In Colonial Legacies, Gabriella Nugent examines a generation of contemporary artists born or based in the Congo whose lens-based art attends to the afterlives and mutations of Belgian colonialism in postcolonial Congo. Focusing on three artists and one artist collective, Nugent analyses artworks produced by Sammy Baloji, Michèle Magema, Georges Senga and Kongo Astronauts, each of whom offers a different perspective onto this history gleaned from their own experiences. In their photography and video art, these artists rework existent images and redress archival absences, making visible people and events occluded from dominant narratives. Their artworks are shown to offer a re-reading of the colonial and immediate post-independence past, blurring the lines of historical and speculative knowledge, documentary and fiction. Nugent demonstrates how their practices create a new type of visual record for the future, one that attests to the ramifications of colonialism across time.

It is significant and necessary to carry out the research and development of self-lubricating bearing. The current study of metal matrix self-lubricating bearing materials is summarized. A new type of high temperature self-lubricating Ti-Al alloy bearing materials is proposed. It is light, anti-friction, anti-corrosion and high temperature resistance (600 °C). The future trend is introduced in the end of this paper.

The contributors to Nervous Systems reassess contemporary artists' and critics' engagement with social, political, biological, and other systems as a set of complex and relational parts: an approach commonly known as systems thinking. Demonstrating the continuing relevance of systems aesthetics within contemporary art, the contributors highlight the ways that artists adopt systems thinking to address political, social, and ecological anxieties. They cover a wide range of artists and topics, from the performances of the Argentinian collective the Rosario Group and the grid drawings of Charles Gaines to the video art of Singaporean artist Charles Lim and the mapping of global logistics infrastructures by contemporary artists like Hito Steyerl and Christoph Büchel. Together, the essays offer an expanded understanding of systems aesthetics in ways that affirm its importance beyond technological applications detached from cultural contexts. Contributors.

The Internet archives kept by heritage libraries are analysed, focusing specifically on that new type of expression characteristic of web culture and digital folklore, the meme. Five paradigmatic examples of heritage institutions engaging in web archive initiatives are explored: the Library of Congress, British Library, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Biblioteca Nacional de España and National Library of Australia. Specific assessment categories are defined for the study. The findings reveal a lack of collection policies for such representative objects of today’s mass culture and identify the challenges both for the custodial institutions and for research in the future.

The Neoplastic Room at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź was originally designed in 1948 by the avant-garde artist Władysław Strzemiński. Destroyed in 1950 and reconstructed in 1960, it became the focal point of the museum, with the ‘International Collection of Modern Art’ by the a.r. group being exhibited there. At the same time, it became a point of reference for contemporary artists and a strategy for building a permanent collection for the museum, as well as a reflection on how the past can give a vision of the future. This essay focuses on the gesture of ‘re-curating’ the Neoplastic Room in relation to the performative practice of the artists involved (e.g., Daniel Buren, Elżbieta Jabłońska).

Lietuviškoji ECDL testavimo sistema sukurta 2000 metais, o pirmieji testai užfiksuoti 2000 metų gruodį. Tad per praėjusius daugiau nei šešerius metus sukaupta nemaža šios sistemos naudojimo patirtis, leidžianti apibendrinti kai kuriuos testavimo dalykus, nurodyti sistemos trūkumus ir numatyti jos testavimo tolesnio tobulinimo poreikius ir galimybes. Straipsnyje analizuojami testavimo sistemos funkcionavimo ir kokybės užtikrinimo klausimai, galimybės pereiti prie testavimo taikomųjų programų aplinkose. Perėjimas siejamas su testuojamojo atliekamų veiksmų įvertinimu, klausimų ar užduočių formulavimu.Experience of using ECDL testing system and possibilities of its improvementStasys Maciulevičius, Tomas Lygutas SummaryLithuanian ECDL test engine was created in year 2000. Since the creation more than 138 000 tests were taken, more than 26 000 ECDL and ECDL start certificates were issued. The experience of more than 6 years allows to generalize on certain aspects of testing process, enables to envisage its drawbacks and possible development strategies in the future. This article overviews quality standards of ECDL testing, analyses aspects of current ECDL test engine and discusses the drawbacks of current testing technology, relates these with issues and steps required to make a transition to a new type in-application testing, mainly – evaluation of user actions, formulation of tasks.

The purpose of the article is to study «Agriculture 4.0» as a project of the future or a platform for responding to major challenges and threats to national security. The methodology of this study was based on the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization and systematization, as well as the structural-logical approach, analysis of open empirical statistical data and the graphical method. Results. The article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of the directions of digital development of agriculture. The necessity of transformation of modern techniques and technologies for managing the development of agriculture on the principles of sustainable development into a qualitatively new type – «Agriculture 4.0», digital economy or smart agriculture is substantiated. This paper focuses on four main technologies: the Internet of Things, blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence. Conclusions. The Agriculture 4.0 project is comprised of a variety of existing or emerging technologies such as robotics, nanotechnology, synthetic protein, cell agriculture, gene editing technology, artificial intelligence, blockchain and machine learning, which could have overarching impact on future agricultural and food systems. It can ensure the creation of economic, environmental and social benefits and be a response to challenges and threats to national security.
