The influence of modernization and globalization has triggered a transformation in the representation of culture within the interior design of malls in Bali, where contemporary styles are prioritized over the application of local values. Field observations indicate that cultural elements employed in several Balinese malls function merely as decoration, failing to integrate deeper cultural philosophies. This study uses a qualitative methodology, with data gathered through direct observation, interviews, and a review of literature on Balinese cultural principles. The findings reveal that traditional ornaments, such as carvings and motifs, are treated solely as decorative features. Furthermore, these local elements are overshadowed by modern design components that dominate the space. This phenomenon represents a complex negotiation between the demands of globalization, commercialization, and the preservation of local culture. Consequently, the study recommends the integration of Balinese cultural values, specifically the principles of Tri Hita Karana and Tri Mandala, into mall interior design. This approach can transform malls into modern commercial spaces that simultaneously preserve the distinctive cultural identity of Bali. Keywords: design, commercial space, mall, Balinese culture, modernization, cultural identity, deconstruction
Mireia Pérez, in La muchacha salvaje, imagines a mythical world, and goes back to the origins of our civilization to better understand the world in which she lives and women’s position in our society. Her graphic narrative focuses on the journey of the protagonist through different communities and modes of living that opens her eyes to other ways of thinking, being and seeing the world. This article examines the importance of the journey in shaping the identity of the main character. A protagonist who finds herself “out of place”, who lives displaced and in constant movement. Her travels through this imaginary world provide the arena to consider the female bildungsroman, the nomadic subject, the importance of silence in the narrative, as well as notions of subjectivity, deterritorialization, and the place of female authors in the comic world.
 Resumen
 Mireia Pérez, en La muchacha salvaje, inventa un mundo mítico y nos traslada a los orígenes de nuestra civilización para comprender mejor el mundo en que vive y la posición de la mujer en nuestra sociedad. La narrativa gráfica se centra en el viaje de la protagonista por diferentes comunidades y diferentes costumbres que le abren los ojos a otras formas de pensar, ser y ver el mundo. Este artículo examina el papel que cobra el viaje en la configuración de la identidad de un personaje que se encuentra “fuera de lugar”, que vive desplazado y en tránsito constante. El motivo temático del viaje por este mundo imaginario nos lleva a considerar varios aspectos, entre ellos, el bildungsroman femenino, el sujeto nómada, el silencio en esta narrativa gráfica así como nociones de subjetividad, desterritorialización y la situación de las autoras en el mundo del cómic.
We deal with the problem of maintaining a shortest-path tree rooted at some process r in a network that may be disconnected after topological changes. The goal is then to maintain a shortest-path tree rooted at r in its connected component, V_r, and make all processes of other components detecting that r is not part of their connected component. We propose, in the composite atomicity model, a silent self-stabilizing algorithm for this problem working in semi-anonymous networks, where edges have strictly positive weights. This algorithm does not require any a priori knowledge about global parameters of the network. We prove its correctness assuming the distributed unfair daemon, the most general daemon. Its stabilization time in rounds is at most 3nmax+D, where nmax is the maximum number of non-root processes in a connected component and D is the hop-diameter of V_r. Furthermore, if we additionally assume that edge weights are positive integers, then it stabilizes in a polynomial number of steps: namely, we exhibit a bound in O(maxi nmax^3 n), where maxi is the maximum weight of an edge and n is the number of processes.
AbstractA possible approach to achieve quasi-freestanding graphene on a substrate for technological purpose is the intercalation of alkali metal atoms. Cs intercalation between graphene and Ni(111) therefore is investigated using density functional theory, incorporating van der Waals corrections. It is known that direct contact between graphene and Ni(111) perturbs the Dirac states. We find that Cs intercalation restores the linear dispersion characteristic of Dirac fermions, which agrees with experiments, but the Dirac cone is shifted to lower energy, i.e., the graphene sheet is n-doped. Cs intercalation therefore decouples the graphene sheet from the substrate except for a charge transfer. On the other hand, the spin polarization of Ni(111) does not extend through the intercalated atoms to the graphene sheet, for which we find virtually spin-degeneracy.

The notion of Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLG) captures survivability issues when a set of links of a network may fail simultaneously. The theory of survivable network design relies on basic combinatorial objects that are rather easy to compute in the classical graph models: shortest paths, minimum cuts, or pairs of disjoint paths. In the SRLG context, the optimization criterion for these objects is no longer the number of edges they use, but the number of SRLGs involved. Unfortunately, computing these combinatorial objects is NP-hard and hard to approximate with this objective in general. Nevertheless some objects can be computed in polynomial time when the SRLGs satisfy certain structural properties of locality which correspond to practical ones, namely the star property (all links affected by a given SRLG are incident to a unique node) and the span 1 property (the links affected by a given SRLG form a connected component of the network). The star property is defined in a multi-colored model where a link can be affected by several SRLGs while the span property is defined only in a mono-colored model where a link can be affected by at most one SRLG. In this paper, we extend these notions to characterize new cases in which these optimization problems can be solved in polynomial time. We also investigate the computational impact of the transformation from the multi-colored model to the mono-colored one. Experimental results are presented to validate the proposed algorithms and principles.

In this work we present a decentralized deployment algorithm for wireless mobile sensor networks focused on deployment Efficiency, connectivity Maintenance and network Reparation (EMR). We assume that a group of mobile sensors is placed in the area of interest to be covered, without any prior knowledge of the environment. The goal of the algorithm is to maximize the covered area and cope with sudden sensor failures. By relying on the locally available information regarding the environment and neighborhood, and without the need for any kind of synchronization in the network, each sensor iteratively chooses the next-step movement location so as to form a hexagonal lattice grid. Relying on the graph of wireless mobile sensors, we are able to provide the properties regarding the quality of coverage, the connectivity of the graph and the termination of the algorithm. We run extensive simulations to provide compactness properties of the deployment and evaluate the robustness against sensor failures. We show through the analysis and the simulations that EMR algorithm is robust to node failures and can restore the lattice grid. We also show that even after a failure, EMR algorithm call still provide a compact deployment in a reasonable time.
Computer Science (CS) education researchers hope their research has real impact on teaching practices. Developers of innovative curricula and tools for CS education want teachers to adopt their new approaches. What convinces a CS teacher to change and adopt something new--or not? This paper explores factors that influence CS teachers' adoption and change. We studied our workshop participants to determine factors influencing their decision on whether to adopt a new CS curriculum. The results from our study indicate that multiple factors, some surprising, influence CS teachers' adoption. Our findings suggest that teacher excitement in a new approach drives adoption, while more organizational or social issues inhibit adoption.
Motivated by the recent refutation of information loss paradox in black hole by Hawking, we investigate the new concept of {\it non unitary random walks}. In a non unitary random walk, we consider that the state 0, called the {\it black hole}, has a probability weight that decays exponentially in $e^{-\lambda t}$ for some $\lambda>0$. This decaying probabilities affect the probability weight of the other states, so that the the apparent transition probabilities are affected by a repulsion factor that depends on the factors $\lambda$ and black hole lifetime $t$. If $\lambda$ is large enough, then the resulting transition probabilities correspond to a neutral random walk. We generalize to {\it non unitary gravitational walks} where the transition probabilities are function of the distance to the black hole. We show the surprising result that the black hole remains attractive below a certain distance and becomes repulsive with an exactly reversed random walk beyond this distance. This effect has interesting analogy with so-called dark energy effect in astrophysics.
We consider a general concept of composition and decomposition of objects, and discuss a few natural properties one may expect from a reasonable choice thereof. It will be demonstrated how this leads to multiplication and co-multiplication laws, thereby providing a generic scheme furnishing combinatorial classes with an algebraic structure. The paper is meant as a gentle introduction to the concepts of composition and decomposition with the emphasis on combinatorial origin of the ensuing algebraic constructions.
Many protocols need a discovery mechanism to enable a given node to locate one or several nodes involved in the same communication. However, there is no protocol ready to fulfill this service at the network-layer. Every protocol usually implements its own solution. In particular, multicast protocols often use a searching technique based on an algorithm called expanding ring search. This algorithm searches for nodes in all directions and thus uses much bandwidth. However a typical search can usually restrict its scan in a specific direction. To enable this broadcast restriction, we propose an oriented multicast routing algorithm. The algorithm's principle is to direct the multicast of packets towards a special node, involved in the communication, in order to search only in a limited area. The area must be as small as possible to reduce network flooding but still has to contain many nodes satisfying the search criteria. This new algorithm is the core part of a network-level node search framework also defined herein. A search protocol based on this framework could provide a network-level agent discovery service to current protocols. We have simulated an agent search with our algorithm on one side and with the expanding ring algorithm on the other side and we give comparative results.

In the era of globalization, the integration of local cultural elements into modern architecture is becoming increasingly important to maintain cultural identity. Bali, with its rich culture and architectural traditions, offers a variety of elements that can be adapted to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of modern buildings, including bank offices. The main focus of this study is to analyze how Balinese organizational values ??and cultural heritage are reflected in the physical design of bank offices, including layout, building materials, and architectural ornaments to enhance customer interaction and service creativity. The research methods used include a qualitative approach, case studies of bank offices in Bali, field observations, and interviews with architects, bank employees, and customers. The results show that cultural integration in the architectural design of bank offices can strengthen corporate identity, enhance customer experience and interaction, and encourage service innovation. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of considering cultural aspects and organizational values ??in architectural design as an effective way to create an environment that supports service innovation and enriches customer experience and also contributes to cultural preservation. These findings confirm that architecture that reflects organizational culture and local traditions can be an innovative strategy to improve the image and competitiveness of banks in the era of globalization.

Проведен мониторинговый эксперимент установления экотопической разницы по накоплению Ni, Zn, Mn, Al, Se, Cs, La и Sm мохообразным Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid в условиях антропогенно нарушенной среды Донбасса. Концентрации элементов в гаметофитах растения определены методом нейтронного активационного анализа. Экспозиция образцов проводилась с ноября 2018 г. по май 2019 г. на 24 учетных площадках Центрального Донбасса с разной степенью техногенной трансформации геосистем. Показана разница по накоплению Ni в 6.9, Zn – 10.2, Mn – 6.3, Al – 5.3, Se – 9.6, Cs – 3.9, La – 5.9 и Sm – 5.4 раза при оценке экологически напряженных территорий в сравнении с малонарушенными или восстановленными экотопами. Установлены структурно-функциональные модификации в листовом аппарате бриофита, пригодные для которые рекомендованы для фитомониторинговых исследований в экспресс-диагностике. По результатам факторного анализа были выделены две группы загрязняющих элементов, различающихся по источнику происхождения: в одну из них вошли Al, Ni, Mn, Zn, в другую – Cs, Se, La, Sm. Реализованный опыт рассматривается как элемент первичного скрининга биогеохимических характеристик в Донбассе периода 2018–2019 гг. The ecotopic difference in the accumulation of Ni, Zn, Mn, Al, Se, Cs, La and Sm in bryophyte Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid was studied during a long-term experiment in the anthropogenically disturbed environment of Donbass. The concentrations of elements in moss gametophytes were determined by neutron activation analysis. The moss samples were exposed from November 2018 through May 2019 at 24 test plots in the central Donbass with varying degrees of technogenic transformation of geosystems. When comparing ecologically stressed areas with intact or restored ecotopes, the difference in the accumulation of Ni was 6.9 times, Zn – 10.2, Mn – 6.3, Al – 5.3, Se – 9.6, Cs – 3.9, La – 5.9, and Sm – 5.4 times. There were structural and functional modifications in the leaf apparatus of bryophyte, suitable for using in further phytomonitoring studies for express diagnostics. According to the results of the factor analysis, two groups of pollutants were identified, differing in the source of origin: (1) Al, Ni, Mn, and Zn, (2) Cs, Se, La, and Sm. The obtained data are considered as part of the primary screening of biogeochemical characteristics in the Donbass in 2018–2019. Within the gradient of toxic load and local impact, the leading role of mining and metallurgical facilities in the pollution of natural ecosystems of Donbass was proved.
All this time in visual art in Bali a woman has often been placed as an object per se.Actually, in the visual work of women artists in Bali there is found an ideology that worksbehind it. This article reveals and describes the gender ideology that works behind thevisual representation of Ni Nyoman Sani that is why a descriptive qualitative study is usedby using postmodernism theory, visual semiotic theory, gender theory, ideology theory,and psychoanalysis theory to reveal the problem. This article concludes that the genderideology works behind Ni Nyoman Sani’s work, that is, concerning the consumptivism ofthe gender role in its use. It is hoped that this discussion can give us a broader and deeperunderstanding of the gender ideology that works behind Ni Nyoman Sani’s creativeprocess.

This article is aimed at describing the implications of symbolic violence towards introvert students in English education departments of universities in Bali on the educational process. There were three universities to be decided as the setting of this research; (1) Mahasaraswati University Denpasar, (2) Ganesha University of Education Singaraja and (3) IKIP Saraswati Tabanan. The subject of this study was the introvert students and distinctive lecturers of those three English education departments. The result of this study reveals that the implication on process can be perceived through class’ behavioral management, classroom learning management and classroom physical space management. Those kinds of managements were applied reversely from the critical pedagogy and emancipatory learning idealism that leads to symbolic violence, especially to the introvert students. The application was not considering the personality uniqueness of introverted students and created a one-size-fits-all idealism by adopting extroverted idealism and force introverted students to fit in it.
