Foreword to the Memorial issue honoring Ing. Jiří Čejka, DrSc. (1929–2025)

The sketches are the most important tool of memory for a painter. This belief is of particular importance in the case of Piotr Potworowski (1898–1962), the creator of the idiom of landscape painting, which is essential for Polish art and uses the language of abstraction. In his case, a sketch is, on the one hand, a more specific element of a complex artistic procedure related to memory mechanisms, and, on the other hand, it assumes the functions and a form of an independent trace that fits into the sequence of existential experiences. These aspects are fully expressed in the corpus of Potworowski’s sketches from 1952 to 1961, conceived as a whole, and contained in six 500-page volumes, which also includes notes of an intimate diary. Placed in a tin air suitcase, they are an archive of observations, reflections and expressions running between the artist’s life and work. From the perspective we take here, it is important that Potworowski’s writings contain ideas about the individual dimensions of the creative process, in which the issue of memory – although rarely taken directly – is one of the most important themes. The chapter contains a reconstruction of selected threads of the painter’s self-reflective thoughts on art and takes up the issue of the implementation of these postulates in artistic practice. It analyses the issues of microforming and autobiographical memory, temporal distance to the studied motif, contributing to the distillation of its visual form and different temporalities of the sketch and the image created on its basis.

The social sciences have experienced an unprecedented interest in the issue of collective memory dating back at least to the 1990s. There has been a veritable avalanche of studies into this topic, editorial series and periodicals have appeared devoted exclusively to it. Simulta- neously, an analysis of the literature on this topic shows that collective memory is not a partic- ularly frequent subject of political science research. It is therefore routine in many works of political scientists to acknowledge the limited number of studies on memory. All that does not mean that the trend has not begun slowly to change. The number of texts on the political as- pects of memory is systematically growing, there are editorial series and monographic issues of scientific periodicals concerning the issue of memory or the political instrumentalization of history. Political scientists are also co-authors of collective works and periodicals of an inter- disciplinary character. The objective of this paper is to analyze a single, but highly influential, issue related to political science research into memory, namely the topic of identity perceived from the perspective of collective memory. The purpose is not so much the exhaustive presen- tation of all the surveys into memory and collective identity in the field of political science but rather establishing the set of main concepts, themes and issues explored by political science literature written in English.

Memory and two seemingly incompatible phenomena, aptly capture the state of memory in contemporary Germany. The decade since German unification has seen a greatly increased public interest in issues of memory and commemoration, motivated by the reexamination of the history of the two Germanies and of the history of National Socialism from the perspective of post-unification Germany. Prominent examples are the ongoing debates about the urban reconstruction of the formerly divided city of Berlin, and specifically the decade-long controversy about design and construction of a Holocaust memorial in Berlin. This preoccupation with the past occurs within a political context in which a unified Germany, made up of a population more diverse than ever before, seeks to fashion a new national identity, a project which requires the negotiation of national symbols, traditions, and memories (Hobsbawm). The memory boom is thus both a symptom of and a response to a memory crisis, that is, a lack of societal consensus about what constitute shared traditions in unified Germany.1 Within this larger context of a memory boom in contemporary Germany, I look at the role of literary discourse and gendered notions of individual versus public forms of memory. Feminist insights in the genderedness of the public/private opposition are by now widely accepted; yet most of the oft-quoted theorists of memory (e.g., Benjamin, Halbwachs, Nora, Jan and Aleida Assmann, among others) have not given much consideration to the ways their concepts of personal and collective memory are inflected in different ways by gender. These seemingly gender-neutral theories of memory contrast with numerous case studies in the area of literary and studies which look at the role of gender and memory in particular contexts (Alphen, Hirsch, Remmler, Weigel, among others). Drawing on these case studies in my analysis of contemporary literary texts, this article looks at intersections of gender and memory within the context of the unified Germany in the 1990s. Within this particular context, I examine a common assertion among scholars from various disciplines, namely that it is the role of literature to work against cultural amnesiathe flip-side of memory-that is manifest especially at times of historical change.2 Memory published in the last decade in Germany include oral and histories, autobiographical and literary texts, and a hybrid genre that undercuts clear distinctions between real and fictional realms. These texts often comment on the processes of memory and the ways memory is rooted in the power of imagination and interpretation. To the extent they reflect on the processes of reconstructing and making sense of the past, these texts can be also considered metahistorical narratives, to use Linda Hutcheon's term (1990). This article looks at two recent examples of this hybrid genre both of which were widely discussed in the German media: Monika Maron's Pawels Briefe (PB, 1999) and Martin Walser's Ein springender Brunnen (SB, 1998). The considerable public attention these texts received results from the fact that two highly visible and at times controversial authors reflect on the German past at a time when the memory of the new, unified German nation is being renegotiated. In markedly different ways, both authors revisit the period of National Socialism and, in Maron's case, East German Socialism as well, via family and childhood narratives. I therefore submit that these texts are symptomatic for two diverging literary representations of recent German history and for two diverging approaches to issues of gender, identity and memory. The way this nexus of gender, identity and memory plays out in these two texts is informed (but not solely determined) by the authors' positionality Differences do not only include the authors' gender but also their generational affiliation (Maron was born in 1941, Walser in 1928), the geopolitical context (Maron grew up in East Germany, Walser in West Germany), and their families' situation in Nazi-Germany: Walser's parents were neither actively involved in the persecution of Jews and others nor in anti-Nazi resistance. …

PurposeThe average employee spends a total of 18.6 h every two months on password-related activities, including password retries and resets. The problem is caused by the user forgetting or mistyping the password (usually because of character switching). The source of this issue is that while a password containing combinations of lowercase characters, uppercase characters, digits and special characters (LUDS) offers a reasonable level of security, it is complex to type and/or memorise, which prolongs the user authentication process. This results in much time being spent for no benefit (as perceived by users), as the user authentication process is merely a prerequisite for whatever a user intends to accomplish. This study aims to address this issue, passphrases that exclude the LUDS guidelines are proposed.Design/methodology/approachTo discover constructs that create security and to investigate usability concerns relating to the memory and typing issues concerning passphrases, this study was guided by three theories as follows: Shannon’s entropy theory was used to assess security, chunking theory to analyse memory issues and the keystroke level model to assess typing issues. These three constructs were then evaluated against passwords and passphrases to determine whether passphrases better address the security and usability issues related to text-based user authentication. A content analysis was performed to identify common password compositions currently used. A login assessment experiment was used to collect data on user authentication and user – system interaction with passwords and passphrases in line with the constructs that have an impact on user authentication issues related to security, memory and typing. User–system interaction data was collected from a purposeful sample size of 112 participants, logging in at least once a day for 10 days. An expert review, which comprised usability and security experts with specific years of industry and/or academic experience, was also used to validate results and conclusions. All the experts were given questions and content to ensure sufficient context was provided and relevant feedback was obtained. A pilot study involving 10 participants (experts in security and/or usability) was performed on the login assessment website and the content was given to the experts beforehand. Both the website and the expert review content was refined after feedback was received from the pilot study.FindingsIt was concluded that, overall, passphrases better support the user during the user authentication process in terms of security, memory issues and typing issues.Originality/valueThis research aims at promoting the use of a specific type of passphrase instead of complex passwords. Three core aspects need to be assessed in conjunction with each other (security, memorisation and typing) to determine whether user-friendly passphrases can support user authentication better than passwords.

This Theme Issue is dedicated to the memory of Tom Duke, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 48. Tom made lasting contributions to a broad range of topics and was highly regarded for his very elegant approaches that unravel key physical principles underlying the function of biological systems.

Characterizing inter- and intra-individual differences in migraine-related cognitive symptoms and impairment across the migraine cycle: An analysis of the MiCOAS qualitative project (P7-12.007)

Biologics and molecular recognition: Mike Brigham‐Burke memorial issue

People with memory disorders have difficulty adhering to treatments. With technological advances, it remains important to investigate the potential of health information technology (HIT) in supporting medication adherence among them. This review investigates the role of HIT in supporting adherence to medication and therapies among patients with memory issues. It also captures the factors that impact technology adherence interventions. We searched the literature for relevant publications published until March 15, 2023, using technology to support adherence among patients with memory issues (dementia, Alzheimer's, amnesia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, etc.). The review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We conducted a quality assessment of the papers following the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Fifteen studies were included after carefully reviewing the 3,773 articles in the search. Methodological quality, as appraised, ranged from 80 to 100% with eight studies rated 100%. The studies overall did not have a high risk of bias. Thus, all of the 15 studies were included. Technologies investigated were classified into four groups based on their impact: therapeutic patient education, simplifying treatment regimens, early follow-up visits and short-term treatment goals, and reminder programs. Different technologies were used (automatic drug dispensers or boxes, mobile health-based interventions, game-based interventions, e-health-based interventions, patient portals, and virtual reality). The factors impacting patients' adherence to technology-based treatment and medication were clustered into human-computer interaction and integration challenges. This study contributes to the literature by classifying the technologies that supported medication adherence among patients with memory issues in four groups. It also explores and presents the possible limitations of existing solutions to drive future research in supporting care for people with memory disorders.

It is a great pleasure for us to present a collection of recent papers that were submitted to the special issue of Gels, Advancements in Gel Science-A Special Issue in Memory of Toyoichi Tanaka [...].

Ruth Behar, a Cuban-born immigrant to the US with Polish, Jewish, and Turkish background, begins her memoir Travelling Heavy. A Memoir In Between Journeys, published in 2013, with the following citation “I love to travel. But I’m also terrified of traveling” (3). Later she describes the “various good luck rituals” that she performs before starting a journey such as checking if she has her “Turkish evil eye bracelet,” “a handmade necklace […] to be protected from illness or sudden death” or “rubbing the turquoise glass beads to keep the plane from falling out of the sky” (3). She links all these habits to both her Jewish and Cuban ancestry. And although she calls herself a professional traveler, she also describes herself as a “an anthropologist who specializes in homesickness,” which perfectly reveals the contradictions related to the notion of travelling. As a relatively new phenomenon, available and affordable to few, travelling can be an exciting, desired and adventurous experience that opens us up to diversity and enriches us. At the same time since it involves meeting with the Other it can be a threatening and exhausting incident that causes nostalgia for home. Hence, the journey is an existential experience including the change, the philosophical exploration of oneself, search for and dissemination of knowledge, and a sense of discovery (actual of places and communities and symbolical of cultural values and ideas). In this paper I am going to analyze Behar’s writings as narratives representing fictitious fragments of experienced or/and imagined realities (Letters from Cuba 2020) vs. non-fictional dimension of memoir or travel writing (Travelling Heavy 2013). Still, what joins the two types of narratives is the issue of memory – how/what do we remember? How are our memories changing depending on time and person we relate them to?

Bram Stoker incorporated the aristocratic character in the tradition of vampire literature with late nineteenth-century ideologies by making Victorian bourgeois write about the historical figure, Count Dracula, in the novel. Taking the issue of memory as the point of departure, this research explores the significance of the narrators’ recording and filing behavior and how it represents the work ethic the Victorian professionals follow. This thesis analyzes the antagonism between the vampire Count and the Van Helsing crew by inquiring into the latter’s compulsive clerical work, and further discloses its significance in the economic history. The first chapter discusses the issue of memory from both the textual level and the story level, and then elucidates the truth production and knowledge management in Van Helsing crew’s recording and filing work. The second chapter reconsiders the binary oppositions presumed in most Dracula studies about the power relations in the novel, and concludes that the power relationship between them is in fact an “inclusive exclusion,” a conflict within the capitalist system. The third chapter compares different management techniques implemented by the two parties analogically to the modes of production before and after Industrial Revolution. This chapter examines the new mode of work rationality that consequent in Victorian professionals’ reliance upon machines and their excessive clerical work. Intriguingly, this particular work rationality paradoxically defeats the purpose of scientific management by generating redundant work. With the discussions in these three chapters, this thesis will offer an interpretation of how vampirism echoes in the novel by participating in the perpetual motion of the energy exchange between memory and truth, boundary drawing and crossing, as well as body and machine.
