Abstract:

AbstractVocal alarm signals of male domestic fowl given in the presence of predators and other ground and aerial objects were recorded and analyzed. Studies were conducted under semi-naturalistic conditions and a telemetric technique was used to facilitate high quality sound recording. Cockerels gave ground alarm calls specifically to objects moving on the substrate and aerial alarm calls to objects moving above in free space. Vocalizations were associated with both dangerous and harmless objects. We therefore investigated variation in sound structure of aerial alarm calls with reference to flying predators and non-predators. A multidimensional contingency table analysis revealed a significant tendency for qualitatively different aerial alarm calls to be associated with flying predators and non-predators. Differences in call structure were restricted to the two first units of the alarm call. We tested the hypotheses that variation in aerial alarm call structure might be affected by either the distance separating the bird from the object or the angular size of the object projected onto the retina of the cockerel. Statistical analysis showed that the angular size was a good predictor of variation of the second unit of alarm call. The distance it self was less predictive. The first unit of the alarm call was not affected by either the distance or the angular size of the object. We propose that this part of the call has a more general function of alerting the conspecific companions. We conclude that alarm vocalizations of male domestic fowl refer specifically to a certain type of stimulus object, either moving on the ground or flying. For alarm calls correlated with aerial stimuli the specific angular size of a stimulus object moving in the air is a good predictor of call structure. We suggest that this way of dealing with flying objects as stimuli for alarm calls is the result of a predator detection strategy in which the benefits of an expanded field of vision, an important adaptation for ground-dwelling birds, exceed the costs of alarming to harmless birds and other aerial objects.

Abstract:

This article describes the value of an animal estimation. The animal is an object of civil law relations. The objects of civil law relations are usually things (objects of the material world in their natural state or objects created by human activity). The justification for assigning live animals to the category «object of civil rights» is related to the fact that they are objects of evaluation in material form – movable property, consumer goods. Therefore, the assessment turns the animal into a special object of civil rights, which is subject to the legal regime of the thing. Animal objects in Ukraine may be in state, communal and private ownership, under the protection of the state, regardless of their ownership rights. (Law of Ukraine «About the Animal World»). The valuation of the animal is carried out by authorized persons – forensic experts, forensic institutions and certified experts. The assessment is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine; Code of Administrative Offences; Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine; Customs Code of Ukraine; Laws of Ukraine «On Court Legal Expertise», «On Execution Production» and other legal acts on forensic activities, in particular, «Instructions on the Appointment and Conduct of Forensics and Expert Studies». The problem is that such a study requires a complete list of the original data on the subject, a set of indicators, morphological, physiological (external, internal) and economic features and properties forming and characterizing the animal, as one. Each indicator and feature affects their cost. In this overview study, we will focus on the factors that play an integral role in the product examination of domestic animals. Consider in detail the main concepts that need to be analysed and study the impact of these indicators when conducting a study using methodological approaches in accordance with National Standard 1. In day-to-day life, when holding a pet, one does not pay attention to the little things that are crucial to the evaluation, and sometimes the lack of information of the object of the study makes it impossible to resolve the issue with the forensic expert. So, we have been able to identify a number of indicators to be addressed.

Abstract:

This article proposes a semantic grid mapping method for domestic robot navigation. Occupancy grid maps are sufficient for mobile robots to complete point-to-point navigation tasks in 2-D small-scale environments. However, when used in the real domestic scene, grid maps are lack of semantic information for end users to specify navigation tasks conveniently. Semantic grid maps, enhancing the occupancy grid map with the semantics of objects and rooms, endowing the robots with the capacity of robust navigation skills and human-friendly operation modes, are thus proposed to overcome this limitation. In our method, an object semantic grid map is built with low-cost sonar and binocular stereovision sensors by correctly fusing the occupancy grid map and object point clouds. Topological spaces of each object are defined to make robots autonomously select navigation destinations. Based on the domestic common sense of the relationship between rooms and objects, topological segmentation is used to get room semantics. Our method is evaluated in a real homelike environment, and the results show that the generated map is at a satisfactory precision and feasible for a domestic mobile robot to complete navigation tasks commanded in natural language with a high success rate.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper, I will discuss the need for a theory of essences within Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and then formulate one. I will do so by drawing on Graham Harman’s work on OOO and Martin Heidegger’s thought on the essence of being, presented in his Introduction to Metaphysics. Harman touches on essences, describing them as the tension between a withdrawn object and its withdrawn qualities, but fails to distinguish between essential and inessential qualities within this framework. To fill in the gaps, I will turn to Heidegger’s explication of phusis in order to show that an essential aspect of being is how one enters into causal relations and continually reveals oneself to other beings. In bringing OOO and Heidegger together, I will find that each object has a unique way of exerting itself in the world and that the domestic relations that make up this unique profile are essential to it, while other domestic relations, those that do not influence its particular way of exerting itself, are inessential. Thus, the essence will be found to be the set of domestic relations that make up the determinate form, or unique causal profile, of the object.

Abstract:

Abstract Young precocial birds develop a preference for an imprinting object by mere visual exposure to it in the absence of conventional physiological reinforcement. The lack of the necessity of conventional reinforcement for imprinting, however, does not mean that such reinforcement is unimportant. The evidence presented here shows that an imprinting object rapidly acquires high attractiveness to young chicks when it is associated with food provisioning. Domestic chicks, Gallus gallus domesticus, were first exposed to two different imprinting objects in the absence of any reinforcement. Subsequently, two groups of chicks received a single feeding session wherein they were provided with prey from one of the imprinting objects. A third group served as a control in which the chicks were exposed to one of the imprinting objects and prey delivery in an unpaired way. Finally, all chicks received two choice tests to assess their preferences for the two imprinting objects. The chicks that received food from an imprinting object strongly preferred that object to the alternative familiar-only object, and preferred the familiar-only object to a novel object. The control group did not show any preference between the two imprinting objects, but preferred the unpaired imprinting object to a novel object. These results suggest that primary-need reinforcers such as food contribute to increasing the attractiveness of an imprinting object by promoting rapid associative learning.

Abstract:

Abstract. Object permanence is the notion that objects continue to exist even when they are out of observer´s sight. This ability is adaptive not only for free ranging animals who have to cope with a dangerous and highly changeable environment, allowing them to be aware of predators sneaking in their proximity or to keep track of conspecifics or food sources, even when out of sight. Farm animals, too, might profit from object permanence as the ability to follow the trajectory of hidden food or objects may lead to a higher predictability of subjects' environment, which in turn might affect the level of stress under husbandry conditions. We conducted two experiments to examine the ability of object permanence in young domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). For this purpose we used a test setup that was formerly developed for primates and adopted it to the behavioural constraints of pigs. A rewarded object was hidden in one of three hiding locations with an increasing complexity of the objects movement through successive test sessions. Subjects were confronted with visible and invisible displacement tasks as well as with transpositions of hidden objects in different contextual settings. Pigs solved visible, but not invisible displacements or transpositions, indicating that they have difficulties to keep track of once hidden and then moved objects. This should be taken into account when designing husbandry environments or study designs.

Abstract:

Dogs and cats use human emotional information directed to an unfamiliar situation to guide their behavior, known as social referencing. It is not clear whether other domestic species show similar socio-cognitive abilities in interacting with humans. We investigated whether horses (n = 46) use human emotional information to adjust their behavior to a novel object and whether the behavior of horses differed depending on breed type. Horses were randomly assigned to one of two groups: an experimenter positioned in the middle of a test arena directed gaze and voice towards the novel object with either (a) a positive or (b) a negative emotional expression. The duration of subjects’ position to the experimenter and the object in the arena, frequency of gazing behavior, and physical interactions (with either object or experimenter) were analyzed. Horses in the positive condition spent more time between the experimenter and object compared to horses in the negative condition, indicating less avoidance behavior towards the object. Horses in the negative condition gazed more often towards the object than horses in the positive condition, indicating increased vigilance behavior. Breed types differed in their behavior: thoroughbreds showed less human-directed behavior than warmbloods and ponies. Our results provide evidence that horses use emotional cues from humans to guide their behavior towards novel objects.

Abstract:

We present a survey of recent work on robot manipulation and sensing of deformable objects, a field with relevant applications in diverse industries such as medicine (e.g. surgical assistance), food handling, manufacturing, and domestic chores (e.g. folding clothes). We classify the reviewed approaches into four categories based on the type of object they manipulate. Furthermore, within this object classification, we divide the approaches based on the particular task they perform on the deformable object. Finally, we conclude this survey with a discussion of the current state-of-the-art approaches and propose future directions within the proposed classification.

Abstract:

This article examines how objects embedded in the domestic life of the generation of the Lebanese civil war and the subsequent generations evoke stories that disrupt the state�s hegemonic production of history. The article explores stories surrounding two objects that survived the war, and took on residues of memory later heard and retold by the subsequent generation. These objects illuminate ways in which the legacy of intergenerational memory is produced and transmitted�and how these alternative spaces and stories emerge in present struggles, including the October 2019 revolution. In the first section, the article examines how material objects operate as intergenerational symbols of the experiences of war and as media for the process of narrativisation. In the second section, the argument explores the role of the material as a witness to what resists language and as a locus to memory�s temporality. In the third section, the article looks into the affective dimension of the material object as it provokes an opening to narration and challenges linear understandings of history. This search through material and domestic objects seeks stories that resist closure, and is essential to understanding today�s struggle against the Lebanese political class.

Abstract:

Discourses on storage and clutter have become central issues in contemporary domestic space. The anxiety caused by accumulation and disorder are directly related to the progressive entry of goods into homes. Now, what happens in the case of some elderly homeowners whose lifestyles have changed little over the past decades and have a much different relationship to current consumer culture and domestic accumulation? Based on an auto-ethnographic approach, this visual essay looks at the home the author’s grandparents have built throughout their life. It argues that, although the house is full of objects that have been accumulating over the decades, these objects can hardly be catalogued as stuff. Material and symbolic stability are favoured by the reduced traffic of objects entering and leaving the house and the importance of care and maintenance practices but, overall, by the ability of the house to provide a specific and differentiated place for each object.

Examples of foreign and domestic experience of renovation the industrial objects are considered. It is shown that in the European Union countries for the last 30 years, according to statistic research, the new construction and renovation index has increased. For the European practice, the expantion of renovation process from typical neutral objects to monuments of industrial architecture is a common thing. It has been noted that domestic practice is usually characterized by the composition of trading and office rooms in the environment of adaptation the typical neutral objects of industrial estate. Analysis of the examples showed that the renovation utilizes structural and planning, as well as aesthetic potential of the industrial buildings. Analysis results allow identifycation the options and directions for converting the inoperable industrial objects into civil buildings. This experience might be utilized for development the rational architecture-planning and structural solutions for reconstruction.

Abstract:

Questions concerning the role of nature and nurture in higher cognition appear to be intractable if one restricts one's attention to development in humans. However, in other domains, such as sensory development, much information has been gained from controlled rearing studies with animals. Here, we used a similar experimental strategy to investigate intuitive reasoning about occluded objects. Newborn domestic chicks ( Gallus gallus ) were reared singly with a small object that became their social partner. They were then accustomed to rejoin such an imprinting object when it was made to move and disappear behind either one of two identical opaque screens. After disappearance of the imprinting object, chicks were faced with two screens of different slants, or of different height or different width, which may or may not have been compatible with the presence of the imprinting object hidden beneath/behind them. Chicks consistently chose the screen of slant/height/width compatible with the presence of the object beneath/behind it. Preventing chicks from touching and pecking at the imprinting object before testing did not affect the results, suggesting that intuitive reasoning about physical objects is largely independent of specific experience of interaction with objects and of objects' occluding events.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1963 and 1964, Japanese artist Akasegawa Genpei was working on two related series of objects he called “model” 1,000 Yen-notes and “model” wrapped objects. As he established in his 1964 “Thesis of ‘Capitalist Realism,'” he made these “models” as a method of exposing the contingent legitimacy that mass-produced currency and commodities had as “real things.” This article focuses its analysis on Akasegawa's wrapped furniture installation for Room in Alibi (1963) as a complex demonstration of the ways in which the model could “frame” capitalism's emerging consumer lifestyle object systems. As such, his models can be seen as part of a larger discursive engagement with questions about domestic reality emerging at the conjunction of Neo-Dada, Pop, Nouveau Réalisme, happenings, and Fluxus in 1963–64. They ran parallel to other experimental models, scores, games, instructions, and demonstrations, which often, and surprisingly consistently, also used domestic furniture and objects (such as Gerhard Richter and Konrad Lueg's use of model living room sets in Living with Pop—A Demonstration for Capitalist Realism).

Abstract:

This article examines people’s responses to the material objects they inherit or discover in their homes. Reflecting on interviews with inhabitants of a variety of English domestic interiors, the author explores the meanings, values and beliefs involved in choices to retrieve, retain, reposition or replace material residues from the home’s recent or distant past. Participants’ responses reveal how beliefs about the past and its objects become imbricated in homemaking practices, locating home as shared, both spatially and temporally, and enhancing or challenging senses of belonging. In particular, objects left by previous inhabitants are endowed with degrees of agency as part of the identity of home. Responses reflect a belief in the continuing presence of the past. Many objects require a form of negotiation – including rituals of appeasement or containment – expressing an entangled relationship between the heimlich and unheimlich in everyday homemaking practices.

Abstract:

One of the most important and discussed topics of Russian civilization is the issue of objects of civil law. The topic under study is not adequately reflected in domestic civil law and judicial arbitration practice. According to legal scholars, the ongoing changes in domestic civil legislation have not eliminated problems that relate to objects of civil law. The constant complication of civil law turnover and the development of domestic science of civil law are forced to carry out targeted work in this direction. The domestic legislator initiates the necessary new norms of civil law. As a result, this entails, among other things, the emergence of new objects of civil law. The expediency of expanding the list of objects of civil law requires a rethinking of existing legal concepts and work on serious theoretical and practical justification of new ones. In legal science and practice, the need to include the legal concept of "single immovable complex" in the current civil legislation of the Russian Federation is proved Legal scholars have formed various opinions that characterize it. Domestic civilizations have identified and analyzed the theoretical and practical shortcomings of a single immovable complex. A comparative legal study of a single real estate complex, an enterprise as a property complex, a complex thing was carried out and it is confirmed that they are not identical. Obviously, a single immovable complex is a necessary and relevant legal concept of domestic scientific thought. In order to create a single real estate complex, some conditions are needed. The rights holder of movable and immovable property by his will decides to create it. The permitting authorities, through State registration, decide to establish. Disadvantages of a single immovable complex, both theoretical and practical, are indicated. Similarities and differences in the design of the enterprise as a property complex, a complex thing, and a single real estate complex made it possible to identify the features of the legal status of the latter and distinguish it as an independent object of civil rights. Despite the fact that in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation there are such legal concepts as "enterprise as a property complex" and "complex thing," the inclusion of a single real estate complex in the current civil legislation is necessary. The legal significance of this concept is unconditional. It justifies its own point of view on the problem and the place of a single immovable complex in the system of objects of civil law. Recognizing the need for the concept of "single immovable complex" in the current civil legislation of the Russian Federation, the domestic legislator should focus on its significant theoretical and practical shortcomings that impede the effective enforcement of the provisions of Art. 1331 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Domestic legislators need to give them an appropriate legal assessment, as well as suggest effective ways to solve them.

Abstract:

Differential object marking / dom is the term for the phenomenon of distinguishing two classes of direct objects, one bearing a special marker, while the other lacking it. In modern linguistics, the marker licensing is partially or fully attributed to the features of a direct object: Animacy/Inanimacy and referential status. Russian didactic literature generally contains a reduced explanatory model of Spanish dom, based on the grammar of the Royal Spanish Academy. For Catalan, the explanatory model is complicated by the usus/norm split, the latter reducing the phenomenon’s scope. The paper focuses on the improvement of dom explanatory models for Spanish and Catalan.

Abstract:

This paper considers fragments of elite objects of the 10th–12th century from kurgans on the Oyat River. It is silk textiles, embroidered collars, and gold-woven threads. The authors arrived at the conclusion about the high price of these objects and the hypothetical place of their manufacture. Possibly, there were centres to which silk cloths and silk threads were imported and where women, to the extent of their skill, embroidered some details of clothes, then distrib- uted throughout a considerable territory. The rather inconsiderable qualitative level of the embroidering does not allow us to attribute the collars from the Ladoga kurgans to products of the grand-ducal workshops but the expensive materials (silk and gold-woven threads) could not have been objects of simple domestic needlework.

Abstract:

Under treaty law all civilian objects are protected in international armed conflicts (IAC) whereas it is only certain civilian objects that enjoy protection under treaty law in non-international armed conflicts (NIAC). However, it is commonly argued that all civilian objects are protected in NIAC under customary law. This article examines the reasons for the differences in the protection of civilian objects under treaty law and the argument that customary law now provides equal protection for all civilian objects under both IAC and NIAC. The article argues that this equal protection may hinder the ability of states to maintain law and order under their domestic law in NIAC in situations where they may need to destroy property which belongs to armed opposition groups. The article advances the argument that the law regarding targeting should be that all civilian objects are protected in NIAC but, unlike the protection of civilian objects in IAC, this protection does not bar a state from destroying in its territory objects which were considered to be illegal under domestic law before the commencement of the NIAC, in accordance with international human rights law as lex specialis.

The scene is initially focused on the gradual replacement of participants-people on systems with artificial intelligence. The models are unified and can be refined to the level of program code. On the basis of models the proactive algorithm of monitoring providing fixing of dangerous situations at an initial stage of their emergence and operational synthesis of the corresponding managing decisions is constructed. The algorithm uses a knowledge base containing formalized expert knowledge about the features of the observed objects and resources of the regional administration to combat catastrophic phenomena.To automate the solution, a hardware and software system using domestic intelligent sensors has been developed. Programs are written in the console version, require a minimum of computing resources. The peculiarity of the system is to minimize the time of decision-making and reducing their subjectivity by reducing the role of the human factor.The complex is intended for use in areas where possible floods of water bodies with disastrous consequences.

Abstract:

This paper demonstrates the processes of spatial production achieved through the setup of a home shrine by newly arrived Hindu immigrant women inside American houses, particularly the kitchens. By focusing on the home shrine, the paper uses a gendered lens through which to understand vernacular architecture, since women often garner greater control over domestic objects and interiors than they do over construction of buildings. I propose that production of sacred space, achieved through domestic objects like home shrines, is a fluid process. Its location in the house can be more easily changed from one place to another. Compared to the permanent construction of buildings, this compliancy of form may appear less concrete for providing objective architectural analysis. However, I suggest that it is the opposite. The flexibility involved in women’s production process makes room for greater spatial negotiation and demonstrates the diversity of ways concrete domestic architecture is maneuvered to satisfy women’s religious needs over time. Further, the paper demonstrates the wide array of complex decisions that women have to make regarding body movements in the house and worship practices, achieved through material intervention, that speak of domestic architecture in less static and more dynamic ways. By tracing women’s experiences with domestic architecture as new arrivals in the country, and later, as permanent residents, the paper foregrounds women’s strong architectural contributions through the use of domestic objects that enable a gendered and consequently a more inclusive approach to the study of architectural space.

Abstract:

During the winter of 1922-1923 when she was just beginning her diplomatic career, Bolshevik activist Aleksandra Kollontai wrote two novels and several short stories that were immediately published in Russia and subsequently combined into two volumes under the titles Liubov’ pchel trudovykh and Zhenshchina na perelome. They were dismissed as mere autobiographical romances, indulging in unhealthy introspection and dangerously divorced from the “real” demands of society. At a time when Soviet Russia was facing enormous challenges connected with the reconstruction after the civil war and with the partial return to a market economy under the New Economic Policy (NEP), Kollontai's focus on domestic relationships and the status of women seemed narrow and excessively private.

Abstract:

The aim of the article is research of the infrastructure of tourists accommodation objects in Ukraine and identify the possibility of their Improvement. The lack of a clear interpretation of the basi c industry terminology fixed in the normative-legal documentation and determination of the belonging of accommodation objects to a certain classification group is revealed. This conditioned to the fact that the domestic regulatory framework provides for the possibility of awarding a category only one of their type – hotels. The revealed fact determines the narrow specialization of domestic accommodation objects (the provision of hotel services), reduces their inter-branch relationships and is one of the reasons for a steady increase in the number of hotels only with a decrease in the total number of objects of the industry. It is determined necessary to bring the regulatory and legal regulation of the provision of accommodation services, consolidating the application of clear unanimous terminology.

Abstract:

Not long ago, during excavation in the domestic area of the Urartian fortress of Ayanis, a cylindrical object made of gold was discovered. Objects of this kind were completely unknown in Urartu before this discovery and it is not possible to compare it with any other items in the Ancient Near East. However, a possible parallel can be found with some golden objects discovered in central Italy in the work of Etruscan metallurgists. These items from Iron Age Italy are made of precious metals, especially gold, and have been interpreted as clasps; they are generally considered to have been used mainly to secure the men’s cloaks on the shoulder. This type of object is generally dated to the 8th-7th century B.C. and comes mainly from a series of archaeological contexts in central Italy.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Protected Objects Amendment Act (POA) was passed by the New Zealand Parliament in 2006, so New Zealand could fulfil its obligations under the UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property 1970 and the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects 1995. This represents a significant delay after the drafting of these two conventions. This article explores why New Zealand has taken so long to give domestic effect to these conventions and examines the manner in which they have been given domestic legal effect in the POA. The article also focuses on issues of Māori cultural property, the practical implementation of the POA, and the cultural heritage climate in New Zealand.

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore objects in the street of urban kampong, in order to understand the social system and the spatial mechanism of the objects. Existence of objects and their formation are physical trails of social activities. The role of object in social engagement can affect the street space and the behaviour of its users. In urban kampong street, objects engaging in social activities mainly in spatial negotiation. The case study was taken in Ampiun Alley of Kampong Cikini, one of the most dense settlement in Central Jakarta. It was studied through observations, documentations, mapping, and interviews. In Ampiun Alley, various objects from transportation to domestic tools exist on the alley, while many passer-bys going through it. They were able to be tolerated because it did not give disadvantages to the street community, did not being an obstacle in circulation, and did not give a slum-like image. We have discovered there are many different negotiation spaces produced following surrounding social condition and space needs. However, in general formation of objects was shaped through toleration and consensus activities, so it could avoid any possible conflict and maintain the main function of the alley itself.

This article compares domestic subsistence, craft production, and ritual at several excavated apartment compounds in Teotihuacan, Mexico. A new methodological approach for studying activity areas was tested in a multifamily compound at Oztoyahualco 15B:N6W3 with the purpose of obtaining information on specific activities attributable to particular households. This approach combines the identification and mapping of chemical compounds in stucco floors with pollen, phytolith, botanical, and faunal analyses. Together with the distribution of particular types of artifacts, ritual objects, and debris, these data permit an evaluation of the corporate character of certain activities.

Abstract:

Carnivores use various scent-marking methods. Semi-feral domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) were observed to use the same means as their wild counterparts. Adult males performed most urine spray marking. Cats scratched tree bark, producing a visual mark, and probably used trees both as markers and for claw sharpening. Most scratching trees were located along frequently used paths rather than along territorial boundaries or scattered randomly throughout a home range. Bark consistency affected the tree species that were scratched, with soft bark preferred. Although deposition of faeces and urine was recorded, there was no clear evidence for their use as territorial markers; cats primarily eliminated away from the core area of the home range. Most faeces were buried, although exposed deposits were also observed. Cats also rubbed against objects, probably using glandular secretions from the face and tail areas to scent mark. Males rubbed objects more than females, and males scent marked more. Individual males may use different means of scent marking. Scent marking in this study supports the idea that cats do not defend territories, instead patrolling and reinforcing marks throughout a looser home range. The suggestion has been made that different forms of marking may serve separate signalling functions.

A.D., provides an exceptional opportunity to study a wide range of objects from daily life within a secure archaeological context. The recovery of detailed information about the layout of buildings and the contextual origin of the many domestic objects recovered permit a full reconstruction of life in the household, especially the use of space. Generally, the upstairs area served as the primary living quarters, whereas the ground floor was used to house valuable domestic animals and for light workshop activities.

Abstract:

This study aims to determine the relevance of Islamic and customary law in Bali with acts of domestic violence, which are related to Law No. 23/2004. This research is a qualitative study with a normative juridical approach, through literature studies and exploration methods from secondary data. The objects examined in this study are Balinese Customary Law, Islamic Law, and Law No. 23/2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence. The case object in this study originated from several cases of domestic violence in Bali. The results of the study showed that domestic violence increased every year, where the majority of victims were women. Several factors cause cases to occur, where the Balinese tradition with the patrilineal system is an important factor that creates a gap between men and women. Referring to Islamic and customary law in Bali does not explicitly explain the rules and sanctions related to internal violence. However, this local regulation still does not justify the existence of acts of violence in the household by applicable law.

Abstract:

AbstractThe health and well-being of pets became a significant matter of medical and scientific concern during the first decades of the twentieth century. Addressing the case of dogs, this article contends that this circumstance was not primarily a consequence of developments internal to veterinary practice but rather emerged from the broader-based domestic-science movement. The elaboration of scientifically oriented approaches to dog care signals the incorporation of pets within a maternal ideal that emphasized care and efficiency as domestic virtues. Via consideration of canine milk foods, women-led canine medical institutions, canine-concerned domestic workers, and rationalist approaches to kennel design, the article demonstrates that dogs should be placed alongside such established objects of domestic scientific reform as children, homes, and human bodies. Moreover, it shows that scientific reconceptualizations of dogs relied on an extensive network of (primarily women) laborers that included food producers, nursing staff, kennel attendants, and breeders. The article thereby contributes to a growing body of scholarship highlighting ways in which the domestic-science movement forged new scientific objects and practices around the turn of the twentieth century. By the 1930s, dogs were routinely being upheld as exemplars of the kinds of homely existence made possible by scientifically informed approaches to domestic living.

Abstract:

Robots operating in domestic environments generally need to interact with articulated objects, such as doors, cabinets, dishwashers or fridges. In this work, we present a novel, probabilistic framework for modeling articulated objects as kinematic graphs. Vertices in this graph correspond to object parts, while edges between them model their kinematic relationship. In particular, we present a set of parametric and non-parametric edge models and how they can robustly be estimated from noisy pose observations. We furthermore describe how to estimate the kinematic structure and how to use the learned kinematic models for pose prediction and for robotic manipulation tasks. We finally present how the learned models can be generalized to new and previously unseen objects. In various experiments using real robots with different camera systems as well as in simulation, we show that our approach is valid, accurate and efficient. Further, we demonstrate that our approach has a broad set of applications, in particular for the emerging fields of mobile manipulation and service robotics.

Abstract:

The rapid introduction of software products and other objects of intellectual property rights in the context of the fourth industrial revolution requires the improvement of methodical approaches to identifying the costs of their acquisition and creation. Such approaches will allow unambiguously determining the corresponding costs in the accounting system and reflecting them in the financial statements. The purpose of the article is to disclose the essence and identification of criteria for the recognition of intellectual property objects in the accounting system, taking into account the specifics of the use of information and communication technologies. Based on the analysis of domestic regulatory and methodical documents regulating the accounting for intangible assets, and international accounting standards, a number of inconsistent points have been identified on identifying the costs of acquiring and creating intellectual property objects and the conditions for their inclusion in current expenses or the initial cost of fixed assets. For the purpose of justified identification of these costs as an accounting object, the criteria for recognizing costs for the acquisition and creation of intellectual property objects have been systematized using the example of software products. The approach proposed by the author will contribute to the reasonable formation of the corresponding costs and their reflection in the accounting and reporting of the enterprise. Based on this, it will be possible to determine the objective financial results of the enterprise and evaluate its value. It was also proposed to apply a unified approach to determining the value of an object of intellectual property rights as an object of accounting and an investment object. This will allow introducing a unified monitoring system for long-term expenses in the accounting of the enterprise.

Abstract:

The principal goal of this article is to study domestic artifacts in Masulih’s houses. This article points to the multidimensionality of domestic artifacts which can be categorized as being signifiers of research respondent’s beliefs and values, being part of the household’s social relations, and eliciting memories of the household. Research findings also highlight that some domestic artifacts have a life cycle and go through various phases in their life span. Qualitative research methods were used for data collection. Various extended field works were conducted in Masulih’s houses between 2008 and 2019. The principal techniques used for data collection were object interview, photo elicitation, and participant observation. The principal focus of interview sessions was on displayed objects and photographs in Masulih’s houses. During various interview sessions, respondents were asked to describe and narrate the stories of their domestic artifacts. Respondent narratives regarding their domestic artifacts highlight that the mentioned artifacts can be part of a complex web which mainly contains local inhabitants, houses, landscapes, memories, rituals, and values and beliefs. Furthermore, the study of domestic artifacts suggests that Masulih houses should not be considered solely as sites for the consumption of artifacts but places for the production of artifacts such as textiles. In this way, it can be said that local inhabitants are in constant connection with artifacts.
