“Forget The Rest ...”: Notes On Magnetic Tape And Other Antiquated Media As Archives Of Afro-Atlantic Liturgy, David Font-Navarrete Oct 2024

“Forget The Rest ...”: Notes On Magnetic Tape And Other Antiquated Media As Archives Of Afro-Atlantic Liturgy, David Font-Navarrete

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

The virtuosic complexity of Afro-Cuban orisha music has led scholars and artists to enshrine it as a “classical” tradition, and it has become one of most iconic and closely-studied sacred music traditions of the historical Afro-Atlantic. This essay traces the legacies of several analog-era multimedia technologies in orisha music traditions: reel-to-reel and cassette tapes; limited edition and out-of-print books and phonograph discs; ephemeral texts such as album liner notes; and photographic negatives, prints, and slides. The tapes and photos — along with a vast body of informal, unpublished, and out-of-print documents of Afro-Cuban orisha liturgy — are seldom archived by …


Coltrane’S A Love Supreme: Mediations Of Immediacy In Jazz Ritual And Recitation, James R. W. Crockford Oct 2024

Coltrane’S A Love Supreme: Mediations Of Immediacy In Jazz Ritual And Recitation, James R. W. Crockford

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

This paper explores the ritualized performance ethic of John Coltrane’s later career, which is charged with a determined exploration of freedom and spiritual ascendance through participative and gestural immediacy. Conceiving of this music as a spiritual and political tool for embodied transformation, this paper traces this ethic at play in Coltrane’s iconic 1965 album A Love Supreme, identifying ways the work effects a mediation of immediacy. Through focus on the album’s closing “Psalm” recitation, its parallels in Coltrane’s other works, and their analogue in traditions of ecstatic liturgical and political oratory, this paper demonstrates the consistent priority Coltrane gives …


The Development Of Central American Communities In Western Europe, Jonathan S. Valenzuela Mejia Oct 2024

The Development Of Central American Communities In Western Europe, Jonathan S. Valenzuela Mejia

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

Central Americans in the past 50 years have been migrating in larger and larger numbers. This is mostly caused by civil wars, economic turmoil, and political instability. The number of migrants has only increased over time and the United States has been the main destination for Central Americans and houses the largest diaspora from the region. However, in recent years, Central Americans have begun to migrate in larger numbers to Europe due to increased difficulties in migrating to the United States, and because of visa-free access to most European countries and a more streamlined asylum process. Most of these migrants …

Assessing Paths To Greenlandic Independence: Reconciling Inuit Cultural Autonomy With Danish Rule, Leo Freedman Oct 2024

Assessing Paths To Greenlandic Independence: Reconciling Inuit Cultural Autonomy With Danish Rule, Leo Freedman

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

This analytical paper seeks to understand what political, economic, and sociocultural barriers inhibit Greenlandic independence from Denmark. The concept of independence must be conceptualized from an Inuit perspective in order to analyze what sacrifices Greenland’s largest ethnic group is willing to make to achieve an independent state. The resource extraction industry offers one path towards independence by reducing dependency on Danish and EU funding. However, this paper argues that Inuit cultural values, especially an inherent connection with the physical and spiritual health of the natural environment, is of higher value than the economic benefits of investing in the resource extraction …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The Geometric Bonferroni Mean (GBM), is an extension of The Bonferroni mean (BM), that combines both BM and the geometric mean, allowing for the representation of correlations among the combined factors while acknowledging the inherent uncertainty within the decision-making process. Within the framework of Pythagorean neutrosophic set (PNS) that encompasses truth, indeterminacy, and falsity-membership degrees, each criterion can be integrated into a unified PNS value, portraying the overall evaluation of that criterion by employing the Geometric Bonferroni mean. This study aims to enhance decision-making in Pythagorean neutrosophic framework by introducing an aggregation operator to PNS using the Geometric Bonferroni Mean. …


Enhanced Tfnn-Gra Technique For Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making With Triangular Fuzzy Neutrosophic Information And Applications To Performance Evaluation Of Internally Cured High-Strength Concrete, Huayang Sun, Zhongyu Liu Oct 2024

Enhanced Tfnn-Gra Technique For Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making With Triangular Fuzzy Neutrosophic Information And Applications To Performance Evaluation Of Internally Cured High-Strength Concrete, Huayang Sun, Zhongyu Liu

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Internal curing technology involves the integration of internal curing materials into concrete, typically under pre-water storage conditions. This method works by gradually releasing water to increase the internal humidity of the concrete, which enhances the hydration of cementitious materials, reduces self-shrinkage in high-strength concrete (HSC), and improves its overall performance. Commonly used internal curing materials include absorbent resin and lightweight aggregates. However, using these materials in excessive amounts can compromise the strength or durability of the concrete, making it essential to determine the optimal dosage for effective application. When applied to HSC, internal curing helps mitigate shrinkage and enhances frost …

At present, research on venture capital evaluation mainly focuses on the evaluation of projects before venture capital, and empirical methods are mostly used to study the promoting effect of venture capital on performance after investment, ignoring the issue of continuous evaluation after investment. The performance evaluation of risk investment in small and …


The Theoretical Framework On Approximation Of Neutrosophic Numbers And Their Application, Augus Kurian, Sumathi I R, Omaima Al-Shanqiti Oct 2024

The Theoretical Framework On Approximation Of Neutrosophic Numbers And Their Application, Augus Kurian, Sumathi I R, Omaima Al-Shanqiti

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Neutrosophic sets are effectual logic represented to understand ambiguous and inconsistent information. They are frequently used to explain many types of partial or incomplete information. Researchers have given much attention to the decision-making theory and its associated methodologies based on uncertain linguistic factors. This article emphasizes the novel neutrosophic number approximations to handle linguistic variables and their application in multiple-attribute decision-making. Different approximation techniques are introduced in neutrosophic sets, but substantial data loss may occur. Hence, a hexagonal neutrosophic number was proposed to deal with information loss during approximation. Also, the comparison study with existing techniques is explored to show …

Intelligrader: A Framework For Automatic Short Answer Grading, Inconsistency Check And Feedback In Educational Context - Conception, Implementation And Evaluation, Paradesi Sree Lakshmi, Jay B. Simha, Rajeev Ranjan

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Automatic Short Answer Grading (ASAG), an escalating realm in natural language understanding, constitutes a focal point of research within the broader field of learning analytics. Over time, many ASAG solutions have been proposed to address the difficulties in teaching. However, no work addressed three crucial aspects of evaluation together, i.e., i) automatic evaluation of brief subjective/descriptive answers written in English, ii) identifying the evaluation inconsistency, and iii) provision of providing feedback about inconsistent evaluation to the evaluator. The current work proposes IntelliGrader, a comprehensive ASAG system that addresses the above-mentioned issues. Automated grading is accomplished through a model answer-based approach. …


Decision-Making In Diagnosing Heart Failure Problems Using Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Sets, Manar Mohamed Omran, Reham Abdel-Aziz Abo-Khadra Oct 2024

Decision-Making In Diagnosing Heart Failure Problems Using Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Sets, Manar Mohamed Omran, Reham Abdel-Aziz Abo-Khadra

Journal of Engineering Research

In recent decades, several types of sets, such as fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, type n fuzzy sets, and hesitant fuzzy sets, have been introduced and investigated widely. In this paper, we propose dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs), which encompass fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-sets as special cases. Then we investigate the basic operations and properties of DHFSs. We also discuss the relationships among the sets mentioned above, and then propose an extension principle of DHFSs. Additionally, we give an example to illustrate …


A Parallel Methodology For Early Fake News Detection Based On Hybrid Features On Social Media, Asmaa Mohemed Elsaieed Dr Oct 2024

A Parallel Methodology For Early Fake News Detection Based On Hybrid Features On Social Media, Asmaa Mohemed Elsaieed Dr

Journal of Engineering Research

The increased use of social media platforms has made it easier to publish and distribute news items, but it has also opened up new opportunities for distributing fake news. Fake news is information that has been written with the goal of misleading or deceiving readers. As a result, there is a need for efficient false news identification tools where the information can be gathered from the text of posts or from publicly available social data (such as user information or feedback on articles or the social network). The detection of fake news in its early stages is a major challenge. …

Scales Of Whiteness And Racial Mixing: Challenging And Confirming Racial Categories, Serin D. Houston Oct 2024

Scales Of Whiteness And Racial Mixing: Challenging And Confirming Racial Categories, Serin D. Houston

The Geographical Bulletin

This paper examines personal and public portrayals of the self and family articulated by heterosexual mixed-race households living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It argues that an attention to scale sheds light on how mixed-race partnerships and households both reproduce a racial hierarchy and express shifting racial identities. A focus on the work of whiteness – defined here as an evaluative set of practices and processes that implicitly or explicitly legitimate a static racial hierarchy – in the confirmation of and challenges to racial categories further specifies my claims. I explore seemingly contradictory expressions of race in …
