Thérèse Bonney, the Bonney Service and the Business of Syndicated Photography, 1922–45

Photography by Thérèse Bonney (1894–1978) has appeared in exhibitions on women’s roles within modernism and World War II, and research has been completed on aspects of her most famous publication: Europe’s Children (1943). Yet scholars have not grappled with the importance of her syndicated business, the Bonney Service, in the distribution of ideas around the globe, or how to reconcile her photographs of design with her later images of World War II. Her desire was to train the eye to feel the haptic qualities of her images and distinguish through careful looking her intertwining of materiality, identity and democratic values. She understood the need to share multiple images over a sustained time to convince people that her pictorial interpretation was accurate. As part of a larger book project rooted in a years-long investigation of Bonney’s archive, this article seeks to begin these complicated conversations about Bonney’s legacy in the USA and her artistic range, and to reinsert Bonney into the history of photography she helped canonise but in which she has since been minimised.

Abusive constitutionalism in Poland - on the self-delegitimisation of the judiciary

The concept of abusive constitutionalism became widespread in legal scholarship after David Landau's famous publication. The author defines abusive constitutionalism as "the use of constitutional amendment mechanisms to make a state significantly less democratic than it was before" . He refers to actions that make a particular regime "significantly less democratic" . The result, he points out, is to move away from democracy . He pointed to 2013 as examples of this trend - Honduras, Venezuela or Hungary. "De-democratisation" of constitutional mechanisms is also, in my view, relevant from the perspective of the Polish experience, though viewed differently than usually presented in the political debates. It turns out that democratic mechanisms and their implementation are undermined by those judiciary representatives who, simultaneuosly, accuse the authorities introducing solutions in line with democratic principles of violating the rule of law.

Venice's Amazon? Giustina Renier Michiel's Strategic Accommodation of Occupying Forces

Abstract: Giustina Renier Michiel, one of the most prolific female authors of early nineteenth-century Italy, is often remembered and celebrated as a Venetian patriot. During her lifetime, however, her literary identity was neither singular nor completely cohesive. Indeed, reading her manuscript writing alongside her more famous publications (including her history of Venetian festivals) illustrates the delicate balance Italian authors needed to maintain in order to ensure their continued literary success in a period marked by multiple and rapid regime changes. While obliged to work within the power structures established by their new political overlords, they nonetheless needed to remain sensitive to the tastes of Italian readers, who were subjected to the political occupation of their territory. Renier Michiel's experience demonstrates how it was possible to balance patriotism, political deference, and professional self-promotion with the goal of establishing a lasting cultural legacy.

Role of authentication factors in Fin-tech mobile transaction security

Fin-Tech is the merging of finance and technology, to be considered a key term for technology-based financial operations and money transactions as far as Fin-Tech is concerned. In the massive field of business, mobile money transaction security is a great challenge for researchers. The user authentication schemes restrict the ability to enforce the authentication before the account can access and operate. Although authentication factors provide greater security than a simple static password, financial transactions have potential drawbacks because cybercrime expands the opportunities for fraudsters. The most common enterprise challenge is mobile-based user authentication during transactions, which addresses the security issues against fraudsters. The confirmation of a user legitimation before the money transaction is highlighted by mechanisms and technologies from previous studies that may be helpful in user authentication. This study aims to identify the technologies for user authentication and the opportunity for their transformation to mobile money transaction security despite having all the legally required data for a transaction. This proposed review has identified the role of multifactor authentication techniques for authentication to mitigate the risk of fraudulent transactions—the analysis through 92 articles taken from famous publishers. The most relevant articles address authentication problems, of which 54 percent describe money transaction security, and the rest highlight the supporting technology for user authentication. The study platform described the technology-based approaches with the appreciation of new ideas for secure money transactions. The QR code and multifactor authentication are key terms that increased security by 46%. In addition, this also ensures the user is legitimate using advanced technologies and algorithms to predict and discover transaction risks and discourage fraudsters from trying.

Contribution de Louis Pasteur à la sécurité microbiologique des aliments/Louis Pasteur's contribution to the microbiological safety of food

We should thank Louis Pasteur for the essential concepts of medical microbiology, but some 30 years before he achieved the status of benefactor of humanity with the vaccination-treatment of rabies, one of the two pionneers of bacteriology (with the German Robert Koch) published his first observations on fermentations. His famous publication on lactic acid fermentation in 1857 established the concepts of the microbial ecology of food. This work on ferments and their activities led to modern biotechnology, but the ideas contained therein also laid the scientific foundation for food preservation techniques to ensure food quality and safety. Key ecological factors such as acidity, temperature and microbial competition were identified, as well as fundamental characteristics such as biological variability and the predictability of the evolution of microbial ecosystems

Gutenberg, chemistry and the advancement of knowledge

This article is a brief review of the history of printing, centred around the life and inventions of Johannes Gutenberg, who is widely regarded as the father of printing. Starting with what we know of the earliest developments in printing in China, the article will present the little knowledge we have about Gutenberg’s life and a summary of his contribution to the invention and development of the printing press and its associated technologies. This will be illuminated by an examination of how his most famous publication, the 42-line Gutenberg Bible, came to be created. Gutenberg’s improvements to the chemistry of metal type and printing ink are outlined. The crucial importance of printing on the development of European society in the critical periods of the Reformation and the Renaissance and in the development and culture of science is obvious, but the lasting impact of the language of printing in today’s world is surprising.

The article is based on the documents of the V. R. Vavrik in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library.

О научном творчестве Н.С. Гуляницкой

The article is devoted to the anniversary date — 95th anniversary of the outstanding scientist, professor of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, Doctor of Art History Natalia Sergeevna Gulyanitskaya. Gulyanitskaya is a prominent figure in modern musical science, whose works are well-known in Russia and abroad, for thirty years she headed Department of Music Theory of Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, for twenty years she headed the Dissertation Council of the Academy. As a scientific adviser N. S. Gulyanitskaya trained dozens of young scientists (candidates of art criticism). The article deals with Gulyanitskaya’ major monographic works and textbooks in such thematic areas as modern harmony, Russian sacred music, modern composition, and the methodology of modern musicology. In each of these branches of musicology, this scientist made a huge scientific contribution, laying the fundamental foundations for further research. The article gives a broad idea about the books of this famous scientist, published in the famous publishing houses in the period from the late 1970s to today. «Introduction to Music Harmony» (1984), «Modern Harmony: A Series of Lectures on the Course of Harmony for Students of Music Universities» (1977), Harmony and Rationalization Methods in the Music of 50s (Interpretation and Criticism) (1982) –– books by N. S. Gulyanitskaya devoted to the harmony in the music of the XXth century. «Russian “Harmonic Singing”» (XIXth Century) is the first study in Post-Soviet science that studies the Russian tradition of liturgical singing of the XIX century. «Poetics of Musical Composition: Theoretical Aspects of Russian Sacred Music of the 20th Century» (2002) – work by N. S. Gulyanitskaya, which presents the sacred music of the beginning and end of the twentieth century. «Russian Music: the Formation of the Tonal System, XI-XX centuries» (2005) examines tonal organization in works if various styles and genres, including spiritual ones. «Music Science Methods» (2009) is a pioneering study on the methodology of modern music science. «Musical Composition: modernism, postmodernism (history, theory, practice)» (2014) and «About Modern Composition» (2019) are devoted to the study of contemporary art of musical composition.

G. de Molinari: the Building of a Rigorous Economic Method

Abstract Gustave de Molinari (1819–1912) is one of the most important representatives of the French liberal school in the 19th century. Although a Belgian by birth, he is, without contest, a member of the French tradition in the same way as Jean-Baptiste Say or Frédéric Bastiat. Yet, his work is little-known, or only limited to the knowledge of his most controversial theories, which are set out in his most famous publications, “De la Production de la Sécurité.

Beyond Scientificity: Extensions and Diffractions in Post-Normal Science’s Ethos

Sixty years have passed since Merton’s famous publication of “a note on science and democracy,” outlining the scientific ethos via four sets of norms, namely communism, universalism, disinterest­edness, and organized skepticism (CUDOS). Merton’s rationale was that the implementation of this ethos was instrumental in realizing science’s institutional goal: “the extension of certified knowledge.” Throughout the ensuing decades, Merton’s conception has been at the center of heated debates in the emerging field of science and technology studies. It has also been addressed by em­pirical studies with a view to determine the scale at which CUDOS was supported by scientists them­selves in explicit terms and/or conformed to in their actual practice. Some of these studies also make room for the possibility that CUDOS might have evolved throughout the past decades, incrementally adapting the norm sets. This article contributes to such empirical endeavors. Building on ethno­graphic work at a technology assessment (TA) institute, I find that a distinct shared ethos is tangible in TA’s post-normal science practices—in collaborations with non-scientists as well as with “pure academics.” A reconstruction of TA’s distinct ethos from my empirical material results in the delin­eation of a post-normal scientific ethos, comprising “extended communism,” “diffracted uni­versal­ism,” “diffracted disinterestedness,” “extended organized skepticism,” “diffracted originality,” and “extended relevance.” These “extensions” and “diffractions” have ramifications for the organiza­tion of post-normal science and its interaction with academia, publics, and polities.

Proposed 21st Century Learning Themes in English Classrooms

In many universities in Indonesia, English is still a mandatory subject. The universities provide the courses under the names Bahasa Inggris (English), English for Academic purposes, English I to II, English for Proficiency, English for Health Science, etc. Different universities give 2 credits, 3 credits, or more than 4 credits. The teaching materials used are from various sources, such as from the internet, English books published by famous publishers, or modules written by the lecturers. However, the materials provided are often not suitable for the current situation. Therefore, this research was conducted to investigate and seek better alternatives for English learning. What are the students’ target needs with respect to English class materials development? What are the students’ learning needs with respect to the development of English class material for Social and Political Science’s Students? And what suitable materials are available that are in line with 21st-century learning? This study surveyed 437 new students in the first semester from the Social and Political Science Faculty and eight English lecturers National University of Indonesia. Google form questionnaires were used to collect and analyze data. The three main indicators to be analyzed were: students’ present situation, students’ target situation, and students’ learning situation. The results show that 60.9% agree that the topics discussed relate to 21st-century learning, 80.3% of all necessary English skills are learned by the students, and they prefer learning from YouTube/social media and academic journals. Nearly half (46.9 %) were comfortable with learning through blended learning, and 95.6% agreed with the use of Google meet, Google classroom, and Zoom meetings. Furthermore, the materials considered appropriate to 21st-century learning include global awareness, finance, economics, business and entrepreneurial literacy, civic literacy, health literacy, and environmental literacy.

Туркестанские просветители и Исмаил Гаспринский (по материалам Бахчисарайского музея-заповедника и газеты «Терджиман»)

Based on the materials of the newspaper “Terzhiman” and books with gift inscriptions stored in the funds of the Bakhchisarai historical, cultural and archaeological museum-preserve, the closest circle of Turkestan acquaintances, like-minded people and associates of the famous all-Turkic educator, editor, and publisher Ismail Bey Gasprinsky (1851–1914) is considered. The article reveals the role of the educator in the formation of the national periodical press, new-fashioned educational literature and the dissemination of the Jadid education system in the territory of Turkestan. Through the editorial notes of the newspaper “Terzhiman”, books and periodicals lost from the personal collection of I. Gasprinsky were identified. His personal and creative contacts with prominent Turkestan teachers, publishers and public figures are considered, such as: M. Behbudi, K. Khalidi, A. Shakuri, A. Avloni, M. Kary, etc.

The Magnificent Spruce

After its success in the Thirty Years’ War, Sweden harbored ambitions to establish an empire. To sustain its efforts, statesmen realized the need to generate more domestic wealth. The ensuing debates gave rise to an improvement discourse, centered on the harnessing of Sweden’s abundant natural resources. While most improvement writers were patronized by the state and offered state-centered analyses, the protagonist of this essay, Anders Kempe (1622–1689), was a staunch critic of Sweden’s warmongering state. In his mind, the state had become an obstacle to true human flourishing, which recent scientific development had put within humanity’s grasp. Free from wars, predatory taxation, and miseducation, the Swedish people would be in a position to create a society of abundance and righteousness. Kempe’s main recipe for progress was to use recent advancements in natural philosophy to transform nature into useable wealth. In his most famous publication, The Anatomized Spruce (1675), Kempe elaborated on the economic and medicinal benefits that a proper understanding of the spruce tree, its bark, branches, sap, roots, and needles might yield. In sharing the focus on the transformation of nature with other Swedish Cameralist writers, but wholeheartedly rejecting the state, Kempe can be categorized as an anarcho-Cameralist.

The Idea of ‘Moral Relativism’ in the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche

In this paper, I shall apply the idea of ‘moral relativism’ in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The concept of ‘moral relativism’ has been closely related to postmodernism, and in particular proponents of Aristotlian reject Nietzsche’s kind of relativism, yet the issues remained part of Nietzsche’s philosophy and prominently situated in his philosophical works. Nietzsche talks about morality as antinature, he thinks that how morality is repressive ‘relative’ to what we might concern as the unbridled manifestation of wants and needs and appetites. In his famous publications of Beyond Good and Evil (1886) and On the Genealogy of Morals (1887), Nietzsche argues intensively and effectively about morality, his thought undoubtedly has a pronounced relativistic tendencies. Moral values are not universal and absolute, but are therefore conditional constructions of particular group at particular times with particular goals. Nietzsche speaks in the “interpretation” or “perspective” regarding morality or values in particular. According to Nietzsche, no one kind of morality is correct and neither is incorrect nor unacceptable for everyone; it should be noted that Nietzsche considers that each is correct for one type of person and incorrect for others. This makes it possible for Nietzsche to take a more important level on moral relativism.
