LCAart: Communicating industrial ecology at a human scale

AbstractThis Forum piece describes a collaborative project between engineering and architecture to visualize some of the most influential results from industrial ecology using human‐scale, photorealistic images that are quantitatively accurate. Our goal was to apply visualization theories and practices from art and architecture to address a major communication problem in our field: though inspirational in concept, in practice much industrial ecology research is difficult to comprehend for the average person. Models are large and complex, metrics are esoteric, and results are often reported on a scale that is devoid of personal meaning. Our strategy was to place hidden flows and embodied emissions in plain sight, creating images that show the environmental implications of consumption as absurd insertions into scenes of daily life, at a scale that is relatable and personally meaningful. We also compare with and discuss other artistic efforts around the world in the oeuvre of “Consumption Art,” providing historical context. Industrial ecology envisions a world where production systems can incorporate social and environmental implications in real‐time, where policy is informed by our best understanding of trade‐offs and inequities, and where the public has an appreciation for what actions are meaningful, all with the goals of improving quality of life for all while safeguarding the environment and human health. Effective communication of our research is vital to build consensus for policy and action toward this vision, and one under‐appreciated aspect of communication in our field is the sympathetic power of Art.

Кнут Гамсун в Сибири

The article is devoted to various forms of Hamsun’s influence on Siberian writers of the 1910–1930s. On the pages of Siberian periodicals, the Norwegian writer was often mentioned in theatrical chronicle, in the lists of European book novelties, in poetic texts, but he influenced most clearly the general northern flavour of the Siberian prose. Fifteen stories and short novellas of famous Siberian writers (Georgy Grebenshchikov, Isaak Goldberg, Anton Sorokin, Georgy Vyatkin) and almost forgotten writers (Stepan Isakov, Arseny Zhilyakov, Maximilian Kravkov) form the “Siberian Hamsuniana”, the distinctive features of which are “anti-urbanism”, “ethnography”, folklorism, northern landscapes and scenes of folk life. When studying the texts that became the subject of description in this article, the materials from an archive of the Siberian literature historian and critic N. N. Yanovsky were used, who collected and printed a book of short stories by S. Isakov and A. Zhilyakov in the mid-1980s with an introductory article, which sets out biographies of forgotten writers. In the introductory article to this book, it is mentioned that literary comrades called Stepan Isakov half-jokingly to be the “Siberian Hamsun”. When analyzing the Siberian prose on Hamsun themes, special attention was paid to the stylization elements of northern mythology, shamanistic predictions, various legends, which creates an image of Siberia similar to the image of northern Europe by Hamsun.

The Ancient Near East: History, Texts, etc.

The Ancient Near East:History, Texts, etc. Christopher T. Begg, William J. Urbrock, and Michael W. Duggan 1670. [Rendering of Accounts Theme] Georgia Barker, "Classification of a Funerary Model: The Rendering of Accounts Theme," JARCE 55 (2019) 5-13. The three-dimensional funerary models that were housed in burial chambers from the late Old Kingdom down to the end of the Middle Kingdom periods display a number of similarities with the so-called "scenes of daily life" found on ancient Egyptian tomb-chapel walls. A comparison of the two media might thus help classify otherwise unidentifiable artworks. One such funerary model currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon evidences many parallels with scenes depicting the rendering of accounts theme. This article examines the similarities in question in order to determine if the Lyon model can appropriately be understood as a representation of the above theme.

[Babylonian Priestly Families] Paul-Alain Beaulieu, "Temple Towns and Nation Building: Migrations of Babylonian Priestly Families in the Late Periods," JANER 19 (2019) 3-17 [see #1682]. This article surveys the Babylonian evidence regarding inter-city migrations of priests and their families. The phenomenon in question is already attested during the Old Babylonian period, and there are some indications that it continued under Kassite rule. However, most of the relevant evidence comes from temple archives of the 1st millennium, with a heavy concentration during the long sixth cent. (ca. 626–484 b.c.). Although numerous [End Page 609] studies have called attention to specific cases of priestly migrations, the phenomenon has not yet been assessed in its entirety. B. concludes that such migrations were far more common than previously thought. These migrations were motivated primarily by political considerations, e.g., the establishing of the cult of official deities at local sanctuaries or a need to maintain a memory landscape for venerable cult centers.

B. discusses the contents and significance of a papyrus document (P. Cairo Zen. 1 59004) that dates to 259 b.c.e. and records a list of eleven towns, including Kudissos (= Tel Kedesh on the Lebanese border in northern Israel), where the Egyptian bureaucrat Zenon acquired quantities of flour. Analyses of residue from ancient storage jars at the site indicate that the flour obtained there was probably made from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), perhaps to be equated with the previously unidentified "Syrian wheat."

Archaeology of the Path towards the Intellectual Formation of the State in Early Dynastic Egypt," MDAIK 74, 21-32 [see #2434]. During the so-called Early Intermediate Period (EIP, 3300–3150 b.c.) of ancient Egypt's history, the process of state formation generated diversity rather than simplification of material data, as had been thought earlier. An example of this phenomenon is the stratification of social groups whose access to resources defined their rank in society. Thus, e.g., while shallow bowls made of stone were utilized for exclusive mortuary meals celebrated with divinized ancestor gods in the hidden chambers of mastaba tombs in the Memphis area during the above period, shallow bowls made of clay were used by those strata of society that lacked access to the resources, infrastructure, and methods of production available to the elite. On the basis of both archaeological and textual evidence, our article argues that the emergence of social stratification in EIP Egypt was the result of an intellectual process. In this connection, the Pyramid Texts provide valuable, retrospective insight into the development of funerary rituals long prior to the Verschriftlichung of those rituals. As evidence from Tarkhan situated in the northern Nile valley shows, newly developed funerary rituals catered both to socialization with elite deities associated with shallow bowls as well to the living's offering of dishes in the context of funerary festivals...

FROG IN EGYPTIAN NOBLE TOMBS OF THE OLD KINGDOM: A SACRED SYMBOL OR A TYPICAL INHABITANT OF THE NILE MARSH?

According to the worldview of the ancient Egyptians, tomb scenes present depictions of the world, inhabited by the deceased’s Ka (‘double’), and this world incorporates only important things for tomb’s owner. In this regard, interpretations of frogs’ images in several noble tombs of the Old Kingdom still present problems for the researchers. To address this problem, the author considers several interpretation options of the tombs scenes, depicting amphibians, trying to find out the nature of the animal images — whether they are symbolic or not. Included here are also some other representatives of the animal world, depicted alongside with the frog in the scenes in question; briefly outlined are the main characteristics of the frog’s cult in the Old Kingdom and earlier. As a result, the author comes to following conclusions. Firstly, regardless of the meaning — sacred or not — underlying the tomb scene, the very fact of presence of animals and fish that actually live in the Nile marsh is very important. Secondly, all the scenes cover aspects of the so-called ‘scenes of everyday life’. Thus, the main purpose of those scenes is to provide the owner of the tomb with abundant offerings. To do this, it is necessary to depict and record them as accurately as possible in the moment of their acquisition. Therefore, the habitat of all the animals, depicted in these scenes, was very important, while the fact of their sacralization was not. Finally, we can conclude that the frog in this case is depicted as a typical inhabitant of the Nile marsh. In addition, it can be assumed that during the period of the Old Kingdom it was revered not only as a sacral element or the symbol of the goddess Heqet, but also as an amphibian with a special habitat.

Human Motion Gesture Recognition Algorithm in Video Based on Convolutional Neural Features of Training Images

The main work of human motion gesture recognition is to recognize and analyze the behavior of human objects in the video. Although the current research in the field of human motion gesture recognition has achieved certain results, the human motion gesture recognition in real life scenes has great effects due to factors such as camera movement, target scale transformation, dynamic background, viewing angle, and illumination. This article first proposes a new method of constructing human motion posture features to describe human behavior. This method is based on deep convolutional neural network features and topic models. Experiments have verified that compared with the traditional feature map extracted from the convolutional neural network fully connected layer, the feature map extracted from the convolutional neural network convolutional layer is not only lower in dimension but also has higher discrimination. Secondly, based on the feature map of the convolutional neural network, the training map downsampling strategy is used to overcome the interference caused by the object's scale change and shape change. Finally, based on the basketball gesture recognition method, the behavior performance of the legs and arms in 9 basketball actions of walking, running, jumping, standing dribbling, walking dribbling, running dribbling, shooting, passing and receiving is analyzed. As well as the corresponding signal waveform characteristics, a two-stage data division method for basketball is proposed. The unit action data is extracted for analysis to realize feature extraction. In order to select the most suitable classifier for basketball gesture recognition, the constructed feature vector uses four Different classifiers are trained to construct different classifiers to realize the division of actions.

Creative heritage of Lev Alperovich (1874–1913): from realism toward symbolism

The article presents Lev Alperovich, a little-known to general public Belarusian painter of the beginning of the 20th century, who was Ivan Trutnev’s student in Vilnius Drawing School and a student of Ilya Repin in the Emperor’s Arts Academy in St. Petersburg. The works of Lev Alperovich that survived after the World War II are kept in the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus. The analysis of the painter’s biography and creative heritage reveals a new vector which was gradually emerging in Minsk at the beginning of the 20th century, i.e remoteness from the academic late “peredvizhniki” realism and the ambition to find a niche in the evolving Russian modern style or the European Art Nouveau style and symbolism. Relatively sparse artistic heritage of Alperovich – single and group portraits, genrepainting, everyday life scenes and staffage landscapes – allows the author to single out this painter as a Belarusian painting phenomenon of the 20th century.

Classification of a Funerary Model

The three-dimensional funerary models housed in burial chambers of the late Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom display a number of similarities with the so-called scenes of daily life on tomb-chapel walls. A comparison of the two media can help to classify otherwise unidentifiable artworks. One such model, housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, displays many parallels with scenes depicting the theme of the rendering of accounts. This article examines these similarities in order to determine if the model should rightly be understood as a representation of this theme.

ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE ROLE OF ISLAM IN THE NOVEL “A TEMPEST-TESTED FATE” BY FIYUZA GATAULLINA

In regard to the growing interest of the people in religion, the Bashkir literature is changing. Modern writers are passionate about finding new methods and ways to display the values of the Islamic religion. Among them is Fiyuza Gataullina, whose spiritual investigations are determined by ideological and aesthetic content of the works and are inextricably linked to the religious atmosphere of the last century. Life experience and knowledge of Islamic culture traditions helped the author to create an artwork from everyday scenes of people's life. The specificity of her style is expressed in epithets that reveal the spiritual state of the heroes of the story. In her opinion, people even with a traditional family structure can be deeply religious and give their children a religious education based on love. The writer considers religion as a part of the overall spiritual integrity, which becomes the main concept of her creative method. The skill of the author is revealed in the professional interpretation of the precepts of Islam. Her ability to express complex experiences and feelings of the characters through the elements of nature makes a strong impression. She helps the reader to realize the psychological and philosophical role of religion, awakening in man the hope for the future, testing him for morality. The tension and drama of the events are solved in an original way, with an attempt to focus the reader's attention on one of the pillars of Islam - the prayer, through which the character of the Muslim woman is revealed. Thus, the analysis of the novel By F. Gataullina helps to understand that dua, which has firmly entered the life of Muslims, has incredible powers and takes an important place in the religious system of people's views.

Dialogues of Joy: Shared Moments of Joy Between Teachers and Children in Early Childhood Education Settings

The study focuses on teachers’ and children’s shared moments of joy in early childhood education settings and contributes new knowledge in educational research by exploring joy as a relational rather than an individual phenomenon. The theoretical and methodological framework draws on a narrative approach and Martin Buber’s dialogical philosophy. Data were gathered through video observations and diary notes in open ECE groups in Finland, with children from 2 to 6 years. The scenes of everyday life in ECE appeared to radiate an overall positive atmosphere. However, the relationship between shared joy and dialogue was multifaceted. On one hand, joyful moments between teachers and children provided opportunities for dialogical encounters. On the other hand, there were variations in how children could participate in joyful moments. The study challenges educators to reflect on the significance of joy in pedagogical practices. The study revealed that dialogical, joyful encounters do not occur due to purposeful planning. Instead, they require that teachers value the daily, bursting-forth moments as important spaces to create reciprocal, respectful relationships with children.

Development and analysis of a real-time system for automated detection of improvised explosive device indicators from ground vehicles

We propose a real-time change detection system to be used as a vehicle-mounted early-warning system for indicators of improvised explosive devices. Within the context of military route clearance, the system automatically detects suspicious changes in the environment with respect to a previous patrol. For this purpose, historical images of the live scene are retrieved from a database and registered to the live image through 2.5-D view synthesis, using the three-dimensional (3-D) scene geometry acquired from a stereo camera. Changes are then found using local-area statistics in the CIE-Lab color space. A set of spatiotemporal filters is used to reject irrelevant alarms, resulting in a limited set of confident changes to be presented to the operator through an interactive graphical user interface. Next to the algorithmic contributions, we elaborate on the real-time design, featuring graphical processing units for the most time-consuming processing tasks, a pipelined architecture to increase the system throughput, and we split the system into a live and offline processing chain. This way, real-time change detection at 3.5 fps is achieved on images of 1920 × 1440 pixels. Finally, an extensive system validation featuring realistic experiments shows promising detection capabilities and robustness to, e.g., lateral displacements of up to 6 m.

The images of the warrior saints in the Ukrainian icons with the life scenes of the late Middle Ages

Introduction. The images of Demetrius, Borys and Hlib, Archangel Michael, St. George constitute the largest number of monuments in the Ukrainian icon painting of the Late Middle Ages, which can be enlisted as a rank of holy warriors. Problem Statement. In icon painting of the Late Middle Ages the figures of warrior saints are presented with the added scenes of life and their activities. A detailed analysis of the iconographic, artistic and stylistic features of the icons of holy warriors in the context of the development of national culture will allow to analyze the images of the saints, to reveal the content of the works. Purpose of the article is to ostend of artistic-stylistic, compositional, iconographic, figurative-content content of works of icon painting of the second half of XIV – beginning of XVI century, in which the image of holy warriors are present with the life scenes and scenes of their deeds. Methods. In the article were uses general scientific methods: historical – in the reconstruction of the cultural situation of XIV – beginning of XVI century in the context of sacred art; systematic, with which it was possible to trace the dynamics of changes in the icon-painting canon of the holy warrior on the territory of Ukraine; comparative – in revealing stylistic tendencies in painting traditions on the basis of canonical plots of Orthodox icon painting; iconographic – in revealing the sign stability of images in the system of stylistic coordinates of the icon-canon, as well as stylistic changes that took place in the iconography of the studied period; art studies – to study the compositional-stylistic features of icon-painting monuments of this period. Results. On example of memorials of Ukrainian art with the depiction of warriors saints with the scenes of life revealed the images of holy warriors, analyzed compositional construction, iconography, artistic-stylistic features. Payed attention to the iconographic plot "Killing the dragon" presented in "expanded" and "laconic" variants, as a reflection of the scene of life and miracles of St. George. Conclusion images of life cycles of holy warriors in the art of the Late Middle Ages are a significant thematic group among the complex of Ukrainian icons. In the meanwhile, holy warriors portrayed frontal, full-length (iconographic type of foot soldier), with ascetic gaze, monumental interpretation of the image, expressive drawing. Since in the medium the artists depicted the soldiers in a severe static image, the figures of the saints in the stamps were more free and dynamic to reveal the narrative of the plot of their acts. Artistic-style features of icons depicting holy warriors late XIV-early XV centuries. continue the principles of painting Kievan Rus in combination with the traditions Paleologicheskogo icon-painting style. From the XV century in the icons there are elements of Gothic that manifested itself in the image of an elongated figure of soldiers, helmets, and weapons – a sword. Among the most common images of holy warriors is the figure of the Archangel Michael. In the mediator in the figure of a warrior, we see the embodiment of the image of the head over all angels, the military guard of the gates of paradise, the hero, who is the mediator between God and his people. Among the important attributes that appear in the art of the Late Middle Ages in the images of the Archangel is a symbolic stand, twisted in eight, symbolizing infinity and protecting from the dark forces of evil (Uroboros's image is a snake). In the figure of Demetrius of Thessalonica we see a popular Christian hero ready to defend his native land. In the images of the brothers Borys and Hlib, in the images of the living icon there are features of patriotism and asceticism. In the Ukrainian art of theXIV-XVІ centuries. The iconography of St. John became the most popular. George in the plot "Miracle of the Snake", which is known in two versions: "Expanded" and "Laconic". At the end of the fifteenth century. the iconic motif "Miracle of the Snake" is complemented by the scenes of the life of St. George On the icons of St. George is presented on a horse, piercing through a long thin spear the snake's mouth served in an amorphous form. The very image of the warrior is not endowed with features of courage and militancy, but rather interpreted as a manifestation of spiritual struggle between the monster and the saints. The composition reads the folk principle, which manifested itself in such attributes as keys, horns, profile of the Moon on the wings of the snake and associated with the holiday of spring.

A Fast Facial Landmarks Detection and Posture Classification Algorithm

In the field of face recognition research, the efficiency of facial landmarks detection and posture classification algorithm is a serious problem. This paper proposes a lightweight network based on convolutional neural network to quickly detect the facial landmarks of human faces. Based on this, the posture is predicted using the relative position of the obtained feature points. The model was tested by the face images captured in various scenes in real life. The accuracy and recall rate of the proposed algorithm were 96.3% and 98.2%, respectively. The test time for a single picture is 0.9ms. The proposed algorithm has less running time and its accuracy and recall rate are similar or even better than other models.

Visions of Glory by O’Connor and El Greco

ABSTRACTFlannery O’Connor in her seasoned fiction and El Greco in his painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz (1586-88) demonstrate a newly discovered shared aesthetic: both portray visions of glory as fast moving but scenes of life on earth as slow going, if not dead still. While El Greco asserts his individualistic style, embracing the Catholic Counter-Reformation, O’Connor inserts her signature uncanny mystical endings to highlight in stark relief the souls of Mr. Head in “The Artificial Nigger”, Mrs. May in “Greenleaf”, Mr. Fortune in “A View of the Woods”, Ruby in “Revelation”, and, in “Parker’s Back”, Parker.
