Sites of Sign-Production and Interpretation; T.S. Eliot’s Semiotic Aesthetics-Poetics | Chapter 1 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 6

“Who is the third who walks continually with you?” T.S. Eliot's question in The Waste Land can be considered to sum up the hermeneutic position of any language act, whether sign production or interpretation. While traditional expressionist topoi such as the artist's subjectivity, empirical psychology, truthfulness, intentionality, and so on have become irrelevant in the heteroglot discourse of the most famous dirge on the decaying West, Eliot's awareness of the matrical role of cultural semiosis allows us to place him among the founding fathers of semiotic aesthetics. Based on the ideas of Charles Sanders Peirce and Martin Heidegger (“Destruktion,” 1920), and expanded by postwar authors like Roland Barthes (Mythologies, 1957, [1], Umberto Eco) (Trattato di semiotica generale, 1975) The semiotic approach to art is based on a mediating third (Peirce: the Interpretant), which is variously related to context, regime of signification, episteme, schemata, and triangulation of desire, according to Michel Foucault (L'archeologie du savoir,1969), Rene Girard (Mensonge romantique et verite Romanesque, 1961), and Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari (Mille plateaux Our excavation of T.S. Eliot's contextual knowledge helps us to complete the poet's own hypertext, which serves as a key to interpretation, as well as to fill in the meaning structure of The Waste Land, which appears to be a mystery due to its fragmentation and sudden shifts in space and time. We're looking for the innermost circle of reference in this essay, which is the historical setting of the poet's dialogue with Marie Larisch, a relative of Bavarian King Ludwig II, at the poem's start. We're travelling through Neuschwanstein and the surrounding area in an attempt to reclaim the land that has been erased, as evidenced by allusions in the imaginary "Waste Land."

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Study on Processing Method Influences the Effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Consumption on Blood Lipid Profile in Rats | Chapter 8 | Current Research and Development in Chemistry Vol.1

Cassava is consumed in many tropical countries and is fast becoming the major raw material of many diets, especially in the bakery, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. In a study to determine the effects of various formulations of Cassava feeds on blood lipid profile in rats. Forty adult Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 150 g were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were acclimatized for one week; fed with different formulations of Cassava feeds adlibitum, after which the rats were allotted into groups. Group 1 was fed on Garri; group 2 on Cassava flour; group 3 on Tapioca, and the control group (group 4) on normal chow. After 4 weeks, each animal was anaesthetized by exposure to chloroform vapour and blood samples collected by cardiac puncture. Group 1 diet (Garri) significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration (p<0.05) compared with the control group. In Group 2 (Cassava flour), t...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
