2. GIANT voice : An alternative destiny for city glitches
- Author

Tang, Yuqing and Tang, Yuqing
- Abstract
My degree project aims to find an alternative destiny to the city glitches- the forgotten industrial buildings which are constantly being torn down. All the memories, the urban creatures that nest inside them, are considered disposable in city planning. The aim of this project is not to stop urban development but to create spaces where this endless force magically stops, a bubble of “utopia”, where the urban beings take their own time to flourish, undisturbed. I focus my project on the abandoned factory house Nitrolackfabriken in the southern part of Stockholm, a building threatened with demolition. I went through three stages in the design process: first background research, second a design proposal about turning the building into a functional culture house, and lastly landed on a design intervention where I gave up the previous culture house proposal, refused it on behave of the building itself, and gave the house back to what is already inside. I created three design interventions in this new part of the project: the garden, the pond, and the fire room. I see the building and all the small beings nesting inside as part of an intertwining relationship, a living being, a “GIANT.” I abstracted her into a human-like shape, wishing to create an emotional resonance between the GIANT and us. To remind us that we are all part of this complexity.

3. Plugawe i orgiastyczne święto miłości? Sobótka w ujęciu Jana Kochanowskiego.

- Abstract
Noc świętojańska (Midsummer night) is associated with the very distant times when the sun and water were worshipped. At that time the Slavs paid special attention to astronomical phenomena resulting from the Earth's rotation around the Sun. The time of the summer solstice appeared to be a time of great celebration, as evidenced by the wide range of nomenclature defining the entirety of these rites: Kupalnocka, Kupała, noc świętojańska or Sobótka. It is also very likely that this celebration has become a Christian equivalent of the pre-existing cult of a pagan deity, as evidenced by, for example, numerous Midsummer rites: clapping, playing, singing, dancing, jumping around the fire, girding oneself with mugwort. Performing night dances, singing and pairing up became the basis not only for accusations by preachers that pagan idols were being glorified, but it even began to arouse anxiety among moralists, who considered the above-mentioned acts debauched. Although Catholics and Protestants tried to combat the customs related to the Sobótka, Jan Kochanowski decided to maintain these folk traditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of firing pottery is to change clay, a plastic material, into ceramic, which is aplastic. Examined here are structures designed to fire pottery or faience or to make glass (although the latter might be better described as furnaces). Firing can take place in an open, bonfire-like environment, which can also be enclosed as a firing structure. Beyond this is the development of the true kiln of which there are two main types: updraft and downdraft. The first of these is by far the most common on archaeological sites throughout the world dating to before the nineteenth century CE. Here the firing technology of ancient Egypt is discussed in particular.

In a land in war, full of misery and pain, a child discovers a hope, reading. Muidinga will find in theNotebooks that he reads by the light of a bonfire the absence of night fear. He will find a dream source through all the stories and also right at the end his lost identity. Reading is a way of escaping from the harsh reality of the end of the villages, escaping from being condemned to loneliness, because reading opens the door to imagination that takes over the reality of the child with no memory. Reading aloud to his only companion, Tuahir, all ows him to share stories, following an ancient oral tradition. The dream of reading is transposed to reality through the childhood game of pretending to be characters and also through the final revelation of the identity of the stories thus, the unreal is diluted into the real.

Aim: San Juan (Summer Solstice) is an annual festival celebrated in many parts of Spain on June 24 by lighting bonfires on beaches and in open air. The aim of this study is to analyse the patient profile of those sustaining burns the night before San Juan.Material and Methods: The data of 179 patients who sustained burns on June 23 and 24 between 2005 and 2015 were collected retrospectively.Results: The average age of the patients involved in this study was 27.33 years, with males constituting a higher proportion. Hands were the most affected area of the body, and the average burn area was 3.39%. No statistically significant relationship was found between the tidal times and the number of patients with burns, although the latter increased at low tide (p=0.177).Conclusions: The results of this study can guide prevention campaigns during these festivities in the future.

The article is devoted to the to the Northern myth, markedly present in the poetry of Nikolai Gumilyov. The poems included in the book Bonfire (1918) are of most interest. The external reason for writing this kind of Scandinavian cycle was the poet’s sojourn in Sweden. This is, however, by no means “geographical poetry” or a versified report from a journey. Scandinavian themes appear to be closely connected with the Slavonic ones and the interconnection even demonstrates some attempts on the part of Gumilyov to construct his own concept of Russia’s historical development. Статья посвящена северному мифу, знаки которого обнаруживаются в поэзии Николая Степановича Гумилева. Наибольший интерес представляют стихи, вошедшие в книгу Костер (1918). Поводом для написания «скандинавского цикла» стало пребывание поэта в Швеции. Вместе с тем это вовсе не «географическая» поэзия в виде «отчета» о путешествиях. Скандинавская тематика тесно связана со славянской и демонстрирует попытки Гумилева выстроить собственную концепцию исторического развития России.

PurposeThere is a small amount of research that examines the post-crisis communication efforts of organizations (Coombs, 2012). The discourse of renewal has a focus on learning and positive views of the future. However, there have been some efforts to link it with memorials (Veil et al., 2011). More can be done so that memorials and remembering enhance our understanding of the effects of post-crisis communication. This paper analyzes the Texas A&M Bonfire tragedy as an example of how remembrance, through the shared experience of grief and memorializing, communicates renewal and how the narrative of the crisis has been successfully institutionalized within the organization.Design/methodology/approachThe study relies on 12 qualitative interviews with undergraduate students attending Texas A&M.FindingsThe findings indicate that memorials are important facilitators of renewal as they carry multiple messages. The results from the study indicated that the narrative of the Bonfire crisis has been embedded within the organizational culture of A&M through a memorialization process facilitated by renewal discourse. Additionally, renewal was found to influence stakeholder perceptions of crises and to be an underlying force of learning and change following organizational crisis.Originality/valueThe paper explores how an organization presents a past crisis to new stakeholders. This paper explores how stakeholders experience and interpret that post-crisis communication. Additionally, the memorial creates a remembering-forgetting tension as organizations want stakeholders to forget the negatives from a crisis.

The article presents organization and course of “Action of Communication of the Factories (City) and The Village” at the Grounds of Academy of Physical Education in Warsaw in the years 1949–1954. The purpose of this propaganda actions was evoking the sense of solidarity between rural and urban environments, facilitating approval for forced deliveries of agricultural produce and live animals and for socialist reconstruction of village.Creation and development tasks of Folk Sports Teams (Ludowe Zespoły Sportowe) were assigned to sports activists where village youths were supposed to gather. Also AWF in Warsaw took part in the said action. Next to establishing new LZS, conducting trainings and transferring of sports equipment, meetings with political lectures were also organized. During the period of agricultural field works groups of students traveled to villages helping in various farm activities among others in harvesting of cereals and digging potatoes and other vegetables. These meetings were made more attractive with cultural-educational programs and joint bonfires combined with dancing and singing.The research was based on analysis of archive materials and available literature by applying the method of induction and deduction.

This study researches into the dual belief phenomenon, in the context of diversity and mutual cultural influences between Christianity and Pre-Christian Slavic Old Faith (starovjerje) concepts of faith and religion, but also in the context of Post-Christianity forms like Native Faith (rodnovjerje) among Slavic peoples, and in Croatia as well, as it is part of this cultural area and heritage. This research offers definitions and terminological answers both at the theoretical and also at the practical level, through the case study made in the field research in Croatia, which gave numerous important results for this subject. The analysis of this field research reveals some of the terminological and culturological aporias linked with this topic in Croatia of the first decades of the 21th Century.

We must improve our understanding of the thermal behaviour of composite gas storage in the event of fire in order to reduce the risk of bursting. In this research, results of pool fire tests were used to improve understanding of the failure mechanisms of epoxy carbon fibre composite pressure vessels with a polymeric liner (type IV vessel) designed for a working pressure of 70 MPa. The failure mode in a pool fire test depends on the storage design and on the initial pressure of the storage. For instance, for a 100 L type IV storage without any safety system, initial pressures of 70 MPa down to 52.5 MPa result in pressure vessels bursting, and initial pressures of 35 MPa down to 17.5 MPa lead pressure vessels to loss of liner tightness. The occurrence of one mechanism or the other is due to the predominance of either heat transfer through the wall, leading to a loss of tightness; or of the degradation of the materials, leading to bursting. Thermogravimetric analyses were carried out on the pressure vessel materials to determine the onset of degradation take during pool fire tests. The temperature measurements allowed for proper characterisation of the conditions leading to the loss of liner tightness. Temperature profiles were used to link the position of the composite degradation front to the loss of tensile strength leading to bursting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

22. La fiesta de San Juan en la ciudad de Valladolid

Fernández González, Elisabet and Fernández González, Elisabet
- Abstract
This article analyzes the San Juan festivity in the city of Valladolid (Spain), looking from the original agricultural fair and the communal festivity of the neighborhood that bears its name to the official festivity, which emerged at the beginning of the democratic period. San Juan has been reflecting the changes and development of the city until showing in an explicit way the socio-political confrontation that existed in 2000. In addition to the thirteen neighborhoods that celebrate it as its own neighborhood festival, the bonfire of San Juan is lit in two different festivity spaces: the official space proposed by the Town Hall and the alternative space self-managed and proclaimed traditional. In 2007 the Town Hall claudicated due to the force of the parallel festival and, since then, the Night of San Juan has not stopped growing in the influx of participants from very diverse socioeconomic and generational categories, to whom the organizers of the Night respond by multiplying the varied musical scenarios that converge around the bonfire that burns at midnight on the beach., Este artículo analiza la fiesta de San Juan en la ciudad de Valladolid (España), desde la originaria feria agrícola y la fiesta comunal del barrio que ostenta su nombre a la fiesta oficial, surgida en el comienzo de la etapa democrática. San Juan ha ido reflejando los cambios y el desarrollo de la ciudad hasta mostrar de manera explícita la confrontación sociopolítica existente en el año 2000. Además de los trece barrios que la celebran como su fiesta vecinal, la hoguera de San Juan se enciende en dos espacios festivos diferentes: el espacio oficial propuesto desde el Ayuntamiento y el espacio alternativo autogestionado y proclamado tradicional. En 2007 el Ayuntamiento claudica ante la fuerza de la fiesta paralela y, desde entonces, la Noche de San Juan no ha dejado de crecer en afluencia de participantes de categorías socioeconómicas y generacionales muy diversas, a quienes los organizadores de la Noche dan respuesta multiplicando escenarios musicales variados que confluyen en torno a la hoguera que arde a medianoche en la playa.

Ambient particulate matter (PM) continues to be among the top environmental health concerns globally; in 2017, nearly 3 million deaths were attributed to exposure to PM2.5 around the world ( HEI, 2019 ). While much attention is paid towards point and mobile sources of PM (e.g., power plants, vehicles), episodic/periodic events such as dust storms, use of fireworks etc. can also increase ambient PM levels and lead to adverse effects on air quality, visibility, and human health, albeit in the short-term. Fireworks and bonfires are commonly used during religious and cultural festivals including Diwali (India), Lunar New Year (China), Bastille Day (France), Guy Fawkes Night (UK), Australia Day (Australia), Fourth of July/Independence Day (USA), New Year's Eve (worldwide) as well as large sporting and other events. During these events, use of fireworks results in smoke plumes which can raise the PM concentration levels for short periods of time. This review article summarizes the current body of literature on the role of fireworks use (and bonfires) on air quality, visibility, and human health. A summary of distinct type of fireworks and existing legislations/laws in different countries is also presented. Overall, there is clear evidence that such events produce exceptionally high level of pollutants, and as a result there can be intense exposures to a multipollutant mixture. In particular, the sharpest spikes are found in pollutant concentrations (such as PM2.5, PM10, and NOx) during and immediately after the firework event, followed by a decrease in the concentrations back to background levels, typically within 24 h. Peak concentrations of pollutants during firework events can exceed ambient levels by 2–8 times. As a result, overall visibility also decreases significantly, and in some cases, by as much as 92% during fireworks events. Moreover, significant health risks due to fireworks activities are also reported, although limited research has been conducted on this type of rapid air pollution exposure. The review concludes with a list of suggested future research priorities required to better understand the impacts of fireworks and bonfires on human and environmental health.

Article is devoted by the 30th anniversary from the day of bonfire in the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Based on V. M. Montvilov's book, the author attempts to open his contribution to liquidate the bonfire consequences in the Academy of Sciences’ Library. Montvilov played a great role in organizing negotiations with leading libraries and rendering international aid. His work as a UNESCO official was connected with preservation of such cultural objects of Russia as the Bolshoi Theatre, Russian State Library, the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Library. In the book «International official …», the author opened the specific character of UNESCO and emphasized a special role of this organization in the cultural heritage development of preservation. The book reflected his recollections and first impression about the Academy of Sciences’ Library and revealed new facts of elimination of the bonfire consequences. Montvilov's book is of great interest to the reader due to a wide range of problems posed in it and great factual material.

This article seeks to offer an introduction to book burning in American society. Firstly, it considers the use of fire as a method of destruction and its relation to freedom of speech and the American judicial system. It then seeks to unearth the reasons for book burning through an examination of a number of instances throughout American history. The phenomenon of book burning has been occurring worldwide for thousands of years, and as a longstanding tradition that has always drawn visceral reactions from spectators, it is still happening with alarming frequency. In America, book burning walks the fine line between censorship and free speech. It remains, however, an attack on knowledge and culture and is consequently a threat to the information management field. This paper, therefore, seeks to explore these occurrences from recent American history and discover why Americans have been, and are still burning books, in an attempt to better understand these attacks.

Modern trends in healthy food and environmentally friendly products determine the increasing demand for hemp products. The food market is developing rapidly. Thus, in Russia, the market of hemp food products in Russia has grown 4.5 times over the past three years. But in the near future, the production of textiles and non-woven materials from hemp may catch up with it. However, the pace of development of the domestic processing sector significantly lags behind the European ones. There are two main reasons ��� the lack of high-quality raw materials and the lack of production capacities for its deep processing.

EMBO Mol Med (2016) 8: 77–79[OpenUrl][1][FREE Full Text][2] I had left New York a few days earlier—Halloween 1990—to start my new research group at the ICRF Clare Hall laboratories. It was Guy Fawkes Night at Clare Hall, which is located in the rural village of South Mimms just north of London. Guy Fawkes was a 17th century religious zealot who tried unsuccessfully to blow up the Houses of Parliament; he was captured, tortured, and executed, events which are celebrated in Britain every November 5th with fireworks and bonfires. I was standing in a soggy field, feet soaking wet and freezing in the drizzling rain, eating a cold sausage, and watching my new colleagues burn an effigy of our laboratory manager, Frank Fitzjohn, on the bonfire. I had clearly arrived in a foreign land! At the time of my hiring, I was given the choice of the Clare Hall laboratories or the Lincoln's Inn Fields laboratories in central London. With LIF's reputation for cutting‐edge cancer research, and having lived in another big city, New York, for most of my life, friends and colleagues had expected me to choose LIF. Clare Hall was not yet the internationally recognised powerhouse of genome stability research it later became, but it was clear to me that I had found a home amongst a group of outstanding young biochemists including Rick Wood and Steve West. Soon Tim Hunt, Julian Blow, and Noel Lowndes joined the faculty, generating a vibrant atmosphere for cell cycle research. And, under the direction of Tomas Lindahl, the future of Clare Hall seemed very bright. I had come to Clare Hall straight from a postdoc in Bruce Stillman's laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor. When I first arrived in Bruce's laboratory, he had just embarked on a major project to dissect cell … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DEMBO%2BMol%2BMed%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.15252%252Femmm.201505965%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F26787652%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/ijlink?linkType=FULL&journalCode=embomm&resid=8/2/77&atom=%2Fembomm%2F8%2F2%2F77.atom

Los estudios de la izquierda se convirtieron en una rama específica de la historia del siglo XX. En la URSS, esta problemática implícitamente académica siempre tuvo rasgos y contenidos políticos impuestos por la ideología y la línea política imperante del partido único del gobierno, el Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética, que desde las épocas de la Internacional Comunista pretendió ser el timonel de todo el movimiento comunista internacional y arbitro para otros movimientos de la izquierda. Para efectuar esta tarea en la URSS existieron instituciones académicas cuyo objetivo era suministrar el estudio y la elaboración de las recomendaciones sobre los puntos problemáticos de la política, y al mismo tiempo cumplir el papel propagandístico de la ideología dominante. Sin embargo, dentro de este sistema ideológico rígido, en el ámbito académico-universitario surgieron ideas y conceptos heterodoxos que fueron como una fogata viva del pensamiento marxista en un país esterilizado ideológicamente. Este texto trata de recuperar el pensamiento soviético en la esfera de los estudios académicos de la izquierda latinoamericana.

This article presents results of research carried out in 2018 that aimed to determine the opinions of Bieszczady mountain guides on the scope of development of tourism and recreational infrastructure in the Bieszczady forests, Poland. The online survey included questions regarding nature protection in the Bieszczady region, factors limiting opportunities for tourism and recreation development in the Bieszczady forests, and the needs regarding new elements of tourism and recreation management of the area. Our research results indicate that the greatest impediments to the recreational use of the forest result from temporary restrictions on forest access, which are related to hunting or forest-management works. Most the interviewed guides were against further development of the tourist and recreational infrastructure in the Bieszczady forests. They were also in favor of extending the nature protection area in Bieszczady. Statistical analyses using the Kruskal&ndash, Wallis test showed that persons who are against, in favor of and neutral on extending the nature protection area in the Bieszczady forests varied significantly in their views on issues such as hunting or restrictions on forest access related to forest-management works. Compared to the other respondents, the supporters of extending the range of protected areas were more frequently against designating new recreation spaces or bonfire places in the Bieszczady forests.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a transformative medium for storytelling where we can place you, the audience, directly inside the story and make you matter. We do this by giving you a role to play and empowering you to interact and build relationships with characters in the story. We present our experiments and learning in authoring interactive VR narratives across our two most recent projects: Baba Yaga and Bonfire. We showcase our Storyteller toolset for creating non-linear stories where interactivity is immersive. We then provide insights into creating emotive characters with the same quality character performances as in our hand-crafted linear animations.

Halloween has ancient roots in Greece and Rome, where festivals honored and placated the spirits of the dead. Christianity developed its own holidays dealing with dead spirits: All Saints’ Day, All Hallows Eve, and All Souls’ Day. Celtic peoples celebrated Samhain at this time, which marked the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. They held an evening bonfire as well as a feast, both of which were transformational, regenerating people through interaction with mythical beings from the Otherworld thought to be active at that liminal time. The chapter explains how pagan and Christian traditions merged into Halloween. Finally, the chapter shows how the mythology underlying Halloween can help us celebrate the holiday in a way that can be transformational.

This chapter first discusses how the transition into summer was symbolized by myths in which a figure representing summer and the sun defeated a figure representing winter, which battle was reenacted in May Day celebrations. The chapter then covers May Day eve bonfire rituals (cf. Beltane), which cleansed the land and livestock for summer. This was also a liminal time when the veils between the worlds were thin and threatening supernatural beings were active, so rituals were held to appease them. The chapter then discusses the later Maypole ritual, as well as the May Queen as a later variation on goddesses associated with summer and fertility. The chapter finally shows how the pagan rituals were revived in the Catholic “Crowning of Mary” May Day ritual.

The present study quantifies the personal exposure to air pollutants (i.e., PM2.5, PM10, CO2, and CO) and its bound chemical constituents during bonfire activities occurring in rural area of Gujarat, India. The study was performed during the late 2017 and early 2018 winter season, when bonfires are a very common practice. Three major sites, viz., University Reception Area (URA), Workshop Area (WSA), and Hostel Wing-A (HWA) were delineated to reveal discrete patches of personal exposure. Particulate matters, gaseous pollutants, and associated ionic constitutes were analyzed by an air quality monitor and ion chromatography. The concentration profile of PM2.5, PM10, and CO were found in the range between 81–206, 188–282, and 2.8–5.8 µgm−3, respectively, at the study area which are more than the permissible limit. The major ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+ Mg2+, NH4+, Cl−, Br−, NO2−, NO3−, PO42−, and SO42− were obtained on particulate matter. Based on this observation it is concluded that if personal exposure to these pollutants increases, then metabolic activities may change and lead to severe diseases, viz., asthma, rhinitis, tuberculosis. It is a grave concern for the WHO to improve the human health and eradicate the communal diseases under sustainable development goals. Henceforth, it is mandatory to understand the variations of air pollutants at workplace and the associated exposure to individuals.

On November 18, 1999, Texas A&M University (TAMU) experienced profound tragedy when the famed Aggie Bonfire collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring 27 others. This essay examines the rhetorical dynamics of the TAMU Bonfire Memorial and explores how it navigates the tension created when a constitutive symbol is implicated in a moment of tragedy. Specifically, we use this case to explore how memorials help shape perceptions of victim agency in commemorative form. As we argue, the memorial taps into resonant modes of public reasoning—including temporal metaphors, Christian theology, and campus tradition—to imply the tragic outcome of the 1999 collapse had cause beyond human or institutional control. Our analysis of the Bonfire Memorial illustrates the importance of commemorative agency and, in particular, how eliding victim agency can limit epideictic encounters that might foster a sense of present and future engagement on unreconciled issues.

Abstract: In the event of a fire, the TPRD (Thermally activated Pressure Relief Device) prevents the high-pressure full composite cylinder from bursting by detecting high temperatures and releasing the pressurized gas. The current safety performance of both the vessel and the TPRD is demonstrated by an engulfing bonfire test. However, there is no requirement concerning the effect of the TPRD release, which may produce a hazardous hydrogen flame due to the high flow-rate of the TPRD. It is necessary to understand better the behavior of an unprotected composite cylinder exposed to fire in order to design appropriate protection for it and to be able to reduce the length of any potential hydrogen flame. For that purpose, a test campaign was performed on a 36 L cylinder with a design pressure of 70 MPa. The time from fire exposure to the bursting of this cylinder (the burst delay) was measured. The influence of the fire type (partial or global) and the influence of the pressure in the cylinder during the exposure were studied. It was found that the TPRD orifice diameter should be significantly reduced compared to current practice. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The woods environment is basic for providing common assets to the greenery. The woods is an indispensable safe-haven, albeit at present it is presented to illicit logging by insatiable individuals, and this has altogether influenced the woodland. Because of this criminal behavior, unfortunate wonder has surfaced. Consequently, the system of this exploration is worried about building up a far off observing gadget that could catch basic ongoing information, for example, temperature, moistness, vaporous substance, and bonfire and downpour location, which could show the recent and the safeguarded characteristic state and environment in the woods. The model was actualized at chosen areas to screen and assemble information at two stages. The results from this exploration will be utilized in the advancement of a progression of games as instructing helps that can make mindful our group of people yet to come about the consumption and its effect upon the earth.
