Dear researchers,
Recently reviewers frequently asking to provide graphical abstracts from authors. While researchers are not professional designers, and creating a graphical abstract typically doesn’t demand much design skills or significant time investment. But still, it seems excessive to me! If researchers choose to provide one, that's ok, it's up to them.
However, is it truly essential to visually represent every study? I believe reviewers shouldn't be overly strict about this requirement. I'm curious to hear other researchers' perspectives, reasoning, and justifications.
Regards

Answer
Challenges for Researchers
Your concern about the burden graphical abstracts place on researchers, who are often not professional designers, is also justified:
  1. Lack of Training: Many researchers lack the design skills needed to create effective and visually appealing graphical abstracts.
  2. Time Constraints: While graphical abstracts might not require extensive time investment, creating one can still add to an already heavy workload.
Should They Be Mandatory?
The question of whether graphical abstracts are "essential" depends on the nature of the study:
  • For highly technical or niche research, a graphical abstract might not significantly aid comprehension or reach.
  • For interdisciplinary or widely impactful studies, they can be an effective tool to communicate findings to a broader audience.
Reasonable Flexibility
Instead of making graphical abstracts mandatory, journals and reviewers could adopt a more flexible approach:
  • Optional Submission: Authors should have the choice to include a graphical abstract based on the relevance to their work.
  • Guidelines and Support: Journals could provide templates or basic training to help researchers create effective visuals without professional design expertise.
  • Reviewer Sensitivity: Reviewers should recognize the primary focus of a paper is its scientific merit, not necessarily the aesthetic quality of supplementary materials.
In conclusion, while graphical abstracts have undeniable benefits, they should not overshadow the core scientific contribution of a study. A balanced approach that considers the needs and constraints of researchers is essential to maintaining fairness in academic publishing.

Tetraquarks are 4 particle quark states since 3^4 = 3×3×3×3 = 81. In trying to organize the 6 known quarks, charm, truth, beauty, up, down, and strange in the weight diagram of SU(3), does the description of and the properties of the X(3872), X(4140), X(5568), X(6900) exotic Hadron tetraquarks fit into the (2,2) + (2,2) + (2,2) = 27 + 27 + 27 = 81 highest weight representation of SU(3) and the (2,2) highest weight representation of SU(3) be a basis from which one could make predictions about the existence of undiscovered tetraquarks?
See B. Hall, Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and Representations, p 151 for a description of the (2,2) highest weight diagram.
Relevant answer
Answer
This is not take the subject away from tetraquarks, but
The dimension of the Cartan subalgebra of SU(3) + SU(2) + U(1) is 4. There are 24 standard model particles.
The 6 quarks
The 6 leptons electron, muon, tau, electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and tau neutrino.
The 8 gluons
The W+, W-, Z and the photon.
Think the F4 Lie Algebra which has 48 roots on its weight lattice.
I am going on the assumption that tetraquarks exists and that the
X(3872), X(4140), X(5568), X(6900) should be fit into the proper framework. Have any tetraquarks been observed at SLAC?

Following the treatment with the ATR inhibitor, the phosphorylation level of Chk1-Ser345, which is a downstream target of ATR, was expected to decrease. Indeed, a weakened band was observed at 56kD corresponding to Chk1-Ser345. However, some larger bands also emerged in those lanes. The total amount of Chk1 remained unchanged.
Does this represent a homodimerization or ubiquitination of Chk1-Ser345, or some other phenomenon?
Relevant answer
Further analysis, such as immunoprecipitation or mass spectrometry, would clarify the nature of these bands, and it will clarify further whether homodimerization or ubiquitination

Answer
There are many reasons, one being safety. trying to leave is when many victims are killed so its a safety issue that has to be planned out well. Additionally many abusers have separated the victim from jobs, family, and finances so they will end up being homeless. Another reason is children and pets. In many states if the victims leave it can be construed as abandoning the house of children or kidnapping the children if they take them with them. Pets are used - abusers threaten to kill the pets if the person leaves and often shelters cannot accommodate pets. It's very complicated and laws do now always help the person leave safely.

Can music be subject to representation while listening?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Daniele,
Aristotle like plato considered all arts as forms as mimesis or imitation/perfection of Nature. In your post you accept painting as mimetic, as making representations of what exist out there in Nature but deny this mimetic character for music. Music is done by other animals, birds, sea mammals, insects, etc. Sea mamals seems to use it in particar for the synchronisation of the swimming movements by member of a pod. Parrots naturally dance to rythmic music made by humans. We dance on music so music is intimatly related to how our motor system makes our body.move. My hypothesis is that the first earth moving creatures, maybe even their ancestors moving in the sea had for survival values develop the capacity to discriminate the sound made by body movement from all other less relevant for survival sounds and use this information for locating the approaching body movent. Then such primitive animals had to use their own motor system in order to discriminate and recognize the body movement generating such part of the sound. So music correspond to the aspect of sound normally generated by body movement and dancing on music or synchronising body movement on music become a natural side effect of the motor system analysis of sound, i.e. music. If music is this then music like all the visual arts become another form of mimesis, here mimesis of body movement and it is why dance is related to music and why music is so important for film viewing since it super-impose body movement information onto the visual information.

Hello! I'm new to using AFM to analyze nanoparticles in a solution, and I have a question. I see a "line fit 2.79 nm" bar on the right side of my image. Does this refer to the height of the features in the image? For example, does the white area correspond to an approximate height of 2.79 nm? I noticed in another sample, which doesn't have nanoparticles, that it shows "line fit 700 pm." From this, I’m guessing that this value might represent the maximum height. Could you confirm this?

Are Homoeopathic repertories reliable when compared to materia medica , do they have adequate representation form materia medica
Relevant answer
Answer
@A.S. .Suman Sankar Sir
Homeopathic repertories and materia medica play distinct yet complementary roles in practice, each with unique strengths and limitations in terms of reliability and representation.
1. Reliability Comparison
Materia Medica: Provides detailed, qualitative accounts of symptoms verified through provings, clinical experience, and sometimes toxicological data, offering an in-depth understanding of each remedy. It is often seen as a more direct form of evidence.
Repertories: Function as indexes that categorize symptoms and list remedies associated with them, based on information from materia medica and clinical observations. Repertories simplify symptoms for easier reference, allowing for faster remedy selection, but may lack the depth or specificity of materia medica. Simplifying detailed symptoms into repertory rubrics can lead to interpretation errors or inconsistencies.
2. Representation of Materia Medica in Repertories
Repertories generally try to capture key symptoms of well-known remedies from materia medica, though the representation may be simplified or generalized. Not every symptom in materia medica finds a direct match in repertory rubrics.
Unique or specific aspects of remedies may be lost or inadequately represented due to the summarization required in repertories. Therefore, repertories are most useful for identifying general options rather than providing a complete, nuanced picture of symptoms.
3. Practical Use
Practitioners often start with repertories to identify potential remedies based on symptoms and then consult materia medica for in-depth confirmation and understanding.
Modern repertories have evolved to encompass a broader range of remedies, yet they must balance specificity with generalization, which impacts their reliability.

Answer
Information = Comprehension × Extension • Comment 7
Let's stay with Peirce's example of inductive inference a little longer and try to clear up the more troublesome confusions tending to arise.
Figure 2 shows the implication ordering of logical terms in the form of a lattice diagram.
Figure 2. Disjunctive Term u, Taken as Subject
Figure 4 shows an inductive step of inquiry, as taken on the cue of an indicial sign.
Figure 4. Disjunctive Subject u, Induction of Rule v ⇒ w
One final point needs to be stressed. It is important to recognize the disjunctive term itself — the syntactic formula “neat, swine, sheep, deer” or any logically equivalent formula — is not an index but a symbol. It has the character of an artificial symbol which is constructed to fill a place in a formal system of symbols, for example, a propositional calculus. In that setting it would normally be interpreted as a logical disjunction of four elementary propositions, denoting anything in the universe of discourse which has any of the four corresponding properties.
The artificial symbol “neat, swine, sheep, deer” denotes objects which serve as indices of the genus herbivore by virtue of their belonging to one of the four named species of herbivore. But there is in addition a natural symbol which serves to unify the manifold of given species, namely, the concept of a cloven‑hoofed animal.
As a symbol or general representation, the concept of a cloven‑hoofed animal connotes an attribute and connotes it in such a way as to determine what it denotes. Thus we observe a natural expansion in the connotation of the symbol, amounting to what Peirce calls the “superfluous comprehension” or information added by an “ampliative” or synthetic inference.
In sum we have sufficient information to motivate an inductive inference, from the Fact u ⇒ w and the Case u ⇒ v to the Rule v ⇒ w.

Information = Comprehension × Extension • Preamble
Eight summers ago I hit on what struck me as a new insight into one of the most recalcitrant problems in Peirce’s semiotics and logic of science, namely, the relation between “the manner in which different representations stand for their objects” and the way in which different inferences transform states of information.  I roughed out a sketch of my epiphany in a series of blog posts then set it aside for the cool of later reflection.  Now looks to be a choice moment for taking another look.
A first pass through the variations of representation and reasoning detects the axes of iconic, indexical, and symbolic manners of representation on the one hand and the axes of abductive, inductive, and deductive modes of inference on the other.  Early and often Peirce suggests a natural correspondence between the main modes of inference and the main manners of representation but his early arguments differ from his later accounts in ways deserving close examination, partly for the extra points in his line of reasoning and partly for his explanation of indices as signs constituted by convening the variant conceptions of sundry interpreters.

C.S. Peirce • Upon Logical Comprehension and Extension
Relevant answer
Answer
Information = Comprehension × Extension • Selection 6
Selection 1 opens with Peirce proposing, “The information of a term is the measure of its superfluous comprehension”, and it closes with his offering the following promise.
❝I am going, next, to show that inference is symbolization and that the puzzle of the validity of scientific inference lies merely in this superfluous comprehension and is therefore entirely removed by a consideration of the laws of information.❞
Summing up his account to this point, Peirce appears confident he's kept his promise. Promising on our own account to give it another pass, we'll let him have the last word — for now.
❝We have now seen how the mind is forced by the very nature of inference itself to make use of induction and hypothesis.
❝But the question arises how these conclusions come to receive their justification by the event. Why are most inductions and hypotheses true? I reply that they are not true. On the contrary, experience shows that of the most rigid and careful inductions and hypotheses only an infinitesimal proportion are never found to be in any respect false.
❝And yet it is a fact that all careful inductions are nearly true and all well-grounded hypotheses resemble the truth; why is that? If we put our hand in a bag of beans the sample we take out has perhaps not quite but about the same proportion of the different colours as the whole bag. Why is that?
❝The answer is that which I gave a week ago. Namely, that there is a certain vague tendency for the whole to be like any of its parts taken at random because it is composed of its parts. And, therefore, there must be some slight preponderance of true over false scientific inferences. Now the falsity in conclusions is eliminated and neutralized by opposing falsity while the slight tendency to the truth is always one way and is accumulated by experience. The same principle of balancing of errors holds alike in observation and in reasoning.❞

Do i need to use ratio or concentration (copies/ul) ?
thank you --
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Laurent,
That would depend on your research question (and sample type).
In general, inhibitors will have less impact on digital PCR (this needs to be assessed!), but RT will still be a factor causing variation. So, ideally, for gene expression, you will need to normalize based on (multiple) reference genes or spike-ins (or calculate recovery).
Yet, it is good practice to report cp/µL of all targets (in the supplementary data for example).

What effect do representations of disability have on the concept of abjection?
Relevant answer
Answer
Representations of disability raise the question of whether visibility is always empowering or desirable for minorities if said visibility relies on toxic tropes and stereotypes. For instance, even empathetic representations may present disabled figures as "abject" individuals in need of care, as one who is (as the definition of abjection goes) "servile, wretched, or contemptible." As Alexa Alice Joubin argues in her Introduction to Critical Theory, https://criticaltheory.info/, "impairment is not necessarily an obstacle and does not in and by itself constitute disability. It only becomes a form of disability when the environment and its design fail to support a person’s needs. Disability is a socially induced hindrance to mobility or to access."

The political participation of the Kirat Rai community in Nepal has evolved significantly over time:
Historical Context
Historically, the Kirat Rai people, like many indigenous groups in Nepal, had limited political representation and influence. During the monarchy and the early years of the democratic movement, their participation in national politics was minimal. The centralization of power and the dominance of certain ethnic groups often marginalized the Kirat Rai and other indigenous communities.
Recent Developments
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the political engagement and representation of the Kirat Rai community:
  1. Constitutional Recognition: The new constitution of Nepal, adopted in 2015, recognizes the rights of indigenous peoples, including the Kirat Rai. This has provided a legal framework for greater political participation and representation.
  2. Political Representation: Members of the Kirat Rai community have increasingly been elected to local, provincial, and national government positions. This includes representation in the federal parliament and various provincial assemblies.
  3. Indigenous Movements: Organizations like the Kirat Rai Yayokkha have been instrumental in advocating for the rights and representation of the Rai people. These movements have played a crucial role in raising awareness and pushing for political inclusion.
  4. Local Governance: With the implementation of federalism in Nepal, there has been a decentralization of power, allowing for greater local governance. This has enabled the Kirat Rai community to have more influence in local decision-making processes.
Current Challenges
Despite these advancements, challenges remain:
  • Underrepresentation: While there has been progress, the Kirat Rai community is still underrepresented in higher levels of government and key decision-making positions.
  • Socioeconomic Barriers: Economic and educational disparities continue to hinder full political participation for many in the community.
The journey towards equitable political representation for the Kirat Rai and other indigenous communities in Nepal is ongoing, with continued efforts needed to address these challenges and ensure inclusive governance.

Effect sizes are evaluated as small (0.02), medium (0.15) or large (0.35) respectively, according to Cohen (1988). OR According to Cohen (1988; 2019), the f2 values of 0.10 represent small effect; while 0.30 represent medium effect; and 0.50 represent large effect.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, I can confirm the benchmark values for effect size (ƒ2) in ANOVA.
Effect size (ƒ2) is a measure of the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable(s).
Here are the benchmark values for effect size (ƒ2):
- Small effect: ƒ2 = 0.02
- Medium effect: ƒ2 = 0.15
- Large effect: ƒ2 = 0.35
These values were first proposed by Jacob Cohen in 1988 and are widely used as a reference for interpreting effect sizes.
Keep in mind that the interpretation of effect size depends on the context and research field. These benchmarks are general guidelines and may need to be adjusted based on the specific research question and area of study.

Muhammad Mudassar Muhammad, what you're asking does not have an "this-is-best" answer. Instead "speak to your audience" with methods of analysis, a technical and cultural language and graphic representation that they will understand -and- make then graphically present information you care about in same way. - You should tailor all the above to your research field. In other words the particular tools and representation technique doesn't matter You need to compare what you want to communicate from the variables. Is it best to show all three variables together or separately ??? Is it best to communicate monthly trends to your audience in one study or separately ?? Do monthly variable trends make the data clearer than yearly trends ?? Graphic representation of data is a form of visual communication. Do you know how to use this form of communication to make the ideas you care about clear to your audience ???
I ask these questions because your question reads like your trying to show-off your ability to handle complex data versus communicate with people. In my culture we have a baseball (sports) expression; "do simple better". I think that applies here. Work to make a simple and concise presentation of the trends.

I've 16mg collagenase type IV, I want represent the unit in IU (International Units). Did anyone know how to convert mg to IU? Is there any other units to represent enzyme activity other than IU? If so what is the conversion factor for that?
Relevant answer
Answer
It will be mentioned on the collagenase IV specification sheet as xxUnits/mg. Using the concentration mentioned by the manufacturer, you can convert the 16mg into International units. The basic idea is that the activity of enzyme is not similar to the amount of enzyme added. The international unit represents the active enzyme per milligram of the potien.

We may represent the results of these matches by a graph, in which if team A wins over team B, we draw an oriented arc from vertex A to vertex B. If team A ties with team B, we draw an undirected edge(or we do not draw any edge for simplicity). From the resulting graph, let P(A) be the number of points of the team A. P(A)=3 multiplied by the number of directed arcs out from A plus the number of undirected edges incident on A. Each graph in that manner represents the result of matches and vice versa. From the graph, we can arrange the teams. We can generalize this for n teams.

What is representational competence in physics?
Relevant answer
Answer
There is no consensus in science and research, regarding representational competence (RC) as a unified theoretical framework. RC is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes;
success in solving physics problems is related to the representational format of the problem. In this sense, Alwielland Q. Bello RC can indeed be understood as the competence to mentally represent a physics problem or generally physics theories by simple cognitive models, mainly via visualization (simple model by combining simple human language, logic and math).

Throughout the literature, it is unclear whether algal turfs (i.e. dense assemblages of short, turf-forming algae) are a form of algae that occurs due to the effects of disturbance (waves, herbivory) or if they represent a morphological advantage that has evolved over time.
Relevant answer
Answer
In intertidal habitats, algal turfs surely are advantageous as, while exposed during low tide, they help keep the moist and provide shade, thus protecting from desiccation and UV-stress. This is particularly helpful for younger fronds, germlings and sporelings, who still lack the chemical molecules that help overcome those stresses. They have the same beneficial effect for benthic infauna. And they shelter the infauna from bird foraging by making harder for birds to scout inside the denser turfs. Likewise, underwater, denser turfs make harder for herbivores to scout and forage on the juveniles and germlings. Check some of my literature and references their in. Best Wishes

If you takes a screenshot of the SnapGene view, as described by Ibrahim H M Abualghusein above, you will have a graphic image, rather than file where you can edit the text GTACCTTA in the figure. You might want to consider using a graphic image editor (PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator, biorender.com, etc) where you can change the fonts and so on to add to the figure more easily. For example you could make the codon of interest bold and red font so it stands out. Also, the screen shot will be at some fixed resolution and size, whereas in a graphics editor you will have more choices of export formats (JPG, TIFF, PNG, PDF etc) and resolution so the image can be made larger or smaller to fit in the journal without the details getting fuzzy during enlargement or reduction in size or resolution.

Overall I would say no, because it can make big mistakes, but it seems to be able to somehow adapt to new knowledge, after processing its data exabytes. Let me give you a couple of examples.
- First, a basic mistake it made:
You
And mathematically, as functions on the real axis, is their behavior very different or similar? Are both peaked functions that tend to zero as the value of the variable increases or do their behaviors bear little similarity?
ChatGPT
Mathematically, both the sinc and Gaussian functions have similar behaviors in that they are both smooth functions that tend to zero as the independent variable moves infinitely further away on the real axis. However, there are differences in their specific forms and how quickly they tend to zero. Sinc Function: The sinc function has a bell shape and is defined as sinc(x)=sin(πx)/πx​. It vanishes for x=0 and has additional zeros at =±1,±2,…x=±1,±2,…. As ∣x∣ increases, the sinc function tends to zero, but its convergence is relatively slow, since the presence of zeros prevents a rapid decay
...
You
I think you are wrong. The sinc function that you have sent does not vanish at x=0 (its value at the origin is 1). On the other hand, the Gaussian always takes positive values ​​and decreases monotonically. For me it is a big difference. Don't you agree?
ChatGPT
My apologies for the confusion and thanks for pointing it out. You are correct in your observation. The sinc function, in fact, does not vanish at x=0 (its value is 1 at that point), and presents oscillations as ∣x∣ increases, which makes it not smooth in the sense of having continuous derivatives in all orders.
- Next, a situation in which it seems to be able to adapt to new knowledge:
You
But the Gaussian and Lorentzian representations do not need to be convolved with test functions in the Schwartz space (as distributions) to get the same result, they can be integrated together with any continuous function and produce the same result as they do with test functions. Only the sinc function or similarly problematic representations need to be restricted to the Schwartz space to become equal to the others. Did you know that? Do you think that this mathematical restriction is fair to the Gaussian and Lorentzian? In this sense, maybe we are talking about different categories of delta functions.
ChatGPT
Yes, you're correct in pointing out a subtle yet crucial distinction. The Gaussian and Lorentzian representations of the Dirac delta function indeed have a special property that allows them to be integrated with a broader class of functions, not necessarily limited to the Schwartz space, and still produce the same result. This property is a consequence of the fact that these representations are entire functions of t and have certain regularity properties.
I would be curious to know your opinion/experience, if only because AI will soon become widespread.

Thanks again, your replies are as thought-provoking and enlightening!

Dear ResearchGate community,
I am currently working on a MATLAB project involving Multisynchrosqueezing and S Transform for the analysis of signals, particularly focusing on the Ricker waveform at 30 Hz. However, I am encountering a puzzling issue where the observed frequency in the time-frequency representation (TFR) does not match the expected frequency, showing values around 26 or 27 Hz.
Why is there a discrepancy between the expected and observed frequencies in the time-frequency representation?
What factors could contribute to this frequency displacement, especially when analyzing spiky signals like the Ricker waveform?
Are there alternative methods or modifications that could enhance the accuracy of time-frequency representation and reconstruction for spiky signals?
Relevant answer
Answer
There are several reasons why there may be a discrepancy between the expected and observed frequencies in the time-frequency representation. These include:
  • Noise: Noise is always present in real-world signals, and it can cause the observed frequencies to differ from the expected frequencies.
  • Interference: Interference from other signals can also cause the observed frequencies to differ from the expected frequencies.
  • Non-stationarity: Many real-world signals are not stationary, meaning that their frequency content changes over time. This can cause the observed frequencies to differ from the expected frequencies.
  • Model error: The time-frequency representation model itself may be inaccurate, which can also cause the observed frequencies to differ from the expected frequencies.
In general, the discrepancy between the expected and observed frequencies in the time-frequency representation is an indication that there is some underlying structure or process that is not captured by the model. This can be a valuable clue for understanding the signal.
Here are some specific examples of discrepancies between expected and observed frequencies in the time-frequency representation:
  • In a musical signal, the observed frequency of a note may be slightly different from the expected frequency due to vibrato or other effects.
  • In a speech signal, the observed frequency of a phoneme may be different from the expected frequency due to coarticulation or other effects.
  • In an image, the observed frequencies of edges and other features may be different from the expected frequencies due to noise or other artifacts.
The discrepancy between expected and observed frequencies can be quantified using a variety of measures, such as the mean square error (MSE) or the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These measures can be used to evaluate the performance of the time-frequency representation model.

I am a bit confused and I need your expertise help in acknowledging whether we should represent the qualitative results in a semi-structured interview in an anonymous way (few, some, many) or report it as specific data, 3 out of 6 for example 50% of respondents... and so on, as I am getting reviewers' comments from different journals, some of whom recommended that in qualitative research numbers should not be stated and to be totally removed, others who found this ambiguous and asked for representing the data from each question as % respondents, I appreciate your clarification in this regard..!
Relevant answer
Answer
You are indeed addressing an issue that is not formally codified in empirical qualitative social research.
David L. Morgan rightly points out the important argument: If 'n' (number of subjects in the survay) is very small, an indication of the number or percentage suggests an empirical and/or statistical representation that is not considered scientifically valid compared to the corresponding population. Do not be so impressed by the positions of your reviewers - they seem to disagree on this point as well. From this point of view, deal with the issue offensively: Explain how you proceed and why. And then you can use terms like 'one', 'half' or 'almost all'.
When discussing numbers and percentages, we should not ignore the essential underlying meaning of qualitative methods. Especially in the course of explorative research, qualitative methods are used to identify possible casual references in the first place and to initiate a process of theory building. In this way, theoretical approaches and empirical findings can later be coordinated and aggregated at a higher level. Only on such a basis does it make sense to use quantitative methods and to report formal numbers and percentages.

The word 'representation' has been defined by Derrida as 'reproduction of presentations'. Taking the prefix 're' to mean 'again'.
When representation can only reproduce presences again, how can it reach into the future? Is that not problematic, as the future is not present and can therefore not be reproduced again?
Why is this relevant? The German word 'Vorstellung' (as e.g. in Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung') is made up of 'vor' and 'stellung': for, in front of (or 'fore' as in 'foreground') and to place, to put. Whereas 'Vorstellung' directs someone's orientation foreward, representation casts someone back into the past. Alway. Inescapably, But a Vorstellung will always be in front of you, wherever you turn.
It is easy to relate Vorstellung to the future. As that will be any account, image, presentation of the future to be placed in front of anyone. (This is also why it is different from 'imagination', as you imagine something by yourself, in your head as it were. A Vorstellung kan be imaginary, but also, similar to a play or a performance (also 'Vorstellung') physically outside of yourself in front of you. Imagination cannot).
So sematically Vorstellung can cover times ahead. But can representation?
And what does that mean for communication theory, when its dominant defining concept cannot address the future?
#representation #communication theory #cultural studies #Stuart Hall #lingusitic relativity #vorstellung
Relevant answer
Answer
According to the Treccani Dictionary (the most authoritative Italian dictionary) rappresentazione is "Il processo mediante il quale un contenuto di percezioni, immaginazioni, giudizi e concetti, si presenta alla coscienza, e quanto viene così rappresentato". Accordingly, 'representation' may apply both to the past and to the future and the re- prefix is no longer bound to its original Lat. meaning "back" --though even in Latin re- did not mean just "back". You may have a mental representation ( immaginazione, Vorstellung) of what will be the situation in Israel next month.
On the other hand, rappresentazione can have a more concrete, physical meaning, exactly as Vorstellung: La rappresentazione alla Scala dello Zauberfluete di Mozart. I do not know whether Engl. representation can have this meaning: I do not think so. As for French, représentation may refer, among many other meanings, to 'Action de donner un spectacle devant un public, en particulier au théâtre' and also to 'Perception, image mentale, etc., dont le contenu se rapporte à un objet, à une situation, à une scène, etc., du monde dans lequel vit le sujet'.

I am attaching an image file for reference.
Relevant answer
Answer
Mayank Verma The term "(AVG: 75%)" in a contour plot in the ABAQUS visualization module represents the average value of the output parameter over a particular element or region of interest, where the relative difference between contributions at a node is less than or equal to 75%. This means that if the difference between the values of the output parameter at two neighboring nodes is less than or equal to 75%, then the values will be averaged and displayed as a single value. If the difference is greater than 75%, then the values will not be averaged and will be displayed as separate values. For example, if you are plotting the stress in a structure, and the averaging threshold is set to 75%, then the contour plot will show the average stress at each node, where the average is taken over all of the elements that contribute to the stress at that node. If the difference between the stresses at two neighboring nodes is greater than 75%, then the contour plot will show the stresses at each node individually.
The averaging threshold can be set in the ABAQUS/CAE software. The default value is 75%, but it can be changed to any value between 0% and 100%. A value of 0% will suppress all averaging, while a value of 100% will average all results. The averaging threshold can be useful for smoothing out noisy data or for highlighting areas where there are large changes in the output parameter. However, it is important to note that averaging can also obscure important details in the data. Therefore, it is important to choose the averaging threshold carefully for each particular application.

It seems that people are quite happy to use the raw solar spectrum as modelled by some tool (here, MODTRAN4). That ought to convince a revierwer.

Karen Celis and Sarah Childs argue that "[i]nclusive representation requires presence but also richer political conversations, broader political agendas, meaningful accountability, and feelings of affinity, connection, and recognition."
Their recommendation for reaching this ideal, even if partially, is to institute offices for "affected representatives" in (I would think) all legislatures. These affected representatives would be selected by their communities, who are peoples most affected by for example a proposed policy in some parliament, and would collaborate as equals with regular representatives of said parliament on the development of that policy.
I'd like to invite readers to build on Celis and Child's ideal here.
For my part, I would want local governments to do more - especially with easily defined communities (apartment/condo buildings and neighbourhoods for instance) - to get people talking about public affairs, especially those most affecting them. This is a perennial topic in democracy studies/political theory but neoliberal cultures have made the problem much worse as people withdraw, or are forced to withdraw, ever more into their private concerns. These people withdraw without understanding that neoliberalism does come with an ethical catch: as states weaken, and their services diminish, it is for individuals and their businesses to fill this gap. Only most do not do this and there are, of course, tremendous problems when it comes to corporations filling in for the state.
What are your ideas? What are their limits? How could they work?

Dear Jean-Paul,
  • How could You make increasing presence and richer political conversations? - when societal development is, from one side, nowadays accelerating with enormous speed, and, from other side - becoming more and more specialised and quantifiable. According my personal experience, in the seventies of last century You could easily read and comprehensively understand up-to 80 percent of social sciences journals articles, now the percentage is the opposite. Of course, it depends on personal education level, but the tendencies are more than clear.

Given: x = 10sin(0.2t), y = 10cos(0.2t), z = 2.5sin(0.2t) (1)
There exists the following mathematical relationship:
u = x'cos(z) + y'sin(z),
v = -x'sin(z) + y'cos(z), (2)
r = z'
How to express rd=[x,y,z,u,v,r]' in the form of drd/dt = h(rd), where the function h(rd) does not explicitly depend on the time variable t?
My approach is as follows:
From (2), we have:
x' = ucos(z) - vsin(z), y' = usin(z) + vcos(z), z' = r (3) with initial values x(0) = 0, y(0) = 10, z(0) = 0
From (2), we have:
u' = x''cos(z) - x'sin(z)z' + y''sin(z) + y'cos(z)z',
v' = -x''sin(z) - x'cos(z)z' + y''cos(z) - y'sin(z)z',
r' = z''
By calculating based on (1), we obtain:
x' = 2cos(0.2t) = 0.2y
x'' = -0.4sin(0.2t) = -0.04x
y' = -2sin(0.2t) = -0.2x (4)
y'' = -0.4cos(0.2t) = -0.04y
z' = 0.5cos(0.2t) = 0.05y
z'' = -0.1sin(0.2t) = -0.01x
Substituting x', x'', y', y'', z', z'' into (4), we get:
u' = -0.04xcos(z) - 0.2y * 0.05ysin(z) - 0.04ysin(z) - 0.2x * 0.05y*cos(z)
v' = -x''sin(z) - x'cos(z)z' + y''cos(z) - y'sin(z)z'
r' = z''
with initial values u(0)=2, v(0)=0, r(0)=0.5
The calculation process is accurate, but is the problem-solving approach correct?
