Smart Bus Terminus: Sustainable Urban Public Transport Solution Through BIM and GIS Integrated Approach

Smart city / digital city is engaging in Big Data which will be utilized in monitoring and optimizing the urban systems to minimize resource consumption and maximize the quality of life. To implement the concept of “smart cities”, smart city components, design innovation and prototypes must be studied in detail which will be beneficial in understanding the features. India is moving towards becoming one of the developed nations, the source of revenue is highly dependent on public contributions, especially through the transportation sector. The population of India is majorly comprised of the middle-class income category. Their livelihood mainly depends on the regional level jobs and for commute, they prefer public transportation especially Buses. For lodging these buses that are huge in number, Bus Terminus become an integral infrastructure component. In Indian cities, the existing bus terminus appears to be poorly designed and highly congested irrespective of their sizes. Interventions of modern methodologies to improve the conditions in the existing bus terminus in various Indian cities and reconstructing them is of utmost priority for urban planners and policymakers to reach sustainable cities. The objective of adopting smart innovative solutions in Bus Terminus is to reduce pollution, congestion of traffic, improve safety, time optimization and cost reduction. Modern bus terminus must accommodate some key features such as green buildings and utilization of eco-friendly materials for construction, incorporating real-time response, installing solar panels for energy efficiency and power generation, waste segregation and recycling, the hybrid modal form of transport i.e., both traditional and electric vehicles, etc. In the present study, the attempt has been made to develop an artistic view of a “Smart Bus Terminus” prototype that can be adopted at regional and global levels. Autodesk REVIT Architecture and AutoCAD have been used to design and create 3D models; Geographical Information System tools have been adopted for the recommendation of site selection.

THE POETIC IMAGE OF A WOMAN IN ABAI’S WORKS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH PRE-ABAEV ARTISTIC TRENDS

Analyzing the evolution of artistic views on the image of Kazakh women in national art, we draw attention to the fact that the image of the steppe beauty is recreated in the binary opposition good / bad. Precisely in this way, the female character was stereotypically recreated by the poets of the pre-Abaev era. The character of the heroines is revealed in the female images, born by the pen of Abai, the psychological, emotional state, spirituality are conveyed. The portrait characteristic is remembered. This determines the importance of scientific understanding of how complex and multifaceted the images of women in the lyrics of Abai are. The main purpose of the article is a comprehensive examination of the artistic image of Kazakh women in the poetry of Abai, the identification of their typological features. The author of the article carried out a literary analysis of poems of a moral and psychological orientation in the work of poets, representatives of the author’s literature of the pre-Abaev period, defined artistic and aesthetic criteria and ideological orientation. The author conducts a comparative analysis of Abai’s poetic skill in conveying a female character, reveals and generalizes poetic traditions, reveals the skill of Bukhara, Aktamberdy, Shalgez, Shal akyn and Akan Seri, a prominent representative of sal-seri poetry. Important points in the creation of a gallery of ethically and aesthetically ideal female types, strong in spirit, striving to build their lives in a new way, are highlighted. The poet sings of the harmony of the mind, talent, character, beauty and wealth of the inner world. The new, feminist interpretation of Abay’s poetry, previously referred to as love lyrics, is of particular interest for Abay studies. In accordance with the purpose of the study, a comparative analysis of the poetry of zhyrau and the lyrics of Abai was carried out on the basis of objective-analytical, historical-literary and comparative-typological methods. Abay’s works, glorifying lyrical heroines, are conventionally divided into three groups. The process of transformation of the traditional female image into a deep, multifaceted image of a mother, into a complex, mysterious image of a beloved wife, friend, beautiful girl, muse is revealed. It has been convincingly proven that the poetic skill of Abay, who realistically captured the images of the heroines in their behavior and actions, influenced the poets of the Abay poetic school. The article is of scientific interest for young scientists interested in Abay studies.

Praxilla'sAdonisand the Female Voice: An Erotic “Reverse Priamel” in Sappho's Shadow and Nossis's Light

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the Adonis-fragment of Praxilla can be understood as an inverse priamel with allusions to Sappho and later echoes in Nossis. More specifically, a fragment composed by Praxilla is attached to a famous Sapphic poem, through the use of the priamel and the question of “what is the most beautiful.” The theme of both fragments is similar: love is a superior value. Praxilla's poetry emphasizes the importance of both spiritual and carnal erotic feelings. Furthermore, Nossis's connection to Praxilla's poem underscores the sensuality of its choices of diction. This exploration of the female poetic voice articulates the aesthetic views of women artists and their expression of feelings of sexual oppression in the context of ancient patriarchy in three different periods of antiquity.

Musical Performance in the Age of Postmodernism

The article is devoted to postmodernism musical performance. There was realized a comprehensive retrospective analysis of the phenomenon development from ancient period to nowadays. It was proved that in ancient times interpretation was explained as a form of mythological worldview embodiment; in the Middle Ages as a way of uniting man and God; in Rrenaissance as a means of harmonizing material and spiritual components of personality; in Baroque as a method of theatricality of person's existence; in Classicism as an opportunity to assert the power of human mind; Romanticism emphasized emotionality and subjectivity of concerting, the unique role of master; Modernism declared freedom of interpretation. Understanding the essence of musical performance with each historical stage became deeper, was enriched with new terminological, depth of scientific and theoretical understanding. The musical performance of postmodernism as a unique phenomenon has its own chronology of formation and development, based on achievements of previous epochs, transformed in accordance to philosophical aesthetics of the late XX century. Its outstanding constitutive qualities are: anthropology, religiosity, spirituality, meditation, improvisation, humanism, dialogicity, theatricality, rationalism, intellectualism, emotionality, playing, intertextuality, polystylistics etc. The performing art of postmodernism embodies the conceptual principles of its time: pluralism, irony, collage, synthesis, the death of the author, so on. It unites, eclectically mixes different artistic traditions and views, it forms a unique interpretive vision of musical text, demonstrates openness to dialogue with different historical epochs and civilizations, aimed at both the elite and the mass audience.

Art Nouveau in the context of realism: Ilya Repin at the turn of two centuries

The main subject of this research is the specificity of I. E. Repin's perception of the dynamics of artistic-aesthetic tasks formed under the influence of changing modernity. In view of this, one of the compositional centers of the research is the history of relationship that developed between I. E. Repin and the artists of the “first wave of symbolism” – members of the association “The World of Art” (primarily, the editor-in-chief of the eponymous journal S. P. Diaghilev, A. N. Benois, K. A. Somov, Y. Y. Lanceray). Special attention is given to the question of perception of I. E. Repin by certain representatives of the avant-garde in 1910s. Developing in the range “attraction – negation”, full of dramatic and comic moments, the dialogue between Repin and younger generation indicates the hastiness of univocal view of realism and Art Nouveau as opposing imagery systems. For the first time, on the current level of scientific comprehension of the aesthetics of symbolism and neo-romanticism, the article analyzes the attitude of I. E. Repin towards the innovative imagery pursuits of the Art Nouveau artists. At the same time, the very concept of Art Nouveau is interpreted in two dimensions: as a certain milestone in the context of the development of the history of art of the late XIX – early XX century; and as an inner dynamic potential embedded by I. E. Repin in his works since the beginning of his creative path. Based on systematization of the artistic and documentary sources and  the method of complex reconstruction of the views of Peredvizhniki and symbolist artists upon the objectives and nature of art, the author concludes that the poetics of art of Ilya Repin, synthesizing the ideas of time, tends to reflect a complicated and distinctive artistic image formed by realistic and idealistic principles.

Yesus Inang Tuak: Kajian Kristologis Postkolonial Feminis Dalam Upaya Merevitalisasi Lapo Tuak

The purpose of this article is to explore the reflection of feminist postcolonial Christology in the paintings of Emmaus – Emmanuel Garibay, which is creative, imaginative, provocative, and born from the painter's existential experience. I explored the views of theologians and artists about the painting to transform my thoughts as a Batak generation regarding the Christology doctrine, which is attached to human taste and culture, which Emanuel Gerrit Singgih called Jesus Inang tuak. Using the critical analysis, I found that the Christological reflection of Emmaus - Garibay's painting invites people to rethink the images of the life and work of Christ's ministry in the world using a postcolonial perspective. Jesus Inang tuak reflects feminist postcolonial Christology seeing Christ post-easter, which breaks the patriarchal view of Jesus and life and transforms the cultural community of society (especially the Batak people). This research will explore three primary aspects: the pros and cons of lapo tuak, the meaning of Emmaus' painting, and the reflection of feminist postcolonial Christology to revitalize the Batak people's lapo tuak.

Is there a gene for the human spirit? An analysis of the basic motifs and symbolism in the movie "Gattaca"

Gattaca (1997) represents an artistic view of a dystopian future in which the genetic engineering of humans is commonplace. Through the analysis of the ways in which motifs of discrimination and disability are used in this film, wider societal implications of the development of science and the consideration of humanity in western culture are considered. The paper discusses the argumentation for the idea that gene modification means espousing the role of the Creator, and seeks answers to the question of what it means to be human in a genetically deterministic world. The issue of new kinds of discrimination in a potential post-racial world is highlighted, and the possibility of achieving authenticity and the freedom to create one's own identity in a society wherein designed people are the norm is considered. Finally, the ideas and conclusions of numerous authors who dealt with the world of Gattaca are presented, and a new point of view is offered - one which puts the focus on the religious symbolism in the film, a surprisingly neglected motif in previous analyses.

Russian Animalistic Art of the 20th Century as a Special Kind of Fine Art

This article aims at analyzing the genre features of the 20th century animalistic art as a special, original phenomenon of Russian artistic culture. There are highlighted the aspects that make up its content basis. The author considers the issues of human perception of an animal, attitude to it, the system of views on the world of flora and fauna, the methods of interpretation of animals and birds. Together, they form the specific characteristics of animalistic art, which appeared in their organized and integral form in the 20th century. The article is relevant because the relationship between human and nature is being more and more re-evaluated, which is why the ideological features and the system of views of the 20th century artists are getting increasingly important (in particular, in the historical and artistic aspect).Animalistic art, having become noticeable as a genre already in the 18th century, passed through the entire 19th century, and crystallized in the 20th century in the most characteristic, typical features in various types of fine arts (graphics, painting, sculpture and their varieties). There is no doubt that among other genres of fine art, animalistic art is an original visual and plastic phenomenon that is fundamentally different from the art that depicts a person. The article notes that the complexity of animalistic art lies in the properties of human perception, which is prone to subjective evaluation and, accordingly, gives an animal human traits. The principle of “imitation” of nature, the study of nature, being constantly followed by artists, pointed to the overcoming of the subjective moment and became the leading one in composing the figurative concept of an animal.

“I’m an artist, but with other tools!”: Le Théâtre Aphasique and the intersection between artistic and clinical practices with people living with aphasia


 
 
 
 Theatre has come to be one of the main artistic ways to convey the voices of people with disability to the general audience, and this includes people with language and communication disorders. This article aims to describe and discuss the activities of Le Théâtre Aphasique, a non-profit organization located in several cities in Quebec that delivers dramatic art workshops to people with aphasia, an acquired language disorder. Our interest is to understand how this activity has become a successful phenomenon in different disciplines, with different a priori theoretic frameworks, such as disability arts as well as rehabilitation sciences. Specifically, we suggest that the complexity and means of this activity are indeed the cause of its success given that 1) it allows people with different communication abilities to participate, while 2) encouraging the presence of people with disabilities in the theatrical scene and 3) supporting the understanding and use of different communication styles, from both individual and social perspectives. We believe that a framework built upon social, artistic, and care-driven views of disability can account for the complexity of this activity and nourish further research into how different models of disability are integrated in the experience of people with aphasia.
 
 
 

“It is not a miracle, but grief...”: representations of Sergey Kozlov's on soteriological mission of the woman (based on the novella “Mother-Masha”)

This article analyzes the views of the contemporary Ugric writer Sergey Kozlov pertaining to mission of the women in 1990s – 2000s, which was the turning period for the country. The novella “Mother-Masha” demonstrates that it textual space, namely the woman becomes the symbol of justice of the Christian fabric of life, and is reflected in the sincere desire of the protagonist to establish good and justice in the world. The author contemplates on S. Kozlov's ideological and artistic views upon the role of the woman at the time of major transformations in the Russian history. Reference to the writer’s fictional prose, diaries, and interviews allows revealing the peculiarities of his axiological position in the context of the Russian philosophy of femininity. The scientific novelty of this research is substantiated by the need for articulation of the problem related to the study of specificity of female images in the creative heritage of Siberian writer Sergey Kozlov. Comprehensive analysis of the writer's novella “Mother-Masha” included into the book “Duty Angel” (2011) is carried out. The article introduces the sources, such as diary notes and interview materials, which have not been previously used in studying the works of S. Kozlov. The conclusion is made that soteriological mission was imposed on Mother Masha – the woman who proliferated the Divine Commandments to the world and is associated with the symbol of national salvation.

Recombination and Charge Collection at Nickel Silicide Precipitates in Silicon Studied by Electron Beam‐Induced Current

Nickel di-silicide layers have attracted scientific interest since the 1990’s as lattice-matched Schottky barriers on silicon and as strong carrier recombination centers when embedded in the silicon. High-resolution electron microscopy and electron beam-induced current are used by Philipp Saring and Michael Seibt (article number 2100142) to show that atomically thin silicide precipitates have properties similar to bulk nickel di-silicide in terms of the Schottky barrier height and electric conductivity. The cover image is an artistic view on processes of recombination and charge collection at thin silicide platelets. Experimental data are shown in front of the silicide’s atomic structure in silicon (image courtesy by L. Kroll).

МОТИВЫ ХРИСТИАНСКОЙ ЭТИКИ В ПОЭЗИИ С. ТОПЕЛИУСА

The article analyzes the motifs of Christian ethics in the poetry of a Finnish poet, writer, historian, and journalist Zacharias Topelius, whose artistic world view was shaped under the influence of the ideological and aesthetic Christian tradition. The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing interest in studying the representation of the motives of Christian morality in the works of European writers, as well as by the fact that the topic has not been sufficiently studied in Russia. References to the biblical texts enable us to trace the spiritual development of Topelius’s lyrical hero into the conscious cognition of his purpose. The author identifies the dominant set of Christian motifs represented by the motifs of purification and humility of soul through suffering. It is proved that Topelius’s works form a consistently built individual author’s model of the artistic embodiment of the main provisions of Christianity.

МИФОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ ВИДЕНИЕ С.Д. КРЖИЖАНОВСКОГО В КОНТЕКСТЕ РУССКОГО МОДЕРНИЗМА

Chronologically, S.D. Krzyzhanovsky’s work coincides with the time of the heyday of Russian modernism. The cultural and aesthetic heritage of the “Silver Age” had a significant influence on the formation of the writer’s artistic views. Krzyzhanovsky is in many ways a follower of the traditions of the Symbolists poets. From them, he borrows the idea of myth making. In his works, the author of “Tales for Prodigies” reinterprets traditional mythological subjects and images. The Ancient Greek myths, the Bible, fairy tales of “A Thousand and One Night” and other literary sources can be identi-fied as intertextual pretexts. By using them, he creates his own individual mythology. And for more than twenty years, the main scientific work related to the study of Krzyzhanovsky’s prose is the work of V. Toporov “Minus”-Space of Sigismund Krzyzhanovsky. The Toporov’s article explains the occur-rence of the “minus”-space in the artistic world of the writer. This problem has always remained out-side the scope of scientific research, both in Russian and foreign literature. Addressing this problem is explained by the need to reach a new conceptual level of research, implying the presence of other scientific perspectives and directions.

SEMANTICS OF POEM IN «DIV TICS OF POEM IN «DIVANI LUGATI-T-TURK»

Lyric songs depict how rich is the aesthetic taste of the Turkic peoples and their special love for verbal art for a long period, and the fact that they possessed artistic resources capable of competing with the most agile peoples of their time. Moreover, these songs illustrate the artistic views of the Turks. Pure lyrical experiences, with their novelty, the richness of images, and unique pathos, have always engaged the reader. The poetry of the Turkic peoples is studied as a separate phenomenon in the history of world literature. Mahmud Kashgari’s Divani lugat at-Turk provides extensive information about the foundations of Turkish poetry and its scope. We can see the first paradigms of lyric poetry in the oral poetry of the Turkic peoples in the Divani lugat at-Turk. As a great linguist of his time and an advanced thinker – Kashgari proves each word with its specific expression or a piece of poetry. Each poem in his work is unique regarding its artistic value and semantics. We can see this, especially in these lyrical poems. Even simple episodes in lyrical songs demonstrate the ability of our ancestors to express thoughts beautifully. The lyrical passages in the Divani lugat at-Turk consist of the description of the mistress, the sad moments of the separation of beloved ones, and the poems addressed to his beloved one. The issue of fine art and its location is noteworthy in them. The devices used in them play an essential role as the initial version in the context of the literature of the Turkic peoples. The author cites some examples of such poetic art: tashbih, oxymoron, metaphor, tajnis, repetition, hyperbole (mubalaga), irsali masal, etc. These devices were actively reflected in all types of poetry of the later period. This article discusses the semantics of lyrical poems in the Divani lugat at-Turk and reveals their fine art.
