The Relationship

This article discusses the relationship between ethics and ideology and how this relationship forms the basis of the practice of BloodWater Theatre, a collective I formed to explore equality in collaborative theatre-making. I highlight the prevalence of inequality, even in oppositional theatre, and argue for Dialectical Collaborative Theatre (DCT), a research/production/performance methodology I developed to interrupt hegemonic collaborative theatre practice. I discuss the development of DCT, derived from Marx’s theory of ‘capital’ and ‘cooperation’, analysing BloodWater Theatre’s practical exploration of the tensions between performance as product and as process. I propose a rethinking of the enduring association of ‘utility’ with capitalist objectives of productivity and profit, proposing instead Bentham’s ethical formulations of utility. I argue that the relationship between material and non-material ideology should be explored, to facilitate utopian ideals and reposition ethics in collaborative theatre practice today.

Phka2 Gene

Background: The experiment aimed to investigate polymorphisms in exon 2 of the PHKA2 gene and investigate the relationship between identified single nucleotide polymorphism and udder type traits in Sahiwal cows. Udder morphometry is being used as a forecaster of production performance in cows since older times. Finding the variants associated with these traits in largely variable region of PHKA2 gene can prove to be highly beneficial. Methods: DNA isolated from Sahiwal cows was analysed by DNA sequencing. Nine udder type and five teat types were measured for each animal according to procedure followed by International committee of animal recording (2012). Result: Three SNPs g.124497381C greater than T, X:124497248 G greater than A and X:124497189 C greater than T were identified. Recessive homozygotes were negligible as mutant allele exhibited very low ranging frequency (from 0.02 to 0.08) for the targeted loci. Identified point mutation g.124497381C greater than T was found to be significantly (p less than 0.05) associated with distance between teats and central ligament, SNP X: 124497248G greater than A with rear udder width, fore udder attachment, udder depth, udder length and teat length (p less than 0.05) and SNP X: 124497189 C greater than T with udder length and rear udder height (p less than 0.05). Interaction of identified SNPs and udder traits highlighted the gene’s potential as a candidate gene for selecting for conformation traits in Indian Sahiwal cattle.

The Relationship

The article makes two theoretical interventions to engage with current scholarship on digital labour. First, the author complicates the relationship between culture and production by bringing the former from the “superstructure” in the classical Marx’s framework to the “base.” As various cultural production, consumption, and economic activities converging onto digital, networked media eco-system, digital labour is indeed the indispensable source for capitals’ accumulation of surplus and, more importantly, for cultural construction around production process. How labourers perceive their relations and interactions to the digital production process as crucial as which capacity they rely on to perform their labour. Culturalization of production process (re)draws the boundaries for desirable skills and constructs ideal digital workers with normative behaviours.  Second, precisely because the production process has become normative construction site, meanings and values of labouring are subject to broader social and cultural context including prior established global inequality and cultural differences.

In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the city government of Augsburg, Germany, struggled to maintain religious peace as the confessional boundaries between its Catholic and Protestant communities hardened. As tensions gradually rose, city officials feared and scrutinized the disruptive potential of the psalms and chorales sung by Augsburg's Protestant majority. Those suspected of owning, singing, or distributing inflammatory songs were subject to imprisonment, interrogation, torture, and exile. When an Imperial decree established a fully Catholic city government in March 1629, the authorities tightened this scrutiny, banning Protestant singing entirely in public and private and using a network of informants to catch violators. A remarkably well-preserved collection of criminal interrogation records in Augsburg dramatizes city officials' concern about religious song and their attempts to restrict its cultivation through coercive measures. These records, which preserve the testimony of suspects and witnesses as well as original evidence (such as manuscript or printed songs), show the ways in which local authorities tried to control singing that they felt threatened the public peace. At the same time, these sources give us unparalleled insight into the production, performance, and circulation of religious songs. Although the interrogations reveal much about how and where songs——often contrafacta of well-known psalms or chorales——were written and performed, the authorities were especially intent on finding out how they originated, who bought, sold, and sang them, and why. These exchanges between interrogators and suspects provide a starting point for an analysis of the relationship between singing, religion, and criminality in an early modern urban environment.

Meanwhile, it can also be designed technology and production performance modules based the ERP system platform. Focus on design the production performance of functional modules and interface combined with 1450 actual production process. Production data to be collected need to be establishing the simulation model of the node .Do achieve the simulation of the actual production process. Meantime, the simulation data will be collected to the production performance module through the interface with the real-time database. Chongqing four steel companies as state Enterprises, it should be attached great importance to enterprise information. It has not basically realized the bottom of the production process control system, but also the initial establishment of the upper information management system. However, the underlying automation system and upper management information systems are not integrated. This situation seriously affects the application of effective information systems. The method can only deal with the current manual operations, which leads to the following series of questions: the basis of the data delay line failure; Based data acquisition product line transmission efficiency is low and error rate is high; Production site data scattered in many different processes link manually using the original production data acquisition and transmission are difficult to track products from production through to finished off the assembly line of the whole process; Top manufacturing information system based on production data can not directly access to hard to complete implementation of its functions. In response to these problems, Chongqing four steel companies build MES system, marketing integration, the information management systems and process control systems integration as a whole, and thus the implementation of ERP systems and decision support systems, and further enhance their core competitiveness.[1,7]

The Relationship

It is shown that increasing the role of control methods, identifying patterns and accuracy of performing technological operations, establishing the relationship between the characteristics of the technological process and the yield of suitable products, will ensure the reproducibility of technology and the formation of instrument structures with specified parameters. In the technological process of production, instrument structures are formed and constructive and technological foundations are implemented, on which the specified parameters are established in technological and final tests. Providing the specified parameters of device structures, depending on the production processes, is carried out on the basis of increasing the dielectric strength of oxide layers, improving the production process, and reducing the number of defects in oxide films. Improving the cleanliness during the production process allows you to reduce the level of defective structures. The inconsistency of the coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials used is the cause of failures of elements of integral electronics and a decrease in their reliability. Analysis of thermal effects and associated mechanical loads allows one to assess the optimality of the selected materials and to clarify the likely failure mechanisms. Knowledge of the failure mechanisms makes it possible to calculate the reliability of the device at the design stage, as well as to predict the reliability of the equipment being developed. The reproducibility of the technology is ensured by conducting a statistical analysis of the technological process, containing statistical processing, establishing statistical relationships between parameters, determining the regularities of the technological process, constructing regression models for the relationship between the yield of good products and modes of technological operations, and analyzing the stability of the technological process. The traceability of the relationship between the parameters of instrument structures and the technology of their manufacture allows to reduce the level of their defectiveness, statistical regulation, based on the measured values of the parameters, and determining their position relative to the regulation limits, ensures the accuracy of the production process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the profitability of the firm and its R&D expenditures. We separate R&D expenditures in two main categories, R&D that focuses on the product differentiation and R&D that concerns improvements in production process. The latter leads to more efficient production, which can be measured by labour productivity. We estimate our model using cross section analysis and test the significance of each one of rhe R&D expenditures in firms profitability. Our model was applied to the Greek chemical industry, for a data set of 124 enterprises, in two distinct years, 1991 and 2001. Our findings support that the role of productivity is growing within time.
