Abstract:

Chinese urbanization issues were analyzed from two aspects. On the one hand, segregation migrants were studied in labor market and housing conditions as invisible urbanization issue. On the other hand, over-afford housing price and urban sprawl were analyzed as prominent urbanization issue. The results show that urbanization issues arise is due to the breaking of harmonious relationship between subsystems of city.

Abstract:

One of the top reasons given for use of the internet is the ability to search for health information. However, much of the planning for web-based health information often fails to consider accessibility issues. If health care organizations and community agencies’ web sites have the latest, most wellresearched information on the health topics of the day, it is useless to those who cannot access it because of invisible technological barriers. Many flashy, high-tech sites were designed only to appeal to the needs of the mainstream population, with no consideration given to how people with disabilities must adapt their use of the web in order to access information. This article addresses issues of access specific to web site development, and will explore barriers to accessibility frequently experienced by web users with disabilities, requirements for ADA compliance, and how people with disabilities use the web. Web site accessibility guidelines, as well as simple evaluation tools, will be discussed. A thorough review of the article will enable even the least tech-savvy of health educators to enhance their skills in planning and evaluating web sites to promote access for people with disabilities.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential to use infographics to capture, represent and communicate important information to construction designers, such that it improves their ability to understand the implications of design choices for construction workers’ health and safety. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on information obtained through a photographic Q-sort, supplemented with a literature review, health and safety information related to the design of a façade was collected from subject matter experts. This information was used to develop infographics representing the subject matter knowledge. A facilitated workshop was then held with 20 design professionals to engage them in a hazard identification process using a case study scenario. The designers were provided with the infographics and asked to comment upon how the infographics changed their assessments of the health and safety risks inherent in the case study building design. A sub-set of participants was interviewed to explore their perceptions of the impact and usefulness of the inforgraphics. Findings Infographics were developed at different levels of detail, representing potential health and safety issues associated with the site location and surroundings, the construction site environment and the detailed façade design. Workshop participants identified a number of potential health and safety issues associated with the case study scenario. However, this number increased substantially once they had viewed the infographic. Further, the health and safety issues identified when participants had access to the infographic were more likely to be less visible issues, relating to ergonomic hazards, procurement or the organisation and sequencing of work. The workshop participants who were interviewed described how the infographics enabled them to make a more global assessment of the health and safety implications of the case study building design because it helped them to understand the design in the physical construction site context. Participants also favoured the visual nature of the infographics and suggested that this format may be particularly useful to communicate important health and safety information to novice designers with limited on-site experience. Research limitations/implications The infographics developed in this research were relatively simple two-dimensional representations produced and presented in hard copy format. It is possible that more sophisticated forms of infographic could have produced different results. Thus, it is important that future research develops different types of infographics and rigorously evaluates their effectiveness in developing designers’ health and safety-related knowledge and improving decision making. Practical implications The results indicate that simple infographics can help design professionals to better understand the health and safety implications of design decisions in the context of the construction site environment. In particular, the infographics appear to have increased designers’ ability to recognize less visible health and safety-related issues. The designers interviewed also described the potential usefulness of the infographics in design workshops as a tool to stimulate discussion and develop a shared understanding of the health and safety aspects of a particular design decision or choice. Originality/value The value of the research lies in the development and evaluation of infographics as a tool supports the integration of health and safety into design decision making. The potential to develop these tools into digital or web-based resources is also significant.

Abstract:

This paper aims to emphasize the importance of interpretation in the translation process, the implications deriving from it, as well as their effect on the reader and the way they affect his or her reception and cultural use of the text. This subject matter will be examined through one of Italo Calvino’s best-known works, more specifically The Invisible Cities (translated by William Weaver). This is a work that can be ascribed to one of the branches of travel literature, namely the imaginary voyage, and that can be read as a sort of philosophical vademecum. Precisely because of its nature, it can undoubtedly be considered a text characterised by a structure, a style and a language that make it susceptible to different interpretations.In the translation analysis of this work, the focus will be on how translation can sometimes move away from the so called intentio operis that is, from interpretation in semiotic terms, from what the work wants to communicate on the level of signification, expressing it through its intrinsic textual coherence (Eco, 1990). Specifically, through the examination of certain stylistic, grammatical and lexical choices made by the translator, some portions of the text will be highlighted in which the construction of the meaning differs from that of the source language, thus distorting the textual cooperation whose protagonist is the reader (Eco, 1979).

Abstract:

The topic of smart cities is growing in importance. However, a field study in the city of Malmö, Sweden shows that there is a discrepancy between the ongoing activities of urban planners and companies using analytical and digital tools to interpret humans’ behavior and preferences on the one hand, and the visibility of these developments in public spaces on the other. Citizens are affected by the invisible data and software not only when they use an application, but also when their living space is transformed. By Research through Design, this thesis examines ways of triggering discussion about smart city issues, which are hidden in software and code. In this thesis, a specific solution is developed: a public, tangible, and interactive visualization in the form of an interactive signpost. The final, partly functioning prototype is mountable in public places and points in the direction of the most beautiful walking path. The design refers to a smart city application that analyzes geo-tagged locative media and thereby predicts the beauty and security of a place.The aim is to trigger discussion about the contradictory issue of software interpreting the beauty of a place. Through its tangible, non-digital, and temporary character, the interactive representation encourages passers-by to interact with the prototype.

J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is generally assumed as fantasy literature. This thesis aims to discover its theological value by using the theological perspective and discussing the effect of the historical background of its publication time; on the other hand, it also offers a way to contemplate the phenomenon of over-regarded of the literary theories these days. The theological value of The Lord of the Rings can be traced back to the club, the Inklings, which Tolkien held with other Oxford dons. The members share their theological and literary opinions and give advices to each other’s literary works. Thus, being one of the productions of this club, the value of The Lord of the Rings cannot easily be defined through the cannon of literary theory. The thesis focuses on the issue of invisible world, that is, another world which is different from the material world human beings are familiar with. It is a world can be sensed, but cannot be proved, be seen and even be identified. The everyday world is limited by human language and human time, but in The Lord of the Rings, the invisible world is shown without limitation. Due to the transcendence of human nature, a wretch power enables human being to communicate with God and sense the calling from God. In the process of responding to call, human beings can leave behind the material limits and enter the invisible world.

Abstract:

This book places the discourse surrounding stigmata within the visual culture of the late medieval and early modern periods, with a particular focus on Italy and on female stigmatics. Echoing, and to a certain extent recreating, the wounds and pain inflicted on Christ during his passion, stigmata stimulated controversy. Related to this were issues that were deeply rooted in contemporary visual culture such as how stigmata were described and performed and whether, or how, it was legitimate to represent stigmata in visual art. Because of the contested nature of stigmata and because stigmata did not always manifest in the same form - sometimes invisible, sometimes visible only periodically, sometimes miraculous, and sometimes self-inflicted - they provoked complex questions and reflections relating to the nature and purpose of visual representation. Dr Cordelia Warr is Senior Lecturer in Art History, University of Manchester, UK.

Abstract:

This chapter sketches some of the methods and sources that scholars use to reconstruct the history of the emotions. It considers some challenges historians face when studying emotions, as they try to pinpoint both what they are studying and how to study it. The feeling itself would be long gone, after all, as well as the person who experienced it. The chapter addresses these issues by first examining the contested connection between feelings and words. It then turns its attention to an equally thorny issue—the relationship between emotional norms and individual emotional experience. Finally, the chapter considers the sources that scholars have available to them, and the creative ways that historians use them to understand the past.

AbstractThis chapter explores the value of bringing thought about invisible energy policy together with key analytic endeavours in the field of energy poverty. It uses empirical material to develop understanding of how capabilities that are linked to experiences of energy deprivation are shaped by (non-energy) policy. Within this, the chapter explores the potential for the invisible energy policy orientation to advance existing work related to the ways that wider discourses and framings shape experiences of energy poverty issues. The chapter gives particular focus to the implications of relations between discourses of fuel poverty and those of broader poverty, arising from energy and welfare policy, respectively, extending analysis by exploring how such discourses act upon subjects in ways that affect possibilities for challenging conditions of energy poverty.

Abstract:

AbstractBody fluids of cancer patients have attracted increasing attention in biomedical research within the last 15 years since—as so-called liquid biopsies—they represent a non-invasive source of clinically exploitable biomarkers, including circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA). Assessment of CTCs in peripheral blood from solid cancer patients has proven useful for detection of subclinical disease which otherwise remains invisible for current staging techniques. Based on results from large cohort studies in breast and colon cancer, diagnostic tests for enumeration of CTCs have been developed which can be used for tumor staging, prognosis, and post-treatment surveillance. Circulating plasma DNA derived from Epstein–Barr or human papilloma viruses has been established as a sensitive and highly specific biomarker for early cancer detection and disease monitoring. More recently, first studies have been initiated for studying the diagnostic value of mutant variants in plasma-derived ctDNA for treatment selection, response assessment and early detection of treatment failure.Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a malignancy associated with locoregionally advanced stage at presentation, dismal prognosis and little improvement in treatment outcome over the past decade, especially for patients with metastatic disease. HNSCC patients might therefore benefit from incorporation of liquid biopsy-based assays in clinical management. In the following chapters, I will summarize current evidence of the diagnostic value of liquid biopsies in HNSCC and give examples of potential clinical applications.

This paper explores some of the workforce issues associated with creating authentic and unique visitor experiences. It highlights two essential components of providing positive visitor experiences - infrastructure, and a skilled tourism workforce. We introduce the emerging concept of ‘keystone occupations’. Using cases from across the Tasman we show how destinations depend on these critical occupations, especially as their skills are vital to fully functional infrastructure in mobilizing visitor experiences.

Abstract:

Abstract Modern techniques of semiconductor physical failure analysis are effective at revealing physical defects and device material composition, however, dopant profiles/ concentrations are not easily determined since these materials are in trace concentrations. Therefore, defects related to dopants are often referred to as invisible defects. New techniques have been incorporated into failure analysis to reveal the invisible defects resulting from electrical carriers (via SCM/SSRM) and physical doping profile (via STEM/EDS) in nm-scale dimension. Using nanoprobing analysis, simulation for electrical modeling, along with EDS and SCM for physical profiling, we have a great opportunity to uncover abnormal doping issues allowing completion of the failure analysis and the execution of corrective actions.

The article identifies relations between the design of the Centro Cultural São Paulo (1975-1982) by Eurico Prado Lopes and Luiz Telles, with a new sensibility that emerges from the sixties onwards, driven by criticism of the consumer society, the energy crisis of seventies and the growing ecological awareness. From the identification of these relationships, theoretical and disciplinary propositions by Vittorio Gregotti, Kenneth Frampton and Stan Allen are summoned and discussed as markers of changes in design concepts and postures that progressively incorporate environmental concerns and sustainability issues. Some projects that demonstrate the parallelism of this ecological awareness in Brazil and abroad are selected and the multiple faces of its expression in contemporary architecture are analyze.

Abstract:

Post Disaster Reconstruction (PDR) projects are currently facing many issues. The highly demanding construction process of PDR projects that involves a number of different and well-coordinated courses of action can be simplified through integrating lean construction. Hence, Lean Iceberg Model (LIM) implementation for PDR projects will eventually minimise the issues in PDR projects. However, there is lack of research on implementation of lean construction to PDR projects. Therefore, this study aims to develop a framework to minimise PDR issues through LIM. This research adopted interpretivism stance and uses the qualitative survey strategy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten experts, selected based on purposive sampling. The code-based content analysis was used to data analysis, which was supported by NVivo12. The findings of the study revealed that lack of quality, lack of budget and delays as the main issues in PDR projects. The essential part, therefore, was to identify invisible elements which were most of the times neglected rather than the visible elements of LIM. Finally, a framework was developed by systematically mapping the identified PDR issues for both visible and invisible elements of the LIM. In addition, the "LIM for PDR" mobile application has been developed as part of the framework which deals with educating and guiding users on a successful implementation of lean in a PDR project through LIM. The results of this research contribute to overcome the PDR issues which can be derived from the LIM. Hence, industry practitioners can use the outcomes to successfully implement lean in PDR projects.

Abstract:

It can be easier to conceive of and anticipate physical threats than cyber threats. Cyber threats can involve unseen remote hackers, and capitalize on invisible wireless signals as vectors. As such cyber threats are often out of sight and out of mind. How can we make these abstract, 'invisible' threats more intuitive and salient? We employed concrete analogies to enable future Army Officers to better anticipate cyber threats in tactical contexts. Modern multi-domain battle involves not only physical threats like fire fights and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), but also, increasingly, cyber threats. For example, the enemy may jam, intercept or track communication signals, hack into computing systems to exfiltrate or alter information, and/or hack equipment with electronic and autonomous components (including navigation systems, drones and robots). To ensure readiness, all soldiers, (not only cyber specialists) must have some awareness of this 'threatscape'. We developed the problem anticipation task (PAT) to gauge the degree to which participants would anticipate cyber as well as non-cyber tactical threats. They read a hypothetical mission description and tried to anticipate various problems that could arise. The mission explicitly mentioned several cyber-vulnerable components (e.g., radios, navigation systems, drones, biosensors, cell phones). Prior research using a sample from the same population indicated that about 40% of subjects did not anticipate a single cyber threat (Pyke, Ness, Feltner, in press). The current research used the PAT as a pre- and post-test and included an intervening intervention. Experimental subjects read a passage about a fictitious historical mission set in the 1800s. The version of the passage presented to the experimental group included historical issues (e.g., carrier pigeon intercepted by enemy) that were intended to be analogous to modern cyber-related issues (e.g., wireless communications signal intercepted/tapped by enemy). The intervention for the comparison group involved a passage describing historical issues (e.g., horse losing a shoe) that were intended to be analogous to modern non-cyber related issues (e.g., vehicle breakdown). Note that the link to the corresponding modern situation was not made explicit to the participants, they were just exposed to a historical situation that could lend itself to being analogous to a modern cyber situation. For the experimental group (but not the control) there was a significant gain in the percent of participants who were able anticipate one or more cyber issues. Thus, concrete analogies can serve to make 'invisible' cyber threats more intuitive and easier to anticipate.

Abstract:

Characters in computing are symbols that stand for a single unit of data such as a number, alphabetical letter, or punctuation mark. In health information entry and exchange, correct encoding and decoding of characters in computing is essential for accurate documentation and interpretation of information. When something goes wrong and there are changes to or deletions of the intended characters, there is missing or inaccurate data in the health information system. Due to the very nature of health information systems, it is difficult to detect when information is missing. Another hidden attribute that is invisible to users is the way characters are interpreted by computing systems. Lost and invisible information can lead to patient safety issues.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Maude database and the Institute for Safe Medication Practice (ISMP) describe a few isolated issues with computing characters and health information. Though the loss of health information due to failure to correctly translate computing characters would seem to be a problem with potentially high severity, we were unable to locate a collection of reported issues or a discussion summarizing fail-safe and error-tolerant system designs addressing this topic area. The human factors and human-centered design communities are uniquely knowledgeable and skilled for addressing issues with visibility of system states and error-tolerant design and would be in an ideal position for considering solutions to this issue.In this paper, we review and group issue reports on characters in computing and information entry and exchange. We reflect on human factors and safety engineering principles for designing systems to prevent, detect, and mitigate latent issues in this problem space. Furthermore, we explore special characters that present with added challenges when used in computing systems.To facilitate fail-safe interoperability and health information exchange, systems will require designs that address latent issues brought on by hidden attributes of characters in computing. Using human factors and safety engineering principles, we can help prospectively design to detect and disarm the snares found within and across health information systems.

"THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WANG MENG AND THE RUSSIAN LITERATURE — A STUDY OF WANG MENG’S ACCEPTANCE AND VARIATION OF RUSSIAN AND SOVIET LITERATURE IN THE 30 YEARS OF CHINESE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE." In 9th International Conference ISSUES OF FAR EASTERN LITERATURES. St. Petersburg State University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21638/11701/9785288062049.33.

Abstract:

Wang Meng is one of the Chinese writers whose works have been most translated in Russia, and even the sales of translations of the same work in Russia have greatly exceeded the sales in China. It can be said that Wang Meng’s influence on Russia is the same as that of Russian literature on Wang Meng’s life, and the latter is an indispensable cause of the former. This paper takes the period from the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the late period of 1980s as the timeline, the influence of Soviet literature on Wang Meng’s writing during the Sino-Soviet period, and the variation of Wang Meng’s acceptance of Russian and Soviet literature in the new period. Combined with text analysis, the author explains the literary phenomenon of writer Wang Meng. First of all, the influence of Soviet literature on Wang Meng’s writing during the Sino-Soviet period was divided into two parts: one is the “invisible” imitation of Russian and Soviet literature by contemporary Chinese writers; the other is Wang Meng’s inheritance and influence of Soviet literature. Among them, the Slavic spirit in Wang Meng’s works and the “revolutionary” theme in Wang Meng’s novels are the innovations of this article. In the second, the author separately analyzes three aspects: Wang Meng’s practice of Bakhtin’s carnivalized poetics, the change from idealism to realism, and the Orthodox spirit, Lao Zhuang thought and Wang Meng’s literary worldview. According to the language expression, the author’s creative style and the writers’ literary thought analysis, author explored Wang Meng’s acceptance and transformation of Soviet literary theories, literary genres, and Russian national spirit after the 1980s, and revealed Wang Meng’s reform and innovation in the literary path. Furthermore, from this perspective, examine the reasons why Wang Meng’s novel creation can stand on its own, repeatedly innovate, and the literary charm is evergreen.

Abstract:

Digital twin technology holds immense potential for the construction industry in developing countries, while providing numerous benefits. Yet, financial, cultural, infrastructural and technological barriers hinder the implementation of digital twin. Researchers have emphasised the importance of considering both visible and invisible barriers of digital twin implementation. ‘Lean Iceberg Model’ (LIM) emphasises that most of the underlying barriers and problems in a project are invisible and unaddressed, and it is critical to solve these underlying issues to achieve effective implementation. The study aims to develop a LIM to minimise barriers for successful digital twin implementation in the Sri Lankan construction industry. This study adopts an interpretivism stance and employs a qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 experts chosen through purposive sampling. VBA script was employed to analyse the data. LIM highlights the unseen aspects such as leadership, commitment, employee engagement, and organisational strategy as crucial to the successful digital twin implementation. Thus, a comprehensive approach is required to contemplates the technical aspects with the organisation's overall strategy, employee engagement, and leadership commitment. Moreover, cultural values, norms, leadership, and social networks are also examined to determine their impact on digital twin implementation. A framework for minimising the barriers to the implementation of digital twins in the Sri Lankan construction industry using the LIM has been developed incorporating the findings, which will offer valuable insights for construction industry professionals and policymakers interested in implementing digital twin to improve construction project management.

Abstract:

Software developers participating in online communities benefit from quick solutions to technology specific issues and, eventually, get better in troubleshooting technology malfunctioning. In this work, we investigate whether developers who are part of online communities for cryptography programming are getting better in using cryptography with time. This is a crucial issue nowadays, when "real-world crypto" is becoming a topic of serious investigation, not only academically but in security management as a whole: cryptographic programming handled by non-specialists is an important and often invisible source of vulnerabilities [RWC ]. We performed a retrospective and longitudinal study, tracking developers' answers about cryptography programming in two online communities. We found that cryptography misuse is not only common in online communities, but also recurrent in developer's discussions, suggesting that developers can learn how to use crypto APIs without actually learning cryptography. In fact, we could not identify significant improvements in cryptography learning in many daily tasks such as avoiding obsolete cryptography. We conclude that the most active users of online communities for cryptography APIs are not learning the tricky details of applied cryptography, a quite worrisome state of affairs.

Abstract:

The year 2009 marked both the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his landmark book, On the Origin of Species. In August 2009, to celebrate these milestones, the American Academy of Microbiology convened a colloquium in the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin made some of his most crucial observations, to consider a new question: what would Darwin have made of the microbial world? The ability to sail to remote sites like the Galapagos, and access to specimens collected by himself and other avid naturalists, gave Darwin the information he needed to develop a conceptual framework for understanding life's visible diversity. Today, new discoveries and technical capabilities in microbiology are providing information that for the first time makes it possible to develop a conceptual framework for deepening our understanding of the diversity of the microbial world. Darwin focused his attention on visible life forms, which actually make up only a small fraction of the living world—the invisible world of microorganisms was as yet largely unexplored in his time. Yet Darwin's theory has proven remarkably robust; despite some fundamental differences between microorganisms and the rest of the living world, the two lynchpins of Darwin's theory—descent with modification and natural selection—have proven as powerful in explaining microbial evolution as they have in explaining macrobial evolution. Since Darwin, the advent of Mendelian Genetics and the Modern Synthesis have provided a wealth of new tools to evolutionists; these tools are also of fundamental importance in the modern study of microbiology. The scientists gathered at the colloquium considered two fundamental questions: ▪ Is the balance of evolutionary mechanisms, for example natural selection or drift, or individual and group selection, consistent among microbes and similar between microbes and macrobes? ▪ How are the mode and tempo of microbial evolution influenced by Earth's diversity of environments, and the changing global environment, and how are microbes themselves driving these changes? The colloquium provided an opportunity for individuals with expertise in evolutionary biology, genetic engineering, mycology, virology, microbial ecology, and other fields to discuss these issues and review the areas in which research is needed to fill gaps in our understanding.
