Los ritornelli de la vida cotidiana. Experimentos epistémicos en el campo de la tecnología de la información

Aquest breu article descriu algunes maneres d'examinar el so per a comprendre la dinàmica dels mitjans escoltant-ne els senyals, ritmes, sorolls i fluctuacions amb mètodes mediatitzats o no mediatitzats. Se'n distingeixen dues modalitats: l'audificació i la sonificació, i es posa l'accent en la importància de fer detallades investigacions tecnològiques, micrològiques i microtemporals sobre la matèria dels mitjans. Finalment, s'analitzen els efectes addicionals de la combinació d'anàlisi de ritme i anàlisi de xarxes.This short essay outlines some sonic approaches to grasp the dynamics of media while listening to their signals, rhythms, noises and fluctuations by mediating or non-mediating methods. It distinguishes between two modes: namely audification and sonification. Furthermore, it emphasises the importance of detailed, micro-logical, micro-temporal and technology conscious inquires about media matters. Lastly, it will briefly contemplate the surplus effects of a combination of rhythmanalysis with network analysis. Este breve artículo describe algunas formas de abordar el sonido para comprender la dinámica de los medios escuchando sus señales, ritmos, ruidos y fluctuaciones con métodos mediatizados o no mediatizados. Se distinguen dos modalidades: la audificación y la sonificación, y se hace hincapié en la importancia de realizar detalladas investigaciones tecnológicas, micrológicas y microtemporales sobre la materia de los medios. En último lugar, se analizan los efectos adicionales de la combinación del ritmo-análisis y del análisis de redes

Counter-Algorhythmics as Prefigurative Dances of Commonism

In this essay, I both look back and forward what the concept of algo-rhythm has meant in my terms more than ten years ago at the time I came up with that ironic cacography and how it transformed into its current configuration. The essay proposes dancing as way to look at digitality in order to imagine and theorize about alternative ways to live, to move, to act within networks of body-machines we are entangled in. It proposes counter-algorhythmics as a form of resistance and tries eventually to link such a practice to the broader movement of commons-oriented activism.Not Reviewe

Take Back the Algorithms! A Media Theory of Commonistic Affordance

International audienceThis essay critiques the 'black-boxing' of many computational processes, which are argued to result in a kind of 'unaffordability' of algorithms. By engaging with current theoretical debates on 'commoning'-signifying a non-profit-oriented, solidarity-based approach to sharing, maintaining, and disseminating knowledge and experience-the essay offers a formulation of commonistic affordance in algorithmic contexts. Through the discussion of widely used computational tools such as the Viola-Jones object detection framework, radical steps towards a 'making affordable' of algorithms are outlined, and the widespread corporate propertisation of computation processes is contrasted with a speculative vision of algorithmic commoning

Digitalität tanzen!

Digitale Technologien sind eine Zumutung! Um dies zu ändern, sollten wir uns nicht von ihnen abwenden, sondern uns eingehender mit ihrer transformatorischen Macht befassen. Shintaro Miyazaki ruft dazu auf, die alternativen Rhythmen des kooperativen, solidarischen Zusammenlebens (Commoning) operabel zu machen und die Digitalität so zum Tanzen zu bringen. Er macht ein Leben vorstellbar, in dem Profit und Eigentum keine Rolle mehr spielen, sondern das nachhaltige Zusammenspiel der Bedürfnisse unserer lebendigen Ökosysteme mit jenen aller Menschen oberste Priorität hat. Hier trifft Kapitalismuskritik auf eine kritische, marxistisch-informierte Medientheorie der algorithmischen Modellierung anderer Zukünfte

Histological Observation of Regions around Bone Tunnels after Compression of the Bone Tunnel Wall in Ligament Reconstruction

The objectives of this study were to investigate the time-course of influence of compression of bone tunnel wall in ligament reconstruction on tissue around the bone tunnel and to histologically examine the mechanism of preventing the complication of bone tunnel dilation, using rabbit tibia. A model in which the femoral origin of the extensor digitorum longus tendon was cut and inserted into a bone tunnel made proximal to the tibia was prepared in the bilateral hind legs of 20 Japanese white rabbits. In each animal, a tunnel was made using a drill only in the right leg, while an undersized bone tunnel was made by drilling and then dilated by compression using a dilator to the same tunnel size as that in the right leg. Animals were sacrificed at 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after surgery (4 animals at each time point). Observation of bone tunnels by X-ray radiography showed osteosclerosis in the 2- and 4-week dilation groups. Osteosclerosis appeared as white lines around the bone tunnel on X-ray radiography. This suggests that dilation promotes callus formation in the bone tunnel wall and prevents the complication of bone tunnel enlargement after ligament reconstruction

Honeycomb Layered Frameworks with Metallophilic Bilayers

Honeycomb layered frameworks with metallophilic bilayers have garnered traction in various disciplines due to their unique configuration and numerous physicochemical and topological properties, such as fast ionic conduction, coordination chemistry, and structural defects. These properties make them attractive for energy storage applications, leading to increased attention towards their metallophilic bilayer arrangements. This Review focuses on recent advancements in this field, including characterisation techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, particularly for silver-based oxides. It also highlights strategies related to cationic-deficient phases induced by topology or temperature, expanding the compositional space of honeycomb layered frameworks with a focus on cationic bilayer architectures. The Review further discusses theoretical approaches for understanding the bilayered structure, especially concerning critical phenomena at the monolayer-bilayer phase transition. Honeycomb layered frameworks are described as optimised lattices within the congruent sphere packing problem, equivalent to a specific two-dimensional conformal field theory. The monolayer-bilayer phase transition involves a 2D-to-3D crossover. Overall, this Review aims to provide a panoramic view of honeycomb layered frameworks with metallophilic bilayers and their potential applications in the emerging field of quantum matter. It is valuable for recent graduates and experts alike across diverse fields, extending beyond materials science and chemistry.Comment: 68 pages, 24 figure
