<p><em>As was the case in not just a few of his contemporaries, Francisco Cabrero's modern advent is centred on his initial trip, in this case the one made to Italy in 1941. The historiography of Spanish architecture in general and the specific studies on the architect have shown the impact and the scope of this two-month trip on his later career. Fleeing the ruling academicism in Spain, Cabrero 'discovers' in Italy the rationalist and abstract expression of monumentality. Nevertheless, the access to a wide photographic reportage —unpublished up to now— accomplished by the architect during the trip, allows us to document his journey but also to put in to question those claims. The photographs introduce us for the first time to Cabrero the photographer —to his particular way of constructing an image— and as a result they pave the way for the recognition of this visual tool as an exploratory instrument of the gaze to the detriment of the pencil and notebook. Above all and paradoxically, they contradict the supposed fascination for modern language in Cabrero since discovering that historical architecture was almost the only objective of his selective photographic look and as a result, the primary source, of his transforming inspiration.</em></p>

It gives us great pleasure to present the 23rd issue of the magazine as a heterogeneous collection that brings together selected articles submitted in response to three different calls for contributions. On the one hand, we bring the volume focusing on media archaeology to a close with this second series of texts. The section on Digital Humanities also comprises an interesting series of contributions related to the 3rd Congress of the International Society of Hispanic Digital Humanities. The last section of this issue brings together another set of articles submitted in response to the magazine’s regular call for contributions, including different perspectives on issues that fall within the magazine’s scope of interest. All the sections and research contained here are unavoidably disparate from each other, yet, when taken as a whole, the reader will realise that there is a common thread throughout this issue, focusing on the impact of certain technologies have had on the way we view the past. The historical scope of technologies does not only operate in a single direction, but rather throughout time in its entirety.

Video Performance

This chapter discusses the one-to-one interactions between participants in the video performance In[bodi]mental. It presents personal accounts of users' body swapping experiences through real-time Head Mounted Display systems. These inter-corporeal encounters are articulated through the lens of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and his work on the “Mirror Stage” (1977), phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1968) and his writings on the Chiasm, and anthropologist Rane Willerslev's (2007) research on mimesis. The study of these positions provides new insights into the blurred relationship between the corporeal Self and the digital Other. The way the material body is stretched across these divisions highlights the way digital media is the catalyst in this in[bodied] experience of be[ing] in the world. The purpose of this chapter is to challenge the relationship between the body and video performance to appreciate the impact digital media has on one's perception of a single bounded self and how two selves become an inter-corporeal experience shared through the technology.

&lt;p&gt;Retrieval of sea ice depth from satellite altimetry relies on knowledge of snow depth in the conversion of freeboard measurements to sea ice thickness. This remains the largest source of uncertainty in calculating sea ice thickness. In order to go beyond the use of a seasonal snow climatology, namely the one by Warren created from measurements collected during the drifting stations in 1937 and 1954&amp;#8211;1991, we have developed as part of an ESA Arctic+ project several novel snow on sea ice pan-Arctic products, with the ultimate goal to resolve for the first time inter-annual and seasonal snow variability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our products are inter-compared and calibrated with each other to guarantee multi-decadal continuity, and also compared with other recently developed snow on sea ice modelling &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;and satellite based &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;products. Quality assessment and uncertainty estimates are provided at a gridded level and as a function of sea ice cover characteristics such as sea ice age, and sea ice type.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We investigate the impact of the spatially and temporally varying snow products on current satellite estimates of sea ice thickness and provide an update on the sea ice thickness uncertainties. We pay particular attention to potential biases of the seasonal ice growth and inter-annual trends.&lt;/p&gt;

Gordon Peterson—early music specialist, professional musician, and former tenured music professor—was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at the age of forty-five, by which time he had suffered through decades of misdiagnoses, misguided psychiatric treatments, and despair. “For the first time ever,” he recalls, “I felt the correctness of the diagnosis.” Gordon attributes many of the hardships he has endured to being “wired all funny” with Asperger’s, but he sees the condition as the primary source of his musical talent, intellectual prowess, and fertile imagination as well. “In my mind,” he says, “there is an impossibly complex web of musical and non-musical cultural connections across time and geographic location . . . . I see a ribbon-like time line [that] stretches back from today all the way to the beginning of recorded history, and before . . . and I can walk around in it, looking at the instruments, hearing the sounds, hearing the language.” Asperger’s is “my superpower,” Gordon attests, but as the chapter chronicles, that superpower exacts a very high toll on him in terms of the anguish and turmoil it brings.

This concluding chapter addresses the impact of the Holocaust on established forms of collective Jewish identity and commitment in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The profound rupture in both Jewish and general life during the war and the physical dislocation that followed meant that thousands of survivors in western Europe had to rediscover or discover for the first time their place among other Jews and among their fellow citizens. In attempting to find a new rationale for Jewish survival, leading Jewish figures of all stripes recognized that there could be no simple return to what they believed were the pre-war polarities of religious orthodoxy on the one hand and assimilationism on the other. With the aid of money from reparation payments and the guidance of organizations like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), French, Belgian, and Dutch Jewish leaders created new institutions, such as Jewish community centres, summer camps, and sports clubs, to appeal to a mobile and unsettled population. While not all of these efforts were immediately successful, what slowly emerged were new forms of Jewish consciousness that enabled young men and women to express their commitment to a shared fate outside the traditional framework of formal religious and educational institutions.

The analysis of the historical documentary sources together with evidence from the geological record is essential to understand the impact and processes triggered by tsunamis on the Canary Islands. This archipelago has been affected by tsunamis caused by different geological processes, of which the most studied have been those generated by prehistoric mega-landslides. However, there is also evidence of those produced by distant tsunamigenic sources. An exhaustive review of all documentation available was made, identifying the existence of at least four seismically triggered tsunami episodes (1755, 1761, 1941 and 1969), the majority with an epicenter in the Azores-Gibraltar boundary. In this work, several tsunamis are cited for the first time, such as the one produced by the Argaga (La Gomera) landslide in 2020. Other episodes historically identified as tsunamis are discarded as they corresponded to other geological events. The effects of most historic tsunamis have gone unnoticed, having occurred in epochs of sparsely populated coastal areas. But their study allows us to infer the need for the archipelago authorities to establish preventive measures to avoid possible damage from tsunamis, especially if we consider the presently high population density of the Canarian littoral.

This article aims to analyze the impact of the policy of détente in the 1970s on the development of the German-Polish borderland and on grassroots cooperation. Opening the border for non-visa and non-passport traffic on 1 January 1972 was of great importance to mutual relations between the residents of the border regions. In the first period, German citizens used the opened border mainly for traveling to the so-called native land in order to look at their former households and houses, to “one more time cover the way back home from school.” The Polish, in turn, started shopping, mainly for children’s goods and food. It soon turned out that the German Democratic Republic had not been prepared for such a large number of Polish customers. Because of this conflicts arose and new prejudices appeared. Even so, for the first time since the war had ended the open border enabled direct contacts. New acquaintances were made. The number of Polish-German marriages significantly increased. Based on archive sources and written memoirs as well as narrative interviews this paper will investigate what influence this period had on the Polish-German relations in the border regions and how it is reflected in the memories of the border area residents.

Despite the undeniable advantages of innovative agricultural production technology, their adoption rate in Morocco is relatively low. In addition to research institutes and private institutions, agricultural information is provided by extension agents who are limited in terms of financial and logistical resources. In this study, we examine, on the one hand, the factors influencing the adoption of mobile phones to access extension services. On the other, we measure the impact of this adoption on wheat production and farmers’ income in the province of Settat (Morocco). In this study we use data collected through a survey of 130 farmers from the province of Settat (Morocco). As analysis methods, we use stratified sampling, descriptive statistics, and the propensity score matching model. The results revealed that farmers who use their mobile phones for extension purposes have slightly higher wheat production than those who do not. The developed model showed that the adoption of mobile phone-based extension services is influenced by farmer's age, educational level, primary source of income, the use of inorganic fertilizers, access to credit and the availability of road infrastructure. The study is a contribution to the efforts of various national stakeholders who have launched a national strategy focused on the digitalisation of extension services.

The article deals with the problem of a person’s conscious choice between happiness and suffering. At first glance, happiness and suffering are two different paths, and one should choose which road to take. On the one hand, suffering is an obstacle on the way to oneself, to a happy existence. On the other hand, one chooses suffering and happiness willingly, happiness is proportionate to suffering. One should not forget that existence has no meaning if it brings merely pain and dissatisfaction, so it is very important to strive to be happy. Throughout the entire history of humanity, the problem of happiness and the search for the best way to be released from suffering is a pressing issue. The relevance of the problem is determined by the particular significance of the concepts under study, because every person’s natural desire, regardless of the era and area of residence, is to be happy and free. The concepts of “happiness” and “suffering” are not only philosophical but also sociocultural phenomena that expound the axiological and spiritual and moral aspects of human existence. The study features quotes from thinkers of different ages and cultures that to an extent engaged in interpreting the content of the phenomena of happiness and suffering. The purpose of the study is to expound the sociocultural content of the phenomena of “happiness” and “suffering”, their causes, and the conditions for coexistence. The main methods of the study are the method of systemic analysis, the comparative method, and the typological method. The novelty of the study consists in the fact that the authors examine the phenomena of “happiness” and “suffering” together for the first time. Although the phenomena are an integral part of human activity.

Rationale, aims and objectives When choosing a particular psychotherapy, psychotherapists are expected to take into account their clients’ preferences, needs, and values, their own professional experience, and what is currently known regarding the real impact of these therapies. Psychotherapists widely vary the one from the other in the weight they attribute to each of these factors. We examined the way lay people judge of the appropriateness of therapeutic decisions taken by clinical psychologists.Methods 206 participants were presented with 24 vignettes depicting the way a psychotherapist has selected therapy. They were composed according to a three within-subject factor design: (a) the frequency with which the therapy was used in clinical practice in the area, (b) the patients’ usual level of appreciation of this therapy, and (c) the level of scientific evidence supporting the use of this therapy (strong evidence, weak evidence, unknown evidence and no evidence). The participants rated appropriateness of the decision in each case.Results For half the participants, the most important factor was the patients’ appreciation of the therapy in general. Even scientifically supported therapies were considered as only mildly appropriate if patients in general didn’t like them much. For the remaining half of participants, scientific evidence was the most important factor: Therapies that were well appreciated by patients were not viewed as appropriate if they were not scientifically grounded.Conclusions Creating authoritative multilingual web sites synthesizing the main findings regarding the impact of diverse therapies would be a way through which at least some patients could judge of the appropriateness of the technique they have been offered by their psychotherapists. Their (informed) reactions could ease changes in direction of more weight attributed to existing scientific evidence from the part of therapists.
