Archetypal Resonances Between Realms: The Fractal Interplay of Chaos and Order

The intricate balance between chaos and order has fascinated humans for centuries, serving as a recurring theme in culture, psychology, and science. Carl Jung’s insights into archetypes reveal cultural patterns that emerge nearly universally across the globe, independent of history. This paper connects archetypal psychology with contemporary mathematical and quantum concepts. We focus on the profound interconnectedness at the interface between chaos and order, by demonstrating how the Mandelbrot set from contemporary fractal geometry circles round to embody the Oroboros, an ancient symbol of recursive dynamics. Our research bridges micro and macro realms, symbolic meanings, and empirical data, as well as psychological and physical dimensions. By merging age-old symbols with cutting-edge mathematical and quantum ideas, we shed light on the intricate dance of chaos and to underscore the unified nature of existence.

Patterns before recognition: the historical ascendance of an extractive empiricism of forms

This article explores the complex convergence between cybernetics and Gestalt theory and its influence on the concept of pattern recognition. It finds a departure in the analogous ways each discipline extends their core frameworks toward social and anthropological objects. However, this shared ground is not without tensions. In the post-war American context, what is formalizable and realizable in mechanical structures has a certain explanatory authority—even if often misplaced-- concerning perception and human intelligence. Cultural patterns feed into mechanical recognition of patterns, exemplifying “extractive empiricism” or the process of outsourcing experiential processes to mechanical systems. This mode of “proof” is also evident in cybernetic and cognitive psychological strategies toward Gestalt theory, leaving a significant legacy for contemporary machine learning approaches. By examining the early interactions between these rival paradigms, known for their quest for generalization, and disentangling their source status, this inquiry contributes to understanding the broad conceptual possibilities of pattern recognition beyond its narrow confines in engineering perspectives and machine learning discourse.

Healing from Intersectional White Supremacy Culture and Ableism:

In this exploratory article, we build on the existing literature to identify and discuss the patterns of white supremacy culture (WSC) that are pervasive in our organizational spaces. We argue that because WSC, racism, and ableism are deeply intersectional forms of oppression, our social equity approaches must include a disability justice (DJ) lens, which centers the leadership of multiply marginalized disabled, queer, trans*, Black, Indigenous, and negatively racialized People of Color (QTBIPOC). Using an embodied approach, we invite our readers into a deeper reflection and critical analysis of the intersectional manifestations of white supremacy culture and ableism in organizational spaces. We explore the ways in which the 10 principles of disability justice could serve in creating supportive countercultural norms, values, and behavioral practices needed to create the conditions for healing from white supremacy culture.

Ethnic differentiation in the internal spatial configuration of vernacular dwellings in the multi-ethnic region in Xiangxi, China from the perspective of cultural diffusion

Understanding the cultural characteristics and evolution of traditional dwellings in the context of ethnic integration is of great significance for protecting the diversity of residential cultural heritage of ethnic minorities. This article compares the ethnic differences in the internal spatial configuration of vernacular dwellings in Xiangxi region, China, a typical multi-ethnic area where “line-shaped” dwellings are prevalent among the Miao, Dong, Yao, Tujia, and Han groups. This study found that the spatial sequence, ritual axis, importance of fireplace, spatial hierarchy, and privacy of bedrooms of each ethnic group's dwellings present a trend towards Han’s dwelling culture in the order of "Western Miao, Southern Dong, Northern Dong, Yao, Eastern Miao, Tujia". Based on the analysis of the lifestyles, ethnic customs, and historical development processes of ethnic minorities, this study identifies that the main reasons for the formation of the aforementioned sequence lie in the differences in the historical diffusion patterns and paths of Han culture in Xiangxi. This article analyses the ethnicity of minority residential culture in Xiangxi and its spatial configuration formation process, revealing the relationship between the spatial effect of Han cultural diffusion pattern and the spatial difference pattern of each ethnic group's vernacular dwelling space configuration, and expanding the connotation of "cultural genotypes" in multi-ethnic areas.

Growth patterns of bacterial cultures depending on the nitrogen availability

Morphological and ultrastructural growth patterns of bacterial cultures in response to the nitrogen availability were demonstrated using cultivation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that strains of Pseudomonas sp. 1CB and Streptomyces sp. 21A are able to grow only in the medium with available nitrogen. Rhizobium sp. 2A formed biofilm on glass in medium with nitrate and in medium without available nitrogen. In a non-nitrogenous medium, an increase in the diameter of bacterial cells was observed due to the intensive secretion of polysaccharide mucus, which can be considered a mechanism of protection of the nitrogenase complex from the damaging effect of oxygen.

A Study of the Effectiveness of Popularized Perceptions of Religious Culture in the Context of Deep Learning on the Diffusion of Racial Justice Ideas

Abstract In the long historical evolution of humanity, religion has always demonstrated social, and cultural patterns and historical forms and has silently influenced some people’s ideological concepts and moral behaviors at all stages of development. This paper uses deep learning to investigate how the popularization of religious culture affects the dissemination of the concept of racial justice. The LBP-ORB algorithm model is constructed for the popularization method of religious culture, which is based on the improvement of the ORB algorithm, and the cognitive degree of different religious cultures can be improved by feature extraction through the LBP-ORB algorithm model. The model of this paper will be compared experimentally and then through fieldwork. The LBP-ORB algorithm model will be used to extract the features of local religious culture and popularize the local youths. Based on the analysis results, we explore the effect of the popularization of the cognition of religious culture on the spread of the concept of racial justice. After the popularization of religious culture, the college student group and middle school student group’s knowledge of the concept of racial justice increased substantially, with the number of people familiar with the college student group increasing by 88 and the number of people with general knowledge increasing by 122. The number of people in the middle school student population who were familiar with it reached 112, and the number of people with a general understanding reached 92. This paper’s LBPORB algorithm model has significantly increased the dissemination of the concept of racial justice after popularizing religious culture.

Kultura otkazivanja na tviteru - otkazivanje Rusa i Ukrajinaca u kontekstu rusko-ukrajinskog rata

This research deals with the analysis of the phenomenon of cancel culture on the social network Twitter in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Cancel culture as a social phenomenon is becoming increasingly important on social networks, and Twitter has become the key environment for expressing and sharing opinions on this topic. The aim of this research is to understand how Twitter users shape the discourse on cancel culture during the current Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as to assess the intensity of this phenomenon in two different time periods - March 2022 and March 2023. The quantitative-qualitative method of content analysis and discourse analysis was used in the research. The research findings indicate that cancel culture intensified in March 2023 compared to March 2022. The research results highlight that a greater number of tweets were written in a negative tone, manifested in aggressive and insulting comments and sharp polarization into two opposing camps, which corresponds to the characteristic patterns of cancel culture when it comes to Twitter. The use of hashtags has proven to be a powerful tool for promoting ideologies and constructing meaning, enabling the creation of a particular narrative and eliciting connections with like-minded people. The research provides a deeper insight into the dynamics of cancel culture on Twitter in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, demonstrating how social and political events shape the perception and opinions of Twitter users.

The impact of Levantine community on the westernization process of Ottoman Empire

The aim of this research is to understand the role of Levantines in the westernization process of Ottoman Empire. The scope of the study covers the second half of 19th and the first quarter of 20th century of İstanbul, specifically Galata and Pera regions which took on the appearance of a European city. The method is Center – Periphery Theory. According to the Modern World-System approach, the world is divided into two, center and periphery, and the center means both; the center in geographical sense, and also the center of the cultural values, symbols, beliefs, and behavioural patterns. In this system, above mentioned are demanded and imported by the periphery. The importation process is performed primarily by the privileged actors such as, elite class, tradesman and bureaucrats in the periphery. Within the case of Ottoman Empire and Istanbul at the time, the center was west, particularly France and the way of life was associated to the Belle Époque period. Ottoman elite living in the capital, desired a western lifestyle while the west was taken as a role model of progress during the 19th century and even later. In that period, the Ottoman elite was in a challenging attempt to westernize the Empire in every aspect of life, in collaboration with Levantines who were the European tradesman in İstanbul. Just as the West was recognized as the center of progressing and the Levantine community was the representation of west in the Ottoman capital, in other words, the West in the Orient, so Istanbul was the West in Anatolia as the center of progressing.

Current Status of Drug-resistant Patterns of Gram-positive Clinical Isolates Collected from Renowned Diagnostic Centers of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious concern and life threat in public health globally. Gram-positive clinical isolates are one of the leading etiological agents showing drug resistance traits. This study aimed to detect the antimicrobial resistance pattern of clinically isolated Gram-positive bacterial isolates collected from various renowned diagnostic centers of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Methods: A laboratory-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Microbiological Laboratory of the Department of Microbiology, Stamford University Bangladesh. A total of 104 clinical specimens (wound swab, pus, blood, urine, ear discharge, nasal swab, sputum, nipple discharge, breast milk, catheter tip, umbilical swab, and throat swab) from different age groups were collected from some renowned diagnostic centers of Dhaka city for analyzing the cultural and drug sensitivity patterns from January 2023 to April 2023. According to the study plan, only the Gram-positive bacteria were collected and transported to the laboratory of the Department of Microbiology, Stamford University Bangladesh following WHO guidelines, and the antimicrobial susceptibility tests were carried out by Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method and the results were interpreted as per CLSI guidelines, 2022. Results: This study highlights the presence of Staphylococcus aureus (65.4%), Streptococcus spp. (23.1%), and Enterococcus spp. (11.5%) as causative agents of Gram-positive bacterial infections from overall 104 clinical specimens. Most of our isolates were found multidrug-resistant. For S. aureus isolates, cefixime (100%); for Streptococcus spp., doxycycline (95.83%); and for Enterococcus spp., amoxicillin (100%), cefixime (100%), colistin (100%), and cotrimoxazole (100%) were found to be the most ineffective drug when compared to other antibiotics. Conclusion: Our study portrayed the remarkable antibiotic resistance feature of Gram-positive bacterial isolates which is a matter of public health concern. It is necessary to carry out a continuous assessment of antibiotic sensitivity patterns of resistant Gram-positive bacteria; otherwise, it will become an uncontrollable problem not only in Bangladesh but also worldwide in the near future.

The Use of Visual Communication Technology in the Cultural Connotation and Design Expression of Traditional Cultural and Creative Products

Abstract Traditional cultural and creative products need to be combined with cultural connotations on the basis of traditional cultural products, and modern visual communication design laws and design theories are used as the methods to broaden the product display medium and extend the product value. In this paper, we first sort out the cultural connotation of cultural and creative products and the design and development motives and explore the specific implementation path of cultural and creative product design based on visual communication design. Secondly, it studies the extraction of visual elements of traditional cultural and creative product patterns by the SURF image feature extraction method. Firstly, it realizes the acquisition of styling visual elements by the Canny operator in the edge detection algorithm. Then it acquires accurate color visual elements based on the K-Means primary color extraction algorithm improved by the contour coefficient method. In the traditional cultural and creative product design examples, it is found that the average Dice conventional culture coefficient image extraction based on the SURF method is 0.731, and the structural similarity of primary color extraction reaches 0.792 with the original image of traditional culture. Traditional cultural and creative products have a comprehensive evaluation score of between 4.3 and 4.5, which indicates high satisfaction. Carrying out the design of conventional cultural and creative products with visual communication design, its central performance is in visual attractiveness and formal innovativeness in order to burst the vitality of traditional cultural and creative products.

Microbiological Evaluation of Paediatric Chronic Haematogenous Osteomyelitis in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India and its Association with Radiological Appearance: A Retrospective Study

Introduction: Chronic osteomyelitis in the paediatric age group is a frequent complication of improperly treated acute haematogenous osteomyelitis, leading to devastating complications such as pathological fractures and deformities in affected children. There is a growing need to comprehend the disease process and develop improved treatment strategies. Aim: To evaluate bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity patterns in children and adolescents with chronic haematogenous osteomyelitis in North India and to explore associations between radiological patterns and antibiotic sensitivity. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics of tertiary care centre, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, North India, from July 2018 to June 2020. Total 100 children and young adolescents with chronic osteomyelitis who reported to OPD of hospital with pus discharge from an extremity persisting for more than six weeks, along with radiological features indicative of chronic osteomyelitis. Parameters such as site of infection, illness duration, blood parameters, bacteriological culture reports, etc., were examined. Radiological evaluation was performed using the Beit CURE (BC) classification. Data were analysed and represented in the form of frequencies and percentages. The Chi-square test was used to compare proportions, with significance set at p-value<0.05. Results: The median age of the study population was 13 years, there were 32 (32%) females and 68 (68%) males. The majority of cases (70%) belonged to the B1-B3 group. Staphylococcus aureus was responsible for 86 (86%) cases, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 7 (7%) cases. Out of the 86 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates, 58 (67.44%) were Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Multidrug resistance was observed among gram-negative species, as well. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed resistance to fluoroquinolones in 4 (57%) cases, aminoglycosides in 2 (28%) cases, and carbapenem in 1 (14%) case, which is considered highly effective in treating serious infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-negative species. No significant association was found between drug sensitivity patterns and radiological features in the present study. Conclusion: Staphylococcus aureus remains the most predominant organism isolated from deep tissue cultures. Among S. aureus isolates, MRSA was the most frequently identified. Identifying the causative organism may be challenging in some cases. Among cases where the offending microbe was identified, drug resistance was widespread among both Gram-negative and Gram-positive specimens. No significant relationship was found between the radiological appearance of infected bone and the pattern of antibiotic resistance.

Research on Cultural and Creative Design Based on Modal Theory and AIGC Technology

Abstract Modal theory is an important basis for studying cultural inheritance and dissemination. This paper combines modal theory and AIGC technology to innovate the cultural and creative design method. Through the calculation and analysis of modal recognition degree and other indicators, the modal factors that should be applied or innovated in cultural and creative design are identified. Using this paper’s cultural and creative design method, the analysis of Liangzhu culture and Shu brocade patterns is conducted separately. In the Liangzhu culture modal recognition, the higher recognition is pattern representation, morphological representation, and artifact function, and the lower recognition is color representation, aesthetic concept, material representation, and philosophical thought. The order of the popularity of the modal elements of pattern representations is from high to low: abstract pattern > animal pattern > geometric pattern. The traditional patterns of Shu brocade are in the order of color expression: A (0.209) > subject matter content, D (0.206) > surface features, C (0.162) > organization, B (0.148) > aesthetic meaning, F (0.138) > symbolic meaning E (0.137). When using AIGC to assist cultural and creative design, it is necessary to take into account the modal factors with smaller weight values to ensure that the final design can be loved by the public and achieve the dual goals of cultural heritage and economic benefits.

The United States and Cultural Globalization: Power Dynamics in Global Media Flows

This paper explores the contemporary dynamics of global media flows. It emphasizes the power struggles between American film and TV’s global dominance and competing industries using Bollywood as case study. An examination of Bollywood’s rich cultural narratives and strategic engagement with international audiences is presented as a significant force in the global film industry, challenging the traditional dominance of American media. Empirical analysis of viewership trends and market data reveals that while American media continues to exert substantial influence globally, Bollywood’s rise reflects a shift towards a more diversified cultural landscape. The findings highlight the complexities of cultural globalization, illustrating how diverse media products can coexist and thrive in the international arena. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of recognizing the contributions of non-Western media industries in shaping global cultural consumption patterns and calls for further evaluations of the prevailing narratives surrounding cultural hegemony.

Within these themes, categories such as Cultural Stigma, Cultural Support Systems, Communication Patterns, Parenting Styles, Individual and Family Coping Strategies, and Access to Mental Health Services highlighted the complex interplay between culture and mental health. Key concepts emerged, including the role of shame and silence, community solidarity, acculturation stress, inter-generational trauma, and the importance of social support networks in navigating mental health within a cultural context. Conclusion: The study underscores the profound impact of cultural narratives on family mental health, revealing both barriers and supports influenced by cultural identity, family dynamics, societal factors, and coping mechanisms. It highlights the need for culturally sensitive mental health services and policies that recognize and address the diverse cultural narratives influencing mental health perceptions and practices.

Venice's Nissology. Mapping and Modelling Venice's Aquascape in a Historical Perspective

In the historical tradition, Venice is a city without walls and gates, and hence lacking suburbs. The project Venice's Nissology (VeNiss) reverses this trope by examining the urban, political, and cultural patterns connecting the capital with its lagoon archipelago through a web interactive 3D map, intended for researchers and the wider public alike. This is a geo-­spatial semantic infrastructure that, as a sort of historical Google maps, enables a journey through time and space to discover and visualise the layered histories of Venice's over sixty ‘domestic' islands. VeNiss tells a story of half a millennium, starting from the sixteenth century, the very moment in which the city began consciously to structure its lagoon territory. Allowing users to navigate across the digital historical lagoon, the research platform brings the once densely-­populated islands to life in their physical appearance as well as in their social arrangement. Through bi-­ and three-­ dimensional digital models interwoven with pertinent historical information, the online infrastructure helps investigate, interpret, and represent the long-­lasting dynamics of Venice's centre-­periphery relations, blending the physical and functional dimensions together and displaying them as an on-­going flow. By reframing the lagoon as a large-­scale ‘urban fringe', this project re-­evaluates the Venetian archipelago as the fundamental connective tissue of the city's political, socio-­economic, and cultural practices.

Perception of success among adults practicing various fighting arts.

Goal orientations, which influence learning and motivation, are categorized into task orientation (focused on skill development and personal mastery) and ego orientation (focused on outperforming others and gaining recognition). This study aims to explore how different demographics perceive success in martial arts. The research questions focused on identifying correlations between perceptions of success and demographic factors: (1) sex, (2) age, (3) type of martial art practiced, and (4) nationality. These factors were examined to understand their impact on success perceptions among martial arts practitioners. The study utilized the Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ) to gather data from 268 participants-142 from Poland and 126 from Ukraine-selected through voluntary participation. Statistical analyses included standard deviation, coefficient of variability, Spearman's rank correlation, and ANOVA for multifactor analysis. The study revealed a weak correlation between the type of martial art practiced and perception of success (r s = 0.38), indicating that the style of martial art has limited influence on success perception. There was a weak correlation between nationality and perception of success (r s = 0.20), suggesting cultural factors do not play a role. A strong correlation was found between age and perception of success (r s = 0.80), highlighting how perceptions evolve with age. A significant correlation was also found between sex and perception of success (r s = 0.90), which may reflect broader cultural patterns influenced by globalization. While the study identifies important demographic correlations affecting perceptions of success in martial arts, the findings are constrained by the sample size and demographic distribution, which limits the generalizability of the results. Further research with a larger and more diverse sample is recommended to deepen understanding.

Identyfikacja i poczucie dumy młodych Amerykanów polskiego i tybetańskiego pochodzenia

Ethnic diversity in the United States is a dynamic phenomenon that affects all aspects of the country’s social, economic and cultural life. This is one of the characteristics that defines American identity and makes the United States one of the most diverse countries in the world. The article focuses on the identity of young Americans of Polish and Tibetan origins living in the Tri-State Area (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York). Students attending Polish and Tibetan Saturday Schools were selected for the study. These are two distinct ethnic groups, but it is assumed that maintaining the cultural heritage of their ancestors is what characterizes both of them. The research results confirm this thesis and indicate that the sense of identity is a natural need of a young person, expressed in a dual cultural pattern and a developmental task that should be undertaken. In both studies, a strong sense of pride in ethnic origin emerged, although it was articulated in different ways by young people. Students from both groups presented high cultural competences in their country of origin and country of residence.

МІЖДИСЦИПЛІНАРНА СИНТЕЗІЯ КОНВЕНЦІЙ ТА ПАТЕРНІВ СУЧАСНОЇ ПОПУЛЯРНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ США

This article offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of contemporary popular culture in the United States, with a focus on its development over the past two decades. The research encompasses various theoretical approaches, including philosophical, economic, sociological, psychological, historical, and anthropological perspectives, aiming to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of popular culture within the context of globalization and digital transformation. Attention is given to the impact of recommendation algorithms on popular culture, particularly their role in fostering cultural homogenization, personalizing cultural experiences, and shaping new cultural trends. The issues of cultural hybridization, the ritualization of social practices, and the significance of collective memory in the context of popular culture are also explored. Historical analysis reveals the periodization and evolution of cultural institutions, while the socio-anthropological approach highlights the importance of symbolic structures in the formation of cultural narratives. The philosophical lens emphasizes the postmodern characteristics of contemporary popular culture, including the deconstruction of traditional cultural patterns, and analyzes the dynamics of metaphysical concepts, particularly the idea of presence within the conditions of hyperreality. Sociological methodologies assist in addressing the structuration of cultural practices and adaptive processes of socialization through social networks and other digital platforms, which are emerging as new spaces for the construction of social identities. The psychological analysis focuses on the cognitive and emotional effects induced by popular culture, including cognitive disintegration caused by excessive media consumption, and the impact of social comparison on self-esteem and the psychological well-being of individuals. It is emphasized that popular culture products can be designed to appeal to unconscious desires and internalized norms, shaping motivational structures and social behavior patterns. The economic perspective highlights the processes of commodification of cultural products and the monetization of cultural industries. The article underscores the necessity of integrating these approaches to gain a deeper understanding of how contemporary popular culture in the United States influences global cultural processes and shapes the future directions of cultural practices and social structures. The conclusions emphasize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that allows for a comprehensive consideration of the impact of popular culture on society, its cultural norms, identities, and social dynamics.
