ABSTRACT: [onto]Riffology, a “plug in and play” method of inquiry that riffs across technological platforms and with all manner of material, finds easy resonance in mashup and remix. We turn our riffological sights to the Vancouver Art Gallery, which hosted MashUp from February 20th through June 12th, 2016. Creative and combinatorial, mashup is identifiable in popular discourse as fundamentally humanist and epistemological in nature; however, as an interdisciplinary, ontological practise of repurposing and reconstituting, acts of mashup also exist in geological activity, far outside of humanity, and here we apply ontological focus through riffological measures. We are interested not in seeing merely what is being exhibited, but deterritorializing what is being curated. Our emergent senses of new materialisms inform our riffology here as we ceaselessly (re)encounter the exhibition; experienced as a riff arcade of dream like experience that one mayn’t exit; like the arcades of Benjamin’s mammoth project of 1927 to 1940.

This article follows the trajectories of gluten in the context of Coeliac disease as a gastrointestinal condition managed by lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Oriented by the concept of gluten as an actant (Latour), I engage in an analysis of gluten as a participant in volatile relations of consumption, contact, and contamination across coeliac eating. I ask questions about biomedical knowledge production in the context of everyday dietary practices alongside two current scientific research projects developing gluten-degrading enzymes and gluten-free wheat crops. Following the new materialisms of theorists like Elizabeth A. Wilson, Jane Bennett, Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour, I approach gluten as an alloy, an impure object, a hybrid assemblage with self-organizing and disorganizing capacity, not entirely peptide chain nor food additive, not only allergen but also the chewy, sticky substance that gives pizza dough its elastic, malleable consistency. Tracing the trajectories of gluten, this article is a case study of the tricky, slippery capacity of matter to participate in processes of scientific knowledge production.

Kamus baca bergambar merupakan salah satu media penunjang pembelajaran yang dapat membuat siswa lebih tertarik dan mempermudah dalam proses pembelajaran. Berdasarkan observasi, bahwa banyak berbagai macam kamus baca bergambar yang ditemukan. Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi daya tangkap pemahaman siswa dalam Bahasa Mandarin. Oleh sebab itu, pada penelitian ini  peneliti berusaha menganalisis kamus baca bergambar Bahasa Mandarin sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini, yaitu 1) Mengetahui kebutuhan siswa akan kamus baca bergambar untuk mempermudah siswa dan guru belajar bahasa Mandarin, 2) Mengetahui kesesuaian kamus baca bergambar dengan kebutuhan siswa melalui analisis SWOT untuk mempermudah belajar bahasa Mandarin. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, karena peneliti akan menjabarkan kebutuhan kamus baca bergambar untuk mempermudah siswa belajar Bahasa Mandarin. Hasil dari penelitian ini menghendaki kamus baca bergambar yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa berdasarkan penyusunan kosakata, jumlah kosakata per halaman, tampilan/ layout kosakata, font Hanzi, font size Hanzi, font Pinyin, font size Pinyin, gambar/ ilustrasi.Picture reading dictionary is one of the supporting learning media that can make students more interested and simplify the learning process. Based on observations, that many various kinds of picture reading dictionaries were found. This can affect the comprehension of students' comprehension in Mandarin. Therefore, in this study the researchers tried to analyze the Chinese picture reading dictionary according to the students' needs. The purpose of this study, namely 1) Knowing the needs of students for picture reading dictionaries to facilitate students and teachers learning Mandarin, 2) Knowing the suitability of picture reading dictionaries with students' needs through SWOT analysis to facilitate learning Chinese. This research uses descriptive qualitative method, because the researcher will describe the need for  a picture reading dictionary to facilitate students learning Mandarin. The results of  this study require a picture reading dictionary that suits students' needs based on vocabulary preparation, number of vocabularies per page, display / layout of vocabulary, Hanzi fonts, Hanzi font sizes, Pinyin fonts, Pinyin font sizes, pictures / illustrations.Picture reading dictionary is one of the supporting learning media that can make students more interested and simplify the learning process.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'SFRM1000';">Es común en geoestadística utilizar métodos como el variograma o el coe- ficiente de correlación para describir la dependencia espacial y kriging para rea- lizar interpolación y predicción, pero estos métodos son sensibles a valores extremos y están fuertemente influen- ciados por la distribución marginal del campo aleatorio. Por lo tanto, pueden conducir a resultados poco fiables. Co- mo alternativa a los modelos tradicio- nales de geoestadística se considera el uso de las funciones cópula. La cópula es ampliamente usada en el campo de las finanzas y ciencias actuariales y debi- do a sus resultados satisfactorios empe- zaron a ser consideradas en otras áreas de aplicación de las ciencias estadísti- cas. En este artículo se muestra el efec- to de las cópulas como una herramienta que muestra un análisis geoestadístico bajo todo el rango de cuantiles y una es- tructura de dependencia completa, con- siderando modelos de tendencia espa- cial, distribuciones marginales continuas y discretas y funciones de covarianza. Se presentan tres métodos de interpolación espacial: el primero corresponde al indi- cador kriging y kriging disyuntivo, el se- gundo método se conoce como el kriging simple y el tercer método es una predic- ción plug-in y la generalización del kri- ging trans-Gaussiano, estos métodos son utilizados con base en la función cópula debido a la relación que existe entre las cópulas bivariadas y los indicadores de covarianzas. Se presenta resultados ob- tenidos para un conjunto de datos reales de la ciudad de Gomel que contiene me- diciones de isotopos radioactivos, conse- cuencia del accidente nuclear de Cher- nóbil. Finalmente, se presenta resultado obtenidos con el uso de cópulas discre- tas a un conjunto de datos simulados, esto permite realizar una extensión a los trabajos usuales de cópulas en Geoesta- dística. Este artículo es producto de la tesis de Maestría dirigida por el Profe- sor Edilberto Cepeda de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. </span></p></div></div></div>
