    The Absence of Love and Hopes of Shion Uzuki in the Xenosaga Trilogy

    Full text link
    Among video games, The Xenosaga Trilogy is widely recognized due to its complex storyline. The psychological struggle of the main character, Shion Uzuki, is one of the aspects that drives the story from the beginning up to its conclusion. Despite her seemingly bright personality, Shion has an absence of love and hopes, as she lives her life monotonously without any set goal. It later leads her to develop a strong attachment to KOS-MOS, an android. As such, in this study, we want to analyze the reasons Shion has the absence of love and hopes in the first place and the ways she struggles to recover from that absence. In order to answer these questions, we use 3 psychological theories, namely Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Transference, and Countertransference. We find out that Shion's absence of love and hopes is apparently caused by her traumatic past and her PTSD. As a unconscious response to this, Shion tries to recover by using transference. This attempt fails, but Shion is finally healed thanks to KOS-MOS' countertransference. In conclusion, Shion fully recovers from her traumatic past and PTSD because of KOS-MOS' countertransference instead of her own transference

    The prospects of entrepreneurship in the formation of new hi-tech markets in the Baltic Sea region

    Full text link
    The article offers an analytical review of the prospects for the formation of new hi-tech markets in the Baltic Sea region with the participation of small and medium businesses. In view of the essential features of entrepreneurship, its prospects in the development and implementation of innovations seem to be quite attractive. However, in the current economic context, growth requires special measures. The authors analyse the measures taken by the European Union and individual countries in order to strengthen the participation of small and medium business in R&D and innovation, describe conditions which are necessary for unlocking innovative potential, identify new industries that might become drivers of innovative economy in Europe. The authors also offer a country-specific list of basic markets, which can be developed by small and medium enterprises in a short-term perspective. In the structure of the Baltic Sea region a special position is held by the Nordic countries - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland - major regional innovators, as well as a group of South-eastern regions that serve as innovation consumers. Best hopes rest with information and communications technologies and biotechnologies, which are expected to become the centre of major clusters of small and medium enterprises

    On the possibility to adopt the historical practice of applying technologies for land fertility increase in Eastern Prussia at agricultural enterprises of the Kaliningrad region

    This article considers the features of East Prussian land use system, whose crucial component was technologies for land fertility increase. A special package of measures in the framework of melioration and irrigation activities accounted for the high productivity of agriculture in this territory despite the fact that the local climate conditions can hardly be called perfect according to the well-known principles of agricultural science. The authors offer an overview of scientific approaches to the reconstruction and practical application of ideas and principles of progressive agriculture consistent with a more general area of organic agriculture. Special attention is paid to the modern agricultural practice in the territory of the Kaliningrad region — former East Prussia — and the possibilities to use the methods for increasing land fertility that were intensively employed by Prussians

    Security Provisioning in Cloud Environments using Dynamic Expiration Enabled Role based Access Control Model

    In cloud environment the role based access control (RBAC) system model has come up with certain promising facilities for security communities. This system has established itself as highly robust, powerful and generalized framework for providing access control for security management. There are numerous practical applications and circumstances where the users might be prohibited to consider respective roles only at certain defined time periods. Additionally, these roles can be invoked only on after pre-defined time intervals which depend on the permission of certain action or event. In order to incarcerate this kind of dynamic aspects of a role, numerous models like temporal RBAC (TRBAC) was proposed, then while this approach could not deliver anything else except the constraints of role enabling. Here in this paper, we have proposed robust and an optimum scheme called Dynamic expiration enabled role based access control (DEERBAC) model which is efficient for expressing a broad range of temporal constraints. Specifically, in this approach we permit the expressions periodically as well as at certain defined time constraints on roles, user-role assignments as well as assignment of role-permission. According to DEERBAC model, in certain time duration the roles can be further restricted as a consequence of numerous activation constraints and highest possible active duration constraints. The dominant contributions of DEERBAC model can the extension and optimization in the existing TRBAC framework and its event and triggering expressions. The predominant uniqueness of this model is that this system inherits the expression of role hierarchies and Separation of Duty (SoD) constraints that specifies the fine-grained temporal semantics. The results obtained illustrates that the DEERBAC system provides optimum solution for efficient user-creation, role assignment and security management framework in cloud environment with higher user count and the simultaneous rolepermission,

    Biodigital publics: personal genomes as digital media artifacts

    Get PDF
    The recent proliferation of personal genomics and direct-to-consumer (DTC) genomics has attracted much attention and publicity. Concern around these developments has mainly focused on issues of biomedical regulation and hinged on questions of how people understand genomic information as biomedical and what meaning they make of it. However, this publicity amplifies genome sequences which are also made as internet texts and, as such, they generate new reading publics. The practices around the generation, circulation and reading of genome scans do not just raise questions about biomedical regulation, they also provide the focus for an exploration of how contemporary public participation in genomics works. These issues around the public features of DTC genomic testing can be pursued through a close examination of the modes of one of the best known providers—23andMe. In fact, genome sequences circulate as digital artefacts and, hence, people are addressed by them. They are read as texts, annotated and written about in browsers, blogs and wikis. This activity also yields content for media coverage which addresses an indefinite public in line with Michael Warner’s conceptualisation of publics. Digital genomic texts promise empowerment, personalisation and community, but this promise may obscure the compliance and proscription associated with these forms. The kinds of interaction here can be compared to those analysed by Andrew Barry. Direct-to-consumer genetics companies are part of a network providing an infrastructure for genomic reading publics and this network can be mapped and examined to demonstrate the ways in which this formation both exacerbates inequalities and offers possibilities for participation in biodigital culture

    During the study of the phase formation process in Ca-R-Nb-M-O systems (R=La, Bi, M=Mo, W), an attempt was made to obtain single-phase compounds of CaRNbMO8 composition by the standard ceramic technique. In addition, samples based on LaNbO4, CaWO4, BiNbO4 were also synthesized by the standard ceramic technique. The phase composition of the samples was studied by XRD analysis. The electrical conductivity of the obtained solid solutions and potential composite materials was investigated by impedance spectroscopy
