В статье представлена работа В.А. Фаворского над киргизским героическим эпосом Манас. В серии созданных художником рисунков нашли проявление его художественные и теоретические подходы к искусству графики и иллюстрирования книг. Для более глубокого проникновения в суть эпического произведения художник отправляется в Киргизию. Созданные им рисунки имеют не только эстетическую и этнографическую ценности. В них проявилась его теория графики, когда белый фон бумаги воспринимается в качестве белого пространства, а карандаш художника становится сродни резцу скульптора. Пространство белого повисает на штрихах рисунка. Эпический характер повествования привел к монументальности образов и композиций иллюстраций. В статье приводятся теоретические мысли художника о соединении разновременных состояний в произведении искусства, роли контура и пятна. The work of V.A. Favorsky on the Kirghiz heroic epos is presented in this article. There is a demonstration of his artistic and theoretical approaches to the graphic arts and books illustration in the series of these drawings. The artist goes to Kyrgyzstan for the deep insight into the essence of the epic work. His drawings have not only aesthetic and ethnographic value. His theory of graphic appeared there, when a white field of paper is taken as a white space, and the artists pencil became similar to a cutter of a sculpture. The space of the white paper hangs on the drawings strokes. The epic nature of the narrative led to the monumentality of the images and compositions of the illustrations. There are artists theoretical thoughts about the connection of the multitemporal conditions in the works of art, the role of contour and spot.

Abstract Adaptation studies theorists have debated the value and scope of fidelity criticism for decades, but the application of fidelity discourse from an adaptation practitioner perspective is vastly under-researched. Using a practice-based research strategy, this article describes how a consideration of fidelity discourse during the development of the web-series, Oh Hi There History, supported the development of the series as an adapted text and raised new questions about adaptation theory and practice. Oh Hi There History is an adaptation of the Founders and Survivors project’s research into Tasmanian convict history. This article considers the binary of in/fidelity in a practitioner context, analyses how fidelity taxonomies might be applied to the development of an adapted text, and explores the possibilities of applying through practice theoretical approaches to fidelity discourse around intertextuality and history-as-adaptation. By applying these theories in a new context, this article argues that practice-based research can provide new insight into fidelity discourse and new ways of understanding the role of fidelity in adaptation practice.

Abstract Background Rodents play a significant role as reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Nevertheless, their ectoparasite assemblage and host-ectoparasite associations are poorly known. This study intended to give new insights on the relationships between ectoparasites and rodents in northeastern Iran. Methods Rodents were captured using live traps during the year of 2016–2020 and their ectoparasites were collected. Parasitological indices such as infestation rate, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation were analyzed. Results A total of 284 rodents, belonging to 17 species, were trapped which infested by 178 ectoparasites from five orders Siphonaptera, Phthiraptera, Ixodida, Mesostigmata and Trombidiformes. Overall infestation rate was 50.3%. Flea Nosopsyllus fasciatus and louse Polyplax asiatica were dominated among all fleas and lice, respectively. Haemaphysalis punctata and Haemolaelaps sp. were recorded as the most abundant tick and mite, respectively. Nosopsyllus fasciatus exhibited low and Polyplax asiatica moderate host specificity. Around 64.2% of ectoparasites shared more than one host and others were singletons. Seasonal fluctuations were found in the occurrence of ectoparasite; fleas and lice were more abundant in spring and winter, respectively. Ticks demonstrated high abundance in spring and summer and mites were more common in autumn. Overall prevalence of ectoparasite on male rodents was greater than females (56.4% vs. 44.4%), while similar mean intensity were detected for both sexes. Conclusions This study extend the knowledge on the distribution, seasonality and host choice of four main groups of ectoparasites in associations with rodents. Further studies are needed to can provide deep insight into how relationships and interactions between ectoparasite and rodents are formed, and how they can be applied in epidemiology.

Effect Of Surface

Sheetlike tin disulfide (SnS2) single crystal exposed with well-defined{001}facets and flowerlike SnS2mainly exposed with{010}facets were prepared through a surfactant-free solvothermal process. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation indicated that the sheetlike SnS2showed a much higher activity than flowerlike SnS2. Theoretical and experimental results revealed that the band structure derived from the surface atomic structure played a more important role than the surface energy in the photocatalytic property. The present work has provided a deep insight into the important role of the surface energy and band structure, both of which are derived from the surface atomic structure, in the photocatalytic activity.

The Way

This book examines the dialectical role of semantic analysis within metaphysical inquiry. It argues that semantic analysis ought to be modest in its metaphysical pretensions in the sense that linguistic and conceptual analysis should not be expected to yield deep insight into either what exists or the nature of what exists. The argument turns on distinctions among narrowly linguistic semantics in the generative tradition and two varieties of broadly philosophical semantics which correspond to broad approaches to semantically infused metaphysical inquiry. In particular it distinguishes ideational semantics and metaphysical inquiry via the way of ideas, on the one hand, from referential semantics and metaphysical inquiry via the way of reference, on the other. It is argued that foundational assumptions of the generative framework are insufficient on their own to support the drawing of metaphysically immodest conclusions from the narrowly semantic premises. But it is shown that if we are determined to bridge the gap between narrowly semantic premise and metaphysical conclusion, we must augment our semantics with additional metasemantic premises. Such additional premises may come either from ideationalist or referentialist metasemantics. A number of arguments for preferring referential metasemantics over ideational metasemantics are offered. It is argued pursuing referentialist metasemantics as opposed to ideationalist metasemantics yields a semantics that is metaphysically modest. Finally it is argued that metaphysically modest should regarded as a feature rather than a bug of a semantic theory, one that serves to bring semantics into closer alignment with the special sciences generally.

In Assessing Library Space for Learning, Susan E. Montgomery has assembled a collection of articles from a broad range of practitioners, including educational development, psychology, architecture, user experience, and librarianship generally. The rich mixture of backgrounds delivers more than the promise of its title, offering the reader deep insight into the practical aspects of academic libraries. A welcome contribution in the field, addressing what is largely a dearth in the library literature regarding library space assessment generally—much less, its use for learning. What is available is generally not reflective of the substantial change that has been underway for decades: the “big shift” from a formerly “singular focus on books to a much more dynamic and ever-fluid emphasis on user experience” (53). This book brings together a working understanding of the role of library as place, with practical assessment along multiple learning axes.

The mid-nineteenth century was a highpoint of empire building, and reliable navigation across the oceans was crucial. While the effects of magnetic variation and deviation on compasses were well known by 1800, iron ships brought with them an even bigger challenge. The nautical world divided between ‘applied’ and ‘theoretical’ approaches to addressing the ‘compass problem’. This article focuses on the role of Janet Taylor, who lived and worked in the heart of this community, as a writer, teacher, inventor, chart-seller and compass adjuster, as a follower of the system of compass adjustment advocated by the Astronomer Royal, Professor George Airy. Janet Taylor’s achievements in the compass adjusting field and her interactions with the Astronomer Royal are explored, adding another insight into Mrs Taylor’s distinctive story.

Mawlana Mawdudi (may Allah be pleased with him) has made a verythought-provoking remark in his introduction to “Al Jihad fd Islam7 He writes:“It is a natural weakness of human beings. If one is defeated in a battlefieldhe is also overwhelmed in the field of knowledge. He cannot contest inpenmanship with one by whose sword he has been defeated.”lThe inferiority of Muslims in the intellectual domain is well documentedand does not need any elaboration. Now it is the task of Muslim scholarsto take up the challenge of redressing the imbalance. One area of scholarshipoften neglected by scholars is library science.The task required to Islamize science calls for immense intellectualcapacity. One should be expert not only in the field of library science butshould also possess deep insight into the faith of Islam, its culture, andcivilization. It is only through the combination of these qualities that a newcreative discipline can be produced.Library science, as developed in the West, is bound to reflect the imageof Western civilization. Subject classification, the rules for cataloguing, listsof subject headings and other techniques employed to exploit literature allportray the Western way of life.Islam has its own world view of human affairs and Islamic literaturenaturally will reflect this world view. To restrict Islam under the heading“religion” following the Western conceptualization violates the very basicconcepts of Islamic principles. The response of librarians when faced withthis challenge is to adapt the existing classification. Though such adaptationsmay be useful they not only hopelessly fail to tackle the real problem, butdistort and disfigure the serene harmony of Islamic values. What is neededis totally new and radical approach by Muslim librarians to work out a new ...
