Abstract:
The paper outlines the origin, development, applications, and impact of conceptual scientific illustration, developed in the early 20th century by Fritz Kahn, a German gynecologist, publisher and popularizer of science. These illustrations explains how things work via concepts, metaphors and illusion. This is in contrast to the descriptive anatomical and natural illustrations of 19th-century paintings which show what things look like. The article presents the systematics of the main types of illustrations by F. Kahn and reflects on reception thereof.

Abstract:
This article examines the role of visual metaphor for moral-political cognition. It makes use of a large corpus of 250 multimodal op-eds about the Euro crisis and lays the foundation for establishing a general system of image-text relations in the op-ed genre. Specifically, the paper addresses the following questions: Is there a difference between a cartoon and an illustration? Why do not op-ed illustrations have captions? What role does layout play in conveying meaning? How do ‘op-ed’ and ‘illustration’ relate to each other in terms of the metaphors and moral values employed in both of them? What is the nature of the relationship between the two? How does the illustrating process work? Should the text and image be considered as a single unit or as two separate (though related) units? Moreover, the results of this research will show that visual metaphors can exert a strong effect on individuals’ moral-political cognition.

Abstract:
This research aimed to find out how to use iconic images illustration to increase selling value of fiction works. The theoretical basis of this research was visual communication design, illustration, color, and semiotics. The method used in this research was qualitative research by doing interviews with experts who are experienced in publishing and illustration field. Another method used was observing children and fiction books which use iconic image illustration to attract consumer’s interest in order to increase books sales. The results of this study show that fiction books with iconic image illustration images have the positive response from consumers who show their interest and desire to buy them. Moreover, these results are expected to be useful for the creative industry, especially the sub-sector publishing industry when designing illustrations to be used in a book.

Abstract This article investigates the ways in which present-day monolingual dictionaries of the English language show respect towards groups of people. On the basis of the analysis of selected entries of the most recent editions of English learners’ dictionaries and the Concise Oxford Dictionary we outline five different strategies employed in these dictionaries to avoid discrimination of and offensiveness towards other people. The analysis comprises the phrasing of definitions, illustrations, the selection of examples, the choice of headwords as well as usage notes in comparison to data obtained from English corpora.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes how Robert Torrens's system of prices is applied to the aggregate economy. His personal interpretation of Say's Law is articulated with a numerical illustration and the Hawkins-Simon conditions to exemplify how the correct supply of the ingredients of capital is presented as a necessary condition for the full clearing of markets. Next, the possible causes of a shortage in effectual demand are discussed. The quantitative illustrations developed by Torrens are carefully reviewed to show how the monetary factors play a crucial role during the general glut, as well as the appropriate policy measures to stabilise the economy. The final comments reflect on the originality of Torrens's theoretical work.

Abstract:
Illustrations as an effective means of communication help children to understand what they have read, enriching at the same time their vocabulary and ultimately influencing children's motivation and achievement. The aim of this paper is to determine how teachers and illustrators perceive and understand the relationship between a text and an illustration in a primer. A qualitative research was conducted using a focus group with primary school teachers and an interview with an illustrator. The research results show that from the illustrator's and teachers' narratives one can single out, on one hand, the categories related to and explaining the relationship between a text and an illustration, and on the other hand, the categories describing the scope of the illustrator and the teachers in the process of text and illustration integration, as well as their motivation. A critical attitude of the illustrator and the teachers towards publishing, as well as the importance of illustration, was a common point in the narratives, where they emphasized that it is necessary to have a measure in order to establish the relationship between a text and an illustration in general. It was observed that the responsibility for the integration of texts and illustrations should be shared by all participants in creating the final textbook/primer, and that it is necessary to emphasize the need to connect the authors and illustrators during the creation of the relationship between a text and an illustration on one page of the primer/ textbook. It is additionally important to develop a further framework for teacher education in terms of emphasizing the importance of illustration in the learning process in teaching.

Full text
Abstract:
Within the illustrations of the ninth century Utrecht Psalter, groupings of multiple people with no imperative role in the narrative are found in large numbers. This inclusion is unique and with clear intention, and unlike other non-essential pictorial elements in the composition such as foliage or buildings, all of these figures are drawn to completion. As the images in the Utrecht Psalter show consistency in their measurements on the page, as well as through the scale of elements within the actual illustrations, direct comparisons can be made on how these figures are employed in the scene. By using digital applications to create a compositional overlay of all these groups, a concentration of figures on the left and right sides of the image is observed. This article suggests that such an arrangement provides a readable image, with human groups added in order to encourage engagement with the text of the Psalter and aid in remembering its messages.

Full text
Abstract:
Many studies show the close relationship that exists between text and illustration. In case of travel literature, this relationship is much closer, because for most of the authors of this type of literature, illustration is as necessary as the text to convey to the reader that wonderful reality that they have experienced far home. On many occasions it was the writer who illustrated the book, but on others the writer commissioned the work to a professional illustrator. The case of Louisa Tenison catches our attention, given that, despite being a drawer, she orders the illustrations that depict figures to a professional illustrator while landscapes belong to her own sketches. For our research work, it is important to emphasize how special this traveler is, because she is still one of those many forgotten ones and who also not only wrote what she saw but also drew it. With this work we intend to describe the author's need to capture both with words and with strokes her experience in Andalusia.

Full text
Abstract:
Background/Context Though there has been attention to how class differences impact children's experiences in schools and how young people perceive racial and gender differences, very little research to date has examined how young people make sense of social class differences. Purpose In this article, the authors examine young children's conceptualizations of differences between the rich and the poor to better understand children's process of classmaking. Research Design To access young children's ideas about social class, the authors examined kindergartners’, third graders’, and sixth graders’ (N = 133) drawings depicting differences between rich and poor people and their corresponding explanations of their drawings. These children attended two schools, one public serving a majority working- class population, and one private serving a majority affluent population. Findings/Results Children understand social class to be inclusive emotions, social distinctions, and social status. Children's drawings and explanations show that perpetuated ideology-justifying status quo of poverty and economic inequality. Children have complex sociocultural insights into how social class operates that manifest themselves through four domains: material, intersectional, emotional, and spatial. Conclusions/Recommendations Educators should provide more opportunities for teaching about social class, and can do so in ways that engages students in processes of classmaking that do not reinforce stereotypes and that interrupts inequality.

Full text
Abstract:
Tilting of a structure after it has been filled with hydrocarbons has the potential to allow leakage of either oil or gas depending on the original fill volume, the location of the spill point, and the degree of tilt. Here we concentrate on assessing what the economic consequences are for decisions to explore such structures when there is uncertainty on the volumes of oil and gas retained, uncertainty on the unit costs of production, the total infrastructure costs, the unit selling price of product, and on the probability that, when titled, the structure did indeed lose hydrocarbons or not. Both deterministic examples as well as stochastic illustrations are given to show how one allows for the uncertainties in attempts to assess better the worth of proceeding, to undertake exploration. The dominant contributions to the uncertainty of the expected worth of the tilted structure are also examined with simple illustrations to show how one goes about determining where more effort is needed to narrow the range of uncertainty of those parameters causing the greatest relative fraction of the uncertainty on the exploration assessment value.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter looks at the work of William de la Montagne Cary and other artists who drew pictures of Indians living their lives—pictures of peaceful Indians that often drew less attention than more action-oriented pictures of war and conflict. It studies illustrations of activities such as dancing and hunting, as well as burial rites, male–female relations, and Indians engaged in work and play—topics often overlooked in studies of Indian illustrations. Artists made these pictures to fulfill a specific journalistic function: to show white Americans what Indians looked like and how they lived their lives. Thus, the focus for many Indian pictures was on significant and visible differences between whites and Indians—ceremonies, customs, social practices, and other “Indian” activities—all of which made clear that Indians were different from civilized Americans.

Abstract:
In this chapter I introduce and quantify prior information and show how to incorporate it into the info-metrics framework. The priors developed arise from fundamental properties of the system, from logical reasoning, or from empirical observations. I start the chapter with the derivation of priors for discrete distributions, which can be handled via the grouping property, and a detailed derivation of surprisal analysis. Constructing priors for continuous distributions is more challenging. That problem is tackled via the method of transformation groups, which is related to the mathematical concept of group theory. That method works for both discrete and continuous functions. The last approaches I discuss are based on empirical information. The close relationship between priors, treatment effects, and score functions is discussed and demonstrated in the last section. Visual illustrations of the theory and numerous theoretical and applied examples are provided.

We introduce four different types of synchronization methods or “barriers” that are commonly used in current systems. Next, we elaborate how these barriers are designed and provide illustrations from the theoretical perspective. Finally, we use evaluations to show the performance trade-offs in using different barriers.

AbstractThis chapter explores the development of Nordic socio-spatial theories on nation, nationalism, and national identities. We begin by providing an overview of the body of theoretical work on nation by Nordic scholars, with attention to key authors, their main theoretical positions, and methodological orientations. We intend to show how the research area emerged by the early 1990s as a minor theme in Nordic human geography, but then developed and intensified in the subsequent decades, along with the rise of the subfield of political geography in some Nordic countries and Finland in particular. We also describe how the research field transformed in the 2000s, along with the growing interest in globalization and transnationalization. After this we move into reflections on nation and nationalism arising from our own research trajectories, and how they link with and build on the Nordic theoretical traditions. This discussion will situate our chapter both through our own work as Nordic scholars, and through empirical illustrations from Finland and Norway. We conclude by outlining current challenges and new horizons in Nordic theoretical work on nation and nationalism.

Abstract:
AbstractDespite its vital importance, health promotion has not occupied its due place in public health in Uganda. The country is engulfed into a rising wave of both communicable and non-communicable conditions. This rising burden of both communicable and non-communicable conditions turns health promotion and palliative care essential health care packages; though there is little to show that these two important programs are getting vital support at policy and service delivery levels. A new theoretical framework that is anchored into sociocultural issues is essential in guiding the design and delivery of both health promotion and palliative care in Uganda. The salutogenic theory puts socio-cultural issues at the centre of developing health promotion and palliative care and, seems to solve this dilemma. In this chapter, illustrations from indigenous communities in Uganda are employed to demonstrate the challenges to the health promotion and palliative care agenda in the country and how they can be addressed. Uganda Ministry of Health should develop robust structures within public health for development of health promotion and palliative care in the country. Research should be conducted on the effectiveness of the current strategies on health promotion and palliative care and their cultural sensitivity and appropriateness. Given the limited resources available for development of health care in Uganda, as an overall strategy, health promotion and palliative care should be anchored in public health and its (public health) resources.

AbstractMoving interfaces are key components of many dynamic industrial processes, in which complex interface physics determine much of the underlying action and performance. Level set methods, and their descendents, have been valuable in providing robust mathematical formulations and numerical algorithms for tracking the dynamics of these evolving interfaces. In manufacturing applications, these methods have shed light on a variety of industrial processes, including the design of industrial inkjet plotters, the mechanics of electrojetting, shape and evolution in industrial foams, and rotary bell devices in automotive painting. In this review, we discuss some of those applications, illustrating shared algorithmic challenges, and show how to tailor these methods to meet those challenges.

Abstract In this chapter, we show how multiplicative components that capture the underlying structures of migration flow tables can be used to inform forecasts of interstate migration in Australia. For our illustration, we decompose 5-year census migration flow tables by state or territory of origin, state or territory of destination, 5-year age group and sex for seven census time periods from 1981–1986 to 2011–2016. The components are described over time and then fitted with time series models to produce holdout sample forecasts of interstate migration with measures of uncertainty. Goodness-of-fit statistics and calibration are then used to identify the best fitting models. The results of this research provide (i) insights into the different migration patterns of an important aspect of subnational population growth in Australia and (ii) potential inputs for standard or multiregional cohort component projection models.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter explores how television authorship is developed as a gendered and serial narrative which accompanies – and seeks to influence – reception practices. Beyond the suggestive approaches of adaptation studies or transmedia storytelling, it argues that any analysis of The Walking Dead television show has to consider how the show aspires to a superior status over the chronologically earlier comic book series which it resigns to the status of paratext. Based on work on paratexts by Gérard Genette, Jonathan Gray, and Jason Mittell, as well as the academic and popular discourse on (television) authorship, the chapter focuses on processes of authorization in the franchise. Paratext seriality describes how the show instrumentalizes paratexts (especially serialized ones like the comic book’s letter column and its accompanying talk show Talking Dead) to telegraph textual authority. Aside from an analysis of the gendered serial authorship practices, two specific case studies dealing with character deaths and with sexualized violence serve as illustrations of paratext seriality.

While many organizations and individuals use social media and information technologies (IT) to overcome the limitations of time and space, they often experience unintended consequences from increased immediacy and access. How can they achieve the desirable changes and address the negative effects that can result? This article presents a systematic framework that managers can use to proactively identify ways to either leverage or mitigate the increased immediacy and access. Specific examples are used as illustrations to demonstrate how these issues can be anticipated and used for competitive advantage. They are not offered as specific “prescriptions” for any one organization. Rather, they show how the framework can inform managers as they evaluate proposals for, and implementation plans of, new information systems in their organizations.

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT With plenty of latest discoveries witnessed from East Africa, the petroleum atlas reshaping is expected where some new faces (e.g. Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania, etc.) may play emergent roles besides traditional oil countries in Africa. Due to general lack of infrastructure construction and capital investment, it still need some time for large-scale commercial production and the involvement of international oil companies is indispensable in the process. Dramatic price drop has tremendously stricken both governments and international oil companies (IOC) in oil-producing countries since 2014. The effectiveness in which governments and IOCs adjust to this reality will determine the extent and the pace of future development of these countries’ oil sectors. Most IOCs were struggling to cut capital expenditure and control operating cost to survive, and how to maintain and attract investment is regarded as huge challenges by many governments in the downward scenario. Apart from resource factors, petroleum fiscal terms are one of the key factors in the investment decision for IOCs. The attractiveness of fiscal contracts has a fundamental effect on profitability of petroleum projects, and thus an important indicator for evaluating investment feasibility in the country. The paper gives an overview on fiscal transformation in most Africa oil countries, some of them were trying to increase government share in oil profits to support social expenditures, and others have provided fiscal incentives to absorb further investment in the oil sector. It shows that fiscal policies in the countries where national economy relies more on oil revenues are less stable during the past decade. Some upstream projects in Nigeria are illustrated to show the impacts of different contract terms on economic benefits. Thus with new government's coming into power, most IOCs are holding back further investment and expecting negotiation with the authorities for confirmation on fiscal terms applied in their assets to avoid potential contractual risks, like PIB, Side letter, etc. The implications regarding petroleum regime are summarized based on the experience from Nigeria for emerging countries in East Africa, relatively stable fiscal policy with some incentives to encourage exploration activities would be helpful to petroleum industry. Lastly, investment suggestions are presented with priorities to promote business development in the area.

Abstract:
Requirements for moving beyond the current state of the art in polymer-matrix composites for large commercial and military transport aircraft via the use of liquid molding will be presented. These requirements will be rooted in understandings of regulatory safety requirements and in recent developments in materials and modeling. Key parameters such as the interrelationships between modeling, quality control, and scale-up will be discussed in some detail with a focus on how these need to be matured or adapted for aerospace usage and how they address the persistent need for improved performance at reduced weight. Ongoing work in several technologies will be presented relative to how they fit into the maturation of next-generation composites and tools for developing new composite materials. Scale-up will be illustrated by examples in modeling moving up from material-property-level requirements to system-level performance and moving down to micro and submicron level. These illustrations will be used to show an approach for effectively moving between scales in modeling, testing, fabrication, and design.

This paper focuses on providing a guide for improving the understanding of how joint movement is controlled by the musculoskeletal anatomy of the lower extremities for designers of lower extremity exoskeletons and prosthetics. The lower extremity has been subdivided by the three major joints: the hip, the knee, and the ankle. For each of these joints, attention is given to which muscles control the motion or degrees of freedom with respect to these joints. Based on the published medical anatomy and physiology literature, the muscles are organized in tables by their major innervations and primary motion (flexion, extension adduction, abduction, etc.) and then by secondary and more complex motion. The provided illustrations show the location of the major flexors and extensors for the three major joints. These drawings and tables can provide a quick reference and understanding of the motion at each of the lower extremity joints, when designing intuitive and comfortable lower limb prosthetics or exoskeletons, particularly those that incorporate surface electromyography (EMG) sensors for sensing voluntary motion and machine learning (ML) for control.

Abstract:
Patient Empowerment (PE) allows patients to be more active in managing their own health and quality of life. The aim of this paper is to analyze how trust affects PE, in the context of healthcare information systems. An interview study was conducted concerning patients’ online access to electronic healthcare records. Results show that PE requires that patients trust the information that healthcare professionals and their electronic health record systems provide. Without trust, patients cannot control their own participation in relation to the healthcare professionals. This may result in a diminished ability to participate in the healthcare processes regarding their own care. Practical implications include acquired knowledge about and awareness of how trust influences PE, with particular emphasis on healthcare professionals. A trust model is presented that illustrates the trustor-trustee dimensions of PE. This model has both theoretical and practical implications in its illustration of how trust and PE connect.

Abstract:
Given a large-scale rhythmic time series containing mostly normal data segments (or `beats'), can we learn how to detect anomalous beats in an effective yet efficient way? For example, how can we detect anomalous beats from electrocardiogram (ECG) readings? Existing approaches either require excessively high amounts of labeled and balanced data for classification, or rely on less regularized reconstructions, resulting in lower accuracy in anomaly detection. Therefore, we propose BeatGAN, an unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm for time series data. BeatGAN outputs explainable results to pinpoint the anomalous time ticks of an input beat, by comparing them to adversarially generated beats. Its robustness is guaranteed by its regularization of reconstruction error using an adversarial generation approach, as well as data augmentation using time series warping. Experiments show that BeatGAN accurately and efficiently detects anomalous beats in ECG time series, and routes doctors' attention to anomalous time ticks, achieving accuracy of nearly 0.95 AUC, and very fast inference (2.6 ms per beat). In addition, we show that BeatGAN accurately detects unusual motions from multivariate motion-capture time series data, illustrating its generality.

Abstract:
Conformity assessment, focused on risks quantification, evolved from being binary to being probabilistic. In fact, new methods described by the standard ISO CEI guide 98-4 [1] and FD X 07-039 [2] show how measurement uncertainty is integrated in the conformity assessment (FD X 07-039 : “Role of measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment – implementation of NF ISO/IEC Guide 98-4 – illustration through industrial case studies”). In such a probabilistic framework, the conformity assessment relies on two quantities: the measurement with its related uncertainty and the measurand prior knowledge. Both quantities are combined statistically to determine measurand posterior knowledge, and to quantify a global or specific risks either for the producer or the consumer. The standard also defines how integrating those two quantities improves the reliability of decisions based on measurements. This work will first present a clarification of the probabilistic approach described by the FD X07-039. Then, the measurand prior knowledge use will be explained. Finally, future metrology applications caused by such an approach will be listed.

Abstract:
Tutorials are a great way to capture students' attention in science classes. Particularly in the teaching of Physics, the students need to have a good focus and clear explanations when they engage in applied projects, such as the assembling of an Arduino robot. The tutorials provide, with great clarity and accuracy, step-by-step instructions on how to perform such projects, enabling the students to replay, stop or move forward to certain video sequences whenever needed. When posted online, it becomes a widely accesible resource that the students can access at any time and integrate in their learning process. This article aims to show how, together with some of my students, I have designed, filmed and edited tutorials for the Physics class which we later uploaded on an online platform, thus making them available for all the other students. This student-made online data base of tutorials was meant to provide a link between the field of physics, information technology and electronics which the students could incorporate into their projects. Some tutorials were concerned with the applied physics projects showing, for example, how to create a solar panel, a water-pressure activated rocket or how to build a weather station for school. Others were meant to help students operate with data acquisition devices and with programming environments such as LabVIEW, which is extremely useful for virtual physics experiments. Moreover, a tutorial about the use of an ARDUINO platform was needed in order to show how students could create simple robotic devices. Last, but not least, some tutorials were used as learning materials in class, illustrating the way theory is applied in concrete science projects.

Abstract:
In recent years considerable efforts have been made to produce devices which discriminate between laser light and diffuse (ambient) light.1 All these investigations were based on differences between the spectral characteristics, i.e., the temporal coherence properties of the light. We first summarize the results of a recent analysis2 which indicates that discrimination on the basis of spatial coherence might also be possible. More specifically, we consider light of any state of coherence incident on a scattering medium, and we show how the angular distributions of the scattered intensity depend both on the properties of the scattering medium and on the degree of spatial coherence of the incident light. We then illustrate the results by application to Bragg holographic filtering. Some experimental results illustrating the theoretical analysis are also presented.

Abstract:
This paper is in support of our recent efforts to designing intelligent defenses against false data injection attacks, where false data are injected in the raw data used to control the reactor. Adopting a game-model between the attacker and the defender, we focus here on how the attacker may estimate reactor state in order to inject an attack that can bypass normal reactor anomaly and outlier detection checks. This approach is essential to designing defensive strategies that can anticipate the attackers moves. More importantly, it is to alert the community that defensive methods based on approximate physics models could be bypassed by the attacker who can approximate the models in an online mode during a lie-in-wait period. For illustration, we employ a simplified point kinetics model and show how an attacker, once gaining access to the reactor raw data, i.e., instrumentation readings, can inject small perturbations to learn the reactor dynamic behavior. In our context, this equates to estimating the reactivity feedback coefficients, e.g., Doppler, Xenon poisoning, etc. We employ a non-parametric learning approach that employs alternating conditional estimation in conjunction with discrete Fourier transform and curve fitting techniques to estimate reactivity coefficients. An Iranian model of the Bushehr reactor is employed for demonstration. Results indicate that very accurate estimation of reactor state could be achieved using the proposed learning method.
