Published: January 2022

The Gavkhouni wetland provides many environmental and economic benefits for the central region of Iran. In recent decades, it has completely dried up several times with substantial impacts on local ecosystems and climate. Remote sensing-based Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in combination with in-situ data were used to investigate the trend of the Gavkhouni wetland dryness and the associated impact on the variability of local air temperature. The results indicate that the wetland has increasingly experienced drier conditions since the year 2000. The wetland was almost completely dry in 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2017. In addition, the results show that Gavkhouni wetland dryness has a significant impact on local climate, increasing the mean seasonal air temperature by ~1.6 °C and ~1 °C in spring and summer, respectively. Overall, this study shows that remote sensing imagery is a valuable source for monitoring dryness and air temperature variations in the region. Moreover, the results provide a basis for effective water allocation decisions to maintain the hydrological and ecological functionality of the Gavkhouni wetland. Considering that many factors such as latitude, cloud cover, and the direction of prevailing winds affect land surface and air temperatures, it is suggested to use a numerical climate model to improve a regional understanding of the effects of wetland dryness on the surrounding climate.

Published: January 2022

The goal of this study was to figure out how to regulate an induction motor in a hybrid electric vehicle. Conventional combined vector and direct control induction motors take advantage of the advantages of vector control and direct torque control. It is also a method that avoids some of the difficulties in implementing both of the two control methods. However, for this method of control, the statoric current has a great wealth of harmonic components which, unfortunately, results in a strong undulation of the torque regardless of the region speed. To solve this problem, a five-level neutral point clamped inverter was used. Through multilevel inverter operation, the voltage is closer to the sine wave. The speed and torque are then successfully controlled with a lower level of ripple in the torque response which improves system performance. The analysis of this study was verified with simulation in the MATLAB/Simulink interface. The simulation results demonstrate the high performance of this control strategy.

Published: January 2022

Medication safety events with the potential for patient harm do occur in health care settings. Pharmacists are regularly tasked with utilizing their medication knowledge to optimize the medication use process and reduce the likelihood of error.

To prepare for these responsibilities in professional practice, it is important to introduce patient safety principles during educational experiences. The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) have set forth accreditation standards focused on the management of medication use processes to ensure these competencies during pharmacy didactic learning and postgraduate training.

The experience described here provides perspective on educational and experiential opportunities across the continuum of pharmacy education, with a focus on a relationship between a college of pharmacy and healthcare system. Various activities, including discussions, medication event reviews, audits, and continuous quality improvement efforts, have provided the experiences to achieve standards for these pharmacy learners. These activities support a culture of safety from early training.
Appropriateness of Antibiotic Prescribing in Patients Discharged From a Community Hospital Emergency Department
Authors: Bauman Emily , Russell Justine , Morelli Angela
Published: January 2022

IMPORTANCE: Every year, thousands of emergency department (ED) visits result in patients being discharged with oral antibiotic prescriptions. Published studies that assess the appropriateness of these antibiotic regimens are limited.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions written for patients discharged from a community hospital’s ED.

ENDPOINTS: The primary objective was to determine the overall percent of appropriate antibiotic prescriptions for patients discharged from the ED. Secondary objectives included the following: identify reasons for inappropriateness categorized by antibiotic selection, dose, duration, and allergies; identify the most common antibiotics prescribed inappropriately as well as the most common disease states that led to inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics; and analyze prescribing trends based on provider type and time of day the prescription was written.

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Patients eligible for inclusion were adults age 18 and older who presented to the ED during four chosen weeks in 2019 and who were discharged with oral antibiotics. Extracted electronic health record data was reviewed to identify the discharge diagnosis for each patient that meets the inclusion criteria. Pertinent information gathered from the patients’ medical records along with a validated antimicrobial assessment tool were utilized to determine the level of appropriateness of the prescribed antibiotic regimens.

RESULTS: A total of 76% of the prescribed antibiotics were appropriate, 16% were inappropriate, and the remaining 8% were not assessable. Duration was the most common reason for a regimen to not be optimal. The most frequently inappropriately prescribed antibiotics included cephalexin (but it is noted cephalexin was included in almost half of the antibiotic regimens in this study), clindamycin, and azithromycin. Infections that were most frequently treated inappropriately were skin and soft tissue infections, dental infections, and sinusitis. Overall, medical residents prescribed the highest percent of appropriate regimens, and the time of day that had the highest percent of appropriate prescriptions was third shift (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.).

CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Almost half of all the nonoptimal antibiotic regimens had an excessive duration. Targeted local education efforts and future clinical decision support can facilitate appropriate prescribing of discharge antibiotics from the ED, ultimately improving antimicrobial stewardship within the community.
Immunization Stress-Related Responses: Mitigating Patient Fears and Associated Side Effects Amidst a Global Vaccination Effort
Authors: Mast Michael , Li Yihan
Published: January 2022

The event of receiving a vaccine can lead to feelings of stress and anxiety for many patients and may present as adverse events. With coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mass vaccination efforts, adverse events following immunization, including immunization stress-related reactions (ISRR), have subsequently increased. Traditionally rare, but increasingly common, cluster events have also become a concern. Demonstrated in recent publications by Hause et al. concerning Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine clinics, these adverse events can lead to personal apprehension towards receiving vaccines, as well as public distrust towards the immunization process. To combat ISRRs, mass vaccination clinics across the United States must create administration protocols to mitigate these responses. Anticipation and swift management can play a substantial role in minimizing frequency and severity of these reactions and prevent future vaccine hesitancy.
Semantic function of the choral counterpoint in Canticum sacrum by Igor Stravinsky
Authors: Fartushka O.
Published: January 2022

Background. The substantiation of the logic of stylistic synthesis in the light of the choral component of the dramaturgy of this composition opens up the prospect of studying choral counterpoint of the twentieth century as universals and also helps to identify patterns of artistic thinking. Objectives. The article is devoted to the identification of semantic function of the choral counterpoint in the context of the overall dramaturgy in Canticum Sacrum ad honorem Sancti Marci Nominis by Stravinsky. Methods. The author used hermeneutic, structural-functional, semantic research methods. The performing approach to the studying fragments of Stravinsky’s compositions reflects the specificity of choral art. Results. Choral counterpoint in the context of the overall dramaturgy Canticum sacrum develops into a separate layer, which is more than others, depends on strict norms of counterpoint. Stravinsky, relying on the traditions of the cantata genre, distinguishes the choral component into a peculiar counterpoint, which contrasts with others layers of the dramaturgy (orchestra, organ, soloists). It has been found that the solo parts of the score have a more subjective embodiment, in which there are both an expressive recitation of lyric lines (Song of Solomon 4:16, 5:1) and an emotional appeal to the God (Mark 9:23-24) while the choral layer of dramaturgy represents the main tenets of the Faith: Preaching the Gospel and Three Christian Virtues – Love, Faith and Hope. The counterpoint as a reflection of the idea of “absolute harmony” in the context of the composition is the Divine Word and the main precept with which there is sacrificial Love, Faith and Hope for the salvation. Features of the pitch organization are the result of the composer’s reference to the serialism. The combination of the principles of the classical 12-tone technique with the elements of serialism determines the specific interpretation of melodic material, intervallic structure and voice leading. Conclusions. Analysis of the fragments of Canticum sacrum score set that the choral counterpoint performs the function of objectification to express basic postulate ideas. That is why the norms of poetics of the strict counterpoint are the dominant stylistic components in the choral writing of Stravinsky. They appear in the symmetry or proportionality of the forms, the partial usage of the textural features of the samples of this stylistic direction, as well as the whole apparatus of canonic techniques.
Keyboard instruments in the system of R. Tureck’s individual performing style
Authors: Marharyta Ushakova
Published: January 2022

Statement of the problem. The thinking of a performer is conditioned by the organology and “sound image” of his instrument, which gives rise to questions about how flexible is the individual style of musicians who have mastered several instruments. Especially when it comes to performers who turn to related instruments, playing techniques of which are sometimes mutually exclusive. Analysis of recent research and publication. The research is based on works, the subject of which is the study of: 1) the sound image of the instrument (N. Riabukha, I. Sukhlenko and N. Kuchma); 2) the specifics of the organology of keyboard instruments and the regularities of interpretation of Baroque era works (N. Sikorska, M. Latcham, J. Chapman, R. Cypess, J. E. O. La Rosa and C. Wagner); 3) issues of music interpretation (H. J. Hinrichsen). Main objective of the study is to identify the role of keyboard instruments in the system of R. Tureck’s individual performing style. The scientific novelty is to create a holistic creative portrait of R. Tureck. Research methodology focuses on the relationship of special methods of analysis: comparative, systematic, stylistic and interpretive. Results. The American pianist, teacher, writer, lecturer R. Tureck was a representative of the generation of musicians of the twentieth century who became famous due to their interpretations of J. S. Bach’s legacy. At the same time, she was one of those who responded to the changes that happened in academic musical art under the influence of the development of sound recording and electronic instruments. Under the guidance of L. Theremin, she studied for a year to play the theremin and synthesizer of the inventor, and since the late 60’s of the twentieth century she played various models of Moog synthesizer. R. Tureck also collaborated with the famous American scientist Hugo Benioff to create an electronic piano. It was concluded that R. Tureck’s interest in electronic instruments, which influenced her performing thinking, can be explained by the fact that: 1. R. Tureck tried to bring J.S. Bach’s music to modern sounding. 2. This was a feature of her individual creative style. 3. She dreamed of creating a new concert instrument. Conclusions. R. Tureck mastered all the existing keyboard music instruments at that time and participated in the creation of a new one. This experience enriched the sound of her interpretations and confirmed the fact that the desire to recreate the deep sense of music works by Baroque era composers does not imply the rejection of the sound of modern instruments.
POLYPHONIC GENRES IN PIANO CREATIVITY OF CHINESE COMPOSERS
Authors: Zhang Mengzhe
Published: January 2022

Statement of the problem. The twentieth century marked an increased interest in polyphonic music. The geography of polyphonic works for piano expanded significantly and a creative development of many Chinese composers, writing polyphonic piano pieces, took place. Today, polyphonic pieces make up a significant part of the piano repertoire in China, but they are little studied by musicologists and performers. The objective of this study – to reveal the contribution of Chinese composers to the creation of polyphonic piano repertoire of the XX – early XXI century. Analysis of the research and publications on the theme. А large number of modern authors study polyphony from the point of physical and mathematical research methods (Igarashi, Yu. & Ito, Masashi & Ito, Akinori, 2013; Weiwei, Zhang & Zhe, Chen, & Fuliang, Yin, 2016; Li, Xiaoquan et al. others, 2018). This approach does not reveal the factual musical component of polyphonic genres. In the 20th century, musicologists explored polyphony in musical folklore (Wiant, 1936; Fan Zuyin, 2004; Li Hong, 2015) and in professional Chinese composing (Sun Wei-bo, 2006, Winzenburg, 2018). The scientific novelty. This article studies the role of Chinese composers in the development of the world polyphonic piano repertoire of the XX – early XXI century. The methodological basis for the analysis of polyphonic works was the theoretical concepts of P. Hindemith, Peng Cheng, Fang Zuin, Li Hong, Sun Wei-bo. The results of the study. The research outcomes demonstrate the evolutionary development of the genre diversity of Chinese piano polyphony as well as those composers who created magnificent musical pieces. Conclusions. Chinese composers have fully mastered the art of modern counterpoint, represented by the genres of polyphonic program pieces (He Lu Ting), invention (Xiao Shu Xian, Du Qian, Sun Yun Yin, Chen Chen Quang), polyphonic suite (Ma Gui), large polyphonic cycle ( He Shao, Chen Hua Do, Xiao Shu Xian), fugue (Li Jun Yong, Yu Su Yan, Chen Gang, Tian Lei Lei, Duan Ping Tai, Zheng Zhong, Xiao Shu Xian) and small cycle “Prelude and Fugue” (Ding Shan Te, Chen Zhi Ming, Wang Li Shan). Creatively assimilating and rethinking the experience of Western polyphonists, Chinese composers have filled their polyphonic works with national features, firmly linking them with the origins of Chinese traditional and folk music. The polyphonic way of transmitting musical material becomes the most expressive at the moments of profound creativity and musical dramatization.

Published: January 2022

This research was designed to investigate which factors influenced the formation of lecturers’ expectations amid online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak in an Indonesian Islamic university. The recent study employed an exploratory case study by observing online EFL writing learning activities, interviewing the three lecturers, and collecting documents. The data was then analyzed qualitatively using an interactive model. Lecturers' expectations in this study were viewed from the key focus of expectation: feedback provided by lecturers. They established class-level expectations, not individual ones as primary and secondary levels. This study elucidates Islamic university lecturers' factors contributing to form expectations: lecturers’ past teaching experiences and teaching self-efficacy. Lecturers have not highly adjusted to any change that emerged in online learning. Accordingly, they have not shown firm belief in grouping students and assuring students’ originality in composing essays. At the same time, the students' demographic factors were motivation and gender. Female students showed higher motivation through participating more often during discussions. It yielded more learning feedback they received. Implications of this study were noted for self-reflection among lecturers to establish high expectations for students to enhance their learning.

Published: January 2022

This research aims to describe the characteristic of mathematics prospective teacher's computational thinking (CT) in solving the geometric pattern problem. The subject consists of 65 preservice mathematics teachers in Universitas in Madiun. The instrument was used in this research are geometric pattern problem tests and interview guidelines. The result shows that are three types of mathematics prospective teachers in solving the problem. First, CT substantial, i.e. prospective mathematics teachers use the conceptual knowledge who collaborated with procedural knowledge exactly. They use mathematics iteration to find the pattern and express them to the general form easily. Second, CT Nominal, i.e. prospective mathematics teachers, use manual ways to solve the pattern problem. They count using numeric, not symbolic, of solving the pattern formed. They can understand the design but can't express it to the mathematics model. Third, CT procedural, i.e. mathematics prospective teacher using the procedural knowledge only, not an expert in concept, and following the steps who teaches from experience before. The recommendation for future research is to develop the research to find the other characters in other mathematics subjects, in other students, to develop the learning models who can embody CT.
