Abstract:
Concrete canvas reinforced with spacer fabric has increasingly gained popularity due to its lightweight, great flexibility, high strength and low contamination compared to ordinary concrete. In order to fully explore the structure and performance of this novel composite, this review illustrates how to design high-performance concrete canvas and presents a summary of recent application status of it. Firstly, the structure and properties of knitted and woven spacer fabric and concrete material that comprise concrete canvas is introduced. Secondly, internal and external mechanisms affecting the properties of concrete canvas have been described. To illustrate how to evaluate and test the mechanical behavior of concrete canvas, typical mechanical experiments such as tensile and flexural experiment and failure mechanisms are explained. In terms of the characteristics of concrete canvas, the present article reviews current applications of it in disaster relief tent, slope protection, ditch lining and furniture design areas. Nevertheless, its practical applications are still in the preliminary stage, it is of great necessity to expand its application from the point of view of replacing traditional materials, changing structural design, external reinforcement and perfecting performance evaluation system.

Abstract:
The article presents current problems of irrigation canals. We list research methods while specifying the methods and work processes used. We have schematically depicted and theoretically described the necessary operations for the construction, reconstruction and repair of irrigation canals. Additionally, we have substantiated the economic losses arising from using concrete facing materials, and proposed modern facing materials designed to solve the main issues of irrigation canals. The article demonstrates the results of work on laying concrete canvas and geosynthetic materials. We have described and clearly classified the proposed facing materials and systemically listed advantages and disadvantages of modern facing materials compared to standard concrete canvas. On the basis of the study, the technological intensification of melioration was presented by reducing the construction and maintenance load on irrigation canals. We have theoretically and visibly demonstrated the efficiency of proposed materials and mathematically proven the intensification of melioration by reducing the maintenance load on irrigation canals. The findings indicate that the use of the proposed materials should increase the performance of irrigation grids, as well as reduce the maintenance load on them.

Abstract:
Statement of the problem. Composite materials based on mineral components and organic and mineral systems are gradually expanding their presence in the domestic market of materials and building techno-logies. Concrete fabric, as one of the varieties of textile-concrete, can be considered as a composite material whose properties depend both on those of polymeric materials that form its enclosing surfaces and those of the core material, and on the nature of the interaction between the facing and core materials. The purpose of the research presented in the article is to evaluate the main strength characteristics of the concrete canvas, as well as to study the effect of the content of Portland cement, plasticizer and modifying additive on the properties of fine-grained concrete as the basis of the concrete canvas, as well as to evaluate the possible areas of application of the concrete canvas with the obtained properties. Results. In the process of processing the results of the experiment and analytical optimization of the response functions, the fundamentals of the methodology for selecting the composition of modified fine-grained concrete as the basis of the concrete canvas were developed. As a result of the tests, the following characteristics of the material were established: average density ––1450––1500 kg/m3; compressive strength –– not less than 36––38 MPa, puncture strength –– not less than 3 kN; ultimate strength in ben-ding 16––20 MPa. Conclusions. Despite the fact that the thickness of the concrete canvas in the hardened state does not exceed 10 mm, its properties are not inferior to those of other types of textile concrete, i.e., they have high strength characteristics with a relatively small thickness. The most promising areas of application of the concrete canvas are the repair and waterproofing of reinforced concrete structures of hydraulic structures, and the strengthening of slopes.

Abstract:
A series of shaking table tests were conducted on reinforced slopes to study the slope dynamic characteristics. The influence of concrete-canvas tilt degrees on the seismic response was studied. By considering the effects of different concrete-canvas tilt degrees, the seismic responses of the reinforced slopes were analyzed, along with the accelerations, crest settlements, and horizontal displacements. The failure patterns of different model slopes were compared using white coral sand marks placed at designated elevations to monitor the internal slide of the reinforced slopes. Several round markers were placed on the slope surface to compare the deformation before and after shaking with different amplitudes. The results indicated that with the increase in concrete-canvas tilt degrees, a better reinforcing effect was obtained, and 30° reinforcement reached a threshold level, the slide-out point shifts from the crest of the slope to the middle of the reinforced model. The bottom 2/7th zone of the slope was relatively stable during the earthquake and the reinforcement was ineffective at the bottom of the slope. When both considered the influence of reinforcing effect and construction difficulty, 20° is the suitable tilt degree in concrete-canvas reinforced slopes. The characteristics of increasing strength of the concrete canvas make it suitable for the application in slope protection.

Abstract:
Purpose. Justification of the feasibility of using new types of drainage materials, such as Concrete Canvas (CC), under the upper structure of the railway permanent way. Methodology. The tasks were solved by a complex research method, including analysis and generalization of literary and patent sources, analytical, experimental studies, using computer and mathematical modeling methods. Tests were conducted with and without the CC layer in a multi-level shear box. After the shear test, the specimens were also tested for load-bearing capa­city (E2, according to the Hungarian standard) and particle breakage. The contact surface between the bottom of the ballast and the CC was measured using a precision 3D laser scanner (GOM ATOS) and visualized graphically using AutoCAD software. Findings. Experimental testing of the vertical load during connection and analysis compared with the test results of geocomposite/geogrid structures, internal shear resistance, and other parameters proved the structure’s higher load-bearing capacity with the CC layer. Based on the results, the Concrete Canvas structure provides higher reinforcement than the average geogrid type. Originality. The advantages of using new Concrete Canvas materials in the structure of a railway track have been demonstrated for the first time to provide greater internal shear resistance than the average for geogrids. Practical value. These results may provide primary data for using Concrete Canvas in railway tracks and superstructures in the future.

Abstract:
Постановка задачи. Композитные материалы на основе минеральных компонентов и органоминеральных систем постепенно расширяют свое присутствие на отечественном рынке материалов и строительных технологий. Бетонное полотно как одна из разновидностей текстиль-бетона может рассматриваться в качестве композиционного материала, свойства которого зависят как от свойств полимерных материалов, формирующих его ограждающие поверхности, и свойств материала сердечника, так и от характера взаимодействия материалов обкладки и сердечника. Целью исследований, изложенных в статье, является оценка основных прочностных характеристик бетонного полотна, а также изучение влияния содержания портландцемента, пластификатора и модифицирующей добавки на свойства мелкозернистого бетона как основы бетонного полотна, а также оценка возможных областей применения бетонного полотна с полученными свойствами. Результаты. В процессе обработки результатов эксперимента и аналитической оптимизации функций отклика разработаны основы методологии подбора состава модифицированного мелкозернистого бетона как основы бетонного полотна. В результате проведения испытаний установлены следующие характеристики материала: средняя плотность — 1450…1500 кг/м3; прочность при сжатии не менее 36…38 МПа, прочность на прокол — не менее 3 кН; предел прочности при изгибе 16…20 МПа. Выводы. Несмотря на то, что толщина бетонного полотна в затвердевшем состоянии не превышает 10 мм, его свойства не уступают свойствам других видов текстиль-бетонов, то есть обладают высокими прочностными характеристиками при относительно малой толщине. Наиболее перспективными областями применения бетонного полотна являются ремонт и гидроизоляция железобетонных конструкций гидротехнических сооружений, а также укрепление склонов.

Abstract:
Purpose. To prove that the GCCM (geosynthetic cementitious composite mat) – type Concrete Canvas (CC) – is an adequate supplementary layer on the top of the subgrade. As its drainage function is known, this article tries to prove the reinforcement possibility. This layer is relatively thin; nevertheless, it can behave like the geogrids. It is the main path to finding out the opportunity of the interlocking effect and its impact on the railway ballast’s inner shear resistance. Methodology. The laboratory measurements were performed in a multi-level shear box, which allows simulating the multi-level shift of the ballast layer. The tests were planned with and without the CC layer. After shearing, the samples were also tested for load-bearing capacity (E2; according to the Hungarian Standard) and particle breakage. On the other hand, the contact surface between the lowest part of the ballast and CC was also measured by a sophisticated 3D laser scanner (GOM ATOS) and graphically by AutoCAD software. Findings. After the results of the laboratory experiments are analyzed, the following parameters are calculated and determined: 1) the reinforcement ratio as the tangent of the inner shear resistance curves in the 5–15 mm horizontal shearing interval as well as the area under graphs by integration in the 0–40 mm interval; 2) the change in load-bearing capacity of the layer-structure with and without CC; 3) the amount of the cement particles; 4) the amount of the broken particles; 5) contact surface between the lowest layer of ballast and CC; 6) flatness of CC sheets after shearing. Based on the results, the Concrete Canvas provides significant reinforcement to the railway ballast. Originality. Any other type of measurement with Concrete Canvas in a multi-level shear box is unknown. The topic is unique. Practical value. In the future, these results may provide baseline data to verify the suitability of the Concrete Canvas in the railway sub- or superstructure for various types of transport.

Abstract:
To explore the crack behaviors of corroded concrete columns jointly reinforced by concrete canvas (CC) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), a total of six specimen sets with different reinforcement forms and corrosion rates are designed and tested by acoustic emission (AE) technology. The assessed methods are AE characteristic parameters, RA-AF values, b values, and AE event spatial location map. The results show that the presence of CC changes the failure morphology of the specimen and improves the uneven deformation of concrete in the core area, which proves that the jointly reinforced method exhibits high plasticity deformation ability. The crack mode of the jointly reinforced specimen undergoes multiple transformations between tensile cracks and shear cracks, before ending in the final crush failure. The fluctuations in both amplitude and frequency of the b values of the jointly reinforced specimens increase significantly with time. The crack activity of concrete is more intense in this period, which proves that the jointly reinforced method ensures a more complete failure. Moreover, the increases in corrosion rate reduced the probability of shear cracks in the core concrete and further increased the failure degree of the specimen. The present study demonstrated that AE monitoring can effectively capture the characteristics of the cracking process of jointly reinforced concrete.

Abstract:
The current paper concerns the investigation of CC (Concrete Canvas), a unique building material from the GCCM (geosynthetic cementitious composite mat) product group. The material is suitable for trench lining, trench paving, or even military construction activities, while the authors’ purpose is to investigate the application of the material to road and railway substructure improvement. This research was carried out to verify the material’s suitability for transport infrastructure and its beneficial effects. The authors’ previous study reported that the primary measurements were puncture, compression, and the parameters evaluated in four-point bending (laboratory) tests. However, based on the results, finite element modeling was not feasible because the testing of the composite material in a single layer did not provide an accurate indication. For this reason, the material characteristics required for modeling were investigated. A unique, novel testing procedure and assembly were performed, wherein the material was loaded under quasi-realistic conditions with a crushed stone ballast sample and other continuous particle size distribution samples in a closed polyethylene tube. In addition, the deformation of the material following deformed bonding was measured by computed tomography scanning, and the results were evaluated.

Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping has become an attractive strengthening technique for concrete columns. However, the ingress of corrosion into the concrete through the gap of CFRP fiber greatly reduces the durability of concrete and the bearing capacity of specimens. Concrete canvas, a kind of corrosion-resistant and refractory material, is a promising method to enhance durability and carrying capacity. In this study, the concrete canvas (CC) and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) were used to jointly reinforce columns with square cross section, octagonal cross section, circular cross section, and elliptical cross section. The influence of section shape on the strengthening effect of the axial compression column was investigated by the axial compression test. The results showed that the section shape had a significant influence on the reinforcement effect of the axial compression column. The carrying load capacity and ductility coefficient of different columns follow this order: square column < oval-shaped columns < octagonal columns < circle columns. The increased amplitude of bearing capacity for the different columns with the increase of CC layers follows this order: square columns < oval-shaped columns < circle column < octagonal columns. Compared with the unconstraint columns, the bearing capacity of adopting two-layer CC columns increased by 129%, 155%, 150%, and 139% for the square, octagonal, circular, and elliptical columns, respectively. The octagonal column has the largest increase range. Compared with the unconstraint columns, the bearing capacity of adopting two-layer CC columns increased by 348%, 318%, 310%, and 296% for the square, octagonal, elliptical, and circular columns, respectively. The square column has the largest increase range. The stress concentration phenomenon of all section shapes was weakened after the CC was used. The application of the CC on CFRP-reinforced columns improves column ductility significantly, with some degree of increase in bearing capacity.

Abstract:
During the construction of bridges, special attention is paid to geometric parameters, one of the most important parameters of the rideable bed is the evenness of the bases and coatings. Geodetic works provide an integrated approach to solving the problem of controlling the flatness of the base layers, which includes: geodetic survey of the rideable canvas, verification of working documentation, control of the copying string, geometric control of the evenness of the laid asphalt concrete floor slab for the steel concrete span and bridge deck for a metal span structure. Various options for controlling the height position of a copier string and a laid asphalt concrete pavement (using trigonometric and geometric leveling) were reviewed and tested. A priori assessment of the accuracy of the measurement results for each of the methods for monitoring algebraic difference of elevations (amplitudes) was previously performed. The article proposes a combined approach to geodetic control at all stages of work on checking the evenness of the asphalt concrete pavement.

Abstract:
Nowadays, many companies are running digitalization initiatives or are planning to do so. There exist various models to evaluate the digitalization potential of a company and to define the maturity level of a company in exploiting digitalization technologies summarized under buzzwords such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). While platforms, protocols, patterns, technical implementations, and standards are in place to adopt these technologies, small- to medium-sized enterprises (SME) still struggle with digitalization. This is because it is hard to identify the most beneficial projects with manageable cost, limited resources and restricted know-how. In the present paper, we describe a real-life project where digitalization use cases have been identified, evaluated, and prioritized with respect to benefits and costs. This effort led to a portfolio of projects, some with quick and easy wins and some others with mid- to long-term benefits. From our experiences, we extracted a general approach that could be useful for other SMEs to identify concrete digitalization activities and to define projects implementing their digital transformation. The results are summarized in a Digitalization Canvas.

Abstract:
Concrete Canvas (CC) is a 3D spacer fabric-reinforced cement-based composite, prepared through filling cement-based composite powder into fabric via the porous surface of 3D spacer fabric. When hardened by water, CC forms a water-proof, fire-resistant, and durable concrete layer with outstanding mechanical properties. So far, CC has been applied in inflatable tents, slope protection, structure reinforcement and repair, ditch lining, and other engineering projects, as well as furniture and artwork design. Existing studies on CC primarily focus on the modification and optimization of its component materials, and CC reinforcement using externally bonded FRP and aluminum flakes. CC has a broad application and an enormous application potential in emergency engineering, such as the protection of emergency tents and shelters, emergency repair and construction of airport pavement and positional projects; however, it is necessary to improve the compressive strength, flexural strength, wear resistance, anti-penetration performance, and base course bond performance of CC. To that end, research from the perspectives of modifying CC component materials, reinforcement of CC by externally bonded FRP, the improvement of the anchorage method, and the optimization of anchoring primers can be carried out.

Abstract:
To investigate the effects of concrete canvas (CC) and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) reinforcement on the mechanical properties of corroded reinforced concrete columns (compressive strength, flexure strength, strength of extension, and so on), 42 columns in four groups were designed and axial compression experiments were carried out. For the corroded reinforced concrete columns reinforced with CC and CFRP, the effects of initial corrosion rate (5%, 10%), secondary corrosion time (15 d, 30 d), number of CC layers (0, 1), and number of CFRP layers (1, 2, 3) on the failure morphology, load carrying capacity, and ductility of concrete columns were analyzed. The test results show that the properties of the single layer CC confined specimens are improved to a certain extent, and the ductility properties are enhanced. The properties of the CC–CFRP composite constrained specimens are greatly improved, the plastic deformation ability is enhanced, and the typical ductile damage characteristics are shown. The corrosion inhibition of CC for specimens with a theoretical corrosion rate lower than 20% showed an increasing trend, and the corrosion inhibition rate ranged from 23.0% to 31.2%. CC and CFRP restrain the concrete jointly, hindering the expansion inside the concrete, and the peak strain of the joint restraint specimen itself changes greatly, while the overall peak strain of the corrosion specimen is very small under the action of the joint steel bar. Finally, according to the existing peak stress–strain model and the experimental data in this paper, a peak stress–strain model suitable for corroded reinforced concrete columns is established. The established calculation model has a high accuracy, which provides a certain theoretical basis for subsequent research.

Abstract:
Cellular concrete, such as gas silicate or foam concrete, has good thermal performance and is widely used in modern construction. Possessing acceptable parameters for compression, cellular concrete has low tensile and shear characteristics. This leads to the appearance of cracks in building structures made of cellular concrete, such as partitions, interior walls, etc. Therefore, solving the problems of increasing the bearing capacity of cellular concrete is important and relevant. The purpose of this study is to study the increase in the bearing capacity of cellular concrete reinforced with composite materials under the action of temperature and bending moments. The problem is solved by the finite element method and analytical methods. As a result of the work carried out, the characteristics of wall panels reinforced with composite rods were obtained under the action of temperature and bending moments in structure. Composite materials in the form of canvases are widely used to enhance the bearing capacity of aged reinforced concrete structures or those that have received defects due to man-made impacts. Consideration of methods for determining the given characteristics of a multilayer composite canvas is necessary for conducting a study of the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures reinforced with composite canvases or canvases. In this paper, methods are presented for determining the given characteristics of multilayer composite canvases and panels with different arrangements of the base layers. The analysis of the obtained results showed that reinforcement of the composite materials can significantly increase the tensile strength and shear of the gas silicate of the building.

One of the important characteristics for students studying fine art teaching is to be able to understand the environment and depict it on canvas. Portrait, which is a genre (type) of fine art, performs quite deep and complex tasks. The work does not end here with the similarity of a person’s external appearance. Here, the inner world of a person, the state of his soul, is in the foreground. Therefore, any image cannot be called a portrait. A portrait is an artistic image of a person. In the portrait, only and only the external features, psychology, and moral character belonging to him should be reflected in a concrete personality.

Abstract:
The paper shows the effective utilization of non-degradable waste material like the hair of humans, Expanded Polystyrene Spheres (EPS), and rice husk fly ash to a final product Fiber-reinforced concrete panel. Concrete fracture, catastrophic failure, spalling of concrete and non-quake resistance, with the application of a load are major problems of the current scenario in the concrete world (Mindess, 2009). This paper tries to solve this type of problem by using the natural fibers and some additives which are under patient right. The researcher of this paper has developed a prefab panel which may be the substitute product of brick, ACC block, interlocking block, EPS panel, and local prefab panel. The utilization of industrial waste to usable products for construction is a major challenge that the researcher has taken. The paper shows that product can be made economical and able to reduce environmental challenges. Ingredients like human hair, EPS, chemical agent, cement, fly ash, water, and fiberboard are utilized in a certain time and fixed condition to complete the formation of the Fiber-reinforced concrete panel. The panel was found to have multi-function like a light in weight, fireproof, and flexibility which was its main USP (Unique Selling Point). The researcher thinks this product might change the perception of Nepalese customer, who thinks prefab as a costly and less strength product. Nepal political instability and dependent culture on foreign country shows an impossible possibility to use an artificial fiber and imported fly ash (ITC, 2017). This paper also presents the Nepalese market perception through the business model canvas, a business strategy that can be taken, hindrance, and the possibility to use human hair fiber, fly ash and recycled EPS to complete finished goods.

Abstract:
Statistics of road accidents show that even in the summer the number of accidents directly depends on weather conditions, and one such reason is aquaplaning in some parts of the road. Therefore, solving the issue of improving the road structure in such areas, while maintaining the regulatory strength, equality and coefficient of adhesion are relevant in road construction. The research allowed developing an improved mixture of porous asphalt mixture taking into account the physical-mechanical and operational properties. The construction of the road surface was also improved with the separation of the pavement layers, where porous asphalt mixture was used as the top layer, and the basalt canvas (impregnated) between the used construction levels was used. The mathematical calculation of the road was improved taking into account the physical phenomena occurring between the car and the road surface in the presence of water. The speed limits were calculated, and the thickness of the fluid layer was taken into account as well. The authors of the article also paid attention to the influence of road roughness on the speed limit.

Business models can be a perfect tool to meet the challenges in highlighting the competitiveness and sustainability potential of bio-based solutions, and facilitating primary producers to benefit from the opportunities offered by bioeconomy. In this work six concrete bio-based good practices that have succeeded in progressing from early ideas to products on the market were analysed. These examples pose new insights that can be used by a wide range of experts and stakeholders for the analysis of benefits and challenges of value chains in the bio-based economy sectors. It is concluded that the traditional Business Model Canvas needs to be extended with additional factors related to sustainability and business ecosystem. In order to establish a practical framework promoting economic viability of bio-based business cases, the importance is highlighted for adjusting the exclusive focus on Technology Readiness Levels by introducing levels reflecting business or market readiness.

Abstract:
Physics is an important part of the science curriculum at both the high school and college levels. Physics learning requires students to master abstract theoretical concepts, so it is not uncommon for these theoretical concepts to be difficult for learners to perceive. Abstract concepts in physics learning can be overcome through practical activities in concrete laboratories or virtual laboratories. This study aims to produce virtual laboratory media based on HTML 5 Canvas and Javascript programs packaged in Graphical User Interface (GUI) format in terms of experts, practicioners, and students. The research method used is research and development (R&amp;D), using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The subjects were conducted in second-years physic students which consisted of 8 students (small group test) and in class XI high school students which consisted of 20 students (large group test). The instrument used were interview sheets, documentation, and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that virtual laboratory media was valid with a CVI score of 0,87 and reliable with a Percentage of Agreement score of 85,95% based on experts and practitioners judgment. In addition, based on the results of the practicality test for students, the test results were in the very practical category with a practicality score of 86,4% and 88,6% respectively for small group test and large group test. So it can be concluded that virtual laboratory media can be used to support physic learning.

Abstract:
This essay offers some preliminary and general considerations of big picture historiography of science, attempting an introductory specification of the topic by means of narratological analysis. It takes no strong, substantive position either pro or contra big pictures themselves, preferring an approach which is more diagnostic and heuristic in nature. After considering what may be meant by a term such as ‘big picture’ and its cognates, it interrogates the kind of desire which could lie behind the wish expressed by the conference title ‘Getting the Big Picture’: namely, that a big picture may be worth getting. It proceeds by way of a limited enquiry into what seems to be felt as a relative absence of big picture works in contemporary historiography, criticizing one very general historicocultural thesis which accounts for such an absence, advancing instead evolving features of the professional history of science community over the last thirty years as reasons for this relative absence. Concludingly, it turns the issues raised thus far on their head, in some measure at least. In trying for a more precise specification of the contemporary historiographical formation, we will discover eventually a situation not so much of relative absence of big pictures, rather one where there exists both frame and title for the picture, together with some distinguished painters' names; but where the canvas is only minimally marked, a partial and shadowy sketch, stylistically disjoined. Although this sounds paradoxical, a concrete paradox is not intended. The existence of frame and title enclosing mainly empty canvas indicates only the limitations of the pictorial metaphor for describing complex and developing sets of historiographical practice. What is instanced concludingly is less a theoretical paradox than an intelligible sequence and form of development which issues in a potential problem of practice.

Abstract:
In their explorations of narrative, many narratologists distinguish between the narrated (the situations and events presented), the narrating (the way these situations and events are presented), and the concrete manifestation of narrated and narrating in a particular medium (linguistic, say, pictorial, balletic) or a particular form thereof (English or French, film or painting, classical or modern). By and large, narratologists focus on the narrated and the narrating rather than on the medium of manifestation. Still, they are not unaware of, nor insensitive to, the effects that specific means of expression can have on narratives and, more particularly, on their transpositions (from prose to canvas, from stage to screen) or on their translations (from English to French, for instance, and vice versa). Taking as examples a variety of fictional texts by Stendhal, George Eliot, Anne Garréta, Ernest Hemingway, and others, the article discusses some of the effects that translation’s inevitable nonequivalences, variances, or paraphrases have on narrating and narrated features. More specifically, it uses translation to revisit these features, to reconsider their basicness, centrality or indispensability, and to reassess the narratological models they bring about.

Abstract:
The paper discusses two plays of Tom Stoppard, After Magritte and Artist Descending a Staircase, from the perspective of the uncertainty pertaining to the possibility of perceiving and adequately describing the reality. The plays employ intertextual references to two modern painters whose names are included in the titles of the dramas and who are known to have experimented in their artistic ventures. In two series of pictures, The Key of Dreams and The Use of Words, Ma-gritte dealt with the difficulties connected with representing reality in pictorial and linguistic terms, while Beauchamp tried to present not only three dimensionality but also movement on the two dimensional canvas. Apart from referring to art, Stoppard’s pieces are also a kind of who-done-it, with each of them trying to solve a mystery. After Magritte discloses the solution of the identity of the strange figure the characters saw in the street and also logically explains the strange opening and closing stage images. Being a radio play, Artist Descend-ing a Staircase, teaches the audience to decode aural signals and demonstrates that, similar to objects of visual perception, they may be decoded in different ways. The two dramas discussed thus deal with the relative quality of reality, whose perception and description depends on individual sensitivity of a concrete person.

Abstract:
Abstract The operation of a toll road typically involves an economic activity for which State aid rules apply. However, if the construction and operation of the road infrastructure is bundled and they are tendered out together, they usually fall outside the State aid regime. The reason for it lies in the fact that the use of competitive procurement procedures aim to increase the efficiency of public expenditure and to ensure a level playing field for private operators to compete for public contracts. Nevertheless, based on the European Commission’s decisional practice, it transpires that an economic advantage for a concession holder cannot be ruled out automatically, in particular when there are amendments made to the original agreement. On the example of the Autostrada Wielkopolska S.A. case, critical State aid issues are discussed, among others, the application of State aid rules to public financing of infrastructure, the amendments made to a concession contract in the light of the risk assignment problem, as well as the existence of State aid in the form of overcompensation for a concession holder. The considerations are carried out on the canvas of a concrete case; however, they are enriched by the analysis of relevant legal provisions as well as conclusions from the EU courts and the European Commission decisions made in similar cases.

Abstract:
The discourse of the speculative in African literature is a growing area of interest in postcolonial studies. Whilst extant literatures have interrogated a good number of African speculative fictions to examine their conventions, styles, and presentations of the speculative in such narratives, critical attention has not been given to a comparative mode that examines inventions, re-inventions and applications of varying strands of imagination stemming from within the spectra of myths and science fiction, and this is what this study attempts to unpack. In the study, the works of two writers of Nigerian descent, Amos Tutuola and Nnedi Okorafor, and their unique applications of the hues of virtual, visual, and concrete imaginaries on the canvas of speculative expressiveness, are our focus. Drawing insights from the theory of speculative fiction, the study analyzes comparative and textual modes, the speculative tenors in Amos Tutola’s The Palm-Wine Drinkard (1946), My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1954) and in Nnedi Okorafor’s Who Fears Death (2010) and Lagoon (2014), randomly selecting excerpts from different segments of the novels which constitute the data. The data are then subjected to critical analysis through thematic codes to unpack how the speculative are brought to the fore through intertextuality, and how the writers relate in influence, conviction, individual style, context and application of different depths of verisimilitude.

Full text
Abstract:
With the official opening of Yonge-Dundas Square last spring, the Toronto theatre and music communities gained a new outdoor performance venue, and the discount ticket seller TO TIX, a permanent home. The space itself is a curious addition to Toronto’s inner-city landscape. It’s a great, big, blank canvas of granite slabs, with a few concrete benches, a skinny canopy structure that is reminiscent of the Gardiner Expressway, and a double row of fountains that light up as the sky darkens. Surrounded as it is by concrete buildings and the honks and exhaust from a steady stream of cars, one might have hoped for a little green space. But one cannot argue that the square seems out of place; the design is urban grey and it blends visually into the urban grey that surrounds it. The granite slabs that line its surface are graphically reminiscent of the outdoor plazas of nearby skyscrapers, and the vertical lines of the pillars rhyme with the varying heights of the surrounding buildings. The square is formally compatible with its surroundings; the question is how well it will function under the hybrid identity assigned to it by the city. The city is marketing Yonge-Dundas Square as a public space, while at the same time encouraging it as a venue for private rental. Introducing twenty-four-hour surveillance, rental fees, and a plethora of advertising billboards charges the space with a political dimension and puts in doubt the idea that this is simply a new gathering space for public entertainments. Yonge-Dundas Square may at first appear as a genuine addition to Toronto’s public space, an exciting new performance venue to be shaped by citizen use, but it is also a commercial venture that aims to free itself from the city’s purse strings in three years’ time. Our role as active spectators obliges us to be conscious of the multiple, and sometimes conflicting, performative elements at play in this new venue.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Indonesia has taken a leadership role within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in drafting a common outlook on the Indo-Pacific concept. The widening of Indonesia's geostrategic canvas from the Asia–Pacific to the Indo-Pacific is in line with President Joko Widodo's intent to make Indonesia a Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF). In view of the rivalry between the US and China and the emergence of various Indo-Pacific initiatives from other countries, Indonesia believes that ASEAN must try to maintain its centrality. The draft of Indonesia's perspective for an ASEAN outlook on the Indo-Pacific: towards a peaceful, prosperous, and inclusive region was submitted for considerations by ASEAN, and after 18 months of intensive lobbying by Indonesia the concept was finally adopted at the ASEAN Summit in June 2019. The ASEAN outlook promotes the principles of openness, inclusiveness, transparency, respect for international law and ASEAN centrality in the Indo-Pacific region. It proposes a building-block approach, seeking commonalities between existing regional initiatives in which ASEAN-led mechanisms will act as a fulcrum for both norm-setting and concrete cooperation. Rather than creating a new regional architecture, the East Asia Summit (EAS) is proposed as the platform for advancing the Indo-Pacific discourse and cooperation. Indonesia's ASEAN outlook on the Indo-Pacific marks its renewed foreign policy activism as a middle power and underlines the continuing importance that Indonesia places on ASEAN as the cornerstone of its foreign policy, emphasising ASEAN's centrality as the primary vehicle for managing relations with the major powers in the Indo-Pacific region.

This creation is a form of adaptation of Buya Hamka's poetry which has aspects of character education as a culture of national values. This method of research is practice-led research that focuses on the scientific writing of the creation and reflection of new artworks through artistic research. The flow of the creation method uses the pre-image, image-abstract, and image-concrete stages by Hendriyana (2018) with the approach of Graham Wallas' (1926) creative process theory in his book The Art of Thought. The creative process involves four stages: preparation, incubation, illumination (inspiration stage), and verification (proof or testing stage). This research conducted the process of exploration and experimentation approach from empirical experience. The results of this research show the concept of animation creation in the form of designing works in the form of poetry animation and visualization using digital audio-visual techniques. This animation is conceptualized technically with the same title as the poetry “Biar Mati Badanku Kini". The target audience is children aged 12-15 years, which is equivalent to junior high school level. Therefore, this animation hopes to represent the poetry by Buya Hamka and become a way to convey education, messages, ideas, and feelings contained in it. This animation is done with a canvas layer size of 48x27 cm with a total of five scenes.

Design/methodology/approach The authors unpack the concept of hospitableness which entails an unconditional disposition and moral obligation in the host to care for their guest. This paper also exposes its moral dilemmas and the risks it presents to both host and guest – leading to the endorsement of reciprocal altruistic hospitableness which warrants altruistic sentiments and moral obligations in both parties as the necessary condition for a more protective, mutually beneficial and enduring host–guest relationship. Against the backdrop of the tourism and hospitality industry, this paper examines the challenges of transposing hospitableness to commercial settings without a wholesale erosion of its altruistic and moral core. It posits that what is needed is a reframing of TM as a dialogic process through which hospitableness can be effectively leveraged as a unique talent. Findings In carrying out this exercise, this paper develops a conceptual framework that brings the TM process under the overarching principle of free dialogue – which the authors see as a precondition for preserving the altruistic and moral core of hospitableness even when transposed to commercial settings. Practical implications The framework contains concrete guidelines on how to reframe TM as dialogic practice and can be used as a canvas for experimentation in managing the talent of hospitableness and for training purposes. Originality/value The paper expands the conceptual dimensions of hospitableness and deepens understanding of its application via the TM process to commercial settings.
