The process of making batik wayang beber using digital canting with sungging painting coloring technique

This article carries the application of creating wayang beber patterns with sinjang batik techniques. This research aims to answer the endless question regarding the variation of batik patterns. Batik patterns are not only used in clothing but also as decoration. In this case, batik is used as decoration with wayang beber patterns using batik painting techniques. The research was carried out by making an example of a model, starting with looking for possible utilization by using a design from a computer graphics program. The research scope is limited by the creation of the wayang beber patterns and their application. The steps of designing are to create a prototype model, starting with conducting emic and ethical research. The next step is contemplating the whole pattern development design using digital technology. This is done by looking for suitability based on aesthetic principles and followed by pencantingan using the SGL-4332 series digital batik canting machine. For the final step, colouring is carried out using the batik painting technique, which is done manually using the rules of sungging gradation. This research produced a prototype model of wayang beber creation with batik techniques, which can be used by batik craftsmen to bring out new innovations in their work

Justice and Equality: The Endless Question

The discourse on justice and equality is not only a concern for Indonesia but also for the global context. Justice and equality are understood in various contexts, both in relation to where justice and equality are applied, when and to whom. But basically, justice and equality have the same goal, which is to ensure that everyone feels safe and gets the same treatment without discriminating against anything.

Mourning and Translation as Topological Events

Derrida’s thought is a dynamic dimension, a movement beyond any attempt of conclusive definition. However, is there any possibility to grasp this task of endless destabilization? This paper brings up the proposal of reading Derrida’s work from the close but at the same time aporetical relation between place and space. In this sense, we question the common understanding of space as uniform and empty continuum where place would be just a ‘limit’, a perimeter. In order to do so, we will pay attention to the particular Topology that ‘translation’ illustrates in Derrida’s work, just as the reality of the spectre and mourning, stating these two dimensions as examples of Derrida’s strategy. In this sense, through translation and mourning, we manage to make out that Derrida’s work, even though cannot be summarized in a single object or idea, it might be understood as the endless question about the place of and for deconstruction, that is, about place as deconstruction of space. Thus, Derrida’s Topology may constitute a new and radical way to read not only his own work, but to question ourselves.

재즈, 반복의 미학

The repetition of various forms in jazz is different from a simple representation. It holds meanings that are in line with “repetitions accompanied by differences,” as mentioned by Deleuze. Jazz music is created in a direction in which all differences that accompany repetitions are accepted and no judgment is made between right and wrong according to the criterion of identity. Improvisation makes repetitions in jazz possible, and it allows the music to live in the present amid the intersection of memories, which are the synthesis of the past; and habits, which are the synthesis of the present. Consequently, new and endless versions are created in the circle of eternal return, and they represent the synthesis of the future. In other words, repetition in jazz is asking a “question.” The “framework” provided to jazz musicians is neither a complete world of artwork nor an object to represent. The framework is a space of infinite possibilities, and musicians create music by asking endless questions within. Musicians can become anything and positively accept any differences in interpretations within a space of infinite possibilities. After all, jazz is the music of differences, and its existence comes from making a difference. It is exactly in this difference where the aesthetics of repetition in jazz resides.

Simple agents, smart swarms: a cooperative search algorithm for swarms of autonomous underwater vehicles

Searching within an unknown environment quickly by utilising a small number of high-capacity robots or a large number of low-cost robots poses an endless question with a non-trivial answer. If the robot's operating environment is underwater, the problem becomes even more complicated due to its three-dimensional nature and the communication restrictions. In this paper, we propose an algorithm appropriate for target searching in unknown underwater environments. The proposed method considers a homogeneous decentralised multi-robot coordination scheme applied from a single-robot configuration to a large swarm. In this model, simple agents (SA) form smart swarms (SS), despite SA do not need to have a strong ability to transmit search and location information, and the SS can efficiently perform search tasks in unknown environments. Specifically, when a swarm performs a search task, agents only search according to the simple strategy and share mapping information within their communication range, enhancing search efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and that search time reduces proportionally by increasing the number of robots comprising the swarm, while the repetition search rate does not increase with the expansion of the swarm size. We believe that our SS architecture provides insights into the future application of swarm intelligence.

과거청산에 대한 이론적 탐구 - 이해와 치유의 (불)가능성을 중심으로

The Korean term “liquidation of the past” is itself a symptom of historical trauma. It requires clarification and theoretical grounding at a more fundamental level. Judicial judgments about the past, trying to get rid of the ghosts of the past, are supposed to clearly judge the truth and the lie, but the truth is still gray, and the position of the victim and the perpetrator is always relative. Therefore, the historical judgment is requested. Historians do not immediately determine the facts of the past as truth, but rather wander between facts and facts, discovering the strata of meaning buried in the gap. Understanding and healing the deep pain created by modern Korean history is not small task. The crime of the perpetrator and the suffering of the victim generally intersect at the limit of understanding, and both sides suffer from a fragmentation of memory. Complete recovery from the painful past is nearly impossible.<BR>One narrow passage to access historical truth is the contradictory and divided memories. Trauma is a wounded memory that is not neatly eliminated or tamed, but is repeatedly summoned to a place of endless questioning and reflection. Representing trauma unreified requires a future-oriented strategy based on historical judgment. “Historical representation” as a “political representation” is not just designed to neatly arrange human experiences, but to revitalize unrealized dreams and to open up the possibilities for the future. In particular, rediscovering the “human rights” of minorities as a repository of political imagination beyond the confines of nation-state is a way to respond to the voices of the deceased and to the historical truth.

"It Occupied Her Entire Childhood": Looking Back on Limb-Lengthening.

Approximately 1 in 1000 children are born with congenital lower limb deficiencies related to underlying congenital vascular insufficiency.1 Their parents face a difficult choice: early amputation and prosthesis-fitting or a series of painful, invasive lengthening procedures, which, despite some advances, still carry a risk of a poor functional outcome for a significant minority of patients.1–3 In this Family Partnerships essay, a young woman born with congenital short limb, her mother, her current orthopedic surgeon, and a pediatric ethicist reflect on their family’s choice and its consequences for her health and wellbeing over the past 30 years. Lindsay is the younger of our two daughters. I had been advised to stop taking antiepileptic medications during my pregnancy, but this led to my having more frequent and severe seizures. Sometimes I fell but remained conscious. Although 3 doctors have told us that Lindsay’s disability was unrelated, I still feel guilty that I might have caused it. Regardless of what got us into this position with our little girl, we were always going to do everything on heaven and earth for her. The day after Lindsay was born in 1987, the pediatrician came to my room with the longest face I have seen a doctor have before. … Address correspondence to Amy Caruso Brown, MD, MSc, MSCS, Center for Bioethics and Humanities, SUNY Upstate Medical University, 618 Irving Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210.

Saving America

Saving America Jan Garden Castro (bio) Quichotte Salman Rushdie Random House https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612467/quichotte-by-salman-rushdie/ 416 Pages; Print, $18.99 Quichotte (pronounced key-shot) stirs up endless questions as Rushdie's fiction mirrors 2020 world events: the Black Lives Matter movement has blasted the lid off of racism in America and worldwide as targeted violence against non-whites makes headlines. In another direction, drug companies who bribe doctors to overprescribe opioids are being prosecuted: John Kapoor is the first drug company CEO convicted of criminal schemes to induce doctors to hook patients on an addictive form of fentanyl and Purdue Pharma has pleaded guilty and paid eight billion dollars—but so far no Sackler family members have been jailed. (Because they are white?) Quichotte fictionalizes Kapoor and addresses the big story that opioid suicide and overdose deaths in the United States have risen from 21,000 in 2010 to 70,237 in 2017, according to CDC and the NIH (National Institute on Drug Abuse) statistics. Enter Miss Salma R, a strong-willed Indian ex-pat and TV host who becomes a fentanyl addict. Rushdie's cautionary yet hopeful metafiction cloaks hard truths about racism and addiction in America in a tale purportedly written by a second-rate writer named Sam DuChamp or Brother, who explains it this way to his son: He tried to explain the picaresque tradition, its episodic nature, and how the episodes of such a work could encompass many manners, high and low, fabulist and commonplace, how it could be at once parodic and original, and so through its metaphoric roguery it could demonstrate and seek to encompass the multiplicity of human life. Sam's quest novel opens with allusions to Cervantes' 1505 Don Quixote, a saga in which the main character parodies those whose fantasies exceed their capabilities. First, a rambling monologue introduces the inner thoughts of Sam's fictional character Ismail Smile, who selects his own name Quichotte after remembering listening, as a boy, to his father's vinyl recording of the Jules Massenet opera Don Quichotte. In writer Sam's parallel "real" universe, his son has rejected both birth parents, now leads a cult, and wears an "original" mask from Man of La Mancha, the 1965 musical set in a prison where the fictional Cervantes is writing a fictional Don Quixote. Sam's son, or the Son of Sam, is a creepy loner involved in unspecified cult and cyber-spy activities as his character is introduced. The main characters in the novel, both good and evil, come from Bombay or other locations in India, but all are now American citizens with varied careers: Sam is a mystery writer who invents Ismail Smile, a traveling salesman who works for his rich cousin Dr. R. K. Smile, who runs the highly profitable Smile Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a company pushing a fentanyl sublingual spray. Dr. Smile's wife Happy Smile delights in being an arts patron and helping others. Salma R., a cinema star in India who moved to New York in her mid-twenties and starred in the Five Eyes spy series, now hosts a popular TV talk show. Smile is a huge Salma fan and addicted to watching TV in general when he's on the road selling drugs. Human Trampoline is Smile's sister in New York; her story has parallels with that of Sam's sister in London. These two women are sensible, have some of the best lines, and their personalities are not as inflated as the men's. Many parallel situations in the lives of Sam the writer and Quichotte have different outcomes but start with each being estranged from his son and sister, embracing a dual American-East Indian identity, and facing unprovoked racist incidents due to their brown skin and features. Ismail Smile, the tall, slender, older East Indian main character, reminds readers of the character Ishmael who opens Melville's Moby Dick (1851)—the only survivor of a captain's insane whale hunt. But Ismael uses an Americanized version of his Indian name, calling himself Smile Smile. Smile's cousin Dr. R. K. Smile is a charming con man who boasts he...

The Baseball Bat: From Trees to the Major Leagues, 19th Century to Today by Stephen M. Bratkovich

Reviewed by: The Baseball Bat: From Trees to the Major Leagues, 19th Century to Today by Stephen M. Bratkovich Jennifer J. Asenas and Kevin A. Johnson Stephen M. Bratkovich. The Baseball Bat: From Trees to the Major Leagues, 19th Century to Today. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2020. 198 pp. Paperback, $29.95. In The Baseball Bat, trained forester and wood enthusiast Stephen Bratkovich conducts extensive research into bat manufacturing. He visits several manufacturers who "opened their doors and welcomed 'the rookie' with open arms. Private tours, photographs, answers to endless questions," and provided review and feedback to the book chapter drafts (v). The book is primarily "focused on wooden baseball bats and the trees that produce them" (3). [End Page 215] Chapter one traces the wood bat to historical games that involved striking objects with sticks. Although thought to exist as far back as 2400 BC, pinpointing the exact origin of the game we call "baseball" today is complicated. As Bratkovich notes, "bat and ball games played by youngsters have likely been around as long as we've had youngsters. Whether these games were played with a simple stick, small limb, or merely a hand as the 'bat' is open to argument" (6). This chapter delves into the twists and turns of the historical narratives that have evolved concerning the popularity of wood bats in ball and stick games. Chapter two traces the evolution of bat design and material preferences. Bratkovich identifies one consistent truth: "Though baseball and its people have changed, the use of wood to make bats has not. In fact, at the highest level of baseball the object used to strike the ball is fashioned from a tree" (14). Players have used wood bats made from several different kinds of trees including sycamore, cherry, spruce, chestnut, poplar, basswood, willow, ash, maple, pine, and hickory. Chapter three examines the history of companies that used these types of wood to make bats. The chapter discusses economic forces in the bat industry through an investigation of companies like Hillerich & Bradsby (known famously for the Louisville Slugger), Spalding, Wright & Ditson, and A. J. Reach Company. Chapter four traces the evolution of bat makers after World War II from the larger companies to the boutique. The chapter examines the impact of the aluminum bat on the market of wood bats. For example, with the rise of aluminum bat companies like Worth and Easton, "Hillerich & Bradsby's wooden bat sales dropped almost overnight from seven million to one million per year" (51). The market forced Louisville Slugger into the metal bat market because the MLB market that required wooden bats was not enough to sustain the company. In chapter five, Bratkovich makes a turn to study player preferences and the wood itself. He explaines, "It's important to remember that wood comes from trees … Wood evolved as a functional tissue of plants and not to satisfy MLB or the players who swing the objects known as bats" (58). Regardless of the type of wood, the perfect bat is hard to define. Bratkovich draws on former MLB player Scott Podsednik's statement in the New York Times: "'You can't describe it—it's a feel. When you pick it up and take a couple of swings with [End Page 216] it, you just know.' When this occurs with players, as Podsednik described, all information and scientific data about wood properties and features are out the door" (71). Whatever bat the player chooses, they will always be prone to breakage. Chapter six examines much of the scientific data and processes that are in place to protect players from broken bats. In explaining that the goal is to reduce bat breakage, he notes, "Wooden bats will always break due to poor wood quality, prolonged bat use, incorrect contact with the ball, pitch speed, and other reasons too numerous to name" (84). Chapters seven and eight discuss forests and the threat of pests to the trees in those forests. Tailoring the analysis of forests to each wood type, Bratkovich provides many details that play into the construction of a high-quality wood bat. For example, "The best white ash baseball-bat trees grow on the north...

Endless questions: my ongoing journey with SCAD

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a potentially fatal heart condition that cannot be predicted or prevented, and that is associated with none of the normal risk factors for heart disease.

Don't Focus on Statistics.

Don't Focus on Statistics Mary Fauvre March 12, 1982 was the worst day of my life. Our son was 19 months old and he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); our family's lives changed forever. In a space of 24 hours we were told our baby might die, and that if he lived, he probably would be sterile—two predictions of unequal weight but of horrifying impact. I have a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology/Child Development and my husband has four older children from a previous marriage, so we had thought we had some idea about child rearing. But with this terrifying diagnosis, neither of us had any idea how the future would unfold for our beautiful, bright, verbal, jolly little boy. In hindsight, we know we were lucky, but 34 years ago we were devastated. It all started on a Friday morning when I took him to the doctor to check on his unusual pallor and fatigue. Based on stat blood tests, which showed his hemoglobin at 3.4, our pediatrician sent us directly to the closest tertiary care university teaching hospital. We were admitted and he was treated with packed red cells, which improved his energy and color immediately. He felt great: "Shoes on, shoes on. … Go home!" was his mantra, which I will never forget. They did not send us home, but the next day the chief pediatric hematologist/oncologist met with us, and tried to answer our anxious questions. He told us not to pay attention to statistics, but when we pestered him, he reported that based on age and presenting symptoms the "odds of survival" showed our son's case in the 50–50 category. We were even more upset, and we agreed to try not to focus on statistics. While ALL has become one of the more treatable cancers, in the early '80's there were still lots of unanswered questions, and several experimental protocols were under study. We were basically in a state of shock as the doctors explained everything that lay ahead. We knew that information from others who preceded us in this nightmare had already contributed significantly, so we agreed to participate in the current research study. Our son was randomly assigned to a treatment protocol that involved the most intense sequence of drugs: cranial radiation followed by two or three years of monthly IV vincristine and cyclophosphamide on consecutive days, in addition to the standard L–Asparaginase, 6–mercaptopurine, prednisone, and intrathecal methotrexate. We understood that the "experimental" aspect of the protocol was the cyclophosphamide. The most urgent decision related to this regimen was whether to insert a Broviac catheter in order to facilitate the administration of the vincristine and cyclophosphamide. For reasons that escape memory at this point, the decision was made not to do the Broviac. I confess that I was relieved not to have the additional responsibility of cleaning it and maintaining a sterile environment on a busy two year–old boy, but he did get a few vincristine burns over the years. The medical team at the hospital and clinic was an outstanding group of highly trained professionals, including a wonderful nurse practitioner and a psychologist, in addition to the renowned physicians and residents in training. They were patient with us and tried to answer our endless questions, even as they kept emphasizing the importance of "informed consent." Both my husband and I address problems and challenges through education and research, and we immersed ourselves in textbooks that defined all the different types of blood cells and blood diseases and cancers. If the medical team wanted us to be informed but not to focus on statistical outcomes, we thought the least we could do would be to try to understand the biology and chemistry of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Within a matter of just a few weeks, the doctors told us the disease was in remission, and we all heaved a big sigh of relief. We began to consider how to lead our lives with this "new normal" as something that would be with us forever. The medical team told us there was a strong probability that our son would develop a learning...

Katey Rayner: Always Asking Questions.

As the youngest of five sisters, Katey Rayner could perhaps have been at risk of being overshadowed. But that never happened. As a child, she was outspoken, always debating, dissecting people’s arguments, and constantly asking, why? In those early days, the endless questioning was a way to rationalize and understand the world. But by the time Rayner was an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, the questions became more focused: How do diseases happen? What are their molecular pathologies? How can they be treated? Later in her career, Rayner added new, equally important questions: How do I give a talk? How do I write a grant? How do I write an article? These questions were aimed at garnering advice, but not necessarily to follow, she says. Rayner curates advice, essentially polling people to see what’s out there. And this aspect of her character, she insists, helps her achieve her goals and stay one step ahead when making career plans. Rayner is currently the Director of the Cardiometabolic MicroRNA Laboratory at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, where she and her team investigate how microRNAs contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and how microRNAs may be used to treat cardiovascular diseases in the future.1,2 I grew up in Ottawa, Canada, where I am now. The summers are very hot and the winters are very cold—as a kid, I walked backwards to school because the wind was so cold in my face.

It was something that came easily to me—I was a typical bookworm. But I wasn’t particularly fascinated with nature. One of the things I always …

Abbot Aelian is determined to fight off the unicorns, enlisting the help of various heroes over the years and defensive strategies, but it takes a curious outsider kid (sent to the abbey to spare his parents his endless questions) to save the day. The grace of the narrative and the cozy sense that all will undoubtedly end well create a warm, readaloud-ready volume. Unfortunately, there’s not much tension here: even when things appear to be going wrong, there’s a flatness to the tone and a lack of urgency to the problem itself which is, in the end, simply the eating of apples. It’s not quite clear if this is single story or a linked collection: the original source was a Yolen short story from 1994, and there’s a curious lack of connection between the chapters on occasion. Format questions aside, however, Yolen fans will recognize and appreciate her capture of the everyday as magical and characters who act from a kind, earnest core.

Paradox and Polemic; Argument and Awkwardness: Reflections on E. P. Thompson

This paper situates E. P. Thompson and the attraction and influence of his major study, The Making of the English Working Class (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1968), within his insistence on constructing history as argument. Often polemical, Thompson's approach to history also appreciated paradox. In writing as he always did, against the grain of conventional wisdoms, be they of the right or the left, Thompson understood that he would always be situated awkwardly in terms of how his interpretation challenged established orthodoxies. This awkwardness, and its rootedness in refusal to accommodate too easily to established analysis, has proven Thompson's lasting contribution. It nurtured unique historical sensibilities, creative and rigorous use of source materials, and writing marked by panache and passion. The result is that The Making of the English Working Class remains as relevant today as it was 50 years ago, a landmark study whose arguments and their implications are with us yet, and whose suggestions have spawned countless fresh studies and endless research questions.
