The Gates of Sky by Ede Terényi: Sources and Context
Authors:   Faculty of Letters and Arts, Department of Arts, Partium Christian University, Oradea, Romania. Email: fodorattila@partium.ro., Fodor Attila
Published: January 2024

"The ninth decade of the last century brought an opening for domestic composers towards themes less tolerated until then, especially religious ones. In the case of Ede Terényi, this resulted, among other, in a considerable number of church choral works of Protestant and Catholic origin. The Gates of Sky composed in 1996 stands out in this context not only for its musical complexity, but also for the way it deals with a subject that has its roots beyond Christianity in archaic cultures. Our study aims to investigate those factors that contributed to the conception of this piece rich in meaning and significance, its sources of inspiration, and the shaping of the text of the three movements. In a subsequent study we will also discuss elements of style and expression in a detailed musical analysis. Keywords: Ede Terényi, The Gates of Sky, choir music, ritual, world tree"
Interferences Between Tradition and Modernity in the Symphonic and Concerto Works by Adrian Pop – (2) Etos I
Authors:   „Gheorghe Dima” National Academy of Music, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Email: paula.sandor@amgd.ro., Șandor Paula
Published: January 2024

"The present study is part of a series of analytical approaches undertaken on the symphonic-concertant oeuvre of Cluj composer Adrian Pop. Following the chronological order of the works and keeping as a reference their common source of inspiration – namely the Romanian folklore –, the conclusion seeks to highlight the way in which the composer’s individuality relates to both the trends of contemporary language and the European cultured musical tradition, without attenuating the signs of the local stylistic matrix. Starting from the melody of a Miorița from Sălaj, whose typology will prove crucial in rendering the Blagian concept of the undulating plain, the composer uses traditional means – in particular the timbral essences and effects specific to folk organology – or contemporary techniques such as spectralism, texturalism, heterophony, to capture both the descriptive aspects of the idyllic universe and the archaic, archetypal, timeless and, last but not least, tragic essences of the philosophical and literary source. The symphonic discourse established at the level of the three main sections of the work follows a path of almost organic development, from the cellular-motivic elements that anticipate the Miorița theme, engaged in homogeneous, pulsating, diaphanous, or extremely dissonant textures, to the unique moment of virtuosity of the two semantroms in the central section and, finally, to the display of the original melody in juxtaposition, or superimposition with its inversion, in a tableau dominated by the ascent and descent of the flocks of sheep. Keywords: folklore, melody, variation, evolution, texturalism, heterophony, spectralism, timbrality"

Authors: Santoso Rudi , Mukhlis Iqbal Ramadhani
Published: January 2024

Libraries may be at risk of data security issues. The threat of data loss or data damage is prone to occur in libraries. Information technology embedded in libraries has developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) for information retrieval systems. The application of information technology in the Surabaya City Library has potential risks to data security and force majeure aspects so that need a disaster mitigation plant. This study aimed to implement information system risk management at Surabaya City Libraries as a disaster mitigation plan. The research method was descriptive qualitative. Based on the risk analysis, the recommendations for applying risk to information technology Surabaya City Library were elimination and engineering. The manifestation of these two recommendations made the data access protocol use multiple authentications to avoid data theft attempts due to infiltration, hacking, and cracking. Study results recommended a protocol for each data access. The protocol would save every change, deletion, and system login in the log history. Implementing data authentication twice per login can avoid data theft caused by the intrusion. This activity log is used for activity tracking when the system is infiltrated. The limitation of this study lies in the scope of the research object, namely the library, which has limitations on the system or application used and does not impact the wider community. Conclusion of research, the library can implement risk management strategy with elimination and engineering models through recording system login activities, which mitigate the risk of data breaches originating from insiders.
representación del espacio vacío como retorno al origen
Authors: Cristiá Batista Felix Alejandro
Published: January 2024

La nada y el vacío son conceptos que podemos reconocer como fundamentales en la filosofía oriental, sin embargo, a diferencia de las concepciones adoptadas en Occidente, en el pensamiento antiguo chino –y haciendo énfasis en el daoísmo (??)– la nada no se presenta como algo de carácter ontológico, sino como un estado previo indefinible. De manera similar, el espacio vacío se manifestaba en las artes como la representación del lugar en el que ocurrían los cambios y las transformaciones de la realidad, apuntando hacia el ideal del artista en dejarse fluir durante el proceso de creación. De esta manera se hacía presente la ausencia, acercándose al origen de todas las cosas.
El Debate Historiográfico en torno al Sistema Nobi
Authors: Andrades Sánchez David
Published: January 2024

Actualmente existe un debate en torno a la naturaleza del sistema nobi a lo largo de la historia de Corea. Podemos encontrar historiadores que definen el sistema nobi como un sistema de esclavitud y a los nobi como esclavos, y a historiadores que prefieren definirlo como un sistema de servidumbre y a los nobi como siervos. En este artículo se expone la interpretación que el historiador estadounidense James B. Palais ofreció sobre el sistema nobi en la dinastía Joseon de Corea a partir de su producción intelectual, poniendo un mayor énfasis en la interpretación ofrecida en su obra Confucian Statecraft and Korean Institutions: Yu Hyongwon and the Late Choson Dynasty, además de exponer las influencias intelectuales que motivaron esta interpretación por parte de Palais. La interpretación de Palais sobre el sistema nobi reviviría el debate en torno a la naturaleza del sistema nobi y sentaría las bases de la interpretación del sistema nobi para los futuros historiadores de Corea.
Effect of angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor on physical activity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, monitored by implantable electronic device home monitoring
Authors: Volis Ina , Postnikov Maria , Reiner-Benaim Anat , Hellman Yaron , Marcusohn Erez
Published: January 2024

Aims

Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) therapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with significant improvement in mortality as well as morbidity and quality of life. However, maximal ARNI doses often result in hypotension. Recent studies with ‘real world’ experience suggest that lower doses of ARNI are as effective as higher doses.

In order to evaluate the symptomatic effect of low-dose ARNI in HFrEF patients, we analyzed physical activity data obtained via home monitoring of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed physical activity data obtained from HFrEF patients with CIED-active home monitoring during the years 2021–2022. Patients with ARNI therapy were further divided into subgroups according to the administered dose. Low-dose ARNI included doses of up to 24/26 mg sacubitril/valsartan daily. Intermediate dose and high dose included doses of 72/78–120/130 mg/day, and 144/156–194/206 mg/day, respectively.

Results

A total of 122 patients had home monitoring-compatible CIEDs and HFrEF during the study period. Sixty-four of these patients were treated with ARNI. Administration of low-dose ARNI resulted in a 20% increase in daily activity when compared with patients without ARNI treatment (P = 0.038). Change in physical activity of patients in the intermediate-dose and high-dose groups was not significant. Younger patients, patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy, and patients without diabetes mellitus were more physically active.

Conclusion

Low-dose ARNI had a beneficial effect on physical activity in HFrEF patients. MH via CIED provided real-life objective data for patients’ follow-up.
Alignment of buccally displaced canines following premolar extractions: archwtre or natural alignment?
Authors: Lew Kenneth
Published: January 2024

The alignment times of buccally displaced maxillary canines following first premolar extractions were studied in 2 groups. The control group (n=28) comprised of cases where no appliances were used while the experimental group (n=28) had Begg brackets bonded on the upper teeth in conjunction with Sentalloy archwire. The imbrication indices (I.I.) of all canines were recorded for both groups prior to extraction and every 5 days after extractions until the canines aligned. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the alignment rate at 30 days and 60 days between the 2 groups. However, the alignment rates at 90 and 120 days were both significantly faster in the experimental compared to the control group (p < 001). While the alignment rates at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days in the experimental group followed a plateaued curve, the alignment rates in the control group followed a cusped curve. The results indicated that a 2 months self-alignment period following premolar extractions would be justified in most cases before banding.
Hypodontia in the permanent dentition: a study of its prevalence in Malaysian children
Authors: Nik-Hussein Nik Moriah
Published: January 2024

An investigation of the prevalence and distribution of hypodontia was carried out in Malaysian children between the ages of five to fifteen years. Hypodontia occurred in 2.8 per cent of these children. A greater number of females were found to have hypodontia, the ratio of affected females to males is 1.6:1. The teeth most frequently missing were the maxillary lateral incisors followed by the mandibular lateral incisors, then the mandibular second premolars. The aetiology of the condition is discussed. It is noteworthy that studies showing the lower second premolars to be most commonly missing have younger subjects. This suggests delayed development of these teeth in some individuals.

Published: January 2024

The dioecious gymnosperm self-sown ornamental plant Ephedra foeminea Forssk (Ephedraceae: Gnetales) has a special interest due to its nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties. The present study contributes with data about the phenology of the plant in Attica, Greece, and the complex of its scale insect pests (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha), Stotzia ephedrae (Newstead) (Coccidae) (morphology, phenology, biology, natural enemies), Dynaspidiotus ephedrarum (Lindinger) (morphology, natural enemies) and Leucaspis riccae Targioni Tozzetti (Diaspididae) (natural enemies), based on observations made from April 2021 to June 2023. Stotzia ephedrae which was the scale species found in higher numbers on E. foeminea is a univoltine, oviparous and biparental species recorded as settled 1st instar nymph on the shoots of E. foeminea from May to January. The fecundity of the scale fluctuated between 370 and 598 eggs per female. The results on the phenology of S. ephedrae contribute to the knowledge of the critical period for the pest control, i.e. from May to January during which the scale remains in the sensitive first instar. In addition, the records of parasitoids and predators in the colonies of the scale insects infesting E. foeminea provide information on the available natural enemies for potential use in biological control schemes of these pests.
Population dynamics of Meloidogyne graminicola in soil in different types of direct-seeded rice agroecosystems in Hunan Province, China

Published: January 2024

The rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is increasingly widely distributed in China and has had a severe incidence in Hunan Province. It is thus necessary to investigate its population dynamics in paddy fields. This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of direct-seeded rice agroecosystems on the population dynamics of M. graminicola and root gall development in rice. The results indicated that the population density of M. graminicola in soil was markedly influenced by the agroecosystem, rainfall and temperature. The population density of M. graminicola J2, and eggs in the soil and root galls, were significantly larger in the dry aerobic rice agroecosystem and in the rain-fed upland agroecosystem than in the lowland double-rice cropping sequence agroecosystem. As it can affect soil moisture rainfall was the key factor affecting the density of nematodes in both the rain-fed upland agroecosystem and the dry aerobic rice agroecosystem. Field flooding was still an effective way to reduce the population density of M. graminicola. In addition, we observed that M. graminicola can lay eggs outside rice roots under laboratory conditions. Therefore, we propose a hypothesis that M. graminicola lays egg masses within roots when the soil moisture is high, but lays eggs outside when the soil moisture is suitable. By clarifying the population dynamics of M. graminicola in different types of direct-seeded rice agroecosystems, this study is conducive to controlling rice root-knot nematodes.

Published: January 2024

Poverty alleviation, employment creation, environmental conservation and income augmentation can be transformed based on agricultural diversification. Lotus farming is considered as a solution to improve income and livelihood for smallholder farmers. Many different products and values can be explored from lotus farming including lotus flower, lotus root, lotus seed, lotus fiber, as well as combining ecotourism. But many barriers are preventing the lotus products diversification of lotus growers. This study will provide a better understanding of lotus farming and explore the barriers to lotus products diversification and causes of these barriers. Phong Dien district, central Vietnam was selected as a case study. The qualitative research was applied through 54 semi-structured interviews including lotus growers, lotus buyers and officers of local government, as well as one focus-group discussion, observation method and secondary data from statistical data and reports were also conducted. The research findings indicated that there is a big gap between lotus products diversification of lotus growers and available lotus products on the market. Lotus growers only grow and sell raw products, of which, fresh unshelled lotus seed is the main product. Lack of knowledge, worries on loss, lack of market and market information, lack of labour and machines and traditional production habits are main determinants of the barriers. Characteristics of lotus seed, high production and monopoly of collectors are different features in barriers to lotus product diversification compared to other crop diversification.

Published: January 2024

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its consequences have altered people's perceptions of the availability of high-quality housing. Nigeria, the most populous country in sub-Saharan Africa, has taken many initiatives to address its growing population's housing demands. However, considerable focus has been placed only on housing quantity at the expense of housing quality. This study aims to investigate the interplay of factors affecting the provision of high-quality public housing projects in Nigeria. The objective is to identify the factors that significantly influence project success and failure in the delivery of quality public housing projects. A descriptive survey design with 351 randomly selected households and built environment experts (BEPs) was used. A self-developed structured questionnaire was used to collect data from households, buildings, and professionals over the course of three months. The findings indicate that in several buildings, the indoor air temperature and relative humidity extend acceptable limits (for example, 28 °C and 70% RH), which can have an effect on indoor air quality. Meanwhile, responses from the BEPs revealed that in order to develop high-quality housing, adequate project financing, evaluation of suitable building materials, and project management expertise were required. The study's conclusion emphasises that considering only the number of houses required to accommodate Nigeria's growing urban population is insufficient; rather, other factors such as appropriate design for improved air quality, high-quality and appropriate building materials, adequate project financing, and project management expertise would result in the quality delivery of livable public housing in Nigeria.

Parental Leave Policies and Gender Equality: A Survey of the Literature
Authors: Farré Lídia
Published: January 2024

Important gender differences still persist in many labor market outcomes. This paper argues that the design  of parental leave policies can play an important role in shaping these differences. A summary of the literature reveals that extended maternity leave mandates increase female labor force participation at the cost of lower wages, less presence of women in high-profile occupations and a more traditional division of tasks within the family. Periods of leave exclusively reserved for fathers are proposed as a policy instrument to increase men's participation in family tasks and facilitate women's progress in the professional career. The paper concludes with a revision of these policies and their implications for gender equality.
Gender Gaps in PISA Test Scores: The Impact of Social Norms and the Mother’s Transmission of Role Attitudes
Authors: González de San Román Ainara , De la Rica Sara
Published: January 2024

The existence of gender gaps in test scores has been documented in the relevant literature for a wide range of countries. In particular, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted by the OECD over the past ten years reveals that on average girls underperform (outperform) boys in maths (reading) scores in most of the countries that take part in the evaluation programme. Focussing primarily on maths we find that differences in culture and social norms across countries and across regions within the same country are crucial determinants in understanding gender differences in PISA 2009 scores: girls perform relatively better in societies where gender equality is enhanced, and the effect varies over the distribution of scores. In addition, we find substantial evidence for the intergenerational transmission of gender role attitudes within the family, especially from mothers to daughters, as the relative performance of girls with respect to boys is better in families where the mother is active in the labour market.

Reformas de las pensiones públicas y privadas en España: Persiguiendo la solvencia y la suficiencia
Authors: Rosado Cebrián Beatriz , Alonso Fernández Juan J.
Published: January 2024

El sistema público de pensiones español ha sido sometido a una serie de reformas de gran calado, tanto paramétricas como estructurales, durante los años 2011 y 2013. Estas reformas conllevan una mejora de la solvencia del sistema que garantiza la viabilidad del mismo, pero implican además una disminución en el poder adquisitivo de los pensionistas presentes y futuros. Este hecho implica una necesidad de ahorrar para complementar la pensión pública de jubilación. El tratamiento fiscal favorable de las cantidades destinadas al ahorro finalista se ha considerado como un instrumento incentivador del ahorro, y la reforma del Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas de 2014 conlleva modificaciones que afectan a los sistemas complementarios de previsión social. En este trabajo analizaremos tanto el efecto que, sobre la solvencia y la suficiencia de las pensiones públicas y privadas, han tenido la reforma del sistema de pensiones español, como el tratamiento fiscal del ahorro de 2014.
