Rhythm (Exercises 41–60)

Rhythm in this chapter is conceived as the pace at which music unfolds in time. Note values, rests, and other sources of rhythmic notation are a way to control the temporal evolution of a new composition. Exercise 41 proposes a series of simple mathematical transformations to given rhythmic structures; 42 and 43 use segments of equal and unequal length. Numbers 44 and 45 incorporate the concept of non-retrogradable rhythmic structures, the goal of 46 is to extract the rhythm of a given text using its syllables and accents, 47 uses groupings to generate meter, and 48 uses a Morse code translator to extract the durations from a given text. Exercise 49 brings back the concept of rhythmic ostinato; 50 and 51 employ hemiolas. Number 52 is based on the use of several time signatures simultaneously (polymeter), 53 incorporates metric modulations, and 54 uses rhythmic motifs as building blocks. Number 55 continues with the use of motifs, shifting them in time. The concepts of <italic>talea</italic> and <italic>color</italic> from isorhythmic motets are included in exercise 56. Looping and composing using repeat signs are included in number 57; 58 is about indeterminate pauses and fermatas. Rhythmic transformations using eliminations are at the core of 59; exercise 60 proposes an experimentation with the perception of pulse.

Osip Mandelstam: Music as Philosophy

This article addresses the issue of music in the works of Osip Mandelstam. Based on works of both Russian and international scholars, the author examines the markers for music as philosophy in Mandelstam’s poetry and prose. The author identifies the common foundations of music and law, including freedom, measure, and harmony, to build the following system of argumentation. Mandelstam’s panmusical approach is rooted in a special sense of the poet’s language, of its nonverbal basis, while also serving as a starting point for thought to come into being, as the origin of personal transformation. Music in Mandelstam’s life and work thus acts as a general law of the universe, as immutable for the natural world as it is for the world of man and the world of culture.
The Asymmetric Effect of Internet Access on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa: Insight from a Dynamic Panel Threshold Regression

This article investigates the asymmetric effect of internet access (index of the internet) on economic growth in 42 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over the period 2008-2018. The estimation procedure is obtained following a dynamic panel threshold regression technique via 1000 bootstrap replications and the 400 grids search developed by Hansen (1996, 1999, 2000). The investigation first explores the presence of inflection points in the relationship between internet access and economic growth through the application of Hansen's threshold models. The finding from the nonlinearity threshold model revealed a significant internet threshold-effect of 3.55 percent for growth. The article also examines the linear short-run effect of internet access on economic growth while controlling for the effects of private sector credit, trade openness, government regulation, and tariff regimes. The marginal effect of internet access is evaluated at the minimum, and the maximum levels of government regulation and tariffs regime are positive. On the other hand, the minimum and maximum levels of private sector credit and trade openness are negative via the interaction terms. The article advances the literature by its nonlinear transformation of the relevance of internet access on economic growth by exploring interactive mechanisms of: internet access versus financial resource, internet access versus trade, internet access versus government regulation, and internet access versus the tariff regimes from end-user subscriptions. In policy terms, the statistical significance of the joint impact of government regulations and tariff regimes is relevant in the operation of the telecommunication industry in SSA countries.

Perception and intention to use e-learning from students’ point of view- an evidence from Malaysia local university / Salina Mad ... [et al.]

Education landscape has changed dramatically due to Covid19 pandemic as in many country, conventional or face-to-face teaching and learning is no longer an option to avoid the spread of a virus. E-learning become one of the best alternative to ensure education process could continue because experts believe world could only recover from this crisis in another two years. This paper will delve into students’ perspective about e-learning and their willingness to use e-learning. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to outlined this study. Majority of the student have an idea about what is e-learning. They also agree that e-learning able to be accomplished learning and assessment proses as well as enable the interaction among students and student with instructor. Result also indicate, majority of the students have positive opinion towards e-learning nevertheless they prefer e-learning to be embedded in their education process (hybrid learning) as they are still prefer to have some level of face-to-face learning. However, this result cannot be used to generalize the opinion of all university’s’ student as diploma student tend to feel more comfortable to have face-to-face interaction with lecturer because they are in the transition period from school to university.

Human Activity Tracking by Mobile Phones Through Hebbian Learning

A method for human activity recognition using mobile phones is introduced. Using the accelerometer and gyroscope typically found in modern smartphones, a system that uses the proposed method is able to recognize low level activities, including athletic exercises, with high accuracy. A Hebbian learning preprocessing stage is used to render accelerometer and gyroscope signals independent to the orientation of the smartphone inside the user’s pocket. After preprocessing, a selected set of features are obtained and used for classification by a k-nearest neighbor or a multilayer perceptron. The trained algorithm achieves an accuracy of 95.3 percent when using the multilayer perceptron and tested on unknown users who are asked to perform the exercises after placing the mobile device in their pocket without any constraints on the orientation. Comparison of performance with respect to other popular methods is provided.
Developing a model for sustainable IT infrastructure in a rural setting in Northern India

The world is rapidly advancing towards an increasingly globalised society with technology seen as an indicator of growth and development. Efforts are being made on a global scale to address social inequities and to bridge the growing digital divide between rural and urban societies. Existing research has shown however, there is still a lot to be done as the divide continues to grow larger and social development projects aimed at providing access to better infrastructure, no matter how noble the intention, still seem unable to address the complex social challenges that affect communities around the world.This raises the question, is it possible to provide access to technology that’s suitable and sustainable for rural communities, while also encouraging local empowerment and longterm social transformation? This dissertation aims to address the question by following a systems engineering process to develop a model that could be used for developing and deploying IT infrastructure in rural settings. The model takes the form of a Weighted Decision Matrix formed around distinct selection criteria. For the purpose of this dissertation, four system options are analysed through the model and the system with the highest score (thus greatest suitability) is tested in a rural setting in India to test the model’s accuracy in pre-determining deployment challenges.The results show the model is able to foresee challenges with certain aspects of the system design that could be addressed in pre-deployment stages. Although this research is largely foundational and aims to provide a new conceptual framework within which computing systems could be developed for rural areas, the model does prove to have significant practical use and with more local collaboration it can be further tailored to suit more specific needs of diverse rural communities.

A high-quality frame rate up-conversion technique for Super SloMo

In this paper, we propose several methods to improve Super SloMo, a deep learning-based frame rate up-conversion technique for the temporal quality improvement of video. In the proposed methods, the training dataset and hyper-parameter are changed and trained to obtain optimal results while maintaining the existing network structure of Super SloMo. The first method improves the cognition of images when trained with the validation set of characteristics similar to the training set. The second method reduces video loss in all validation sets when trained by adjusting the hyper-parameters of the error function value. The experimental results show that the two proposed methods improved the peak signal-to-noise ratio and the mean of the structural similarity index by 0.11 dB and 0.033% with the specialised training set and by 0.37 dB and 0.077% via adjusting the reconstruction and warping loss parameters, respectively.

The implementation of distance learning during the pandemic: the experience of the Timiryazev Academy

For the modern higher education system, it is difficult to find a more relevant topic than distance learning. Having tested the distance format in the spring of 2020, when strict self-isolation measures were introduced by the decision of the city authorities, higher educational institutions in Moscow switched to this format again in the fall of 2020, in connection with the onset of the second wave of the pandemic. Considering that subsequent waves of the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses are possible, Russian higher educational institutions must be ready to take on new challenges, which makes improving the distance learning system in each specific educational institution an extremely important task in planning and organizing the educational process. The purpose of the study: to share the experience of the Timiryazev Academy on the implementation of distance learning during the pandemic. The object of the research is distance learning. The subject of the research is the implementation of distance learning at the Timiryazev Academy in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. The research methods are content analysis of the official website of the Timiryazev Academy and other Internet resources, as well as the sociological survey of students of the Timiryazev Academy. The article shows the main problems that the academy faced when implementing distance learning: selection of high-quality content, psychological preparation of teachers, establishment of operational communication, as well as the provision of students with means of communication. The main scientific result: it is shown that the key to successfully overcoming the difficulties and solving the problems caused by the pandemic was the course for the consistent digitalization of the educational process, which began to be performed at the Timiryazev Academy even before the pandemic started.
English and Arabic Vowels: Ferreting Out the Similarity for Bridging Pronunciation Accuracy

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This study aimed at exploring the similarity between Arabic and English vowel sounds that may benefit Indonesians to pronounce some English vowels. This investigation approached whether their Arabic acquisition could facilitate their learning target language, which is English. To come up with the sought-after similarities, requiring an in-depth study on the existing literatures discussing the phonetic features of those two languages was the step to take. Accordingly, an archival study was selected and employed as a qualitative research design supported by the secondary data analysis method. Several kinds of literatures as the data sources were comprising scholarly journal articles, theory books of Arabic and English phonology, and proceedings. All of the data were available online and were readily accessed through several search-engine platforms; one of which was Google Scholar. The data collection process involved identifying the data set, evaluating the data set, tabulating, and synthesizing the data. The findings have articulated that English and Arabic languages have lax/short and tensed/long vowels. The short vowels comprised /ʌ/; /ɪ/; and /ʊ/. Meanwhile, the long vowels encompassed /a:/, /i:/, and /u:/. This sort of similarity has conveyed the notion of linguistic proximity, which contributes to language transfers upon acquiring the target language.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
