The Creation of Contemporary Batik Motif Retak Seribu as an Innovation of the Remekan Technique for Traditional Batik Motifs

Batik is one of the identities of Indonesian cultural products that is well known by the world community. Research on batik never runs out to be studied. The point of view of the study can be done from various disciplines. Although in terms of motifs, it has been researched many times, and it is possible to identify that the number of batik motifs in Indonesia can reach thousands of existing motifs, from traditional motifs to modern motifs. Kenneth F. Bates (in Riyanto, et al 1997: 15) reveals that what forms a physical motif are the spot elements (in the form of strokes, colors, textures) line (lines) and mass (mass / in the form of Figures) in a single unit. Then the motif is duplicated or given variations with repetition to form a pattern or field. In contrast to Adi Kusrianto (2013: 3) states that classical batik motifs have meaning for the Javanese. Classical batik ornaments must also be able to give birth to a harmonious sense of beauty between the composition of the color scheme and the arrangement of the ornaments. Greg Richards and Julie Wilson wrote that innovation is the introduction of new inventions or spreading the meaning of these new inventions into general use in society (Richards and Wilson, 2007: 6). This study aims to develop the technique and manufacture of retak seribu motifs originating from the remekan batik technique, the consideration being to simplify the manufacturing process and enrich the development of contemporary batik motifs in Indonesia. Thus, this research will use researchbased development with the following steps: 1) information collecting, 2) develop a preliminary form of product, 3) preliminary product testing, 4) main product revision, 5) main field testing, and 6) dissemination.

Genome-wide characterization, phylogenetic and expression analysis of Histone gene family in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Histones are essential components of chromatin and play an important role in regulating gene transcription and participating in DNA replication. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of this gene family. In this study, we identified 37 CsHistones that were classified into five groups (H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The closely linked subfamilies exhibited more similarity in terms of motifs and intron/exon numbers. Segmental duplication (SD) is the main driving force of cucumber CsHistones expansion. Analysis of cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region of CsHistones showed that CsHistones can respond to a variety of stresses. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that the expression of most CsHistones was associated with different stresses, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, wilt, heat, cold, salt stress, and waterlogging. Expression analysis showed that several genes of H3 group were highly expressed in different reproductive organs. Notably, CsCENH3 (CsHistone30) has the characteristics of a variant histone, and we demonstrated that CsCENH3 was localized on the nucleus and its proteins were expressed in centromere region. These findings provide valuable information for the identification and potential functions of Histone genes and ideas for the cultivation of CENH3-mediated haploid induction lines in cucumber.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) Gene Family in Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Rootstock under Drought Stress Suggested the Potential Role of these Chaperones in Stress Tolerance.

Heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are highly conserved proteins that are involved in stress responses. These chaperones play pivotal roles in protein folding, removing the extra amounts of oxidized proteins, preventing protein denaturation, and improving the antioxidant system activities. This conserved family has been characterized in several crops under drought stress conditions. However, there is no study on HSP70s in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata). Therefore, we performed a comprehensive analysis of this gene family, including phylogenetic relationship, motif and gene structure analysis, gene duplication, collinearity, and promoter analysis. In this research, we found 21 HSP70s that were classified into five groups (from A to E). These genes were mostly localized in the cytoplasm, chloroplast, mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We could observe more similarity in closely linked subfamilies in terms of motifs, the number of introns/exons, and the corresponding cellular compartments. According to the collinearity analysis, gene duplication had occurred as a result of purifying selection. The results showed that the occurrence of gene duplication for all nine gene pairs was due to segmental duplication (SD). Synteny analysis revealed a closer relationship between pumpkin and cucumber than pumpkin and Arabidopsis. Promoter analysis showed the presence of various cis-regulatory elements in the up-stream region of the HSP70 genes, such as hormones and stress-responsive elements, indicating a potential role of this gene family in stress tolerance. We furtherly performed the gene expression analysis of the HSP70s in pumpkin under progressive drought stress. Pumpkin is widely used as a rootstock to improve stress tolerance, as well as fruit quality of cucumber scion. Since stress-responsive mobile molecules translocate through vascular tissue from roots to the whole plant body, we used the xylem of grafted materials to study the expression patterns of the HSP70 (potentially mobile) gene family. The results indicated that all CmoHSP70s had very low expression levels at 4 days after stress (DAS). However, the genes showed different expression patterns by progressing he drought period. For example, the expression of CmoHSP70-4 (in subgroup E) and CmoHSP70-14 (in subgroup C) sharply increased at 6 and 11 DAS, respectively. However, the expression of all genes belonging to subgroup A did not change significantly in response to drought stress. These findings indicated the diverse roles of this gene family under drought stress and provided valuable information for further investigation on the function of this gene family, especially under stressful conditions.

A nonparametric algorithm for estimating mutual information between digital signals

Recently it has been mathematically proved that any digital signal can be expressed as a string 13 3-point motifs and information in the signal is encoded in terms of those motifs. This result has several important applications in statistical signal processing, such as entropy estimation, transfer entropy, data mining, etc. In the current work we have shown an application in estimation of mutual information (MI) across any number of signals. MI is an important measure of interdependence among the signals with wide applications. However, estimating the MI between two signals as random variables, whose probability distributions are not known, is quite challenging. Here we propose a nonparametric, real time method to estimate MI between two signals and then generalize it to any number of signals. This has been done in terms of motifs. On simulated data, in which MI can be controlled, it performed at par with k nearest neighbor (kNN) based method and the permutation motif based method, but much faster and memory efficient. On real data with added noise and varying signal to noise ratio (SNR) the proposed method worked at par with the other two methods. A novel hypothesis testing method has also been introduced for comparing performances.

Ragam Estetika Batik Riau terhadap Nilai dan Tradisi Budaya Melayu

Batik has been identified as the identity of the Javanese people. Not many people know about Riau-Malay batik, which had a dim existence with the loss of the Daek Lingga and Siak Kingdoms in 1824-1911 AD. Malay batik and Malay traditions have a very strong relationship, where all aspects of culture and art adopt values. the culture contained in the society. The Malay race is a group of people who embraces Islam, this affects all aspects of life to the work of art. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various aesthetics both in terms of motifs and patterns of present-day Riau Malay batik with the values adopted in society. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation and library research. The result of this research is the regeneration of the aesthetic variety of present-day Riau Malay batik motifs which adopt 2 types of patterns, namely the veil pattern and the sow pattern. The veil pattern is a vertical, elongated and transcendental meaning. Meanwhile, the sowing pattern is not clear in its philosophy, with the visualization of stacked and dense motifs.

BP-GAN: Interpretable Human Branchpoint Prediction Using Attentive Generative Adversarial Networks

Branchpoints (BPs) are essential sequence elements of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) in splicing, which is the process of creating a messenger RNA (mRNA) that is translated into proteins. This study proposes to develop deep neural networks for BP prediction. Extensive previous studies have shown that the existence of BP sites depends on sequence patterns called motifs; hence, the prediction model must accurately explain its decisions in terms of motifs. Existing approaches utilized either handcrafted features for interpretable, though less accurate, predictions or deep neural networks that were accurate but difficult to explain. To address the aforementioned difficulties, the proposed method incorporates 1) generative adversarial networks (GANs) to learn the latent structure of RNA sequences, and 2) an attention mechanism to learn sequence-positional long-term dependency for accurate prediction and interpretation. Our method achieves highly satisfying results in various performance metrics with adequate interpretability. We demonstrated that, without any prior biological knowledge, BP prediction by the proposed method is closely related to three motifs, the consensus sequence surrounding BPs, polypyrimidine tract, and 3' splice site, that are well-established in molecular biology.

Optimized cloud-based scheduling for protein secondary structure analysis

In the domain of proteomics, an in-depth analysis of the 3D structure of a protein is of paramount importance for many biological studies and applications. At the secondary level, protein structure can be described in terms of motifs, recurrent patterns of smaller biological structures called secondary structure elements. In this paper, the focus is on the identification of geometrical motifs in different proteins using the Cross Motif Search (CMS) algorithm. Such task, due to the high computational cost of CMS with respect to traditional alignment algorithms, is very demanding, and thus, parallel processing is mandatory. In previous papers, CMS parallelization has been already studied from the HPC standpoint. Since cloud computing is emerging as an alternative to on-premise HPC systems, it is worthwhile examining the feasibility and possible advantages in terms of both performance and costs, of migrating to a cloud implementation. This paper is an extension of a preliminary work carried out on the cloud parallelization of CMS. The paper has two main contributions. First of all, an analytic model of the communication pattern of CMS is described, in order to get insights on the performance of the application when executed on a cloud infrastructure. Secondly, an optimized “location-aware” scheduling policy to assign workload to the application workers is introduced, in order to minimize internode communication in a cloud setting. Experiments are presented in order to validate the newly introduced scheduling policy and assess the performance of the cloud implementation of CMS. The results presented in this paper are general, in the sense that they can be applied to any other algorithm with a communication pattern similar to the one of the target applications.

Hide-and-Seek Syntax: The Grammar of Poetic Language in Ann Jäderlund’s Poetry
 In the initial stage of the so-called ”Jäderlund debate” of the late 1980s, literary critic Tommy Olofsson essentially characterized Ann Jäderlund’s poetry as meaningless. In response, Åsa Beckman claimed that Olofsson’s inability to understand Jäderlund’s poetry was due to his utter lack of insight into female experience. This difference of opinion proves the necessity of distinguishing between the poem as part of a literary convention and the poem as part of a sociocultural ontology: how a poem makes meaning is different from an interpretation of what it means. The purpose of this article is to analyze syntax and grammar in Jäderlund’s poetry. Jäderlund has been referred to as a ”difficult” poet; in part, due to her unconventional, and often ungram matical, use of language. Examined in terms of motifs and plot, the poems exhibit special syntactical categories with regard to the function and position of words within individual verse lines. The aim of this article is to show the central active constituents in an interpretation of poetic language. The objects of analysis are two poems from Jäderlund’s sixth collection, Kalender röd Levande av is (Calender Red Alive with Ice, 2000). This work was chosen in order to expand upon two previous analyses of this material: Staffan Bergsten’s, ”Ann Jäderlund’s Tranformation Poetics”, and Mikael van Reis’s, ”Ann Jäderlund’s Syntax”. The main analysis is preceded by a short discussion of key elements in Bergsten’s and van Reis’s texts, and a theoretical discussion of the principles of poetic language. The conclusion of the article connects my analysis to feminist research in order to show how the inner structure of the poem creates meaning within an ideological environment, and to show that social conflicts are activated in the aesthetic structure of the poems.

Triadic Motifs in the Partitioned World Trade Web

One of the crucial aspects of the Internet of Things that influences the effectiveness of communication among devices is the communication model, for which no universal solution exists. The actual interaction pattern can in general be represented as a directed graph, whose nodes represent the “Things” and whose directed edges represent the sent messages. Frequent patterns can identify channels or infrastructures to be strengthened and can help in choosing the most suitable message routing schema or network protocol. In general, frequent patterns have been called motifs and overrepresented motifs have been recognized to be the low-level building blocks of networks and to be useful to explain many of their properties, playing a relevant role in determining their dynamic and evolution. In this paper triadic motifs are found first partitioning a network by strength of connections and then analyzing the partitions separately. The case study is the World Trade Web (WTW), that is the directed graph connecting world Countries with trade relationships, with the aim of finding its topological characterization in terms of motifs and isolating the key factors underlying its evolution. The WTW has been split based on the weights of the graph to highlight structural differences between the big players in terms of volumes of trade and the rest of the world. As test case, the period 2003-2010 has been analyzed, to show the structural effect of the economical crisis in the year 2007.

A comparative review of the development of Serbian and Albanian folk epic poetry

The paper discusses the continuity of Serbian folk epic poetry since the Early Middle Ages in relation to the discontinuity of Albanian folk epic poetry, in both cases determined by the historical and cultural setting. The research foregrounds the songs of Kosovo Albanians about the Battle of Kosovo, and a cycle of songs about borderland warriors (krajisniks) as well. In terms of motifs and ideological orientation, the former remained on the crossroads between the Serbian-Christian and Moslem-Turkish conceptions, whereas the latter conformed to the Moslem conception. The greatest similarities to the Serbian ?non-historical? epic poetry were demonstrated by the so-called Italo-Albanian songs, brought from Albania to Italy by the Albanian refugees fleeing the Turks. The paper is also an attempt at using scholarly arguments to refute the non-scholarly interpretations of epic techniques, characters and motifs, constructed for the purposes of political pretensions to the territory of the Serbian province as an exclusively Albanian land.

Regeneration and resurrection in Matthew – Peasants <i>in campo</i> hearing time signals from scribes

The article aimed to describe the distinctive element in the use of the motif of the resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew in comparison with Mark, Luke and the Sayings Gospel Q. It argued that the distinctive element occurs where parallel texts in Luke 22:24–30, Matthew 19:27–29 and Mark 10:28–31 converge. The distinctive element pertains particularly to the meaning of the Greek expression ‘en tē palingenesia’ in Matthew 19:28. By elaborating on time as a social construct, the article showed how Matthew deals with the conception of time differently than both Mark and Luke. It illustrated that the Gospel of Matthew represents a storyline consisting of a circular movement between ‘genesis’ (Mt 1:1) and ‘palingenesia’ (Mt 19:28), where the word ‘palingenesia’ denotes the meaning ‘regeneration’ rather than ‘resurrection’. Matthew does not narrate an abrupt transition from linear time to clock time. Both co-existed in a world where illiterate peasants and literate scribes scheduled their lives in terms of motifs pertaining to a linear and a punctual conception of time.

Level density of spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type

We provide a rigorous proof of the fact that the level density of all known su(m) spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type associated with the A(N-1) root system approaches a Gaussian distribution as the number of spins N tends to infinity. Our approach is based on the study of the large-N limit of the characteristic function of the level density, using the description of the spectrum in terms of motifs and the asymptotic behavior of the transfer matrix.

Similarity of Protein-RNA Interfaces Based on Motif Analysis

We have developed a method for determination of the similarity of pairs of protein-RNA complexes, which we refer to as SIMA (Similarity by Identity and Motif Alignment). The key element in the SIMA method is the description of the protein-RNA interface in terms of motifs (salt bridges, aromatic stacking interactions, nonaromatic stacks, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen-bonded motifs), in addition to single hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts. Based on a pairwise scoring function combining motif alignment with identity of the protein and RNA sequences, we define a SIMA score for any pair of protein-RNA complexes. A positive score indicates similarity between the complexes. We used the SIMA method to identify 284 nonredundant binary protein-RNA complexes out of 776 such complexes in 382 nonribosomal protein-RNA structure files obtained from the RCSB database. SIMA allows rapid and quantitative comparison of protein-RNA interfaces and may be useful for interface classification with potential functional and evolutionary implications.

Perverse Joy in the Book of Revelation—A Perspective on Religious Experience

AbstractThis article discusses the motif of joy in the Book of Revelation as an intensely hostile and perverse response to the proclamation of the gospel. In the first section the careful and telling use of joy within its context in Revelation 11 as narrative about the ministry of the two witnesses is outlined. Attention is then given to joy as an emotional rejection of the gospel, before the intensity of joy as an emotion is described in terms of motifs of anger, arrogant selfishness and the exchanging of gifts. The nature of these motifs in terms of religious experience is also developed. In a final section the rhetorical impact of the portrayal joy is spelled out in order to illuminate religious experience.
