, also faced the need to respond to the challenges of the pandemic. Based on this, the subject of this article is the relations between Turkey and the Central Asian countries after the outbreak of the pandemic, as well as the identification of new foreign policy tools that Turkey has used in practice to adapt its course in Central Asia. The purpose of the study was to analyze the results of Turkish policy in the region during the designated period. Based on the review of the array of factual data, a new direction of Turkish policy towards the Central Asian countries is indicated – the promotion of the symbolic capital of the victory of the "Turkic world" in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh in the autumn of 2020, as well as the attempts being made to consolidate on this basis. The analysis of cases that, according to the authors, may affect relations between Turkey and some countries of the region in the medium term is carried out. The conclusion is made about the short-term growth of Turkey's influence in the region and the potential interest of the Turks in the growth of instability in Central Asia, which the Turks are trying to use to maximize their course and discredit other external actors.
Negative transformations of the image of a doctor in the literature of A.P. Chekhov
Authors: Ding Yihong
Published: July 2022

The object of the study is the images of doctors in the works of A.P. Chekhov from the point of view of the dynamics of their personal qualities. The subject of the study is the nature of these changes, which in most cases are negative for the writer for the professional and personal level of the doctor. The purpose of the article is to describe the phenomenon of personal degradation of a doctor in the literature of A.P. Chekhov: the novels "Ionich", "Belated Flowers", the plays "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters". The study was conducted using descriptive, cultural-historical, historical-typological methods, which allowed a comprehensive approach to the problem under study and noted the various features of the personality of doctors in the writer's work in dynamics. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that the degradation of doctors in these works has been revealed. In the story "Ionich", the vulgar, philistine life slowly but inexorably sucks in the main character, Dr. Startsev. Toporkov in the "Flowers of the Belated" sought to get out of poverty, earn as much as possible, but he was powerless in front of greed and became indifferent to people. Astrov in "Uncle Vanya", under the influence of the surrounding county life, became indifferent to people, he does not love anyone, does not want anything. But at the same time, he plants forests, believes that they have a great beneficial effect on people's lives, he utters high words about a person. Abstract love for humanity and indifference to the people who are with him coexist in his soul. The philosophy of doctor Chebutykin in "Three Sisters" is of great importance for understanding the play. It is concluded that the degraded person in the works of A.P. Chekhov is usually a doctor, with the help of whose image the writer seeks to create a contrast between the noble mission of the doctor and his personality.
Linguistic interpretation of "ugliness" of the characters of Russian and Chinese fairy tales
Authors: Zhou Yujie
Published: July 2022

The article examines the interpretation of the concept of the ugliness of the external appearance of the characters of the Russian and Chinese fairy tales; analyzes and compares the similarities and differences of the named concept in different linguistic pictures of the world. Ugliness is considered as a basic universal concept of the aesthetic category inherent in the utilitarian and spiritual needs of people of different nationalities. The object of the study is the concept of ugliness in the linguistic picture of the world, reflected in a fairy tale. The subject of the study was the attributive means characterizing the characters of Russian and Chinese fairy tales; the creation of a semantic classification of representative lexemes, their cultural meanings and connotations. Classical conceptual analysis, which includes etymological, definitional, semantic, comparative types of analysis of key adjectives representing the concept of ugliness, is chosen as methods of practical research. The main conclusions of the conducted linguistic research are that the etymological analysis of the concept of ugliness allowed us to identify the following lexical and semantic groups of adjectives united by the theme "ugliness": ugliness as unattractiveness, ugliness as old age, ugliness as weakness. Based on the analysis of adjectives, it is concluded that the content of the Russian and Chinese concepts of ugliness essentially coincides, but as a result of the influence of national cultures has specific features. Consideration of the concept of "ugliness" in fairy tales in a comparative aspect makes it possible to identify national specifics reflected in the folklore picture of the world. And the novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt was made to analyze the concept of "ugliness" using the material of Russian and Chinese fairy tales. The results of the analysis can be used to study the national folklore and linguistic worldviews of the two peoples.
Development of an Aeromechanics Solver for Loads and Stability of Hingeless Tiltrotors
Authors: Gul Seyhan , Datta Anubhav
Published: July 2022

This paper presents a comprehensive prediction and validation of hingeless hub tiltrotor loads and stability. Compared to their present-day gimbaled hub counterparts, there is less understanding of hingeless hub tiltrotors. A new aeromechanics solver was developed at the University of Maryland for predictions of performance, loads, and aeroelastic stability of these proprotors. The solver was verified with U.S. Army results for a hypothetical rotor and validated with the only full-scale test data available: the Boeing Model 222 tests at the NASA Ames [Formula: see text] wind tunnel in 1972. The predictions showed satisfactory agreement with the U.S. Army results. Some discrepancies were observed with the limited Boeing test data. An exploration was then carried out over a wider envelope to discover the unique flutter characteristics of these hubs. The principal conclusion is that their behavior is very different from gimbaled hubs, and higher speeds might be achieved in cruise if higher loads can be absorbed in transition. There appears to be a wealth of physics waiting to be discovered through systematic wind tunnel tests and analysis in the future.

A Critical Review of Hybrid Warfare
Authors:   Korea International Law Review, Oh Si Jin
Published: July 2022

How should we understand hybrid warfare, which has recently been attracting attention, in international law? Until recently, war, in terms of international law, was relatively clear. The initiation of the war could also be visually confirmed, the performers of the war were also the state, and the method of war was based on traditional military conflict. However, the appearance of the battlefield in the 21st century is different from the past. It has come to a point where it is no longer possible to say that only physical armed conflict is the only form of war. Hybrid warfare is at the center of the discourse about the emergence of a new form of warfare. When Russia annexed Crimea through a hybrid warfare in 2014, the international community paid attention to this new idea. From the perspective of international law, hybrid warfare is problematic. This is because hybrid warfare has a so-called gray zone, which is difficult for opposing countries or the international community to respond immediately. Therefore, there are areas that are difficult to approach with traditional armed conflict law or international humanitarian law. Some even argue that the rules of international law in wartime become meaningless. However, there are some points to consider whether this approach is really valid. Is international law useless in hybrid warfare? Based on previous studies related to hybrid warfare, there are parts that need to be critically considered on hybrid warfare and its discourse itself. First, there are parts that need to be separated from the existing discourses and narratives about hybrid warfare. Unlike conventional discourse, it is difficult to say that hybrid warfare is limited to a specific country. Today's war may require a change in perception, as it may have become a daily situation where hybrid elements must be considered. Second, this study points out that the reason for the occurrence of international legal problems in relation to hybrid warfare may be a problem of perception. The gray zone, legal and information warfare issues can also be approached with a shift in perception. The perspective on war has changed, and accordingly, the understanding of the exclusive legal application of the dichotomous international law on war may need to change. Rather than being immersed in the problem of distinction between peacetime and wartime, we may have to have a ‘complex perspective.’ However, this approach has a limitation. More fundamentally, it may be necessary to reinterpret and redefine the concepts of “peace” and “war.”
Memes com conceitos de mais de dois mil anos:
Authors: Gomes Daniele , Romanazzi Freire Carolina
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir teoricamente as possibilidades didáticas a presença do gênero textual meme (DAWKINS, 1978) como um intercessor (DELEUZE, 2013) viável de dar suporte ao material didático no ensino da Filosofia na educação básica. Se pensarmos a Filosofia como experiência crítico-criativa do pensamento e não como um conteúdo reproduzido acriticamente, devemos refletir como o encontro com os diferentes discursos podem ser intensificadores no que concerne ao conhecimento filosófico. Sendo os memes formas de comunicação criadas a partir de situações corriqueiras e com uma forma de linguagem potencialmente criativa que podem propor múltiplas leituras sobre diferentes temas, como esse recurso pode ser utilizado pelos docentes em tempos de ensino remoto e também, presencial? Que potencialidades podemos alcançar quando usados de maneira estratégica? Eles podem fomentar experiências filosóficas? Essas são algumas das indagações mobilizadas para propor a irreverência (KOHAN, 2013) enquanto uma categoria que colabora para o mapeamento do presente (MASSCHELEIN, 2008) e o desenvolvimento de uma perspectiva filosófica do ensino de Filosofia.
Ensino de filosofia para surdos
Authors: Garcia Danilma Medeiros Garcia , Rodrigues Valter Ferreira Rodrigues
Published: July 2022

Este artigo busca analisar como se dá o processo de inclusão da pessoa surda no contexto escolar do Ensino Médio, no sentido de entender e contribuir ao esclarecimento do (da) surdo (a) e do (da) ouvinte, como sendo sujeitos da própria realidade vivida e construída, viabilizando assim, uma convivência mais justa e harmônica. Nesse sentido, espera-se que esta pesquisa venha contribuir de forma relevante para a formação e conscientização dos (as) alunos (as) e do corpo integrante da comunidade escolar, devendo assim, abrir no ambiente educacional, possibilidades de discussões e mobilizações no intuito de incentivar a interação entre os estudantes independentemente das diferenças, construindo um espaço de diálogo na sociedade, para com isso desenvolver uma nova consciência, a partir das contribuições da filosofia e seu ensino com alunos (as) surdos (a), na tentativa de aproximação da cultura surda com os múltiplos acontecimentos cotidianos, a partir das possibilidades de encontros entre as diferenças.
Nietzsche e ensino de filosofia:
Authors: Vilas Bôas João Paulo
Published: July 2022

Este artigo busca apresentar uma investigação sobre o agonismo em Nietzsche e traçar, a partir dele, as linhas gerais de uma proposta educativa para a democratização da filosofia no Brasil. O emprego das ideias de Nietzsche como base teórica para um objetivo democrático exige uma discussão prévia sobre a possibilidade de interpretações e de apropriações não-ortodoxas dos textos deste pensador, após o quê buscamos oferecer uma caracterização e exploração teórica sobre o agonismo. Por fim, serão desenvolvidas as ideias de educação agonística e também de democratização da filosofia.

Digitale Kompetenzen für Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftler:innen. Vorzüge eines Blended Learning-Formats für die Vermittlung von Programmierkenntnissen.
Authors: Frommherz Yannick , Langenhorst Jan
Published: July 2022

Die Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften (GSW) werden zunehmend digital. Wissenschaftler:innen stehen mittlerweile relevante Daten in großer Quantität zur Verfügung – aus dem Internet und durch die Digitalisierung analoger Bestände. Die neue Masse an Daten ermöglicht und erfordert den Einsatz quantitativer Analysemethoden. Zwar existieren niedrigschwellige Tools für einzelne Arbeitsschritte bei der Erschließung und Auswertung von Daten innerhalb der digitalen GSW, doch bieten diese lediglich vordefinierte Schnittstellen und schränken Wissenschaftler:innen somit ein. Grundlegende Programmierkenntnisse können hier Abhilfe schaffen, indem sie Forschenden ermöglichen, ihre Fragestellungen wesentlich flexibler zu verfolgen. Die Professur für Angewandte Linguistik bietet daher seit Langem einen Programmierkurs an, der sich spezifisch an den Bedarfen Linguistikstudierender ausrichtet und diesbezüglich stetig verbessert wird. Die Umstellung auf ein Blended Learning-Format im Video-Tutorial-Stil erwies sich als sehr geeignetes Setting: Studierende können die Inhalte räumlich-zeitlich flexibel konsumieren und so ihren Fortschritt individuell gestalten. Dieser Beitrag liefert einen ausführlichen Bericht über die Vermittlung von Programmierkenntnissen an Linguistikstudierende, diskutiert Vor- und Nachteile des umgesetzten Blended Learning-Formats und bietet einen Ausblick auf ein laufendes Projekt, in dem der bestehende Kurs optimiert und auf Studierende anderer GSWs ausgeweitet wird.
Erkenntnisse aus der Tutorienarbeit unter pandemischen Bedingungen
Authors: Schlegel Beatrice , Ludwig Melanie
Published: July 2022

Mit diesem Beitrag werden Erkenntnisse in der Tutorienarbeit an der TU Dresden während der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie herausgestellt, die einerseits auf den Erfahrungen in Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen beruhen und andererseits auf Evaluationsergebnissen. Diese werden unter anderem im Beitrag vorgestellt und diskutiert. Es ergaben sich neue Herausforderungen für Tutor:innen und damit auch eine veränderte Aufgabenvielfalt: größere Gruppen, Online-Tutorien, Interaktion anregen - um hier nur die wichtigsten zu nennen. Unterstützend dabei wirkten vor allem die Betreuungspersonen, ein stabiles Beschäftigungsverhältnis und psychologische, methodische Unterstützung bei Krisen und schwierigen Situationen sowie Wertschätzung und Motivation durch gezielte Qualifizierung. Neben den Erkenntnissen und der veränderten Aufgabenvielfalt während der Pandemie werden in diesem Artikel die Potentiale von Tutorienarbeit, Unterstützungsoptionen für Tutor:innen und Schlussfolgerungen für die nach-pandemischen Semester bezüglich der Qualifizierung von Tutor:innen aufgezeigt.
Digitale und hybride Lehre in der medizinischen Ausbildung am Beispiel des Medizinischen Interprofessionellen Trainingszentrums MITZ Impulse und Entwicklungspotentiale
Authors: Röhle Anne , Bibrack Eva
Published: July 2022

Mit Beginn der COVID-19-Pandemie wurde die Durchführung der praktischen Lehre vor große Herausforderungen gestellt. Das Medizinische Interprofessionelle Trainingszentrum (MITZ) ist diesen mit der Implementierung neuer Lehr-/Lernformate erfolgreich begegnet und hat die Chance genutzt, weitere Projekte zu initiieren. Vor dem Hintergrund sich verändernder beruflicher An- und Herausforderungen wird damit zugleich der zunehmenden Kompetenzorientierung in der Hochschullehre Rechnung getragen, indem Lehr-/Lernprozesse die Lernenden als aktiv Handelnde in den Fokus stellen. Neue digitale Formate und Technologien haben das Potential, den Wandel hin zu einem eigenverantwortlichen und personalisierten Lernen zu vollziehen. Im Folgenden wird unter methodischen und bildungswissenschaftlichen Aspekten die Neuausrichtung der praktischen Lehre im MITZ vorgestellt.
