VISUALISASI 3D JAM GADANG BUKITTINGGI DENGAN KONSEP VIRTUAL REALITY BERBASIS ANDROID

The research is titled "Implementation of 3D Visualization on the Tourist Attraction of Jam Gadang Bukittinggi with Android-Based Virtual Reality Concept." The main issue addressed in this study is the physical limitation faced by visitors who seek to understand the spatial conditions and information about the Jam Gadang building, resulting in suboptimal services. Consequently, visitors to Jam Gadang must obtain a special permit from the Tourism Office of Bukittinggi to access and ascend the building to its summit. Therefore, an Android-based Virtual Reality application is needed to allow users to comprehend the spatial conditions and information by virtually entering and ascending the Jam Gadang building without the need to be physically present. Information will be presented in the form of panels within the virtual environment, accompanied by a narrated voice.

Revisiting the Realism/Modernism Debate: Marxist Thought and the Ethics of Representation

In Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth-Century Literature (2005), Nicholas Brown remarks on the difference between realism and modernism as one that expresses a conflict between “a responsibility to historical truth” and “a fidelity to the formal energies released by the emergence of a form of subjectivity liberated (or alienated) from historical consciousness” (182). This raises several issues that might be useful for us to develop since, despite the emergence of diverse critical lines of thought since the development of postwar critical theory, realism and modernism have continued to affect the intricately interconnected modes of philosophical and political attitudes towards the relation between aesthetics and politics. Marxist thinkers, Georg Lukács, Theodor Adorno, and Fredric Jameson, among others, explored the dichotomy of realism and modernism in terms of the dialectic of form and content. While they shared that there is an essentially inextricable relationship between literature and the underlying contradictions of our society, how they described the aesthetic expression of social contradictions was distinct, leaving the important question unanswered: “what does it mean to be ‘real’?” In this paper, I revisit the realism-modernism debate to explore this fundamental antagonism to see how these thinkers help clarify the following issues: what is realist form, and what are its features? How does realism negotiate the history of aesthetic forms? Are “formal energies,” as Brown puts it, by themselves an attempt to be free of “historical consciousness” or ones that, as form, highlight historical consciousness? And finally, how does realist form make political action possible? These questions also help us see what it means that the aesthetic choices of an older realism have been persistently replicated after modernism in the global periphery.

Applied Capabilities of the Theory of Fictive Capital: the Concept of a New Economic Reality

After the global crisis of 2008–2009 a new economic reality was established in the socio-economic system, one of the signs of which was the overaccumulation of complex problems generated by transformations, for the solution of which the possibilities of fictitious capital are in demand. The disclosure of such possibilities presupposes further development of the theory of fictitious capital. The article explores the applied possibilities of the theory of fictitious capital, arising in the specific conditions of the new economic reality, associated with meeting the needs of two processes: an accelerated transition to a “green economy”; expanded generation of intellectual capital. The focus of the study is on additional opportunities for solving the key problems of the new economic reality associated with the intensive development of the theory of fictitious capital and the disclosure of its additional applied potential, adequate to the conditions of this reality. The study reveals the growing needs of the socio-economic system, in which a new economic reality has been established, in a comprehensive solution of many interrelated problems caused by technological shifts and socio-economic transformations and hindering the further sustainable and effective development of this system. For a comprehensive solution of such problems, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to find qualitatively new resources for an accelerated transition to a “green economy”; ensure the expanded generation of intellectual capital, which has become a key factor in modern development. The theory of fictitious capital, adapted to the conditions of the new economic reality, reveals the application possibilities of fictitious capital in relation to the specified tasks, which additionally confirms the validity of the conclusion that a good theory is the most practical. Implementation of the applied possibilities of fictitious capital makes it possible to identify and practically apply qualitatively new resources for an accelerated transition to a “green economy”, as well as to ensure the expanded generation of intellectual capital, which plays a key role in resolving the complex problems of the new economic reality. At the same time, in both cases, the starting point for such a sale is debt securities designed and issued for a period corresponding to the duration of the processes whose needs they provide.

Legislative Intent and Agency: A Rational Unity Account

Abstract Realist theories of legislative intent can be divided between aggregative theories (on which legislative intent is what some proportion of legislators intend) and common intent theories (on which legislative intent is a unanimous intent among legislators). In this article, we advance and defend an alternative realist conception of legislative intent: the rational unity account. On this account, the legislature is an agent with a distinctive ‘rational point of view’—a concept we adopt from social ontology. The legislature’s rational point of view is shaped by its procedures and structures, in ways not determined by either a common intention held by legislators or an aggregation of the intentions of legislators. We explain how our view improves on existing accounts. We then apply it to three cases to demonstrate its implications for legal interpretation. Importantly, on the proposed account, legislative intent can depart from what individual legislators think or know.

3D rooms map concept based augmented reality for green library

Green libraries are an exciting topic for creating environmentally friendly buildings. Libraries are synonymous with book lending services and comfortable reading rooms. The green library concept will be in line with increasing the comfort of library visitors. Libraries with large buildings need room maps for visitors to find room information. This research aims to create a room map with the concept of Augmented Reality (AR). Room maps generally use 2D images that provide information or instructions for all rooms in a building. The Augmented Reality approach as a 3D-based room map will undoubtedly provide a different experience to library visitors. Creating an AR room map will apply the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. This method is suitable for application in multimedia product development. However, the resulting product is not only used as room map information but can also be used as a library promotional tool.

Assessing the State of Modern Physics Education: Pre-test Findings and Influencing Factors

Technology and our conceptions of reality have both been significantly impacted by modern physics. However, due to a variety of issues, such as disparities in educational resources, differing emphasis on science education, cultural attitudes, and language obstacles, students in Latin America, including Ecuador, have a limited understanding of modern physics. The present work exposes a pre-test methodology to evaluate students' knowledge and pinpoint their areas of weakness. The analysis of the results indicates that most students received lower grades, while a smaller proportion obtained higher scores. Our findings reveal significant knowledge gaps, misconceptions, and uncertainty among the participants regarding various topics related to the constituent and stability of the nucleus, quantum behavior, nuclear models, radioactive decay, and natural radioactive sources. Additionally, it was statistically demonstrated (Kruskal-Wallis H test) that misconceptions, uncertainties, and knowledge gaps are not significantly related to learning styles. The type of college substantially impacts academics, with private university students typically receiving higher grades. These results offer insightful information about student performance, how learning styles and college types affect academic achievement in modern physics, and the effects of living area and academic level.

Влияние цифровых технологий на развитие танцевального направления занятости в Китае

The first attempts to create interactive devices that allow interacting with simulated reality or supplementing reality with superimposed information were made at the beginning of the XX century, the concept of mixed reality ("the continuum of reality-virtuality), the elements of which are AR and VR in the modern view, is quite young (24 years), as well as the market of technologies themselves virtual and augmented reality. And although the concepts and concepts of virtual and augmented reality have not undergone radical changes over the past 30 years, virtual and augmented reality technologies have gone through a significant evolutionary path both in terms of improving devices and software, and content, and have already experienced several growth spurts. Their use will not be limited only to the sphere of entertainment and games. Many experts believe that virtual and augmented reality technologies, along with BigData, cloud technologies, artificial intelligence and some others, will become key technologies of the quadruple industrial revolution.

Visual imagery and the informal city: examining 360-degree imaging technologies for informal settlement representation

ABSTRACT Informal settlements are a feature of many cities worldwide, yet information about their social and spatial conditions is often limited to what can be obtained from external observation. Remote sensing and landscape photography are used to acquire information about informal settlements, but images taken from the air or at a distance obscure their complexity, advancing a reductionist imaginary of informality in the minds of outsiders. As part of a project in an informal settlement in Johannesburg, this paper explores the potential of 360-degree imagery as a realist form of spatial representation, towards highlighting the diverse spatial forms, contexts, and lived realities of the informal city. Findings demonstrate the benefits of 360-degree imagery in comparison to other spatial and visual representation methods. Findings also reveal the need for more research into the impacts of this technology on viewer perspectives and perceptions, both visual-cognitive and in terms of intersubjectivity and power relations.

Wittgenstein’ın Tartıya Vurulamayan Gerçeklik Anlayışı Üzerine

In this study, we try to look at Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy holistically rather than the early and late periods in the literature. For this, we focus on the concept of imponderable evidence, which we think captures Wittgenstein's conception of reality. This concept provides the link between Tractarian ideas, which are ponderable, and post-Tractarian ideas, which are imponderable. In his Tractatus, Wittgenstein analysed reality via the distinction between what can be said and what can be shown. In the same work, he concludes the Tractarian project by stating that he has said what can be said, but the real work to be done is what can be shown. Based on Wittgenstein's ideas after the Tractatus, our study focuses on what can be shown, that is, the imponderable. The aim of our study is to show that Wittgenstein's conception of imponderable reality is objective, contrary to the perception in analytic philosophy. The concept of imponderable reality is grounded in the idea of incorporating the subjective nature of meaning into philosophical discourse in an objective manner. To include the subjective nature of meaning in philosophical discourse, Wittgenstein set certain rules and criteria in his post-Tractatus works. Thus, based on these rules and criteria, he proposes a conception of objectivity that is imponderable but self-evident.

Информационная концепция виртуальной реальности: определение места в современном философском знании

The aim of the article is to substantiate the possibility of applying the information concept of virtual reality to study new phenomena of digital culture caused by the rapid development of high technologies. At the first stage of the research, the author conducted an analytical review of domestic and foreign publications on the relevance and results of testing various concepts of virtual reality. The second stage of the study was the comparative analysis and generalization of the results obtained. At the third stage, the possibility of applying the information concept of virtual reality as an addition to the existing concepts in philosophical knowledge in the research of virtual-information phenomena of modern digital culture based on the application of the information approach and the attributive concept of information was considered. In the course of the study, the author came to the conclusion that, for a holistic analysis of virtual information reality as a phenomenon of digital culture, the use of concepts that reveal only one of the aspects of this reality becomes clearly insufficient. Understanding virtual reality as an imaginary reality, generated, secondary, emergent, etc., into which a person’s consciousness is immersed with the help of various practices and technologies, leads to distraction from the information nature of the person himself, culture and society. The development of the concept of virtual reality based on the information approach and the attributive concept of information allows defining it, first of all, as an information phenomenon that can exist outside of interaction. A person interacts with the world around him at the level of actualization of not only the material and energy component of the universe, but also necessarily the information one. It is in the information reality of various types that a person actively acts, working with information objects of different nature: abiotic, biotic, mental, technical, and social. According to the attribute concept, information is updated only in the process of interaction. Outside of interaction, it does not disappear and does not cease to exist, which means that it passes into a collapsed, encoded state, which is called potential or possible. According to the information concept of virtual reality, such a state is proposed to be called virtual, freeing the categories of “possibility” and “potentiality” for the energy and material components of the universe that exist outside of interaction. The information concept of virtual reality makes it possible to shift the emphasis on information interaction, which in the digital culture of modern society expands the boundaries of human consciousness as an information phenomenon that can use various material carriers, including the digital environment, for the implementation of information processes, which is becoming more realistic today, and is the subject of scientific and philosophical discussions.

Perspectives of Warfare: A Journey With Penguins

Understanding the complexities of our modern information-based environment is now fundamental to the success in warfighting and navigating the fog of war. Conversely, the use of traditional information paradigms can lead to unwitting co-option of the adversaries’ plan or world view. We must consider that concepts of reality, truth, and what is right inherently does not completely align amongst different actors and groups. With this understanding, we can build resilience and anti-fragility in our decision-making and analysis.

HuBar: A Visual Analytics Tool to Explore Human Behavior based on fNIRS in AR Guidance Systems.

The concept of an intelligent augmented reality (AR) assistant has significant, wide-ranging applications, with potential uses in medicine, military, and mechanics domains. Such an assistant must be able to perceive the environment and actions, reason about the environment state in relation to a given task, and seamlessly interact with the task performer. These interactions typically involve an AR headset equipped with sensors which capture video, audio, and haptic feedback. Previous works have sought to facilitate the development of intelligent AR assistants by visualizing these sensor data streams in conjunction with the assistant's perception and reasoning model outputs. However, existing visual analytics systems do not focus on user modeling or include biometric data, and are only capable of visualizing a single task session for a single performer at a time. Moreover, they typically assume a task involves linear progression from one step to the next. We propose a visual analytics system that allows users to compare performance during multiple task sessions, focusing on non-linear tasks where different step sequences can lead to success. In particular, we design visualizations for understanding user behavior through functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data as a proxy for perception, attention, and memory as well as corresponding motion data (acceleration, angular velocity, and gaze). We distill these insights into embedding representations that allow users to easily select groups of sessions with similar behaviors. We provide two case studies that demonstrate how to use these visualizations to gain insights about task performance using data collected during helicopter copilot training tasks. Finally, we evaluate our approach by conducting an in-depth examination of a think-aloud experiment with five domain experts.

Dynamic of Employee Engagement Relevance in Modern Science: Review Research

The purpose of this study is to investigate the global concept of employee engagement in the modern world by understanding conceptual, theoretical and research aspects. This aim was achieved using the method of extensive bibliometric analysis of the existing literature through the application of VOSViewer 1.6.18 Software, which was used for analyzing 941 articles collected from the year 2002 to 2023 from the Scopus database. The results clearly indicate that the concept of employee engagement has emerged as a relevant topic starting in the 2010s and reached its peak in the 2020s; therefore, studies of employee engagement can be acknowledged as a productive research trend that can be addressed by future scholars investigating modern challenges in human resource matters and labor organizations. The novelty of this study is the meta-analysis of employee engagement, which verifies the trendiness of this concept in modern academic reality. The practical significance of this study lies in its applicability to future researchers in the area of human resources and working management studies as a scope guidance.

Il perturbante come strategia sovversiva: realismo magico ed elementi fantastici nei Racconti sardi di Grazia Deledda

This paper discusses the absence of Grazia Deledda both in Spanish university curricula and on the Spanish publishing market, an oblivion shared by other female authors of her time. This exclusion has a dual cause: the writers’ gender and the literary genre they cultivated. In this study, I offer a new reading of Deledda’s Racconti sardi (1894) through a critical analysis of its architectural elements, resonating with magic realism and the fantastic genre. These elements fit within the aesthetics of the liminal (Tomassini, 1992), which seeks to reinterpret the history of otherness as opposed to normative and legitimised histories. While magic realism proposes a world tailored to the experience of the other, which belies the official truth, the fantastic highlights the flaws of the uniform conception of reality. Such narratives may convey a subversive, albeit often overlooked, message as the mechanisms of the genres of the non-real promote readers’ estrangement, a revision of the contract of fiction and, therefore, multiple levels of reading. These accomplishments make Deledda a classic author whose narrative production, which starts from the local to become universal, is worth continual re-reading.

Learned Ignorance? On Enlightened Blindness to the Divine and the Demonic

The Kantian “limits of knowledge” powerfully regulates the Enlightenment-framed contemporary academy as secular, methodologically atheistic, and functionally materialist when it comes to public knowledge. This shapes all science and religion discourse considered palatable to an Enlightenment sensibility. This limit makes public knowledge blind to the divine and the demonic in everyday life (and in extremis). The paper argues that this blindness illustrates the abstract and artificial conception of reality that governs academic knowledge. If “religion” adapts itself to these limits in order to dialogue successfully with “science” in an Enlightenment framed academy, it also becomes abstract and artificial. Using Nicholas of Cusa and Johann Hamann, the paper attempts to reclaim “learned ignorance” as a viable alternative to the Kantian “limits of knowledge.” Returning to the “science and religion” domain, the paper concludes by noting that conflict in the basic framing of reality and knowledge is now inherent if theology is to uphold a learned ignorance perspective on reality and natural philosophy. I argue that this sort of conflict should not be feared and is necessary to save modern science from floundering in its own metaphysical vacuum or being swept aside by a post-truth totally poetic constructivism.

Review Study About Marketing Strategies Implemented During Covid -19 Pandemic in Both Global and Sri Lankan Context

Marketing strategies play a significant role in achieving an organization’s long-term goals and short-term objectives. In order to access and involve with target audience in a dynamic global environment, marketing strategies should be developed in modern competitive business world. Therefore, this research intends to clear the way to a review study about Marketing strategies implemented during COVID -19 pandemic in both global and Sri Lankan context. In fact, the importance of execution of proper marketing strategies as a driving force to gain competitive advantage during post COVID – 19 period in a dynamic business world primarily encouraged the researcher to conduct this study. As a result, investigation and critical review of previous and recent studies in line with the similar phenomena of research studies were conducted in order to absorb important details and findings. Through the review study, it was possible not only to have an understanding about marketing strategies implemented by different organizations under different industries in both Sri Lankan context and global context to combat COVID -19 pandemic to survive in the business but also it was possible to identify some challenges encountered by different organizations during COVID -19 pandemic. As a summary, it was evident through the derived conclusions of the review study that interaction of consumers with online shopping became frequent due to social distance and less movement with physical visit to shops and super markets during COVID -19 pandemic. Further to above, online shopping becomes a main preference by majority of consumers has created a challenging barrier for retailers to encourage people to visit their retail stores although unique elements of visual merchandising are a powerful marketing tool in attracting consumers in various industries. It can also be concluded through the study that consumers prefer to pay a higher price for luxury items or luxury goods associated with good brand reputation while previous studies also reveal that consumer ethnocentrism causes customers to overestimate locally produced items or goods compared to imported items or goods resulting in the rejection of foreign brands. When implementation of current marketing strategies of organizations under different industries both in Sri Lankan context and global context during post COVID – 19 period is considered, social media marketing strategy should be aligned by focusing on interacting more with customers by paying more attention to the aspects of creative content creation, correct targeting on influencers, localisation of brand based on location and proper data collection about consumer needs. Further visual merchandising strategy need to be integrated with online marketing and social media marketing of the organization by offering digitalized real time client experience on the website of the organization by utilising augmented reality concepts since consumers interact more with online shopping nowadays. When it comes to premium pricing strategy, it is vital for organizations to position the product or service in customers’ mind price as a quality indicator specially for products associated with an excellent brand reputation among customers to convey a message that high price indicates high quality. As per the derived conclusions, when consumer ethnocentrism is taken into consideration as a strategy, application of Indigenous Marketing is very useful to promote the requirement of manufacturing locally and buying locally to supplement ethnocentric ideals of citizens by making sure high-quality products and by reminding customers of the value of supporting domestic enterprises.

David Chalmers' ,,Simulation Realism" Eine Kritik

This paper aims to philosophically analyze the concept of virtual reality, and to determine the concept from an ontological point of view. The term "virtual reality" is often used synonymously with "digital simulation". In his recent book Reality+, David Chalmers has argued that according to virtual digitalism, "if we're in a simulation, our world is still real". He calls this position "simula- tion realism". Against this view I will argue that virtual reality and simulation should not be identified. Rather, virtual reality is a genuine kind of reality that has always been part of our life. To this end, I will analyze the ontology of virtual reality by using the example of banknotes and referring to Lynne Baker's "constitution view".

TRANSLATION OF REALIA ON THE MATERIAL OF THE RUSSIAN FOLK TALE «KOSCHEY THE IMMORTAL»

Statement of the problem. The article discusses the interaction of linguistics and cultural studies in translation. The concepts of lacunarity, ethnolinguocultural asymmetry, sociocultural adaptation, significative connotation are revealed. Results. The article describes the difficulties that arise when translating works that are distinguished by a bright national coloring. Particular attention is paid to the problems associated with the difficulties of translation, in particular the translation of non-equivalent vocabulary. Various interpretations of the concept of reality are given. It is explained why it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of "realia" and "non-equivalent vocabulary". With the help of the theory of renomination, the difficulties associated with the translation of realia from one language to another are analyzed and a comparative analysis of various translation options for realia taken from the Russian folk tale "Koschey the Immortal" of A. S. Afanasyev and its translations into Italian by Rosella Morini (2011) and Sophia de Figner (1903). Conclusion. It is concluded that the translation of folklore is always difficult, since its quality depends very much on how rich the translator's stock of thematic and folk-poetic vocabulary of both languages ​​is. The analysis showed that the language in the translations is modern, neutral vocabulary prevails in it, in contrast to the Russian fairy tale, where there is a lot of stylistically colored colorful vocabulary. To convey the cultural features of the Russian language, transcriptions, transliterations, partial tracing with explanatory notes are used.
