Abstract:
This work was carried out to explore the potential use of used face masks in concrete to develop sustainable green concrete. In this experimental study, used face masks were cut up, removing the ear stripes and internal nose steel wire, to prepare elongated fibers. These fibers were incorporated in cement fly ash mixtures as an additive to determine the response of M20-grade concrete. The Class F fly ash (FA) was employed as a fractional substitute of cement up to 25% by weight, whereas the addition of face masks occurred at 0%, 0.125%, and 0.25% by volume of concrete. The testing scheme focused on the mechanical and durability characteristics of the cement FA mixtures carried out after 3, 28, and 60 days of curing. The inclusion of FA and face mask fibers reduced the density of concrete specimens. The compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of mixes were also reduced at an early age; however, the strength characteristics improved at later ages, compared to the control mix. The combination of both materials in concrete mixtures resulted in lower water absorption, lower bulk water sorption, and lower mass loss values against acid attack at later ages. Similarly, the electrical resistance of concrete substantially enhanced by increasing the percentage of both materials. The experimental results demonstrated that processed face masks can be utilized in cement fly ash mixes without significantly compromising the resultant concrete characteristics.

Abstract:
AbstractA series of terrorist attacks occurred in Paris, France, on 13th November 2015. In response to those terrorist attacks, French President declared a state of emergency no less than 24 hours after the attacks. Under state of emergency, French government is allowed to take any measures derogating human rights, for instance, conducting a search without a warrant and restricting an individual's freedom. Later on 14th July 2016, another attack occurred in Nice. French government then extended the state of emergency, and the extension itself was undertaken up to five times, meaning that the state of emergency was imposed up to six terms. As for the extension of the state of emergency, the authority of French government to exercise the derogation of human rights was also extended. State of emergency is permissible under international law provided that it is carried out consistent with the principles of human rights. This article aims to analyze the standards and limitations that bind States to implement state of emergency, particularly derogation measures. In this regard, France has failed to comply with the principles prescribed by international law taking into account that several derogation measures taken by France were inconsistent with the limitations set out under state of emergency.Keywords: derogation of human rights, state of emergency, terrorism 
 Abstrak Pada tanggal 13 November 2015, telah terjadi rangkaian serangan teroris di kota Paris, Prancis. Akibat dari serangan teroris tersebut, maka Presiden Prancis mendeklarasikan bahwa Prancis dalam keadaan darurat. Dalam keadaan darurat tersebut pemerintah Prancis dapat melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang mengesampingkan HAM seperti melakukan penggeledahan tanpa surat perintah dan pembatasan terhadap kebebasan individu. Belum selesai masa keadaan darurat atas serangan teroris di kota Paris, munculah serangan teroris lainnya di kota Nice, Prancis pada tanggal 14 Juli 2016. Sebagai reaksi atas kejadian teror tersebut, Presiden Prancis kembali memperpanjang masa keadaan darurat. Oleh sebab itu, perpanjangan keadaan darurat dilakukan sebanyak lima kali yang berarti keadaan darurat diberlakukan dalam enam tahap. Dengan perpanjangan keadaan darurat maka pemerintah juga memperluas kewenangannya untuk melakukan tindakan yang mengesampingkan HAM warga Prancis. Keadaan darurat dapat diberlakukan berdasarkan hukum internasional dengan memperhatikan prinsip-prinsip HAM. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis standar dan batasan-batasan yang mengikat negara untuk memberlakukan keadaan darurat, terutama dalam mengambil langkah-langkah pengesampingan HAM. Dalam hal ini, Prancis telah gagal untuk mematuhi prinsip-prinsip hukum internasional mengingat beberapa langkah pengesampingan HAM tersebut tidak sejalan dengan batasan-batasan yang diatur dalam keadaan darurat. Kata kunci: keadaan darurat, pengesampingan HAM, terorisme

Abstract:
White pine weevil Pissodes strobi behaviour was observed in a five-year-old plantation of white spruce in Vernon, British Columbia. Seasonal weevil-host interactions were monitored in four susceptible and four putatively resistant reciprocal cross family pairs in three of five replicates. Classification of susceptibility to weevil attack was based on previous weevil attack history. Performance of eight reciprocal cross pairs was ranked as a function of visitation, oviposition and brood establishment resulting in top-kill. The four putatively resistant family crosses ranked 1 to 4 for resistance to weevil attack, while the four susceptible crosses were ranked 5 to 8 and were consistently attacked. Seasonal and diurnal weevil movement was monitored using mark-recapture techniques. Diurnally, weevils moved within the tree. Feeding occurred at dawn in the leader and upper laterals after which weevils moved down the tree into the forest floor during the high mid-summer temperatures. Later in the season weevils fed in mid-morning on the leader and on the under-sides of lateral branches. A dispersal index was developed to describe seasonal movement. Weevils did not move far throughout the season. Overall dispersal index for both males and females was less than 0.24 m, suggesting that on average, weevils do not move further than the adjacent tree throughout the season after mating and oviposition. Key words: Dispersal, pest management, Pissodes strobi, resistance, silviculture, white spruce

Abstract:
The present paper proposed a novel approach called Wavelet based Least Significant Bit Watermarking (WLSBWM) for high authentication, security and copyright protection. Alphabet Pattern (AP) approach is used to generate shuffled image in the first stage and Pell’s Cat Map (PCM) is used for providing more security and strong protection from attacks. PCM applied on each 5×5 sub images. A wavelet concept is used to reduce the dimensionality of the image until it equals to the size of the watermark image. Discrete Cosign Transform is applied in the first stage; later N level Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied for reducing up to the size of the watermark image. The water mark image is inserted in LH Sub band of the wavelet image using LSB concept. Simulation results show that the proposed technique produces better PSNR and similarity measure. The experimental results indicate that the present approach is more reliable and secure efficient. The robustness of the proposed scheme is evaluated against various image-processing attacks.

Abstract:
Data mining aims at extracting knowledge from data. Sometimes this requires the data owner to make data available to the data analyst. Unless the analyst is trusted by the data owner, the latter may wish to have his intellectual property rights protected. Watermarking is a way to provide some protection, not only for multimedia data, but also for numerical data. It consists of imperceptibly embedding a secret mark into the data to be protected. The mark can later be used to resolve any subsequent disputes on data ownership. This paper presents a watermarking method that embeds a watermark into each attribute of a multivariate continuous numerical dataset. This watermarking method is shown to be robust against random noise addition attacks. Data quality is assured to the extent that the watermarked data nearly preserve the attribute means and the covariance matrix from the original dataset. Our proposal is the first known watermarking system for multivariate numerical datasets with such robustness and quality properties.

Abstract:
This article examines the fate of lyrical songs of the Great Fatherland War in the post-war, late-Stalin period. Despite a relentless attack by critics, songs that emphasized loss and suffering continued to be written, recorded, and performed after the war. These kept a narrative of individual struggle alive during a period when the Party attempted to impose a state-heavy, heroized interpretation of the war that emphasized the glory of Stalin’s leadership. The article includes analyses of performances by Mark Bernes and Klavdiia Shul’zhenko, traces the continued popularity of songs written during the war, and examines songs of return and memory written in the post-war period. It also makes a plea for increased attention to this neglected era: the tensions between the attempts to restalinize culture in various ways after the war and the need to promote escapism and create culture that was truly popular made for a level of complexity during the post-war period that has been largely neglected by scholars. Since the lyrical songs of the Great Fatherland War secured a public place in Soviet culture, this article also challenges the notion that the so-called cult of the Great Fatherland War was simply bombastic and dehumanizing.

Abstract:
COVID-19 is a disease that attacks the respiratory system from no symptoms to death. Because more and more individuals are infected with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic, wearing a mask is one of the ways to prevent it. The purpose of this community service activity is to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19 and increase public awareness to always use masks when leaving the house. The target of this activity is the traders who sell at the Pekanbaru Dupa Market. The method of implementing this activity is in the form of social service by distributing cloth masks for free and providing information about the use of cloth masks with the target of changing the behavior of traders by always wearing masks when selling. The output of this service activity is publication in a community service journal. The result of this activity was the distribution of 100 cloth masks for free to traders. However, when the evaluation was carried out a week later, it turned out that there were still many traders who did not wear masks when selling. It is hoped that traders will increase awareness of wearing masks as a way to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

Abstract:
This powerful retrospective analysis of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting aftermath considers society’s response to the attack, long-term implications of the shooting, and the ways in which research and related policy must continue to move forward. An indispensable resource for anyone interested in learning about the long-term impact of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, Columbine, 20 Years Later and Beyond provides a comprehensive look at how the event unfolded, what has changed since the attack, and how this information can be used to prevent future mass shootings. Authors Jaclyn Schildkraut and Glenn Muschert, both experts on mass shootings, share their broad understanding of this tragedy and its aftermath. Columbine became the measuring stick against which all other mass shootings would be compared, and this book details with great sensitivity the ensuing changes to school security, law enforcement's response to active shooter situations, threat assessment practices, legislative efforts, and media coverage of unfolding situations. With delicacy and tact, Schildkraut and Muschert help to answer the painful question raised by a stone on the wall of the Columbine Memorial: “What have we learned?”.

Abstract:
While the Gospels of Mark and Mary are very different and neither gospel makes the role of women the prime focus of attention, the prominence of female characters is striking in both. This chapter explores how, despite their great differences, the two texts show a remarkable similarity in their depiction of Jesus’ women followers. In both, women take on crucial roles at the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly career. Although the original ending of Mark may suggest that the women disciples failed to communicate the message entrusted to them at the, this impression is countered by the later Markan endings and by most other post-Markan retellings of the tomb story. In the Gospel of Mary, Peter and Andrew’s attack on Mary is countered by Levi’s defence of her as a uniquely privileged disciple. Both Mark and the Gospel of Mary use women figures to present a message of discipleship.

This chapter discusses the N-body problem. In 1886, Karl Weierstrass submitted the following question to the scientific community on the occasion of a mathematical competition to mark the 60th birthday of King Oscar II of Sweden. Weierstrass asked that, ‘given a system of arbitrarily many mass points that attract each other according to Newton’s laws, try to find, under the assumption that no two points ever collide, a representation of the coordinates of each point as a series in a variable which is some known function of time and for all of whose values the series converges uniformly’. Henri Poincaré showed that the equations of motion for more than two gravitational bodies are not in general integrable and won the competition. However, the jury awarded the prize to Poincaré not for solving the problem, but for coming up with the first ideas of what later became known as chaos theory.

Full text
Abstract:
A comprehensively illustrated account of the Atlanta-class cruisers, warships that found a surprising key role in the Pacific War as the US Navy's superb antiaircraft warships. In the late 1930s, the US Navy created a class of small, light cruisers intended as a versatile destroyer leader. The Atlantas could provide antiaircraft support, lead and launch torpedo attacks, serve as antisubmarine vessels, and outgun other light warships in a surface engagement. The wartime reality was different. In every surface action they fought, they found themselves pitted against bigger cruisers (or even battleships) instead of the destroyers they were designed to defeat. In this book, naval historian Mark Lardas explains that despite their flaws, they proved one of the most useful warships in the US Navy: with a main battery of sixteen 5in guns, they proved to be superb antiaircraft cruisers. From the battle of Midway onwards, they protected the Navy’s most valuable ships – its aircraft carriers – so effectively that later Atlantas were built to a modified design as specialist antiaircraft ships. The Navy even ordered a follow-on class postwar and considered building a “super-Atlanta,” armed only with heavy antiaircraft guns. Packed with illustrations, this book examines the history, development, and modifications of these unusual warships, and their impact on the Pacific War.

Full text
Abstract:
This Prologue describes three stories concerning Korematsu. The first is told in late 2015 by U.S. judges. It reaches back to the Supreme Court’s 1944 ruling in Korematsu validating the World War II Japanese American removal and incarceration. And it discerns insights, maybe lessons, for America about fundamental freedoms sacrificed in the name of perceived exigency. The second story starts with Justice Jackson’s loaded weapon warning about expanding Korematsu’s principle to new purposes. In 2014, then-Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia responded to a question about a possible U.S. mass exclusion or roundup of Muslims with a disturbing prophesy. The third story concerns Scalia’s it-could-happen-again prophesy and how the laws fall silent. That story is an amalgam of calls for mass Muslim exclusion and detention by government officials and Republican presidential candidates after the 2015 Paris and San Bernardino attacks—calls that partially coalesced in President Trump’s controversial 2017 exclusion-and-detention executive orders.

Full text
Abstract:
Serge Gainsbourg is arguably the Francophone songwriter whose contribution to the international appeal of French popular music has been the most significant in the post-war era. Sampled by Beck, De La Soul, Massive Attack and Fatboy Slim, remixed by Howie B. and David Holmes, translated by Mick Harvey, and covered by Iggy Pop, Donna Summer, Portishead, Madeleine Peyroux, the Pet Shop Boys and Franz Ferdinand, his music has crossed borders in a way no other modern French-language singer-songwriter’s has. The interdisciplinary approach of Serge Gainsbourg: An International Perspective engages in a dialogue between musicology, film and media studies, literature, cultural studies, gender studies, and more, revealing the broad scope of Gainsbourg’s impact in and outside of France, from the late 1950s through today. Bringing together a large selection of scholars from across the world, this collection of 26 chapters emphasizes his unique position in French culture, covering issues such as his musical influences and collaborations, esthetics and form, his experimentations with disciplines other than music (mainly film and literature), not to mention the conversation at play between high art and mass culture in this artist’s multifaceted body of work.

Abstract:
This work examines how politicians in late classical Athens made persuasive use of the city’s past when addressing mass citizen audiences, especially in the law courts and Assembly. It focuses on Demosthenes and Aeschines—both prominent statesmen, and bitter rivals—as its case-study orators. Recent scholarly treatments of how the Athenians remembered their past tend to concentrate on collective processes; to complement these, this work looks at the rhetorical strategies devised by individual orators, examining what it meant for Demosthenes or Aeschines to present particular ‘historical’ examples (or paradigms/paradeigmata), arguments, and illustrations in particular contexts. It argues that discussing the Athenian past—and therefore a core aspect of Athenian identity itself—offered Demosthenes and Aeschines (and others) an effective and versatile means both of building and highlighting their own credibility, authority, and commitment to the democracy and its values, and of competing with their rivals, whose own versions and handling of the past they could challenge and undermine as a symbolic attack on those rivals’ wider competence. Recourse to versions of the past also offered orators a way of reflecting on a troubled contemporary geopolitical landscape where Athens first confronted the enterprising Philip II of Macedon and then coped with Macedonian hegemony. The work, which covers all of Demosthenes’ and Aeschines’ surviving public oratory, is constructed round a series of detailed readings of individual speeches and sets of speeches (Chapters 2 to 6), while Chapter 1 offers a series of synoptic surveys of individual topics which inform the main discussion.

Abstract:
Despite the growth of interest in the study of terrorism since 9/11, terrorism analysts rarely take a multidisciplinary approach to the subject. This leaves a number of terrorism's characteristics to be explored in new and unique ways. Terrorism's Unanswered Questions brings together scholars from the fields of criminology, international relations, law, political science, security studies, and sociology to answer several important questions where consensus has yet to be reached. Each chapter offers a new approach to the question asked that is both unique and challenges popular thought. The result is an original work appealing to a broad audience of scholars and students who desire to develop a better understanding of terrorism's characteristics. In the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States terrorism became a topic for the masses to explore, rather than the hidden purview of analysts and scholars tucked away at the CIA or in the ivory tower. Now, more than five years later, there remains much to be discovered about terrorism and its causes. This volume takes a look at some of terrorism's unanswered questions. How do we define terrorism? What threat does the United States face from weapons of mass destruction? Why has international law failed to stop terrorism? These are but three of the questions addressed in this volume. While the editors do not claim to have all of the answers, they do promise a view of terrorism not seen before.

Abstract:
In late January 2009, I sat down to re-read Nietz sche’s Geneal-ogy of Morals. I remember this otherwise uneventful event so distinctly because at that moment the first of Israel’s series of twenty-first-century wars on Gaza was brutally and unremit-tingly underway. During that three-week-long military attack, Israel killed over 1,400 Palestinians, most of whom were civil-ians and approximately 400 of whom were children. Israel, in fact, deliberately targeted civilians — including children and humanitarian aid workers — assaulting Palestinians simulta-neously by air, land, and sea, and deploying white phosphorus against them, a chemical intended to operate as a smokescreen for troop movements but when used as a weapon burns people’s flesh down to the bone.1 The brutality of Israel’s war was all the more agonizing due to the fact that the people of Gaza were not allowed to leave there, Gaza itself being among the most dense-ly populated areas on the earth. This unrelenting, intentional, and indiscriminate massacre, conducted by one of the largest military powers in the world against a largely unarmed, civil-ian, refugee, and subject population, resulted in mass murder, rampant homelessness, devastation of Gaza’s infrastructure, and destruction of the major institutions and workings of Palestin-ian daily life, including schools, universities, mosques, hospi-tals, and roads.

Abstract The late 1960s mark a historical divide. In nearly every society, the tenor of life changed. Social and cultural traditions endured concerted attack. Authority figures faced direct challenges from “ordinary” citizens. Fears of worldwide chaos replaced assumptions about international order. Like balls of yarn, the stable lines of postwar geopolitics came undone as people pulled at them from multiple directions. This was an era of global revolution—from within and without.

Abstract:
Abstract In January 1978, Tehran experienced a “revolutionary upswing.” Protesters flooded the streets day after day in mass demonstrations against Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Iranian monarch, hated by many of his subjects for the repressiveness of his regime and for his close alliance with the West. A year after the protests began, the political fallout for the West—and the economic cost to Western companies—would be immense. Trade between Iran and the United States, valued at $5.7 billion in 1977, would be effectively wiped out. A new government would expropriate vast amounts of U.S. and other foreign-owned property. These companies would recoup some of the losses years later in an international claims tribunal, but a combination of Iranian hostility toward America and U.S. embargoes would guarantee a loss of potential revenue for these firms for decades to come. The shah would be gone; Iran would be ruled by a theocracy hostile to the West. The Islamic revolution and the regional political realignment it provoked are still very much with us. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11 terrorist attacks, the shah’s overthrow in 1979 may well represent modern America’s greatest intelligence failure.

A lone wolf terrorist is a single individual acting essentially alone who kills or injures people or inflicts or plans to inflict significant damage on infrastructure at a single instant or over time to bring about their political, religious, or ideological aims. SIMAD stands for Single Individual Massively Destructive – a lone wolf who uses or plans to use a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The availability WMD's to individuals is increasing, for example, through the availability of synthetic biology. A Real Time Delphi study of the evolution of Lone Wolf terrorism was conducted with 57 worldwide experts. When the group was asked to estimate the year when a lone wolf might kill or wound 100,000 people in a single attack, the average response 2067. However, the group was sharply divided; self-identified security experts judged much later dates or “never.” While the severity of future attacks appears to be growing, the potential for pre-detection is also growing, giving rise to a new kind of arms race. This study provides early warning of a possibly serious and growing threat; the time should be used to help find strategies that can minimize the threat.

Abstract In September of 1917, the body of Rufus Moncrief, a thirty-yearold black man, was found riddled with bullets on a country road just south of Athens. Above his corpse was tacked a terse note: “You have assaulted one white girl but you will not assault another.” The murder of Moncrief, carried out by just two carloads of men operating under cover of darkness, was mild compared with those that followed as the war aggravated social tensions. A year later, a posse of enraged white men pursued and caught Obe Cox, whom they accused of raping and murdering the wife of a prominent white farmer in neighboring Oglethorpe County. As several thousand spectators gathered, they chained Cox to an iron post, assembled a pyre beneath him, and burned him alive.1 Prior to these two cases, no lynching had occurred in Clarke County for more than forty years. So tranquil was it that Athens appeared a haven to many black Georgians fleeing harsher territory.2 Then, suddenly, things changed. Between 1917 and 1921, four lynchings took place in the vicinity, each one involving an allegation of some threat to the purity or safety of a white woman. The Klan rode the crest of this wave of killings, encouraged as much by the tacit approval they received from most whites as by the acts themselves. In their wake, it set to work with its own campaign of intimidation and terror. Escalating the attacks on African Americans and including deviant whites among its targets, the Klan would test the limits of that community acceptance.

Abstract Mark Golden has recently argued that. there is an undercurrent of sadism in Greek art of the late archaic and classical periods-to be found in both literary and visual arts. As prime examples of this, he cites literary accounts of the (ritual) murders of Iphigeneia at Aulis (described by Aiskhylos at Ag. 231-47) and of Polyxena (described by Euripides in the Hecuba). His prime example from the visual arts is the Wounded Niobid in the Terme Museum (a some what controversial piece; but in this case it matters little whether the statue is really Attic and of mid-fifth-century date, or is a later copy of a statue of the same period).

Abstract The conquest of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204 led to the creation of an intricate tissue of Latin states in Romania, and it is their later fortunes which form the subject of this chapter (see map 6). The most prestigious of the creations, the Latin Empire of Constantinople, was also the weakest. Surrounded by enemies, and failing, despite their strenuous efforts, to attract the settlers they needed for long-term viability, the Empire’s rulers staggered from crisis to crisis while searching in vain for a western protector. The coup de grace, Michael VIII’s reconquest of Constantinople in 1261, completed the shift in western interests towards the southern and western part of Romania which had begun with the collapse of the ephemeral ‘Kingdom of Thessalonica’ in 1224; military aid from Latin Christendom could be dispatched more rapidly towards southern Greece, and the Venetians could deploy their naval superiority with greater effectiveness there and in the Aegean and Adriatic islands. The most important of the surviving states were the Principality of Achaea, which occupied the classical Peloponnese (or Morea, as both Franks and Greeks termed it), and the Duchy of Athens. The Peloponnese was overrun by William of Champlitte and Geoffrey of Villehardouin in 1204–5, and ruled by Geoffrey’s descendants. Athens was conquered by Boniface of Montferrat in 1204 and consigned as a fief to the Burgundian lord Odo of la Roche. Odo and the dynasty which he established came to govern Attica, Boeotia, and the Argolid. Seventeen islands in the Cyclades were seized in 1207 with comparative ease by a group of Venetian entrepreneurs led by Mark Sanudo, who partitioned the islands as fiefs amongst his followers, retaining Naxos and several other islands for himself, and ruling with the title Duke of the Archipelago.

Abstract:
This chapter evaluates when and how the outside world came to know about the Nazi genocide during the Second World War. In Sweden, there has been considerable public and private debate on this question centred on a document from August of 1942, known as the Vendel Report, which contains a description of the situation in Germany and in German-occupied Poland. Karl Yngve Vendel, a 45-year-old officer of the Swedish consular corps, was transferred in January of 1940 from Holland and appointed as consul in Stettin. Vendel's principal assignment was to gather intelligence. Sweden feared German aggression, a justified fear, for only several months later Germany was to attack Denmark and Norway and conquer them easily. Vendel's account was one of the first revelations of the scale of the Nazi genocide to be sent to the West.

Abstract:
Speaking before a Congressional committee on November 27, 1970, J. Edgar Hoover falsely claimed that a group of Catholic pacifists, including well known priests, brothers Philip and Daniel Berrigan, were planning an imminent attack on Washington, DC that included bombings and the kidnapping of a government official (later identified as Henry Kissinger). This chapter explains how Hoover’s outrageous accusation backfired, leading to a decline in the FBI’s public image. Other events in early 1971 also undermined the FBI’s credibility: the Weather Underground’s bombing of the US Capitol on March 1, 1971, which highlighted the bureau’s inability to thwart the group; and a break-in at an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania that resulted in the first public revelations of the bureau’s mass domestic surveillance and counterintelligence programs (COINTELPRO).

Abstract When the tragic flower first blossomed in Attic soil late in the sixth century it represented a major innovation on the horizon of Greek poetry and society. For the first time the familiar figures of myth—the men, women, and gods sung of by the Homeric bard and his successors—had miraculously come to life. They moved and interacted as real physical presences before the eyes; they spoke and sung directly to the ear of the audience; the new technology of the theatrical mask and costume introduced the possibility of total impersonation. A unique set of circumstances had produced a radically new kind of performance, and with it the first fully theatrical audience.

Abstract:
In 1997, the Institute for Marine Dynamics (IMD) together with International Submarine Engineering Research Limited (ISER) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) proposed to design and test a 1/2 scale surface-piercing mast for the DOLPHIN. This new mast was to be designed in such a way that it would assist in controlling vehicle roll. Another goal was to reduce the drag of the mast. A new mast was designed with a 25% plain flap over its lower-half and active air ejection over its surface-piercing upper-half. Both methods of control were tested in the 200m Towing Tank at IMD using a 0.516 scale model of the DOLPHIN. This work was carried out in late 1997 and early 1998 with funding from IMD, MUN and ISER. The results of some of these experiments are presented and discussed in this paper.

Abstract:
In the paper, the authors analyze the position of the institution of the social ombudsman of self-governance according to the Constitution of SFRY from 1974. The function of the so-called "Working class ombudsman" was introduced into the legal system of Yugoslavia based on the original ombudsman function that existed in some European countries. However, the competences of the social ombudsman of self-management were strictly limited to the domain of protection of the self-management rights of working people and social property. Regardless of the significant differences compared to the original ombudsman function, the institution of the social ombudsman of self-management left a significant mark in the legal circle of the SFRY, which is why many consider it the forerunner of the ombudsman function as we know it today. The reflection of this institution in the legal system of Yugoslavia occurred after a series of socio-political events that threatened to threaten the entire system of self-governing socialism. The communist authorities believed that the way out of the political crisis should be sought in strengthening self-management and alleviating discontent among the working class, which, among other things, meant the establishment of more effective mechanisms for the protection of self-management rights. The position of the social ombudsman of self-governance was characterized by significant differences in relation to the position of other state bodies. It was not even considered an organ of the state, but an organ of society, which represented the bond of working people with organizations of associated work and socio-political communities. Therefore, the fundamental prerequisite for the establishment of this institution was to build the trust of the working class in that this body has the capacity to protect the self-governing rights of working people even from the attacks of the state and other bodies and organizations of associated work.

Abstract:
The concept of passive dynamic walking and running [5] has demonstrated that a simple passive model can represent the dynamics of whole-body human locomotion. Since then, many passive models were developed and studied: [3,1,2,11]. The later developed Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) [1, 4, 11, 2] exhibits stable center of mass (CoM) motions just by resetting the landing angle at each touch down. Also, compared to SLIP, a SLIP-like model with simple flight leg control is better at resisting perturbations of the angle of velocity but not the magnitude [11, 2, 7]. Energy conserving models explain much about whole-body locomotion. Recently, there has been investigations of modified spring-mass models capable of greater stability, like that of animals and robots [9, 10, 8, 12]. Inspired by RHex [6], the Clock-Torqued Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (CT-SLIP) model [9] was developed, and has been used to explain the robust stability of animal locomotion [12]. Here we present a model (mechanism) simpler than CT-SLIP called Forced-Damped SLIP (FD-SLIP) that can attain full asymptotically stability of the CoM during locomotion, and is capable of both walking and running motions. The FD-SLIP model, having fewer parameters, is more accessible and easier to analyze for the exploration and discovery of principles of legged locomotion.

Abstract:
Thin-walled beams with open-section are extensively employed as energy absorption structures in transportation system, e.g., automobile bumper beams and guardrails. However, during the crushing process of these traditional open-section structures, local section flattening and lateral buckling of the webs always occur, which lead to a reduction on section-height, resulting in a significantly smaller bending resistance at the later stage of deformation and the formation of localized plastic hinges. This paper presents a novel design of high performance energy absorption beams using developable origami patterns. The origami beams overcome the problems associated with traditional open-section structures and they give nearly constant bending resistance during crushing process. Numerical analysis shows that the specific energy absorption (energy absorption per unit mass) of the origami beam is at least 20% higher in large deformation than that of the traditional thrie-beam which often used as guardrail. Our research finding demonstrates that utilising origami patterns to open-section beams can effectively alter their collapse modes, attain nearly constant bending resistance and achieve higher specific energy absorption.

The selection of music combined with the text about music is very important for the effect on the viewer of the television music programs. The interaction between music and text turns into an action towards the viewer, and that action is, in fact, the essence of the television medium. The words about music hold great importance, almost like the music itself, and their mutual influence leads to a new quality – to a new television music form. To achieve the most suitable effect and the highest range from that combination requires great erudition, skilful use of various elements and their connection during the presentation of a certain topic or idea. Dragutin Gostuški indeed possessed all these qualities, so his television performances were always true spectacles – regardless of whether he created an introduction to a music event or designed a programme or an entire series. In each of his performances he demonstrated his impeccable sense of time in the television medium, noticing the exact quantity of information that should be presented, and choosing the manner, vocabulary, sentence structure, and rhythm of the text that should be used. We could systematize Gostuški’s presence on several levels; this text analyses music program in which he gave the introduction before the music piece that will be performed or before the content that will be presented, as well as the music programmes and the musical series in which he was the scriptwriter and presenter.

Those introductions are good examples of an outstanding text that would attract viewers and provide them the necessary information. After those interesting, but sporadic appearances in the television field, Gostuški established a fruitful cooperation with the Educational Programme of the Belgrade Television, and left a significant mark on the creativity of our television. He started with a small introduction to the Pianist series, and then continued with the program Profession: Musicians, where he wrote the script for the programme about the musicologist profession and, of course, was the host. The most significant work in the field of television Gostuški achieved with the series The Birth of Serbian Musical Culture. He combined media and historiographical elements and the abundant use of documents on the visual level, connecting music and text. The series contains many aspects of social and historical movements and the description of Belgrade and Serbia state until the beginning of the World War I. In that way, Dragutin Gostuški made an outstanding contribution to Serbian historical and musicological research in the television domain. This series is the best and the most complete example of his television narrative.

Abstract:
The authors explored the activity of mass media and cultural organizations aimed at clarification of the current problematic issue – preservation of Ukrainian cultural heritage under the conditions of the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. The authors emphasize that occupants not only destroy historic buildings, i.e. material objects, but also steal art values, destroy library and archive funds; their actions are aimed at destruction of our spirituality, identity and history. It is pointed out that there are the main streams in the work of journalists, experts, and culture figures, namely: fixation of losses, propaganda of the Ukrainian culture in the world, expert evaluation of the restitution possibilities, and filling of the culture material with patriotic sense. The full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022 led to the numerous loss of life, ruination of the military, civil and infrastructure objects. But the state-aggressor destroys and robs our culture in this war. Since the beginning of the war mass media have been actively informing about the situation in the regions, which happened to be at the line of the Russian troops attack. The information was in particular about the fact that different educational establishments, libraries and their funds, museums with valuable collections, theatres, religious buildings and historic buildings had been ruined. To tell the truth the information was incomplete due to the limited opportunities to monitor the situation. However, later it has been systematized. The work of journalists and experts contributed to this since they stated the criminal acts of Russia, informing about the ruination facts of historic, sacral, cultural monuments, devastation of many museum collections, destruction of library and archive funds. Digitalization of the Russian war crimes against Ukrainian culture became one more important work aimed at preservation of the Ukrainian cultural heritage. It was done by means of interactive maps of the Ukrainian cultural losses and it enables documenting crimes of the occupant army and spreading this information at the international level. Key words: culture, cultural front, cultural losses, cultural values, cultural heritage, war, media.

Abstract:
Geographic maps have been of military and economic importance throughout the ages. Rulers have commissioned maps to control the financial, economic, political, and military aspects of their sovereign entities. Large scale projects like the Ordnance Survey in the UK in the late 18th century, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition a few decades later to map the American West, are early examples of trailblazing efforts to create accurate modern maps of high strategic importance. Digitalization, globalization, and a larger urban and educated workforce necessitate a new understanding of the world, beyond traditional maps based on geographic features. Many of today's most critical threats know no geographic borders. For instance, cyber attacks can be orchestrated through globally distributed bot networks; just-in-time manufacturing relies on the free flow of goods across jurisdictions; global markets and the infrastructures that support them relay information and price signals globally within seconds. A lack of understanding financial interdependencies was clearly demonstrated by the freezing of credit markets in the last financial crisis and the uncertainty created by Brexit. Ten years after the financial crisis, we are still only beginning to map, model and visualise these critical maps of the financial world. We call for attention to work on a large scale project of "Financial Cartography" to address this gap. In financial cartography, we replace geographic proximity with logical proximity, such as financial interdependence, similarity (e.g., of portfolio or income streams), a flow of transactions or a magnitude of exposures. Similar to geographic maps, financial maps will find many important uses across business, government and military domains. Critically, they are needed for protection and projection of state power, for optimizing and managing risks in business, and in making policy decisions related to the major challenges of climate change, mass migration and geopolitical instability. Fundamentally, cartography is a way that reality can be modeled to communicate information on “big data” sets. Cartography allows one to simplify and reduce the complexity of the data to highlight salient features of the data, and to filter out noise. This makes maps ideal devices to increase the bandwidth by which information can be communicated to its users, for making quick decision based on complex data. In the following pages, we make a case and provide starting points for a research agenda around "Financial Cartography" in three interrelated parts: Maps of Trade Networks Maps of Financial Markets and Maps of Financial Market Infrastructures
