As happy as a pig in art

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Innovative, insightful, significant. These are some words that may come to mind when thinking about the appellations artists crave to hear about their work. Ian Haig, it seems, is an exception to the rule. For Haig, revolting barbarous and shameless would appear to be favorites in the ultimate lexicon of recognition. During the exhibition of his most recent work, The Dirt Factory, he was the recipient of that most sought after grail, a full page of free publicity in the Melbourne Herald Sun, courtesy of our lyrical orator of all things cultural, journalist Andrew Bolt. The scourge of artists and cultural funding bodies, Bolt pilloried Haig in his inimitable “your taxes paid for this” style of bellicose belle lettrism. The excremental theme of The Dirt Factory clearly wasn’t to Bolt’s taste and after describing how Haig’s work stinks, he likened him to a pig frolicking in its own filth. Art, it seems, must always be uplifting and enlightening, steering away from the darker less palatable realities of the human condition. If Haig is indeed a pig, then he is in good company. One of the greatest artists of abjection is also of the porcine family, by name Francis Bacon. Not to mention those other spurned artists who have plumbed the depths, among them Samuel Beckett (whose centenary was celebrated last month), Shakespeare and Dante. I took some time out to wallow in the mire. [Introduction]

description: Статья посвящена актуальной на сегодняшний день проблеме художественного синтеза в русской литературе, которая авторами статьи рассматривается на материале творчества А.И. Куприна. Дискуссионным продолжает оставаться вопрос о творческом методе писателя, который сам автор называл «смешением» реализма с романтизмом. Особое внимание уделено тому факту, что И.А. Куприн, «отмежевавшись» от классического реализма, обращается к возвышенному миру «естественного человека», близкого к природе, миру, полного надежд, дум о будущем и настоящем, осознавая при этом его глубочайший трагизм. В основу такого миропонимания писателя заложен принцип «романтического двоемирия». Авторы статьи анализируют повесть «Поединок» (1905) с позиций идеи «разлома» между мечтой и действительностью, которая определяет сущность реалистической концепции личности. Авторы делают вывод о том, что А.И. Куприн не может быть измерен в контексте одного философского и идейно-эстетического контекста, потому что он и реалист, и романтик, и философ, и бытописатель, и, самое главное, он и герой – люди, бесконечно влюбленные в жизнь, и в результате недооценки (или переоценки) ее социально и психологически обусловленных процессов возможно упущение одного из важнейших компонентов его многогранного и весьма самобытного творчества.

description: It is often said that the most pressing issue facing interface designers and multimedia artists is the need to find a language that is unique to computers. It seems to me that this is an adjacent, rather than direct angle of attack. It is actually more appropriate to speak of a language of computers and the electronic spaces they generate. While this might seem like so much hair-splitting, there actually is a difference. The difference lies in the recognition that new media-spaces already constitute a language of sorts, conducted on an infra-visible, inhuman level. Remember, this is a space of abstraction we're talking about: 'there's no there, there'. Perhaps we need to start thinking of new media artists as translators, mediators between the virtual and the real.

Досуг реализует преимущественно рекреационную функцию, функцию восстановления сил и отдыха, развлечения и общения, значит, его главной целью выступает деятельность, направленная на всестороннее развитие человека. В любой момент времени людям необходим отдых от учебы, работы и различных дел. И каждый человек делает свой выбор той формы досуга и развлечений, которая ему наиболее интересна. Однако во все времена существовали массовые формы досуга, популярные среди людей с разным достатком, разного возраста, с различными интересами и увлечениями.

description: Global analyses are emerging as valuable complements to local and regional scale studies in ecology and are useful for examining many of the major environmental issues that we face today. Soil ecology has significantly benefited from these developments, with recent syntheses unearthing interesting, unexpected biogeographic patterns in belowground biotic communities. However, some questions still remain unanswered, and the accuracy of these studies is inevitably limited by the extent of the data they draw upon. This is a particular problem in global ecology because most datasets used exhibit geographic bias in sample distribution. Here, we work towards addressing this problem with an open call for collaboration on a planned global analysis of soil phospholipid fatty acid and potential enzyme activity measurements. We summarize the current extent of our dataset, outline the planned analyses, and provide information for prospective collaborators who would like to contribute or learn more.

description: В статье рассматривается историческое развитие заимствованных местоимений башкирского языка. Выяснены особенности следующих местоимений: нимә – “что”, кем – “кто”, көллө, көллөһө – “все”. Обосновывается идея о том, что больше всего заимствований среди определительных и неопределенных местоимений. Эту идею автор связывает с тем, что данные разряды местоимений образовались в более поздний период становления башкирского языка. Особое внимание уделяется происхождению местоимений, заимствованных из арабского языка. Автором подробно описывается параллель функционирования заимствованных местоимений көллө, әллә, бәғзе в арабском и башкирском языках. Дисскусионным остается вопрос этимологии местоимения әллә. Также в статье автор исследует названия местоимений замир и исму замир, которые встречались в начале 20-х годов XX века и являются арабизмами. Приведенный анализ в научной работе дает достаточные основания утверждать, что все заимствования среди местоимений башкирского языка имеют арабские и персидские корни.

Ecological physiology of Eucalyptus tetrodonta (F. Muell.) and Terminalia ferdinandiana (Excell.) (sic) saplings in the Northern Territory
Creators: name: Prior, Lynda
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 1997

description: The climate of the Top End of the Northern Territory is dominated by alternating wet and dry seasons, imposed on a background of high year-round temperatures. Trees of Northern Territory savannas (the most widespread vegetation type) have developed a variety of responses to this strongly seasonal climate, including a range of leaf phenologies, from evergreen to fully deciduous. Young trees are probably more vulnerable than mature trees to drought, probably because their root systems are not so extensive. Responses of juveniles of two common tree species of Northern Territory savannas, Eucalyptus tetrodonta (evergreen) and Terminalia ferdinandiana (deciduous) to diurnal and seasonal changes were investigated. Saplings 1-3m high, were studied at a field site, and potted seedlings 0.6 to 1.0 m high, were used in investigations under controlled conditions. For E. tetrodonta saplings, progressive leaf loss throughout the dry season (more than 80%) was more extensive than in large trees, and represented the major constraint on whole tree carbon assimilation. Mean daily maximum assimilation rates on a leaf area basis ranged from 14.5 µmol m•2 s•1 in May to 4.8 µmol m-2 s-1 in October, and were linearly related to pre-dawn leaf water potentials. Light-saturated assimilation rates were higher during mornings than afternoons, when high temperatures limited assimilation, primarily because of non-stomatal factors . Osmotic adjustment allowed leaf turgor to recover overnight throughout the year. Extensive death of leaves and shoots may be related to xylem embolism. Terminalia ferdinandiana saplings were completely leafless from June to October inclusive, longer than large trees were leafless. Mean daily maximum assimilation rates varied from 12 µmol m-2 s-1 in March to 8 µmol m-2 s-1 in May, mainly due to variations in stomatal conductance. Pre-dawn leaf water potentials decreased more quickly, and stomatal conductance was more sensitive to this decrease, in T. ferdinandiana saplings than in E. tetrodonta saplings.

title: Sublime Territory
title: romantic imaginings of Kakadu and beyond

Creators: name: Rannersberger, Caroline
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2006

description: My research has focused on the sublime in colonial and contemporary Australian landscape, with specific reference to the Northern Territory and the region of Kakadu National Park. I argue that post modern concepts of the sublime in contemporary landscape practice, specifically in the Northern Territory, reflect a current socio political climate of cultural difference, conflict and struggle. The basis of my argument is that we must all think together at the same time; the constant requirement to choose between two different cultural viewpoints, Indigenous and non Indigenous, is precisely what enables our society. My research is composed of two elements, studio practice and exegesis. In this exegesis, I examine the writings of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, and his aesthetic philosophy of the sublime and the contemporary manifestation of the sublime, grounded in the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan, and the social political critique of Slovenian sociologist, Slavoj Žižek and the Australian art historian Rex Butler. I apply these philosophies to an analysis of sublime landscape representations, both colonial and contemporary. Artists I have examined in the context of the eighteenth and nineteenth century sublime include German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, and Australian colonial artists Eugene von Guerard and Augustus Earle. I have examined post modern concepts of the sublime from a Lacanian and Žižekian sociological perspective in the works of Imants Tillers and his critics, including urban Aboriginal artist, Gordon Bennett. In the context of the Northern Territory I explore the work of emerging digital artist and graphic designer, Therese Ritchie. In my studio practice I create large scale, multi panelled landscapes and figures, using a combination of printmaking, drawing and painting on paper. To create my imaginary colonial landscape, I use travelogue entries of nineteenth century German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt and a sketch by Australian colonial artist George French Angas, both of whom represent aspects of the landscape in and around what is now Kakadu National Park. I borrow techniques from Imants Tillers, notably his canvas board system and his use of images from other sources. To create the figures in my landscape, I draw on my German heritage and borrow images of sixteenth century German renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer and seventeenth century German author Hans Jakob Christoffel Grimmelshausen’s Simplicissimus1 to explore social issues of conscience, concepts of good and evil, beauty and terror and the futile search for redemption through travel and exploration. Through my landscapes and figures I aim to show that post modern concepts of the sublime, far from romanticising the artist’s connection to the land, are today seen as a type of negation which is based on a continuing critique of cultural representation.

Year: 2019

description: Cold biomes significantly contribute to the global carbon cycle, and decomposition in these ecosystems is expected to be affected by climatic change. Modifications of snow cover patterns are expected to affect litter decomposition, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated whether soil meso- and microfauna significantly contribute to wintertime decomposition. Using litterbags with two mesh sizes (68 µm and 1500 µm), we found that small mesh litterbags reduced winter decomposition in the field by 3.4 % for Patzkea paniculata litter and by 18.9 % for Dactylis glomerata litter, indicating a significant contribution of soil meso- and microfauna to litter decomposition under the snowpack. Whereas previous studies showed that winter decomposition was not related to the soil fauna community, our results suggest that this community, and its possible alteration by climate change, may impact litter decomposition and carbon dynamics in cold biomes.

title: Enchytraeid assemblages at the foot of a talus slope in Skansbukta on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen
Creators: name: Schlaghamersky, Jiří
name: Devetter, Miloslav
Publisher: name: SOIL ORGANISMS 91(3)

description: Enchytraeids are an important component of Arctic ecosystems both as decomposers and part of the foodchain. Compared to other regions of the High Arctic, the enchytraeid fauna of Spitsbergen and some other islands of the Svalbard archipelago have been explored rather well but we still lack information from many areas and specific habitats. In August 2018, potworms (Annelida: Clitellata: Enchytraeidae) were sampled on the lower portion of a talus slope and in the flat area between this slope and the beach of Skansbukta, a bay of the Isfjord(en) on the western coast of Spitsbergen. Objectives were to compare assemblage composition and densities of close-by sites differing in their environmental characteristics, to provide faunistic data for a little explored area within Spitsbergen, and to clarify the true identity of Marionina argentea s.l., which had been found here previously. Six taxa on species level were recorded, including a Mesenchytraeus species of uncertain identity. Using morphological and molecular characters, Marionina argentea s.l. was shown to be M. mimula, a species described rather recently from Ireland and Sweden and hitherto not known from the Svalbard archipelago. This species dominated the moist flat area, substantially contributing to the higher enchytraeid density of ca 10 000 individuals/m2 compared to less than 3 000 ind./m2 on the lower slope. In the flat area ca 70 % of enchytraeids were present in the uppermost 3 cm layer consisting of mainly live mosses, whereas on the lower slope the distribution of individuals between the 0–3 and 3−6 cm layers was very balanced but no individuals occurred in greater depth, though there was no apparent change in the character of the moss-derived organic soil with depth.
Rainbow serpents, dragons and dragon-slayers: Global traits, ancient Egyptian particulars, and alchemical echoes

description: Robert Blust has recently established that – globally – dragons evolved from rainbow serpents, which in turn represent a prehistoric understanding of rainbows. The present paper explores the "dragon-scape" of ancient Egypt in search of traits that may have survived from these earlier stages. The cryptic pD.tyw Sw and Iaau of Coffin Text 698 might betray a dim remembrance of the archaic Rainbow Taboo, which forbids one to point at a rainbow. The snake-god of the Shipwrecked Sailor preserves a comprehensive set of traits that hint at its origin in a rainbow-serpent-dragon, as does Apophis; both entities can withhold water and both are vulnerable to thunderbolts. Many dragons can breathe/spit fire, and these may either be malevolent or upholders of maat. Most malevolent dragons are male. Most Egyptian dragons have snake-based bodies, often augmented by human legs/feet and/or avian wings. Winged dragons are typically protective, as are serpents with a circular body and/or a head at each end. Some of these, such as Mehen and his associates, seem to anticipate by millennia the ouroboros and the Rebis of European alchemy. Typologically, Narmer's serpopards, the therioanthropomorphic forms of Sobek, Renenutet and Taweret, and "the devouress" Ammut all conform to the ancient Near Eastern dragon paradigm (i.e., a mammalian body with reptilian embellishments) rather than to the global default, but only the serpopards are likely to be true Mesopotamian imports. Most female dragons are protective; Ammut is an exception, and may be a conscious priestly confection. One can trace a conceptual path from Sobek's rapacious desire for women to the annual marriage/sacrifice of a maiden to the Nile-dragon that, in Coptic legend, is vanquished by St. George. The saint's act is a protective intervention that itself has ancient antecedents in the spearing of Apophis by Seth, which in turn conforms to the archaic pattern of a Thunderer felling a dragon by lightning-strike.

description: Purpose: Nowadays, scientists consider the world as a combination of some systems that work in a self –organizing way and the result of such a way is unpredictable and accidential states. Compulsory Natural rules are affective in such circumstances. Also it is known that systems work in a circular form in which order ends in disorder and vice versa. The idea of world as something simple has already replaced by a complicated and contradictory world. The study aim is to survey chaordic organizations characters of sport organizations. Materials andmethods: For this purpose we used a standard questionnaire with appropriate reliability and validity. The statistical population of the study are whole staff of sport and youth head-quarter of west Azarbaijan province that are 89 (sample number is equal to the population's). We used Kolmogrov- Smirnov test to study data normal distribution, and in respect of normal distribution of data to test hypothesis we used sample t test and also descriptive statistical methods like mean and standard deviation, through SPSS 18. Questionnaires were filled out by whole staff of sport and youth head-quarters of west Azarbaijan province. Results: Results of this study, which have got through a single-sample t-test, show that sport organizations have six characteristics of welcoming to innovation, coherence, uncertainty, non-linearity, unpredictability, and ugly structure. It’s just the grade of the characteristic of recruiting competent staffs that is low in sport organizations; in fact they don’t enjoy it. But, within assessing the main hypothesis of the research that was around the feature of chaos-order, it was resulted that sport organizations have characteristics of a chaos-order organization and they can be considered as a chaos-order organization. Conclusions: According to the results of this study and t-table we can deduce that sport organizations are chaordic organization.

Un autre coup de des: multimedia and the game paradigm
Creators: name: Tofts, Darren
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Our engagement with interactives is driven by the cybernetic principle of feedback, the ability of the program to respond to external input, assess those interactions, and precipitate further action on the basis of this information. Feedback, generally, assumes memory of expected outcomes within certain situations. But it also takes into account conditions of unpredictability, the assumption that information received in unexpected or new situations will yield an actual performance based entirely on that information. This behavioural contract between the responsive ecology of the computer and the agency of the user recapitulates something else with which we are familiar, the structures of games and game play; that is, two participants competing with each other strategically within a framework of contingencies. Games are dialectical in that roles are determined around the competitive dynamic of crating/overcoming obstacles that precede the achievement of a goal or outcome. They are effectively a battle for control of the flow of information, or misinformation, as the case may be. The strategies deployed within a game playing environment involve process of adjustment and readjustment, strategic responses to the actions of an opponent. Taken together, these features of control and feedback indicate that games also fit under the general rubric of cybernetics, the science of control and communication within organic and inorganic systems.

description: A new species of enchytraeids with peculiar characters is described, Enchytraeus demutatus sp. nov. The species differs from all known species of Enchytraeus in features of the oesophageal appendages and the male efferent apparati. The oesophageal appendages insert ventro-laterally below the pharyngeal pad and not dorsally behind the pad, as is usual in the genus; furthermore, their histology is different. The male efferent apparati have each an unusually wide and short vas deferens, and accessory glands are attached to the inner surface of the male glandular bulb, in close vicinity to the male pore. The remaining characters agree with the genus diagnosis of Enchytraeus, notably the presence of testis sacs and oesophageal appendages. The bisetose worms are about 5 mm long and 0.2–0.3 mm wide. The peculiarities of the oesophageal appendages raised the possibility to place the species in a new genus. DNA sequencing was performed to provide molecular identifiers and to assess the generic placement of the species. The molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on a concatenation of the six genetic markers 12S, 16S, 18S, 28S, COI and H3 placed E. demutatus inside the well-supported (PP  =  0.99) Enchytraeus clade and not outside, hence the new species is to be considered a member of Enchytraeus. The tree includes species that cover a wide range of the morphological diversity in Enchytraeus; here E. demutatus sp. nov. groups with a sub-branch that includes the other bisetose species, also the fragmenting ones, but also one species with 3 chaetae per bundle; whereas species of the E. buchholzi-group and the E. albidus-group, respectively, form clades of their own. E. demutatus sp. nov. was found in soil samples derived from a tomato field of a private greenhouse farm in the regional division of Ilia, West Greece, together with abundant E. bigeminus.

description: The mineralogy, thermogravimetric behaviour, and δ2H and δ18O of <2μm size-fractions of Ordovician shales were analyzed from three different locations near Kincardine, Ontario. This location is the proposed site for a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) for Low & Intermediate Level Waste. Based on powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), the <2μm size-fraction of each unit was dominated by illite, with smaller amounts of kaolinite, and still smaller quantities of chlorite. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) undertaken in vacuo revealed multi-step weight loss patterns for these clay assemblages. Weight changes at the lowest temperatures were consistent with exchangeable cation-sensitive dehydration of surface-bound water. Stepped weight losses at higher temperatures were consistent with dehydroxylation patterns of illite, kaolinite and chlorite, as determined for standards from the Clay Mineral Society Source Clay Repository. These data guided removal of clay-bound surface water prior to extraction of hydroxyl group water when analyzing the oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of these low water-content shales. Clays in these Ordovician shales presumably formed during weathering of the east-coast Appalachian highlands of proto-North America. The δ2H and δ18O of the <2μm separates, however, do not plot on the clay weathering lines known for their major phases. This discrepancy is interpreted to indicate isotopic exchange (mostly of hydrogen) at temperatures typical of maximum burial at the DGR site (~90°C). The possibility of hydrogen isotope exchange between clay minerals and porewater in low water-content rocks has potential implications for preservation of original porewater isotopic compositions. This possibility should be tested in future work.

description: Sudan is endowed with large expanses of arable land, estimated at 80 million hectares-the largest in Africa. It has abundant supplies of water. Its livestock asset (estimated at 63 million heads) is the second largest in Africa, surpassed only by neighboring Ethiopia. The country's economy, hence, is almost entirely based on the agricultural sector. In 1993-1994, agriculture generated nearly 40 percent of the gross domestic product. The industrial sector, which is mostly agricultural-based, accounted for about 17.5 percent of the gross national product. The agricultural sector is also the source of virtually all ofthe country's export earnings. About four-fifths of the labor force ofthe country earns its living from farming and animal husbandry. The country, however, is increasingly impoverishing its agricultural resources through the promotion of environmentally destructive modes of production.
