The real lives of street art artists: testimonies and writings
Creators: name: Gerini, Christian
name: Chateau, Antoine
Publisher: name: GSA - Graffiti and Street Art
Year: 2023

description: The experiences of the street artists and the graffiti ones– which often began with vandal graffiti and repressed by law – are an essential element of the history of graffiti and street art of the last sixty years, as of the evolution of their art and so of the street art itself.  However, to write this “real” story, one must have made an anthropological approach of the graffiti world, on the field work, by watching them act, by listening to them, by collecting their testimonies and life stories. As it is also necessary to have read their possible writings, on the web, in their fanzines, and even in articles or books that they have sometimes published themselves. Here one will find in a first part an obviously non-exhaustive inventory of this work that we have been carrying out for thirty years. And in a second part an amazing example. That of Antoine Château, a vandal graffiti artist in his teen ager years, and today an art teacher in high school and in other structures where he teaches young people both the practice of graffiti and its history: it is therefore himself, co-author of this article, who wrote the second part.

Urban Art Laboratory as a Form of Engaging with Everyday Life
Creators: name: Nenko, Oleksandra
Publisher: name: GSA - Graffiti and Street Art
Year: 2023

description: The paper reflects upon my curatorial experience in aninterdisciplinaryurbanart laboratory “The 25 Lines”, which was a 2,5 months collective process takingplace in St. Petersburg on the verge of 2020-20211. The main thesis of the lab was Guy Debord’s statement “Art should return to everyday life” and its main focus was the everydayness of the lines (the streets) of Vasilevsky island. The paper is based on the sociomantic analysis of 40 participants’writtenstatements and 25 artifacts resulting from their engagement with the lines, as well as my personal and my fellow curators’ experiences. In the paper I describe the processuality of the lab, which was built as an intermixture of studies in critical urban theory and performative situated practices, the complexity of this design creating a shared conceptual ground and lived experience space for participants with diverse backgrounds - from performative arts to anthropology. I articulate different research techniques (e.g. drift, dialogue, rhythm analysis, emotional mapping) used by participants to explore the everydayness of the 25 lines and discover their polysemy, human and non-human dynamics, complexity of relations and metaphoricity of their symbolic and material landscapes. I discuss the emergent 25 artifacts, which translated sensual and conceptual experiences of everydayness into a variety of forms - games, installations, artbooks, alternative maps, video-guides, and sculptures. I specifically underline how the emergent artworks broadcasted the direct speech and materiality of the line’s inhabitants’ worlds, places of memory, maps of movements, and other traces of everyday life, otherwise hidden and unrecognized. I summarize by considering the urban art lab as an educational and community-making format linking art, urban studies and everyday lifecriticalreflection,andprovidingspacetoenvision an alternative culture of urban space.

“Red Dot Theory”
Creators: name: MVIN, Bertrand
Publisher: name: GSA - Graffiti and Street Art
Year: 2023

description: The project was divided into two distinct parts:
1. The street performance that consisted of painting the “red dot” hundreds of thousands of times all over the city to achieve a noticeable “visual invasion” and stimulate public reactions,
2. The artistic documentation that led to the creation of a serie of multimedia works, sometimes interactives, addressing various sociological, urban, and anthropological topics, as well as several artistic notions such as symbolism or situationism.

This artist talk will begin by providing an introduction to the performance’s process and protocol. This will be followed by a curated selection of the artist’s project documentation and related multimedia works, which will offer an in-depth exploration and a focus on its interactivity with the public.

Finally, as a brief conclusion, we will witness the seamless alignment of “The Red Dot Theory” with the conference theme of “Numbers,” opening the door to a wider discussion. Through its deconstruction of tagging, the project showcases the influential role of numerical elements in urban creativity,  exemplified by the symbolic visual invasion of countless “red dots” throughout Barcelona.

description: Tapicería Juan Luis is an independent exhibition project inaugurated in Malaga (Spain) on April 1, 2023. It develops from a relationship of more than 6 months with an old upholsterer diagnosed with a personality disorder.

Initially, the study arises due to the typographical and compositional interest that we feel when observing the way in which this subject arranges a series of posters and claim documents on the facade of his home, which, in the past, had functioned as his upholstery. The fact of using the public-private space for a personal matter aroused our interest immediately, and we decided to start investigating about it.

description: Street Culture, compose of Hip Hop, Graffiti, Skateboarding and more, has impacted many aspects of popular culture today. In this essay, I would set Street Culture as complex of creative activities and by comparing with Kabuki culture, I would like to see their common points as cultural phenomena. And at the same time, seeking the origin of Street Culture’s mindset into their experience: Great Alienation. With this point of view, I would like to point out what is the unique point of Street Culture from the others. And I would try to foresee which direction Street Culture might take in the future and how it can be staying as unique phenomena.

Urban creativity between metropolitan and museum space
Creators: name: Mone, Erica
Publisher: name: GSA - Graffiti and Street Art
Year: 2023

description: For some people if it is not illegal then it is not Street Art, but is that really the case or are other factors at play? Today there is a lot of discussion about Street Art, however is it talked about properly and in the correct way? How much does myth condition and influence our interpretations of this language? We talk about an art form seen as a voice of protest, of the people, of the marginalized, of those whom society relegates to the slums. An expression apt to convey messages as immediate as they are strong in order to reach everyone, without social or hierarchical differentiation. It is not an elitist art; on the contrary, it is the art of the people. For the first time, we are talking about an artistic language that truly enacts a process of “cultural democratization”. Often placed in open contrast to every inherent form of the social, cultural, artistic, and political system. Simplicity and immediacy have gone on to form solid foundations on which this movement still stands today. Like any self-respecting artistic innovation and avant-garde, this phenomenon is also in danger of being sucked, voluntarily or involuntarily, into the system that was initially so criticized. After all, even the well-known gallerist Steve Lazarides said, “Nothing in the history of art has remained underground forever. Evolving is part of a normal process of growth”. In this way, street art is commodified within a vicious circle made up of economies of unreachable value, implicated in the well-known gallery-exhibition-market mechanism, a context of which it was initially proposed not to be a part. Currently we are witnessing an increasing number of initiatives promoted by institutions and local authorities that feature precisely street art as a means of redeveloping dangerous or degraded areas. It frequently happens to see new “street art” exhibitions inaugurated at museums and galleries. A sort of recognition of its intrinsic value manifested through the misuse of words like “institutionalization” and “legitimization”. For many it would seem a paradox: an art born against institutions now operates alongside them. However, how much can this phenomenon of institutionalization be considered negative for urban creativity and actually paradoxical? Artists are well aware of their own work while art-experts in the field admit how much the so-called “Institutionalization of Street Art” is nothing more than a natural development that came about spontaneously and that the real problems are actually quite different.

description: Transmission spectroscopy has been a workhorse technique over the past two decades to constrain the physical and chemical properties of exoplanet atmospheres. One of its classical key assumptions is that the portion of the atmosphere it probes -- the terminator region -- is homogeneous. Several works in the past decade, however, have put this into question for highly irradiated, hot ($T_{eq}\gtrsim 1000$ K) gas giant exoplanets both empirically and via 3-dimensional modelling. While models predict clear differences between the evening (day-to-night) and morning (night-to-day) terminators, direct morning/evening transmission spectra in a wide wavelength range has not been reported for an exoplanet to date. Under the assumption of precise and accurate orbital parameters on WASP-39 b, here we report the detection of inhomogeneous terminators on the exoplanet WASP-39 b, which allows us to retrieve its morning and evening transmission spectra in the near-infrared ($2-5\ μ$m) using JWST. We observe larger transit depths in the evening which are, on average, $405 \pm 88$ ppm larger than the morning ones, also having qualitatively larger features than the morning spectrum. The spectra are best explained by models in which the evening terminator is hotter than the morning terminator by $177^{+65}_{-57}$ K with both terminators having C/O ratios consistent with solar. General circulation models (GCMs) predict temperature differences broadly consistent with the above value and point towards a cloudy morning terminator and a clearer evening terminator.

description: Datasets on the amounts of different medicines used over time and location are a valuable resource, with the power to reveal insights into healthcare trends, cost efficiencies, and geographic disparities. In England, primary care prescription data has been openly accessible for analysis for some time through a web tool, providing significant benefits. Since 2020, the National Health Service in England has also released data on secondary care medicine usage, processed from stock control databases, which provides detailed information on medicine usage within hospitals. This is an important dataset, but until now has been available only in a raw form that requires considerable technical skills to be used for even the analysis of basic trends. I have built a web application that enables anyone to easily analyse trends in this data, which is available at hospitalmedicines.genomium.org.

description: The significant part of the operational context for autonomous company management systems is the regulatory and legal environment in which corporations operate. In order to create a dedicated operational context for autonomous artificial intelligence systems, the wording of local regulatory documents can be simultaneously presented in two versions: for use by people and for use by autonomous systems. In this case, the artificial intelligence system will get a well-defined operational context that allows such a system to perform functions within the required standards. Local regulations that provide basis for the joint work of individuals and autonomous artificial intelligence systems can form the grounds for the relevant legislation governing the development and implementation of autonomous systems.

For a Nuanced Appreciation of Urban Creativity
Creators: name: Baldini, Andrea Lorenzo
Publisher: name: GSA - Graffiti and Street Art
Year: 2023

description: Why should we have a journal dedicated solely to graffiti and street art? This essay defends the rationale for establishing GSA. Since the rise to prominence of street artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey, there has been renewed interest in urban creativity. In many major cities around the world, city walls have been transformed into canvasses for artistic expression. However, these works do not fall into the same category. Graffiti and street art belong to a specific kind. I argue that graffiti and street art are forms of art whose primary function is to challenge the dominant order of visibility in urban spaces. They embody the art of social subversion. Often, for various reasons, works of official public art are miscategorized as street art. But rather than being subversive, official public art aims at establishing a new order of visibility. It is the art of social change. My interest in developing an account distinguishing between graffiti and street art, on the one hand, and official public art, on the other hand, is not purely theoretical.; it is also practical. I'd like to develop a distinction that can help us better appreciate different types of urban art while also securing discursive and critical spaces that are unique to each kind. Throwing everything into the same pot risks losing some of the unique characteristics of these various art forms. A more nuanced account, instead, may have a positive effect on cultural and urban policies regulating creative expression in the city.

description: The objective of Work Package 7 (WP7) is to study, from the perspective of European Union citizenship, specific problems individuals face in exercising their civil rights and liberties in areas which fall within, but also in areas that lie beyond the scope of EU law.

After the prior identification and critical assessment of the nature and scope of the civil rights that citizens are entitled to (task and deliverable 7.1), the modes of transposition and the mechanisms available at EU level and national levels for granting and enforcing civil rights were explored, with a view to identifying institutional, legal, procedural and practical barriers that EU citizens and third-country nationals face in gaining access to justice (task and deliverable 7.2). The ultimate objective of WP7 is to analyse possible limitations and restrictions of different natures that undermine the effective exercise of these rights, on the basis of four in-depth case studies. The case studies to be undertaken within the Work Package relate to i) an exploration of the obstacles that citizens face in trying to enjoy their core citizenship rights (task 7.3), (ii) an exploration of the difficulties faced by EU citizens when trying to enjoy the freedom of expression in the context of media law and policies (task 7.4), (iii) a study of obstacles that (mobile) EU citizens and their families face in dealing with life events (task 7.5), and iv) a study on obstacles that (mobile) EU citizens and their families face in gaining access to travel documents (task 7.6).

It was decided in July 2015 at the bEUcitizen WP meetings in Zagreb that the partner institutions participating in task 7.6 would be UA, UU, CEU, UCPH and UNITN (replacing the earlier designated UNIOVI). Consequently, country reports were to be produced on, respectively, Belgium, the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark and Italy. In keeping with the approach adopted in the WP thus far, the task leader (UA) drafted the following questionnaire for the purpose of drawing up country reports, a first draft of which was disseminated in June 2015 and the final version in August 2015. The current general report draws together the threads from the individual country reports that were compiled at the end of 2015. While its main aim, in line with the WP objective, is to identify possible barriers, the conclusions also contain some (policy) recommendations and suggestions for lowering or eliminating these.

description: Two common reef fishes, the bluehead wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum) and the bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus), are used as model species for understanding the function of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). These species have contrasting life histories, which represent a spectrum of common life histories of reef fish. Here, the early life history, habitat associations, and population genetics of these two common reef fishes, in the northwestern GOM are examined to help acquire a better understanding of the nursery, or larval settlement, value of the region. Because the banks examined here are near the northern limits of reef coral growth, and are isolated from other nursery areas such as seagrasses or mangroves they could serve as stepping stones for replenishment and dispersal of larvae throughout this region. East Flower Garden Banks (EFGB) and West Flower Garden Banks (WFGB) are both dominated by scleractinian corals, with higher rugosity, or more varied substrate topography, while Stetson Bank and Sonnier Bank are both dominated by rock, sand, and algae cover, and have lower average rugosities. There does not appear to be a clear substrate preference for either species post-settlement in this region. There was a significant difference in density of bicolor damselfish between banks, but not for bluehead wrasse. There was a significant difference in PLD of bluehead wrasse between banks but not for bicolor damselfish. Bluehead wrasse exhibit a longer less variable PLD than bicolor damselfish. Back-calculations suggested a slightly higher length-at-settlement value for bluehead wrasse compared to surrounding regions, and bicolor damselfish showed an average length-at-settlement value about twice that of surrounding regions. The bicolor damselfish examined here show evidence of local retention while the bluehead wrasse show evidence or broader dispersal, this further supports studies done in surrounding regions such as the Caribbean.

description: Abstract

High-throughput affinity and mass-spectrometry-based proteomic studies of large clinical cohorts generate vast proteomic data and can enable rapid disease biomarker discovery. Here, we introduce an advanced machine learning (ML) workflow designed to streamline the ML analysis of proteomics data, thus enabling researchers to efficiently leverage sophisticated algorithms in the search for critical disease biomarkers. 

The workflow: takes proteomic data and sample labels as input, imputing missing values where necessary; pre-processes the data for ML models and optionally performs dimensionality reduction; makes available as standard a catalogue of machine learning and deep learning classification and regression models, including both well established and cutting-edge methods; calculates accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of models, enabling the evaluation and comparison of models based on these metrics; and carries out feature selection in models using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values. In addition to these ML capabilities, the workflow also provides downstream modules for functional enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses of feature-selected proteins. 

The workflow is implemented in Python, R and Workflow Description Language (WDL), and can be executed on a cloud-based platform for biomedical data analysis. Deployment in this manner provides a standardized, user-friendly interface, and ensures the reproducibility and reliability of analytical outputs. Furthermore, such deployment renders the workflow scalable and streamlines the analysis of large, complex proteomic data. This ML workflow thus represents a significant advancement, empowering researchers to efficiently explore proteomic landscapes and identify biomarkers critical for early detection and treatment of diseases.
The Humanitarian Vehicle Routing Problem with Non-Routineness of Trips

description: The escalating frequency and impact of natural disasters have necessitated the study of Humanitarian Logistics (HL) optimization to mitigate human and financial losses. This dissertation encompasses three pivotal studies that collectively seek to address some of the numerous gaps identified in the nascent literature of HL optimization, particularly in conflict-ridden and low-security environments. The first study conducts a comprehensive survey on the application of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods in HL, identifying a significant gap between academic research and practical challenges, and highlighting underexplored areas within multicriteria optimization in HL. The second study introduces innovative deterministic and possibilistic models to improve the safety and security of humanitarian personnel by developing a vehicle routing model that minimizes the predictability of trips, a novel aspect in HL research. This includes the introduction of the Humanitarian Vehicle Routing Problem with Non-Routineness of Trips (HVRPNRT), creation of a unique index to measure trip routineness and the provision of an approximate closed-form solution for the aid allocation subproblem, and introduces a novel case study from the ongoing civil unrest in South Sudan. The third study presents a novel heuristic solution algorithm for the HVRPNRT, which is the first of its kind, and outperforms the commercial solver CPLEX on some instances. This algorithm offers near-optimal solutions with reduced computational times and maintains feasibility under stringent security conditions, thereby advancing the field of security-aware HL optimization. Collectively, these studies offer significant contributions to the field of HL optimization, providing a recent through survey of the field, novel practical models, methodologies, and an algorithm that address both operational efficiency and security challenges, in an effort to bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world humanitarian needs.

description: This thesis contains the first sixteen chapters of a novel about retired urban vigilante Ted Walker and the nephew who unwisely chooses to follow in his footsteps. When a night of crime-fighting ends with his nephew in the hospital, Ted takes it upon himself to seek justice, an investigation that will force him to face the mistakes of his past and the consequences he still can't escape today. The story spans nearly 30 years of Ted Walker's life, revisiting the highs and the very, very deep lows of his career and following him into today's real-life superhero subculture. Along the way, he faces angry relatives, a former sidekick, an old nemesis and the new world of 21st century online media. It's a novel about family, responsibility, atonement and what happens to American heroes when we don't need them anymore.
Democratic Parliamentary Control In Times Of Crisis (Deliverable 8.5)

description: This report provides a comparative analysis which tests the analytical framework that was advanced in the bEUcitizen report ‘Constraints imposed by financial markets on political choice in the EU’ (Deliverable 8.1.), which focused on whether and how the meaningful exercise of European political citizenship has been constrained by financial market developments in the context of the euro crisis. The focus is on Austria, Finland, Ireland and Slovakia, which represent four smaller EU member states witnessing strong politicization around the issue of euro area crisis decision-making, notably the provision of financial assistance. The individual case studies demonstrate how each constituency responded to the challenge financial markets posed to decision-makers and how this and the multi-level and decentralized EU economic governance structure impacted on the meaningful exercise of core political rights. The report concludes that the euro crisis posed no threat to the formal validity of core citizenship rights. However, it is shown in relation to each country setting that the limitation of viable political alternatives in electoral competition, the influential role of executive actors and bureaucratic transnational European elites as well as secrecy practices and in some cases the lack of appropriate accountability structures restrict the meaningful exercise of European political citizenship.

description: Receptor function is dependent on interaction with various intracellular proteins that ensure the localization and signaling of the receptor. While a number of approaches have been optimized for the isolation, purification, and proteomic characterization of receptor–protein interaction networks (interactomes) in cells, the capture of receptor interactomes and their dynamic properties remains a challenge. In particular, the study of interactome components that bind to the receptor with low affinity or can rapidly dissociate from the macromolecular complex is difficult. Here we describe how chemical crosslinking (CC) can aid in the isolation and proteomic analysis of receptor–protein interactions. The addition of CC to standard affinity purification and mass spectrometry protocols boosts the power of protein capture within the proteomic assay and enables the identification of specific binding partners under various cellular and receptor states. The utility of CC in receptor interactome studies is highlighted for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor as well as several other receptor types. A better understanding of receptors and their interactions with proteins spearheads molecular biology, informs an integral part of bench medicine which helps in drug development, drug action, and understanding the pathophysiology of disease.
GLIM: 3D Range-Inertial Localization and Mapping with GPU-Accelerated Scan Matching Factors

description: This article presents GLIM, a 3D range-inertial localization and mapping framework with GPU-accelerated scan matching factors. The odometry estimation module of GLIM employs a combination of fixed-lag smoothing and keyframe-based point cloud matching that makes it possible to deal with a few seconds of completely degenerated range data while efficiently reducing trajectory estimation drift. It also incorporates multi-camera visual feature constraints in a tightly coupled way to further improve the stability and accuracy. The global trajectory optimization module directly minimizes the registration errors between submaps over the entire map. This approach enables us to accurately constrain the relative pose between submaps with a small overlap. Although both the odometry estimation and global trajectory optimization algorithms require much more computation than existing methods, we show that they can be run in real-time due to the careful design of the registration error evaluation algorithm and the entire system to fully leverage GPU parallel processing.

description: This dissertation spotlights the lived and inherited experiences of Black women as they navigate engagements with obstetricians, gynecologists, and other women’s health care providers in conjunction with a rhetorical analysis of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Relying on rhetorical analysis and situated within a Black feminist epistemological standpoint, this study examines interviews with Black women who have had negative experiences in women’s health care, often specifically with an OBGYN. The insights gained from those interviews provide an entry toward better understandings of the way rhetorical constructions of race shape interactions between Black women and their health care providers. Comparing those insights with the rhetorical constructions of race used in OBGYN research, this dissertation argues for more research based in a social constructivist perspective and offers the opportunity to learn from Black women’s experiential knowledge in dialogic renegotiations of the meaning of race and its role in health and wellness.
title: Vox Populi: The Classical Idiom in Early American Public Opinion Articles, 1789-1791

Subjects: subject: United States--History
subject: Classical antiquity
subject: Republicanism
subject: First Federal Congress
subject: Printing – United States – 18th Century
subject: Political Culture – 18th Century

description: This thesis serves as an examination of the debates which took place in the public discourse during the First Federal Congress (1789-1791), by examining public opinion articles written in newspapers. The authors’ use of the classics reveals a sense of knowledge of the classical idiom among those participating in the public discourse. Issues discussed included location of the national capital, public funding, Indian treaties, and slavery. In each case, the classical idiom played an important part in the debate. This thesis is meant to convey a slice of the ideological motivations in the public discourse and in turn, demonstrate how inclusive or exclusive the scope of public opinion was among the larger population.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and motivational factors that influenced educational and career decisions of United States military veterans who transitioned out of the military and into an information technology (IT)-related career field. The study investigated the reasons veterans decided to pursue IT-related careers, the reasons they selected their educational programs to gain entry into the field, how they described their experiences within those programs, and how satisfied they have been during the entry-level phase of their career. Veterans who served in IT-related career fields during their time in the military were not included in this study. This case study presents the perspectives of 12 veterans who successfully transitioned out of the military, completed one of several educational pathways, and attained their goal of working in an IT-related career field. Several findings emerged as a result. Veterans who participated in this study were satisfied with their decisions to pursue careers in the IT workforce. They approached career transitions from different situations, and those situations influenced the decisions they made and pathways they pursued to find success. The participants based their decisions to pursue their overarching goal of working in an IT-related career on internal or value-based motivations; however, when selecting an educational pathway to attain that goal, they deliberately considered the practicality of their circumstances. In addition, participants attributed part of their success to personal motivations, helpful strategies, and external support. Ultimately, future transitioning veterans can learn several lessons from these findings regarding career assessment and counseling, considerations for pathway selection, and elements of success.

description: Peacebuilding and conflict resolution is an exciting field of study and engagement. But trying to find out if peacebuilding efforts are really making a difference is often a tedious and painful process for many project managers and practitioners. This is especially true for peace and conflict resolution projects that operate in real-world conflict and fragile settings as these often pose serious and unique challenges to existing evaluation methodologies. This dissertation investigates the experiences of civil society organizations (CSOs) in evaluating their peacebuilding efforts by exploring their understanding of key evaluation issues and how these relate to peacebuilding and evaluation theory and practice. The central question that frames this study is: How do CSOs working in conflict and fragile settings in Mindanao want to improve evaluation to support peacebuilding efforts in that region? This qualitative study elicits the tacit knowledge of CSOs and their subjective understandings on how they think their peace projects are making a difference in addressing conflicts in their respective contexts, based on how they conduct evaluations. The study gathers data on at least three spheres of CSO endeavor: peacebuilding efforts, evaluation practices, and CSO understanding of key evaluation issues, dimensions, or concepts such as: causation, impact, attribution/ contribution, effectiveness/ success, issue of transfer, complexity, sustainability/ adaptability to change; and the effects on drivers of conflict. Data gathered on these key evaluation issues are used as a set of lenses for guiding the process of inquiry in scrutinizing evaluation approaches and challenges, and the possible improvements to make evaluation more supportive of peacebuilding efforts. The knowledge shared by CSOs based on their own experiences of peacebuilding and doing evaluations, compared with the current state of peacebuilding and evaluation theory, generates new insights that can provide some clarification on the commonly contentious issues in the evaluation of peacebuilding efforts, thereby enriching the peacebuilding and evaluation fields as a whole.
