Bespoke Urban Factory
Authors:   , Bankier-Perry André 
Published: November 2021

<p>A change in consumer values has resulted in the traditional factory becoming outdated and out of touch. The ever-changing rapid and exponential development in high-tech manufacturing technologies is enabling humankind to realise products and efficiencies never conceived of until recently. Mass production is a thing of the past. People want options – bespoke products and services with the ease and precision of a well-articulated assembly line. The consumer wants to understand the process, production practises and effects of the choices they make. Since the emergence of the city itself, the public marketplace has been a critical node for urban vitality and liveliness – an assemblage of skilled creative specialists liaising directly with the consumer – where the designer is the maker and the store is the workshop. With the evolution of mass production, this once unified marketplace typology has fragmented and dispersed to where manufacturing no longer lies within the consumer’s grasp. A rich historic urban architecture has been supplanted by a distant scattering of industrial warehouses and faceless high street facades. The emergence of innovative new methods of designing and making has presented an opportunity to once again close the gap between production and the consumer interface. Imagine a new architectural typology – an innovative urban marketplace that bridges the current disparity between production, consumerism and public space. It looks to explore the way in which architecture conveys emerging innovative technologies; the way manufacturing is displayed and perceived; and the relationships it has with those who engage with it. Using a local catalyst site, the research puts forward a solution as a socially and contextually relevant node within the city of Wellington, New Zealand. Architectural ideas are iteratively tested alongside a set of typological strategies – each informing the other. Throughout this process, the research seeks to understand and stitch together the many complex conditions in which to provide an inviting, engaging, public consumer destination. This is a high-tech marketplace of sorts – a new architecture for a new era of industry.</p>
The Right to Die and the Communal Body - An examination of the media influence, ethical principles and stakeholder attitudes towards assisted dying in New Zealand from a sociology in bioethics perspective
Authors:   , Revell-Dennett Sarah 
Published: November 2021

<p>This thesis is based on a sociology in bioethics approach which seeks to demonstrate that the current rhetoric being used by parties on both sides of the debate is no longer useful for the realities that people are expressing or living. In sociology, the assisted dying literature has tended to focus on the social, political, economic and cultural contexts within which it is sought, and to understand the range of definitions that are used to conceptualise a good death. Bioethics literature, on the other hand, has removed the socially situated individual from ethical discussions of assisted dying. By engaging with an idea of the communal body, interpreted as a moral community who experience intersubjective realties, this thesis provides a platform to combine these two perspectives. It seeks to examine the range of possibilities for understanding the socially situated and relationally autonomous individual requesting medically-assisted death. The debate in New Zealand surrounding the right-to-die was brought to the fore in 2015 when terminally ill Lecretia Seales took a case to the High Court. Her argument sought a clarification of the current law, which would have allowed her doctor to provide life-ending medication should her pain and suffering become unbearable. Seales’ case was unsuccessful but it, along with the following events, has succeeded in bringing attention about end-of-life choices to the New Zealand public and media. The current End of Life Choice Bill, which stands before Parliament and was proposed by Member of Parliament (MP) David Seymour of the ACT Party, will once again provide a chance for these issues to be voted on by New Zealand’s elected officials. A critical analysis of provincial New Zealand media articles, across the time periods between 2002-2005 and 2012-2015, has sought to highlight the ways the media influences public perceptions of the debate and emphasises the limited discourse available. These years represent significant periods during which events in time led the media to variably describe these deaths from murders to mercy killings. Further thematic analysis (TA) of 12 interviews undertaken with stakeholders in the field of medically-assisted dying show discrepancies between lay public knowledge and informed stakeholder views. Overall, this thesis situates the communal body within the right-to-die argument in New Zealand. The results lend themselves to support a view that the current lack of available discourse has for the most part irrevocably rendered a divide between those who campaign for change and those who do not. In this thesis, I argue that by positioning itself within a sociology in bioethics approach, the right-to-die debate in New Zealand will be afforded a clearer understanding.</p>
Seismotectonic of a Locked Subduction Patch: The Southern Hikurangi Margin
Authors:   , Evanzia Dominic 
Published: November 2021

<p>Subduction zones produce the largest earthquakes on the planet, where rupture along the plate interface can result in the release of stress over large areas, with up to tens of meters of slip extending from below the surface to the trench. The regional stress field is a primary control on the faulting process, ergo understanding the regional stress field leads to a better understanding of the current and future faulting in the area. Abundant new seismic and continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) data in the southern North and northern South Island, New Zealand, make it possible to characterize stress and strain parameters throughout the southern Hikurangi subduction zone. Stress orientations calculated within the subducting plate, the overriding Australian plate, and due to gravitational forces reveal that stress throughout the subducting system varies across the southern North Island. Margin parallel motion is being accommodated by shear deformation west of theWairarapa fault, whereas margin perpendicular motion is being accommodated east of theWairarapa fault. Stress parameters within the double Benioff zone (DBZ) were characterized in term of two bands of seismicity. In the deep region of the DBZ, inversion the upper band of seismicity shows down-dip tension, while the lower band shows compression. Tension in the upper band and compression in the lower band is consistent with bending stresses. In the shallow region of the DBZ, the inversion of both the upper and lower bands seismicity showed tension; this is indicative of slab pull. Shear-wave splitting of stacked waveforms of local earthquakes recorded on 291 three-component stations showed an average fast azimuth of N-S to NNE-SSW, west of theWairarapa fault. A fast azimuth orientation of N-S to NNE-SSW is sub-parallel to the local major faults. This indicates that the observed anisotropy west of theWairarapa fault is structurally derived. East of the Wairarapa fault, within the Wairarapa Basin, the average fast azimuth orientation isNNW-SSE. Because the fast azimuth orientation showed no dependence on station-earthquake distance, depth, or back azimuth and is perpendicular to major local faults; it has been interpreted as being reflective of the SHmax orientation. cGPS daily solutions for long-term and inter-slow slip events (inter-SSE) time periods show distinctly differing regions of shear strain rate in the southern North Island and northern South Island. Compression and positive (clockwise) rotation in the southern North and northern South Island was observed using both datasets. Inter-SSE time periods resulted in lower magnitude strain parameters than those calculated during time periods including SSEs. These datasets shows that strain parameters change on time scales of SSEs (< 10 years).</p>
Decolonising the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Duncan Rebecca , Höglund Johan 
Published: November 2021

At its inception, the COVID-19 pandemic was described as something inherently new, capable of crossing and erasing the economic, racial, gendered, and religious divides that stratify societies around the world. However, the ongoing pandemic is not new or egalitarian, but fuelled by, and fuelling, crises already under way on a global scale. In this article we examine on the one hand the relationship between the pandemic and still-active formations of racialised and gendered power, and on the other the pandemic's inextricability from a dispersed and uneven planetary emergency. As the environmental historian Jason W. Moore notes, this emergency disproportionately affects ‘women, people of colour and (neo)colonial populations’ (2019: 54), and the effects of COVID-19 are similarly unevenly allocated.

The Concept of Beauty in the Theology of Martyrius-Sahdona (7th Century)
Authors: Судаков Максим 
Published: November 2021

В своих аскетических сочинениях известный восточно-сирийский писатель Мартирий-Сахдона много внимания уделяет теме обожения человека, в связи с которой он регулярно употребляет понятие «красота» (šuprā). Этим словом он обозначает как свойство Бога, так и свойство человека как образа Божьего. В последнем случае Мартирий понимает красоту как качество добродетелей и как свойство твари в её неповреждённом состоянии, сообщённое ей Богом. В статье выясняется значение понятия «красота» для антропологического и аскетического учения, выраженного Мартирием, а также предпринимается попытка установить место, которое занимают его мысли о красоте в контексте произведений сирийских и греческих авторов, некоторые из которых могли оказать на него влияние, а некоторые - бесспорно оказали. После анализа употребления данного понятия в различных сочинениях Мартирия становится очевидной систематичность и последовательность его мысли, выражаемой с помощью указанного термина. Сопоставление высказываний о красоте у Мартирия и у многих других авторов, в свою очередь, позволяет говорить, что учение Мартирия о красоте вполне соответствует мнениям этих авторов, среди которых бóльшая часть - православные святые отцы.
In his ascetic writings a famous East Syriac writer Martyrius-Sahdona pays much attention to the theme of deification of man, due to what he regularly uses the beauty (šuprā) consept. He designates by this word the property of God as well as the property of man, as image of God. In the last case Martyrius understands the beauty as the quality of virtues and as the attribute of the creature in its undamaged state, which is given to it by God. The article attempts to clarify the significance of the concept beauty for the anthropological and ascetic teaching, expressed by Martyrius. Also there is undertaken an attempt to definite a place, which his ideas about the beauty occupy in the context of the works of the Syriac and Greek authors, some of which may have influence on him, and some - certainly have. After the analysis of the use of this concept in several writings of Martyrius systematic and consistent character of his thought, expressed by this, becomes obvious. In its turn the comparison of assertions about the beauty by Martyrius and by a lot of other authors allows to say, that the teaching of Martyrius about the beauty is consistent with the opinions of these authors, most of which are the Orhodox Holy Fathers.

Published: November 2021

Статья рассматривает проблематику реконструкции биографии Иоанна Мосха, обозначает трудности сопоставления источников, содержащих основные сведения о жизни палестинского подвижника. Неоднородность, разрозненность и некоторая противоречивость источников, содержащих биографические сведения об Иоанне Мосхе, ставит перед исследователями задачу их сопоставления и анализа. В силу того, что источники не представляют конкретных и точных биографических данных, любая версия воссоздания жизненного пути Иоанна Мосха будет представлять предположение. В статье делается попытка разобраться в хронологии основных этапов жизни Иоанна Мосха.
This article examines the problems of reconstructing the biography of John Moschus, identifies the difficulties of comparing sources containing basic information about the life of this Palestinian ascetic. The heterogeneity, fragmentation and some inconsistency of the sources containing biographical information about John Moschus, sets before the researchers the task of comparing and analyzing them. Due to the fact that the sources do not provide specific and accurate biographical data, any version of the recreation of the life path of John Moschus will be a supposition. This article attempts to understand the chronology of the main stages in the life of John Moschus.

Published: November 2021

During the intensive development of information systems, the volumes of data necessary for storing and processing information, in particular graphic images, grow. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the desire to continually improve the quality of the content we receive. The ever-growing demand for image quality requires the development of new and improvement of existing approaches to information compression. Compression algorithms use the presence of so-called surplus in the data, which can be eliminated during data storage and restored during playback. Currently in demand methods are based on storing only low-frequency components. Such methods are used in JPEG, MPEG compression algorithms. The disadvantage of such algorithms is not a large compression ratio. In this regard, methods have emerged based on fractal data compression. The main idea of ​​the method is to store the image as affine transformations, which leads to its compression.
The paper proposes preliminary processing of graphic data for storing them in the form of a file with the * .json extension. The application of a further fractal compression algorithm to the already obtained file allows to reduce the processing time of data, computational calculations. The resulting file will have the advantages of fractal compression such as decompression speed, better compression ratio and higher resolution compared to * .jpeg and * .bmp.
Despite all the advantages, fractal compression of graphic information is used quite rarely. This is due to the complexity of the algorithm, the lack of a sufficient number of specialists on this issue and the estimate of the licensed software. The improvement is aimed at simplifying the algorithm and its implementation will avoid these drawbacks and expand the scope of fractal compression.

The Rhodococcus erythropolis gene DYC18_RS18060 (1437 bp) putatively codes for a secondary transporter of the Nucleobase Cation Symporter-1 (NCS-1) protein family (478 amino acids). The DYC18_RS18060 gene was successfully cloned from R. erythropolis genomic DNA with addition of EcoRI and PstI restriction sites at the 5′ and 3′ ends, respectively, using PCR technology. The amplified gene was introduced into IPTG-inducible plasmid pTTQ18 immediately upstream of the sequence coding for a His6-tag. The construct was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), then amplified expression of the DYC18_RS18060-His6 protein was achieved with detection by SDS-PAGE and western blotting. Computational methods predicted that DYC18_RS18060 has a molecular weight of 51.1 kDa and isoelectric point of 6.58. The protein was predicted to be hydrophobic in nature (aliphatic index 113.24, grand average of hydropathicity 0.728) and to form twelve transmembrane spanning α-helices with both N- and C-terminal ends at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Whilst database sequence similarity searches and phylogenetic analysis suggested that the substrate of DYC18_RS18060 could be cytosine, this was not certain based on comparisons of residues involved in substrate binding in experimentally characterised NCS-1 proteins. This study has laid foundations for further structural and functional studies of DYC18_RS18060 and other NCS-1 proteins.

Sessiz Ev’de Toplumsal Cinsiyet Normlarının Gölgesinde Kalan Erkeklik Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: SOYSAL EŞİTTİ Asli 
Published: November 2021

Aynı soydan gelen üç kuşağın hikâyesinin anlatıldığı Sessiz Ev, yaklaşık yüz yıla yayılan tarihsel zamanıyla, Türkiye’de yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümlerin, toplumsal cinsiyete yüklenen anlam ve değerler aracılığıyla okunmasına imkân sağlar. Toplumsal cinsiyet normlarının sadece kadınlar değil, erkekler üzerinde de etkili olduğu, erkekleri de yaş, meslek, fiziksel görünüm, toplumsal statü vb. etkenlere göre sınıflandırdığı görülür. Bu bağlamda erkeklik, erkekler arasındaki bir mücadele alanı olarak toplumsal rekabeti içinde barındırır. Çalışmanın merkezinde yer alan toplumsal cinsiyete ait söylem ve uygulamaların erkekler arasındaki hiyerarşiyi belirlediği ve erkekler üzerinde baskı kurduğu incelenen roman aracılığıyla görünür kılınmıştır. Çalışmada, erkeklik ile ilgili toplumsal normların, erkekler üzerinde baskı kurulmasına sebep olduğu, onları kuşatan ve engelleyen bir yapıya dönüştüğü tespit edilmiştir.
Sessiz Ev’de birinci kuşağın temsilcisi Doktor Selahattin Bey, toplumsal cinsiyet normları tarafından erkeğe atfedilen birincil toplumsal konumun başarılı, güçlü ve üstün olma gibi değerlerine sahip değildir. Selahattin Bey, mesleğinde, aile yaşamında ve toplumsal hayatta iktidar sahibi bir erkek görünümüne sahip olamamıştır. Selahattin Bey’in soyundan gelen erkeklerin tümü, toplumsal cinsiyet normlarının erkek için belirlediği üstün değerleri taşımayan ve bu sebeple iktidardan pay alamayan bir erkekliğin temsilcisidir. Roman üzerine yapılan incelemede, erkeklerin toplumsal cinsiyet yapıları içindeki kendi erkekliklerini kurgulama biçimlerinin, önceki nesillerin izlerini taşıdığı ve erkeklik algısında belirleyici olduğu görülmüştür. Sessiz Ev’de Selahattin Bey’in soyundan gelen meşru ve gayrimeşru tüm erkeklerin, bir önceki nesilden farklı bir erkeklik kurmayı hedefleseler de başarılı olamadıkları, babalarının ya da dedelerinin eril iktidardaki payından uzaklaşmalarının mümkün olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
