Living detectors and complementary signs: cats, eyes, and sirens
Authors: Fabbri Paolo , Bastide Françoise 
Published: December 2022

Abstract/Summary
The article proposes that society should allow any information about the exact locations of radioactive waste repositories to be forgotten and to pass on to further generations only the knowledge about the fact that radioactive waste repositories do exist and about methods of radiation measurement. This is to prevent politically relevant knowledge from being exploited. A biological option is recommended for radiation measurement: in order to make nuclear radiation perceptible to humans, animals should be bred that react to radioactive irradiation with skin discoloration. This animal species should exist as part of the ecological niche of humans, and its role as a radiation detector should be anchored in cultural tradition by introducing a suitable name (e.g., ‘ray cat’) and by proverbs and myths. If someone unknowingly enters a radioactive waste repository, they shall be war-ned by iconic-indexical signs. A representation of a human body part (e.g., an ‘eye brea-king into pieces’) should serve as a visual signal and a siren powered by radiation ener-gy, whose volume and sound correspond to the intensity of radiation, should serve as an acoustic signal. However, the authors are skeptical about the likelihood that these signs will actually be understood by the addressees and accepted as a warning.
Xenosemiotics. Toward an Alienist Materialism
Authors: Tenti Gregorio 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Intended as a branch of synthetic biology, xenobiology aims to design and build non-standard life forms, that is to constructively venture into biological otherness. According to this creative and speculative character, it challenges the principles of synthetic biology itself, which is tied to a fundamentally reductionist approach. Xenobiology does not treat life as a closed code, but rather as a field of ontological innovation; in this sense, it evokes a biosemiotic paradigm that accounts for sense-making and non-anthropomorphic interactions.
Xenobiology, however, can also be intended as the “divergent” and most speculative part of astrobiology, namely as a theory of contact with extra-terrestrial life. According to this second meaning, it searches for and speculates on alien biologies. Building on these two meanings, the paper aims to outline a semiotic theory of otherness, or ‘xenosemiotics’, that shifts the focus from communication to morphogenetic information.
Towards Xenofuturism. Decolonial Future Figurations from Vernacular Semioverses
Authors: Voto Cristina , Martin-Iglesias Rodrigo , Agra Rocío 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe goal of our research is to question the Global North’s narratives of the Future through alternative vernacular semiotic constructions. We will analyze the impact that American vernacular semioverses have on the possibility of generating decolonial figurations of alternative futures, based on the theoretical framework of what we callXenofuturism. Having its roots in Latin America, Xenofuturism has two complementary aspects: the recovery of an active memory of decolonial deconstruction and the understanding of radical alterity. Within these semioverses, we will explore the Aymara cultural figurations for which the future is not ahead but behind, disorienting us from the present, the only temporal dimension in which we exist. In the ancestral cosmogony of the Bolivian-Peruvian Andean, where the Aymara culture stems from the idea of future-past, or that the past can be seen as future, is central. Temporal hybridity tears apart the linearity of Western time and outlines the emergence of figurations of the future that contain a density of temporal tensions in the present.
Language and communication in future gamified virtual realities
Authors: Giuliana Gianmarco Thierry 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
There’s no need to introduce the first speaker of this morning as he is, arguably, one of the most renowned semioticians in the world. During his brilliant career he has published extensively on the topic of virtual realities and he will present to us his latest research on the defining technology of our times: the Simulatron. Specifically, he will focus on the 2053 incident which took place inside the virtual world of SimuLife during which all the users lost the ability to use verbal language and thus inventively resorted to different semiotic forms of meaning-making to communicate and interact. A topic which is of extreme relevance for this 2062 World congress « Semiotics in the Metalife ». So, without further ado, I welcome and leave the floor to Professor Wright..
How to remember a place to forget? The semiotic design of deep geological nuclear repositories, from long-term communication to memory transmission
Authors: Mazzucchelli Francesco , Paglianti Nanta Novello 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Drawing on the field of nuclear semiotics, this article critically discusses the classic problem of marking the location of a deep geological repository to communicate – in the distant future – its presence and potential threats to intruders. The article is divided into two parts. The first part reviews some site-marking solutions that have been proposed in the nearly 40 years of nuclear semiotics’ existence. These solutions are analyzed through the lens of semiotics of space and memory, highlighting different ideas about the purposes of site-marking, ranging from the idea of communicating a warning message to that of transmitting a memory. The second part addresses these strategies of memory transmission by examining some recent “speculative experiments” that use art to convey information about nuclear repositories to future generations. This part of the article examines artistic proposals submitted to a competition organized by ANDRA (the French Agency for Nuclear Waste).
Assessment of Climate Change Mainstreaming in Spatial Planning at the Central Level in Kosovo
Authors: Caka Fjollë , Ismaili Murtezan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Spatial developments contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and disordered land use. At the same time, climate change impacts have spatial implications, influencing the land uses and settlements development, and damaging habitats, ecosystems, infrastructure and other assets. Considering its regulatory character and multi-sectorial approach, spatial planning is gaining an increasingly important role in climate change management. As such, it could be better utilized in increasing climate resiliency and achieving decarbonization targets in Kosovo as well. While Kosovo is prone to natural hazards such as floods, landslides, droughts, and wildfires, the future climate change could further impact the economy, infrastructure, buildings, energy, health and wellbeing of its communities. Assuming that climate change considerations are not sufficiently integrated in spatial planning policies at the national level in Kosovo, this research assesses the extent that the Law on Spatial Planning and the Spatial Plan of Kosovo (also referred as the Spatial Planning Strategy) address those considerations. Upon the identified gaps, this research provides recommendations for better climate change management, risk reduction and resiliency building. Considering that the Spatial Plan of Kosovo has expired, and the Kosovo’s institutions are currently reviewing and considering the updating of the Law on Spatial Planning, the findings of this research could better inform and orient climate change mainstreaming in spatial planning at the central level.

The paper is based on the literature review of various research papers and studies that were published by prominent and specialized scholars, institutions and relevant organizations in the field of inclusive education, with a focus on disabled children and their rights to have equal chances for education in regular schools with their peers. The paper further reflects teachers experience and perception on the inclusive education process and the challenges they face in this regard.
Finally, the paper provides various views on what is expected by an inclusive teacher and what type of support and assistance they need to get from other educators and teachers specialized in education of children with disabilities in order to meet children’s needs in the context. The paper also describes the importance of inclusive teacher’s collaboration with the school management, children’s parents and caregivers and other relevant specialists in order to understand the specific background of child’s type of disability with the aim of adapting his teaching methodology, tools and materials as per child’s specific needs for an individualized education planning if needed.
A Survey on Authorship Analysis Tasks and Techniques
Authors: Misini Arta , Kadriu Arbana , Canhasi Ercan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Authorship Analysis (AA) is a natural language processing field that examines the previous works of writers to identify the author of a text based on its features. Studies in authorship analysis include authorship identification, authorship profiling, and authorship verification. Due to its relevance, to many applications in this field attention has been paid. It is widely used in the attribution of historical literature. Other applications include legal linguistics, criminal law, forensic investigations, and computer forensics. This paper aims to provide an overview of the work done and the techniques applied in the authorship analysis domain. The examination of recent developments in this field is the principal focus. Many different criteria can be used to define a writer’s style. This paper investigates stylometric features in different author-related tasks, including lexical, syntactic, semantic, structural, and content-specific ones. A lot of classification methods have been applied to authorship analysis tasks. We examine many research studies that use different machine learning and deep learning techniques. As a means of pointing the direction for future studies, we present the most relevant methods recently proposed. The reviewed studies include documents of different types and different languages. In summary, due to the fact that each natural language has its own set of features, there is no standard technique generically applicable for solving the AA problem.

Etnopedagogi adalah model pembelajaran baru yang masih dikembangkan hingga saat ini, baik secara konsep maupun implementasinya. Etnopedagogi secara sederhana ialah pembelajaran berbasis etnik, baik yang digunakan sebagai sumber belajar maupun media pembelajaran. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan konsep Etnopedagogi, implementasi dan hasilnya, hambatan, serta tantangannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur sistematis. Tahapan pada penelitian ini adalah menentukan kata kunci, proses pencarian sesuai kriteria, dan analisis artikel. Data untuk studi literatur dikumpulkan dengan bantuan Publish or Perish software. Akses yang digunakan untuk mencari artikel yang dikaji menggunakan database Google Scholar dan Scopus dengan rentang waktu 10 tahun terakhir. Hasil studi menunjukkan belum didapatkan konsep yang jelas mengenai Etnopedagogi. Hambatan yang berasal dari belum matangnya konsep menyebabkan implementasi Etnopedagogi yang belum matang, seperti minimnya kompetensi guru mengenai Etnopedagogi. Tantangan yang ada ialah para pemangku kepentingan pendidikan harus berani mengubah pandangan mengenai paradigma pembelajaran. Selain itu, perlu adanya pembenahan dari guru mengenai kompetensi Etnopedagogi. Dengan demikian, perlu adanya pematangan lebih lanjut mengenai konsep Etnopedagogi.
Gender specificity of reactivity rat skins microvessels according to laser doppler flowmetry
Authors: Chkhaidze I. Z. 
Published: December 2022

Introduction. In the development of systemic microcirculation disorders, gender is known to have a certain significance. However, the features of the microvessels reactivity and their functional reserve have not been sufficiently studied. Purpose – to study the gender specificity of the microvessels reactivity of rat skin according to LDF data in the conditions of functional tests. Materials and methods. The study was carried out on male and female Wistar rats. Females with a stable 4-day estrous cycle according to colpocytogram data were selected for the experiment. The LDF method was used to evaluate the initial skin perfusion and its dynamics under the conditions of a test with local contact hypothermia induced by a thermoelement. The distribution of temperature fields was evaluated using a FLIR ONE Pro thermal imaging camera. Results. While contact cooling of the skin, microvessels developed a reaction having phase pattern. Immediately after exposure, local contact hypothermia was accompanied by a significant decrease in skin temperature and tissue perfusion (in the area of laser flowmetry). At the same time, males had higher percentage of reduction in skin blood flow (Q %) than females and amounted to 54 % of the initial values. The maximum perfusion after the restoration of blood flow was noted at the 5th minute in males, at the 3rd minute in females and amounted to 147 % and 149.9 %, respectively. The initial blood flow in the skin microvessels in different phases of the estrous cycle in females did not differ significantly. However, when conducting a functional test in the proestrus stage, characterized by the maximum secretion of estrogens by the ovaries, vasoconstriction was less pronounced than in other phases of the cycle. Conclusion. The revealed features of blood flow reduction followed by «cold vasodilation» under conditions of local contact hypothermia tests indicate a greater functional reserve of microvessels and a more effective mechanism of autoregulation of the microcirculation system in female rats.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. Age-related changes of blood flow parameters and hepatic portal vein wall morphometry are one of the topical and insufficiently investigated issues of liver hemodynamics. The aim was to study changes of portal hemodynamics and to analyze the portal vein wall morphometry of rats at different age periods. Materials and methods. 60 mongrel rats of both sexes weighing 120–350 g were divided into three age groups. The first group included 20 rats aged 1 month, the second – 20 rats aged 6–12 months and the third – 20 rats aged more than 18–24 months. The qualitative and quantitative portal vein hemodynamics parameters were obtained by ultrasound scanners under zoletil-xylazine anesthesia. Morphometric examination of the portal vein was performed. Digital data were processed by methods of variational statistics. Results. The diameter of the portal vein in groups II and III was greater than the corresponding parameter in group I (R = – 0.40 and R = 0.64, respectively). The time-averaged average blood flow rate in the II age group increased by 9.11 % compared to the I group, decreased by 10.43 % in the III group (the differences are statistically unreliable). The volumetric blood flow rate increased moderately in age groups II and III compared to group I (by 13.07 and 11.13 %, respectively; the difference is statistically unreliable). The ratio of the volumetric blood flow rate to the weight of the animal in the II age group increased by 3.85 % compared to the I group, decreased by 11.54 % in the III group (the differences are statistically unreliable). Since the mass of animals significantly increased with age, the portal vein volumetric blood flow of old animals is likely to be decreased. Mature and old rats demonstrated significant decrease of the muscle membrane thickness, the Kernogan index and the width of the collagen layer. Conclusion. Age-related changes of rats portal hemodynamics resulted in a slight reliable increase of portal vein diameter and its cross-sectional area. Linear and volumetric parameters of blood flow were found not to have statistically reliable dependence on the age and weight of animals. Morphometric parameters of the rats portal vein wall were revealed to have pronounced changes in different age groups. The aging of the portal vein wall of elder rats consisted in a significant decrease of the muscle membrane thickness, the Kernogan index and the width of the collagen layer.

Published: December 2022

Jagung adalah salah satu produk pertanian yang dihasilkan di Desa Curahnongko yang produksinya cenderung meningkat. Berdasarkan data BPS Jember, potensi desa tersebut untuk komoditi jagung cukup besar yaitu 11.802 ton yang dari luas tanam 1.685 Ha. Sebagian besar jagung dijual dalam bentuk jagung pipilan, dengan menyisakan limbah batang, daun, klobot dan tongkol jagung. Tongkol jagung merupakan limbah terbesar (30%) dari buah jagung. Apabila dikonversikan dengan jumlah produksi jagung pada tahun 2017, maka Desa ini berpotensi memberikan limbah tongkol jagung sebanyak ± 3.540 ton. Limbah tersebut terhitung sangat banyak sehingga sangat potensial jika ditransformasi menjadi sesuatu yang bermanfaat secara tepat. Limbah tongkol jagung belum dimanfaatkan masyarakat dan dibiarkan berserakkan di lahan-lahan kosong membentuk timbunan yang besar dan tinggi. Seiring waktu, tongkol jagung ini akan rusak dan busuk sehingga menimbulkan bau yang mengganggu lingkungan dan kesehatan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan solusi terhadap limbah tersebut agar tidak mengganggu lingkungan dan kesehatan, serta mengubah limbah menjadi produk yang bermanfaat dan bernilai ekonomi tinggi. Solusi yang ditawarkan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut yaitu mengedukasi masyarakat tentang jumlah limbah tongkol jagung dan komposisi kimia, teknologi tepat guna dalam produksi pakan ternak dari tongkol jagung, serta melakukan perhitungan agribisnis dan pemasaran produk pakan ternak.
