Abstract:
The objective of this research is to describe the aspects of creativity in Keratin Tongan Dan Keening (Handcraft and Arts), a main textbook, used in the fifth grade of Elementary School. The aspects of creativity are identified as personality, motivator, process and product. This research employed2 content analysis method based on the data gathered by studying the whole book. It is found out that this book does not contain all aspects of creativity as expected in a textbook for Handcraft and Arts. This research, therefore, suggests some recommendation for writing a textbook for Handcraft and Arts.

Abstract:
Presbyopia causes diminishing of vision-targeted life quality and occupational performance for most people over 40 years old. It affects the ability to perform visual tasks at near distance such as book reading, handcrafts, stitching, cooking and surgical operation. Although there are some treatment modalities such as surgery, the use of near-glasses and contact lenses for presbyopia, topical drug treatment for pharmacological control of presbyopia is currently a very popular and attractive nonsurgical option. In this review, we tried to summarise the presbyopia drop treatment.

Abstract:
This paper discusses Sidel?s criticism of certain Kerschensteiner?s views about work-school and work-education. Sidel disputed that Kerschensteiner was the creator of the idea about work-school, emphasizing that, significantly before Kerschensteiner, he put forth this idea in his papers, in which he proved the pedagogical value of work and the need for work-school. Sidel objects to Kerschensteiner that he did not convincingly elaborate the need for introducing work-school, that, when explaining the need for handcraft, he underestimated the significance of books for education and culture in general, that he did not specify the term "giftedness", that is, that he did not indicate that besides spiritual, there are other kinds of giftedness and that he did not understand correctly the relation between work and obviousness. Sidel also thinks that Kerschensteiner did not understand the relation between the society, state and education, i.e. that he did not demonstrate that school reform is conditioned by social reasons, that work-school is a social an political need, that work education is the need and interest of modern society and state. Also, he objects to Kerschensteiner that he did not understand nor emphasize the significance and value of handcraft for artistic education, that he did not speak about the role of work in the development of inventive spirit of the young, that he did not sufficiently emphasize that significance of handcraft for the development of will, moral and character, that he did not speak in which way work-school can be realized, i.e. he did not see the mutual relationship between social development and school and did not demand any social changes for the purpose of accomplishing that goal. Sidel concludes that Kerschensteiner?s work-school, introduced in the conditions of monarchist organization of schools in Germany, cannot be a role model which should be followed.

Abstract:
Brazil adopts an educational inclusion policy, which is based on the insertion of students with special needs in the elementary and high school. In the State of São Paulo, Brazil, visually impaired students, who attend public schools, receive books adapted for blind and low sighted individuals, so they can participate on Geography classes. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the enlarged material adapted to braille used at the elementary school. The analysis was based on the principle of the graphical semiology developed by ALMEIDA (2015), which discusses the use of alternative materials in order to represent areas, lines and dots with different heights, textures and shapes. The results were obtained through interviews, surveys and evaluation of teachers and students, who somehow experience the specificities of the visually impaired students daily. We observed that the adapted books do not bring all information contained in the original versions of the books and some of the exercises are not presented. Furthermore we could notice that the teachers and other students do not have any level of proficiency in understanding braille, which can hamper the interaction between visually impaired and the other students. After the observations, we adapted 22 maps using colored materials and handcraft techniques taking in-to account the different needs of the low sighted audience. The materials used are easy to be found and purchased, since they have a low cost. Using this alternative material we achieved a learning that was representative to all students and to the teachers, providing the socialization of the acquired knowledge.

Abstract:
In modern electronic stock exchanges there is an opportunity to analyze event driven market microstructure data. This data is highly informative and describes physical price formation which makes it possible to find complex patterns in price dynamics. It is very time consuming and hard to find this kind of patterns by handcrafted rules. However, modern machine learning models are able to solve such issues automatically by learning price behavior which is always changing. The present study presents profitable trading system based on a machine learning model and market microstructure data. Data for the research was collected from Moscow stock exchange MICEX and represents a limit order book change log and all market trades of a liquid security for a certain period. Logistic regression model was used and compared to neural network models with different configuration. According to the study results logistic regression model has almost the same prediction quality as neural network models have but also has a high speed of response which is very important for stock market trading. The developed trading system has medium frequency of deals submission that lets it to avoid expensive infrastructure which is usually needed in high-frequency trading systems. At the same time, the system uses the potential of high quality market microstructure data to the full extent. This paper describes the entire process of trading system development including feature engineering, models behavior comparison and creation of trading strategy with testing on historical data.

Abstract:
Manoel de Barros se traduziu na liberdade e no encantamento dos versos, em um trabalho artesanal com as palavras. Na linguagem, construiu um infinito particular, onde desvela muito mais do que as belezas do Pantanal, mas a grandeza do homem e da vida, uma poesia contemporânea que dialoga com a tradição simbolista e moderna. Exemplo disso é O livro das Ignorãças, no qual o autor apresenta seu percurso criativo e as origens de sua criação poética, transformando o ínfimo, o nada e as miudezas em pura poesia. Assim, este trabalho apresenta um pouco do projeto poético de Barros, especialmente no livro em questão, refletindo sobre seu processo criativo de acordo com algumas das teorias da criação poética. *** The unlimits of the word of Manoel de Barros ***Manoel de Barros translated himself into the freedom and enchantment of the verses, in a handcrafted work with words. In language, he constructed a particular infinite, where he unveils much more than the beauties of Pantanal, but the greatness of man and life, contemporary poetry that dialogues with the symbolism and modern tradition. A great example is O livro das Ignorãças, in which the author presents his creative journey and the origins of his poetic creation, transforming the tiny, the nothingness and the offal into pure poetry. Thus, this paper presents a little of the poetic project of Barros, especially in this book, reflecting on its creative process according to some poetic creation theories.Keywords: Poetry; Manoel de Barros; Modern lyric; Poetic creation.

Abstract:
Yarn has the potential to be monstrous when placed in public places. It can cause controversy, even when carefully planned as a public art installation involving collaboration with business developers and city stakeholders. This article focuses on the fallout from City Hall on one such yarn installation at a public park in Rochester, New York, in summer 2018 and applies the theoretical lens of ‘monstrosity’ used by Nicola Moffat in the book Textiles, Community and Controversy: The Knitting Map. The article demonstrates that while the twelve original tapestries were well received by the Rochester community, they were deemed ‘not natural’ by City Hall and ordered to be removed, despite permission previously granted by a city official. Ultimately, despite the handcraft controversy, this yarn installation ignited a positive community-based response in favour of public art and ‘textile togetherness’, a term defined in this article. And later the tapestries found a second life in a different community revitalization project. The article offers suggestions for future organizers of yarn installations and calls for more public art to be placed in urban areas as the output of community engagement.

Abstract:
Abstract In both World Wars, combatant nations, including the United States, Britain, and Germany, learned that inadequate or poorly-maintained footwear produced costly and preventable casualties from trench foot and frostbite. While provision of shoes and boots to troops were major issues in earlier conflicts, no nation before World War I had fully appreciated the significance of warm, dry, well-fitting socks to the effectiveness of soldiers in the field. The large numbers of trench foot casualties in World War I, especially among the French and British, convinced policymakers that this vital commodity must receive a higher priority in military production planning, but few nations in wartime could shift production to knitting mills rapidly enough to make a difference. Thus, in Britain and the U.S, the best policy option proved to be recruiting women and children civilians to knit socks by hand for the military in the first war, and for refugees, prisoners and civilians in the second. This paper discusses the economic and military importance of this effort, including the numbers of pairs produced, and the program’s role in supplementing industrial production. The production of this low-technology but crucial item of military apparel is typical of detail-oriented tasks performed by women under conditions of full mobilization for war, in that they have a high impact on battlefield and home front performance and morale, but very low visibility as significant contributions to national defense. Often, both during and after the emergency, these efforts are ridiculed as trivial and/or wasteful. Unlike women pilots or industrial workers, handcrafters of essential supplies are regarded as performing extensions of their domestic roles as makers and caretakers of clothing and food. This was especially true in the U.S. in and after World War II, a wealthy industrialized nation that took pride in its modern - and thoroughly masculinist - military industrial complex.

Abstract:
This paper examines how the 2011 Penguin Threads editions, a series of books whose covers were hand-embroidered, intertwine the materiality of the book with digital technologies, thereby evincing Jessica Pressman's concept of "bookishness." By analyzing the historical foundations of the early English embroidered book, particularly its emphasis on the bespoke nature of embroidery, along with an analysis of early-2000s understandings of the digital, the paper argues that even as the Penguin Threads editions privilege the materiality of their handcrafted nature, they are also inevitably, and inextricably, digital products. This is, as the paper demonstrates, borne out by their conception, production, and reception.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Baldosas por la memoria are memorial paving stones handcrafted by loosely networked activists. Produced continuously from 2006 to an informally established protocol, they memorialize “the disappeared” and others murdered by the state terrorism of the Argentinian dictatorship (1976–1983). As a synecdoche of the “down and dirty” everyday pavements, they function as a metonym for democratic struggle and popular sovereignty. Aesthetically, they work against the “forgetting” and kitschification to which conventional memorials become subject. Through remediation into books and a DVD documentary, they participate in controversies within the international politics of human rights. Using a “material turn” within visual analysis, yet distinct from the “new materialism,” this article explains how they function within familiar genres of memorialization but in wholly novel ways. Baldosas create ethical complexity and moral ambiguity by troubling collective memory. Thus, we examine their relation to guilt, complicity, trauma, and affect.

Abstract:
The publications of Ediciones Vigía have intense emotional lives that provoke surprise and enchantment among reader-viewers. This chapter explores how and why Vigía books have become such prized possessions by highlighting their circulation through both the market economy of collectors, consumers, and tourists and the affective economy of gift exchange. It theorizes that the emotional intimacy and aesthetic experience engendered by the handcrafted books draw reader-viewers into the press’s community of writers, artists, artisans, and admirers. This investment, in turn, provides a symbolic antidote to the spiritual deprivation of a utilitarian state and re-inspires the liberating idealism once promised by twentieth-century Latin American revolutionary movements.
