Abstract:

This paper reports a study examining preferred visual processes in recognition of facial features in older vs younger age groups, using Thatcherised images of famous and non-famous people in the one study. The aims were to determine whether decline in visual system processing occurs increasingly as we grow older, and whether there is less decline in recognition of famous (or familiar) faces. Three groups (younger, middle-old and older) made up the sample of 73 people (aged 19-82 years). Visual decline in face recognition across the age groups was assessed based on the Thatcher illusion—using four famous and four non-famous faces either with normal features or with distorted features. The faces were presented one at a time on computer screen, and participants were asked to judge whether the face was distorted (eyes and/or mouth not aligned in relation to the face); in addition, time taken to decision (latency) was also measured. Decline was found in visual processing such that older individuals gave limited attention to facial details (processing faces holistically, with detail errors) and they took longer to decide. Whether the faces were famous or not did not have significant effects on the decisions and there was no interaction with age, though famous faces were given longer attention. Our visual system processes decline as we age in that we give less attention to details and more to holistic processing and so make more errors in recognition. Implications for treatment or amelioration of the effects are discussed.

Abstract:

Modern scholarship on the Metamorphoses has frequently focused on the shifting character of the poem mainly produced by the constant variation in tone and diverse subject matter. Particular emphasis has fallen on the multiple stylistic features Ovid uses to appeal to a learned audience. This thesis focuses on and explores the use of personification ekphraseis which are illustrative examples of the poet's innovative technique, wit and style. Four major personified figures, Inuidia, Fames, Somnus and Fama play significant roles and figure prominently in the books where they appear. The study is divided into four main chapters where the four extended personification ekphraseis are individually treated. Each setting that Ovid creates for the figures bears its own corresponding reality. So their presence in the different episodes becomes both natural and amusing. Ovid displays a certain structural progression in the use of personification beginning with theriomorphic representations (Inuidia, Fames) and ending with more abstract descriptions (Somnus, Fama). The discussion also focuses on the various ways Ovid uses personification and offers close readings of thematic links and literary echoes. This study re-examines the aesthetics and narrative significance of the personification ekphraseis. It argues that, although connected to the rhetorical technique of enargeia and thus closely attached to the simple poetic intent of enlivening the style, the personifications have broader thematic implications which make them precious in the study of Ovid's ingenium. The initial question of how Ovid incorporates the four personifications in the narrative of each myth is developed into a broader investigation of their relevance in the world of the poem. The discussion leads to the conclusion that Inuidia, Fames, Somnus and Fama as poetic devices are both representative samples of stylistic ornamentation that enable the visual perception of what Ovid is describing and markers of generic boundaries between elegy and epic; the indiscriminate blending of epic and un-epic terminology creates a strong connection with the poet's aims stated in the opening lines of the Metamorphoses. In this sense, the four personification ekphraseis figure as reflections both of the poet and the poem.

Abstract:

La mémoire de reconnaissance visuelle (MRV) est atteinte précocement dans la maladie d'Alzheimer (MA). Or, elle reposerait sur deux processus: la familiarité (simple sentiment d'avoir déjà rencontré un item) et la recollection (récupération de détails associés à l'item lors de son encodage). Si la recollection est clairement atteinte au début de la MA, les résultats concernant la familiarité sont à ce jour contradictoires. Supposée plus rapide que la recollection, la familiarité devrait pouvoir être évaluée directement par une approche temporelle. Son atteinte dans la MA pourrait alors être mieux comprise. Pour tester ces hypthèses, la procédure comportementale SAB (Speed and Accuracy Boosting) a été créée. Permettant d'étudier les propriétés de la MRV (sa vitesse-limite, (Articles 1 et 2, ou sa nature "bottom-up", Article 3) ainsi que l'hypothèse que la familiarité serait plus rapide que la recollection, cette méthode s'est montrée évaluer majoritairement la familiarité (Article 1). Chez des patients à risque de MA, une dissociation inattendue au sein de la familiarité a alors pu être révélée, avec une atteinte des signaux tardifs de familiarité (utilisés lors d'un jugement classique), mais une préservation des premiers signaux (supportant la détection rapide évaluée en SAB) (Article 4). En outre, la segmentation manuelle d'images IRM du lobe temporal interne (premières régions cérébrales touchées dans la MA, et clés pour la MRV) a été appliquée à la problématique connexe de l'effet de l'âge au début de la MA (Article 5). Indépendamment, ces méthodes ont permis de mieux comprendre la MRV et son atteinte au début de la MA ; leur combinaison s'annonce très prometteuse.

Abstract:

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro<br>A velocidade do som é uma propriedade que vem sendo cada vez mais utilizada em diferentes áreas tecnológicas. Além disso, a velocidade do som é uma propriedade termodinâmica que está associada a outras propriedades do meio como a compressibilidade isentrópica e isotérmica, entre outras. Neste contexto, muitos estudos foram realizados a fim de obter modelos precisos que possam representar fielmente a velocidade do som, sendo observados desvios absolutos médios entre 0,13 e 24,8%. Neste trabalho, um banco de dados de velocidade do som e massa específica à pressão atmosférica de n-alcanos, alcanos ramificados, n-alcenos, aromáticos, alcoóis, éteres e ésteres, foram compilados da literatura aberta. Utilizando estes dados e baseando-se no modelo de Wada por contribuição de grupo recentemente proposto, foi desenvolvido um novo modelo por contribuição atômica para predizer a velocidade do som de todas as famílias dos compostos investigados neste trabalho. É mostrado que o modelo proposto é capaz de prever a velocidade do som para os compostos destas famílias com desvios próximos da incerteza experimental calculada a partir de diferentes dados da literatura. Este trabalho também discute o efeito da ramificação das cadeias na constante Wada, ressaltando a importância de novas medições para este tipo de compostos. Além disso, observou-se que a literatura necessita de mais dados experimentais de velocidade do som, à pressão atmosférica e diferentes temperaturas para substâncias puras presentes em biodiesel e bio-óleo de pirólise rápida. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho fornece novos dados experimentais de velocidade do som e massa específica de cinco ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos, também conhecidos como FAMEs, (caprilato de metila, caprato de metila, palmitato de metila, estearato de metila e linoleato de metila), e sete componentes puros presentes em bio-óleo de pirólise à pressão atmosférica, de vários fenóis (fenol, o-, m- e p-cresol), dois éteres fenólicos (2-metoxifenol e eugenol) e um éster fenólico (salicilato de metila), a temperaturas de (288,15-343,15) K. O modelo preditivo de Wada atômico foi utilizado para calcular a velocidade do som dos FAMEs estudados neste trabalho, e os desvios foram comparados com o modelo de Wada por contribuição de grupo. O modelo atômico de Wada foi utilizado para prever a velocidade do som dos componentes puros presentes no bio-óleo de pirólise rápida experimentalmente estudados nesta dissertação. Além disso, os dados de massa específica e velocidade de som foram correlacionados com o modelo de Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP). As propriedades foram bem representadas pelo modelo PFP, no entanto, para a velocidade do som o modelo apresenta desvios sistemáticos na dependência com a temperatura. O desempenho do modelo preditivo de Wada atômico foi considerado satisfatório, devido os desvios observados serem compatíveis ou até menores do que os desvios típicos obtidos na literatura com outros modelos correlativos para o cálculo da velocidade do som de outras substâncias<br>Speed of sound is a property that is being increasingly used in different technological areas. Furthermore, the speed of sound is a thermodynamic property which is associated with other properties of the medium, such as isentropic and isothermal compressibility, among others. In this context, many studies were carried out to obtain accurate models that can faithfully represent the speed of sound, with average absolute deviations between 0.13 and 24.8%. In this work a database of speed of sound and density at atmospheric pressure for n-alkanes, branched alkanes, n-alkenes, aromatics, alcohols, ethers and esters were collected from the open literature. Using these data a Wada group contribution model recently proposed was used as basis for the development of a new atomic contribution model to predict speed of sound for all families of compounds investigated in this work. It is shown that the proposed model is able to predict the speed of sound for compounds of these families with deviations close to the experimental reproducibility. This work also discusses the effect of branching on the Wadas constant, pointing out the importance of new measurements for this type of compounds. It was also observed that the literature needs more experimental data of speed of sound at atmospheric pressure and different temperature for pure compounds present in biodiesel and fast pyrolysis bio-oil. In this context, this work provides new experimental data of speed of sound and density for five Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, also know FAMEs, (Methyl Caprylate, Methyl Caprate, Methyl Palmitate, Methyl Stearate and Methyl Linoleate), and seven pure components of pyrolysis bio-oil at atmospheric pressure for several phenols (phenol, o-, m- and p-cresol), two phenolic ethers (2-methoxyphenol and eugenol) and one phenolic ester (methyl salicylate) at temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 343.15) K. The predictive atomic Wada model was used to calculate speed of sound of FAMEs studied in this work, and the deviations were compared with group contribution Wada model. An extension of atomic Wada model was used to predict the speed of sound of pure compounds of fast pyrolysis bio-oil experimentally studied in this thesis. Furthermore, data of densities and speed of sound are correlated with the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) model. The properties are well described by the PFP model, however the model presents a systematical deviation on the temperature dependency of the speed of sound. The performance of the predictive atomic Wada model was very satisfactory because its deviations are comparable to, or better than, those obtained in the literature with other models

Abstract:

Fuel deposits are carbon-rich high molecular weight species that are formed from the degradation of fuel. Diesel deposits may form on vital parts of a vehicle's engine or fuel system such as the fuel injectors. Once these deposits have formed, they can block the spray holes of the injector and may also cause moving parts within the injector to stick. Diesel deposits can cause engine failure, engine malfunction and affect engine performance. This study aims to investigate early stage deposits, formed in laboratory reactors, in particular a flow reactor. This was performed in order to gain insight into the processes by which these deposits form and what factors influence their formation. A flow reactor and closed sand bath reactor were employed to produce carbonaceous deposits, with the aim being that these might be similar to those formed in diesel injectors. The solid deposits were analysed using a Temperature Programmed Oxidation (TPO), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Soluble deposit precursors from the stressed fuels were assessed using ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and electrospray ionisation-mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) in order to provide further insight into the chemical processes preceding deposit formation. The test fuels stressed in this study were an EN 590 reference diesel and two fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES), viz. rapeseed methyl ester (RME100) and soya methyl ester (SME100). Binary blends of 80 % EN 590 diesel and 20 %RME (RME20), 80 % EN 590 diesel and 20 % SME(SME20), 50 % EN 590 diesel and 50 % SME (SME50) and 93 % EN 590 diesel and 7 % SME (SME7) (v/v) were also investigated. Aerated fuels were thermally stressed at 300°C and 400°C for 5h in the presence of oxygen in a continuous flow reactor. This study represents the first application of the flow reactor methodology to systems that contain fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs).

Abstract:

Milbrandt unpacks the call for action put forth by Twitter account @yesyoureracist, as well as the audience that emerges in consequence of that call. Her analysis evokes asymmetrical relations of visibility that appear to be normalised in Anglo-American contexts, among others. The notion that it is ‘merely a matter of time before anonymous faces are rendered identifiable’ suggests a surveillant imaginary (Lyon, 2018) about not only what can be achieved by vigilant audiences, but also the conditions in which this may be permissible.

Abstract:

The final chapter emphasizes that numismatics may be one of the oldest fields of humanistic inquiry, but it is still evolving in step with other, more modern disciplines. Researchers today want to know more about the non-elites of history, the nameless masses whose lives made possible the celebrated deeds of kings, queens, and emperors. Coins may seem particularly unsuited to this task since they are state-sponsored ego-facts bearing the names, faces, and boasts of the rich and famous. Cognitive numismatics, however, provides a new way of seeing in coins the common people—how they worked, what they thought, when they had a bad day. This approach brings the reader back to meme theory within the busy confines of an ancient mint. It completes the life cycle of a coin by examining its removal from circulation as an economic instrument, perhaps ending its journey as some other artifact of everyday experience.

Abstract:

In this chapter, a geometrical model to accurately describe the distribution of light points in diffraction patterns of quasicrystals is proposed. It is shown that the proposed system of parallel lines has axes of the fifth order and periodically repeating the fundamental domain of the quasicrystals. This fundamental domain is 4D-polytope, called the golden hyper-rhombohedron. It consists of eight rhombohedrons densely filling the 4D space. Faces of the hyper-rhombohedron are connected by the golden section; they can be scaled as needed. On this universal lattice of the vertices of the golden hyper-rhombohedrons, famous crystallographic lattices—Bravais, Delone, Voronoi, etc.—can be embedded. On the lattice of the vertices of the golden hyper-rhombohedrons, projections of all regular three-dimensional convex bodies—Plato's bodies—can be constructed.

Abstract:

Instagram is one of the famous and fast-growing media sharing platforms. Instagram allows users to share photos and videos with followers. There are plenty of ways to search for images on Instagram, but one of the most familiar ways is ’hashtag.’ Hashtag search enables the users to find the precise search result on Instagram. However, there are no rules for using the hashtag; that is why it often does not match the uploaded image, and for this reason, Users are unable to find the relevant search results. This research aims to filter any human face images on search results based on hashtags on Instagram. Our study extends the author’s [2] work by implementing image processing techniques that detect human faces and separate the identified images on search results based on hashtags using the face detection technique.

Abstract:

Almost all current civil and military aviation around the world use a kerosene-type fuel. However one of the alternatives is to use a mixture of petrochemicals and biofuel, especially methyl esters derived from vegetable oil (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, FAMEs) that given their properties appear to be one of the most suitable for Aviation fuels. Studies were conducted to develop a fundamental and detailed reaction mechanism for the combustion of bio-aviation fuel through a combination of the existing kerosene based reaction mechanism developed previously by the authors (Aviation Fuel Reaction Mechanism v1.1), along with published chemical kinetic mechanisms for methylbutanoate (MB). Methylbutanoate is the simplest FAME that exhibits similar patterns of reactivity to FAME’s of longer carbon chain length typical of those derived from vegetable oils, furthermore it has been the subject of several studies to provide chemical kinetic mechanisms to predict its oxidation behavior. Evaluations of the combined reaction mechanism have been performed using CHEMKIN™ and similar software simulating high temperature/pressure conditions. A comparison between the oxidation processes of the Kerosene and Bio-Aviation fuel was carried out, along with sensitivity analysis to provide insight into some of the differences observed. A similar behaviour was observed for blends of 20%MB/80%Kerosene in the combustion conditions studied, indicating that combustion in current aircraft engines would not be adversely affected by using such a blend.

Abstract:

Monte Carlo calculation has come to be used as reference solutions instead of experiments in nuclear design code validation and verification (V&V), although comparisons with measurements are still indispensable for V&V in nuclear design. MCNP [1] is one of the most famous Monte Carlo codes widely used in the world. Many reference results are given for the analyses of critical experiments. When using the use MCNP calculations for validations of commercial design codes, we will face to a problem of lacking temperature dependent cross-sections. The cross-sections can be generated by the NJOY code [2]. However, if the model has complex temperature distribution, many NJOY calculations are necessary. Besides, if the temperature profile changes with fuel power and so on, many NJOY calculations have to be performed again and again. These back and forth procedures make us give up using MCNP for commercial LWR calculations. In order to solve this problem, we propose an easy approximation to solve the temperature problems using MCNP. Note that our technique does not require any code modifications.

Abstract:

Nowadays, a lot of companies are faced with the urgency of change in their daily operations. This is especially relevant in modern business development conditions when constant changes are considered critical for a company to adapt to market requirements and the global economic situation. The paper presents the audit of the most famous change management models. Change management is an endless cycle, and it requires a sound vision, plan, time, aptitudes, inspiration, monetary and automatic endeavors to execute the change. Successful change management is a venture and contributes to a hierarchical turn of events. There are a few models of change management available and choosing the right change management model is vital for leading or guiding productive and smooth transitions. The main goal of this paper is to describe the main differences between the well-known change management models by reviewing the relevant literature. The analysis led to the conclusion that it is impossible to pick up an optimal approach to change management. Every approach to change management attracts attention to various aspects of this problem; however, they do not exclude but complement each other.

Abstract:

<p>The proper maintenance of bridges is nowadays fundamental and unavoidable. These structures have to be preserved and technical works are usually essential to ensure its correct preservation. In this respect, it is common to use the finite element method as a numerical technique to assess the structural behaviour of this type of structure. However, when it comes time to face a historical construction, it is well known the high level of uncertainty surrounding the definition of the parameters that characterize it. Material properties, connections between structural parts or construction process are aspects that can cause significant changes between the classical numerical results and those experimentally identified. Among non-destructive techniques, finite element modal updating allows for adjusting the numerical model on the basis of dynamic characterization of the structure. This study presents the implementation of this process on the bridge of Posadas (Cordoba, Spain), a historic construction designed by the famous engineer Eduardo Torroja in 1957. The singularity of this historical construction lies in its special configuration, a concrete deck with inverted bowstring steel trusses, which can only be found in two other examples in Europe.</p>

Abstract:

<p>Nairobi, famous for Nairobi National Park, the world's only game reserve found within a major city, started developing as a rail depot on the Uganda Railway and in 1963, Nairobi became the capital of the Republic of Kenya. The city of Nairobi had a population of mere 11,500 in the year of 1906, and it grew to 3,138,369 by Year 2009, at growth rate of 4.1% a year.</p> <p>At this rate, the difficulties commuting to the central business area is getting more and more complicated, though plans are being implemented in the need to decongest the city's traffic and the completion of Thika Road has given the city a much-needed face-lift attributed to road's enhancement of global standards. The need of the hour is developing a world class MRTS system, combination of Road and Rail Based MRTS technology. A comprehensive study was carried out in this direction to find out the feasibility of such MRTS and the various options worked out to find suitable solution, shall be discussed in the paper.</p>

Abstract:

There is currently a sustained interest in biofuels as they represent a potential alternative to petroleum derived fuels. Biofuels are likely to help decrease greenhouse gases emissions and the dependence on oil resources. Biodiesels are Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) that are mainly derived from vegetable oils; their compositions depend from the parent vegetables: rapeseed (“RME”), soybean (“SME”), sunflower, palm etc. A fraction of biodiesel has also an animal origin (“tallow”). A key factor for the use of biofuels in gas turbines is their Emissions Indices (NOx, CO, VOC, PM) in comparison with those of conventional “petroleum gasoils”. While biodiesels reduce carbon-containing pollutants, experimental data from diesel engines show a slight increase in NOx. The literature relating to gas turbines is very scarce. Two recent, independent field tests carried out in Europe (RME) and in the USA (SME) showed slightly lower NOx while a lab test on a microturbine showed the opposite effect. To clarify the NOx index of biodiesels in gas turbines, a study has been undertaken, taking gasoil and natural gas (NG) as reference fuels. In this study, a calculation of the flame temperature developed by the 3 classes of fuels has been performed and the effect of their respective compositions has been investigated. The five FAMEs studied were RME, SME and methyl esters of sunflower, palm and tallow; these are representative of most widespread vegetable and animal oil bases worldwide. The software THERGAS has been used to calculate the enthalpy and free energy properties of the fuels and GASEQ for the flame temperature (Tf), acknowledging the fact that “thermal NOx” represents the predominant form of NOx in gas turbines. To complete the approach to structural effects, we have modeled two NG compositions (rich and weak gas) and three types of gasoil using variable blends of eleven linear/branched/cyclic molecules. The results are consistent with the two recent field tests and show that the FAMEs lie close to petroleum gasoils and higher than NG in terms of NOx emission. The composition of the biodiesel and regular diesel fuel influences their combustion heat: methyl esters with double bonds see a slight increase of their Tf and their NOx index while that of gasoil is sensitive to the aromatic content.

Abstract:

The article analyses the peculiarities of the coverage of the covid pandemic in the Ukrainian media, the emphasis placed by the media in news, and how the online mode of modern life and social distancing affects the growth of media influence. Special attention is paid to the view of the famous publicist Heorhii Pocheptsov, who does not exclude the possibility that the coronavirus was invented intentionally to control millions of people around the world. Permanently, the world faces numerous challenges of different scales: economic, military, socio-political, environmental, epidemiological ones. In 2020, the largest and the most unexpected event, undoubtedly, was the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which spread from the small Chinese province of Wuhan to the whole world and already took more than one million people’s lives in less than a year. Thus, the media, that in the post-information society actually have an unprecedented impact on people, form a person’s perception of such challenges. As a result, our understanding of the pandemic is directly related to the information we consume from the media. In fact, from the very start of quarantine, the media space began to be captured by analytical materials in which experts from various fields tried to predict what the world would be like after the end of coronavirus. These experts were of two types: some claimed that irreversible changes would deepen the permanent economic and socio-political crisis, and by claiming that they intensified panic, while others argued that any crisis is a chance to restart and grow. The experts put different emphases covering the covid pandemic in the media, but it is important to pay attention to the analysis of the famous publicist, propaganda researcher – Heorhii Pocheptsov, who sees the coronavirus as a tool to influence millions of people. The pandemic will end sooner or later, but no matter whether the virus was artificially invented or not, the processes that have already been launched around the world cannot stop as if nothing had happened. But Heorhii Pocheptsov’s opinion about the possible artificial nature of the virus should make us more vigilant while consuming information from TVs or from the online media, as it is possible that this information might be a part of a great game that we were not warned about.

Full text

Abstract:

The article investigates functional techniques of extralinguistic expression in multimedia texts; the effectiveness of figurative expressions as a reaction to modern events in Ukraine and their influence on the formation of public opinion is shown. Publications of journalists, broadcasts of media resonators, experts, public figures, politicians, readers are analyzed. The language of the media plays a key role in shaping the worldview of the young political elite in the first place. The essence of each statement is a focused thought that reacts to events in the world or in one’s own country. The most popular platform for mass information and social interaction is, first of all, network journalism, which is characterized by mobility and unlimited time and space. Authors have complete freedom to express their views in direct language, including their own word formation. Phonetic, lexical, phraseological and stylistic means of speech create expression of the text. A figurative word, a good aphorism or proverb, a paraphrased expression, etc. enhance the effectiveness of a multimedia text. This is especially important for headlines that simultaneously inform and influence the views of millions of readers. Given the wide range of issues raised by the Internet as a medium, research in this area is interdisciplinary. The science of information, combining language and social communication, is at the forefront of global interactions. The Internet is an effective source of knowledge and a forum for free thought. Nonlinear texts (hypertexts) – «branching texts or texts that perform actions on request», multimedia texts change the principles of information collection, storage and dissemination, involving billions of readers in the discussion of global issues. Mastering the word is not an easy task if the author of the publication is not well-read, is not deep in the topic, does not know the psychology of the audience for which he writes. Therefore, the study of media broadcasting is an important component of the professional training of future journalists. The functions of the language of the media require the authors to make the right statements and convincing arguments in the text. Journalism education is not only knowledge of imperative and dispositive norms, but also apodictic ones. In practice, this means that there are rules in media creativity that are based on logical necessity. Apodicticity is the first sign of impressive language on the platform of print or electronic media. Social expression is a combination of creative abilities and linguistic competencies that a journalist realizes in his activity. Creative self-expression is realized in a set of many important factors in the media: the choice of topic, convincing arguments, logical presentation of ideas and deep philological education. Linguistic art, in contrast to painting, music, sculpture, accumulates all visual, auditory, tactile and empathic sensations in a universal sign – the word. The choice of the word for the reproduction of sensory and semantic meanings, its competent use in the appropriate context distinguishes the journalist-intellectual from other participants in forums, round tables, analytical or entertainment programs. Expressive speech in the media is a product of the intellect (ability to think) of all those who write on socio-political or economic topics. In the same plane with him – intelligence (awareness, prudence), the first sign of which (according to Ivan Ogienko) is a good knowledge of the language. Intellectual language is an important means of organizing a journalistic text. It, on the one hand, logically conveys the author’s thoughts, and on the other – encourages the reader to reflect and comprehend what is read. The richness of language is accumulated through continuous self-education and interesting communication. Studies of social expression as an important factor influencing the formation of public consciousness should open up new facets of rational and emotional media broadcasting; to trace physical and psychological reactions to communicative mimicry in the media. Speech mimicry as one of the methods of disguise is increasingly becoming a dangerous factor in manipulating the media. Mimicry is an unprincipled adaptation to the surrounding social conditions; one of the most famous examples of an animal characterized by mimicry (change of protective color and shape) is a chameleon. In a figurative sense, chameleons are called adaptive journalists. Observations show that mimicry in politics is to some extent a kind of game that, like every game, is always conditional and artificial.
