  • Healing of Discernible Brackish from Municipal Drinking Water by Charcoal Filtration Method at Jijgiga, Ethiopia Udhaya Kumar
    ISSN XXXX XXXX © 2019 IJESC Research Article Volume 9 Issue No.4 Healing of Discernible Brackish from Municipal Drinking Water by Charcoal Filtration Method at Jijgiga, Ethiopia Udhaya Kumar. K Lecturer Department of Water Resource and Irrigation Engineering University of Jijgiga, Ethiopia Abstract: Jijiga is a city in eastern region of Ethiopia country and the Jijiga is capital of Somali Region (Ethiopia). Located in the Jijiga Zone approximately 80 km (50 miles) east of Harar and 60 km (37 miles) west of the border with Somalia, this city has an elevation of 1,609 meters above the sea level. The population of this city was 185000 in the year 2015. The elevation of this city is 1609m from sea level. The natural water source for jijiga is limited, most of the time people getting limited quantity of water. The main source of this city is a small pond and one spring. The rainy season also not that much. The municipality supplying water to every house based upon intermittent system, the time limit is morning only (8am to 9am). The municipality water contains discernible brackish. The public using this water for drinking and cooking purpose, it wills danger for human health. My focus is planning to remove discernible brackish by distinct method. My research results indicate the removal of discernible brackish from drinking water by simple charcoal filtration method for low cost. Keywords: Discernible brackish, Human health, Filtration, Low cost, Main source, Municipality, Intermittent system, Distinct method. I. INTRODUCTION charcoal. Only the water is reached to the second layer. Then the filtered water is collected separately to another container The climate condition of Jijgiga city is not constant and also without discernible brackish.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

  • Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba As Political Allegory
    Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba as Political Allegory by MASHA SALAZKINA Abstract: This essay considers the history of Soviet Indian coproductions focusing on Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (1980) as a political allegory over the fate of the multination state. It addresses the formal utopian character of the fi lm and the excessive threat of sexual violence in the song-and-dance numbers. he subject of this essay is the little studied phenomenon of the Soviet-Indian cinematic coproductions. While giving a general outline of the history of these coproductions, I focus primarily on the most commercially successful of these joint efforts, Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (Alibaba Aur 40 Chor/Priklyucheniya Ali-Baby Ti soroka razboinikov, Latif Faiziyev and Umesh Mehra, 1980), henceforward Alibaba. I argue that the fi lm contains a political allegory expressing anxiety over the fate of the multination state; that anxiety lies beneath the formal utopian character of the fi lm, which attempts to show the constitution of a new community on the screen and to defi ne the role of its political subject in the face of crime and governmental corruption. I will address these issues through discussing the directors’ choice of the material (a story from One Thousand and One Nights, or The Arabian Nights, as it is better known in English); the narrative structure of the fi lm; performance histories of the Indian and Soviet actors; and, fi nally, through a reading of the excessive threat of sexual violence concentrated in the fi lm’s song-and-dance numbers. Alibaba, I con- tend, is of interest not only due to the formal and institutional hybridization of two autonomous cinematic traditions, Indian and Soviet, but also as a cultural object which displays a shared anxiety over the role of the state as its existing political and economic order moves palpably toward the brink of collapse.

  • Underwater Music: Tuning Composition to the Sounds of Science
    OUP UNCORRECTED FIRST-PROOF 7/6/11 CENVEO chapter 6 UNDERWATER MUSIC: TUNING COMPOSITION TO THE SOUNDS OF SCIENCE stefan helmreich Introduction How should we apprehend sounds subaqueous and submarine? As humans, our access to underwater sonic realms is modulated by means fl eshy and technological. Bones, endolymph fl uid, cilia, hydrophones, and sonar equipment are just a few apparatuses that bring watery sounds into human audio worlds. As this list sug- gests, the media through which humans hear sound under water can reach from the scale of the singular biological body up through the socially distributed and techno- logically tuned-in community. For the social scale, which is peopled by submari- ners, physical oceanographers, marine biologists, and others, the underwater world —and the undersea world in particular — often emerge as a “fi eld” (a wildish, distributed space for investigation) and occasionally as a “lab” (a contained place for controlled experiments). In this chapter I investigate the ways the underwater realm manifests as such a scientifi cally, technologically, and epistemologically apprehensible zone. I do so by auditing underwater music, a genre of twentieth- and twenty-fi rst-century 006-Pinch-06.indd6-Pinch-06.indd 115151 77/6/2011/6/2011 55:06:52:06:52 PPMM OUP UNCORRECTED FIRST-PROOF 7/6/11 CENVEO 152 the oxford handbook of sound studies composition performed or recorded under water in settings ranging from swim- ming pools to the ocean, with playback unfolding above water or beneath. Composers of underwater music are especially curious about scientifi c accounts of how sound behaves in water and eager to acquire technologies of subaqueous sound production.

  • 'Underwater Music': Multimedia Soundtrack Retrieval
    From Water Music to `Underwater Music': Multimedia Soundtrack Retrieval with Social Mass Media Resources? Cynthia C. S. Liem Multimedia Computing Group, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract. In creative media, visual imagery is often combined with music soundtracks. In the resulting artefacts, the consumption of iso- lated music or imagery will not be the main goal, but rather the com- bined multimedia experience. Through frequent combination of music with non-musical information resources and the corresponding public exposure, certain types of music will get associated to certain types of non-musical contexts. As a consequence, when dealing with the problem of soundtrack retrieval for non-musical media, it would be appropriate to not only address corresponding music search engines in music-technical terms, but to also exploit typical surrounding contextual and connotative associations. In this work, we make use of this information, and present and validate a search engine framework based on collaborative and social Web resources on mass media and corresponding music usage. Making use of the SRBench dataset, we show that employing social folksonomic descriptions in search indices is effective for multimedia soundtrack re- trieval. 1 Introduction Music is not just isolated sound, but also a continuously recurring element in our daily lives. We choose to listen to it as accompaniment to daily activities, such as studying, commuting and working out, or to get into or out of certain moods. We use it as an atmosphere-creating element during significant community events. We may (sometimes involuntarily) be confronted with it in public spaces, and through the multimedia we consume.

  • The Rhythm of the Void
    Jay Plaat S4173538 Master Thesis MA Creative Industries Radboud University Nijmegen, 2015-2016 Supervisor: dr. Natascha Veldhorst Second reader: dr. László Munteán The Rhythm of the Void On the rhythm of any-space-whatever in Bresson, Tarkovsky and Winterbottom Index Abstract 1 Introduction 2 Chapter 1 The Autonomous Cinematic Space Discourse (Or How Space Differs in Emptiness) 16 Chapter 2 Cinematic Rhythm 26 Chapter 3 The Any-Space-Whatever without Borders (Or Why Bresson Secretly Made Lancelot du Lac for People Who Can’t See) 37 Chapter 4 The Neutral, Onirosigns and Any-Body-Whatevers in Nostalghia 49 Chapter 5 The Any-Space-Whatever-Anomaly of The Face of an Angel (Or Why the Only True Any-Space-Whatever Is a Solitary One) 59 Conclusion 68 Appendix 72 Bibliography, internet sources and filmography 93 Abstract This thesis explores the specific rhythmic dimensions of Gilles Deleuze’s concept of any- space-whatever, how those rhythmic dimensions function and what consequences they have for the concept of any-space-whatever. Chapter 1 comprises a critical assessment of the autonomous cinematic space discourse and describes how the conceptions of the main contributors to this discourse (Balázs, Burch, Chatman, Perez, Vermeulen and Rustad) differ from each other and Deleuze’s concept. Chapter 2 comprises a delineation of cinematic rhythm and its most important characteristics. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 comprise case study analyses of Robert Bresson’s Lancelot du Lac, Andrei Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia and Michael Winterbottom’s The Face of an Angel, in which I coin four new additions to the concept of any-space-whatever.

  • Tamil Film (Kollywood) Choreography As Screen Dance Sandhiya Kalyanasundaram
    76 Navigating Hyperrealities : Tamil Film (Kollywood) Choreography as Screen Dance Sandhiya Kalyanasundaram Abstract This essay discusses the choreographic ethos that integrates technology and dance as an evolving mode of storytelling in South Indian (Tamil-Kollywood) movies by tracing the work of director Shankar Shanmugam. Through analyses of song-dance sequences, I identify three key principles for using screendance techniques, and reflect on how these innovations contribute to cultivating and shaping the audience imagination. The audience is challenged to further engage at multiple levels and grapple with the relationships between human and more than human worlds. In the Kollywood scene, there is a constant quest for new techniques that can embrace inner realities. Keywords: Hyperreal time-space, Kollywood screendance, embodied technology, Indian narratology, perception Before him, a film mounted on a huge scale would be described as being “like a Hollywood movie.” Now, we just say it looks… like a Shankar movie – Baradwaj Rangan1 Through this essay I am interested in outlining the specific Tamil film ethos that is rapidly evolving its storytelling modes in response to 1) a fast-changing social identity developed as a result of the changing Indian political, ecological and social landscape; 2) critical discourses about the individual and their role in society and the portrayal of the female characters; 3) what it means to be human in a world of technology and consumerism; 4) questioning the role of cinema and cinema artists in contributing to a dialogue about living our anthropocentric lives whilst beginning to inquire empathetically into more-than-human worlds; 5) bridging the quest of the artists and the audiences alike.
