Live Coding Research Articles

What would a Webchuck Chuck?

Webchuck is a new platform for real-time web-based music synthesis. Combining expressive music programming power with the ubiquity of web browsers is a game changer, one which we've experienced in recent teaching at Stanford's CCRMA. The paper will describe how this has fulfilled a long-sought promise for accessible music making and simplicity of experimentation. The Chuck music programming language now runs anywhere a browser can and a link is all it takes. Sample-synchronous live coding alongside full-on studio functionality is what a Webchuck can Chuck, thanks to advances in the web audio API.

Russian Overcoming of Global Value-Based Segregation

The article provides a modern answer to Adam Smith’s classic question on how exactly the vital assets of peoples are created in the states. It is shown that vital assets in the states are originally created through extraction (for a human), production (for a human) and imputation (into a human), which are three qualitatively different main types of vital creativity. This results in identification of three main patterns of life: extractive, productive and imputative. It is argued that with any basic form of life creativity, creation of a changing variety of life assets in the states is carried out mainly due to inclusion of a larger mental component in all creative chains. However, creation of a larger mental capacity can occur only through the concomitant and inevitable expenditure of both the same energy and the same information. Inevitable need for this mentioned expenditure (consumption) is the creative "damnation" of mankind. Strategies for Russia's exit from modern interstate exploitation are described. It is а proved that strategically and epochally the best way for Russia to get out of this system of exploitation is to recreate a sovereign, full-fledged three-pattern vitality, where combination of the main life patterns satisfies the life code that is historically inherent in Russia. It is shown that due to the presence of the mentioned “damnation”, modern Russia has got an energy “lever” that is sufficient (if used correctly) to create its own anti-segregation macro-regional cooperants without pattern-based segregation.

An Analysis of Good Qualities of Human Beings Generally and Leaders Especially: An Islamic Law Perspective

Leader is that person who is followed by other persons and not following other persons. Leader inspires other persons and makes more leaders rather than making followers and he is enthusiastic about future and leads a group towards successful and prosperous future. Islamic Law is revelation of Almighty Allah revealed on the last Prophet Muhammad for betterment of human beings in both worlds. Islamic Law is a complete code of life provides guidelines required to be followed in all aspects of life to achieve success. Prophet Muhammad led a group later conquered more than half world by following teachings of Almighty Allah and Prophet Muhammad. The vision of a leader is comprised of (i) Motive, (ii) Intention, and (iii) Object. Motive is an idea developed by leader, intention is an action upon motive and object is the reason of struggle. Some leadership qualities include (i) Truthfulness, (ii) Trustworthiness, (iii) Justice, (iv) Knowledge, (iv) Fearlessness, (v) Calmness, and (vi) Selflessness. This study is a qualitative method of research point out and describe qualities of a leader under verses of Holy Book Quran and authentic traditions of Prophet Muhammad. Almighty Allah says “O’ believers! Fully enter in Islam and do not follow footsteps of an evil, indeed he is your true enemy”. Prophet Muhammad said “Muslim can do other sins but he cannot tell a lie”. Similarly, a Muslim cannot defraud his followers otherwise he cannot be considered a good leader. Knowledgeable and powerful person is given more importance under Islam Law over a lay man and a weak person and he who accepts Islam and believes in (i) Almighty Allah, (ii) His angels, (iii) His books including Holy Quran (iv) His messengers including Prophet Muhammad, (v) day of judgment, (vi) good-bad fate, and (vii) resurrection after death has no fear of future and he is not sad on his past. It is therefore recommended that youngsters are required to follow teachings prescribed in Holy Quran and authentic traditions of Prophet Muhammad for benefits in this world as well as in hereafter.

The Prion Basis of Progressive Neurodegenerative Disorders.

The discovery of proteinaceous infectious agents by Prusiner in 1982 was sensational. All previously known pathogens contained nucleic acids, the code of life, that enabled them to reproduce. In contrast, the proteinaceous agents of disease, called prion proteins (PrP), lacked nucleic acids and propagated by binding to the functional, endogenous form of cellular prion protein (referred to as PrPC) and altering its conformation to produce the infectious disease-causing misfolded protein (referred to as PrPSc). The accumulation and aggregation of these infectious prion proteins within the brain cause destruction of neural tissue and lead to fatal spongiform encephalopathies. In this review, we present the molecular pathology of prion-based diseases. These insights are of particular importance since the principles of prion pathogenesis apply to other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Collectively, the global prevalence of these diseases is rapidly increasing while effective therapies against them are still lacking. Thus, the need to understand their etiology and pathogenesis is urgent, and it holds profound implications for societal health.

URDU-JURISPRUDENTIAL STATUS OF RULES OF LAW IN MITIGATION OF SHARIAH ORDERS

The welfare of human kind in individualand collective live is in believing and following Islamic way of life. Islamic code of life exalts the human kind to new dimentions. It has a code of life for all times and universal, not subservient to time and space. On the contemporary, Islamic code of life with all its manufestation is as much work-able and needed today as it was it was in the early glorious period of Islam. Allah, in all His mercy has made the "Islam" simple, workable with exceptions and relief where ever one feels difficulty, danger or deprivation. Based on the Quran, the Holy Prophet guided the followers on such matter where exceptions or relief was needed. After ther Holy Prophet, the reponsibility of guidance was taken out by his companions, after their period the Imams coded all the problems in "fiqah". Today the human kind, particulary Muslims face new chalangesregardingdifferent problems in the matter of practice. This study has established guidance and solutions in the form of exceptions and relief given in Sharia. The hall-mark of it is that Allah and his Prophet has provided relief where ever it is needed.

RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY AND ISLAM: AN APPRAISAL OF PLURALISM IN MALAYSIA

Religious Diversity is as old as mankind's history. From old cavern occupants to the social orders of the great empire of China, India, Iran, Egypt, and Babylon, religion as the human journey for the divine showed itself in an assortment of dialects, reverential practices, myths, and customs. Certain scholars put forward some religious theologies regarding such kind of diversity. Islam is divine religion and complete code of life, which also gives some principles about religious diversity. It is a general misconception that Islam is a biased and prejudiced religion. This article highlights the Islamic injunctions based on Quran regarding religious diversity, correcting the misconception about the biasedness of Islam. In the context of Islamic injunctions, this research paper discusses theological and Islamic approaches towards exclusivist-inclusivist-pluralistic trichotomy. It also discusses the Malaysian approach towards religious diversity and multi-ethnicity, where the Muslim majority is living with the people of other religions with love and respect as the biggest example of religious harmony in today’s world. The objective of this paper is to portray religious theologies and circumstances in today’s Malaysia where multi-ethnic and multi-faith people exist with harmony, mutual regard, and understanding, however remain institutionally separate.

THE ROLE OF PROPHETIC LETTERS IN CALLING TO RELIGION AND SPREADING ISLAM

The call to religion and the publication of Islam has an important and unique position in all heavenly and non-heavenly religions, which is the characteristic and attribute of other religions that could not remain stable among the People of the Book. The religion, the religion of Islam and its eternal and eternal code of life, was sent as an emissary, and after the Prophethood, the Prophet (ﷺ) sent to various emperors and kings of the world by writing books, writings and letters to various companions of the Prophet regarding the invitation to religion and the propagation of Islam. It is a bright chapter in Islamic history regarding the call to religion and the spread of Islam. In the present era, the chain is still established and permanent. It is a regular link of the same chain and after you, peace be upon him, this chain will remain permanent and permanent. Even in the secret of the world, we see the preaching of the religion and the propagation of Islam, thus this responsibility has been made mandatory for the people who will come to doomsday. For the sake of spreading the religion of Islam, Allah Almighty sent about two hundred thousand Prophets (peace be upon them) to the world. It was to make them know Allah Almighty and to take them out of the deep darkness of misguidance and misguidance. The existence of the world is owed to the divine religion. As long as the religion of Allah Almighty remains in the world, this system of the world will continue and when there are no believers of Allah in the world, the world will be destroyed.

যৌন হয়রানি ও ইসলামী আইনে-এর প্রতিকার : বাংলাদেশ পরিপ্রেক্ষিত |Sexual Harassment and Its Remedies in Islamic Law : Bangladesh Perspective

Islam, as an ideology, philosophy and complete code of life, ensures the freedom and security of mankind. It provides the well-defined guidelines to keep the humanity pure and protected from all kinds of moral degradation and sins and impurity. A person with good morals can never harm others. The main goal of Islam is to build an ideal society by improving the moral character of mankind. In Islam, all forms of unregulated sexual behavior including extramarital sex, homosexuality, sexual harassment, rape, have been declared completely prohibited. Adultery and rape are ugly vices in any social life. Islamic discipline is the best way to prevent uncontrolled sexual behavior. This article attempts to prove with the Qur’an and Sunnah based evidences and logical discussion that true peace lies in the proper maintenance of Islam. The article also proves that the safety of women folks is a highly important issue in the concerned Islamic law as a whole. Descriptive, analytical and comparative methods have been followed in preparing the article.

Live Coding Machine Learning: Finding the Moments of Intervention in Autonomous Processes

Abstract Machine learning (ML) deals with algorithms able to learn from data, with the primary aim of finding optimum solutions to perform tasks autonomously. In recent years there has been development in integrating ML algorithms with live coding practices, raising questions about what to optimize or automate, the agency of the algorithms, and in which parts of the ML processes one might intervene midperformance. Live coding performance practices typically involve conversational interaction with algorithmic processes in real time. In analyzing systems integrating live coding and ML, we consider the musical and performative implications of the “moment of intervention” in the ML model and workflow, and the channels for real-time intervention. We propose a framework for analysis, through which we reflect on the domain-specific algorithms and practices being developed that combine these two practices.

The National Character of Ukraine: Genesis, Essence, Testing, State Subjectivity

The phenomenon of the national character of Ukraine is analyzed as a separate geopolitical reality, socio-cultural integrity and an independent state, which appears as the subject of actions and relations at various levels and dimensions - political, cultural, religious, social, economic, etc. The study is actualized by the phenomenon of Ukraine's insurmountable resistance to Russian military aggression, in the foundations of which are exactly the archetypal mental codes of Ukrainian life. National character is defined as an inherited and habitual set of traits and norms of behavior and value orientations of this integrity, which determine the form and content of reactions/responses to the influence of external factors. At the same time, the reconstruction of the national character involves taking into account empirical criteria and psychological patterns, properties and signs, followed by the identification of its essence. Also important are comparative and typological approaches, which make it possible to identify multiple objects, as well as a historical approach, which enables a retrospective vision of the origins and factors of the emergence of the Ukrainian character over time. Ukraine, as a subject, carries out certain activities aimed at mastering objective and spiritual reality, and is, at the same time, the bearer of certain features that makes such activities possible. Becoming a subject, Ukraine itself is (and should remain) an objective reality, that is, it has an ontological dimension, while possessing certain rational and spiritual and practical means allowing us to understand the world and transform it in the desired direction. Ukraine, as an integral carrier of the national character, must implement the following features into the system of its international communication, both official and non-governmental: persistence, consistency, stability, demandingness and, at the same time, benevolence, mutual understanding, obligation, responsibility and tolerance.

Teaching Programming by Revealing Thinking Process: Watching Experts’ Live Coding Videos With Reflection Annotations

Contribution: Programming is a complex cognitive activity that involves both conceptual understanding and procedural skills, which is challenging for novices. To develop both program comprehension and implementation competency, this study proposed a live-coding-based instruction. Experts’ live coding with think-aloud was recorded. Students then learn algorithmic planning and coding skills by observing experts’ thinking and coding processes from the videos. To deploy this pedagogical strategy, a learning platform was developed to present the videos to students who could also annotate their reflection about the videos in the system to deepen their understanding of syntax and concepts of computer programming. Background: Traditional lecture-based programming instruction focuses more on the explanation of syntax and concepts but lacks revealing the dynamic and nonlinear thinking and coding process. Research Questions: This study is to explore the effects of live-coding-based instruction on students’ programming knowledge, including declarative program knowledge (program comprehension) and procedural program knowledge (coding skills), and whether the instruction changes their attitude toward programming learning or not. Methodology: An empirical study was conducted with 33 high-school students who were novice programmers in one semester to explore the effectiveness of the live-coding-based instruction and the use of the learning platform. Findings: The experiment results show that watching flowcharting ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$r=0.369, p \mathbf { &lt; }0.05$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ) or coding processes ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$r=0.409, p \mathbf { &lt; }0.05$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ) of experts improves coding skills. This implies that explicit depiction of algorithmic planning and coding processes are essential for building procedural programming knowledge. In addition, reflection on syntactic content of experts’ programming plays an important role in programming ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$r=0.511,p \mathbf { &lt; }0.01$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ). The research findings suggest that programming instruction could focus more on developing students’ problem-solving abilities by demonstrating the dynamic and nonlinear programming processes and providing opportunities for students to reflect on how syntactic knowledge could be applied to programming.

Ethics and Morality in journalism; Islamic review, an analysis

Almighty Allah has created human beings as his representative and sent them to the world as his representatives. Islam has designated as universal system of life as a complete code of life to guide human life in a beautiful and smooth way. In this system or code of life, the beautiful and well-ordered regulation of all matters of human life , there is no issue that has not been fully discussed in Islam. Journalism is a noble profession. People of all classes, professions, religions and races of the world are involved in journalism and, mass media in one way or another. The scope of journalism and mass media is so vast that its importance human life is no less. This important issue cannot be imagined outside of Islam. Also, the important qualities closely related to journalism are ethics and morality. Islam has specific rules for journalism; if followed, this great profession will become human welfare and universal. In this essay, along with the introduction of journalism in the critical essay, what is the ethics of journalism and perspective of Islam in this regard; it will be discussed in detail.

Returning to the Continuum

Improvisatory musical practices are often characterized as lying on a continuum between complete prior determination and complete in-the-moment novelty. Continua allow music analysts to avoid problematic absolutisms and enrich their comparative analyses, but their construction ultimately relies on typological distinctions. The poles or dimensions of the continuum must be defined, and this is where much of the theoretical work actually lies—including in constructing new typological distinctions. To this end, I discuss and demonstrate how a typological distinction between embodied and propositional improvisation—a distinction primarily motivated by (but not limited to) a performance practice called Live Coding—predicates a music-analytical research program. I show how this typological distinction forms productive connections with cognitive-scientific research that helps refine the distinction and its application to music analysis, and then use it to discuss the relative contributions of typologies versus continua in the analysis of musical improvisation more generally.

Ethical Deliberations on the Gene-Editing CRISPR-Cas9 Designer Babies: Islamic Perspective

The discovery of the genetic editing tool, CRISPR-Cas9, has enabled us to edit the human genome by removing or adding sections of the DNA. Scientists hope to eradicate some fatal diseases by using this technology. In short, CRISPR allows us to rewrite the code of life in contrast to discovery of the double helix where we can only read and understand our genome. Both somatic and germline editing can be done by this technology; however, they involve different ethical standpoints. The latter is controversial as it affects the reproductive cells, hence raising complex ethical dilemmas. Jennifer Doudna, a Noble prize winner in 2020, has contributed to the discovery of the CRISPR technology. She has never thought that this technology might be morally misused by others like the case of the Chinese scientist named He Jianki who produced the world's first CRISPR babies (Isaacson, 2021). Jianki's goal was to make the babies and their decedents immune to a deadly HIV virus; he knew that this announcement would be earth-shaking news that would ignite outrage among conservatives and religious scholars in the West and Islamic world alike. Heated ethical deliberations have taken place following this incident by various groups, and each group believes that they have valid arguments for their reasoning. The opponents of the CRISPR germline editing argue that this technique violates one of the most important moral principles which is autonomy. Informed consent is an important element to ensure the subject's agreement to the treatment or procedure. The effect of germline editing will extend to future generations where autonomy would be neglected in this case (Hammerstein, 2019). This is concurrent with the moral view of Francis Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Collins argued that humans should not have the hubris to fiddle with nature (Skerrett, 2015). The CRISPR supporters, on the other side, argue that it would be immoral not to choose what are the best genes for you and your child (Savulescu, 2001), especially if germline editing can alleviate human suffering. The famous philosopher who advocated this approach is Julian Savulescu, a professor in practical ethics at Oxford University. In Islamic bioethics, religious scholars make an ethical distinction between somatic and germline editing. They based their moral reasoning on two broad questions: what kind of cells will be edited, and what is the aim of editing? They legalized the use of somatic gene editing as it is confined to one person and does not affect the offspring; hence no ethical concerns arise. However, the majority of the scholars have condemned the use of germline editing and called for a temporary moratorium especially if mixing lineage is at stake (Ghaly, 2019). Following the news of the designer babies and its widespread media coverage, the International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA), which represents Muslim countries and communities, convened a session in 2019 in the United Arab Emirates. They issued resolutions that corroborate the international calls to halt germline editing until further research proves its efficacy and safety. Moreover, they called to restrict the use of this technique for medical purposes and not for aesthetics or enhancement. Also, the committee stressed that human dignity should be preserved without exploitation. Therefore, more regulations are warranted (International Fiqh Academy, 2019).

Woman in Manoj Kurur's work

Human population who were straggling in the forest, started living as a society. This society of people disclosed their ascent identities such as lifestyle, Culture, rituals, belief, work, food habits, dress, language, arts, worship and etc. when we look over the Pazhanthamizh community, Sangham literature plays a major role in them. The Biological aspects of early people have been established through poets, Royal poets, Feminine poets and etc., when we see on the cultural aspects, women’s have separate place in their land in which they haved shaped their lifestyles for generations. In the changing environmental community, there are many changes in Political, Economical and Cultural elements. In order to reveal them creators have established their analysis through voices to the human community. However, until the gender difference of male and female is taught, just like the two sides of a win struggles for women’s rights and feminist voices will not rest up. In the life of women who were taught about virtuosity, the code of life in the sangham period have been desalted and imposed their morals. By Manoj Kurur’s creations we can come to know about the young generations of oppressed sangham women’s who broke their social customs and restrictions. This article examine’s the control x restraint in the opposition of the Novel in Malayalam “Nilam Poothu Malarntha Nall” in which a femine voice is brought through a male voice.

Precautionary measures for infectious diseases in the light of Islamic Shariah (An Analytical study)

Islam is not only a religion of religious adulation but also provides a complete and sufficient knowledge on all stages of human life. It has provided us complete knowledge on maintenance of human’s health and purifications. Furthermore, it has guided us to abstain from all the harmful things which causes damage to human’s life. Among all the sicknesses, infectious diseases cause the most hazardous effect on mankind all around the world. In recent COVID-19 pandemic situation, World Health Organization (WHO) has specified the precautionary measures to ensure the safety of human health. According to the guidelines instructed by World Health Organization, Government and health specialists around the world take some initiatives to control the extent of infectious virus. It is considered to be the most contagious when people are most symptomatic. In general, there are few or no treatment options for viral diseases. There are some precautions to be taken to overcome the pandemic. These steps include; frequently cleaning of hands with soap or alcohol based sanitizer, covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, keeping distance from persons with cold and flu. Islam is a complete code of life for mankind. It strongly emphasis on the precautions and cleanliness. Hence in present-day condition the guidelines provided by health organizations are already mentioned in Islamic Shariah and was followed by ?a??bahs and Islamic authorities. No doubt we must consider Islamic teachings for the betterment of society. Firstly, as a Muslim it is important to seek Allah’s protection and being a responsible citizen, it is obligatory to act upon the precautions specified by the health specialists and strictly follow the rules indicated by Government. In this article, the traditions and teachings of Holy Prophet SAW regarding the health, cleanliness and religious rituals are discussed along with the safety measurements provided by WHO which includes cleanliness, better healthy food, quarantine, and social distancing etc. will be discussed thoroughly.&#x0D;

"The hysteria of a little flue": effects of COVID-19 on HEIs in Brazil.

This essay will look at the key challenges public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) faced in Brazil during the COVID-19 lockdown. The pandemic led universities to close their campuses and adopt an online interface for academic activities. However, many of these institutions do not have the technological infrastructure for such, nor did the staff and students who suffered further social exclusions. The president of Brazil referred to the pandemic as a “little flu” and later on responded to measures adopting the lockdown as a “hysteric” act that “will lead to an economic crash”. Considering the lack of support from the government and the process of dismantling resources for public HE since the beginning of the new presidency elected in 2018, the COVID-19 lockdown quickly revealed the institutional racism, elitism and ableism evident in this administration’s agenda. The consequence of the agenda is the cuts on research funds and lack of infrastructure to provide online classes, as examples of the severe policies that promote the erasure of marginalised groups. Such policies follow Sylvia Wynter’s “Argument”, revealing a code of symbolic life and death of how human order organises itself through the coloniality of power/being. In order to show how such symbolic code is engraved in the Brazilian educational system, this study explores narratives of staff and students from three universities per region of Brazil to identify how the colonial legacies are correlated with postulates of power in the Brazilian HEIs setting during the pandemic. The paper discusses the challenges experienced while keeping the HE sector active during a pandemic that the government has belittled. The conclusions advocate for organised strategies at the union and social movements level to dismantle the colonial occupation put in place in the foundation of the HEIs and reinforced by the current necropolitical administration.

Live coding choreography: real-time programming with Terpsicode

ABSTRACT This article aims to explore live coding of choreography as real time scoring of the dance performance it is creating. It will define live coding as a performance practice, and way of creating choreographic scores, as well as consider some forms of esoteric programming languages (esolangs) as forms of multicoding and explanations of text. It will then explore the work Terpsicode, a live coding language created to make choreography in real-time resulting in duets for coder and dancer and discuss the ways in which Terpsicode is used in performance by creating visual scores from dance terminology. Terpsicode is a demonstration not only of live coding choreography but of multicoding, allowing for both text and visuals to notate the dance score in real-time while the dancers are interpreting the score into movement.

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race

دور حاضر میں جھوٹ کی مروجہ صورتیں اور قرآن و سنت کی روشنی میں ان کا تدارک

Islam is a complete code of life. Islam has completely guided humanity in both worldly and religious affairs. All the principles of life have been defined in the Quran and Hadith; therefore, it has been allowed to do those things that lead to the welfare and success of the human being and the society, and it has been forbidden to do those things that cause destruction in the society and mischief arises. One of these things is lying. Lying is not only prohibited in the Qur'an and Hadith. Rather, the bad effects of lies on human society have also been described, how much loss is caused to the person himself and then to other human beings due to one lie. But despite this, many Muslims commit lies on such occasions, which they do not consider to be sins, so how can such acts lead to repentance. Therefore, in this paper, these cases of telling lies which have become common in the society nowadays are described so that a Muslim can save himself from these sins.
